Does no one have the answer to this? People were obsessed over teh 4.2.2 bootloader for the Nexus 4. I guess this is what we get for a low popularity device... no one cares.
No there is no new bootloader, and there wasnt a new bootloader going from 4.2.1 to 4.2.2 on the Galaxy Nexus either. There wasnt even a bootloader changing from from 4.1.2 to 4.2, I didnt know any Nexus brand devices had a new one. Shoot, not even my Galaxy Tab 2 had a bootloader update between the versions.

Hi all I have x2 Nexus 7 32gb versions.
The old one came with build JRO03D and the new one came with JRN84D.
When I updated the new N7 to Jellybean 4.1.1, the build became JRO03D, question is, which is the newer build number ? I thought it was the JRN84D as it was the new Nexus batch that just got delivered.
cheers
JR003D is 4.1.1 where as other is just 4.1

hi sorry, my bad, they are both 16gb.
I'm still on the 4.13 boot loader obviously since I'm on 4.2.1. I don't have a computer so can I just flash a 4.2.2 ROM without any problems? Thanks

yeah i dont think having a old bootloader would affect the rom flashing.
but why not wait til you're able to flash the new bootloader and then a 4.2.2 rom as well?
I use the official CM10.1 so I want to update to the latest nightly. But okay. Thanks!

Actually, I didn't just bought it. I originally bought 2 Nexus 4 at launch. One was for my dad and one is for me. I didn't opened mine until now, which is many months after launch.
I don't know which version of Android is on my phone, but I think it's probably 4.1. I know about the LTE hack and how it was disabled in 4.2. Now that Android 4.3 is out, how can I update to 4.3, but still keep LTE as an option? I prefer stock Android, but a friend is telling me to install Cyanogen Mod. Won't that require a root and is Cyanogen using Android 4.3 yet?
Anyways, my main priority is to update to Android 4.3 while keeping LTE if possible. How can I do that? Thanks!
Nexus 4 comes stock with 4.2. You can use LTE but you'll have to flash a zip file that will enable it. Yes I believe CM has a 4.3 build already.

Will I need to root my phone to enable it? I thought there's also some sort of key command to activate LTE?
Regardless, if I upgrade to Android 4.3 right now, is there a way to enable LTE or you don't recommend me to do any sort of updates until I have sort out the LTE issues? I'm just afraid that after upgrading to 4.3, I won't have any recourse to go back and get things right.

You will have to flash a custom recovery which isnt that hard. There are a lot of guides out there that will certainly help! Yesterday I came across this vid and he explains it very well!

Yes! I had all these questions myself a few days ago, because I used a toolkit in the past, but actually it isnt hard to do it urself.

Its locked down like the iphone, no custom Roms because of a new locked boot loader implemented on all new Samsung devices. There isn't a safe root method but you can root.

What hovax said...and to add to it...looks like every att android device will be like this since they "no longer support phones with unlocked bootloaders"
In other words if you want a phone for roms go nexus or another carrier

Hi everyone. My mom's s4 won't update. I think it's because we're outside of the US. The phone it's unlocked. Do I need to update to every firmware until I reach the desired version? Or I can just put the 4.4.2 OTA on the sdcard and update?

You can just Odin to the latest version. I doubt your mom does rooting or custom roms but that will be severely limited after the update.

Just root the phone not many people are on MDL, I for one am and all I did was root my S4. Take advantage of the fact bootloader is unlocked trust me.

There's people who would die to have a phone on mdl. But I'm sure it's not your mom. If you want the latest firmware see the second post of the attached and flash it with Odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50667360

Lol. Thanks I appreciate that. Getting off topic but as an ex s4 owner I recommend those people to migrate to a nexus 5 or wait until nexus 6 come out. It's a really awesome phone imho.
