I updated to 4.3. Although I wiped because I wanted to get rid of all cruft on my phone. You can easily do so without wiping.

Download factory images, extract bootloader, radio, system and boot images and run following commands

fastboot flash bootloader <bootloader image>

fastboot flash radio <radio image>

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

This will update your phone to 4.3 with all apps and data intact.

[Nexus 4 General] geekovary:

Darn, we are MAKO, not MAGURO ? Correct ?

HELP!
[Nexus 4 General] harsh.ea:

[Nexus 4 General] adidas007:
Maguro was gnex if I am not wrong. You must have flashed the wrong zip
[Nexus 4 General] geekovary:
Yeah, did figure out that, Maguro is for Galaxy Nexus. 50% download still to go, arrrghh, speeds at this time of the hour!

How to Force Android Devices to Update Over-the-Air​

To bypass this plan and manually force the hand of the carrier, there is a trick procedure which must be performed. Whenever you hear news about a new Android version arriving for your handset, here’s what you need to do:

1. Head down to the Settings menu of the phone.

2. In the Apps tab click on show All.

3. Scroll down to find the Google Service Framework and tap it.

4. Now click the Clear Data button and then on OK.

5. Tap on Force Stop and then on OK to confirm.

6. Go back to the Settings menu and reach the About Phone page.

7. Under System Update, tap on Check Now and the Android device should be updated to the latest version.

Why do you always worry for ota updates. 4.3 already leaked before Google release soooooo why always same thing of ota update bro.

This was ur reply to me & now u r posting something related to OTSA bro... :p

@ those who are on stock 4.2.2 - did u receive OTA notification ?
[Nexus 4 General] harsh.ea:
Not yet
[Nexus 4 General] ayusharad:
I'm going to update through Google AOSP developer images as 4.3 image for nexus is live there now, will post results as soon as I finish updating it

---------- Post added at 02:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 AM ----------

For those who are expecting OTA, I think rollout will be even only after week or so
[Nexus 4 General] RohanM:
not a week. Roll out starts from today itself.
[Nexus 4 General] ayusharad:
I respect your sentiments my friend but don't expect it to come before a week to our nexus
[Nexus 4 General] RohanM:
For those who are inpatient like me to wait for OTA... Go ahead & download factory image of 4.3 from Here & follow below steps.

Prerequisite you must have your PC configured to support the fastboot command and you must have CWM or TWRP installed [ Only if u don't want to lose any of your data other wise flash stock recovery ]

open the file called image-occam-jwr66v.zip and extract all content files or at least boot.img, recovery.img and system.img.

In the same directory you leave the above files and 2 IMG coming out of the zip and tgz falling within the following:

Once count on the structure and the previous image files, you should turn off your phone and turn it on in fastboot mode (volume down + power) and connect your phone to your PC and execute the following commands:

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-mako-makoz20i.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash radius-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.84.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Tip - Give Enter after each command.

After the last reboot you select the option to start in CWM recovery or TWRP and reformat the cache and the dalvik cache, reboot and expect up Android 4.3 :)

Enjoy...
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
This works I did it for 4.2.2 OTA. However you need to do it couple of times in a day. Just doing it once won't work.

The downside is everytime you do that, your phone will be delisted from Google Play for couple of hours.
[Nexus 4 General] Rohit02:
Guys a quick noob question.

I am rooted and unlocked, with stock rom,kernel and recovery. So my que is if I get the OTA update will it erase all my data? But obivous it will unroot and lock the bootloader but what about data?

When I restored stock recovery and through flashify and rebooted it gave a error sign "Android with exclamation mark", what happened? Rebooted and I was on the main screen but why that happened.

