But how to keep the cwm touch instant. Mine was getting back to stock recovery every time.
[Nexus 4 General] anshumandash:
Rename or delete the below files

I was on stock 4.2.1 + CWM (6.0.2.3) non touch recovery + rooted. Downloaded the 4.2.2 JDQ39 update from google site and flashed via CWM. After flashing completed, recovery prompted me to fix for preserving root and recovery. I did that and everything preserved - device is rooted, have custom CWM recovery and updated android 4.4.2 :D

Ypu dont have to be rooted to install the update. you can install it through adb sideload

Instructions: How to use “adb sideload”

1. First, you need to install the latest Android SDK (or at least steal the newest adb.exe from it). [Android SDK]

*This isn’t a guide on how to get the SDK installed or basic adb. There are dozens of those out there.

2. Plug in your device to your Windows machine. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled.

3. To test that you have adb up and running, and that your device is recognized, open a command prompt.

*The best place to open a command prompt is from within the Platform-Tools in the SDK. Hold SHIFT and the right-click and choose “Open command prompt…”

5. Type the following”

adb devices

6. You should get a serial number followed by “device.”

015d182f9a0aac28 device

7. If you see something along those lines, your adb is working properly, for now.

8. Download the update.zip from Google to your PC that you would like to install on your Nexus.

9. Move the file into your Platform-Tools folder.

10. Type the following:

adb reboot bootloader

11. Your device will now reboot to the bootloader.

12. Use Volume Down on your device to until you see “Recovery.”

13. Select it with the Power button.

14. Your device will boot to an Android logo with a exclamation mark.

15. To jump past this, press Volume Up and Power at the same time.

16. You will now be in stock recovery.

17. With Volume Down, highlight “apply update from ADB.” Press Power to choose it.

18. Back to your PC, type the following command:

adb sideload <filename of update.zip>

*I tend to rename update files to something simple when I get them. For example, the 4.2.2 update for the Nexus 7 I renamed to JDQ39.zip, so my command was “adb sideload JDQ39.zip”

19. If your adb is working properly, you should see the file transfer to your device in adb.

*If you get nothing, it’s time to troubleshoot with the next set of instructions in another post that I am still working on.

20. Once that finishes, your device will begin to update.

21. Once it has finished, simply reboot and enjoy the update.

for step 15:if you the phone powers down or restarts...just hold down power button and keep tapping on the volume up key.. you should get the next screen

Wooooooooohooooooo my order has finally shipped :D just got the mail from google :D ordered my nexus 4 on 9th feb Saturday 8:00 am Indian standard time :mad:
[Nexus 4 General] sheik_yerbouti:
Judging by the bill of entry, Bangalore customs are valuing the phone at a flat Rs. 30000 while calculating customs and CVD. The value of the bumpers is not even considered. It's like the bumpers don't exist. I have no idea why they valuing it at 30000 even though each phone is effectively about 21000. But that is the reason why the customs are high.
[Nexus 4 General] hsachdeva:
i think they are shipping out lots of orders today... i got the shipped email from Google .....Yippe!!!:highfive:

[Nexus 4 General] AayushDhuria:
Guys, I've tried searching but couldn't manage a definite answer. I've ordered a Nexus 4 (Actually my aunt in US has, and he'll be getting is soon). As I searched, I came to know direct courier will cost me ****load, how to get it via PPObox or whatever? :confused:

Edit: And yes, about Custom Duty? I know it's 2% on mobiles but my dad's been busting my ass, so could someone please confirm? :P
[Nexus 4 General] duuudee:
When it comes to Indian customs only luck can save you..I've seen people being charged 2k and sometimes people weren't charged at all..and as for ppo box shipping..create a ppo box ID ..ask your aunt to ship the phone to your ppo box address and sign up for a new shipment..:good:
[Nexus 4 General] AayushDhuria:
What if I tell her to ship as a gift and without bill? :P With seal open (just in case)
[Nexus 4 General] hsachdeva:
i think they actually shipped mine yesterday (i.e 13th ) since i got a final charge confirmation email / sms from Citi yesterday and even on UPS it says shipment booked 13th. Keeping my fingers crossed for an early delivery to the shipping company... :D

BTW.. which shipping company are you using to get the delivery in India?
[Nexus 4 General] sheik_yerbouti:
Gifts need to be valued under Rs. 10000 to be duty free. You can't fool customs agents. They're fully aware of the Nexus 4's being imported. With or without the bill, they'll value the phone and charge customs equally.

