Hey All,
Just got a friends Nexus and it was last used with 4.1.2 jellybean, I tried updating via OTA in settings but there is no update there and says my phone is up to date. I'd like at least 4.2.2 although 4.3 would do well
I've tried using methods of clearing data from the Google framework but that did not work.
Also I have only just installed everything i want on it as i had to factory reset.
Any help?
Thanks in advance

Its unlocked, Australian. That's all I know, in the about phone section of the settings it says the model is Galaxy Nexus.

With fastboot. No toolkits of course.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
and to add to this, to find all relevant info on your build I believe you can find it in bottom left when you boot into fastboot/bootloader
which is done by holding both volume buttons and power button down all at the same time
I'm not this bad with technology but am new to this device aha
I think I may have screwed up pretty majorly,
I rooted and installed cwm as usual and tried flashing updates but that didn't work
Then I decided that I would install a custom ROM on it which I wasn't going to, so now I'm stuck as I wiped data and tried flashing both pa and slim but both failed, I assume this is because of an older version of cwm which was used because it was needed to flash the updates.
So now I am stuck without an os and when I boot it just goes through the Google logo twice then goes to cwm.
What is suggested for these situations aha? Thanks

Just use adb sideload. Saved my ass a couple of times too.
Thanks but I found a really good method on XDA because I believe it was soft bricked. I used Odin to flash stock 4.2.2 and that got rid of root and custom recovery. Once that was done I then updated to 4.3 in the settings via ota
Thank you for all you help
I have no idea about any of this adb sideload stuff so I'll learn about it before I screw up next time aha

Can someone link to a guide dealing with restoring a Nexus? It's stuck at the Google logo. I can get into bootloader mode with power+volume down, but it's not reacting when trying to navigate with the volume buttons after that.
I got a little bit tired of waiting for official firmware on my Galaxy S2 (even if CM was fun) so I got a Nexus yesterday - great price these days. It was the 4.0.1 yakju version as I'm in Western Europe.Unlocked and rooted with Root Toolkit v1.4 after which I wanted to install 4.0.4 using this guide. Got as far as flashing system.img and then the above happened.
All I want is to get back to working stock so that I can flash 4.1. Have no data on the device so a factory reset is no problem.
Much appreciated.

Just fastboot flash Nexus Factory Images if you have no problem with wiping your data. That's odd that your bootloader won't respond to volume buttons... I might say try reflashing the bootloader and recovery, but since your bootloader is acting up right now, I'd go to flashing the factory images first, and if that doesn't work, try reflashing just bootloader and a custom recovery.

Flashed with CWM-SuperSU-v0.92-mod which worked like a charm. I now have both Superuser and SuperSU installed, with the latter taking precedence, but I guess that doesn't matter.

Let's not forget needs about toroplus.. don't need Verizon stuff on sprint. Adb is so easy! Use that! Toolkit is for halfa++ corner cutters
After you clear cache go to your dialer and type *#*#checkin#*#* and wait for confirmation then immediately go to settings about phone and update.
Based on the screen shot, it's gsm but build number isn't there. What build is the Op on? So far it's only yakju/takju, yakjuxw, yakjuxe, and yakjuzs that have jb so if he's on a different build and really want jb, then he needs to flash but if he can wait, then he has to wait still

I was stuck on 4.0.3 for a week and just got tired of waiting and just rooted and loaded the stock 4.1.1 rom. This was my first time rooting and loading the rom. Wasn't hard at all.

You don't need to root it to load the factory image from Google. You only need the bootloader unlocked and you can do it through fastboot. Really very simple That's your best bet. As far as the first toolkit, I don't think there's any harm in using it specially if you're just going to use it to flash the factory image and unlock bootloader.
Try going to menu, options, applications, scroll over to all applications and clear data on Google services framework, Then go to about phone, system updates. That's what I did for the ota jb.

Not really. If you want to claim warranty, you can always lock the bootloader. And just use the toolkit from the thread in the development section. Remember you only have to do 2 things, unlock bootloader and flash factory image for 4.1.2.

