For those of you that want the OTA update to 4.1 (Jelly Bean) this is how you can force the update to your phone without having to wait for Verizon to push it to your phone.
*Warning - Results vary (may or may not work). You also risk damaging your push notifications. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
1. Connect to WiFi. YOU MUST be connected to WiFi for this to work.
2. Settings > Apps > All > Google Services Framework
3. Force Stop
4. Clear Data
5. Settings > About Phone > System Updates
6. Tap "Check Now" ONLY ONCE It will seem like the phone is frozen or didn't register the tap. Just wait a few moments. (However, if it has been 5 mins, I do mean you literally timed it not just your best guess. Then tap it again)
If all went well the you will be taken to a screen that describes the new features of the update while its downloading the update.
If you see the current date and a message saying you are currently up to date. Repeat steps 2 - 6. Personally it took 2 tries for it work on my phone and I have seen reports of it taking sometimes up to 6 tries for this to work. So don't get discouraged if it take a few tries.

I saw this method in a comment on Engadget and it seemed sketchy, but I tried it and it worked perfectly.
Go to apps> all >google services framework
Force stop the app and clear data(or the other way around, doesnt matter which order)
Go to about system and then check for updates.
The phone will say it was last updated 12/31/1969....click check now and then magic.
*note: you may have to repeat these steps multiple times before it finally shows the update ...for me it was 2...but others were reporting up to 6 times
Awesome, worked like a charm for me
Works .......took about 4 times. Now to lock bootloader.

Just bear in mind that if you do this, push notifications will break in many apps like Twitter, Android Lost, GetGlue, IMDB, Instagram, etc. The only way to get them working again is to clear the data for each individual app and set it up again.

They won't break in every app, only certain ones. I believe it depends on how the individual app implements push notifications.

I'm having this exact same issue, non-rooted, unlocked bootloader....anyone got any suggestions?
I had tried this numerous times on Friday with no luck, but I did it today and Boom, it's downloading now!!
Question
It took about 8 times before this worked for me. This may be a stupid question but, after the update, when rebooting my phone, I get the unlock icon as if I had unlocked the boot loader but I have never done that on this phone is that supposed to happen?
I've been trying this periodically over the last 3 days. Probably done it 30 times.
Still nothing. (Not unlocked or rooted.)

I flashed 4.0.2, rebooted, and got the ota
Is there a real advantage to having the .04 OTA over a ROM that is .04?
Not necessarily, except IMM76K could have some kind of telephony code that custom AOSP ROMs wouldn't have...but we wouldn't know that for sure until IMM76K gets tagged in AOSP, if it ever does.

Good to know.
I didn't want to restore to .02 and do all the hubub getting there if it really isn't necessary.

I have tried this a million of times, still no update
What worked for me on two devices so far was yo follow instructions and clear the data/force close. Then when you go check for updates and the screen says "last checked on 12/31/1969", quickly and repeatedly press the check now button. I pressed it as fast as I could and within a few seconds it started downloading the update. On my second phone I did this on, it worked the first try.

The same for me. I have a Google Galaxy Nexus and I can't force the update from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4
I tried a lot of tricks like the one you give, and it still does not want to update... I bought it directly from Google so there is no carrier involved...

Well then you must have installed a non-stock ROM at some point because no Galaxy Nexus model that I'm aware of has ever had Android 4.0.3 installed on it.

Thanks for your answer.
The fact is I was working at Google 6 months ago and so Google deployed 4.0.3 on my phone. Now that I'm gone, I'm stuck with 4.0.3 and I can't apparently update to 4.0.4. Any idea on how to change "admin" settings or downgrade to default version and then upgrade?
Thanks
I finally made the update.
I had to unlock my bootloader and then I used the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit to install 4.0.4 as the factory image. then, I used the OTA to have 4.1.1 (aka Jelly Bean).
The most important thing is to install the Android ADB Interface driver, so that your phone is available while on recovery mode.
After all these steps, you can lock the bootloader again, what I did
Every time I reboot I get a system update nag. I've tried every thing I can think of including clearing cache and data from the 2 software update entries in application manager but it keeps happening. Any ideas?
Thx
It comes after being rooted. Use titanium to freeze system update and Samsung DM.

