down to 55% after 1d5h including 7h flight mode over night. moderate usage during the week because I am at work :-)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nasimdejai:
I noticed the battery keeps dropping at a faster rate after the update and charging the phone seem to take longer than usual.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
This has been mentioned multiple times:

When you update your build OTA, or using the OTA update file, that update places two files on your system that re-flash the stock recovery ("the android bot lying with the gut open" IS the stock recovery) on EVERY reboot.

In order for CWM to stick, you have to delete the two files and then re-flash CWM again.

The two files are:

/system/recovery-from-boot.p

/system/etc/install-recovery.sh

The two files are NOT present on a stock ROM, only on a stock ROM that has undergone an update via OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ankitk23:
Sorry abt that.. i was not able to find the solution to my problem... thts y posted the issue...

I knw m being a kinda noob here but how do i delete those two files.. i cant delete them with the help of file manager... pleaae help..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thorgoth:
hmmmmm...

having stock recovery could i manually push the OTA .zip ?

i do can get into stock recovery i have an option " apply update from cache"

i do choose the file 46cf01d3e2ea.signed-yakju-IMM76I-from-IMM76D.46cf01d3.zip and then i get

" --install /cache...

finding update package...

opening update package...

verifying update package...

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

installation aborted"

i do remember that when i had the ota notification i did download the data .zip charged the phone and aplied the update after it was fully charged....

since i am not rooted i can't have access to /cache right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
The easiest way would be to flash CWM using fastboot, boot directly into CWM WITHOUT booting into the ROM, root by flashing this, then reboot into your ROM, and use a file manager with root access to remove the files.

Or, you could do it using adb:

This assumes that you have adb and fastboot and cwm.img all in the same directory on your PC:

1) Flash CWM using fastboot: fastboot flash recovery cwm.img

2) Reboot into CWM WITHOUT booting into the ROM: fastboot reboot-bootloader and then select recovery;

3) Type the following commands:

adb shell

mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system

rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p

rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

mount -o remount,ro -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system

exit

4) Reboot: fastboot reboot

Right, you need root to access /cache.

As well, you need to make sure that the recovery image from IMM76D is on your device, not an older one.

But the easiest way to apply the update is with CWM...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stolen.11:
This minor update not only solves your network problem...in my case after updating my battery got boosted and performs well...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cyco1978:
Yeah Idk sense this update can some one check the I'm 100% stock locked. But the stock weather/news app won't auto refresh have keep trying it OK Wi-Fi and 3G
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fieser-Kardinal:
Signal loss in Standby is not fixed for me. Just pressed Power button to wake up the phone and saw no bars and the X ... after a few seconds the bars came back. :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
Has anyone else's wifi signal gone to hell after this update? I went from full strength to 2 bars now... Never a problem before the update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bandit_knight:
My device started to switch between 3G and HSDPA back and forth. At the same time it started to drain battery as hell. The battery meter application that I use shows like twice as much power (mA) is being used in idle mode compared to the previous update. Also signal reception seems to be much worse than before. I am thinking about flashing it back to IMM76D that I had no problems with.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cyco1978:
This will be my last Android phone. You buy the Nexus for the support, seems like every update F#$ks the phone up! I feel sorry for the Verizon Nexus lol!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] timgt:
I can confirm this IMM76I update does NOT fix the signal drops. Today I was in a basement of of hospital so I lost all signal, when I got back outside I checked and yup NO SIGNAL. I even waited 30 mins or so to see if the phone would ever pick up the signal and it never happened. I had to put it in airplane mode and then back out of airplane mode for it to re-establish the connection. NEAT!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carlosaeg28:
Two occasions at a loss. signal, the first with stock kernel and kernel franco #143 today IMM76I :(

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimsis:
Still Losing Signal for me

Received the OTA update but to IMM76I but only working a little better.

Phone now drops signal during first attempt to call someone, maybe a minute or two into the call. If I try an call again it either works fine or tells me I need to exit Airplane mode first. :confused:

I didn't really get the device for its 'phone' ability but it sure would be nice if it worked.

On a brighter note it was nice to see the OTA update come through after the conversion from YAKJUXW to YAKJU
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
you guys know that if you are rooted you can fix this yourself? just turn smartflex off or use 700mhz as minimum clock speed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CJSnet:
Any fix for none rooted? When I start navigation with no signal in the parking lot underground, I can't get any signal or data once outside unless I enable then disable airplane mode. Flipping pathetic Google!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
that fix is for phone disconnection when the screen is off. Sounds like you have a different problem. Are you using a gsm GN? if so i would try a different radio but you need to be rooted and unlock your bootloader for that too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rodrigo Ark:
still wating for 4.0.4 (IMM76D) OTA

My GNex 4.0.2 YAKJU is still wating for his OTA... I'm going to wait until the weekend...if there's no OTA for me I'll do it manually... I'm sick of wating for the OTA....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
But the kernel is one of the only things inn the update and you aren't using it

Edit: never mind my bad I see you used both
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greeced:
Curious to know how many of you perform a factory reset after every update?

