Where's 4.0.4 ota?

[tw15egan]

Why don't you want to root? It's incredibly simple and would let you have your 4.0.4 now.

All you need to do is flash this and you're good to go. I strongly suggest doing so. I flashed this a couple days ago and my Nexus is a completely different phone than it was even on 4.0.3. Speed, stability, battery life and even signal are all drastically improved. Think about it, I don't think you'd be disappointed.

Considering Verizon has to approve Google's update, there's no telling when or if we'll even get 4.0.4 officially. It may be 4.0.5, 4.0.6 or something else. With Verizon involved you should have NO expectations.

Completely agree, this is why you got this phone! The Dev's over at ( RootzWiki ) are AWESOME! They will answer any questions you have (but try to read the VERY in-depth F.A.Q.'s they have pinned). As far as not wanting to lose anything.. what is stopping you from plugging your phone into your computer, and dragging your videos / music / pictures to your desktop. After you unlock, you can just copy right back.

As far as apps.. well that is one thing that you will have to re-do (Only once though! After that, you can use Titanium Backup, which saves ALL data from your apps, even when you flash custom ROMS!). If your phone is backed up through Google Backup, you may get your apps + homescreen restored :happy3:

They have just released the first two official nightlies in the past few hours. I would certainly check it out. See link below.

I read that whole xda thread earlier today and everyone is having good luck with it! I saw a video review about how stable it was back in kang stage.

I upgraded to 4.04. The only difference i noticed was that the phone now rotates faster when oriented. Battery life is still sub par. Never had any radio issues before and still dont have any.

Rumor is 4.0.4 won't go OTA this month. 4.0.5 will go OTA next month.

We have seen that Google was internally testing Android 4.0.4, but it has been rumored that Android 4.0.5 will be the next version that is pushed out to consumer devices in March.

There is about a zero percent chance of you hard bricking a Nexus. The unlockable bootloader makes it very easy to fix even the most egregious errors.
