I would assume that OTAs that involve a radio update would bounce between Verizon and Google. Which of the two pushes it out to everyone is kind of up in the air. Wouldn't it be Google since it's on their server already?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Googleclients is a mirror for nearly all android devices out there, carrier locked, and not.

Also, radios will be included in nearly all otas per Google, for both GSM and CDMA.

Might be helpful to post the new su.zip and insecure boot image (in case there is anyone out there that likes to root via adb).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akanatrix:
Safe to assume that this 4.04 is the official one that will get pushed out eventually? I would hate to flash it and have to wipe cause they end up pushing something else.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
No way to know. That it is on the googleclients server..there is a very good chance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luckylui:
Looking at the build.prop within the system its saying that it has a actual release key and not a test key... so sounds like this is legit.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
test keys are reserved for eng builds. Those are deodexed, full builds, include debugging tools, and never otas.

The key's name or type does not mean it is official.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luckylui:
The 4.0.2 build reads the same thing as the OTA does I checked it before all this came up...

Can anyone inform me of how to install this on a completely stock phone. I used to root and all so I know how to use adb. Anyyyway, is this a simple reboot into Odin and install? If not what steps or thread should I be in?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Do yourself a favor and give Odin Mode a wide berth.

From completely stock 4.0.2:

1. Unlock it, and reboot.

2. Go back to bootloader.

3. fastboot boot newboot.img (from here http://www.box.com/s/xf6bz8f1j004bk0zc78a)

4. adb remount

5. adb push updatename.zip /cache

6. adb reboot recovery

7. Install from cache, choose updatename.zip and flash it.

-------If you want root--------------------

8. Once back up, adb reboot bootloader

9. fastboot flash boot 404boot.img (http://www.box.com/s/dh5b2vjg13qm2uodfysk)

10. fastboot reboot-bootloader

11. fastboot flash recovery clockworkrecoveryimagename.img

12. fastboot reboot

13. Once back up flash superuser package. (http://www.box.com/s/jvcf196j7x8f8vrc9cyt)

14. Done and done.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patalo:
Tha m you very much! But one question, this gives me 4.0.4 with root correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
If you follow those directions, yes.

Edit: that I need to correct.

edit edit: and did
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patalo:
What is the non root method my good sir?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
The method I posted is the only way to do it afaik. You must be unlocked, and you must gain temp root to push it to cache.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patalo:
Sounds good. Thank you again! I'll just unroot if possible afterwards?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
The methods described here should work (substituting the appropriate LTE files where necessary of course). However, you need one of the following three: unlocked bootloader, root, custom recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Sure. Or just stop where I typed a divider if you don't want root.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
You should add that to the first post. It's so clear and concise :).

Also, what's wrong with Odin Mode? I'm new to samsung/nexus phones coming from HTC, so am still trying to learn. Is there a better way to restore a phone to a stock image other than Odin?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
This thread is meant for update URLs though, not how to flash them ;) Otherwise I would have to do a different set of instructions for every ota we discover.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thereddog:
I downloaded the zip and attempted to flash with CWM, but I get an Error 7, Install aborted message...

I'm on the stock 4.0.2 ROM, all I have done is root the phone using the GNex Toolkit v4.0 a couple weeks ago. A little push in the right direction would be great
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
What was the actual error?

Error 7 is pretty vague.

If you get a patch check error, you are not stock.

Thats why toolkits suck. You don't know what they are doing or how.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thereddog:
OK then, so what do I do then? Can I update to 4.0.4 now? At all? OTA?

What is an alternative method to root other than a toolkit?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Manually root. There are instructions around here somewhere.

You need to go back to 4.0.2 stock to apply it. There are instructions how to install (once stock) a few posts back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thereddog:
Would you mind finding and posting a link for me? It isn't that I'm lazy, I just want to make sure I do this the right way.

And I assume I can back up everything with Titanium and restore it to stock 4.0.2? Including SMS and stock launcher?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patt2k:

Look here for root instructions. Should work for any version

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1483836
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt30:
Here's the simplest way I know how to do it without changing any/many files from stock.

Go to stock 4.0.2, no root, unlocked bootloader.

Place the update file in /sdcard on your Gnex.

Place the latest CWMrecovery image in your platform-tools folder on your PC.

Reboot using adb command "adb reboot bootloader." *This commands reboots your phone.*

In the bootloader use fastboot command "fastboot boot [CWMrecoveryimage].img." *This command temporarily boots CWM for one session.*

[OPTIONAL: make a nandriod backup before you update]

From CWM find the update file on your sdcard and flash it.

