Instructions how to flash the official firmware of the Nexus device (video). Instructions How to flash the official firmware of the device Nexus (video) Firmware LG Nexus 4 Android 6

You are the owner of Nexus 4, but can not update it? Then you have to put the firmware with your own hands - this is not so difficult. Under this guide, you can flash all the original firmware for the smartphone from Google - Android 4.2 and 4.3.

Act exactly according to the instructions and you will succeed! At the beginning of the firmware procedure

sorry that your phone is charged more than 50%!

You will need to install multiple files on the PC. First, install the drivers:

1. Download archive with USB_Driver_r06_Windows drivers, unpack it into any partition on the hard disk (better in its root).

2. Turn off the smartphone and connect it to the PC.

3. At the same time, clamp the on and volume keys down - to start the FastBoot mode.

4. A message should appear on the PC - a new apprate was detected.

5. Go to the Control Panel → System and Security → System → Device Manager.

6. Click on an unknown device with the right mouse button (usually highlighted with a yellow triangle).

7. Select "Update Drivers".

8. Then click on "Follow the search for drivers on this computer."

9. Click on the "Overview" and select the folder into which the contents of the archive were unpacked.

So, the drivers for ADB and FastBoot are installed, and now you can already load them on the PC. To do this, you will need to download the archive (for x86 or x64) then unpack it into the folder in the root hard disk, For example, C: / FastBoot /.

Before starting the firmware installation, you will need to make another action - unlock the bootloader. The smartphone must be all there - in fastboot. Log in to the PC to the folder with FastBoot.exe and AdB.exe files, and press the Ctrl + Shift buttons and right key of the mouse - select "Open commands window". There will be a command line that you need. Enter this code in it:

fastBoot OEM Unlock.

Press ENTER. There will be unlocking the bootloader, the message will appear on the phone, with the question - are you convinced that you need to unlock the bootloader. The answer is convinced. Do not forget that all information will be removed from the phone, so you will need to first think about their safety. Movement by dialog box It will take place using the volume buttons, you can confirm your intentions to the lock button.

To install the firmware, you will first need to download it. These are references to the official firmware Android 4.2, Android 4.3 and Android 4.4. Archive with firmware Unpack the folder with ADB.exe and FastBoot.exe files. It is important that the internal information of the OCCAM-XXX folder (where XXX depends on the firmware name, in the case of Kitkat the folder called occamkrt16s.) It turned out to be at the root of the folder with ADB and FastBoot. Run file. flash-all.bat. And the phone flashing will begin. During this procedure, the device will reboot several times. After installing Nexus 4, it will turn on it yourself.

So the whole procedure for installing official firmware on the phone Nexus 4. Let's hope - that everything will turn out.

Let's start, perhaps, with a little accession. What is a custom firmware? Custom firmware is specially modified and modified firmware or specific useror a group of developers. Any firmware that is not done by the manufacturer is custom. Usually, the firmware data has a great functionality than standard and have better performance. Due to the presence of longer support and a huge number of "buns", many, including me, prefer to use custom.

Video instruction:

If you have questions and comments, write in the comments.

Two weeks ago, in Halloween, Google promised that factory firmware and binary codes Android 4.4 Kitkat for Nexus 4, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 will be published immediately after these devices receive air updates.

And despite the fact that not all the tablets have received automatic update Before Android 4.4 Kitkat, factory firmware with this version of the system (Android 4.4 KRT16O assembly) are already published on the Google server. You can download them and install on your tablet or smartphone yourself. How to do this, read in the continuation.

This news will also please those who would like to return to the stock of Android after installing a custom firmware, such as Cyanogenmod, Paranoid Android, etc.

Note: Keep in mind that if your bootloader Nexus 7. Blocked, during the firmware there will be a complete loss of all your personal data on the tablet. You can unlock the bootloader using the FastBoot program, which will also damage the data. On the Nexus 4 and Nexus 10 Unlock the downloader without data loss, you can use bootunlocker.

Note 2: If the downloader is unlocked, you can install new firmware Without data loss, however, in some cases, after that, the tablet or phone is not loaded, so be prepared for what you have to flash your device with data loss and take care of their backup.

