Still no update to 4.0.4 - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hello guys, I still haven't the update. Can someone help me?
My nexus is yakju. And I tried the framework trick a couple times.
Some people sayed that Google was taking it back because of the bugs and network problems.

You can download the image and flash yourself. Nobody is getting the ota atm.

I am sorry but I'm still a noob. But where can I get the original download.

Flash using fastboot. There are a ton of tutorials on this forum to do just that.
Or you can download the ota from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569791
There is a link on how to flash it in the first post.

You didn't watch the noob video when you signed up did you? Search function works wonders. Googling always helps too. And heck, there are probably 50 links in the first page of threads randomly strewn about. Google developers site helps too.

I heard Google decided to hold on to the 4.0.4 since it caused too much trouble for people.

decided to hold off on it becuase it caused too many problems for people?!?!
Jeeezz.. Glad I got it when I did. My battery life is at least 33% better, the phone is at least 25% faster. I have had zero issues with it. Certianly nothing that warrants putting it on hold.
Grrr...

i think you can find one custom rom? or one stock rom on google.

Many people suffered unexplainable signal drops while in deep sleep and other general sudden radio drops. It can't be because of the new radio that followed, since I have that and run CM9 and no signal-drops whatsoever.
So, Google decided to hold on to the second "batch" of OTA releases since the first batch caused problems. They will fix the error an re-release the OTA later. At least what I've heard, doesn't mean what I say is true.

Flashing all of the stock image replaces EVERYTHING! However, it does not relock your bootloader.

Maybe its good that Verizon held off then. Still hoping for it soon

Yeah, it's possible. And furthermore, to make sure your phone registers as "yakju", you only need to flash the yakju system.img. Possibly the kernel too.

While that is true. If you want to get future OTA's you need the bootloader and radio for IMM76D as well.

Well, its hard to say. We just know they aren't coming from Samsung, which is DAMN NICE.
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?

test keys are reserved for eng builds. Those are deodexed, full builds, include debugging tools, and never otas.

How to brick Gnex?

I want to test something, and I have done it before on Skyrocket Galaxy, but forgot exactly how.
I think I used Odin to flashed a modified pit file, and I successfully bricked the SR.
I can't find a gnex pit file to test.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1586807
The rom there doesn't have pit file. I can't seem to able to open the img files in there.
Do you guys have a PIT for me to play?
I think I add "1" in one of the partition address in the PIT for SR before.
Thanks
I found this.
I will test it soon.

You are coming from an HTC device, yes?
A bad radio flash on HTC devices will certainly brick your device.
That is not the case with Samsung devices though. I've seen some individuals with bad radio flashes, and fastboot still works fine to flash a new one.

I don't know if if the Galaxy Nexus suffers from the same issue as the Samsung Moment, but with that phone, flashing a boot.png (on the GN it's the very first static, black and white 'Google' screen when the phone turns on) larger in size that the existing one, or having too many colors, etc would cause an instant perma-brick. I don't know if we're to the point with the GN where we can freely flash that sort of thing, but I know it worked (didn't work?) on the Moment.
The first post here has the list of guidelines for flashing boot.png images that were discovered trial-by-fire by Moment users.
So, are you guys saying it's next to impossible to brick the Galaxy Nexus if just flashing the basic stuff?

You have no idea how relieved that makes me.
I come from an HTC Nexus One and I never once flashed a radio on it, and I didn't wanna mess too much with bootloaders as an incorrect flashing of the two would acquire a brick.
I'm only on user-level (and flashing, of course) so I don't think I'll ever manage to brick it.

Anything that is based on 4.0.4, even stock. I don't find custom kernels to make a big difference in saving battery (my opinion).. as concerning whether u should root or not, it depends on what u want to do with ur phone and whether u're satisfied or not with stock. Users' needs and expectations differ, so don't let anyone make that decision for u.

Here is my opinion: Why would anyone buy an Android phone if you don't root it? I hate Apple as a company but even I admit that the iPhone is a great piece of technology that inspired all the Android phones. If you don't want to root your device, just return it and get an iPhone.
If you want bloatware gone (yes GN has it too), more customization, better battery life, and snappier phone, go ahead and root and customize. I did it manually, YMMV. I use AOKP and Franco's kernel.
I just ran into a problem when rooting. I unlocked the bootloader and flashed clockworkmod and then pulled the battery to reboot but it didn't wipe the phone so I'm not sure what to do
PS: Sorry for not putting this in the Q&A section but I just realized.

mate, u have to run a few full cycles of the battery to make an objective analysis, u couldn't have done that in the first 2 days u got the phone
I see no reason not to root. Yes it comes down to personal preference but clearly the OP has experience rooting so it shouldn't be that difficult, especially given that this phone was made to be rooted.
Personally, I'm rooted but barely use it for much. Mostly for free tethering and Root Explorer. I just like knowing I can do whatever I want, when I want and I can't possibly screw up my device...for the most part.

Yea your best off to download one of the developmental roms that have some tweaks, fixes, and some mods.
I wouldn't touch the ICS custom roms since ignorance is bliss. They have LOTS of customization that hurts when missed. Some of the JB mods help but you won't miss what you never had!
Welcome to the Nexii Community btw. I recommend a 34px Nav bar and Battery% mods to start you out. The Nav bar mod will make the bar smaller because the stock Nav bar is HUGE!
can you show us the screenshot of the about phone page? what date is the kernel built at?

Much better than my old faithful Vibrant on SlimICS, though I still love her too lol
Um, Google took that JRN84D from IMM30D update down just hours after putting it up...so either Google put the update back up and his phone is running IMM30D takju, or Google has begun the roll out to other devices.

I've always thought the same thing.

Of course, the reality is about half the guys on here would volunteer to be beta testers given a decent chance as well...
Anyone know if this will come to the phone through the software update option?
In other words, is this official?

Why not just flash the update in stock recovery? You can use ota rootkeeper to protect root.
Also the pro version of mobile odin will flash any of the full fw releases as well as the otas, and it'll reinject root during the process. (Its now my preferred method)
Most people arent going to want to give you their nandroid. theres too much personal info on it. Even those like me who make one right after flashing will be very cautious about this. Theres almost always something in there that is easily forgotten to clear. You could get lucky and find someone willing to do it, just dont get your hopes up too much.

so if I have UVALH2 stock ROM, i can just flash this zip file? and that would bring me to the latest update?

Hey doc got some questions for ya. I came to the gs3 from nexus s 4g. With the ns4g I could always just flash new ROMs and updates in cwm. It seems the process is a bit more complicated on gs3. I purchased mobile Odin, and I've used the PC version a couple of times, but I'm not that comfortable with it. First day I got my gs3 I flashed Mr. Robinson's root injected uvlah2 and just stuck with that. A couple nights ago I finally flashed a new radio and it has helped my signal. I want to make sure my phone is ready for the jb update so what would you suggest?

Its the same with this phone.. pretty much all of your roms kernels and modems via cwm... this is a different case because its a samsung update and hasnt been made into a cwm flashable zip...

OK so when I flash the modem update I'm flashing the whole update and not just the modem?
