Hi efrant,

Sorry for the late reply. Way too busy... eating dinner while reading up on your post!

My phone is Takju, and JRO03C. How do I figure out which update to download? I see JRN84D, IMM76I, and IMM30D.

I downloaded the JRN84D one just to try extracting the boot anyway, but I'm not sure how? I located the boot.img.p (I assume that's it) under patch. Perhaps you could clarify this as well? I also don't exactly remember how to fastboot but for that I think I can google up a guide... D:

Thanks in advance; I really wish I could spend the time to learn this stuff properly. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
No, you misunderstood. Go to Google's developer page here and get either the yakju or takju 4.1.2 images. Then flash the boot and system images contained within, using fastboot (as per link #2 in my signature).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biggersilhouette:
Unable to update

I've tried every file that states IMM76K to JRO03C on my Galaxy Nexus (YAKJU) and they all fail telling me there is something wrong with the file. I would greatly appreciate any assistance from anybody that can tell me how to upgrade. My phone is rooted and I am using ClockworkMod with ROM Manager Premium.

Please please help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
Yakju didn't have a IMM76K build. You should have IMM76I as the latest for Yakju ics
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Paul22000:
Ok. This turned out to be A LOT more complicated than the above.

Apparently my ApplicationsProvider.apk was corrupt. This prevents flashing the zip.

To fix it, requires reflashing system and boot.

HOWEVER, I can't flash system because I had an old bootloader.

Jeez!! What a pain in the ass!! All *JUST* to get rid of the annoying OTA pop-up!

Anyway, I wrote down what I did. This sure as heck better help someone else out there, haha!

Install OTA Rootkeeper -> Protect Root (see link above in quoted post)

Download appropriate stock ROM https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#yakjujzo54k and extract boot.img, system.img, and bootloader-maguro-primelc03.img (if you are NOT on lc03 already that is. See your version on fastboot screen)

adb devices

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot devices

fastboot flash boot boot.img

sending 'boot' (4368 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.404s]

writing 'boot'...

OKAY [ 37.094s]

Reboot to recovery

Wipe cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache

Flash ROM finally! (The modified ROM via Revoked's instructions that is, so CWM doesn't get overwritten.) Reboot into Android

Then restore root via OTA Rootkeeper because system was overwritten. Of course, Rootkeeper didn't work for me. GRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven't done this yet but: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26328017&postcount=123

FFS last time I ever root a Nexus device just to get JB 3 days early haha!

Maybe incorporate something like it into the OP for other people having issues, efrant? Hope that helps someone else out there!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I'm pretty sure I stated in my flashing thread (linked in method 5) that JB requires the LA03 or newer (and LC03 is included in the JRO03C update anyway). If not, I will certainly add it.

As for OTA RootKeeper, it obviously would not have worked, as you flashed the system image, which overwrites everything stored in /system, including the root files.

As for why the updated didn't work for you: I have a feeling that you were probably running a deodexed ROM. A stock ROM that has been deodexed is no longer a stock ROM.

And flashing an update does not require root. As long as you have an unlocked bootloader, you can do pretty much anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jeffu:
Thank you efrant!

I'm now on 4.1.2, and rooted still. :)

I have to figure out if I can still use some mods I had before... and I seem to have broken Gmail but I will try to figure that one out myself. I had installed the leaked 4.1.2 Gmail before the official one came out, and after updating it doesn't open anymore. :P (

But yes, thank you so much for your patience in helping me. My enjoyment in using my gnex remains high thanks to this forum and people like you. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
To fix that, flash the 4.1.2 system image using fastboot and re-root.

