[Q] Who can fix 4.2 Stock OTA failing with red triangle

It seems several users across the web are reporting that the 4.2 Jelly Bean update over the air (OTA) to their Stock Galaxy Nexus devices is failing after reboot, with a collapsed Android showing a red triangle. I am also affected, and have never seen this many reports before.
Some examples:
http://www.galaxynexusforum.com/forum/galaxy-nexus-help/8116-system-update-fails-why.html
https://www.google.com/webhp?source...b024c3c&bpcl=38625945&biw=1278&bih=1016&ion=1
I am stock GSM Galaxy Nexus.
I am not rooted.
My bootloader is unlocked.
I have tried five times by clearing data in Google Services Framework and applying the update, which downloads OTA and verifies correctly. There is no logical reason an unrooted, untampered with factory stock GN should fail in this way, so I suspect something is wrong at Google's end.
Any ideas from anyone smart and constructive?

That is helpful however my last update to 4.1.2 was also done OTA so I cannot think why I don't have the required radio.
Either way, what is the simplest way to resolve this, without rooting?

Flash correct radio through fastboot. No need to root whatsoever.

D. Type in the commands into the command prompt
1) Make sure your computer recognizes your device by typing: fastboot devices
2) Unlock your bootloader (if you have not already done so): fastboot oem unlock
7) Optional (NOT optional for n00bs) -- Flash the radio: fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxla02.img (or whatever the name is of the radio image that you downloaded).

help , i too am on takju 4.12 stock w baseband xxlf1 and i returned to stock unrooted 4.12 using wugfresh's toolkit and return stock recovery as well .
ive done this 3 or 4 times over the last weekend and now again am downloading the OTA for another try,
I always get the red triangle after a few seconds . Is there a way to get the OTA upgrade to proceed when the red trianlge appears ?
i tried other method to uograde to 4.2 using techfanatics mac instructions but after upgrade the reboot hangs at the multi colored X and will not proceed to boot.
I tried factory reset of CWM but my Nexus gsm still hangs at the multicolored X,, so i went back to Wugfresh's Nexus Root toolkit 1.55 to save me by unroot flash stock back to 4.12 takju. (4 times already)
Any help suggestions would be appreciated, am pulling the 4.2 OTA again and will try again,
If I just stay at 4.12 the system uodate remnder bugs me every hour.

Device not booting after first ROM flash

Hi guys, I am very new to this community and this is my first post. So this is what happened:
I had my One X for about 4 months now, and I was starting to want something new so I rooted it and unlocked the bootloader everything went just fine. So I realized root isn't the only big thing you can do to tweak your device so I wanted to flash a custom ROM. I wanted to customize it so I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1611349 to customize CMOD 10 based on Jelly Bean and flash it to my device. So I finished my custom ROM and wanted to flash it to my device. So I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069904 (post 2 only (of course)).
At first when I tried to flash my custom ROM I didn't make any backup because I had Titanium backup and I thought that it does the same thing as recovery backup (now I know it doesn't) so I don't have the stock ROM on backup. I was disappointed that the device won't boot, it only shows the boot screen "HTC quietly brilliant". And then I saw boot.img I didn't knew what to do with it so I read about it and found out that I need to flash the boot.img before I flash the ROM. So I deleted everything again and done it all over again, but I flashed boot.img that came with the CM 10 first and then flashed the ROM itself. I've done everything correctly and my device still won't boot. It's over 20 minutes and still showing the "HTC quietly brilliant" like before the boot.img.
What should I do and very much thanks for the helpers I don't want to lose my device. :crying:
EDIT: I forgot to mention that this is my first android device.

Okay matey, here's your problem:
You need a special boot.img for your newer hboot version. Check post # 9308 in CM10 thread for link.
Unfortunately GPS doesn't work with this boot.img.

Gps will be fixed when slow-ass HTC releases the JB kernel source code. Until then, you can use Trip's CM10 or IceColdJelly 4.2.1 for working GPS.

It's not working... I clean installed my customized CM10 ROM and then the boot.img you gave me. (I tried vice versa too). It's booting and then restarting to recovery mode.

Probably something went wrong when you customized it. What exactly did you do? Why not just download it as it is?
And when you talked about github.... you mean you built it from source?

