Hy! I'm pretty much a newbie and i got a problem. I just bought an Nexus 4 which has a recovery installed, called Team Win recovery project. My phone downloaded automaticaly twice the 4.3 update, but when it restarts to install it, the Team Win recovery menu appears, and i can't find any way to install the new update. Also, after a factory reset, the phone lacks ANY browser or music player, and the Google Play icon is changed (has a smile instead).
Please help me! I just want to have ALL things stock so i can use the phone as from factory and install the 4.3 update. Later on, i will learn how to install roms and tweak things.
Thanks in advance!

There isnt any simpler way? That looks way too complicated....I thought that there is a return to stock kind of thing...
Thanks anyway!

If you're scared of fastboot commands, you can always use a toolkit.
Check the stickies of Nexus 4 Original Android Development.
Of course by doing it manually you'll gain better ability to tweak the phone in the future...

I just used Nexus Root Toolkit instead and it worked. I selected the option: "flash stock and unroot". So I am guessing that I went back to stock JB 4.1.1 and the only thing needed is to root using the same tool?
I'm in a similar situation, but I rooted/unlocked manually on a MAC.
Flashed to a ROM but would prefer to flash back to the original one.

Guys. Take 5 minutes and learn some basic fast boot and adb commands. Then this kind of stuff will seem trivial.... Stop acting helpless and learn something here

Your point is right, but the delivery is wrong. All of us were noobs at some point and asked questions that seemed trivial to the more experienced HUMANS in the community.
True, we should all look around the forums and read, but, that's not the way to answer to people looking to incur into the flashng, dev, modding community.
Just saying, no offense meant.
Hello. Just received my Nexus 10 and really want to root, although pretty scared in case of bricking my device. Can anyone tell me if the current version of the [NEXUS 10 TOOLKIT V1.3.0] is working FULLY? I see posts on the actual thread containing the toolkit that peoples devices wont boot fully, but also people saying their thanks as it has worked for them. I cannot post in that thread due to having no post count.
Also, when I open up the Toolkit it asks me what build I am using, which is 4.2.1, but the only build displayed is 4.2.0 (not my build), so how do I get around this and tell the toolkit my build is 4.2.1.
Thanks
It got me into a boot loop after unlocking the device, had to go into the custom recovery to fix it. Make sure you read the instructions given by the developer on the first page before using the tool kit. Same with choosing the build, check about phone in settings and then see what build you have before chosing your os.

Hey thanks for the info, well I was about to use it but like I said after opening the toolkit and having my device connected it only displayed the build 4.2.0 but my build is 4.2.1, is the toolkit only available for 4.2.0 or how do I select my build (4.2.1) , thanks

I did take a look at that but what are the requirements to use it? As it doesn't say on the thread. My nexus is fully stock apart from the 4.2.1 update. Thanks again for the reply
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk 2
Just select the 4.2.0 build even though you have 4.2.1. It worked great for me. It says somewhere in the post that you can use the 4.2.0 for 4.2.x builds.

Oh well I guess il try it then. So for you it was as simple as following the instructions on the toolkit? I'm extremely paranoid of bricking my device
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk 2
That is the toolkit I used and it worked fine. I felt comfortable with it because it is the same guy I used the toolkit from on my Galaxy Nexus. I didnt read any instructions since I already know how to use it and had no problems. I wasnt even aware of any "special requirements"
Hmmm I may be wrong but I thought the boot loader needed unlocking for that one ?

I used the toolkit on my nexus 10 after i upgraded it to 4.2.1 Just selected the do everything option and followed the directions. Worked like a champ.
Thanks for all the replies, I decided to go ahead and root, and all went fine. One more question, when a system update becomes available, through my notifications can I go ahead and do it?

I haven't done it yet because there hasn't been an update since I rooted but there is an app called OTA Rootkeeper that is supposed to allow you to take ota updated and maintain root.

Not sure how it works on Nexus 10 as I am yet to receive mine but on Nexus 7 even after rooting the device using Mskip's toolkit I am able to receive OTA updates without any issues.
Being the same developer and similar toolkit I think it should work.

