How do I update my Nexus through the computer? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hello everybody,
I own a Samsung Galaxy Nexus and since the 4.2 Android update was available I checked my updates and it doesn't show up where my friend's nexus 4 got it immidiately.
My question is, what's the potentional causes of this, and could updating from the computer solve this (also how do we update from the PC, I am really new to the Android world) ?
Thanks a lot.

Follow this guide.
Note that if you have the Verizon version there's no official 4.2 available as of yet, head over the development section to grab a 4.2 ROM instead.

If you have the VZW nexus, you won't get it. It has already been pushed out to the other ones.

Actually, this guide is the one to update incrementally with: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419170.
Also, you could adb sideload your update, if you're fully stock, google it from android police, i believe...

Galaxy Nexus Not Finding Updates

Hi
I purchased my Galaxy Nexus when it first launched back in November from Handtec, the current firmware on my device is version 4.0.2. But for some reason it does not get the notification for OTA updates. I understand from reading the forums that the current version is 4.0.4 and that was pushed over two weeks ago. My device has not gotten the notification to update, I tried the framework suggestion that was suggested on another thread but I got no result I also tried the "check in" code and had no luck. My current carrier is AT&T, is my Nexus defective? Can somebody please help?
Thank you

If your phone is anything but yakju then your in for a wait. Also the 4.0.4 roll out has stopped until google fixes the signal issues some people have.
How can I identify if my phone is a yakju ?

Dude please read a bit. This exact thread exists every single day of the last week.
Check your version with this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.cbruegg.officialupdate
But the thing is that even if it is "yakju" (updated by Google). The 4.0.4 update has been stopped because it causes radio-related signal drop issues for some users. They recently issued a small 4.0.4 "fix" for it. Once things are sorted out, presumably 4.0.2 users will get moved straight up to the latest 4.0.4.

Galaxy Nexus Yakjup Update from 4.0.4

Dear All
I currently own a Galaxy Nexus GSM phone. I bought it here in the UAE from Samsung. I installed the Android Info app, and found that my phone is a yakjup build phone. I am having difficulty getting the update for jelly bean that has already been rolled out nearly 5 months ago. I am wondering if someone can specify a link to an easy guide or specify instructions to follow so that I can change my phone to a build that can receive the updates automatically OTA from Google.
Thanks

1. Search
2. Follow this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
In short, your build is still on 4.0.4, if you want 4.2.1 you'll have to change to yakju/takju

Which exact model do you have? You wouldn't happen to have the Verizon version? If so, that is the latest update that's been approved and released by Verizon. My recommendation would be to unlock the bootloader and install a custom ROM.
hi
i just found out that i have a yakjuxw
I don´t know much about installing custom rom´s and thought it would be easy to fix this by changing a setting or so
I will wait till i get an automatic update

At the speed of Samsung, you will probably get the update in 6 months or so. If that isn't fast enough, the following guide would help to get you current:

[Q] Problem after updating to Android Version 4.3

Hi
I recently had an update to my Nexus 7 (Original Version) and since then it seems very slow to boot up and when I log in with my password the virtual keyboard seems to change between numeric and script by itself.
The problem only seems to be at login and seems to require a waiting period between switching to numerical/script on the keyboard. The keyboard seems to work OK once the Nexus is in use.
Does anyone else have this problem since updating to Android Version 4.3?
My device isn't rooted.

Why you post here if you said that you have the Original Nexus 7? You should ask here:

Probably because my bookmark for my tablet took me here. Didn't notice it had changed since the new version came onto the market. I have now reposted this on the correct forum.

Confirming lack of ability to upgrade past 4.2.2 on Tab 3 Lite (SM-T110/SM-T111)

Hi all,
Just rooted my device for the first time today using TWRP and flashing SuperSU. I was hoping it was going to give me the ability to upgrade my device to a stock android version of Lollipop. As I'm looking around it seems like that is not supported by the community. I have used the search bar and haven't come up with much, except a few old threads when Lollipop was just released.
I found this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2755532 that suggests nobody has modded it past it's final android update 4.2.2. The only difference it seems is it gets rid of some of the uninstallable Samsung and Google apps.
I just wanted to confirm that there is no development going on past 4.2.2 for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite (SM-T110) before I flash a new ROM from the list.
Thanks.

I would also like to know, I bought the tablet today for my son, but never checked about the android version, and now i can't update the kids mode on it,so being to get it to update would be brilliant, if not i'll have to take it back and exchange it for one that has a newer version.
Maybe in the future:
