Need help with flashing the official 4.0.4 image

Hi,
Here it is ...
My Galaxy Nexus (GSM), retail version, official 4.0.2 is virgin No change, no modification, no fastboot-unlocked.
So, anyone have a clear instruction how to flash the official 4.0.4 image that just been released?
I don't plan to install any custom ROM, nor recovery. At least for now.
My system at home is Windows 7, 64 bit.
Thanks.

I am not going to answer this as a simple search will give you answers to all the questions you have. There are tons of threads here with the info you need, just do a little searching.
If you don't understand how to do it after reading all the info, then perhaps you shouldn't...
Not trying to sound like a ****, but one should already have searched before making a new thread in the wrong forum to ask a noob question.
Swyped from my GNex on 4.0.4 AOKP b29 using XDA Premium.

You're phone needs to be "yakju" in order to flash the latest update.
Instructions should be laying around here somewhere.
Otherwise, wait for the carrier to push it to you.

I would reccomend you use the Gnex Toolkit, it is very self explanatory. Use it to flash the 4.0.4 factory image.

Any phone can be easily changed to yakju and you only need to be yakju to receive the 4.0.4 OTA as of now. If you flash it manually using the factory images any gsm galaxy nexus can be on 4.0.4.

update error in my gnex ota

Hello everyone.
I have Yakju Galaxy nexus just bought it a month ago. Its version is 4.0.4 few days ago I got a message to update to JB so I started the update but when it restarts the phone I get a green android with something like a jewel in his stomach and a loading bar below it. But just after few seconds (the loading bar didn't finish) the android fall on his back with a red triangle and exclamation mark ! In it then the phone started with the same software. What is the problem and what should I do to get JB. Btw the update file size was 144.9 mb and am on the stock not rooted
And i have important data that i don't want to lose

Try again? Do you have an SD card? Are you almost full on space?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Try downloading the update again. Make sure you have a good data connection (wifi is best). The file may not have downloaded properly.
The Android you saw is not an error, it's just in recovery mode, meaning it's updating the system software. Be patient and let it finish. When it's done, go into settings>about phone, and check the android version.. Good luck!

did you convert the phone to yakju?
did you change any radios or bootloaders? something the update is looking for doesnt match what your phone has.

I did try many times with the same thing happened. I have no SD card cuz the galaxy nexus doesn't has a slot for sd card but i have more than 5gb free space

As Zepius said above, you must be 100% stock for the ota to apply.
i.e.If you switched to yakju and didn't flash the matching radio you must do so.

If you haven't flashed your phone, there's a good chance it not actually a yakju build. My phone was originally a yakjuwx build or something of the sort...
Could you please take a screen shot of your 'about phone' screen, and just to make things really easy in determining what build your phone is -
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.cbruegg.officialupdate
Download "GN official update checker" from the play store (it's not really official from Google, but it checks if you have an official Google build and will be getting direct OTA updates from them rather than Samsung builds, such as my phone's original build)
In any case, it doesn't require any permissions, so just download it and tell me what it says your build is...

Sorry I couldn't find the program you mention but here is my screenshot
Btw I can tell its yakju cuz I remember I found in the internet something said to open a file from your system which I can't remember but when I open it I found it is yakju
I added a photo from Google maps setting which is said yakju device

Well, you're right, you have a yakju build. Bad news is I have no idea what's wrong with the system update, no reason it shouldn't be working...
Only thing I can suggest is to get in the game Unlock your bootloader, root, and and flash it on your own. Sorry I can't be much more helpful beyond that.

As was mentioned earlier, there is something on your device that is not stock. You can't tell what it is when you use the stock recovery. You need to try to flash the update via CWM, and it will tell you exactly where it fails. See the "update" link in my signature for instructions.

Can't update to 4.1 Jelly Bean?

Just bought my Nexus a little over a week ago as to an S3 can't seem to update to jelly bean for some reason though..help?

Lol. Just download the Tool Kit and the official Google 4.1.1 firmware that is available from their site (Links are in Development Section | Official Firmware links) make sure you know if your's is maguro or toro, then download the respective firmware and flash it via ToolKit.

Don't use a toolkit. Learn how to unlock bootloader and fastboot on your own as it is better than having it spoon fed

Did you try going into Settings > Apps > All Applications > Google Services Framework & Clear cache / Clear data? Sometimes doing that will make it work. Try that. Don't use a toolkit...

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

Don't you look out for traffic when crossing the road?

fastboot oem unlock
Doesn't get easier than that.
And if just trying to get updates then do the checkin dialer. It forces the update to push

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?

[Q] Issue with installing 4.2.2

Hi all,
I have recently gotten a Galaxy Nexus and have been trying to run the update for 4.2.2 and whenever it restarts to update, it goes to the android lying on it's back with it's stomach open and a red triangle with exclamation mark in it. I'm pretty sure it hasn't been rooted (no SU installed, another way to check?) and I have done a bit of searching but haven't really found anything that doesn't require the use of ADB etc to fix this, so I wanted to check if that is the only way to get the update on.
Here's some info about the phone:
SIM Unlocked
Current ROM: 4.1.1
Baseband: I9250UGKL1
Current Build: JRO03C
Product Name: Tuna
Variant: Maguro
HW Version: 9
Bootloader Version: PRIMEKK14
Lock state: Unlocked
Apologies if I have missed some obvious bit of info somewhere and thank you in advance for pointing me in the right direction.
Thanks!

If you have unlocked bootloader, and you didnt flash userdata.img, then nothing is wiped.

[Q] My Nexus is stuck in 4.1.2 stock

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

With fastboot. No toolkits of course.

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
