Re: [ICS][4.0.4] Official IMM76K Update Thread for the VZW GNex

Does anyone know the difference between this and the IMM30B build model that I'm rocking?

Probably a lot, but most notably the radios/baseband are different. Your build has FA##, while this has FC##.

Edit: OP has been updated with a Dropbox mirror. Please let me know if it works. If I run out of DLs, try again tomorrow/hold tight again for another mirror.

-An updated radio to help with the low signal issues
-Some visual tweaks were added like quick volume toggles on the power menu
-The standard speed tweaks and bug fixes
-Tweaked auto-brightness
-Slightly faster camera performance
-An updated News & Weather widget
-Whatever else you find

So you have to be unlocked and rooted to accomplish this?

I downloaded the update a few hours ago but haven't updated my gnax yet. They must have removed the link to the update soon after I grabbed it.

Here is the dropbox link to the 4.0.4 I grabbed from the link in the OP.

Hmm... I would tend to think probably not a lot difference from the prior leaks actually, nor from the 4.0.4 source. Probably a few hardly noticeable things, and CDMA/LTE props that aren't in AOSP, but are already in all the 4.0.4 ROMs out there. I'm guessing, but smart guessing of course

EDIT: Oh and apparently what Cyber Warrior said above...

Thanks! my next noob question would be: Would I lose all my data if I flash this bad boy? thanks

Correct. There are other methods available (in theory there's a combination of 3-6 if I counted correctly), and they will go up ~tomorrow. The other common method I know about requires using a tool to temporarily flash over CWM recovery. You don't need to be rooted, but you do need to be unlocked to have the custom recovery.

Are you unlocked? If yes, then no, you won't lose your data--but you will lose root. If you're not unlocked, then the act on unlocking will wipe your SDcard.

Re: [ICS][4.0.4] Official IMM76K Update Thread for the VZW GNex

real quick - if you are unlocked but not rooted - you can dl clockwork mod custom recovery and place in the same folder as your fastboot.exe file. also download the 4.04 update to your sd card.

then you boot the phone into fastboot (with usb debugging checked, make sure you have lots of battery and DO NOT DISCONNECT DURING THE PROCESS of all this), open up the command prompt/terminal window, and do the following:

fastboot boot recovery name-of-recovery-file.img

this will boot clockwork on your phone, where you can make a nandroid backup (to be safe), then wipe cache partition and dalvik cache, then install the 4.04 update .zip and reboot the phone when it's done.

Re: [ICS][4.0.4] Official IMM76K Update Thread for the VZW GNex

Noob question alert:
I unlocked and flashed the 4.0.4 build leaked a while ago (root got broken during upgrade and I am too lazy to do it again), so will the OTA ever come in for me? And if it does, will it mess everything up because I am not on 4.0.2? Do I just have to flash this one too? And will doing that wipe all my data again?

Re: [ICS][4.0.4] Official IMM76K Update Thread for the VZW GNex

I'm unlocked and I just flashed the leaked 4.0.4 when it came out. Thanks

THIS. Do you mind if I jack part of it, add some more deets, and put it in the op?

of course please do



you need to navigate to the folder that has fastboot in it - on a pc .... if it's in c: ... say the folder is named "fastboot" ... you enter this:

cd c:\fastboot
fastboot boot recovery recovery-name-filewhatever.img

on a mac, same thing - say the folder is in your "home" directory - folder is named "fastboot" - do this:

cd home-directory-name-whatever-yours-is
cd fastboot
fastboot boot recovery recovery-file-whatever.img

(1) I believe that you're going to need to be on the "latest official" update--the 4.0.2 one--to receive any future update (including this one or whatever comes in its place, etc.)

(2) I would flash this one; if you want to "take" an update, simply take it back to stock, pick it up, and if you relocked/rooted, unlock/root after picking it up. As long as you're stock--may it be 4.0.2 now, or perhaps 4.0.4 later--you can "take" an OTA update. Once you flash something custom, though, you won't be able to receive the update.
