I'm curious: what are you missing in 4.0.3 that is not in 4.0.2? I can understand if we were behind on something that was noticeable, then, yes, I would agree with you. But if it is a minor update that, most likely, doesn't affect anything material, then why is it such a big deal that we don't have 4.0.3? Is it a matter of principle? Or bragging rights? Just asking. Because if there is no difference in apparent performance/features and the only difference is a 0.0.1 increase in version number, does it really matter?

And anyways, the beauty of having a Nexus, is you can compile the latest version yourself and use that. If you really want 4.0.3, why don't you just compile it? It is not difficult. Or ask someone to do it for you.

As for your random reboots, the only reason I asked you that question, is that not everyone has them, which leads me to believe that it is either a hardware problem, or something that you installed/tweaked (which is also probably why you are getting the "standard" answer you referred to).

I don't have random reboots, so...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stah333:
YEs , for example Battery drain issue and reception issue and few glitches in system. I bought galaxy nexus to be sure i ll get new updates ASAP and jsut 10 minutes ago i read that my galaxy nexus which ibought from the shop is the yahjuxw build .... FFS this is riddiculous .... If i would liek samsung to update my phone i would buy galaxy S III when it comes. the only reason i bought nexus was updates by google themselfes not any other company.... Im mad.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
1) I have no battery drain issues, reception issues, and or glitches in the system, so it must be something that you did... Otherwise, everyone would have the same issue, which is obviously not the case.

2) How do you know the yakjuxw build is not updated by Google? No one knows that for sure. All we know is that all updates are pushed from Google's servers (i.e., android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/...), and that yakju gets updated before the other builds, as it is a generic build, while the otherwise have some sort of localization to them.

3) If it bothers you having a non-yakju build, this thread shows you how to easily switch to yakju, no?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] icemasta31:
Quick question, I'm already rooted and unlocked my bootloader, looking at the tutorial do I just need to flash the image files (ignoring the optional items)? Will my root still be intact or do I need unlock the bootloader and root again?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
If your bootloader is already unlocked, then just flash the images (with or without the optional ones). You will lose root, but just flash su.zip in CWM, and your root is back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] icemasta31:
OK thanks. So just need to do these steps:

"9) Flash the ICL53F system partition: fastboot flash system system.img

10) Flash the ICL53F data partition: fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

11) Flash the ICL53F boot partition: fastboot flash boot boot.img

13) Erase the cache partition: fastboot erase cache

15) Reboot: fastboot reboot

16) Done!"

No need to do the first part because my bootloader is already unlocked, right?

and then go into CWM and flash su.zip?

Sorry for the noobish questions, just don't want to mess it up. Thanks again for the help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
What you posted is correct. No need to do anything else. (Assuming you already have CWM installed of course, otherwise, you would have to flash that as well.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] icemasta31:
I already flashed CWM, I assume I can still install ROM Manager from Market after I flash the ICL53F and boot into CWM? Unless I have to go through the steps to root with Wugz RoolToolKit to reinstall CWM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
no need. If you have cwm you'll still have it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] icemasta31:
Perfect. Thanks again for the help.

Looks like I got hit with the Market not allowing downloading of apps. Factory Resetting the phone now...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] horoscope55:
Hi I just flashed my Nexus from yakjuux to the xxkk and I'm getting many errors from the market and can't install any app. any help please? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Try upgrading the old Android Market to the new Play Store. The APK is floating around somewhere here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] horoscope55:
sorry for my ignorance but how to do that?

---------- Post added at 09:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 AM ----------

found it on the internet, but how to install/push it in simple english

---------- Post added at 09:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 AM ----------

found it but don't know how to do it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Download the new Play Store from here, and save it to your device. Then use a file explorer, navigate to where you save it, and click on it. It will then install.

P.S. You need to have USB debugging check on in settings before you do this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] horoscope55:
don't have any file explorer ... no market access and no app to do that comes with the stock
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Ok, look. This is not really that difficult. Go get a file explorer off the internet, like this.

