Is there a guide for upgrading a Nexus to Jellybean from WIND stock 4.0.2?

[melona]

I'm completely phone illiterate and some guides out there can be very intimidating for new users.

I just want to upgrade to Jellybean and see what all the fuss is about.

Thanks guys!

Just wait for Jelly bean. It's supposed to be rolling out right now

Remember that bootloader unlocking wipes your internal sd card! So copy those photos and videos to your computer.

If you're on 4.0.2, you're not getting updates from Google, so this update won't reach you.

There is no "SD card". There are some nice easy tools out there that will do an adb backup, unlock, flash/update, and adb restore for you. But I'd recommend finding someone comfortable to do it for you (if you're not).

The Toolkit -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1392310 , will pretty much do it all for you pretty nicely. It can do the back up of your SD Card, Unlock the bootloader, Root, Flash CWM.

Are you sure? This article doesn't seem to discriminate. http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/10/a...-nexus-google/

If your right that is jut BS. I bought this phone to get updates when they are availabile, not to wait for Samsung.

The OTA is a 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 update. If you're not on 4.0.4, you will not get it. You need to be on yakju or takju (not yakjuxx or whatever it is) to get these updates.

Ya I checked with XDA and that is what they are saying. Not sure why no one seems to be mentioning yakjuux. I'll wait a few more days then I guess I'll try to flash my phone.

I had yakjuux 4.01 stock and updated it to yakju 4.04 then it magically updated to Jelly bean OTA. It was a pain in the butt finding a way for a Mac user but I just googled it and found a few different methods after you unlock the boot loader. If you use Windows it's much easier. I couldn't be bothered to root it as that seemed to difficult. But also found a way around to work around Google Play Music so have access to 20,000 of my songs in the cloud. Woo hoo

Do you have the link/guide you used for a Mac? I'm in the same boat as you and it's frustrating to see my wife have it already on her Nexus S.

I agree they can be confusing...I am still on 4.01 with ZERO updates! It really pisses me off. especially when I see the Nexus S with 4.04 through the OTA update.

Actually the Nexus S is getting Jelly bean.

What's there to be pissed off about? It's not like the phone isn't getting the new software, just your version. Blame our stupid Canadian carriers.

Also, I don't see how rooting has anything to do with this...

Well that is what pissed me off. Its a Google phone so it should get update as they are released and not months afterwards. I'm pretty certain that most people were caught a bit off guard by this since this is the first G phone that has this problem. The reason people like myself bought the phone was to get updates right away. None of this waiting. And to see the previous G phone get the update before my phone was just unacceptable to me. I was going to wait, but after seeing the above link, I decided not to wait.
