Re: [Automated] Wug's Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit v1.3 (Updated 1/2
You need to have stock recovery in order to take the OTA. You can use my latest toolkit to restore it using the "Flash Stock Recovery" button. As long as you are stock, then you can take the OTA. Flash Stock Recovery
You will loose root, but you can easily re-root it with my toolkit.
You don't have to wipe if you take the OTA like that. After you update to 4.0.4, make sure to update your model type in my program to reflect that, otherwise the root process wont work.
When you re-root you can have it reflash CWM: Permanent CWM
So to be clear.
Requirements: You are STOCK 4.0.2, with STOCK Recovery. (it doesn't matter if you are rooted or unlocked)
Instructions:
Simply take the OTA, then use my program to re-root it. Make sure that you use the 'Change..." button under "Your model type:" to update it to reflect that your are on 4.0.4 IMM76K build. Then my toolkit will have no problem re-rooting it.
You can root with or without flashing Clockworkmod (your choice):
Root

Thanks Wug for all the help.
As well as some others I am running 4.0.2. stock rom unlocked and rooted. If I accept the OTA and update to 4.04 I assume I will lose root. Will I have to wipe the phone to re-root or is there a simpler process? I like many others are getting the pop-up notification to update from Verizon and are waiting for someone to post a process here where we can do it safely and possibly without loosing data.
I have backed my phone up with Titanium Backup to (Dropbox) to keep the files off the phone, is it even an issue when updating?
Thank you so much and I hope these questions can be answered for not just me but for everyone who is getting the OTA message and wanting to know what to do next.
Thank you very much,
G
