I´m completely lost... just received my galaxy nexus. With any of these methods will I lose the warranty of the phone? Which one should I use? My gnex is clean without any modifications, no root, no cwm, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CraigP17:
whats the overall view here? worth updating from 4.0.1 or just waiting for OTA?

any negatives updating this way?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
I didn't realize that you had flashed JB. Have you posted your experience with it anywhere yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yeah, I flashed it the day after the OTA update was released. It went very smoothly. I'll post a how to and my thoughts in this thread when I have a minute, and I'll link to it here.

It seems significantly faster, and a better experience overall.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Great, I'm already following that thread. I'm interested to hear what broke and the workarounds. Glad to hear its working out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amdkalban:
Thanks for the guide. I managed to get the URL for yakjuzs and updated the phone. I have one question: how did you search for the URL on Google's developers site? Because I tried to search for it, but couldn't find the result. Thanks for the support.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
There is no way to search for the URL. The only way we get these is by someone receiving the OTA update, and then looking through the log file for the name.

Update for yakjuzs (Hong Kong/Taiwan)

The earlier 737637482ddd.update.zip was for

yakjuzs IMM76K.I9250ZSLD1 FROM ICL53F.I9250ZSKL2

Couple days ago (the day after JB announced:rolleyes:), they released a newer one:

yakjuzs IMM76K.I9250ZSLE2 FROM ICL53F.I9250ZSKL2

Can I update to this build after updating to 4.0.4? Or I should be on 4.0.2?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Are you asking about Jelly Bean? You cannot "update" any build except for takju IMM30D) to Jelly Bean at this point. If you want Jelly Bean, you need to flash a full ROM (as per the instructions here), not an update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Did you flash this?

What radio version does it contain? Could you dump it please? (Use the commands below):

adb shell

su

dd bs=256 count=49153 if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/radio of=/sdcard/radio.img

exit

exit

adb pull /sdcard/radio.img
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amdkalban:
I meant updating to the new build for yakjuzs...because I updated to previous build
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
If I am not mistaken, both updates are the same, with the only difference being the radio included in the package. Once we get a dump of the new radio, you can flash it if you want.

But to answer you question, no. If you've applied the first update, then you cannot apply the second one. Those updates only work on an yakjuzs ICL53F build.

Edit: are you on yakju or yakjuzs?

I'm comparing their updater-script, both the target sha1sums of their radios are 8b7209e8c3a6d73254ad92069aabe693beffd6bd, which is the same as radio-maguro-i9250xxla02.img

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amdkalban:
after using yakjuzs for few days, I found out there were no nfc menu. and the SD card or virtual SD card is getting too hot, also the CPU consumes 40% of battery and the battery lasts on for 6-7 hours. So I decided to flash to yakju. I used Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit V1.4 It downloads the full factory image from google and flash the image. So far so good. I'll test the phone for few days and see how it is. its on 4.0.4 build IMM76I

Update: the yakju 4.0.4 rom is stable, I noticed that the CPU set at 700Mhz. where yakjuzs was 1200Mhz

I guess the 1200Mhz settings caused the over heat, not sure though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
how did you determine that the virtual sd card was getting too hot since it is, well, virtual <?>
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amdkalban:
when you open the battery cover you can see an SD card slot, but fully covered. I apologize if I made an error. I assumed its an SD card.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
No problem, you must be referring to the sim card.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amdkalban:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
If you have root, open up the log files in /cache. The name should be in there. This works after install but may work before.

Otherwise download alogcat from the market and look through that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hallerlaller:
thanks, found it with logcat, edited in the previous post ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gix:
Hm, it seems that for yakjuxw they (i.e. Google / Samsung) didn't update the bootloader. They kept KK15 from 4.0.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hallerlaller:
a noob question: is the IMM76K better as the IMM76I, or more stable?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Med1a:
is that means there is no data connection drops same as in IMM76I ? cause my phone was yakjuxw and I updated it manually to yakju 4.0.4 IMM76I .. and I really hate it because of data connection jam/drops..

anyone have any idea about this ??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Don't think there is much of a difference. It may have some minor changes only.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
Some gallery changes, if I remember correctly. That's it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I guess they wanted to make sure that they were selling devices with 4.0.4!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gix:
Unlocked and updated bootloader. But who done this job? Samsung with a new batch of phones or Media Markt?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gix:
The bootloader does nothing to the data connection. It is just for booting the phone in several modes. There were some signal problems with build IMM76D for yakju but this was promptly fixed in IMM76I and later builds.

