The only issue with odin update is that it cleans the internal memory! And I don't want that, I have alot of data in that.

Yes, I can copy that and paste later but then it ****s up whatsapp files and images and sometimes the android folder :/

Ps, phone is not rooted! Any way to get the update without wiping the internal?

[Nexus 4 General] BojanMK:
​

Hi guys,

I know you can't wait to get the OTA 4.4 update for your Nexus 4 phones but we don't have to wait anymore because Google already released the ROM for our phones! I got my Nexus 4 updated to 4.4 without installing any custom recovery images trough this tutorial.

1. Make sure your Nexus 4 bootloader is unlocked. Unlocking your bootloader will wipe all the data from your phone, so make a backup before doing this! Bootloader unlocking steps:

1.1 Make sure you got the latest Google USB driver on your computer. If not, download and install it from this official link.

1.2. Boot your phone in fastboot mode by holding - Volume down and Power buttons at the same time.

1.3. While your phone is booted in fastboot mode, connect the phone to your computer and open fastboot command prompt window, then type "fastboot oem unlock" and follow the instructions on your phone and then restart it in fastboot mode.

2. Download the official 4.4 ROM image from Google Developers website and wait the download to finish.

3. Extract occam-krt16s-factory-2006f418.tgz file and extract the extracted occam-krt16s-factory-2006f418.tar and you should have a folder named "occam-krt16s" which contains the official 4.4 ROM we want to flash.

4. Connect your phone to your computer in fastboot mode and open with Notepad the file named "flash-all.bat" and remove the -w command from the batch file if you don't want to wipe all data from your phone, else start the batch without any editing and wait the process to finish...

and voila, you should have your phone booting up the latest Android KitKat 4.4 version which takes couple minutes at the first time booting. After that, enjoy!

Let me know if you need any help around this.

Hit the thanks button if you like my simple, yet useful tutorial. :)

Easy clear steps thanks +1
[Nexus 4 General] 850RPM:
how long it supposed to stay with the circle dancing screen before finishing install?

everything was OK during fastboot process
[Nexus 4 General] BojanMK:
Couple minutes, not much... I have noticed that long loading too. :)
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
You should probably mention that running flash-all.bat will wipe data.
[Nexus 4 General] BojanMK:
I did left a note with bold text, right above the steps. I'll make it little bit bigger then...
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
You're right. I must have missed it. Sorry.
[Nexus 4 General] silby:
Will this overwrite the modem?
[Nexus 4 General] rajendra82:
If you edit flash-all.bat, and remove the -w from it. You can update your phone to 4.4 without your data being wiped.
[Nexus 4 General] BojanMK:
Yes

Nice idea mate, have you tried it?
[Nexus 4 General] tanwg:
You are probably asking this because you are stuck at the circles screen? I was stuck too. But "fastboot oem lock" then "fastboot oem unlock" then restarting the phone solved the problem for me.
[Nexus 4 General] GuileC:
I've tried it for the KRT16O update, worked flawlessly :D

Just did it again for KRT16S, still worked as great !
[Nexus 4 General] rajendra82:
I am currently on kitkat with this method. Kept all my apps and settings except root.
[Nexus 4 General] BojanMK:
Awesome, I'll include this method in the first post.
[Nexus 4 General] allexif:
Doesn't the "fastboot oem unlock" wipe all your data?
[Nexus 4 General] BojanMK:
No, it's just unlocking the bootloader so you are able to flash ROMS.
[Nexus 4 General] arffrhn:
Unlocking bootloader is gonna wipe all your data. And flash-all.bat is gonna wipe it too if you don't edit it. It's a nice thread but there are already many threads for flashing factory images.
[Nexus 4 General] allexif:
I got the menu for unlocking and it says that it will whipe all my personal data, so it's saying that it will but it will not?
[Nexus 4 General] ragerino:
I only see the KitKat Logo

Locking and unlocking didn't do the trick.

Also factory resetting through original recovery didn't work.

Any suggestions? I did it without a SIM-Card. Maybe it needs one to boot up?
[Nexus 4 General] arffrhn:
Didn't do what trick exactly? Please elaborate..
[Nexus 4 General] allexif:
While doing the flash_all.bat command the fastboot.exe has stopped working, what should I do??!? did i messed it up? :(
[Nexus 4 General] Adikbzik:
thanks dude. Thanks to you I got KRT16S onboard without wiping existed data. :good:
[Nexus 4 General] GeneralMoo:
Sweet this all worked perfectly.
[Nexus 4 General] spiaggefredde:
what about your widgets? are they still on homescreen or they have to be placed again?

[EDIT]

Nevermind, just 10 min after the post, I received my OTA :P
[Nexus 4 General] BojanMK:
I think you probably had a lot of background application that were bugging the command prompt. Try running it again but this time don't f*ck around with other applications while you are flashing! Never leave flashing application in background.

They released the OTA update?

Anyway guys, I don't know about you but I have noticed a big improvement in my battery life with enabled 3G all the time. On 4.3 version the phone wasn't lasting even half day but now, on 4.4 version I feel like it's doubled. Awesome improvement that I just needed. :)
[Nexus 4 General] dmullens:
Is it possible to change the link to the factory images in the OP? I wasn't paying attention, clicked the link, and flashed krt16o. I know I should have payed a bit more attention...just thought others might run into the same thing.

