Verizon Galaxy Nexus Android 4.0.4 IMM76K Update Available For Download
Earlier today, we learned that some Verizon customers were receiving a mysterious Android 4.0.4 update to their Galaxy Nexus without nary a word from Verizon. Well, it didn’t take long for a few modders on on XDA to crack open the update, making a handy update.zip file ready for the flashing. Unfortunately, applying the update this way doesn’t come without a few caveats. First, you will have to be rooted with some kind of custom recovery installed on your device. Second, you’ll have to be running one of the previous official Android 4.0.2 builds — no custom ROMs, no unofficial leaked 4.0.4 builds. If all that checks out, you can get to flashing right away.
Of course, you can always be a good steward, and just wait patiently for the update to get pushed to your device via Verizon’s official channels. Just no telling how long that could take.