Requirements:

First of all, for the firmware, you will need a computer with Android SDK installed on it, or rather - AdB and FastBoot programs going with it. How to install Android SDK read in this material.

Also, you will use the microUSB cable to connect the tablet to the computer. It is better to use a cable from a tablet delivery kit.

How to unlock the loader on Nexus 7 using fastboot:

1. Connect the tablet to the computer and download it to the bootloader mode (by the ADB Reboot Bootloader command or turning it off and turning it on by simultaneously pressing the on and down volume buttons).

2. Enter the command in the command line (terminal) window:

fastBoot OEM Unlock.

Confirm unlock (volume increases buttons, then inclusion).

Instructions for firmware tablets and Nexus phones

1. Download the factory image with the firmware for your tablet model (for example, Nexus 7 Wi-Fi 2013 has the name Razor, and Nexus 7 Wi-Fi 2012 - Nakasi) from this page of Google. This image contains the system itself, the loader, the factory recovery, the kernel (boot.img) and the radio module (not included for Wi-Fi models). Therefore, if you installed, for example, an alternative recovery, after the firmware it will replace on the stock.

2. Unpack the downloaded TGZ (tar / gz) archive to a separate folder. I use Total Commander for these purposes, but you can use a separate archiver, such as 7-zip.

3. This step is needed if you want to avoid data loss during the firmware:

With anyone text editor Open (carefully! Open and do not run!) Flash-all.bat file (if you have Windows) or Flash-all.sh (Mac, Linux) and remove two characters -W in a string with the FastBoot Update command. For example, if in the line it is written: fastboot -w update image-razor-jss15j.zip, after editing it should look like FastBoot Update Image-Rezor-jss15j.zip. Save the file. (It is the option -w option leads to data cleaning.)

4. Restart the tablet to the bootloader mode, make sure that it is connected to the computer and run the Flash-All.Bat script (or Flash-all.sh on Mac, Linux).

Congratulations, you did it!

For safety reasons (so that no one can remove the screen unlocking key of your device and did not receive access to your data in case of loss or theft of a tablet or smartphone), it is recommended to keep the bootloader in a locked form. To do this, there is a FastBoot OEM Lock command (for Nexus 7) or the Bootunlocker application mentioned above for Nexus 10 and Nexus 4.

Root on tablet or smartphoneNexus after firmwareAndroid 4.4.Kitkat.

Get root for Nexus is very simple. To do this, you will need a unlocked loader and modified recovery. I would recommend you to use TWRP. Download last version TWRP recovery you can from here. To do this, click on the "Get TWRP for Your Device" button and type the name of the tablet in the window that opens (for example - Nexus 10).

1. Connect the tablet to the computer and download it to the bootloader mode (how to do it - read above)

2. Enter the command in the command line (terminal) window:

fastBoot Flash Recovery Name Filelarkavry.img

3. Now you can restart the tablet to a new recovery using the team:

aDB Reboot Recovery.

In addition, the tablet recovery mode and Nexus smartphones can be restarted, turning it off completely and turn on by pressing simultaneously and holding the volume and inclusion buttons.

4. Download the zip file with a new version of SuperSU.

5. Watch the downloaded zip file (without unpacking!) Using TWRP

6. Restart the device, run Play Market And update SuperSU.

Hi friends. Today, you can say, the spontaneous post happened, what it will be, you could already guide the header. The fact is that today the parcel came from the United States, and I became the owner of a new Google LG Nexus 4. And now I have two nexus at once - Samsung Galaxy Nexus and LG Nexus 4 - Maybe I will even write a review comparison if you are interested, but today is not about it.
Yes, who is interested, and I am sure that many are the price of a question of 12k rubles with delivery! But I'm not talking about it again ...

Yes, Pure Android 4 is beautiful in itself - it is convenient, fast and almost perfect. Note that I speak exactly the Android, which is installed in Nexus Google, and not all other phones (HTC, SAMSUNG, SONY, etc.), because They are seriously reworked and changed, alas, not for the better. So what could be better than and so almost the perfect firmware? Improved custom firmware, of course!

Therefore, today I first turned on the phone only in order to make sure that it works at all. When I was convinced of this, I turned it off and took up "dances with a tambourine". On the hot pursuit, I will tell you how to unlock the bootloader on Nexus 4, install recovery and flash any firmware.

