Installing Android 4.3 on Nexus 4/7/10 (Rooting Guide Included)
As you know yesterday(24th July 2013) Google released the Android 4.3 JellyBean Update for their Nexus Series (4/7/10). I have already Downloaded that and installed that in my Nexus 4 (Those screenshots are from my phone running Android 4.3) but Google would soon start the over the air update for these devices but if you are impatient like me and want to try out this new update right now so just go ahead and do as i Say and you would be booting Android 4.3 in no time.
Case 1: If You Don't Want Pure Stock Android 4.3 Then Do the Following:
If You have a Rooted , Unlocked and having Custom Recovery(Like TWRP, CWM etc.) Then you just need to do the Steps given below:
Prerequisites:
- Download The ROM Odexed or Deodexed,Rooted,Busybox (For Nexus 4 Only) your Choice.
- USB Debugging enabled (By going into Settings–>About Phone–>And Tapping on Build no. 7 times enables Developer Options then open Settings–>Developer Options–>Enable USB Debugging Mode)
- Create Backup Device Storage, Messages, Contacts, Calendars etc.(Note :Because This procedure Would clear all your data and formats your internal Storage.)
- 60% or more battery remaining (This is a recommendation to avoid any uncertain shutdowns during the mentioned process, it might cause issues).
Installing Android 4.3:
- Copy the Downloaded .zip ROM File to your Device's SD card.
- Turn OFF your Device.
- Press VOL DOWN + POWER BUTTON to get into Fastboot Mode.
- Then Using Vol Up and Down keys Select Recovery option.
- Then Select Wipe Data/Factory Reset this will wipe only the System and Installed Apps etc but not your SD card or your music,videos etc that are in your SD card.
- Then Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache .
- Then Select Install From SD Card (CWM) or Install (in TWRP).
- Then Select the .Zip file you pasted in your SD Card Earlier in Step 1.
- And Start Flashing That .Zip.
- Just Reboot and Enjoy Android 4.3
Case 2: If You Want Pure Stock Android 4.3 Then Do The Following:
Prerequisites (If you are Flashing To absolute Factory Stock 4.3 manually):
- USB drivers configured properly. You may either use these amazing toolkits [WugFresh?s tookit | mskip's toolkit] or do it manually using the Google USB drivers delivered with Android SDK (Do it the way you find it easy). Drivers are required to connect your device in fastboot mode over adb interface.
- Compatible USB data cable.
- USB Debugging enabled (By going into Settings–>About Phone–>And Tapping on Build no. 7 times enables Developer Options then open Settings–>Developer Options–>Enable USB Debugging Mode)
- Create Backup Device Storage, Messages, Contacts, Calendars etc.(Note :Because This procedure Would clear all your data and formats your internal Storage.)
- 60% or more battery remaining (This is a recommendation to avoid any uncertain shutdowns during the mentioned process, it might cause issues)
- Fastboot binary (Put the file in <Where ever you are extracting the Factory Image Files For Flashing >/platform-tools)
- Unlock Your Bootloader (If Its Unlocked then you can move ahead and If Locked then See Step 2 in Commands to Flash Your Phone).
Download the required files to your computer and extract them
- All of the files that are required, need to be in one (i.e., the same) directory. It does not matter what it is called, but all the files need to be in there, with NO subfolders. EVERYTHING needs to be extracted into same directory;
- Download the attachment from the end of this post and extract the contents to the directory created in step 1. Note: if all you want to do is unlock your bootloader, skip to step 7 in this section (C).
- Download the version of Android you want from here. Make sure you are using an occam image which is for the Nexus 4.
- Extract the files from within the .tgz file which you downloaded in step 3 using 7-zip, not WinZip or WinRAR or anything else.
- Make sure you have extracted ALL the files (including extracting any files in any archives inside the .tgz file). You should have six (6) files ending with .img in the directory you created in step 1. The other files you extracted from the .tgz are not necessary;
- Reboot your device into bootloader mode (by turning it off, hold volume down, and press and hold power) and plug it into your computer;
- Open a command prompt in the same directory (i.e., make sure you are in the same directory as your files are located). You can hold the shift key when you are in the folder in Windows explorer and right-click in a blank spot and it will open a command prompt.
Type Commands Into The Command Prompt
- Make sure your computer recognizes your device by typing: fastboot devices
- Unlock your bootloader (if you have not already done so): fastboot oem unlock
- You will see a prompt on your device. This will wipe your entire device (including the /sdcard folder). Accept. Note: you use the volume keys to change the option and the power button to accept. You cannot use the touch screen.
- Reboot by typing: fastboot reboot-bootloader
- Flash the bootloader: fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-mako-makoz20i.img (or whatever the name of the bootloader image that you downloaded).
- Reboot: fastboot reboot-bootloader
- Flash the radio: fastboot flash radio radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.84.img (or whatever the name is of the radio image that you downloaded).
- Reboot: fastboot reboot-bootloader
- Flash the system partition: fastboot flash system system.img
- Flash the data partition: fastboot flash userdata userdata.img Note: this command will wipe your device (including /sdcard), EVEN if your bootloader is already unlocked.
- Flash the kernel/ramdisk: fastboot flash boot boot.img
- Flash the recovery partition: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- Erase the cache partition: either a) fastboot erase cache OR b) fastboot format cache ===>option b) seems to work better for most people.
- Reboot: fastboot reboot
- Done! The first boot will likely take quite a bit longer than you are used to, as Android builds the Dalvik cache.
If You Have Any Problem Then Look Down Below:
Now you have a fully stock image on your device. The only thing that is different from out-of-the-box condition is that your bootloader is unlocked. See the notes section at the end of this post for information on re-locking the bootloader.
- Note that some users indicate that they can't get past the X on boot. If this happens to you, reboot into the bootloader and select recovery. Then, when you see the Android with the red exclamation mark, hold power and press volume up to take you to the menu. Wipe cache. If that still doesn't work, boot back into recovery and do a factory reset.
- If you have a 16GB device, and it now shows up as 8GB, reboot into recovery (hold power and press volume up when you are at the screen with the android and the red exclamation mark), and wipe cache. If that still doesn't work, boot back into recovery and do a factory reset. Or do this.
Rooting Your Phone:
Note: I am Not responsible for bricking your phone by your mistakes but the above guide would do exactly as i said if you follow it correctly.
