Nexus All models Factory images released..

So now, you can get your phones updated to Jelly Beans (If you haven't got yourself updated yet) with official images.

Official Images also comes handy if you have screwed up your phone by putting in some nasty custom roms.

To Install the factory images there are some small BABY STEPS that you need to take.

I have already posted the method to install the factory image for 4.0 in my previous post which is here : http://abhinavasblog.blogspot.sg/2012/06/installing-custom-rom-on-galaxy-nexus.html

All you need to do is instead of downloading 4.0 OS build you need to download it for 4.1


The entire list of changes in Jelly Beans from ICS is provided here : http://www.android.com/about/jelly-bean/

Happy Jelly Beans... :)

Unfortunately you don't get option to update your device. Well its not same with people who already have patched and have been using 4.1 from my previous posts.

I'll help you get the latest updates with a both the devices. (With the Patches and Without the Patch)

Lets start (For users with nothing fancy in their phone i.e their phone is still running stock ICS)  :

1. You need to install CWM recovery. (Don't worry this will be erased as soon as you update your device to latest version. )
2. Follow the link upto step 2. There is no need to do step 3.
3. Now start your device and copy the relevant zip ion your SD card. (Check in settings to know which zip should you download. )
4. In case you want to change your build version. Please follow this link (We have installed TAKAJU) and then install custom recovery from step 2 again.
5. Now follow these steps

Copy the zip to Device.

Switch off your device 

Start your Phone by pressing Volume Up + Volume Down + Power

You device should start in bootloader mode.

Use Volume up and Down to navigate for Recovery Mode

Press Power button to go into recovery 

Select Install zip from Sdcard 

6. Restart the phone.

Now for the users who already are using Jelly Beans 4.1
Download the file on your computer. (People who have used my previous posts to update their phones need to use takju-JRO03C-from-JRN84D.)

Use following commands

1. adb reboot bootloader
2. Choose recovery mode
3. You will see an exclamation mark on screen with android logo press and hold Volume up and Power button for approximately 10 secs.
4. You will see a recovery screen 
5. Choose option update using adb
6. adb sideload Downloads\update_jelly.zip

That's it. 

Once done you will be running on 4.1.1 version of Android OS.
