The differences are small. Different language packs and radios are most notable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bayint Naung:
Regarding the radio, I flashed radio when convert to yajku. Is it possible that stock(factory radio firmware) is optimized for specific carrier/location?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zoum79:
The news about SG S3 and possibly S2 receiving JB in Aug/Sep pushed me to unlock the bootloader, flash takju and relock it. No need to flash radio as It comes with updated radio. Well played by Samsung to kill off the Nexus and promote its S3/S2, stupid Google.

Hello

I'm from Italy and have Nexus with basic build > yakju <, came with ICS 4.0.4.

( this is what I found in the ro.product.name in build.prop )

So it should belong to the first set of OTA updates, being updated by Google ;) (if I understood...).

Nevertheless, my Nexus keeps saying 4.0.4 ICS is up to date, while JB is already being delivered OTA out there!

No way to make it update to JB OTA, even restarting the phone more then one time didn't help. :crying:

Maybe there's something I miss...?!

(edit: navigating to my phone info menu it states that build number is IMM76K - I found by googling that it seems IMM76K are not being updated, while IMM76I are!)

How IMM76K / IMM76I and yakju are related..???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
Do you also have a yakju IMM76K build? Some reports are coming out about this build.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] indago:
..yes, definitely.

May you explain please how IMM76K and yakju are related? Which is the *real* build number actually? And what the meaning of other code then? thanks a lot!

(so sad I can't have JB at once, bought my brans new Nexus today...) :crying::crying:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
Well the official yakju builds that Google released as OTA updates was IMM76D and IMM76I. It is possible that new phones are coming pre loaded with an IMm76K yakju build, and if that's the case, we will have to wait until someone gets an OTA update in order to get a link.

Any chance you could go under Settings - About Phone and tell me what the radio/base and version is? It'll look something like I9250XXKL1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] indago:
Sure. Radio/base is I9250XXLA2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
Can you reboot onto the bootloader and tell me the boot loader version as well? Just hold down both volume up and volume down while turning the phone on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] indago:
Bootloader is PRIMELA03

also I can read...

PRODUCT NAME - tuna ; VARIANT - maguro 16GB ; HW VERSION - 9
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
OK it sounds like Google is shipping a yakju IMM76K build on newer international I9250 devices. When you get an OTA update, could you share the link with us? It's pretty easy yo get the link if you follow these instructions:

1. Enable USB debugging on your phone. You can do this in Settings - Developer Options.

2. Install aLogCat from the market. It's free.

3. Wait for the update notification on your phone.

4. Before installing the update, go into aLogCat and do a filter for ".zip" (without the quotes).

5. You'll see an entry with a URL that will look something like http://android.clients.google.com/p....signed-yakju-JRO03C-from-IMM76K.abcdef12.zip

6. Post that URL here and receive our eternal thanks. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] indago:
:good: I will.

(by the way... in this case, have you any idea of when we (IMM76K people) could expect JB update, based on Google "normal" rollout behavior..?)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
I can't imagine you guys would have to wait much longer. I would guess the next couple of weeks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] syren69:
yakjuxw & IMM76K

Yea, I got this build as well. I'll update the forum with the link as well as soon as it comes out too. Out of curiosity, how do I check if my phone is LTE or HSPA+?

Thanks,

MK.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
You have yakjuxw. You're using an HSPA+ device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] indago:
To let you know.. I manually updated to JB using Google's official JB image using xda nexus toolkit. Everything went smooth :) I got frustrated waiting...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pigr8:
same as mine was

^ this

got the same thing, used toolkit to flash the official JB on the IMM76K version :) another try was to downgrade ICS to ad official ICS build that receive JB OTA's :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] funderful:
I'm not sure it's strictly true that yakjuxw is just for "certain carriers in Western Europe". Any Galaxy Nexus bought from any retailer (including third party general electronics dealers) in Sweden ships with yakjuxw. These are completely unlocked and unsubsidised devices, carriers don't even enter into the picture.

Is Samsung altering phones for carriers that might or might not ever have the devices on their networks? Has anyone even been able to get a straight answer out of Samsung as to what differentiates yakjuxw from yakju and why the different firmware exists? Those on Swedish forums who have flashed yakju don't seem to report any difference other than more timely updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] syren69:
How do i do that?

And how do I do that? Is there a link to a 'how to'?

And does the procedure delete anything on my phone?

Thanks,

MK.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
If you are on yakju or takju, look at the "update" link in my signature to update to JB. If you are on a different build, look at the "flash" link to convert you device to JB yakju or takju.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VuDuCuRSe:
Yes, I'm form Portugal and my unlocked GN with no connection to any Portuguese carrier also came with yakjuxw.