Well, I didn't either until I flashed back to stock. The phone started throwing the nag before I re roooted. I dunno but the above solution worked.
The system update notification pops up on regularly on stock unrooted phones too. When me & my wife bought our Note 2's they both did this on every boot. My wife's phone is factory untouched and it does it on each boot. My phone is rooted and it also does it on each boot. It doesn't really bother me.
Mine only does it on boot. Which isn't too bad.
search xda for the fotakill apk. push it to system set permissions reboot enjoy.. I've tried freezing things to get rid of it but it caused more problems than it cured.. of course you have to be rooted to push to system
That is not a nag, it is a notification for Sprint users that the phone is downloading the updated PRL from the server. It will do this on every reboot or reset. The PRL is the Preferred Roaming List. It updates the PRL each time the phone boots or resets based on it's current location. The popup is just telling you that it is doing it.

If that nags you might I suggest stress management classes?? Seriously though how often do you reboot/reset your phone that it could be a nag? I mean my N4 has been running for about three weeks now with no reset or reboot.
Can't you just turn of notifications for the system update app?

I was referring to the nag that was mentioned. To him, it was a nag. Your explanation of why it does it everytime, ressurecting this old thread, has no merit towards the problem thats already been solved. If it was a nag to him, it was a nag. Everyone knew why and the purpose of it 'updating'.

It's not updating the PRL. I've had a custom PRL installed and it sticks after multiple reboots. Yet, I can manually update PRL and it will install the Sprint default. Me thinks it's just checking for a software update from Sammy.

Just to let you all know, the latest version of Android Wear is going to start rolling out via an over-the-air (OTA) update to the Moto 360 today! OTA rollouts are always done over a period of many days, so it will take some time to receive your update. For more details about what is contained in this update, please see my previous blog post:

I just got the update too iOS 9.1 turned my 360 into the Iwatch since whenever everybody asks about it " Is that the new apple watch?" No dumbA$$ apple is not the only one that makes smartwatches and phones.
No worries cause I bet my my bottom dollar some joker will no doubt start a new thread about the horrible battery on 5.1.1.
I'm sorry, how do I clean the wear app to try to start the process??
Installed the update, Wi-Fi works with no issues, flick gestures are nice, navigation still smooth, entering settings takes a while, battery seems fine.

So what's the trick to force an update. . . . Just let a wipe and then reload or what. Never had to force an update before.

After updating to build G891AUCU2APK2 on November 24, I notice that if you check the update server it immediately says no updates available. If you checked before twice in one day for example, it would say you had to wait xxx hours before checking again. Could someone who actually did the update check and see if their phone is doing the same thing. I had to advance the data to get the update, but I reset it to correct date and back to auto after updating.

I believe you have to be on Wifi to check for an update, but could be wrong on that.
It is on WiFi. What is happening now after the update is when you go to check for updates, it immediately says system is up to date. It is an instantaneous response, i. e., no spinning while it supposedly checks the server for an update. I am wondering how I'll ever get future updates if it really isn't checking the server. There would have to be a lag while it checks the server plus it does not say check again in xxx hours no matter how many times you check. So, I got the update, but now I'm screwed I guess for future updates.

I would clear the cache/data of the update app via Application Manger, and then reboot.
If you mean the AT&T software update app, the clear data and cache options are grayed out. I cleared the entire system cache partition, but that did nothing.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk
OK, according to AT&T, this is now normal behavior. No more "check back in 24 hours" messages and if your software is up to date, you'll get an immediate response that software is up to date. When an update is actually available, it will connect to the server at that time for download. Rep said they have changed the whole procedure for updates and they should come faster. There will be a couple of small updates in December prior to Nougat they said.