However, on second thought, before you try doing the above, you can try booting your device into fastboot mode, connect it to your computer and do this just to be sure there was nothing wrong when you flashed the new radio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] horoscope55:
manyyyyy thanks it is working
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] icemasta31:
Factory Reset also works to fix the Market issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
For what it's worth I have been on yakjuzs for more than a month without even thinking of a need to change. I thought I could keep my GNex untouched. I guess once a flasher always a flasher. Hehehe.Great work OP and it even seems my phone is snappier than when I first bought it. I was thinking maybe because it's newly flashed but then again my phone was brand new before as well and I could say that this is better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] server181:
please help me

sorry guys im a total newbie at this.

i researched for 6 hours, downloaded everything imaginable, and i still cant falsh the yakju build onto my nexus.

i downloaded the original image from google, which is called "yakju-itl41f-factory-192e5c67.tar" yakju-itl41f-factory-192e5c67 no extension whatsoever.

everybody is saying that it supposed to contain the img file for the bootloader and all that, but i have nothing but this one file that i cant open with any program, and it is almost 195MB in size...

what am i doing wrong???

This is what i supposed to do, but i just keep on getting an error message saying cannot load file..

"after extracting it, the only file i get is this:

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekj10.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxkk1.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot -w update image-yakju-itl41f.zip"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flashvc:
The tar should be openend in winrar to extract its contents.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Use 7zip to extract archives, not WinRAR or WinZIP. Then follow the steps in the first post of this thread, not what you had posted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] offenberg:
Are your bootloader unlocked? did you have root?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rubiconjp:
Ok great to hear. I think we all should get it within 1-2 weeks. The wait just builds our character. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] divinewisdom:
anyone else notice any differences in the andriod Market? for some reason I can't find YouTube on yakju, while my HTC works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rubiconjp:
YouTube is one of the Google apps already installed with ICS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] divinewisdom:
yea I noticed. But for comparison purpose, I was looking at the top free app in the video section, YouTube isnt on there. Where as the HTC had YouTube, Plus if you search for Youtube, it wont show up on the market in Nexus.

there seems to be a difference in the market.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kwurky:
I flashed yakju over my yakjuxw. Everything working fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NexusDro:
Just curious, I thought the OTA is rolling out based on IMEI. So how does flashing from yakjuxw to yakju change how the phone receives the update?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JLishere:
The OTA from AOSP (Google) has a list of "required". I'm not 100% sure of my answer, but the package apparently checks for bootloader | build | baseband combination.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nxdu:
Flashed yakju can OTA upgrade as normal right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] offenberg:
no one confirmed this yet. I would like to know too.

I will wait about 1 week to see if the OTA hits me. If not, I will update manually or go back to i9250XWKK9.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] snidrx:
anyone experienced after flashing it and rebooted, the GN seems to be stuck at the boot animation? I've done it twice already and still i get stuck on the boot animation after the reboot from flashing the new update.. need help guys..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] myxcon:
Well, for me it worked just as described on the first page. Setting up the phone now and slowing waiting to see if I receive the OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
so i started to do this update via ODIN (BTW its my first time using ODIN!!!) and got the drivers installed and everything and as ODIN startedd flashing or betteryet was at the point "setup connection" it was just like hanging at that point then i just broke it up and restarted my phone. any ideas???

EDIT: is the a way just to flash the firmware so i wont loose my CMW and KERNEL??? it dosnt mattter if with fastboot or CMW!?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MatthewPL:
My friend change from yakyuxw to yakyu (via samsung.de site) and yesteday he got 4.0.2 OTA update.

EDIT: Now I will try change to yakyu and I will write when update come.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eddie_gordo:
I'll post here when I get the update also, but it is good to know that someone that used this method got OTA update for 4.0.2 :)

Yes you can.

Edit: NO! Method in 2nd post uses odin. Do not flash files from google via Odin.

Hello, I have the same version, how do I flash to yakyu version?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MatthewPL:
Go to samsung.de webpage and download 4.0.1 ITL41F. But (propably) you must download usb driver from another source. For my computer 1.4.6 (I believe that this is version of drivers on samsung.de) was to old and it cannot find Nexus. But I fould 1.4.8 and everything is OK now (but still I don't have 4.0.2).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rubiconjp:
1.4.6 was fine for me on my windows 7 laptop. Just had to reboot laptop after installation of driver package.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TooLegit7:
using the android system info app, my phone shows "mysid" in the product space. runnin 4.0.2 unlocked bootloader and rooted. what does this mean
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doublea500:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hmanxx:
Just curious..I have used the exploit method to root my Galaxy Nexus 4.0.2 , ICL53F.I9250XWKL2 ,yakyuxw variant. without bootloader unlocked

Can I just use CWM to flash "image-yakju-icl53f.zip" over my current ROM

My current rom use the same radio :I9250XXKK6 and bootloader should be the same as the yakyu variant..as such ,no need to flash it again..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
No, you cannot. You have a few options:

Note that you will lose all your system settings regardless, and I have not tried the second or third method personally, as I have had no need to.

