When the 4.1 ota

**dancing-bass** · 07-02-2012, 12:28 PM

I know what you mean. Esp since this is my first Android and my first time rooting a phone. Happily thanks to Wuggs toolkit, once I found the drivers (and stopped beating my head against the desk in frustration) the rest was easy!

Of course I did boot loop a couple times (from rookie mistakes) but heck... its part of learning!

So, I would assume that if I buy my GNex from the Google Play store, that it is this very version and that Google will update it?

Correct

I downloaded GNofficialUpdate and it says my nexus is Takju. But it says it is NOT updated by google. Any info on this? Sorry if it has been answered already.

GNofficialUpdate was an app released last year, as it was becoming known about the different variants of the Galaxy Nexus image. It is no longer maintained and doesn't know about TAKJU.

The app doesn't do anything special. It's not like it looked online or anything. It just looked in the build.prop file. Then it was a simple "if/then" construct:

if build=yakju then say "supported by Google"
else say "Not supported by google".

(This example is a just that, an example. Not real code.

)

to update GN to 4.1 you can use

personnaly tested on takju, yakju, yakjuxw
2)as somebody said takju, yakju are just manes for software profiles wit no major differences. and these are pushed from google. yakjuXX is pushed from Samsung or SP.

Hey guys, i'm reading this tutorial, my nexus is Yakju. I was wondering why we have to use clockwork mod for Yakju and not Takju?

I noticed that the Yakju section requires us to wipe the factory data as well, why is this? Why can't we just load the rom onto the memory card and install the updated from like Takju?

Sorry if there is something real obvious that i'm not getting.

I'm just going to wait for the official 4.1 from Google for the nexus that I just ordered yesterday.

I'm thinking about waiting for the official update also, when I receive my phone. I downloaded the leaks for both Yakju & Takju just in case though.

Hi. I have a yakju phone myself and followed the yakju instructions but I skipped the step of wiping and it worked just fine and didn't loose anything.

Yeah in general it's best practice to do a full data wipe when flashing significant ROM changes, but not always required. Usually I do a "dirty flash" (no data wipe) and if I get a bunch of errors, force closes, and/or buggy behavior, I go back and do a full wipe and reflash.

Oh so it doesn't matter which type i have, i theory i could do it with just the first method but may run into bugs?

**e2ackbar** · 07-04-2012, 04:38 AM

Does anyone think that the OTA release will be affected by the lawsuit? It seems like it won't, but the patent gripes make me wonder. Has anyone seen anything on the subject? This is my first Nexus and I don't feel quite ready to flash a new ROM yet.

I can't speak for that tutorial but what I did was just go through ROM Manager's built in ROM selection and downloaded stock JB. That zip should work for any GSM Nexus as far as I know. I would suggest a full wipe and remember it won't be rooted and you may have to reflash Clockworkmod via fastboot.

Thanks for the help people. I finally have Jelly bean running and its smooth.

To do it i kind of used a few sources of information, first i used this video:

It runs through a cool tool called "Galaxy Nexus Toolkit". But i also used to information i read on this forum as well as other tutorials.

The Galaxy Nexus tool kit is amazing in all fairness. Opens the phone up with no messing.

This is the toolkit:

I came here to ask this question......now with the Nexus banned from sales will that effect the OTA?

**font1975** · 07-05-2012, 09:13 AM

If they're creating a workaround for the contested parts, it may delay the JB update, yes. If you're concerned that they will no longer push updates to our phones, I wouldn't be.

There's no need to flash a new ROM unless you really want to.

**eminem2k51** · 07-06-2012, 06:04 PM

Anyone flash this rom:

I lost root going to it, and am struggling to get it back...

EDIT apologies, using the rootkit below, I was able to get it back, just had to set the Phone version (in the root tool) back to 4.0.4 (I thought to try Custom ROM instead, since I thought that best described what I was running :/ inexperience rears its head!)
