have read you can just unlock the phone, install 4.2, re-lock the phone and re-install apps, settings etc.

but how do i actually install the zip/tar file?

Is it possible to flash takju (i'm yakju) without having to wipe my phone?

Oh, just a quick PS: my bootloader is locked.

:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying: and that's what I call a major frustration.

(yes I do know this is impossible in case someone didn't get it. Lol)

Come on google, release it!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xabi00:
I converted my yakju to takju and updated it to 4.2, I use spanish language and so far I don't see any difference. In language selection I can see some characters which I believe are arabic but I can't confirm if it is the same or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoadHazard:
Yakju and takju are identical except that takju includes Google Wallet (which is unsupported in most of the world). They get updated at pretty much the same time (with only a small delay between them), and yakju actually got 4.1.2 before takju did. This time takju got it first, but yakju is sure to follow very soon.

Are you thinking of the regional variants of yakju, such as yakjuxw, etc? Yeah, those get updates much later, but that's not true for yakju, which is updated directly by Google just like takju.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Genitaliban:
I just flashed system.img and boot.img from the takju factory image onto my yakju. It works so far. No wipe, no factory reset. All data still there. :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrmoore10:
I may be mistaken, but the last three updates (4.1.1, 4.1.2, and 4.2) have all released for takju (the US version sold on Google Play) first. At least that's how I remember... (like I said, I may be wrong). I seem to recall yakju releasing maybe one day later if not later the same day. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
You're not wrong. It was takju that got 4.1.2 first indeed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
Takju got jellybean first when the galaxy nexus moved from ICS to jellybean as has continued to get every update first before yakju ever since.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] M_Shaaban:
Xabi00

I flashed the takju 4.2 and Arabic is working fine
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
listen people, you want yakju right now, build from src. if not, and you still want 4.2 badly that you can't wait a day, flash takju. doesn't matter, doesn't influence system behaviour in any way, that the community is aware. well, i could speculate and say that gps.conf would be configured for US, not Europe; once rooted that would change ofc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] G0belet:
It doesn't have to be like this.

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG HERE. MOST OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE

FROM MEMORY

. IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, BETTER KEEP IT SAFE AND WAIT UNTIL THE ACTUAL YAKJU UPDATE HITS, YOU COULD END UP WITH A (SOFT) BRICK! Now that we got this out of the way...

Get the full takju factory image from Google, unpack it, then unpack the zip file that's in it. Reboot in bootloader mode, then while plugged in and in the folder where you unzipped the second file, type

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img

Now, you should be running what's essentially a takju system. To be extra safe, you might want to flash the radio from the package, too, by going back up a folder (it's not in the zip, it's in the original tgz) doing a

fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxlf1.img

Now you have a takju system. Reboot in recovery, download the takju ota update. Go in the menu (press down and power at the same time) and select Update using ADB or something that sounds like it. Back to your computer, type

adb sideload e587de13bf8a.signed-takju-JOP40C-from-JZO54K.e587de13.zip

then when it's done, finally select Reboot. You are running 4.2 and you didn't lose any data!

If any single step in this doesn't make sense, DO NOT ATTEMPT ANYTHING. I'm not around here often so I can't help much more than this.

Browser

I have a question. Do you have also the Stock Browser? I think it will be replaced with the Chrome Browser? But in my case there is allready the Stock Browser installed. I've installed the Factory Images takyu. Thanks.

Flash takju 4.2 factory image an never need wait again, I would never use yakju again, everything's the same as yakju but without the stupid delays on updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] demzzy:
yeah i think its only the nexus 4, 7 & 10... dunno why it isnt default for the gnex also since the update..:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] polonordo:
thank god... stock browser on 4.1.2 is much smoother than chrome (even last vers.)

in fact i think that the stock browser on the gnex is the smoothest bowser out there, and i have tested many of them:good:

google knows that chrome on android is missing moothness and i'm pretty sure that a huge update is coming in the next months for chrome
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] demzzy:
hmm weird tho.. cause the n7 has the same amount of ram as the gnex and chrome is default
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoadHazard:
Hmm, I seem to remember yakju getting one of these updates first (I'm pretty sure it was 4.1.2), and people being surprised by that since everyone expected takju to be first. But maybe I'm wrong. In any case, yakju is never far behind takju (it's nothing like the horrible situation with the Samsung-updated versions - yakjuxw, etc), so unless you simply have to be first with the update I'd say it doesn't really matter which of these you use. I personally use yakju since it's the international version and it really wouldn't make much sense for me to use the US-specific takju with Google Wallet (although I guess it really wouldn't matter).