1) Back up your /sdcard to somewhere off of your device, unlock your bootloader, and use the steps in the first post.

OR

2) Extract the images from the image-yakju-icl53f.zip to your computer in the same directory as your adb.exe, boot into CWM, wipe, plug your device into your computer, open a ADB root shell and type in the following commands and reboot after:

dd if=system.img of=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/system

dd if=boot.img of=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/boot

OR

3) Repackage the zip into a CWM flashable format and flash it through CWM. (If you don't know how to do this, I can do it for you, but I don't have time today.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hmanxx:
Option- 2 doesn't include user_data.img ?

Sorry for my ignorant ,i didnt check the conntents of the image-yakju-icl53f.zip file and thought that it is already in CWM /normal OTA package update script format..

Look too complicated..using #1 method is more direct and less chance to have script error..

Yes..please help to pacakge CWM package for people to apply easily.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anaerobics:
sorry but how do i back up my data?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
The easiest way is to root using this, install CWM, and do a nandroid backup, then unlock your bootloader, and restore your backup.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anaerobics:
Thanks. noob question again but does any of this void my warranty? :O and i have no clue what CWM, nandroid backup or a bootloader is..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Anything you do, you can always undo, so no one will know the difference.

If you have no clue what CWM, nandroid or bootloader are, I suggest you do a bit more reading before attempting to flash things. It will save you heartache, and you will learn something.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flashvc:
I believe unlocking the boot loader wipes everything so nandroid is not enough, you would also need to copy the nandroid off the device.

Personally I used the official adb backup command to backup everything directly to my pc, then do the boot loader unlock and use adb restore to restore the backup.

Adb is part of the Android sdk which you can download from developer.android.com and you will need to enable usb debugging in the developer options of the settings menu on your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Correct. Not only that, but you need to copy the contents of /sdcard off your device as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] csirac:
Hey efrant,

I followed your guide to the last letter a few months ago when i got my GN. I'm running 4.0.2 now. What steps from your original guide should i take to flash to 4.0.4? I was a bit apprehensive with the other thread. I figured I could just use the steps from this guide? Or maybe not. Please advise the noob :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iGoogleNexus:
=] without this guide I wouldn't be on 4.0.4 ... ^_^ sank yu!

- Google Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Is your bootloader unlocked and/or do you have CWM installed? If so, follow either Method 1 or 2 from here to update to 4.0.4 (which will not wipe your data), or follow this to flash a fresh 4.0.4 build (which will erase everything again).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iGoogleNexus:
After I switched to this Gnex Version today ... I rooted the phone ... I renamed the 4.0.4 to update.zip using Astro file manager .. moved it to root of SD .. opened Rom Manager installed rom ... did NOT Wipe Data... and it installed... opened SU apk and updated the app.. now I'm Good ^_^ 4.0.4

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phonejunkie30:
Oh noooo

okay so i followed the instructions and it now shows yakju instead of yakjuwx however some thing changed bootloader is now primej10 this changed it did have 15 there. i am on 4.0.1. and no update as of yet been about 20 mins since the flash.... i also noticed umts instead of hsdpa 9 which is what i had previously so why no update i went back in time now i was at least before at 4.0.2 anyone got any advice as to why the bootloader changed? the only thing that seemed to be correct now is the yakju is there instead of yakjuwx
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You obviously did not follow the directions in the first post.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phonejunkie30:
I did i downloaded the drivers and the firware from the link they provided i did the power down and clicked I9250XX_ITL41F_FL.exe then it opened up and udpated the phone to yakju but it also changed my bootloader and it changed my baseband i now have I9250XXKK1 it wasn't before the update i don't understand how you say i did not follow the directions when it gave to sets either use the window or the firmware link which it takes you the samsung site which states for noobs which i am so how did i follow step by step and my phone update to yakju but it changed the bootloader to a different prime and changed the baseband is this normal can anyone answer those questions for me thanks..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iGoogleNexus:
I didn't have to download the drivers he posted... I made sure first if my phone was recognized .. and it was... downloaded the yakju image and I was on my way...

- Google Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You did NOT follow the instructions in the FIRST post. You followed the instruction in the second post...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iGoogleNexus:
I'm glad I followed the first post... it was STEP by STEP xD ...

- Google Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phonejunkie30:
wow so the second post is not valid i thought that was for non experienced users like myself the first one i don't even know how to get a type box up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Anytime you try to take shortcuts it will bite you in the butt.

