Damn.. everyone is getting JB ota for yakju..

Even I have yakju ..

But no updates for me ..

P.s I know that updates are NOT pushed for all devices together.

Just that I am impatient:-/

I am clearing Google services framework. Still nothing ;(

Anything else I can do to get ota?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dannycorker:
OK downloaded update from here:

http://android.clients.google.com/p....signed-yakju-JRO03C-from-IMM76I.f946a412.zip

Removed recovery, moved zip to phone and flashed with CWM. Unfortunately this happened:

Unpacking new recovery...

Symlinks and permissions...

set_perm: some changes failed

E:Error in /sdcard/Download/f946a4120eb1.signed-yakju-JRO03C-from-IMM76I.f946a412.zip

And now (unsurprisingly) I can't boot. No idea what has caused this error, any help?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thegios:
here we go again...

lots of ppl, like myself, r having probls when removing the recovery folder from the OTA zip

what worked 4 me:

1. download OTA zip

2. DO NOT remove recovery

3. reboot in recovery mode

4. flash OTA zip with CWM

5. right after flash root fix zip (otherwise u'll loose root, and u'll need root)

6. reboot phone

7. isntall root explorer

8. rename /system/etc/install-recovery.sh IN THE PHONE

9. reboot in recovery mode

10. flash cwm with fastboot

11. reboot phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexusguy74:
I got the same error not sue why.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dannycorker:
OK thank you I will try it - the only problem is getting the OTA zip on my phone. Stuck in recovery and mounting USB won't work so can't just copy over. Will I have to wait until I can use adb later?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexusguy74:
So rename system to /system/etc/install-recovery.sh just like how you wrote it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] manfreed:
Hi guys! If I'm not supposed to post stuff here please remove or move this info to a proper location :)

So...

I wanted to upgrade my phone to 4.1.1 (from 4.1), but no OTA yet: I'm not a patient man, so I looked for solutions. I found theese lenghty, complicated methods with root, unlock and/or exploits. I don't know why, but I was able to do it very quickly without any hacking. I mean I know why I was able, I don't know why this method is not already everywhere? :)

You need: Latest ADB, the official OTA package for your phone and current OS, and an USB cable

Steps:

a) Learn how to use ADB, install it

b) Reboot phone into recovery, for example with the command: adb reboot recovery

c) In recovery look for this menu entry: "apply update from adb"

d) on your computer run this command: adb sideload <filename> where filename is the zip file you want to install.

and. that was it, now I have 4.1.1, my boot loader is locked, everyone is happy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rodrigo Ark:
So... I have to delete the recovery folder from the update zip file in order to keep the CWM recovery in my phone before doing the update manually?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tmxda:
Another status 7 error. Both the original zip and removing "recovery" from the zip give the same error.

What version of CWM should we use?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexusguy74:
Same here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aek_of:
Actually not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thegios:
yes :-( u have to push the zip to the phone with adb

---------- Post added at 12:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 PM ----------

well if u don't do it then upon 1st reboot u'll go back to stock recovery, unless u rename /system/etc/install-recovery.sh IN THE PHONE with root explorer and flash back cwm with fastboot

---------- Post added at 12:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 PM ----------

make sure original zip has been downloaded correctly

try 2 or 3 times: I've heard of ppl that managed after 3 times getting the error

r u upgrading from the correct version?

Thing is, the device does not boot anymore (stuck in google's logo with padlock) and does nothing. He hasn't got the drivers in his pc, so he cannot even see the device as an external disc....any ideas?

thanks..

p.s: a few people have this same problem...some of them without deleting the recovery folder. What is going on.?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Use the NON-touch version that I linked to in the first post...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvv_hyd:
I just got this exact same problem. Luckily, I did nandroid before doing this. So, I was able to go into the fastboot, then to recovery and restore the device. Not sure what to do if your buddy don't have nandroid backup. Experts can prolly chime in

Also - Did anyone else got this problem and fixed it?

---------- Post added at 09:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 AM ----------

I'm using NON-Touch CWM.. still got the same error..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nikos_s3:
unfortunately he had not a nandroid backup....and he used CWM 5.5.0.2 NON-touch

HHmmm...I think I will wait a liitle more to clear this out....though I have drivers and nandroid, I don't want to end up with a device not booting at all...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Ok, I added a note in the first post. For those of you who couldn't get it to flash with the deleted recovery folder, JUST RE-FLASH THE ORIGINAL. No need to restore a nandroid or anything if your device doesn't boot. Just boot back into CWM and flash the original. Your CWM will get overwriten, but just re-flash it later (after you deleted/renamed /system/etc/install-recovery.sh). Too easy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nikos_s3:
efrant, how is he supposed to push the original zip to his device? The pc does not see it at all....not to mention that some people had the same result even with the original, including the recovery folder...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
First of all, I think everyone needs to slow down a bit and do some reading. You will not screw up your device doing anything here... so breathe easy.

