0 Android 4.1.2 OTA For Yakju Galaxy Nexuses Now Available For Manual Installation


If you've been waiting for Android 4.1.2 to hit your GSM Galaxy Nexus (yakju), wait no more. Google has uploaded the OTA file, so you can manually install it. Yay for you! Here's how to make it happen.

First and foremost, you'll need to meet a couple of prerequisites:

  • You must be using a yakju device. Not takju, yakjuux, yakjuxw, or any other variant. If you're not sure what build is on your phone, crack open /system/build.prop and see what it says.
  • You must be on build JRO03C.

So long as those qualifications are met, you should be all set. Grab the download and get ready to flash.

Like with all GNex manual installations, there are a few different ways to apply to OTA, depending on your setup: stock recovery, unlocked bootloader; stock recovery, locked bootloader, root; stock recovery, unlocked bootloader, no root; and custom recovery, unlocked bootloader.

Fortunately, there's an excellent thread over at XDA with detailed step-by-step instructions for each possible scenario. I recommend reading through the entire set of instructions before beginning - once you're ready, give it a whirl.

Enjoy.
