NOTE: THIS IS FOR THE GSM VERSION ONLY. DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS ON THE VERIZON VERSION.
PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK. DRAGONS AHEAD ETC.
This is pretty easy to do if you're familiar with fastboot, etc., but you'll need an unlocked bootloader before you can do this.
First, grab the factory images and extract them into whichever directory you have fastboot.
Get the images here: [Only registered users can view links. ]
Then you'll want to reboot into fastboot mode (shut down, then hold vol. up + vol. dn + power), open up an (administrator) command prompt in your fastboot directory and run the following:
(if your fastboot exe is called fastboot-windows, use that in the commands below instead)
ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS FOR THE UNLOCKED INTERNATIONAL VERSION ONLY, NOT THE VERZION LTE MODEL.
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader (wait for bootloader to reboot) fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxkk6.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader (wait for bootloader to reboot) fastboot update image-yakju-icl53f.zip
After this completes, you phone should reboot with 4.0.2.
The difference here is that we didn't tell fastboot to wipe the user data and cache in the final step, so all your stuff will be there once the phone reboots.

Alex, can you give us a URL link to the patch update instead like 4.0.1?
And another question, why I can't seem to install the update for the bug fix, it says "assert failed: file_getprop("system/build.prop". bla bla bla
(status 7)
Installation aborted
Help Please....I downloaded the image and I have the ITL41F. After extracting the files into my fastboot folder I opened the command line and here is where I'm having the issue. The instruction above show fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img, but the file I downloaded shows a bootloader-maguro-primekj10.img. Anyway I exe the bootloader-magura-primekj10.img and all I get is waiting for device. Before you ask my bootloader is unlocked, took me all night to do that. Please help, what I'm I doing wrong.
Followed the steps on "How to manually update GSM Nexuse to 4.0.2).
I was trying to update to 4.0.2 and followed the steps as laid out. The only thing I change was the file names because after downloading the image for my build (itl41F) shows image-yakju-itl41f and bootload-maguro-primekj10. After everything was completed the phone rebooted to the boot animation and I waited over 15 minutes but it doesn't boot, just showing the nexus boot animation and that's it. I took the battery out and tried to reboot without any success. Could you please help me, the phone's bootloader was unlock prior. Thanks.
I guess I was using the wrong image, but now I flash with the icl53f image and still not getting the phone to boot up. Just the animation and thats it. Any help out there....