To receive OTA updates you must have a locked bootloader and stock recovery. Doesnt matter what much though since if you want an update to whatever OTA comes out, someone ALWAYS compiles a 100% stock rooted ROM based on whatever latest OTA has just come out. Usually it is on the very same day as the official OTA too
But I still recommend a custom ROM. Craig's AOSP+ is basically the stock ROM but comes with many fixes for things broken on just running stock, and increases compatibility with external devices.
I could use some help on how to utilize my donation code. I have scanned the thread very well and cannot find out how to use the code after donation. I am a non posting donator to many forums and threads. Successfully modified dozens of devices. This is the first one I am to excited to work the bugs out myself. I have the 4.2.1 update, got it unlocked but, cannot get any further. The tool just keeps stopping. It obviously works, I am just missing something that is probably really simple. I would also like the functionality of the donator options. Any help would be greatly appreciated.........................Just found donator portal. Still stuck after unlocked bootloader.
I myself cannot find the donor portal, I am going crazy trying to find it. Can someone please tell me where it is? This is my first time rooting a device. Thanks
Mike
Toolkit works well. I got to eager and forgot to terminate ADB. I opened my task mgr. on windows and felt like a real boob, had like 20 cmd windows open. Still having a heck of a time accessing donator tools. Put in code from main menu #26. But, no updates to the kit. Nexus 10 + x-mas = no sleep.
It's been 4 months since i bought Nexus 4 i was enjoying the 4.2 version no problems with heating issues(very minor no biggie),no performance problems neither graphic or application related issues..........however i did found out that there was Bluetooth problem in Nexus 4 devices,thought by next update it might solve that issue(bug).
Now i updated to 4.3 i received OTA and after installing it :-
The games i used to play lag ridiculously which didn't in previous 4.2,i saw drop in frame rates,the graphics were better before now the look like some 8-bit textures.....What the Hell?!?
My phone now get overheated my messaging and surfing which it didn't used to on 4.2 and it heats like anything when i am on call.....
Now it works very slow as if the update has degraded its hardware capability..... :crying:
Please provide me instructional guidance on how to rollback to my previous 4.2 version stock android(i did factory reset it didn't help,its still 4.3)
I need your HELP here!!!

is it that hard to use forum tools to search for keywords like... say... nexus 4 toolkit? come one people... it's a rule, it ain't matter you are a newbie you can always search... anyway go to nexus 4 section, then go to original android development and there you have toolkits in the first 5-6 threads. goog luck
I'd personally reflash the 4.3 factory image before going back, I've had no issues with 4.3 after a nice clean install (never used the OTA as I didn't wanna wait)

As been told, just flash the 4.2.2 image if you wanna go back but honestly i had no problems but applications incompatibility and that's not cause of 4.3 but the applications that doesn't support it yet.

4.2.2 was really much better to be honest,but from what i experienced was that my N4 became very slow i mean chrome taking time to open gmail taking time to open a mail and even refresh,the games i have like Vector,Virtual Tennis Challenge i saw like graphics screwed up........maybe i agree with you maybe be they are not compatible.....
But overheating,reduced performance,its to much to take,i googled a found people unable to turn on their N4 atleast am lucky my situation wasn't upto that.
Thats weird... I installed NFS Most Wanted, Asphalt 7 and they both worked nicely... I also thought there might be some graphics issues but its fine. Maybe you like to try again? maybe there's a missing wipe or something that is causing all these problems.

What's not easy? Download the factory image from Google and flash it the same way you would any factory image from Google. It has the easiest of all mobile phones to up/downgrade as it's a Nexus device

That was the same thing in my mind though,but it seems Nexus 4 has no option to rollback stock,the galaxy nexus series do,some i think.
Flashing 4.2.2 stock is the only solution i think:angel:
It isnt that hard. Just find yourself a good video tutorial if you like and all good

as far as i know, and that can be wrong, if your android is untouched (no root or anything else (like xposes framwork)) you will get the update over the air.
BUT if you don't there are factory images that you can download and flash your phone quite easily
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/how-to-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2010312
or a toolkit to do it automatically
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/how-to-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2010312
i would recommend to do it with the first method. if something goes wrong you will know what is it and you can ask for help. with the toolkit if something goes wrong things are more complicated to find the error.
P.S. if you decide installing the factory images via console (first option), it is highly recommended to read the entire process first and after do the procedure.
My phone is rooted, but i dont have any custom ROMs or framework , will this affect it? Or when I get the update my root will simply be gone?

You'll lose root and the custom recovery with the ota. But if you haven't modified / deleted any system files you should get the ota.

You should be ok. If you're really worried about cwm you could flash the stock recovery image in fastboot. But I wouldn't unless the ota fails, which it shouldn't

Alright, thank you again for clearing things up!
It's also worth noting that Google pushes update at different times depending on which area you live in, so even if you read on the news that Lollypop is released on the Nexus 4, it may take a while for your phone to receive the OTA.
Personally, I advice you to install TWRP recovery, its safe and easy to install kernels and roms

Your best bet would be to download wugfresh's Nexus Root Toolkit, that will make it as easy as clicking a few buttons. Keep in mind though, the first order of business is unlocking the bootloader (you can also use NRT for that), which will completely erase your phone.
Edit: another good option in my opinion: since you already have 6.0.1 you could also just do a factory reset.

On this phone I haven't flashed any roms as I find stock android 6 to be pretty sweet in and of itself. However if you do want to try another rom I'd advise you to look into CyanogenMod, they have a large userbase, lots of devs and some good features.
