Would you please explain a little ?


Do you know how to take a screenshot with your phone? the key combination is volume down button + Power button.

Pls go to the phone settings > About Phone > and take 2 screenshots of this page all the way to the bottom and post the image in this thread. We'll help accordingly

What do you mean by CDMA ? I don't know, I bought it from a local store in Lahore with Teletec Pakistan warranty


CDMA are phones that work without sim. GSM phones are the ones that need SIM card.

Basically there are two ways you can upgrade your phone. One is OTA updates. By going into about phone> Software update and checking if there are any available for your phone. OTA is the normal way.

The other is by manually putting the desired firmware on your phone using a recovery software. You will need to unlock the bootloader of your device which kills the warranty. After that install a recovery software called CWM. CWM can manually install whichever firmware u need....

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604218 <<<The correct CWM to be install on your device can be found here. I recommend reading up on it and going thru the thread before attempting anything.....

...The other thing u need is the firmware u want to install. The person who posted above gave you a link to factory images that can be installed on galaxy nexus.

This one should be compatible jellybean for your "Yakju" device.



The XDA forum will provide you instructions on how to install firmwares, CWM and other apps. This requires a bit of advanced knowledge therefore i recommend you get into the forum and read up on how things work before attempting anything.

Smartphones are expensive these days. YOu dont want to brick the phone and use it as a paper weight later on. Therefore be very very sure what you are doing. :)


Happy flashing and jellybeaning!

the best option is to go look on xda forums, lot of threads relating to upgrade but you will loose your warranty.