TIA. :)
[Nexus 4 General] saintsinner25:
I suppose i'm the only one who's gonna stick with android 4.2 for a while :P till any of the AOSP rom teams release it
[Nexus 4 General] rkkaranrk:
I'm with u. :P
[Nexus 4 General] saintsinner25:
or scrap that,curiosity seems to be prevailing. :P
[Nexus 4 General] josinpaul:
No. Add me too.In fact i'm on PA3.69 and am gonna wait for their update.:highfive:

Are there any one who had flashed factory image? If so how is the new radio? Any improvement in signal quality?
[Nexus 4 General] adidas007:
Same :D most likely it's coming today or tomorrow.
[Nexus 4 General] rkkaranrk:
I think its not really worth doing all the steps flashig stock locking BL to just get 4.3 OTA. Or flash the file. My personal opinion:p
[Nexus 4 General] RohanM:
No need to lock bootloader to get ota.
[Nexus 4 General] mor_1228:
You are rooted and unlocked so u will not get the ota update. U need to make ur device as it was out of the box when u purchased it and even that is 100% not sure because nobody got the ota till now and I guess before ota finally starts people will be already on 4.3 flashed from different sources.

---------- Post added at 10:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 AM ----------

I tried 4.3 most annoying thing was that when I tried to restore my swift key data which I have saved over few months was not getting restored only app was getting restored. It was showing that key strokes I saved was 0 and all I have to set up again no for the time 4.3 is no for me.
[Nexus 4 General] RohanM:
Wrong. Whether u have locked or unlocked bootloader ia nothing to do with an OTA.
[Nexus 4 General] mor_1228:
Did u read he is rooted also. Let see if he gets update or not.
[Nexus 4 General] RohanM:
I was only talking abt bootloader status.
[Nexus 4 General] saintsinner25:
i flashed 4.3 right now..played around a bit seems fancy and all but feels REALLY empty without toggles,profiles etc etc.back on liquidsmooth.and +1 to that how's the new radio?
[Nexus 4 General] mor_1228:
Why only bootloader status when he clearly mentioned rooted. If u want to prove someone wrong then atleast give proper reasons with proof why to confuse people we are here to help not to confuse and increase problems.
[Nexus 4 General] RohanM:
If u can read then plz read my comment again. I was only mentioning about bootloader status and never said that whether he will get OTA or not. Just said that u are wrong on the bootloader status part. I hope I made myself clear now.
[Nexus 4 General] mor_1228:
we are not here for fight so i will request u to stop posting like these posts in open forum.

we have PM feature also on xda so u can use that instead of this. :good:
[Nexus 4 General] sohamssd:
Hi, I restored my stock nandroid backup, so now I'm on stock, rooted with bootlader unlocked and twrp.

To unroot, can I tick "permanent unroot" in the super user app?

Also, after that I'll just flash stock recovery right? No need to lock and unlock the boot loader right?:)
[Nexus 4 General] RohanM:
Yup just flash stock recovery and u r good to go. Forget abt bootloader.
[Nexus 4 General] sohamssd:
Thanks a lot dude. I've never done an ota before(as i owned an HTC one v ) so I didn't know.. I've never unrooted too
[Nexus 4 General] mor_1228:
yeah this method should work nothing is 100% guarantee so give it a try yes no need to lock bootloader otherwise u will loose ur internal memory. do make a backup of internal memory.

[Nexus 4 General] RohanM:
^^ Technically we will not receive OTA. But let's see...

Also If u go to developer site of Google they have not uploaded JDQ39E. May be because Google never release N4 here. It was LG. I hope I am wrong in this. Hope ppl.
[Nexus 4 General] rkkaranrk:
Chill guys if this is regarding my post then I will want my phone to in position when it first came outta box, to get the OTA, U never know when things get dirty for some unknown reason.
[Nexus 4 General] mor_1228:
that's not completely true i read somewhere that jdq39e update was so small that google need not launch separate update for us. so we will get ota updates like all other.

Hi Rohan and mor, I was just thinking about this. Doesn't the ota flash a new boot loader? If so then will it keep the BL locked?

That is just an assumption. Not sure abt that.

Lets see...
[Nexus 4 General] mohitgalaxy3:
Its the best I have ever used on my N4, getting -59 to -56 inside my room earlier it was in -65 to -70.