I would agree with you completely. But I feel you're going to spend more time explaining it to someone who would rather take the easier way out than do all that. Yesterday had to explain to a 40 year old, father of two what adb was that I felt he was probably not ready to start sipping from the advanced user's method. I spent an hour trying to explain everything, what more if there was no toolbox?

Hi,
As the title says, I still don't have 4.2 update for my Galaxy Nexus and I can't make it to update. I tried the trick by clearing cache from Google Services Framework app but still can't make it to update.
Couple of days ago I needed to restart it, and I think then started to upgrade, but I didn't have time then to wait so I needed to skip the update, but since then nothing helps. This should heve been updated long ago.
The device is not carrier specific and it was bought from Amazan.
Anyone any idea on what I can do?
Thanks!
1.) root
2.) flash rom
3.)????
4.)profit!

use search, this question has been beaten into the ground.
You most likely have the jc003 build International GNex. That one depends on Samsung for OTA updates. I got a used one from Amazon and this was the case. You should just root it and update it manually. Yeah it is a pain in the ass but there isn't another way. It takes some time to get everything correctly set up but it is easier than you might think.

Can someone please make a stock 4.3 rooted rom for the Sprint Galaxy Nexus? Or, if someone has already received the update, could you post a nand backup?

when I updated from 4.1 to 4.2.1, I had CWM, and I got the ota, with it prompting me to keep root and disable recovery flash. I actually have the zip on my phone, I'm just scared of what will happen if I try to flash it. I don't have access to a PC, so there's no way to recover if I f*ck up.

If you're doubting the update don't, the OTA process involves sending the update 1 by 1 randomly so that everyone doesn't download the file at once and overload the download servers, causing bad downloads, and bricking devices and in the end you'll get unhappy customers.

Tl;dr custom recovery stayed, root obtained by flashing supersu.

I renamed the file update.zip and tried this, and no go, what am I doing wrong, could it be due to being on a 4.2.2 ROM?

I went and restored a backup of Stock 4.2.1, and just flashed over that. No wiping or anything. Do you have a Stock backup?

Nope, any chance on flashing a stock rooted ROM perhaps.

You could try it. My Stock ROM was rooted, and I all I had to do was reflash my Superuser zip after I let it boot up once, just to make sure the update took properly.

Download the file from the linked thread there for our device and then pick which instruction set applies to you from the second post in that thread. Since I'm leaving Sprint and giving my Gnex to my two year old, I unrooted, returned to stock, and locked the device. After following the directions for adb sideload, everything came up great.

Hi guys,
Actually i have a galaxy nexus gt I9250M running 4.4.2 Cyanogenmod. I accidentally deleted my phone official 4.0.4 Rom backup. Now i want to make it official. I know to use Odin properly to make my phone official but the problem is i cant find my phone official Rom. I searched samfirmware website but i cant understand which file to choose. As i installed 4.4.2 Rom on my nexus. I cant use the *#1234# code for knowing my PDA. My base band version is TDVLH1. If anyone knows about selecting the right firmware plz help me. I cant check it by Samsung kies as it says my phone model is incorrect.
Thanks,

I dont see why you want but just use fastboot to return to stock. Download the right factory image and flash it.

Yea, what he said...times a thousand!
You MIGHT be able to use Odin... but why... just use fastboot and the correct package from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Note there are two different maguro sections. You can find your specific one via looking at information in the Bootloader(power and both volume buttons at same time will bring you to bootloader/fastboot mode)

Official? No. Custom roms? Probably but maybe not. I heard it is only a camera update or something like that.

I even put the link in my reply buddy!
if you are unsure which one you need from that page, it is going to be a maguro package.
I think there are two different ones for maguro, takju and yakju or something. you can find out which one u have I believe within the bootloader menu, it should have all relevant info listed in bottom left of screen
I have a gnex sch-i515 I'm having trouble with the drivers when I hook my phone up to my pc. I went to Samsung's website and downloaded the only driver listed for the sch-i515. Tried to install but it didn't work after a minute of searching a screen pops up saying please insert the disc that came with your phone. Iv searched xda hopping someone could help me out but no luck yet. I wish that there was a video showing exactly how to unlock the Verizon Galaxy Nexus sch-i515 running 4.2.2 stock