I never had the signal drop issue before this new update, as I performed a factory default when I first got 76D, but decided to let 76I ride a bit without performing one. BOOM, one signal issue.

Performed my usual factory reset again, and have never had a problem since. And I kept Signal Alert on my phone to see if I ever lose it... I never have

So I'm a strong believer on doing factory reset after every system update, regardless of platform.

The one time I didn't caused an issue. Now its all fixed and the battery seems to have a longer life too.

Sure its a pain in the arse to load up everything again, but hey... its worth it for the amount of times you actually perform an update, and zero after-update headaches.

This is my experience anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Does a normal factory reset only wipe data, or does it delete the entire userdata partition where the sd-card also is affected?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greeced:
Because this phone is one giant partition, it wipes everything... learned that the hard way...

So if you want to keep whats on your "SD Card" shift it over to your PC or cloud storage first.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
The bad thing is that that's gonna takes ages :p

I have almost maxed out the sd-card by having tons of data from awesome 3D games ^^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trickyrickxx:
quotation ilstky

If I perform a factory reset will I lose the latest update and have to reinstall it. Know it is probably a stupid question but feel like I have to ask lol. If I do have to do the update again will I have to do it manually or will they send me a message thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] basst85:
Does someone has the default Launcher2.apk (\system\app\Launcher2.apk) from the IMM76D for me?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bestguy:
got the ota today morning

hi all

got the IMM76I OTA update this morning (about 740k). Thought first it will be a new Radio version but nothing. Still XXLA2 and ics 4.0.4.

The Signal lost while sleep, seems gone, but the 3G/HSdPA Stability and Reception is more horrible then before. The Phone signal swanks +-30db .. goes from HSDPA to 3 G to GPRS with no DATA Flow. Battery draining included of course.

The Nexus One from my Wife, also on Vodafone Germany Network got full Signal ( -70db 15 ASU) on the same spot as my galaxy nexus lost everything.

I think i will wait some week on this and then send it back to amazon. Tired of loosing Network when my Phone is in the Pocket.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simmo3D:
Someone on another thread checked the update files and stated it doesn't require a specific radio image because it doesn't check that when installing. So either radio won't affect the phone from receiving the update. But if you want to play it safe, LA2 is the stock radio for 4.0.4
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simmo3D:
I have updated to IMM76I via flashing it and have not had this issue. If anything my radio is definately more stable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] icemasta31:
OK perfect, thanks for the info.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Abufinzio:
can i apply this update only with unlocked bootloader? or i really have to put the cwm?

i used only adb to install official image, can i do the same with this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Any and all instructions should be in here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iGoogleNexus:
I switched over to it

- Google Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Abufinzio:
no, there is a method that need cwm and i don't want to use it u_u

there must be a method to use only adb, unlocked bootloader and nothing else ç_ç
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iGoogleNexus:
=\ sooo I have root and all with the Voodoo Root Keeper after I OTA ... but when I try to flash something it doesn't let me lol ... I can install setcpu and allow permissions but as for flashing it doesn't allow lol

- Google Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
All you need to do is download the 708kb file and put in /cache then boot to stock recovery and flash it. No need for messing around or adb or cwm. Its simple, even I did it with out going wrong lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
You need to open OTA root keeper and restore root permission with the lovely nice big friendly button :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iGoogleNexus:
ē.ê what do u think I did...

- Google Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
Same here, I did It like six times. No dice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
As The Gingerbread Man already said, if you have the stock recovery installed, you need to get the file to the /cache directory. But how are you going to do that? You need root to access that folder. So, boot whatever insecure kernel you want (either an insecure recovery like CWM, or any insecure kernel for 4.0.4), and use adb to move the file over. Just because you boot CWM doesn't mean you are using it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Ah sorry I misread your original comment. So which android version you on which radio which recovery? All these things need to meet certain criteria set out by the update file, so there might be something you haven't got stock perhaps or modified kernel even, a whole range of things effects if yo can use the stock recovery to flash.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Snap so I just downloaded from the URL. Clearing the Google service framework made my 3g go weird, perhaps co-incidence I dunno. Seems better with the update aplied though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iGoogleNexus:
Well I switched to the yakju version .. after I did that I quickly rooted and backed up the rom so that when the next update came out I'll just flash this rom and update via OTA which I did... then i deleted the original and backed up this version ...then went into Voodoo OTA root keeper and was given root... but when it comes to flashing I get an error lol

All in short I'm completely stock...

4.0.4 (New Version)

Baseband- UGLC1

Washed out Boot Animation

Ect. Lol

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evangelion01:
Clearing the service framework data messed up the Play Store for me, meaning that I had to remove and then re-add my Google account, which in turn means that I have to now manually re-add a bunch of contact pictures so that they're at a decent resolution.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You are probably using an outdated su binary. Update it via the Superuser app if you can, otherwise, you will need to flash this in CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Abufinzio:
now i see

now, installed the update, rebooted, locked again the bootloader and finally wiped i will have the last android versione? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ankitk23:
Thank you efrant.. it was very cool of u to give a reply to the problem i had.. have it resolved now.. works like a charm..