Android 4.2 for TAKJU

hey guys here is the link for Android 4.2 for Takju devices:

http://android.clients.google.com/p....signed-takju-JOP40C-from-JZO54K.e587de13.zip

Download it from Google's servers while it lasts. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chrone:
are those two just a preview build 4.2?

i noticed a pattern for the last couple of official releases always ended up 3 build numbers which were 4.0.x and 4.1.x, while the link is only 4.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hooman64:
I don't think it's an Alpha build, those xs in 4.0.x or 4.1.x are usually a bug fix or a small change added to a major build. there might be a 4.2.x coming out in a few months, but as for now, this is the official build that people've been getting through OTAs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Unlawful:
Unlikely, however later down the track there are sure to be more OTAs coming out. The preview build that was sent to reviewers had many issues and lacked features.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artkrz:
Here we go http://android.clients.google.com/p....signed-takju-JOP40C-from-JZO54K.e587de13.zip
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Thanks, first post updated for both!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qdhd99:
Thank you, artkrz, efrant! 4.2 updated.

Anyone with rooted CWM Recovery installed, may update this way. You need two extra files: Fix-Recovery.zip (so you do not have to go through deleting the boot script very time to keep your CWM recovery) and JB-SuperSU file (or your choice Superuser flash). You also need to install Voodo OTA RootKeeper (not sure if it is needed, to be safe, install it anyway)

Method 1 - CWM 5.5.0.2 or 5.5.0.4 (i.e., NON-touch) recovery installed - Modified

Install Voodo OTA RootKeeper

Download Fix-Recovery.zip and upload it to phone (keep it for future updates)

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

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

4) Reboot CWM into recovery mode;

5) Select "install zip from sdcard";

6) Select "choose zip from sdcard";

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

8) Wait until it completes.

9) Flash Fix-Recovery.zip

10) Re-flash JB-SuperSU.zip

11) reboot phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
CWM 6.x automatically fixes the OTA install-recovery.sh and root. It checks before you reboot, and asks if you want it to correct the issues to keep custom recovery and root. Very cool!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hboyer:
any news on yakju update?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] batkinson001:
for some reason I nolonger seem to have my fastboot stuff on my computer anymore, any one know if I can flash 4.2 ota using galaxy nexus toolkit? if not, where can I get the files needed to actually run fastboot and update my phone manually (using method 2) as I am not receiving the OTA on my Canadian nexus running 4.1.2 build jzo54k?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HinotoriBR:
In the Toolkit installation folder you have fastboot and adb binaries, only that they have -toolkit added to their names (i.e.: fastboot-toolkit.exe). You can use those just fine, and use them to execute all adb/fastboot commands.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Moystard:
We are all waiting patiently :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I'd appreciate keeping any toolkit talk out of this thread please. Thanks.

The instructions on how to flash an update are in the first post of this thread. The instructions on how to flash the full ROM are found in this thread. Depending on what you want to do, please post in the appropriate thread. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DevilStrider:
Anyone have this running on a Sprint GN ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
The update for Sprint is not out yet. (And chances are it won't be out for a few weeks.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] antonymjoy:
Last thing I flashed was bigxie's 4.1.2 (odexed version). I should be able to flash the OTA package with no issues now right?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
And the countdown to the Verizon "mysid" update begins. I'm starting the pool. Right now, Vegas has the over/under set at January 13. Place your bets now! I'm personally taking the "over" on that, because (as evidenced by the Xoom), once a device ceases to be a "priority" device for Verizon, their testers basically get to it when they get to it. I'll guarantee you the Galaxy Nexus is no longer a priority device for them. Not with the upcoming DNA, plus the Razr M, Razr HD, Razr Maxx HD, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
no. it will not work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I'm not sure what changes bigxie made, but if he didn't change the system files, you'll be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fabrizziop:
Hey, can I flash JOP40C OTA file to my currently Takju JZO54K nexus using fastboot boot cwm.img (5.5.0.2 maguro), and then flash the OTA zip in the internal phone memory?. That's just to avoid flashing the CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yes you can.

(By the way, EVEN if you flash CWM, once the update installs, it replaces it with the stock recovery...)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wtr_dhd:
Hello efrant. I have the yakju 4.1.2 build for now, can I update to takju 4.2 again without losing any settings ? I don't really care about the Google Wallet though, it's obviously just to have 4.2 running already :). Or do you recommend to wait until the yakju 4.2 version is available ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yes you can switch to takju 4.2 without losing anythin.

