So guys I have a Mac and all I want to do is just flash this Factory Image for on my Nexus 4. Is there anyone that can help me?

I usually use this method for flashing factory images (Mac/Linus instructions included).

[Nexus 4 General] islandboy_2000:
I have downloaded the image 3 times now and after the download all 3 files fail to unzip. The download was not interrupted at all. I tried extracting the 4.3 zip and that worked fine. What the hell?

Edit: Never mind. Got it extracted now
[Nexus 4 General] jokkir:
Hey guys, as a warning before flashing the factory image:

If you wish to go back to 4.3 because of being unhappy with the 4.4 OTA, you might have to reflash the 4.3 factory image to get your restore working properly again.

I wanted to go back to my 4.3 Carbon Rom and I experienced slow booting times, graphical glitches, and WiFi not working when trying to restore via TWRP. I had to flash the 4.3 factory image to get my ROM backup working properly again.

EDIT -

It seems like it was reported here:

Thanks

Is WiFi tethering working? When I enable hotspot it says "error". Worked fine until the update.

Edit:

WiFi itself isn't working! I was connected to WiFi before update. After upgrading it was working. I then turned it off and now when I try to turn it on it doesn't come on. When I go the WiFi advanced settings it says MAC ID not available

WiFi worked after reboot. But when I turn on hotspot again the WiFi gets broken :(

[Nexus 4 General] vmartinez39:
So I had trouble, mostly with the dam ADB drivers not working or messed up because I manually installed them USB Drivers from the Android SDK from Nexus 4, JellyBean.

When I got my Nexus 5, didn't play nice with my PC and now its all screwed up. Lucky I have another laptop and ADB drivers played nice with Nexus 4 and Nexus 5.

I read somewhere on this forum, he was so right, Transparent Nexus 5 launcher is so much nicer. Only complaint, both phones aren't twins. But whatever, at least they are stock.

Now to root this puppy.

Reboot to bootloader and flash your custom recovery again. It was overwritten by the stock recovery.

[Nexus 4 General] SpasilliumNexus:
Maybe i'm overlooking something but where are people getting the makoz20d bootloader and .97 radio from? The 4.4 KRT16O image I downloaded from Google still has the same makoz20i bootloader and .84 radio as 4.3 in the tar file.

I haven't flashed yet. Were they named wrong? The checksums match what's on the site compared to what I downloaded.

EDIT: even this is in the android-info.txt file
[Nexus 4 General] Mercado_Negro:
Reboot to bootloader, boot to recovery, hold power and press volume down once you see the Android with an exclamation mark. Then do a factory reset and wipe cache. Reboot system.

[Nexus 4 General] Mercado_Negro:
Check the basics then. Another USB port, a different cable, etc. By the way, you can boot to bootloader by turning off your device and then holding power and volume down for a split second. Unplug your device before doing this and then connect it again, I'm pretty sure you'll be able to run fastboot commands then.

When the instructions say to "remove the -w from the .bat file if we don't want to wipe", does that actually mean that it keeps my app data, or does it only mean that it will not wipe the SD card?

It can be enabled by modifying the framework-res.apk which is what i did but for some reason ran into boot loops doing that.
[Nexus 4 General] ImbaWind:
So, I downloaded the factory image from the site and extracted them to desktop, then I extract 'image-occam-krt16o.zip' within the folder.

Here's the command you need to use:

*I'm using windows

adb devices
fastboot devices
fastboot flash bootloader [drag the bootloader file over here then press enter]
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio [drag the radio file over here then press enter]
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system [drag the system.img over here and press enter]
fastboot flash boot [drag the boot.img over here and press enter]
fastboot reboot

after reboot you should see your beloved Nexus 4 running KitKat w/o wiping data, as easy as that ;)
[Nexus 4 General] Mercado_Negro:
Did you flash all images and then flashed a custom recovery? If that's the case then you'll need to do a factory reset which is easier to achieve in your case.

[Nexus 4 General] Mercado_Negro:
Let's say your device is booted to bootloader and it's also plugged to your computer via USB. If you open a CMD window where fastboot.exe and type:

the bootloader isn't restarted? Nothing happens at all? What does the CMD window says at this point?
[Nexus 4 General] cataplines:
Nothing happens when I execute flash-all. Waiting for device... Nothing happen in my Nexus 4.

Where I am supposed to be in my device? In the ClockworkMod Recovery screen? should I go to install zip from sideload or something? Nothing happens...