Hoping that flashing the older image is why my home button, lock screen, etc. isn't working....
[Nexus 4 General] springy:
A stupid question, but flashing the above, will I still receive OTA?
[Nexus 4 General] BojanMK:
I have no idea why you flashed other, wrong image...

I don't see the reason why we should not receive the OTA updates in future. We are still using a official ROM.
[Nexus 4 General] dmullens:
The instructions in the original post have:

2. Download the official 4.4 ROM image from Google Developers website and wait the download to finish.

The link for "Google Developers website" points to KRT16O not KRT16S or the actual Google Developers website.. When I clicked on it I thought it would just take me to the developer site, instead it started downloading the file. I didn't know it actually was the link for the older version until later.
[Nexus 4 General] BojanMK:
It's not an older version mate. At least it wasn't when I made the tutorial. I'll check that later when I'm on my laptop.
[Nexus 4 General] defffizz:
I think you need to be a bit more informed before deciding to make a thread like this. There is a new factory image, the one that comes as OTA, KRT16S.

Also, you made tutorial and you don't even know that unlocking the bootloader wipes the whole device. No hard feelings, just saying...

[Nexus 4 General] BojanMK:
Mate, don't be ungrateful... I'm not a developer to know all this stuff. I made the tutorial to share what I discovered, not to be judged by your professional aspects.

Anyway, I still haven't checked any "new" ROMS and I am still on the same "old" ROM as you say. I haven't experienced any bugs and I bet with all my money the "new" ROM is pretty much the same sh*t as the "old". I have only experienced great battery life which I needed it very much on my Nexus with 3G.
[Nexus 4 General] defffizz:
First of all, this isn't a ROM, it's the official factory image from Google. Custom recovery is NEVER an option when it comes to flashing factory image, fastboot is the only way. Second, there is no need for you to 'check' for something in order for it to exist. Third, I'm not ungrateful, but I don't have any reason to be grateful either, because you didn't exactly discover anything new, there's a couple of threads in this subforum with the same tutorial. At least don't be so stubborn and update the OP with the latest factory image, when you 'check it'.

Thanks for this post!

I tired to do a sideload with TWRP and something didn't go right. It was booting to the new splash screen and going no further. Using your instructions I was easily able to fastboot load ROM and keep all my data. WIN!

Loving the 4.4 + GEL setup!

Of course I finally did this because I was tired of waiting for OTA. No kidding, 3 hours after I did mine my daughters 2013 N7 and wife's N4 get OTA's. Before that I Was planning a time load theirs up the same way. No idea if my OTA would have come in if I waited but the timing can drive you crazy.
[Nexus 4 General] bmoke:
Your short and sweet tutorial worked with no issues. I migrated direct from version 4.2.2 to 4.4. Version 4.2.2 included an unlocked bootloader and root. I copied the 4.4 factory image files to my Android SDK platform-tools folder, on my Win7 pc. From the command prompt, I issued the ADB Devices command to ensure that my N4 was recognized, or connected to the PC. After that, it was simple to issue the flash-all.bat command. NOTE, I did edit the flash-all.bat file to delete the [-w] command. So, there was NO wipe of my apps or app data. My APN data was still there and functional. I did lose Root and Superuser was the only app that disappeared. Not a problem. Thanks again.
[Nexus 4 General] bmoke:
Bojan,

Your solution to update to 4.4 KitKat worked great. Can you provide a similar solution to move from 4.4 to 4.4.2? When I checked my N4 this morning, I found that a "new system update downloaded" message. I do not know if it is version 4.4.1 or 4.4.2. Thanks.

Fastboot broken / can't find phone

I can't even get started on this because Fastboot is broken or can't find my phone or something. These are my commands and the responses:

fastboot devices -> 'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

fastboot-windows devices -> nothing happens, the base command prompt just comes back

fastboot-windows oem unlock -> <waiting for device>
[Nexus 4 General] wulsic:
You are doing it wrong. First you have to download fastboot and also install the drivers for it, then browse to the folder where you've downloaded fastboot.

Open cmd there with Shift+rightclick mouse, open cmd.

Then type

Fastboot devices

Fastboot oem unlock

(Replace fastboot with the complete fastboot file name.)

Also install the drivers for your nexus4.
[Nexus 4 General] fbtsrg:
I found a program called Minimal ADB and Fastboot which installs and starts those programs for you, and that was a life saver. Lifehacker calls them "notoriously difficult to set up and run", which is true. It's odd that long detailed step-by-step how-to's on rooting your phone (I tried three or four different ones) skip over this and simply say "run fastboot" or words to that effect.
[Nexus 4 General] wulsic:
Well most guide's expect you already have installed those files/drivers, I also wanted to give you this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

So you could install it, system wide and then execute the commands in cmd. I don't trust all programs which execute those commands I rather do it myself.

Sorry that I didn't gave you this program earlier but my tablet's keyboard was stuck again :silly:

But good that you solved your problem :D:good:

KK 4.4.4

Very useful.

A Nexus 4 is unbrickable really.

I used this tuto to unbrick my N4 and input KK 4.4.4

https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/occam-ktu84p-factory-b6ac3ad6.tgz

You basically need to unzip the tgz twice (you'll get the image ROM and the script to run) and then put your phone in fastboot mode, then run the script to flash.

Pretty easy!

Thanks. I'll stick with the do-it-for-you one as long as it works and then try this somewhat more complicated one if needed.
