If you mean that you need Official Stock 4.3 for Nexus 4. That is not released yet. There is a system dump extracted gmillz in Android Development forum you can flash that, else you have to wait. Please post the question in general category.

Wrong! You can download the official 4.3 rom from googles devs servers..
To just awnser ts.. You can just use the normal toolkit from mark (mskip) .. You will get a warning that the img is not in toolkits database..
My gnex is running it sinds yesterday..

I've heard of these things called adb and fastboot, they are really not that hard to use or learn. If your a Linux user its as easy as just downloading the SDK.

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.

I just purchased a Nexus 4 and upon checking out the device I noticed the model number says Full JellyBean on Mako. What does this mean?

Mako is the code name given for the nexus 4 device. Jelly Bean is an Android release.
Mine said: Nexus 4. Did you buy it new or used. If used and you're worried, just flash the factory stock 4.3 image which will erase everything previously.

Most likely a custom rom. It doesn't look like the kernel is stock kernel to me. It's safest to do a full wipe and factory reset. You should update to 4.3 anyway, use this guide:

I wasn't able to update to 4.3, and my computer wasn't recognizing the phone either. However, after booting the phone into bootloader, my computer recognized it. So I unlocked it and am currently flash stock 4.3 onto it via Nexus Toolkit.
Hopefully it works out for you. However, try not to use toolkits in the future. If something goes wrong at some point you won't know what to do if you rely on toolkits. Learn the manual method of flashing.

I know how to manually flash and all that. It's just I already had Toolkit installed and just thought it would be quicker.

Yeah, just enable USB debugging and it should recognize. If USB debugging doesn't work (it should), try installing drivers again (manually).

I want to root my Nexus 4 and install newest CM. One problem is, that there is Android 4.4 update comming soon. So if I root my Nexus and install CM, can I get my phone back to stock and update Android to 4.4?
Yes. You can either flash the 4.4 images, or simply install a 4.4 based custom ROM (the more practical solution my opinion) since you will already have installed a custom recovery.

If I have CM installed, can I somehow get everything to stock. Like my Nexus 4 just came out of box?

Can I use the Nexus toolkit to unlock n root, latest firmware not listed. Is it still supported?

I'd recommend learning to do it manually rather than a toolkit, that way this will never be an issue again. It's very easy to do. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2382051. The entire instruction set is in the very first post.

That is not manually rooting. It uses auto root (and has superfluous steps), which is silly for a nexus device.
This is how you root "manually":

We're here to help, man. Try it manually and let us know if you run into any problems. It's basically impossible to hard brick a Nexus device. Almost anything can be recovered from.

I have used the wugfresh toolkit to root on latest firmware (KRT16S) and it works fine. Just select the "any build" option. Don't know about unlocking though, as my device was unlocked from 4.3
However, I do remember that I was able to unlock my 7 using the wugfresh toolkit BEFORE there was even an option for "nexus 7 2013" so it will probably work ?
Or you could do it the way everybody else here is saying, instead of the newb way ? (but I prefer the newb way)

Toolkit was updated and supports latest kitkat, I prefer the easy way. Not that I wouldn't of tried the other method. I've rooted plenty... Just wanted the easy option. Took a while to sort out.. As I had just factory restored my laptop. Anyways that's for all ur help guys, all sorted here!
Wugfresh is what I used. Works flawlessly. Very fast an simple ?

I really don't understand how a toolkit can be "the easy way" on a nexus device. Run two fastboot commands and press one button and you've done it manually. You never have to worry about someone else's code working or compatibility for future updates. And it's the same for any nexus device.

Well it's all good, I'm happy...the toolkit was coded by a legend.. Who I've donated too in the past.

Howdy, was looking to update my nexus from 4.2.2 to 4.4.1. I remember when I went from 4.1 to 4.2 I had to use my PC to update the boot loader first. Is this also true for this update or can I just flash my new ROM and gapps after a good wipe?

Bump! Anyone?
The proper way without any problem is flash factory image via wugfresh tool kit and it should update your device kernel bootloader android os every thing and it is very easy too.
Please ignore my spelling mistakes. English is not my native language.
