Procedure to Update VZW Galaxy Nexus I515 with Official ICS Android 4.0.4 IMM76K Update:
- Download the IMM76K Update Package from here to your computer, connect your phone to the computer and copy the downloaded zip file in your device. Ensure that you are not placing the file in any of the sub folders as it won’t be detected in the device as if you are flashing this update via clock work mod recovery. Also, if you are flashing from the fast boot method then you need to place this downloaded zip file in the /tools or /platform-tools folder.
- Assuming that your phone is rooted and installed with the custom recovery image, you can proceed to the next step.

Now, in recovery mode, you need to select “install zip from sd card” > “choose zip from sd card” and then choose the “IMM76K Zip Package” which you have placed in your device. The whole process of this update will take around 5 – 8 minutes.