Happy with the 4.3 update I didn't wipe my data just flashed it using toolkit and enjoying the stock kernel, screen colors also have improved for now on I don't feel like flashing a custom kernel.
[Nexus 4 General] saintsinner25:
well i'm still on cm10.1.2 stable cause it feels really empty with profiles,torch,expanded desktop etc imo.gonna flash the new radio asap.btw can IMEI corrupt on nexus devices like samsung devices?
[Nexus 4 General] Nil253259:
Hi Rohan,

If I upgrade to 4.3, will it be possible for me to restore my backed up PA ROM? or would face any issue with bootloader or anything like that?

not sure bro never tied i guess u should try and be a guide for us :p

while flashing go to ur electricity meter and shut down the MCB :silly: snd then post ur result here loll. just a joke :highfive:

---------- Post added at 12:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 PM ----------

many questions are unfolded till now and they will get clear as time passes so guess we all should wait instead of taking some wrong step and banging our nexus 4. there is no hurry for 4.3 as we were surviving before 4.3 also.

i am also not taking any risk and waiting for proper guide.

i faced 1 problem with 4.3 is that i was not able to restore data properly with titanium backup apps are getting restored but data not like my switkey had over 1 lakh key stroke saved my personal word but in 4.3 it was completely new :(

so i will wait few days more.

---------- Post added at 12:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:41 PM ----------

Mor_1228, I was reading a thread, and the user mentioned even he was not able to restore data in TB. This is because su is still not properly implemented, it'll be fixed soon:). Not a problem of rom:)
[Nexus 4 General] saintsinner25:
lol if i had faltu ka money lying around id do it! xD
[Nexus 4 General] mohitgalaxy3:
Why did you format the data ??

I flashed simply using toolkit without flashing userimage so no loss of data and it's damn easy as well.
[Nexus 4 General] rajat_red:
Ok so a quick noob question: My N4 is rooted via Framaroot/BootUnlocker method. Will I still receive OTA update?
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
Looks like there is lot of misconception in this thread about OTA's. I've got 2 OTA's till date 4.2->4.2.1 and 4.2.1->4.2.2.

You will get OTA as long as you are on stock ROM. Unlocked/Rooted doesn't matter.

To make sure the installation of OTA is successful you need to be on

1) Stock ROM without mods

2) Stock recovery

3) Stock kernel

4) Proper version of radio

If you are rooted, you will get the OTA and will be able to apply it. You might loose your root though so need to flash SuperSU again.
[Nexus 4 General] mohitgalaxy3:
Hmm, welcome to N4 forums brother
[Nexus 4 General] mor_1228:
lets hope this can be fixed so that i can move to 4.3

because i flashed the leaked version deodex yesterday.
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
As long as you are not in middle of flashing bootloader itself then nothing wrong will happen. Just boot into fastboot and continue flashing when the current comes back.

If that happens while flashing bootloader itself then you will have a nice hard brick which can be revived only using JTAG or a motherboard replacement.
[Nexus 4 General] saintsinner25:
Oh..in that case i'm better off using my laptop.glad i installed the drivers/adb/fastboot last night on it.how much would LG charge me for changing my motherboard?
[Nexus 4 General] rajat_red:
Thanks Atul! You mentioned one needs to have stock recovery. I have TWRP 2.6 recovery flashed, so that means I'll have to flash the update manually?
[Nexus 4 General] mohitgalaxy3:
Lol you could have wait for 12 hours.

Hi Guys, just need an info, I read this thread & found that indian nexus 4 got jdq39e fw.

Is it possible to install jdq39 in indian nexus 4 without rooting it?
[Nexus 4 General] mrHoldol:
I am not sure but as I understand, the file is first pushed to the phone before flashing and then flashing is done on the phone... So, as long as the phone is powered ON, there should not be any problem even if PC/Laptop switches OFF... But I am just guessing...
[Nexus 4 General] shanmu:
How to find whether mob is under stock recovery or custom recovery?
[Nexus 4 General] mohitgalaxy3:
Yeah, download the factory image and falsh it using toolkit.