Second, if you still have CWM, reboot into CWM, open a command prompt in your directory with adb.exe and push the file to /sdcard. For example, say the name of the file is "update.zip", the command would be: adb push update.zip /sdcard/

If you don't have CWM, reboot your phone into fastboot mode, and type: fastboot flash recovery cwm.img

I'm a little confused. I deleted the recovery file as instructed. My history was a got the phone at the price drop. I rooted, unlocked bootloader, CWM and auto-recovery removed. I installed bixbie's JB from I/O (7/3) and then AOKP M6 (7/8). At the update yesterday, I restored my backup from 4.0.4 and tried the correct download with the recovery folder deleted. What am I doing wrong? If more info is needed, I can be more specific on my history as I did have a few kinks in the process, but I think my backups should have overwritten them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nikos_s3:
ok, I say again that this is about a friend's device...not mine..

And I ask: He formatted his pc recently and there are no drivers for the GN... will he be able to push the file using adb.exe?

Those who have a working version please post your MD5

Whenever I get the status 7 error, I'm able to reboot from CWM. Not sure why the others are "soft bricked"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
From what we have seen here so far, it seems that something changed in this update, and it fails if you delete the recovery folder. It did not fail on previous updates. So, just reflash the unmodified update and it will work.

The driver needs to be installed...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nikos_s3:
thanks efrant...so it looks like he has to pay me a visit...

another quick question for me this time.:

If I flash the update without deleting the recovery folder, stock recovery will overwrite the CWM...so, when the update finishes, will I have the chance to choose another ''install zip from sd card'' for the su.zip or the stock recovery won't let me..??

thanks mate..appreciated..;)

@efrant:

-- maybe already answered somewhere?!

anybody managed to update yakju JRO03C from IMM76I without a data wipe?

if I remember correctly a different kernel installed is an issue? correct?

thanks for your help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvv_hyd:
Hope someone answers this.. I need this info as well. If I can do SU as well, then I can just instlal the CWM from ROM Manager
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amircesc4:
from yakjuxw -> flashed to yakju -> still on 4.0.4 :(

I'm from Malaysia

sad!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yes, you can flash su.zip right after you flash the update BEFORE rebooting.

These update files will NOT wipe. And yes, you need the stock kernel that comes with the build you are updating from. Example: if you are updating from yakju IMM76I, you need to have the yakju IMM76I kernel installed.

anybody managed to update yakju JRO03C from IMM76I *period*

OP should update the instructions. I followed it and removed the recovery folder too and ended with the same error.

Restored my backup and found your post, and now I'm on 4.1.1 :good: :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hboyer:
i meant updating

without data wipe

- i.e. keeping settings and data!!

i am quite sure that a lot of people managed to update *period*
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nkedge:
Just as a data point, I had no issues with flashing the takju upgrade from JRN84D to JRO03C. Like qdhd99 I had originally installed busybox in /system/bin by mistake with Stericson's app. I uninstalled and it returned an error that it didn't uninstall cleanly, but I tried the upgrade anyway and it went straight through. So it qdhd99, maybe your issue isn't due to busybox?

Was waiting for OTA but got impatient this morning!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yes, that is what I meant as well. These updates do NOT wipe data/settings/apps/etc.

Yes, I think the issue is that the latest OTA update file will not work if you remove the recovery folder. Older ones did, but something changed in this one. I made a note in the first post.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amdkalban:
Should I clear dalvik cache after the update?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oren_p:
for all who have the error in recovery mode "error 7"

error number 7 somthing like that, it's because you trying to flash the takju.zip

you need the yakju.zip

it help to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qdhd99:
Not sure about that - after Busybox uninstall, the script was still left in the system/bin and unremovable.

It is a great learning experience - flashed the update but lost CWM recovery. Root Explorer (can't get it to work) did not help remove install-recovery.sh, so ended up with a fixing script founded from this forum. Now I am happy with JB4.1.1 and CWM recovery back.

Again, anyone has issues with Root Explorer, may try this handy script

I'm starting to get scared that I have bricked my phone, I can't get the adb working and can therefore not send the update.zip to my sdcard. What should I do??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dannycorker:
Are you in the recovery or bootloader? I couldn't get adb to recognise the phone in bootloader, but going into recovery it worked fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You have not bricked your phone. You cannot brick your phone by doing anything posted here.

Do you have your driver set up properly for your phone?

Are you booted in CWM?