In fact, all these dances with a tambourine are not such a dance and not even with a tambourine \u003d) I, as an experienced already user, felt confident, did not worry and did not even do any backup. As it turned out, all the following procedures are fully identical to those procedures that I have done a year ago above Galaxy Nexus. Everything will be simple, I promise!

First you need to prepare a bit and download the necessary drivers:
Swing the USB_Driver.rar driver - use the device to connect the device in Bootloader mode to our PC. And also download the ADB.RAR archive - contains FastBoot and ADB files.

Unpack the FastBoot and ADB archive to the root of the C disc, it should be C: \\ ADB.
Drivers are also unpacking into the root of the C disc, it will turn out C: \\ USB_DRIVER.

Now in battle!

Installing Drivers and Unlock Bootloader in LG Nexus 4

First you need to unlock the bootloader, without this nothing will do.

There are various solutions and even programs that allow you to unlock, get root and install recovery in one click, but somehow do not trust this approach, because the procedure is thin. Although I still tried today to use the Nexus 4 Toolkit 1.3 program, but, as it turned out, you can only download the basic version, and the update is available only after payment, and without updating it is not available to choose android 4.2.2 support. In short - not our option!

Three simple steps and no Ponte:


Is it simple, right?

Installation of custom Recovery on LG Nexus 4

Now we need to install Recovery, without which we simply cannot flash firmware, kernels and any tweaks and mods.

As a recovery, I recommend TWRP Team Win Recovery Project. You can see description and features on XDA in office for Nexus 4, there is always there actual version. At the time of writing this post, the most a new version This is 2.4.4.0. Here is a convenient direct link to download. Downloaded? Great, let's go further.

We have an OpenRecovery-TWRP-2.4.4.0-Mako.img file. If you throw it into the C: \\ ADB folder and rename it in TWRP.img it will be easier in the next step.


Well, the bootloader is unlocked, Recovery is installed. It remains the simplest - install a new firmware. By the way, Root we do not need to get if we are going to put custom firmware, Root will already be there by default.

Installation of custom firmware on LG Nexus 4

For almost a year of using my previous Samsung Galaxy Nexus, I tried a whole bunch of different firmware, often reflashing, spent all sorts of experiments. And you know, once I found the perfect firmware, the dream firmware is ParanoidAdroid. I just can't recommend anything else except for this firmware. But, one way or another - the choice is yours, the installation procedure for different firmware is identical.

Approximately this may look like your Nexus 4 after installing ParanoidAdroid:

Here is a video review of the same firmware, but those who personally did PoranoidAdandroid not use, little will understand:

So, we decided with the firmware, you need to download it. OF.TEMA firmware developers, the same description, links and new versions. You can download the firmware itself in the Mako section on GOO.IM, as well as it will also be necessary to download Google Apps in the appropriate section on GOO.IM.

The firmware and Gapps downloaded, now they need to somehow pour on the phone. If the phone is normally visible in the conductor, you skip the text block below if it does not turn into the phone's memory through the conductor, then read.

Here, a small picking may occur, but only if you do not read this post - because I have all the stakes are solved, and I will definitely write about it!

I sit and connect the phone via a USB with a cable, but charging goesBut in the conductor I can't see it as a folder to throw our archives to firmware there. If you have the same story, then here's a solution!

I do not know why, but Windows decided to install when connecting the phone turned on ADB Driver (meaning not fastboot, namely launched android system). Maybe I somehow did something wrong, but the fact is the fact - the phone folders in the conductor are not visible. I thought that some drivers were missing, google long, did not find anything. I decided to take advantage of the harsh way: we go to the device manager, we see " Android Device. Something there is ADB "- just press it with the right button and choose delete. Turn off the phone and immediately connect back - Windows must re-identify the device and install the correct drivers on it. It helped me, and the necessary Nexus 4 folder appeared in the conductor!

Select the folder Nexus 4 / Inner memory / Download and throw the archives there, in my case it is PA_MAKO-3.10-11MAR2013-131748.zip and PA_GAPPS-full-4.2-20130308.zip. In your case, it will be already newer versions, it is not difficult to understand marks.

