How to install Android on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus KitKat 4.4.2

Hello friends, in today's tutorial we will see how to install the new Android 4.4.2 KitKat operating system on Samsung Galaxy Nexus I9250 (YAKJU - MAGURO). As I told you in the tutorial Presentation of the new Android KitKat 4.4 the Samsung Galaxy Nexus device has exceeded the 18-month deadline, within which Google is committed to offering the official update to a new version of Android. In other words, because the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is older than 18 months, it no longer receives updates to the new Android versions. Another reason why Google no longer offers new versions of Android for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is the fact that Texas Instruments, the chip maker that Galaxy Nexus also has, has withdrawn from the market and there is no support for the chip. TI OMAP 4460. The latter reason is not officially supported by Google but most enthusiasts have reached this conclusion even if Google, with the launch of Android 4.4 KitKat also launched the project "Svelte" designed to bring Android KitKat even on smartphones slightly weaker with only 512 MB RAM.
Yet, even without official support from Google, because there are very passionate community of developers who still own a Galaxy Nexus, we can install Android 4.4.2. We do this manually, basically we install CyanogenMod which is based on Android version 4.4.2
To put into practice what we proposed we need the following:
- Java JDK
- Android SDK
- CyanogenMod Nightly 11 for Samsung Galaxy Nexus (maguro) (Basically .zip archive that contains the operating system that we're going flash-ui)
- Gapps package for CyanogenMod 11 (Applications Google Play Store, Gmail, Hangouts)
- ClockworkMod Recovery for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus recovery image that our device will temporarily flash to flash CyanogenMod then 11 (OS) and package Gapps
- OPTIONAL Universal ADB Drivers (Universal for any smartphone Anddroid regardless of operating system used), if you have problems with recognition device in Fastboot mode drivers, install ADB
CAREFUL!: In the end, before starting the tutorial video performing steps I recommend you turn off security software (antivirus and firewall) so that they could prevent proper running executables and scripts used in the installation and flash uire. Use original data cable that came with your phone and connect it to the front USB ports (located in front of the computer), avoid using intermediaries like USB hubs and other extension during the entire process. Do not rush, look carefully tutorial video, he preferred to look head-tail and then to go to work. If you have questions, ask!
Changes to the device obtained by putting into practice what has been shown in this video tutorial, are not definitive. You can revert to stock the operating system or more specifically, the device can be reset at any time state that it was when you first started. If you request the comments section, I'll do a tutorial on how the operating system back to stock.

      CyanogenMod has always come with root!
      They are ROMs that come with root and rom sites that do not come with root. I did not say that you need root to do something. I mentioned only in general comes with CyanogenMod root, Superuser option located in settings.
      Installing an application that requires root and when it will need permission for that rum comes with root, it will be displayed pop-up that asks you if you give permission application or not.

  19. ADRIAN, I received updates on the phone but did not know how to do to update automatically. How do lose data to update? I said something to recovery.
    Thanks.

    • Adrian Gudus said

      Update'll receive every day (except Sunday) because it is a version Nightly! It is normal to happen if you knew what Nightly version.
      To make the update you have to download it and the archive containing the new version will be downloaded to the "cmupdater" folder in the phone's memory (you can reach it with ES FileExplorer or any other file manager)
      After the update has been downloaded, connect your phone via data cable to your computer, enable USB debugging (which is called CyanogenMod Android debugging same thing)
      Go to the folder where you have the adb executable and do as in the tutorial, hold down the Shift key and right click by choosing from the context menu "open command windows here"
      In CMD write the following commands and press Enter after each command:
      adb devices
      adb reboot bootloader (wait for the phone in Fastboot Mode to go, where do you see that big green Android mascot)
      then type the following command once you get into Fastboot Mode:
      fastboot boot recovery.img
      (Assuming you still have everything set as the tutorial, recovery.img image should be in the same location adb.exe)
      The phone will boot into recovery and from there all you have to do is go to install zip from sd card then chose zip from sd card, touch the folder “0 /” then scroll (with a swype gesture upwards because the recovery mentioned in the tutorial supports touch gestures) up to the cmupdater folder, touch it to enter it and there you will have the archive that was downloaded when you received the notification with the update
      Touch the archive and choose yes install…
      Wait for it to install and then you reboot system now and that is all.
      You will not lose anything, no applications, no call logs, text or photos, videos, etc.
      And in the future if you want longer apply updates that will come, do the same.

      • Thank you very much! I'll get to do the update.