Let's hope so. I really like Chrome for its features (especially tab sync with the desktop version), and was using it for quite a while, but I've now gone back to the stock browser on my GNex. Chrome is just too stuttery, and can freeze for seconds at a time when loading heavy pages. Not nice at all. The stock browser is so much smoother.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
Takju is yakju just with wallet, the only US specific thing on it is google wallet, unless you really hate the fact google wallet is pre installed with it why would your prefer yakju, we get wallet won't work internationaly but I wouldn't use it anyway even if it did work, there's no benefit choosing yakju over takju, an yakju updates can take anywhere up to 2 weeks longer to get ota updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] negrobembon:
Being yakyu is not so bad, u get updated right after takyu and by then u know the bugs in advance by reading the comments here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rockhwd:
yes, yakju get the OTA for 4.1.2 first, but before that, google has released the factory image for takju one day before yakju, and before the OTA happen, so we still consider takju get the 4.1.2 before yakju. but anyway, it really not a big difference if compare the yakjuxw:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoadHazard:
Two weeks? Pretty sure the delay has never been anywhere near that long.

Yeah, the OTA was what I was referring to, not the factory image.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vizkid2005:
In India, running 4.1.2... Still waiting for yakju 4.2... Any updates?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChucCTaylor:
Just did this and it worked the update came threw I'm on Yakju it started installing but then there was an error it just depicted the android icon with his back open red caution sign i just took the battery out and rebooted every is ok but strange I suppose.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pafaisal:
Still no OTA for yakju. So I flashed takju and updated to 4.2..So happy..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lebo-Wog:
Oi we dont care about those flashing takju, its a yakju only thread, so please if u have yakju and got the OTA share it here, otherwise we dont have time to lose and restore our data
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amir7165:
Nooooooo , Still waiting, No Update ...(12:45 Malaysia :D )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] myvijay:
Haven't seen anyone confirming that they got Yakju 4.2, so I assume it has not been released yet, no use in checking system updates or wiping the framework cache until Google releases it... Backing up everything, flashing takju , then updating via recovery and finally restoring everything is just too long a process.. there are enough and more tutorials on how to flash a stock rom and update, so don't think there is any use repeating those instructions on this thread.. people on this thread including me are just too lazy or too busy to do all that.. Waiting patiently for the update...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amir7165:
Yes, I hope we receive updates until end of the day :D:D:D:D:D or maybe end of the week. I hate these policies they should release it for all types

why is this partiallity??

i was so much desperate to receive the latest ota updates from google directly hence i bought the gnex, for my despair i came to know that mine was the yakjujup model so i wont be getting the updates straight from the google instead i must rely on samsung so i flashed my gnex to yakju but still for my luck only the takju models will get the ota updates first ......why is this difference in its own family????

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
Download the 4.2 takju factory image from Google developers site, download a toolkit, there's 2 toolkits just look on xda for them, open toolkit an follow instructions on toolkit to select an flash the 4.2 takju file, it will wipe everything so backup your apps with titanium backup first, re root using toolkit an flash cmw recovery then restore your apps back with titanium backup, remember you need to move titanium backup folder to computer first before flashing 4.2 then back to your phone after you update to 4.2.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
The only difference is takju has 4.2 an yakju doesn't at moment plus takju has google wallet pre installed, an that will happen every time Google releases an update, every time google updates everyone complains on yakju for having to wait a day or two longer because they won't convert to takju which would be the best thing to do so it doesn't happen again with each new update google releases for galaxy nexus :D

If they didn't push the update from servers obviously you wont get an update with that little "magic", but since they push OTA you might save a little time. :)

I'm wondering if the LG Nexus4 will suffer from these stupid update delays with all these different builds for 1 nexus device, another sad day for google , when will they learn an just push updates to all gsm nexus phones at same time , there's no need for different gsm base bands , the takju build works in any country fine just not google wallet, I love android but the way they push an release updates is the most hated thing about google an android, every gsm nexus should be takju an forget about all the other BS, apple arnt the the enemy google are doing a good enough job cutting their own throats with this kind of crap.

could be that it didnt work because of my unstable wifi connection...