I'm thinking about flashing yakju as stated on this topic opening message, to then jump to JB but I'm curious about eventual small differences that might be on the firmware which may cause issues with GPS, radio or what else... :confused:

Also, oldblue910 how do you feel about adding all this super-relevant info to the Wiki page? :)

I recently bought my GN and started looking at the wiki assuming it would gather all basic info to know the "way of the nexus" but I see that it only holds the basic spec sheet info and some easy Googable links. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sr21:
Hi VuDuCuRSe :laugh:

I do not have any problems with Takju (when I changed the firmware, Yakju didn't had the JB update yet, so I flashed Takju...) and there is no problem with this firmware in Portugal.

As you might know, Yakju does not have Google Wallet and Takju does... but that's the diference...

If you dig in the stickies posts you will find the tuturials to do the firmware change :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
I'll put it in the Wiki soon. That's a good idea.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikolo98:
Thank you so much oldblue910 for the info. And as usual, there is no better place to learn about our favorite gadgets than here on XDA!!!! WOOT!!!!

Now time to go update my yakjuxw to yakju........
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prestissimo:
GN JB 4.1.1.

Hello,

First i did Nr. 8 from the kit then Nr.9.

Everthing workes fine now.

My question.

Where I can see which Clockworkmod is beeing installed on my phone now?

Is it a Stock Mod or CWM Touch....or somethingelse?

I've installed the (Clockwork) ROM Manager on my phone.

Thanx for answering

GN Update query

Hi guys,

Details of my device:

Build yakjuxw

product name: maguro

HW version 9

Bootloader ver: PRIMEKK15

Base Band Ver: I9250XXLA2

Query:

I am on IMM76K (4.0.4) yakjuxw build.

Can i just flash IMM76I (4.0.4) from yakju or takju and receive OTA updates to 4.1.1 / 4.1 JB?

(Download the IMM76I update zip file and flash it in my stock recovery).

Would it work?

Thanks,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You need to flash a yakju or takju build, and in order to do that, you need root or an unlocked bootloader. You cannot flash it using a stock recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] redrage1359:
Thank you

I just have a small query.

When i place the takju IMM76I.zip on my phone storage, reboot into recovery and try to flash,

i get these options,

How do i proceed from here>

> Is it a must that i need to unlock the bootloader??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Sorry, my mistake. I misread your post. You cannot use the stock recovery to flash zips like that. The only zips that you can flash with a stock recovery are "update" zips, like the ones found here. If you want to flash a stock ROM, you need to either have root, a custom recovery, or unlock your bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rakeshdev:
JB Update

I suggest please follow the GNex Toolkit v7.8 step by step or else check forums for detailed instructions in case you want to dig in details in terms of terminal commands....make your choice....toolkit works best (atleast for Noobs)...

Regards,

Rakesh
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
No, toolkits do not work best, particularly for n00bs, as has been shown many times.

Something like this works best to flash yakju or takju.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] redrage1359:
Erfant Thanks a ton for your support and thread. I went through it and unlocked the boot loader & flashed everything seperately. Went to IMM76I from IMM76K immediately & got an update JRO03C. Now everything is up and running good on my Takju build.

Only doubt is whether it makes sense to relock the boot loader to get that complete satisfaction of a stock phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
There is no real need to relock it. You are completely stock. The bootloader doesn't affect how your ROM runs. Think of it this way: if you use or don't use a lock screen password, does it make you any more or any less stock? No. Same thing with the bootloader: lock or unlocked, does it make you any more or any less stock? No.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
I tend to keep my devices unrooted and the bootloader locked for security reasons. If my devices were to ever get stolen, it's much easier to get at sensitive information if you have root. Even if your ROM is unrooted, if the bootloader is unlocked, all you have to do is flash CWM and you instantly have root access via ADB to everything in the /data folder. That's a big security risk I'm not willing to take. I get that I can wipe it remotely, and I have Android Lost installed on all of my devices. It's the time between when it gets stolen and the time I realize it's stolen that concerns me. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yeah, I agree with you that a device with an unlocked bootloader is not as secure as with a locked bootloader. But, same goes for encryption: a device with no encryption is not as secure as a device with.

I suppose that it all depends on what "sensitive information" one has on their device. To me, credit-card/banking info, etc. is not "sensitive information" because I can just call my bank and report that the info was stolen, even if charges were already made on the credit card, or funds already withdrawn from the account, the bank will refund me. (My credit card info was stolen and someone managed to charged up close to $700. I was fully refunded almost immediately after calling it in. On a separate occasion, my banking info was stolen, and funds of over $800 were withdrawn. Again, I was refunded almost immediately.)