        Mentioned in the tutorial that recovery.img can be put into the phone without having to use the PC at each update. I understood well? I do not know where you should put the image as a telephone and launch.

        • Adrian Gudus said

          There simply must be put in the phone but must flashuita. That you can do it manually all by adb or simply the application ROM Mamanger existence in Play Store. Install ROM Manager and its interface will have the option to install ClockworkMod Recovery (see Recovery Setup menu of the application interface)

  20. How does root the Samsung Galaxy Young S6310?

  21. I applied and this version! Greatly facilitates update.
    An important issue!
    It is important to use and one / all actions: wipe Dalvik cache, data / factory reset, cache partition?

    • Adrian Gudus said

      If you do this you will lose installed applications, you will need to reinstall applications again, and restore the preferences set in Settings (if you somehow configured in a certain way phone)
      What's in internal memory (seen as SD card ie pictures, music, videos, downloads, will not be lost)

    Salut.Se can make a tutorial for Samsung Galaxy S4 (I9505)? Thank you very much.

  24. Hello,
    Very good tutorial, I think is good and one to return to the stock version. I guess the first recovery choose the option back and after it achieved back-up uses wipe sites you mentioned (and that before fastboot oem unlock command aaa right?).
    Question: Does that back-up give you an image of the current system, ie exactly as it is with OS + app + settings? Something like an image (with norton ghost for example) as can be done on windows… this as an analogy.
    Thanks.

  39. @ Adrian Hello! I have a serious problem with samsung galaxy nexus i9250. Unfortunately, not all can be accessed via USB cable (ie no longer recognizes windows, I even tried to connect to a live ubuntu, but the same). Another problem is the fact that there is no room work (black screen opening) and heat at the top near the camera lens.
    The question is whether it can route the OTA to make a 4.3 only with WIFI. I mean is it possible to route the exclusively through wifi. When you go into recovery says it's locked. I put a picture of maguro, but not seen. Before I say brick or parts I would give him a chance :)
    Thank you

    • Adrian Gudus said

      I didn't understand from your comment if the phone is still functional or not. Is it still booting? I didn't even understand how you put a picture of maguro and where you put it? What do you mean he didn't see her, where he didn't see her, when he didn't see her? I'm afraid you're confusing recovery with the bootloader. Where exactly does it say "locked"?

      • @ Adrian is semi-functional phone if I may say so. The USB port can use only for charging only, otherwise Windows does not recognize the phone (and belonged to someone else before I received it). Thus, unable to access cable I installed WiFi File Explorer PRO GPlay (by doublou) and I copied the image from PC memory whisk away (https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/imagesDirectory) storage / sdcard0.
        In fastboot write Lock state: Locked. I checked and USB debugging
        I thought if I could to route the over WiFi and to put another ROM will be able to access telu cable :).
        Currently running an android 4.2.1, I9250XXLH1 baseband version, build number JOP40D.I9250XWMA2

  40. I want to do an update of android Allview Quad A5 I want to bag android and android 4.2.2 4.3 or 4.4 Android KitKat preferable? can Adrian? if you want to do a tutorial or explain in writing less and I know

    • If you want to install the official update from producer I'm afraid that is not possible because only the updates Allview December at the top of their smartphone launched in March 2013 from the 4.1.2 4.2.2 and in any case will not upgrade a low end phone (low spec). But you can try to flash a rom custom uiesti. That is a modified android passion certain people based on latest version of Android. In order to have more chances to find a rom for your phone looking Chinese counterpart. Because it does not produce Allview uieste rebranded products from china. Flash tutorials about you on the website you find the search box. Before you grab flash uire read all the details about that rum and comments from people who have installed. Make a backup and know the work you do on your risk. This may cause problems. We are not responsible for an eventual brick-uire (bringing the phone to a state of nefunctionalitata, brick = brick). Good luck and follow carefully all the tutorials. You have many tutorials mobile section bone. And lest you get any rom for another phone besides your own. For sure it will lead to brick. Read the patient and document it. This operation will void the warranty flash. But if you're good you can do in place by installing a rom oficiial Allview. Bafta!

  41. Hello and thank you very much for this tutorial! I just finished browsing and now I play with my new 4.4.2
    Once again, thank you!

    • Hi again, after playing a bit with 4.4.2 I came across a rather annoying error… when I wanted to call or receive calls, I got the message "process com.android.incallui stopped working" and I had no how to close or respond. I searched a bit on the net but it seems that this problem is not solved yet. I have returned to stock 4.3 for now and I wanted to ask you if you had this problem with 4.4.2. Thank you!