Did you copy the file to your device by opening a command prompt in the same folder on your PC as your adb.exe file and typing: adb push name-of-file.zip /sdcard/

If you answered no to any of these questions, you need to go back and redo them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
fastboot.exe works when booted into the bootloader, adb.exe works when booted into the recovery (or booted normally).

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Poke_N_PDA:
I used the tool to do all my rooting, unlocking, and recovery installing, so I didn't learn the specifics of the process. Is the SU.zip something that will install CWM and clear the auto-install of the old recovery all in one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nikos_s3:
happened before...push it in /sdcard/another folder and you will find it then, after choosing install zip from sd card...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Try typing the following and tell me what you see after the last command:

adb shell

cd /sdcard

ls

I don't know, there are so many floating around. Some just flash the root files, so get rid of the stock-recovery-auto-install, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Poke_N_PDA:
ok, thanks. I'll just look into this more this evening and learn what I need. I'm guessing I just need to grab something from the CWM thread.

As for why this doesn't work now when it did before, I think the hints can be found in the CWM log.

set_perm: chown of /system/etc/install-recovery.sh to 0 0 failed: No such file or directory

set_perm: chmod of /system/etc/install-recovery.sh to 544 failed: No such file or directory

Consequently, it appears that the script attempted to change permissions on the auto-recovery files in the system either before or after the copy. Obviously, the copy will fail, but that doesn't appear to be a problem. When it trys to change permissions of these files that don't exist it blows up. I'm guessing in the past it never attempted to change permissions. Maybe in JB they decided to change these permissions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rodrigo Ark:
@efrant

So, should i update manually WITHOUT delete the recovery folder but after that I'll lose the CWM right? So I just could install it again without problems right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yeah, it looks like you are right.

As for your issue, all you have to do is flash the unmodified zip, then, before rebooting, flash the attachment from this post. That will get you root.

Then all you have to do is go and rename/delete the /system/etc/install-recovery.sh file, and you are done!

I think it was mentioned before but if your device is encrypted you need to Factory reset from the settings menu and then you'll be able to upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
If your device is encrypted but you have root, all you have to do is move the file to /cache, and boot the stock recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hmanxx:
For novice users, you can keep stock recovery,dont delete away or modifying the recovery install script..yet still able to boot into CWM.

Do not delete or modify stock recovery script and matter with the update.zip contents

Do the following ( I have been using below method for long without deleting/rename the install-recovery script)

1) Install CWM on phone , run CWM on phone, execute one time of "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery " then click "reboot into Recovery", with this , the phone will boot into CWM recovery one time. Once reboot, phone stock recovery will take back control..doesnt matter..each time you need to use CWM recovery, just execute the Flashing command from your phone. If you are keen on Stock ROM only..CWM sticky or not is not important..

above steps have the advantage of manual update without PC help..download OTA zip direct to the phone,execute and done. User should keep CWM_SuperSu package in phone,anytime after OTA update,just re-apply the SuperSu package(just after OTA update,without rebooting) to reinstate root status

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
That means that you are using a radio other than XXLA2. You need to flash that radio first for the OTA to install. Then you can flash whatever radio you want.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Is installing this OTA on a 4.0.4 yakju roughly the same as installing a factory image? I.e. will the factory image contain something system-related that this OTA doesn't contain?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Updating yakju IMM76I to yakju JRO03C using the OTA update is identical to flashing the JRO03C factory image when it comes out EXCEPT that the OTA update places these additional two files on your system:

/system/etc/install-recovery.sh

/system/recovery-from-boot.p

which serve no purpose other than to re-flash the stock recovery on every boot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Can those be removed from the update.zip or will the flash fail if they're not in the zip?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
At this point, it looks like it fails, but no harm in trying. If it does fail, just re-flash the unmodified zip, and delete those two files afterwards when you are booted in Android, using something like Root Explorer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
For those of you that used the YAKJU update, please confirm your radio and bootloader version following the update. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
That would break the signature of the ZIP file, which means you might be able to still flash it in CWM (assuming you remove references to those files in the flash script as well), but you most definitely would not be able to flash it in stock recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Joplisan:
This worked for me! No more Status 7 from IMM761 to JRO03C. Thank you a lot!!! :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aygriffith:
Where is the "unmodified" version posted. Every zip I've downloaded from this thread has those two files removed and is failing with the Error 7.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Joplisan:
Worked perfectly with "radio-maguro-i9250xxla2" and "recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-maguro". I got (Status 7) with XXKK6 radio so I had to change to XXLA2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
The unmodified file HAS the two files in it. If you are getting an error, it is not related to that.

What is the exact error you are getting?

What I meant to day was: "For those on YAKJU who have updated to JRO03C from IMM76I, please tell what what radio you are on following the update. Thanks."