I think your problems are related to the radio version. Better check this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1405345

Any you haven't changed anything else? Did you install Busybox? If so, did you install it in /system/bin? That might cause issues.

I haven't seen that error before, so I won't be of much help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dark_sith:
Correct, that works, thx.

However, the initial remark is correct: The update would have to be in /cache for which you need root acc. Thus method 4 does not work, the recovery does not access /sdcard.

That's what I thought (and knew), but hey, who am I to disagree with a Recognized Developer... :)

I will make the appropriate change. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qdhd99:
efrant, thanks for your help, greatly appreciated it. Yes I did install Busybox (have not checked where it is installed). Tried a quick Busybox uninstall, still the same error.

Just checked it is under system/bin. It is still there after uninstall
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dark_sith:
Right. Maybe imnuts had a different version. Mine is the original HSPA version from the play store, running at 4.0.4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hectortse:
Did you edit the zip (renaming the recovery files)? If yes, try to use the downloaded zip as it is, without renaming those files.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Unfortunately I don't have any ideas for you. I know others were having problems when they used Stericson's busybox, but I can't remember where I saw that. Probably in this thread or my other big thread.

P.S.: Always install busybox in /system/xbin. That way you can easily get rid of it if you want to.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dark_sith:
tried both ways, does not change anything. The recovery tool simply wont access /sdcard.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Did you flash the takju or yakju image?

If you flashed the yakju image, that update file will not work -- it is for takju only.

If you've flash the takju image, then either you, or one of your root apps, have modified the build.prop file. You need to get a hold of the takju IMM76I build.prop file an restore it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Probably a problem.

What procedure did you follow?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luffyp:
It's a shame that, before this, yakju seemed to be the first to get the latest update from Google. Many people converted their phone for this very reason. Now it looks like takju has more priority... I know there's not much difference between yakju and takju but takju is supposed to be for people living in the USA (it comes with phones bought from Play Store) but I'm not. Maybe I should convert my phone to takju and stick with it, or maybe I should be more patient and stick with the yakju path. Oh well what a dilemma lol.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
The android with the red triangle IS the stock recovery.

You need to rename this file: /system/etc/install-recovery.sh for cwm to stick.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carloscibrian4:

I am confused with step 2. and 3. After extract the .zip files I was deleted restore folder. Then on you step 3 you said copy the file. Which file? After extract 5c416e9cf57f.signed-takju-JRO03C-from-IMM76I.5c416e9c.zip there are Four Folder (META-INF, patch, recovery, system) and two files (radio.img.p and bootloader.img) and I was deleted recovery folder. and I am confused on your step 3. So which files that needed to copy to my device?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rashidi_zin:
I tried to follow this method

However I'm lost. For 2) does it mean that I have to unzip it and delete the recovery folder and for 3) which file should I copy to /sdcard?

I tried deleting recovery through Ark (I'm on Kubuntu) and pushed the downloaded zip to /sdcard/. Unfortunately I could not flash it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pacothebandit:
Method 2 - Stock recovery installed, Unlocked bootloader

1) Download the correct update for your build on to your computer;

2) Copy the file to /sdcard on your device;

3) Download CWM from here and place it on your computer in the same directory as your fastboot binary. For CDMA/LTE devices, use this version;

4) Rename the CWM image to cwm.img

5) Reboot into fastboot mode;

6) Open a command prompt in the same directory;

7) Type fastboot devices to make sure your device is recognized;

8) Type fastboot boot cwm.img

9) Select "install zip from sdcard";

10) Select "choose zip from sdcard";

11) Select the update the you just copied to your device;

12) Wait until it completes. Reboot. Done.

Question on this regards to Macs. This method would work on my PC, but I am not near that atm. and When I type

MacBook-Pro-2011:~ Justin$ /Users/Justin/Desktop/android-sdk-macosx/platform-tools/fastboot boot cwm.img

//I get this

cannot load 'cwm.img'

The image is in the same folder as the fastboot binary. It just simply will not load. Can anyone shed some light as to why? *bangs head against wall*

Two things are different for MacOS:

1) you need the Mac specific fast boot file (I have it linked in the "flash" link in my signature).