Download the takju 4.2 factory image from here, extract all the images from all the archives, and flash all of them (using fastboot) EXCEPT the userdata.img and recovery.img
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] antonymjoy:
Ok thank you, afaik it is stock with root and busybox. I'll try it out and report back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] C-4Nati:
Ok, please do not flame me as I've been reading and reading and cannot come up with a precise answer as I'd rather be safe than sorry. Is there an available 4.2 zip for the Verizon nexus atm?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spaceman860:
No and there won't be for awhile

Sent from my BAKED Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] C-4Nati:
Why is that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
because verizon is still on 4.1.1 and needs to approve 4.1.2 then 4.2 (or they might just wait til they approve 4.2 and roll it out)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] C-4Nati:
Well I'm on 4.1.2 now through custom ROM. Essentially what I mean is will there be a custom 4.2 ROM for TORO soon do you think? I guess I worded it wrong because I didn't just mean stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Most likely, yes. But you need to ask in your custom ROM thread. This thread is specifically for OTA updates, which only work for stock ROMs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bioyuki:
Why does flashing recovery.img wipe user data? Any downside to not flashing recovery.img?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
It just replaces your custom recovery if you have one. Feel free to flash it. The only one that wipes your data is userdata.img
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bioyuki:
Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] novafluxx:
I didn't have the correct drivers to use adb to sideload the update, but I ran Windows Update while the phone was connected and I got the driver that way as an optional update. Then I had to use device manager, choose the correct driver manually, and it worked! I was able to sideload the update on my 100% stock phone with stock recovery and everything. Excellent!

Thanks to every one of you that contributes and helps get the URL's and instructions for us!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Royal2000H:
Yes, very soon. AOSP was released today as well, so ROM developers are already baking.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] engljeff:
Efrant, will this method work when going to 4.2 as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] engljeff:
Awesome, thx. Out of curiosity, is there a point in which this method not work where perhaps the other .img files need to be flashed as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
If the bootloader changes it may not work, but the last few updates have all used the LC03 bootloader.

As well, if it's a major update (like the 4.1 was) You may have some apps that run on boot that are not compatible, so you will have to either boot into safe mode and uninstall them or wipe data or use adb to uninstall them. (As an example, LBE privacy guard worked fine in 4.0.x, but caused boot loops in 4.1.x
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChristoforoI:
if i use adb sideload will i still receive ota updates in the future.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pafaisal:
Hi

I have updated my Galaxy Nexus to 4.2 with this zip file. But I couldn't find any New wallpaper in 4.2. Anyone can confirm...?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ghettojack:
I just downloaded the factory 4.2 image from google and flashed it with adb.. i was too impatient to wait for the OTA ahhaha:cyclops:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
Yes
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mayurjango:
Would this work when upgrading from Yakju 4.1.2 only or any other older version (on yakju) as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
yes it would.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
But in all of those cases, for switching I'd recommend using TiBU to backup your userapps+data, format data+cache in recovery, flash to takju, then restore your userapps+data so you'd only have to set up your system apps again. Doing that after I switched to takju from yakju fixed an ongoing wlan_rx_wake lock issue I'd had beginning sometime while I was using yakju.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fredro:
How come no one has the new OTA url for yakju? Seems lots of ppl already got it through OTA
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
Because no one has taken the exact url yet from their cache folders and shared it here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] engljeff:
I am going to feel really stupid if there is a simple answer for this, but it appears as though Developer Options on the System menu has gone away on 4.2. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a setting I need to enable? I cannot see it under any of the other menu options.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Definitely not a stupid question. Google hid that menu. To access it, go to Setting->About phone and tap 7 times on the Build number. Then the developer options will appear back in their original spot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Haha I figured that out last night after some Googling myself. If you tap the Android version number the same way then long press the pic to bring up the easter egg, it also adds the easter egg to your Daydreams list as "BeanFlinger" under Display. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Cool. Did not know that!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilsonlam97:
Just flash it yourself. I flashed the official yakjux 4.02 build from Google.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
There is no update to 4.0.2 for yakjuux. Reread the first post.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
First of all, there is no yakjux build. Secondly, these are updates, not full ROMs. Flashing these will update your current build, without wiping. Flashing a full ROM will wipe.

thanks a lot :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Thanks for posting guys! I will update the first post tonight or tomorrow.

