Yup. Need to get ClockworkMod/TWRP/custom recovery on there to flash the package.

For those wanting to root, this should do the trick:

Flash that zip in recovery, update the binary, then update the app in Play Store.

Why do you want to flash the recovery? Shouldn't you just faboot boot into recovery so that the recovery image is preserved? This is how we did it in the past and should still work.

Matter of preference. Either will work.

Well, we did it that way before because you needed to have the stock recovery intact. Is that no longer the case? Also, doing this way would allow you to roll back and update officially when that does become available. Otherwise, you have to flash the stock recovery back. The only way I see doing that is installing it through fastboot, which requires a wipe.

Ok for anybody that wants this info. I followed the steps and put the OTA jellybean on. I then used Wugs to flash back to IMM76K with no problem at all. So anybody that wants to have jelly bean now but also wants to be able to get the OTA when its official can use wugs to get back to IMM76K to get the update

This is how I've done and I've had great success. I advise what I know.

Installing via fastboot does not wipe a thing. Sure, it gets rid of the custom recovery, but it doesn't "wipe" anything, unless it did in the past. If recovery is all they need (since they need stock images to take an OTA), then simply fastbooting it is easily doable. The Q update didn't change recovery AFAIK.

Can you flash the new radio's on stock ICS IMM76K?

Yes. Radios are backwards compatible; doesn't really matter what rom/OS you're on.

However, remember, you must be unlocked with a custom recovery in order to flash them.

If I'm already on K, can I jump right to Q? I tried it but got an error code (7 I think).

What'd you do when flashing Q?

I flashed with CWM, found the zip file and tried to update. It stopped within a few seconds and gave an error code. I'll run it again and hopefully remember the code this time.

It wouldn't hurt to try wiping the device before that. But having just watched and seen a Q update from K, I can confirm it works lol.

I'm unlocked and rooted, can I just flash the zip in cwm over the custom rom?

Re: [OTA] Semi-Official Jelly Bean JRO03O for the Verizon GNex

I'm already running JB from the JRO03L rom. How can I go about just installing the new radios? Sorry getting to JRO03L was my first root job so it was a little easier being a whole package fix. Not sure how to fix just the radios.

Also another question, i keep getting the app notification to update SuperSU. Is it a simple update like updating any other app or do I have to uninstall the current version and so forth? I wasn't sure since this was put on through using the wug tool.

On another note thanks so much for all your help thus far! I couldn't have been running JB for the past month if it were not for all of you guys!