The second post is valid. The problem with it, is that it flashes an older version of yakju, and an older bootloader and an older radio. You will eventually get the OTA to 4.0.2, and eventually to 4.0.4.

It doesn't take much knowledge or reading to follow my post here. But it certainly makes you understand what is going on. Follow the instruction there, and you will be on 4.0.4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eddie_gordo:
OP updated to 4.0.4 images. Thanks to efrant :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bryant_16:
I can't install the drivers at all. I don't see Android 1.0 under my device manager and USB not recognized when on fastboot..

Any ideas guys?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Brask123:
I followed some really good guide for setting the drivers up, Will try to find that one again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dominiaz:
Hi,

After all steps from 1 post my phone get`s locked :(

My gsm card doesn`t seem to work anymore with GN!

After fastboot reboot i get: SIM NETWORK UNLOCK PIN

I bought a new GN without simlock yesterday.

Please help
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
So you bought a device locked to a carrier for use on a different carrier? How did you get your SIM to work in it in the first place? You need to do the same thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dominiaz:
I bought a GN simlock free. I just put my sim card and everything works fine.

I did OTA from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2 -> everything still was fine.

After upgrade to 4.0.4 my GN gets locked by simlock :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
But you didn't update to 4.0.4. You flash a new ROM (a full 4.0.4 ROM in this case). If a device was originally locked to a carrier, flashing a new ROM will re-lock it. Always. You need to contact the store/carrier you got it from and request the SIM unlock code.

Otherwise, you could try using this app. However, if you bought it SIM unlocked, I would recommend you get the code... you already paid for it anyway.

EDIT: According to this post, the SIM lock disappeared when he flashed the XXLA2 radio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dominiaz:
Ehhh... thats bad. I need to wait till monday because they are closed today.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jfuggy:
So I just got a Galaxy Nexus and I used the second method on the original post. I am now at 4.0.1 and it should eventually allow me to upgrade to 4.0.4 correct? Or should I just go back and use the first method to get me to 4.0.4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kennyc1:
Flashed to 4.0.4, yakju, and the latest radio all at once.. thanks OP!

I just followed the instruction and it was smooth sailing!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fountainhead931:
I too have flashed from Yakjuzs Hong Kong to Yakju using the manual method with fastboot & adb. Couldn't have been easier!

On note though, my name and my "lock screen" message were still on the phone, I thought that it wiped the partition clean? I'm now on 4.04 and see no really big diff, I wanted to be on Yakju but had no real good excuse till 4.04 update.

Every flash step gave the "OK" afterwards so I'm assuming having stuff left on there is normal.

I did get the "welcome to google" message upon boot up first time.

Thanks a million to efrant for his tutorial

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21113773&postcount=195

Command prompt rules!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You will eventually get an update to 4.0.2, and then an update to 4.0.4. Can't give you an ETA though. If you would have used the method in the first post, you would have been on 4.0.4 immediately...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hwaiting:
I apologize for the silly question. My phone has an unlocked bootloader and I have CWM installed. I've been switching back and forth between AOKP and stock ROM (which is still 4.0.1). I want to install Vanilla 4.0.4 using the instructions provided and go from yakjuux to yakju.

I understand that flashing this will relock the bootloader. Does this also replace CWM recovery to the regular stock recovery? Essentially, would this bring back my phone to pretty much stock again?

Also Efrant, I see you're on Rogers...have you noticed any differences between the radio in this ROM and say the radio from the yakjuux ROM?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iGoogleNexus:
He can still do it ... but he needs to wipe the phone first and then push via adb... I tried the first time and it said there were too many links... soooo wiped everything as if it were new and then opened up command prompt and got it going

- Google Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
If you follow the instructions in the first post, it will NOT relock your bootloader.

If you don't flash the stock recovery image, then you will still have CWM.

I've noticed no difference in radios.

---------- Post added at 07:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 PM ----------

No offence, but what are you talking about?? What is he going to push via adb? If he wants 4.0.4 immediately, all he has to do is follow the steps in the first post. Nothing else.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iGoogleNexus:
He followed the second post rather then your step by step instructions right?

- Google Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iGoogleNexus:
Wait never mind its a different person.. my apologies

- Google Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yes, that is why he is on 4.0.1. But what does that have to do with pushing stuff with ADB??

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iGoogleNexus:
Quick question

If he used the second posts guide and he's on 4.0.1

Can he do a wipe and then flash the yukju using your step by step via fastboot?

- Google Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
If he followed the second post, all he has to do is follow the first post. No need for any extra steps. Of course he could wipe, but it would make no difference, as the steps in the first post wipe anyway...