For me, sensitive information is information that will get you into trouble (legal or otherwise) if it gets into someone else hands -- I personally do not (and never would) keep anything like that on my phone (at least not without encryption).

That being said, the point I was trying to make to the poster was in response to his comment of getting "that complete satisfaction of a stock phone": if the bootloader is locked or unlocked doesn't make a device more stock or less stock. It is stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
No argument from me on that one! You're absolutely right.

And yeah, I was referring to financial info as "sensitive" because I've had that info stolen once. It was a nightmare to get it all sorted out and ended up taking 30 days to get back almost $900 dollars. It was money taken from my primary bank account that I use to pay my bills and live on. haha

What's the better root for Nexus ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kunv07:
Hi, I know this is off topic,but please reply. I just brought a galaxy nexus yesterday.

i am unable to receive any app through Bluetooth from any other android phone. i CAN receive music and pics etc just fine.

But cant receive apps. Android market works fine though.

Is this normal for this phone? or am i supposed to change some settings? or is something wrong with my device?

Please reply. Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tomaxda:
That is normal.

New feature of Play store is that it modifies each app so that it is unique for the device it is installed for. This is meant to prevent piracy. Google tells dev - you are free to publish a version of your app that does not have this modification, but only outside the Play store - in the Play store all apps are now non-transferable.

---------- Post added at 05:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 PM ----------

I just bought a Canadian (yakjuux) GNex that was stuck on 4.0.1 so I quickly upgraded it to takju JB, same as many others are doing.

Now I find that it drops most calls within a few minutes.

I have seen others suggest that I try a long list of radio firmwares, but that seems rather scattershot to me. If there is one radio that is designed for my network (Bell) then I will try it - does anyone know about this? e.g. is there a GNex radio for Bell?

(I did not adequately test the device before upgrading to takju, so I don't know whether the problem existed prior to the upgrade.)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dr. Sheldon Cooper:
If I buy the phone in from middle east. So, it should be yakju jp. Can anybody can tell me what is wrong with this version?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
Absolutely nothing. The only thing is, you won't get updates when Google releases them. Instead, you will have to wait for Samsung to make some changes and provide the update to you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dr. Sheldon Cooper:
So, how much I'll have to wait for the update? And which version gets first and direct uodate form google? If I buy the middle east version, how will I get u[dates directly from google, any mod? I'm sorta newbie in this please help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
OK well generally the Samsung updates happen a month to two months after Google's update. Only Galaxy Nexus devices that are sold with "yakju" (Western Europe basically), "takju" (USA GSM), and "mysid" (USA CDMA/Verizon) firmware get the updates straight from Google.

The good news is, if you buy it in the Middle East and it has yakjujp, you can easily flash "yakju" firmware to it and get your updates from Google, and there are no real negatives to doing so. It's a pretty simple process to do overall.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dr. Sheldon Cooper:
Thanks, dude! Tell me where I would get to flash with "yakju" filmware? Give me link and steps please.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thedirtchamber:
Hi there. I've decided to change my current phone (Samsung Omnia 7) and move to the Nexus. I love WP7, but after MS announced WP8 and the fact that we won't be getting it unless we buy a WP8 based phone, I feel that the Omnia is obsolete. So I'm going back to Android.

I'm not new to the OS, before the Omnia I had a Galaxy SL and I loved it. However, I'm quite blown away about the amount of topics/roms/guides/etc. that I found here for the Nexus. So I need your help to get me started. To be more specific, I need some straight forward links to what I need to flash/download/etc., in order to root my phone and get a good rom on it. I'm not lazy, I did try to find what I need, but as I said there's A LOT of info here and I wouldn't really know where to begin. :(

Thank you for your help. :)

Updating a Rom

To update a rom, especially the blackbean for galaxy nexus from v.3.1.1 to v3.1.6 what wipes i have to do from cwm?:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Eng Ahmed:
Question

Nice guide

Today i received an official update to android jelly bean 4.1 & after

installing 150MB and rebooting , an image appear red triangle with a black

exclamation mark on a green Android picture :confused:

The device had not been rooted or any thing else. thanks for helping
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hipwell:
Hi just bought a g nexus and i love it. Its a yakju variant updated by google. However i have just flashed android revolution hd onto it and unlocked the bootloader and flashed cwm.

When google comes to release an update to jelybean and sends an ota out, how will i go about updating to this?