When all the archives are loaded, turn off the phone from the computer and turn off. We need to get to Recovery Mode again, for this we climb the VOLUME DOWN + POWER until the FastBoot turns on, where the volumetric buttons select Recovery Mode and press POWER.

If suddenly it happened so that you saw not main screen TWRP (I identify it is very simple, there will be no doubt about this), but saw the Android lying on the back with a red triangle, that is, the way out, and how without him!

To do this, keep the POWER clamping button until the phone does not turn off. Again load in the fastboot, connect the phone via USB and we do a re-scenario installation Recovery.. When the recovery is installed, do not reboot, and the volume buttons we find the Recovery Mode point and select it with the power button. Now it will definitely start TWRP, which means you follow the instructions below.

We will see the main screen TWRP, We click on the top right WIPE button, and then Factory Reset will delete all the data on the phone!

After full reset, it is necessary to return to the previous screen and click on the upper left button Install. On the screen that opens from the folder list, select Download, and then click first on the PA_MAKO firmware file, then add more zips and immediately select the PA_GAPPS file and finally we make Swipe to Confirm Flash. Now firmware and Google Apps applications will now be pasted, about a minute of waiting and we must see the inscription Successful. It is very important to clean all the kesha, for this select the WIPE Cache / Dalvik button. Everything is ready - click Reboot System.

Now the system will be loaded, but already with Paranoidroid firmware. After a long boot, we get into the phone's primary setup menu, where you need to select a language, specify an account, etc.

Actually, it's all! Successes you friends. If you have some questions or suggestions about the firmware process or about ParanoidRidroid - please write in the comments.

Note: On how to access the developer menu on any firmware.

Open the settings, select the "On Phone" item at the bottom, scroll the screen to the "Assembly number" item, it will be written to JDQ39, which corresponds android version 4.2.2, you can be written and something else, it does not matter. Zamkay on this line is 7 times in a row. As a result - the message "You became a developer!" It turns out that it is easy to become a developer under Androind \u003d))) Returning back to the settings menu, we see a new item "for developers".

UPD: If suddenly the phone turned into a "brick" - what to do?

You never know what happens ... That's how today, for example, a colleague bought himself the same Nexus 4 and gave it to me so that I set the custom firmware. Yes No problems - I said, and went to follow my own instructions written above. It happened strange - all the data (zip file image of the firmware, for example), which I poured on internal drive For the subsequent firmware after discharge, they retired, self-sustained for some unknown reason.

In short, the phone turned into a brick, i.e. It does not turn on, and it is necessary to do something. Therefore, the easiest way to roll on the Factory Image, i.e. Factory image so that the phone is similar to what you saw, opening the packaging for the first time. And here is the instruction:

  1. It is assumed that the drivers you have already installed and the phone connects to the computer when it is in FastBoot mode. As well as the loader is unlocked. In short, all the steps are fully done under the "Install Driver and Unlock" heading.
  2. Now download the official phone image from here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occam on this moment The current version is 4.3 (jwr66v), click Link on the contrary and download.
  3. We downloaded the archive OCCAM-JWR66V-Factory-08d2b697.tgz, inside it another archive OCCAM-JWR66V-Factory-08d2b697.tar, and inside several files and another archive image-occam-jwr66v.zip - it is us and Need, we take and carry image-occam-jwr66v.zip in the folder C: \\ adb
  4. Open the command line and write:
    CD C: \\ ADB click Enter.;
    FastBoot Erase Boot Click ENTER;
    FastBoot Erase Cache Click ENTER;
    FastBoot Erase System Click ENTER;
    FastBoot Erase UserData Click ENTER;
    FastBoot Reboot-Bootloader Click ENTER;
    FastBoot -W Update image-occam-jwr66v.zip Click Enter and wait.
    After the last operation, the phone should reboot and turn on.
  5. Now your phone is like new :) And you can repeat what it did not work. Namely, fill the zip archives into the phone's memory and try to flash them again. By the way, we recovery did not touch during the recovery process, so the TWRP remained with you, which means turn off the phone, press the Volume Down + Power, choose recovery and go ahead!

Well, now everything is right!

Before communication friends. And sorry that I stopped writing about SEO often, I promise to correct in the near future.
