Samsung Galaxy Nexus - Says I have a System Update but I don't.

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, and for the past few months I have had constant notifications saying I have a system update available. When I attempt to let the update install, the phone reboots and comes up with the Android image and a loading bar. The loading bar gets half way, then the install stops and the Android image becomes led down with a red exclamation mark.

I have already had my phone replaced once, it got replaced for a couple of reasons; one of them was this issue.

I have phoned O2 customer services before, the only advice I got was to try the Samsung Kies software. After messing around with it for a while, I found out the software doesnt support my phone.

I have googled the issue but cannot find a solution. I have tried various options in the recovery boot menu but all it does is prevent the update notification coming through for a couple of days.

Any help would be appreciated

What does *#1234# give you?
Where did you get the phone ?

Connection problem or invalid MMI code.

I got it from the O2 shop on pay monthly.

It's not looking good for the handset unfortunately....

Is it not possible that the code doesn't work because of the phone model? A few things that work on other models dont work on the Galaxy Nexus.

Yes, entirely possible, but I was looking for FW on Sammobile and all they had was Luxembourg or Netherlands, so flashing updates via Odin doesn't seem possible either. I am guessing the bootloader is locked and only O2 (or other tools) can help you with that.