Though the latter option u gave to remove those files did not work out for me... it just said.. error: device not found.. anyways have my problem solved. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ra990:
Not if you've already performed the update. Once the update has been installed if you reset you will already have the update installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greeced:
No, the latest update will remain.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
That is a driver error. You likely don't have the drivers set up properly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stesmo:
just manually flashed the update after i found out that it will only work with a secure boot image. (cmw took care of flashing that from a recovery). does anybody know if the boot image was changed in this update? is there already an insecure boot image available? or can you use the "old" insecure 4.0.4 boot image?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
As stated in this post, for you to install this update, you need:

1) the IMM76D stock kernel; and

2) all the original files in /system from the IMM76D system image.

Yes, the kernel was updated with the update. Not sure if the IMM76D boot image will work with IMM76I. Try it and see. If not, see if someone posted an insecure version in the dev section. Otherwise, the source should be out by now, so you should be able to compile one yourself (assuming you know how).

I guess it can't hurt to do a factory reset after every flash. I know with WM, that was pretty much required.

Personally, I have never done that on Android, and I have never had any signal issues.

Keep in what that does on Android devices: a factory reset wipes the entire userdata partition, which is where /data resides. It does nothing to the system partition.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stesmo:
[BOOT.IMG] Insecure boot.img for IMM76I (ICS 4.0.4)

okay, this is my first try in creating an insecure boot image, it works fine on my gnex and adb says it is running as root. i have not tried more until now. since i don't have enough posts i cannot create a thread in the dev section. but i wanted to share it anyway. maybe someone can post it for me? ;)

Updated when the update was released. Thought all was well but now every now and then the signal bug reappears. I'd say it's less frequent that before but it's still happening.

I guess a factory reset is in order. Hopefully that fixes it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greeced:
This actually may have some merit. I have a friend who had the Rogers Version of the Samsung Galaxy S (Captivate I	think) and he was experiencing nothing but signal problems.

It kept cutting out, losing signal the whole bit. I did some checking between his and his wifes Rogers phones and noticed their SIM cards were different colours. (Red on one, white on the other)

His turned out to be an older SIM model card, and for a few days I swapped his with his wifes, and the signal issues disappeared.

He then got his card replaced and never had a signal problem since.

This might be worth looking into.

Hi guys,

So after this, I am having one issue: my phone has rebooted on me 3 times after I updated to the latest build. Any suggestions?

Also anyone here in Canada try the takju build?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] r00ler:
I'm running yakju with 4.0.2 / ICL53F. I'm getting the assert failed Status 7 error whenever I try to update, no matter if it's "natural" OTA or if I use the CWM flash method.

The only fussing I've done is replace the music that was on my (Canadian Rogers) device with the US version. I'm guessing this is what is causing me issues. I'd really like to upgrade without having to erase all my data, and I've seen some posts describing copying the files from the stock image in to place, but I'm not sure how to do this.

After reading around, I used the instructions by efrant on extracting the original apps from my original 4.0.2 image. I copied the files onto the phone, then did a fastboot boot cwm.img, then an adb shell which let me poke around the file system. However, when I looked at the file sizes of the Music2.apk that I'd pulled out of the image and the one on my phone, they were exactly the same. So now I'm at a loss for which file is causing me grief because I haven't touched any of the stock apps on the phone apart from Google Music.

Anyone have any tips for me?

Is it really that hard to understand? You cannot alter/delete any system file on your device, or you can't use OTAs anymore. Adding stuff like SU is ok, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] r00ler:
Yes, thank you, super helpful. As I described, I'm *trying* to determine whether a) the Google Music application constitutes system files, because that's all I've modified, or b) if so, how can I revert back without wiping my data (if possible) as it appears that the 4.0.2 image I have contains the exact same versions of the Music app that are on my phone.

So no, it's not hard to understand, and I've read nearly every page in this thread and many others around looking to solve my problem, but in the end I've been unable to come up with a firm answer for the questions above. I hoped that my initial post indicated that I wasn't just replying here as a first course of action but rather as last resort.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
Install the 4.0.4 factory image via fastboot and proceed from there.

As far as I am aware you don't lose the user data in this process.

Google Music is in the image so of course it's a system file just like any other app that comes pre-installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Reviz:

the only way (on my phone) to have no drops is use the stock 4.0.2 rom/radio/baseband

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] r00ler:
Well, that was wrong, installing the factory image wiped the phone. I took a CWM backup first and am recovering to that. Any more suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tneRRot:
My Phone rebooted itself frequently on 4.0.1. 4.0.4 fixed that issue plus improved battery life. On IMM76D I would miss calls on the phone and have data lockups. IMM76I fixed the missed calls but definitely still have data lockups maybe once a day (have to go to airplane mode and back to re-connect).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You have the wrong radio flashed.

If you flash the userdata partition, it WILL wipe.

You need to flash the radio that came with ICL53F, which is XXKK6 I believe, and then apply the update. You can get the radio either from the ICL53F image, or from the link in my signature.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] r00ler:
Thanks very much, this solved the problem!
