Install Android 4.2.2 JellyBean OTA Update on Galaxy Nexus Takju & Yakju

It has been a 24 hour period since the JellyBean 4.2.2 update was On-The-Air for Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Nexus 7 & Nexus 10. Also, we had clean and simple Instructions for Installation of JellyBean 4.2.2 OTA update on Nexus 4 and now we’ll do the same for the GSM Galaxy Nexus, including both Takju and Yakju variants.

You shall update either way by going to Settings > About Phone > Check Now for Update. But in case, you somehow aren’t able to update that way or you are certainly fond of manual flashing rather than automatic updates, then do bother to try this guide. Indulging very simple and few steps, which will directly drop your device to the latest 4.2.2 update.