My advice: customs is not under your control, so don't worry about it.
[Nexus 4 General] duuudee:
Sorry bro not really sure about that..and as far as what I've read..ppo box nexus usually don't have their seal opened :good:
[Nexus 4 General] sheik_yerbouti:
Are you from Bangalore by any chance?
[Nexus 4 General] duuudee:
I am using PPO box..and even my UPS tracker says google had shipped it on 13th itself
[Nexus 4 General] AayushDhuria:
Ah yes, I know that, PPObox it is then! Or i'll try, my mom told me that she can send through her relative and he/she will bring it as his/her own phone, let's hope :P. Someone in this thread mentioned that customs have made nexus 4's price after evaluation to 30k. And if that happens, dad will LITERALLY kill me xD

[Nexus 4 General] chintan.y.t@gmail.com:
it all depends upon where u live and where your aunt lives in us,if your aunt lives in new york(you would have paid tax of 33$ to state of new york) go strictly with ppobox(their shipping cost,customs is way tooo low then others like hsg or comgateway ),if in oregon or any other state,go with hsg or comgateway(like comgateways facebook page before registering and you get 5$ discount),they have their warehouse in taxfree state.

if u live in maharastra u will get octroi but customs is around 400 only (except if u live in a village in maharsatra octroi is not taken),if in delhi,customs are charging huge amounts,if in gujarat charges are too low,some didnt even had to pay to the delivery boy as dhl uses some other courier(once it lands in mumbai) for delivery in gujarat

i would suggest comgateway,as you would have to probably pay rs 2000(33 $ tax to state of new york.just confirm it.

any item entering newyork from anywhere in us has to pay this tax as far as i know,contact ppo box site.

if u r using comgateway(its warehouse is in tax free state),just like their facebook page to receive 5$ discount beore registering.

[Nexus 4 General] clifford.desouza:
So here's my big fat problem:

Placed an order for a 16Gb N4 + Bumper on Feb 6th, card got authorized for $416.97 immediately on placing the order

Got an email today saying 'Your order is on hold as your payment information was declined. Please update your payment information'

The very next minute I get an email from Google saying 'Your Order has been shipped', Also, got the UPS tracking Info (not updated yet as it takes 24 hours for the updation)

Was concerned, so checked with the bank (HDFC) and they told me that the authorized amount from Feb 6th has not been claimed by Google yet, and now since my existing credit limit is just 7K, the second charge got declined

Spoke to Google, they are awaiting a reply and will get back to me

Now my question is, do you need to have the said credit limit during the second charge release on the credit card?

Also, now that I see that my order has shipped, what do I do? The amount is lying unclaimed in my Credit Card, Google has shipped the order but Google Wallet shows Transaction Declined for both the orders (N4 + Bumper)

Any suggestions, advice, help here? Thank you.

Here's a screenshot of what I see:

[Nexus 4 General] angad619:
I faced something similar. Here's my story:

I ordered 2 16GB variants and 2 bumpers. Then read about the accessories 15% duty and cancelled my order. I have a credit limit of 45K so I was left with 6K something. The authorization didn't get cancelled. I asked Citibank they asked me to wait for a month. I asked Google they asked me to wait a week.

Of course I couldn't :P

Then I paid off 35K of my credit card bill (It was not charged yet). My credit limit was back up instantly and I reordered.

So Google have a block of almost 80K on my card now but they'll charge me for about 40K eventually.

They aren't obligated to offer any service because this phone is not officially sold here. Therefore they are not officially required to have any knowledge of repairing our phone or having spare parts. You should consider yourself lucky if LG are willing to service it for whatever price they ask.

Technically speaking, phone got shipped to india at the end of feb 13. So, considering shipment happened on early 14th, and the fact that it's the local time (NY), which is behind by ~11 hrs we can safely assume it hasn't been 24hrs yet and lets wait for 5 more hours so these guys can update their systems. I've been taking the timings to the very minutes of delivery and i'll make a spread sheet for future nexus 4 owners on XDA :D :highfive:
