I want to do a clean flash but I can't... where are the factory images?
They sure are dicking around with this release.
I guess this is the cleanest install you can do:

Should be the same as factory image right?

So I'm looking for the stock rom for the new GSM GN that came out, possibly deodexed and rooted already. Can't seem to find it with search. Thanks.

"takju" is the most recent coming on the Google Play version. Its just "yakju" but with Google Wallet pre-installed.
Flash via fastboot and root yourself. Takes 15min.

Why would you want that, when you can flash the official one with fastboot?

Who knows maybe you're on vacation or something.
I mean after all, some of us are "flashaholics"
and actually.. I have honestly flashed on the to go. But that was for kernels not ROM. But realistically speaking, if I was on a trip and a new version of a ROM came out. I'd probably just flash it to stay updated

I've been trying to restore my GSM Nexus to Takju factory images with fastboot but I can't get it to work. Can someone package all of the factory images into a flashable zip? Thanks!

If you want, give the attachment a try. It's just a little script I created to flash a stock ROM via CWM. I have not tested it out yet, so I can't guarantee it will work.
You need to put the takju boot and system images into the root of the zip file, and then flash the zip in CWM.
Notes:
1) As always, do a nandroid backup before flashing anything.
2) I'm not responsible if you lose any of your data.
3) You will probably have to wipe after you flash this.
4) No, this will not "brick" your device. (As mentioned earlier, you may lose your data.)
It is still not here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#yakju
Should I flash to stock, update via OTA?
Or should I wait for factory image?
Factory image for me looks like a cleaner install than a patch on an existing 4.0.4 installation.
Same dilemma here bro, im waiting another week, if not, i flash. Im on vacation anyways.

I waited till the end of my vacation. And it ended yesterday And still no factory image
When I had the nexus s, I didn't wait even when I was on vacation. Used the hotels computer to flash a boot loader and radio as well as the ICS ROM. Essentially its really whether the wait is bugging you.

There's no difference in ota vs full google image the end result is the same.

OK. Second try:
What is better: update Ubuntu to next build or clean Ubuntu install? Devs recommend installing from scratch
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
Yes, Devs do recommend using from scratch - but that doesn't change anything. The image you'd be downloading IS THE SOURCE CODE FROM GOOGLE. It would actually be the exact same thing, as they said.
That being said, I tried waiting as well - my wait was over yesterday, however I couldn't remove ClockWorkMod to actually do the OTA install and ended up using the Google Source build anyway.

I believe they recommend that mainly because of any modifications you may have made while on the previous version. if you want it badly just apply the ota and then factory reset your device. it will be the same experience as using the factory images.
Please somebody update the OTA (NO factory images) for the TAKJU Galaxy Nexus, Yakju has received recently! Thanks in advance!
Questions goes in the Q&A, read the rules sticky.

if you have an unlocked bootloader you can flash the stock images via fastboot. don't flash all together. Flash the bootloader then radio finally the image(make sure you remove the userdata.img from the image.zip). this is exactly what I did and I now have 4.3 and didn't lose a single bit of my app data.

There is a [Q] tag, so it goes there.
And regarding OTAs, just wait for it, nothing major..

You're seriously asking this? I didn't know we had google employees in xda. Why not just download the flash able image from the Google developers website and save time from making a post that's useless. Also someone can't make an OTA. Only google can.

Can I do this from the phone only? I have no access to a usb cable or a computer, and I need to update completely from the phone.
Is that possible?

Yeah, I wait and I wait and I wait. =) That's why I asked about this method.
But also with the OTA, there is a chance that is will not work to flash since there might be some stuff I have done to the /system.
That was the case the for me with the 4.2.2 update, and I needed to use the Google Factory Image, and reset my internal memory and all that (I didn'n know about methods to NOT reset the internal memory then).
Strange there are no flashable .zip's that are complete stock with only some kind of root added. Just stock, that should work to update to next version, like 5.0, with OTA then. Or is there?
EDIT: I found this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016452
Can someone please tell me if there was some new bootloader or radio or something like that, that I need to update more then using pure stock - odexed - UNTOUCHED?

I am sure Google is preparing an OTA from 5.x to 6.0 and will have it out shortly. Just because they haven't dropped an OTA for it doesn't mean that they aren't going to release it for us, the factory image already exists so it's only a matter of time, patience is a virtue, especially with Google.
You absolutely can sideload the ROM. You'll want to download it from Google here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en onto your computer and unzip it.
Download the latest version of the ROM then open Settings, hit About, and tap Build Number seven times until it says that You're a developer or something similar. Once it says that, press Back, open Development Settings, turn on USB Debugging and then plug the tablet into your computer. Run flash-all.bat within the folder you unzipped and if everything goes well, your tablet should end up in fastboot with the images flashing.
i've installed it myself when it came out and got the OTA update this week.
Not in rush as others has mentioned that 6.0 is somewhat buggy and lags on nexus 7....

I already have the 6.0 stock firmware on my Nexus, and I get the OTA, choose to install it, but it boots into TWRP and doesn't install? How can I flash the 6.0 update?
Thanks,
^You have to be totally stock to take ota's. Including recovery.
If you didn't modify any system files just flash the stock recovery.img from the version you're on and the ota will work.
But at that point why not just flash the newest boot and system.img and be done with it?

That's what I thought. Where do I get the incremental updates to flash? Or do I have to flash the entire firmware again? Data Loss?

You can download the official images from google and extract them. The sequence should be flashing the boot and radio, then reboot your bootloader, then flash the rest .img files and if you dont want your data to be wiped just dont flash the cache.img and userdata.img . You can find a proper guide just googling it.
