Here check this out, that is how I did mine when I first got my phone. Haven't had any problems with my phone, all you need to do is unlock the bootloader. I received the 4.0.2 already as well.

I am proof. After switching to Yakju, I received the 4.0.2 update within 5 minutes.

In all the updates for the i9250 phones, the yakju ones have been updated first and the yakju (as well as mysid for Verizon) come directly from AOSP builds.

All other versions contain region and/or carrier specific data added into the build, thus the updates have come at a later timeframe than the phones running straight up AOSP yakju/mysid builds.

Would not having any carrier related stuff cause harm in any way?

How can we tell what we have?

ARchamps · Jan 17, 2012

Hmm.. how safe is that method? The instructions say you don't need to root. Or did I miss something?

foofighter28 · Jan 17, 2012

i've tested phones for samsung for my work and when they have firmware that needs to be flashed and cant do it OTA they have us do this exact thing. You download the ODIN interface and the driver so your window computer can recognize the phone when you plug it in. and you hit start once COM has been established. It really is brainless, they released this for public consumption so you can imagine it having to be pretty straightforward without too much knowledge. Once complete the device reboots and you check your firmware version etc in the ABOUT PHONE.

@jsd_nj - click the xda link and download that android system info from marketplace and you can see all that

rubiconjp · Jan 17, 2012

Download Android System Info app from market and it will shows what build came with the phone.

The ODIN method in #2 post on XDA is straight up conversion to official yakju with no rooting, no unlocking needed.

Yes, I used this method when I first got my phone and found out I was not on Yakju, worked flawlessly.

kylecummins · Jan 21, 2012

do I need to unlock my bootloader before doing the steps in post #2 on XDA forum?

kylecummins · Jan 21, 2012

nevermind, i followed the post and am now running 4.0.2 yakuj .

Considering rooting now but not sure I want to.

Ive heard google wallet will work for me with root, and i also wouldnt mind the inverted gmail widget!

Hi everybody, I just got my Gnexus on January 13 in Canada and it's still running Android 4.01, I tried to update manually through system update but nothing is found.
I'm running Yakjuux, does anybody know where that's from?
should I change to Yakju or wait it out?
Thanks.

kylecummins · Jan 22, 2012

Really up to you, im in canada too and had yakjuux as well.

Did the process from xda thread and within 10 minutes recieved 4.0.2

Will it void my warranty if I change to Yakju? or is there any side effects from doing this?
thanks!

kylecummins · Jan 22, 2012

i dont think it voids the warranty. But im not the person to ask

Okay thanks for your fast response.
I'll give it a shot today and change it to Yakju, it's better to stay on google's update path.

Take care.

Will installing a yakju rom allow for future updates? Or would flashing a new yakju rom be necessary?

stenzor · Jan 22, 2012

kyle, when you flashed the yakju build you flashed it to 4.0.1 and then did 4.0.2 OTA right? What baseband do you have now? Just wondering because I flashed directly to 4.0.2 myself and didn't flash the baseband because I wanted to keep it Canadian-specific