[Nexus 4 General] Mercado_Negro:

Does someone flash the flashable zip of KitKat over stock 4.3 with custom kernel and root and can confirm it will boot without wipe?
[Nexus 4 General] Mercado_Negro:
Thanks for chiming in, I was a bit worried. Hope he can make it work :thumbup:
[Nexus 4 General] :
Yes and NO. Yes, updating Google Search brings improvements but not the Google Home. You still have to download the Google Home.apk and install it manually to get the GEL you're talking about.
[Nexus 4 General] iggie94:
Should I download SDK again just to be sure?
[Nexus 4 General] nithin1992:
While flashing factory images, the procedure is the same irrespective of which rom you're on. Do you have the fastboot+adb files downloaded as well? If not, please download them and extract all the files from the factory image to get multiple .img files[6 files] and place them all with the fastboot+adb files.

1) Make sure your computer recognizes your device by typing: fastboot devices

2)fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-mako-makoz10o.img (or whatever the name of the bootloader image that you downloaded).

3) Reboot: fastboot reboot-bootloader

4) Flash the radio: fastboot flash radio radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.48.img (or whatever the name is of the radio image that you downloaded).

5) Reboot: fastboot reboot-bootloader

6) Flash the system partition: fastboot flash system system.img

7) Flash the kernel/ramdisk: fastboot flash boot boot.img

8)fastboot format cache

Once you do this, boot into recovery, do a factory reset,flash SuperSU 1.65 and boot
[Nexus 4 General] Barbatos19:
what do u mean fastboot+adb files? i downloaded the sdk and got platform tools is that what u mean?
[Nexus 4 General] nithin1992:
Nope, your not doing it right. You can't launch a command prompt at random and use the fastboot commands. Download the attachment, extract the files on to your desktop. Put all the .img files that you get from the factory image into this folder[only .img files, no subfolders at all]. Now hold on to Shift key and right click. Open command window here and do the following.

1) Make sure your computer recognizes your device by typing: fastboot devices

2)fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-mako-makoz10o.img (or whatever the name of the bootloader image that you downloaded).

3) Reboot: fastboot reboot-bootloader

4) Flash the radio: fastboot flash radio radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.48.img (or whatever the name is of the radio image that you downloaded).

5) Reboot: fastboot reboot-bootloader

6) Flash the system partition: fastboot flash system system.img

7) Flash the kernel/ramdisk: fastboot flash boot boot.img

8)fastboot format cache

Once you do this, boot into recovery, do a factory reset,flash SuperSU 1.65 and boot
[Nexus 4 General] Barbatos19:
i extracted it using 7zip but i got 2 .img files which is bootloader-mako-makoz20i.img and radio-mako.img. i extract it again using winrar and i got 4 .img files which is the system,boot, recovery and user data .img. am i doing it right?
[Nexus 4 General] vickpick:
yeah, flash everything except userdata to keep your old data
[Nexus 4 General] nithin1992:
Yup. Place them all in the fastboot folder and proceed. Dont flash the userdata.img! Just follow the instructions in the prev post exactly and you'll be fine

thanks folks for the help. Im about to flash but when i type adb reboot bootloader i was booted to bootloader properly but when i check for adb devices it doesnt show any device. I checked for the device manager but got no yellow mark on any driver. but i notice that the driver is with samsung android phone. does it mean that it is installed correctly? then why my device is not recognize on adb+fastboot and i dont have any error issue on my device manager?
[Nexus 4 General] iggie94:
I'm confused with the folder part. Where do I put the .img files at?
[Nexus 4 General] Barbatos19:
put the .img files to where u install the adb fastboot so that it wont be hard for you to flash the files and lookin for the directory. then u run command prompt also on the directory or folder where ur adb fastboot is installed.
[Nexus 4 General] nithin1992:
No :( Pls follow the instructions i posted earlier properly. You dont use adb commands, you use fastboot.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47474146&postcount=290

Attached to this post is a zip file. Download the file, place it on the desktop and extract it. A folder named android-adb_fastboot-16.01 will be created. Put all the .img files into that folder, then hold onto Shift+right click in the folder and click open command window here and proceed
[Nexus 4 General] Mercado_Negro:
It shouldn't show any device when you're on the bootloader. Type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and if it reloads the bootloader then you're fine.

Can anyone test if accepting an incoming call while in the middle of another one is working normally? I flashed the img and everything went alright, until i tried to answer a call while already at another one... I drag my finger to the accept call button ( green phone ) and it freezes for 2 secs then the cursor goes back to the middle and nothing happens. It just keeps ringing as if i did nothing, and i could not accept the call. I had to end the first one and then accept the second.

mine was 436mb and when i extract it it comes out that it is 423mb. But all in all the .img files are 800+mb after they are all extracted. is that correct?

Just a quick update.

Installed 4.4 stock from scratch. Bootloader unlocked, no root and no custom recovery. Updated Google Search and installed GoogleHome.apk to get the new launcher, with transparency, Google Now page and everything. So far, the smoothest Android version I've experienced with my Nexus 4. Also, I've noticed is that the new ring/notification sounds and KitKat's wallpapers are not available. I wonder if OTA will bring those.