Once you have root on 4.0.4 you can reload your apps and sms via titanium backup.

---------- Post added at 10:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 AM ----------

Here's another way you can do it that only requires adb and the right files.

Find an insecure boot.img for 4.0.2.

Place the insecure boot.img and the update (remaned "update.zip") in your platform-tools folder on your PC.

Turn on your phone and use a command prompt to enter the following commands:

"adb reboot bootloader" *phone should reboot into bootloader*

"fastboot boot insecurebootimg.img" *phone will reboot and everything will look normal*

"adb root" *adb should return a response telling you you have root*

"adb remount" *this command allows you to modify files you otherwise don't have acess to*

"adb push update.zip /cache" *moves the update file into the right folder*

"adb reboot recovery" *boots you into the stock recovery*

The recovery will show you a picture of an android on its back with an exclamation point over it. When you see this image, press the power button and vol+ to access the menu.

Scroll to the option that says apply update from cache and select it.

Bam, you have 4.0.4 and you've also learned something about adb and fastboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thereddog:
Hypothetical question: What if 4.0.4 prompts me tomorrow about an OTA update? Safe to install it? Would I even be able to?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt30:
It won't. Yes. No.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superchunkwii:
I know it all varies, but typically, how long from the leak/release of these types of updates is it before the OTA starts to be delivered?

days, weeks, more than a month?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ATnTdude:
Last time there was an early OTA leak on a Nexus was the FRF50 2.2 leak for the Nexus One. It was roughly 6 weeks from the appearance of FRF50 to the final FRF83, with FRF72 leaking in between.

I doubt it will be 6 weeks for this. It's an incremental update. I figure Early March, based on other rumors. Either 4.0.4 will be CDMA GN only, or there will be another increment to 4.0.5, which has been announced for branded GSM models.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
4.0.5 has been announced by only one carrier I have seen.

I wouldn't say that's concrete.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
2nd page? No...

Bump.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skynet11:
... and again, since there are so many people who don't know how to flash the new radios, bump...

Terminators run on Android :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ATnTdude:
Like I said, it's all rumors. I was really stating the possibilities. Based on what we know now, there are 4 likely possibilities:

1) They push out IMM30B as-is. With the release keys on this one, it's possible.

2) They push out another iteration as 4.0.4 (something like IMM50). I find this more likely, as multiple rumors have pointed to March as the next OTA for LTE GN. Plenty of time for more fixes.

3) They push out another iteration as 4.0.5. I personally feel this is most likely, since 4.0.5 is the only version here that's been announced by anyone remotely official. I wouldn't bet on it, though.

4) They push out a version which is not 4.0.4 or 4.0.5. I think this is less likely than 2) or 3), but could happen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
This is the beauty of Nexus devices. We are seeing more updates already than some phones see in their entire lifespan ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superchunkwii:
Thank you for the info. I have no current issues and really just wanted to skip the whole flashing scene. I think I'll just wait it out, glad to see a lot of good enhancements though.

Hey guys, just thought id post this to see if anyone else has experienced the same issue, no matter how long I leave my dock charging for, the max charge % it gets to is 97, the tablet part of my prime still goes to 100, and generally i leave them both in together charging. Anyone else had this? Anyone found a solution to this

Also! my dock sometimes randomly (rarely) locks and doesn't work until i unplug it and replug it in (I only decided to add this because it happened while i was typing the above text (sorry if its been brought up before >.<)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ryanbell:
Same issue

Same thing happens to me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] deacan82:
The same seemed to happen to me a few days ago being that it charges to only 98% and stops charging the dock. I decided to use much of my tablets battery before leaving in the dock to recharge from it's power cells.

after that my dock was left with around 65%+ at which I plugged it back in the wall socket to charge and it charged back up to 100%. Don't know what happen, but maybe some sort of battery charging behavior?

Anyways just thought I shared. Now its back to charging to 100% again.

CHeers.

So I've been patiently waiting for income tax money to get a new tablet, been reading a lot between the tf101 and the tf201 and I want a tablet that will have good development, I know the prime is too new and it has his fair share of issues including wifi and GPS, I can care less about GPS but I need wifi so as long as I can get a decent wifi signal so I can seat in my couch or my bed and pickup my wifi I'll be good, now the light bleeding from what the videos I've seen on YouTube wouldn't be a big problem but I don't know if I would be able to deal with dead pixels, now to my question , is there anyone that upgraded to the prime from the transformer and do you feel like it was a mayor upgrade or do you think the original is still a mayor contender? Is a $100 difference so is not that much of a difference in price, but from reading how Asus might have released it prematurely makes me wonder if I should go for the older more stable with more development transformer tf101.