But instead of doind this for jdq39, download the factory image of 4.3 and flash it.

---------- Post added at 01:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 PM ----------

Go into recovery.

press vol down and power button and then select recovery from there.
[Nexus 4 General] mor_1228:
did u install custom recovery if not then its stock.

switch off >> press volume -key down key and then while holding switch on ur device u will go into bootloader.

[Nexus 4 General] sohamssd:
That's all nonsense don't listen to it.
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
All Nexus 4 should be updated by Google. Iincase Google does not update it because of JDQ39E firmware then all you need to do is flash stock 4.3 images and you will be on par with Play Store Nexus 4. After that you should get subsequent OTA's.
[Nexus 4 General] shanmu:
Is multiuser profiles and auto complete keypad working in 4.3??
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
Multiuser profiles are tablet specific feature. It won't be there on stock Nexus 4 4.3 update. You will need to wait for custom ROM's to enable that feature.

---------- Post added at 02:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 PM ----------

There is an extra ril library librilutil that's present in 4.3. Not sure if it's just restructured code or some extra code. So .83/.84 radio might not work well with older android versions.
[Nexus 4 General] josinpaul:
No worries i have no intention to go back from PA3.69, i like to go forward from 3.69

Hey guys . I have an Indian nexus 4 ... I was messing around with it (rooting and unlocking and locking boot loader ) but then I wanted to go back to stock everything . but as I can read I have now JDQ39 build of ROM and not JDQ39E ... Can anyone tell me how can I make my phone the way it came (JDQ39E) and stock radio and stock everything which is in INDIAN nexus 4 not in the US play store version
[Nexus 4 General] mor_1228:
I guess u can't because we don't have factory images of 39E. Flash 39 version
[Nexus 4 General] veteran_troller:
Haw.... So there is no way I can come back to the Indian version of ROM ?:eek:
[Nexus 4 General] mor_1228:
As much as I know u can't and don't worry there is not much difference.
[Nexus 4 General] veteran_troller:

How do we check radio version?
[Nexus 4 General] Rohit02:
Go to settings>about phone and the look at the baseband version the last two digits are your radio version. .33 or .48. or .54 or .83 or .84 ;)
[Nexus 4 General] mor_1228:
This problem will only last for few hours then it will be fine. Do a couple of restart after sometime
[Nexus 4 General] veteran_troller:
Thanks ! Ohh my lord I have .48 !!!! DAMN!! guys tell me what to do to update it ???? Without rooting obviously .... And also tell me because Indian version have JDQ39E and I have only JDQ39 so that means that when I get android 4.3 and when Indian version JDQ39E will get 4.3 will then also my nexus 4 would be not the same as Indian version?
[Nexus 4 General] mohitgalaxy3:
paste the error.

---------- Post added at 04:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

chill man .48 works better than .54, and wait for 4.3 OTA or flash the stock images.

.84 is much better than .48, .54 in my opinion.
[Nexus 4 General] Rohit02:
Dude relax I bought mine from australia its the same JDQ39 with .48 radio as default when I got. Just be total stock and have some patience and you will get the update. :) Chill. :good:

ok try this

1.) remove ur gmail account from settings->accounts

2.) go to settings->application manager-> all apps

3.) go to google play services: clear cache then clear data and then force stop

4.) repeat step 3. with google play store and then with google services framework

5.) now go to settings and add back ur google account

6.) reboot ur phone !

THIS SHOULD WORK ! :D
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
There is no "Indian" build for Nexus 4. JDQ39E is proper AOSP build. In fact all custom ROM's are JDQ39E.

The changes are so small that Google did not even bother to make factory images.

There are 2-3 changes between JDQ39 and JDQ39E. One is auto selection of wifi channels which is more of a govt regulation thing

and another is addition of a new operator APN.

Just flash 4.3 factory image and go on with your life.
[Nexus 4 General] rajarshi10:
Anyone on 4.3 already? Is it worth an upgrade now or do I wait for custom roms?