Will it mean flashing stock rom back and relocking the bootloader with stock recovery? Then update via ota?

Or can i just relock the bootloader and update through arhd??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grav1ty:
Are there any yakju stock roms but then without gApps? If not, are there any possibilities to do this with Android OSP? And if so, where can I find such a guide?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tomaxda:
I think all stock ROMs would come with gApps. Yes, you could build from AOSP yourself and then you have image w/o gApps, but easiest probably to just use CM since this is how they start.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bennieboj:
samsung takju

Situation:

I always wanted to know if I really had OTA updates yes or no.

I never could test this since I directly unlocked the bootloader, rooted and flashed android 4.1.1 takyu (JRO03C) after I got my phone.

Back I had a samsung build, which got stuck at 4.0.4.

Until recently: 4.1.2 came out :laugh:

I wanted to get the OTA update: nothing. Most of you guys already have this I guess.)

When I look at google maps > settings > info > device it says "samsung takju".

This is not what I wanted, I wanted stock yakju, no more samsung...

I also don't need Google Wallet, I just want OTA updates, thus I need yakju

The problem is that I can't find the yakju 4.1.1 ROM anymore (they replaced it on the dev site).

I simply want to have 4.1.1 so that I can update to 4.1.2 so that I'm sure that I have OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
This should get you on yakju 4.1.2 without wiping data:

1) Download the yakju 4.1.2 factory image from Google's developer page.

2) Extract the system.img and boot.img files

3) Flash the system.img file: fastboot flash system system.img

4) Flash the boot.img file: fastboot flash boot boot.img

4) Erase the cache partition: fastboot erase cache

5) Reboot into CWM and wipe the dalvik cache.

6) Reboot.

If it doesn't get past the boot animation, reboot into CWM and wipe data -- although this will wipe your apps and settings, it will retain everything in /sdcard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bennieboj:
1 and 2 done.

3:

C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>fastboot flash system system.img

sending 'system' (400747 KB)... FAILED (remote: Exceed Buffer Size (0x16400000

))

finished. total time: 0.007s

this aint normal =(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Are you on the LC03 bootloader? If not, flash that first (included in the same package that you downloaded) and then proceed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bennieboj:
Will this break my CWM or something?

Will I still be able to recover to my 4.1.1 nandroid if needed?

Thanks for helping me btw :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
No, it will not do anything to CWM, and yes, you will be able to restore your nandroid if you want.

One other thing to check is cable and USB port -- make sure you are using a cable that you know works, and that you are plugged into the back of your PC, not the front.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bennieboj:
It worked, thanks a lot!

I just found out that I lost root =(

Can I simply use a toolkit, selecting version 4.1.1 and obtain root, or is there a commandline way? I used superSU in the past.

EDIT: nvm I installed a zip using CWM. I still have the this question though:

Now google maps > settings > info > device says "samsung yajku". Is this normal? Shouldn't it say "yajku"? Is there a way to see if I really can get the official updates?

I mean I couldn't get updates when it said "samsung takju", why should I when it says "samsung yajku"?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
No, that is normal. It should say Samsung yakju.

You can get updates on both. Just because YOU didn't get the update, it doesn't mean anything. Updates are not rolled out all at once.

This is to be expected. You overwrote the system partition, where the root files are stored...

Use this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bennieboj:
This is exactly what I did, after some googling.

Thanks a lot for your time!

I am on YAKJUXW, baseband XXLF1 Buildnumber JRO03C Android 4.1.1. Is there anybody who got the same as build as mine who was able to update to 4.1.2 OTA? Ive already tried clearing Google Framework Services data several times but still didnt get the OTA update
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
If we look at the the 4.1.1 update, it took a couple of months after yakju got the update, before yakjuxw got the update, so I would assume that it would take a couple of months.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] earldroid:
Thanks a lot for the quick reply. I thought I am free from Samsung's slow updates when I bought my GN, It turns out Im not. I guess i have to resort to rooting my GN and convert it to YAKJU so I can have the update.

Does my phone support LTE?

Hello. Great guide. I have one question. How do I know if my phone supports LTE. I cannot find if it has it or not.

Supporting LTE is a hardware difference between different GNs or a software difference.

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
Only the CDMA models support LTE...so if you don't have a Verizon or Sprint Gnex device, you don't have LTE. If you don't have one of those, you have a GSM model which supports HSPA+ as its "4G" method. In reality, neither HSPA+ nor LTE even come close to the standard for 4G, they're more like 3.5G, but regardless, that's the easiest way to tell. :D