The methods are all the same - doesn't matter what you use, as you end up in the same state as before.

As for your second question, look at your build.prop file. It will tell you in there what version you have.

As for your third question, there is no difference in the hardware for different GSM Galaxy Nexus'. These updates are for the appropriate build you are running, i.e., yakju, yakjuux, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Correct.

I haven't heard of anyone on yakjuux that has received the update to ICL53F yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hmanxx:
A bit confuse on the the 1st thread ,method -4 which quoting without bootloader unlock..there is no way to do manual update even on complete stock signed ROM legit upgrade.

Google locked out manual updating ?

Nexus S and Nexus One could use stock recovery to flash the legit/correct update manually.

Any specific reason that Galaxy Nexus behaved this manner ?

If this info is accurate..that is to say..must root and at least unlock bootloader once, and should be doing it as early as possible otherwise unlocking bootloader at later stage will wipe all data is very painful thing to do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
That is correct. You cannot install an update from /sdcard with a stock recovery. It needs to be in /cache but you can't put it there without root...

I can't remember if it was the same with the Nexus One or Nexus S, but I thought it was.

Three things:

1) In your post, you say that I indicated that you need root --- not true. You do not need root. You only need either an unlocked bootloader OR root OR an custom recovery.

2) This is why I always recommend that people unlock their bootloaders as the very first step after taking a Nexus device out of the box. Even before booting Android. And LEAVE IT UNLOCKED. It does not negatively affect anything, and you can always re-lock it if you ever need to return your device.

3) You could also try backing up your data using this (which is newly available in ICS) method if your bootloader is locked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GrandMstrBud:
How do I know which one I am on? I just bought one from Expansys and got the OTA to 4.0.2 and it says ICL53F. Is there an update to 4.0.3?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
If your build number says ICL53F, then you are on yakju.

4.0.3 has not be released yet for the Galaxy Nexus. It is available at AOSP however, so you can build your own ROM if you want.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rylake:
You can be on ICL53F and be on a yakjuXX variant though, right? You can check the build.prop or download GN update checker from the market to be sure.

efrant, when the next update comes do you have to flash your radio back to XXKK6 in order for it to install correctly? I am running basically the same set up as you right now (UGKL1 radio, on 4.0.2). Also does flashing the radio back and forth hurt anything?

Thanks, you have been a big help in clearing this stuff up for many people!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yes. But at the moment, there is no ICL53F for yakjuux, only for yakju and a few of the non-yakju builds.

If you want it to flash automatically, then yes, you need to flash back XXKK6 before the update will install.

Nothing at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GrandMstrBud:
Thanks, I wasn't sure it came with 4.0.1 and it updated to 4.0.2 and the Galaxy Nexus toolkit had an option for 4.0.3 so that's what made me wonder. I still don't know the differences between yakju and the non-yakju. I'll probably wait until the Cyanogenmod is stable because I love their ROM's so I'll still with stock now. Any good kernals for the stock 4.0.2?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
The "JRO03C" part is what's known as the "Android build code". You'll definitely want to familiarize yourself with them. Follow the "takju" link in my sig to get to Google's Factory Images page where you can see them all and what version numbers they correspond to. Also worth mentioning that Google pulled the JRO03C images once they put up JZO54K but you can still see what the version number was if you look at mysid or any of the foreign sojus (Nexus S variant) links which are still at a JRO03x build.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rgarzamarcos:
I'm still a little lost

I'm running yakjuxw maguro 4.1.1 JRO03C

there is no yakjuxw or JRO03C on the factory images page from google (i understand that because these phones get updates from samsung and not google) if i want to flash yakju without loosing my info i understand that i need to eliminate the userdata.img from the factory image, I just don't know which image to use and if i do this do i have to sign the file just like an apk or not