I did built it form source. I got in a folder 3 files: 2 folders: system and META-INF 3rd file is boot.img.
I probably don't know what to put in update.zip (what folders) would you tell me?
I customized some colors, battery skin on the status bar and fonts. I also customized build.prop and added adrenaline script so I got another folder named "data".
could you tell me how to pack it all to update.zip? I guess my problem is that.
P.S. I also sign it after packing it to update.zip with auto-signer using java.
THX in advance!

Here's one idea: Download the pre built zip of the rom and use it as a template. Replace all the folders inside with your own, custom ones.

I tried it this is the result... Don't you have an experience with ROM building?

Not sure if you understood correctly.
I meant you should dl the rom from get.cm and then replace the files with the ones you built and modified.
If this is exactly what you did, then I'm out of ideas.
I, in fact, haven't built a rom from source in my life.

I haven't built it from source. I downloaded the base CM10 mod and edited it's files and compressed and flashed to my device. But I am checking another option.

Why not flash the rom as it is and put your own stuff to system afterwards with adb or an file explorer ?

Try to format system then flash custom rom.
If not, flash stock images.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

May be a kernel problem.
Get correct kernel and flash it.
or
Get stock image and flash it from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

Seems a kernel problem to me rather than a ROM problem. Try flashing another kernel like Franco or Fancy, and then dirty flash your current ROM over it. And ya, don't forget to wipe dalvik cache!!
Happened to me a long while ago and above method solved it for me.

Huh? If you flash a ROM after a custom kernel, the ROM kernel will overwrite the custom kernel.. What's the point?
OP, it's probably data corruption OR messed up permissions. first option is fixing permissions in your custom recovery. Reboot. If that doesn't boot fully, format userdata or reflash stock through fastboot.

I'm so sorry, made a typo there. Here I would like to clarify to OP that first dirty flash the ROM so that any files modified by your previous faulty kernel would be changed and than flash a new kernel over it!!

Paste the exact fastboot commands you're using. I'm not helping a user that uses a toolkit to interact with his device, as I don't know where is it failing.

I installed CM yesterday, it boots but I can't stay with the screen on, if I use it for 3 minutes on my phone reboot. Tonight I will do everything again with the ToolKit, back to stock again but now cleaning all the data and I will relock the bootloader :/ That's really sad.

Made flashable though Dsixda's toolkit, Thanks to dsixda for that toolkit!
I can't assure that this works on your Nexus, I ahve tested .zip files myself and works well on my Nexus!
If YOU get BOOTLOOP:
Flash another ROM and then wipe cache and dalvik cache and then flash this ROM!
Flash it at your own risk!
This isn't so good flashable.zip so you may end up to boot loop!
Use Fastboot to fix or any other fixing method!
If you don't have fastboot drivers install them from here: (It's for verizon variant, but works on Maguro)

Initial Review/Impressions:
Install went as smooth as any other flash install. It looks basically the same but the screen transitions are really smooth (note that I have not installed any apps yet, will update when I do). The first major difference you see is with the camera, the interface has been changed a bit and it does look cleaner, all the usual settings are there i.e. Photosphere etc.
I haven't noticed anything else at a first glance but I will keep on updating as I go along and I will also do a proper battery test.
The usual array of Google apps are pre-installed, although now Google Keep is also added, default browser is the regular android browser though, not Chrome. The usual wallpapers and live wallpapers are present, nothing new here either.

Thanks for making this available so quickly

No, only risk is that IF something goes wrong during flash you can say bye to your Device :good: I've done this MANY times and never had problems, so... good luck to you (and me, since I'm doing it right now)

Guys, I spent a long time starting with deodexed 4.1.1 stock, added Xposed module and Blackout theme and swapped in all inverted current apps then reodexed but.....since I changed TWRP above 2.5.0.0 my backup is restoring incomplete. I am sticking with a backup of 4.1.1 because WifiTether works on WiMax but not after 4.1,1 so I want a nandroid that restores fully. Is it because TWRP is full SELinux now?
Sent from my HTC One using Xparent Gray Tapatalk 2

If you take the nandroid with the new version you'll probably have better luck. Only other thing I've seen, and granted this was on my s3, but with one of the versions I couldn't restore unless I kept the screen on during the restore. But I've also seen restore fail because of the first item too after upgrading recovery and then trying to restore a backup made with an older recovery