The Tegra 2 in the original is ancient. Considering how fast the mobile market moves, it is like buying a Pentium 4 for a new desktop. The Tegra 3 is three times as fast between the CPU/GPU- ready for 2012.

With that said, with a Prime you go in expecting to deal with a dead GPS and weak wifi range. It is the trade-off for a modern amount of power.

My only personal issue was slower wifi in my bedroom (the edge of my network), but I love my Prime so much my solution was just to upgrade my router (Cisco e4200, best 2.4GHz consumer router on the market). Now it works great.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] roloracer:
Thanks for the reply! I'm probably getting it and if those are my only issues(wifi/GPS) then everything will be great, just hope the development here will grow soon and increase the choices of roms and stuff.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spidey01:
I'd say the OG TF101 has much faster WiFi speed as range from the access point increases, the Prime is thinner and lighter, and can be purchased with higher storage capacity.

If WiFi speed is the most important get a OG. If GPS is the most important get neither IMHO but def' not the Prime.

I would personally say getting a Tegra 2 now, would be like getting a Core 2 Duo instead of an Core i[357]. Now the Wayne and Grey based Tegra chips expected later this year....those will make a Tegra 2 look like a Pentium 4 versus an i7, if wikipedia is to be believed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] roloracer:
I see what your saying, and I don't care about GPS, I just want to make sure I get a somewhat solid tablet, as long as I can get wifi from like 5 feet from my router in my living room I won't complain, and I guess the other issues with light bleed and dead pixels is all luck, and there's rooting and recovery here for it, wish there was some custom honeycomb roms to play with like the revolver or krakd roms for the tf101, hopefully we'll see some development picking up for the prime soon, gonna see about swinging by best buy and testing one out while I wait for my tax money so I can just go buy the one I decide to go for when the money comes.

While some say GPS is no big deal, look at the amount of whining about it. I want it for alot of reasons. It automatically updates weather to the location, etc.

I purchased mine Less than two weeks ago from Best Buy. I have NO GPS at all. mine is a BCOKAS134452 serial number. My wifi isnt that bad actualy but i feel it is lacking when compared to my rooted nook color. I will try to open mine tonight and make one mod to see if it improves, if not, it goes back tomorrow.

Im not going to exchange it. Im going to return it receive my FULL refund. Then Re-purchase another unit so i have ANOTHER 2 weeks, incase there are issues.

While some may not find this right. I have noticed some people have major issues 3 or 4 weeks after purchase. That is what worries me. Just my .02$

IMHO light bleed and dead pixels are a quality control and shipping issue. It's also the most common ground for trouble between both tablets.

One thing that alarmed me... while my TF101 fresh out of Microcenter was great: my Prime off eBay had a batch of wtfixels on the far left side and I was afraid that I may have to RMA. By the time I completed the initial setup stuff with my Google Account it went away and the pixels are fine in use.

I do consider the TF101 a better quality tablet but really, unless you do have hair pulling issues with wifi/gps, Prime is fine. I also think the sites more or less calling the Prime like the top or the most powerful tablet of the year are also correct enough. It just doesn't have a deluded cult preaching it's perfection.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] roloracer:
Thanks for your input, I had originally thought about the tf101 because of how good is said to be for the price, but I changed my mind thanks to all of you guys and also from browsing thru the positive thread, I'm definitely getting the prime, can't wait for the income tax money to get here, it should be about another week. :D

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slayvus:
GPS is NOT a feature of the Transformer Prime. Anyone who brings it up anymore are doing so because it was a feature, but they bring it up because it was then removed. You don't buy a tablet for gps, you buy a gps. The GPS module and antenna are crap in the Prime. You would crap get signal and accuracy even if it did work properly.

For example, you don't buy a PS3 anymore for the ability to install Linux or PS2 backwards compatibility. Why? They removed those features.

Thee major problem of the weak wifi is the fact that one of the antennas is not actually connected properly in some of the old and new Primes. This is a reason to not buy the Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] roloracer:
That's why I said in OP that I could care less about GPS working, but wifi is a big thing for me.

My money came into my account yesterday, not sure but I might pick one up from best buy, play with it and decide what to do before the 14 day return period ends.
