Let's start, perhaps, with a little accession. What is a custom firmware? Custom firmware is a specially modified and modified firmware by either a specific user or a group of developers. Any firmware that is not done by the manufacturer is custom. Usually, the firmware data has a big functionality than standard and have better performance. Due to the presence of longer support and a huge number of "buns", many, including me, prefer to use custom.

If you have questions and comments, write in the comments.

Two weeks ago, in Halloween, google Company promised that factory firmware and binary codes Android 4.4 Kitkat for Nexus 4, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 will be published immediately after these devices receive air updates.

And despite the fact that not all the tablets have received automatic update Before Android 4.4 Kitkat, factory firmware with this version of the system (Android 4.4 KRT16O assembly) are already published on the Google server. You can download them and install on your tablet or smartphone yourself. How to do this, read in the continuation.

This news will also please those who would like to return to the stock of Android after installing a custom firmware, such as Cyanogenmod, Paranoid Android, etc.

Note: Keep in mind that if your bootloader Nexus 7. Blocked, during the firmware there will be a complete loss of all your personal data on the tablet. You can unlock the bootloader using the FastBoot program, which will also damage the data. On the Nexus 4 and Nexus 10 Unlock the downloader without data loss, you can use bootunlocker.

Note 2: If the loader is unlocked, you can install a new firmware without losing data, but in some cases, after that, the tablet or phone is not loaded, so be prepared for what you have to flash your device with data loss and take care of their backup .

Requirements:

First of all, for the firmware, you will need a computer with Android SDK installed on it, or rather - AdB and FastBoot programs going with it. How to install Android SDK read in this material.

Also, you will use the microUSB cable to connect the tablet to the computer. It is better to use a cable from a tablet delivery kit.

How to unlock the loader on Nexus 7 using fastboot:

1. Connect the tablet to the computer and download it to the bootloader mode (by the ADB Reboot Bootloader command or turning it off and turning it on by simultaneously pressing the on and down volume buttons).

2. Enter the command in the command line (terminal) window:

fastBoot OEM Unlock.

Confirm unlock (volume increases buttons, then inclusion).

Instructions for firmware tablets and Nexus phones

1. Download the factory image with the firmware for your tablet model (for example, Nexus 7 Wi-Fi 2013 has the name Razor, and Nexus 7 Wi-Fi 2012 - Nakasi) from this page of Google. This image contains the system itself, the loader, the factory recovery, the kernel (boot.img) and the radio modulus (not included for Wi-Fi models). Therefore, if you installed, for example, an alternative recovery, after the firmware it will replace on the stock.

2. Unpack the downloaded TGZ (tar / gz) archive in separate folder. I use Total Commander for these purposes, but you can use a separate archiver, such as 7-Zip.

3. This step is needed if you want to avoid data loss during the firmware:

With anyone text editor Open (carefully! Open and do not run!) Flash-all.bat file (if you have Windows) or Flash-all.sh (Mac, Linux) and remove two characters -W in a string with the FastBoot Update command. For example, if in the line it is written: fastboot -w update image-razor-jss15j.zip, after editing it should look like FastBoot Update Image-Rezor-jss15j.zip. Save the file. (It is the option -w option leads to data cleaning.)

4. Restart the tablet to the bootloader mode, make sure that it is connected to the computer and run the Flash-All.Bat script (or Flash-all.sh on Mac, Linux).

Congratulations, you did it!

For safety reasons (so that no one can remove the screen unlocking key of your device and did not receive access to your data in case of loss or theft of a tablet or smartphone), it is recommended to keep the bootloader in a locked form. To do this, there is a FastBoot OEM Lock command (for Nexus 7) or the Bootunlocker application mentioned above for Nexus 10 and Nexus 4.

Root on tablet or smartphoneNexus after firmwareAndroid 4.4.Kitkat.

Get root for Nexus is very simple. To do this, you will need a unlocked loader and modified recovery. I would recommend you to use TWRP. Download last version TWRP recovery You can from here. To do this, click on the "Get TWRP for Your Device" button and type the name of the tablet in the window that opens (for example - Nexus 10).

1. Connect the tablet to the computer and download it to the bootloader mode (how to do it - read above)

2. Enter the command in the command line (terminal) window:

fastBoot Flash Recovery Name Filelarkavry.img

3. Now you can restart the tablet to a new recovery using the team:

aDB Reboot Recovery.

In addition, the tablet recovery mode and Nexus smartphones can be restarted, turning it off completely and turn on by pressing simultaneously and holding the volume and inclusion buttons.

4. Download zip file. from new version SuperSU.

5. Watch the downloaded zip file (without unpacking!) Using TWRP
