Important Notes

The Nexus 4 (mako) is the fourth Nexus phone manufactured by LG in cooperation with Google. Please note that up to January 8, 2017 you will need to have Android 4.2.2 (exactly) on your Nexus 4 in order to be able to use LuneOS. The image can be downloaded from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
For any builds after this you need to have CyanogenMod 12.1 (cm-12.1-20151007-SNAPSHOT-YOG4PAO334-mako.zip) https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767139495 md5: d2608e95de63e59b14451fce32973748 Before installing a new version of Android/CyanogenMod, wipe cache and do a factory reset.

Unlocking the device (bootloader)

First, the bootloader must be unlocked.

  1. Download and install the Android SDK for your platform from here: Android SDK
  2. Open a Terminal and: cd to <sdk>/tools/
  3. Run: ./android to start the Android SDK Manager
  4. Use it to install the latest version of 'Android SDK Platform-tools'
  5. Close the Android SDK Manager
  6. In your Terminal window,: cd to <sdk>/platform-tools/
  7. Power off the Nexus 4 and activate the bootloader (Vol Down & Power
    or adb reboot recovery)
  8. Connect it via USB
  9. In your Terminal window, run: ./fastboot devices
  10. If your device shows up, proceed to the next step. Otherwise, follow the instructions in this thread
  11. In your Terminal window, run: ./fastboot oem unlock
  12. A warning will appear on your Nexus 4, prompting you to unlock your bootloader.
  13. Use the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons to navigate and the Power button to confirm your selection.
  14. Reboot Device

Installing recovery using fastboot

You can use fastboot to install your recovery image to the device.

Installing ClockworkMod Recovery on the Nexus 4

  1. Your Nexus 4 should still be connected to your PC via USB from the last step
  2. Power off the Nexus 4 and activate the bootloader Vol Down & Power
    or adb reboot recovery
  3. Once the device is in fastboot mode, verify your PC sees the device by typing fastboot devices
  4. *If you don't see your device serial number, and instead see "<waiting for device>", fastboot is not configured properly on your machine. See fastboot documentation for more info.
  5. On your PC, download the ClockworkMod Nexus 4 recovery image (at time of writing, 6.0.4.7)
  1. Flash CWM to your Nexus 4, making sure to use the proper filename for the image you downloaded:

 $ fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockworkmod-6.0.4.7-mako.img
 sending 'recovery' (6526 KB)...
 OKAY [  0.802s]
 writing 'recovery'...
 OKAY [  1.245s]
 finished. total time: 2.048s
 $ fastboot reboot
 rebooting...
 
 finished. total time: 0.020s

  1. Reboot to bootloader, by powering off, then Vol Down & Power
    or adb reboot recovery
  2. Use the Volume Up or Volume Down key to select "Recovery mode", and the Power button to enter recovery.
  3. At this point, ClockworkMod should load.

Installing/Updating LuneOS from recovery

Note:

Some devices do not have removable SD cards. Regardless, there should still be a partition on the device named "/sdcard" that can be used for flashing purposes, even though the contents of /sdcard may actually be in internal storage.

  1. Your Nexus 4 should still be connected to your PC via USB from the last step
  2. Your Nexus 4 should still be booted to ClockworkMod from the last step
  3. If neither statement is currently true, please reboot to ClockworkMod. If you do not have CWM loaded, follow the steps outlined above.
  4. Download the latest stable LuneOS Dev-image or latest nightly LuneOS Dev-image
  5. Use the Volume Up and Volume Down keys on your Nexus 4 to select ""install zip" and next "install zip from sideload" and now you should have the following text on your device screen :
    ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.3

    Sideload started ...
    Now send the package you want to apply
    to the device with "adb sideload <filename>" ...
  6. From your PC, execute the following command:
    adb devices
    and if you have the following output
    List of devices attached
     ???????????? no permissions
    then follow the commands to restart the adb server (here in the Troobleshooting part) or if you can not wait (with the root account) :
    # adb kill-server
    # adb start-server
    * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
    * daemon started successfully *
    check now if all works fine :
    # adb devices
    List of devices attached
    your_nexus_serial_number recovery
  7. From your PC, execute the following command:
    adb sideload luneos-dev-package-mako.zip
  8. The image will now install. It will installs both the kernel and the rootfs and now you should have the following text on your device screen :
    Restarting adbd...
    Finding update package...
    Opening update package...
    Installing update...

    Welcome to the LuneOS RootFS Updater

    Mounting system and userdata partitions...
    Copying the LuneOS rootfs tarball...
    Deploying LuneOS...
    Flashing kernel ...
  9. Once completed, reboot the Nexus 4 (In ClockworkMode, use the following entries in the menu: Go Back -> reboot system now -> Go back). (If ClockworkMode asks if you want to 'root device', answer no.)
  10. Your system should now boot directly into LuneOS
