How do I update my Nexus through the computer?

Hello everybody,
I own a Samsung Galaxy Nexus and since the 4.2 Android update was available I checked my updates and it doesn't show up where my friend's nexus 4 got it immidiately.
My question is, what's the potentional causes of this, and could updating from the computer solve this (also how do we update from the PC, I am really new to the Android world) ?
Thanks a lot.

Follow this guide.
Note that if you have the Verizon version there's no official 4.2 available as of yet, head over the development section to grab a 4.2 ROM instead.

If you have the VZW nexus, you won't get it. It has already been pushed out to the other ones.

Actually, this guide is the one to update incrementally with: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419170.
Also, you could adb sideload your update, if you're fully stock, google it from android police, i believe...

[Q] BLE on Nexus 10 KitKat (KRT16S)

Hello everyone,
I read this thread about a patch for Bluetooth Low Energy Support on Android 4.3 for the Nexus 10:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387107
Sadly, I cannot post there, so my question goes here. Carlos_Manuel deleted the link to the patch for Android 4.4 because:
"There's no need for that on KitKat because most of the KK ROMs for Nexus has the support for BLE"
When I try a BLE App on my Nexus 10 I only get the error "BLE is not supported!". Does this mean that it will not be possible to use BLE on my device or is there a patch somewhere and I just can't find it?

I have the same problem on kitkat."BLE is not supported!". I am also looking for a manual/patch.
I only found a Bluetooth Low Energy Enabler app in the playstore (root required, 4.3, non-free), but I did not test this.

I installed the jellybean snapshot of cyanogenmod (10.2). And the BluetoothBleGatt Sample works!

[Q] Do any KitKat ROMs support Bluetooth Low Energy?

I have a stock, unrooted Galaxy Nexus GSM purchased new from Google currently running 4.3.
I have a FitBit Flex which will only sync with phones that have Bluetooth Low Energy support.
I can not find any information on any of the KitKat ROMs out there for Galaxy Nexus to see if I install it, will Bluetooth LE work?
If it does then work, my next concern would be if the FitBit app would recognize that the Bluetooth LE works and it would then be able to sync, or if it simply would still see it as a Galaxy Nexus which they do not list as a supported device: http://www.fitbit.com/devices
If anyone can offer me some advice here, I'd greatly apprecaite it!
Thanks.
(btw, sorry if this is in the wrong froum. please move it if it is)

With any kitkat rom I install only the modified apk from that thread and everything is ok!
Il you wanna stay with 4.3 you must install btle libraries as mentioned in the thread.

Gnex supports BLE with almost every KK rom.
(try BLE Checker on play store: on my Vanir says Supported!)

yes, and wrong place to ask this

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
I used The Nexus Root Toolkit (by WugFresh) to Unolock and Root my GNex. Then I used the link you gave me to get the BTLE files and the FitBit apk. I installed everything and it freakin' works!!! I'm so happy!
I'm so annoyed at Google for letting support of this device go after only 18 months. I bought it because they praised it as being thee flagship, unaltered, always up-to-date phone to have. I figured I'd be on the latest version of Android with this phone for many years. I wanted to keep it stock, but they've forced me to now go rooted. I suppose I could now flash a KK ROM, but I'm not sure what that would benefit me at this point.
Thank you again SO much for your help and fast reply! (Even if I did post this in the wrong place!)
Love XDA!

Ok, so I have to update what happened. Everything seemed to be working fine until I got into my car. My GPS has a bluetooth connection. It would connected, but then almost immediately the Bluetooth service would crash on my phone. Happened over and over again. Even after a reboot. Then when I got home, I tried it with my bluetooth speaker. Same exact thing. I figure the bluetooth binaries that I installed screwed up my connections that used to work. I even tried re-pairing them. Didn't help.
I gave up and decided to wipe everything and flash KK. I used CM11 nightly. Now everything, so far, is working as expected. GPS, speaker & fitbit. CM KK takes some getting used to over stock JB. I don't know what changes are KK and which are CM.

Hi,
I am using this ROM for a while now and I'm happy with it.
The only problem I have is Bluetooth audio streaming to a Bluetooth speaker.
It works perfect with version 7.8, but all other versions above I'm having problems with proper streaming.
Anyone else experience that?
Any ideas?

Waiz for.next.build. SlimRoms.merged a lot of upstream changes for Bluetooth now.

Thanks for your quick response.
Do you know about this problem? It's working very good with 7.8, but all other versions are really bad for Bluetooth.
Anyway, I wait until you compile and upload the next release, and then I give it a try.
Thanks to you and I really appreciate your work. :thumbup:

Newest Build
Hi,
i just installed Version 9 of this rom and it is actually very good and very fast.
I am just having the problem to create any folder on my homescreen.
If i move one icon over the other one it just jumps away.
Can anyone tell me how i can create a folder, to put some icons in there like for example a Systemfolder for all apps they have to do with system, or any other folder?
OK, finally i am able to geht some folders. But if i give them a name , i cant See für Name unless i open the folder.
And also the Name of the apps are gone.
Is that normal? Anyone have any idea?
Thanks.

Kies only works for unrooted stock roms.
If you want to backup contacts, sms etc. take avlook on My Phone Explorer.

The thing is I have made an backup of my device applications, contacts and all by using Samsung kies before flashing this slimkat 9 ROM. Now as I want to restore those apps, instead to download them all over again, I can't connect with kies.
So if you can give me some tips how to get those apps restored back on my tab, it would be a great help.
P.S - I love this ROM, my first custom ROM. Plz help

There is no way to get Kies work on custom roms.
Maybe google if there is a way to extract a kies backup.

LTE working?
So I searched through the CM 11, CM 10.2 and CM10.1 threads and am curious if LTE works on these ROMs?
Can anyone comment on if LTE works on the current snapshot/nightlies and if there are any LTE related issues? (I saw bluetooth support on 10.1/10.2 had some issues with diff firmware, does CM 11 suffer that as well?)

LTE
The LiquidSmooth ROM has LTE and bluetooth functionality; however there are some problems with video (Netflix, YouTube, etc.).

Upgrading from CM 10.1 to CM11 Clarification (New to this)
Thanks so much for your hard work on this project and others. I have a very stable running 10.1 setup that I just performed last week. I installed just as described and have TWRP 2.6.0.0 and the 2nd boot loader provided for that install. WORKS GREAT!
I wish to now go ahead though and upgrade again to the CM 11, and 4.4.2 etc.. I have read through both threads and still have a couple of questions... First- Do I need to JUST upgrade the TWRP to 2.7.*.*?, and if so what is the best way to do that ie. Run ADB commands again. Or, use something like FlashFly that I have seen used. Or, do I need to also load another new bootloader as well?. I assume if that is the case I would need to just run back through the whole ADB process again to just get to where I can Flash the latest CM release and Gapps.
Sorry if this seems like some basic information, but I am very new to this and am LOVING IT!... And your work Hashcode, as well as all of the other input from other users..
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated..
Thanks in advance!

Flash error
Still cannot quite figure this upgrade out. Seems I have lost ADB now.. When I use the
"fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader kfhd8-u-boot-prod-8.1.4.bin" line I get Target reported max download size of 1006632960 bytes
error: cannot load 'kfhd8-twrp-2.7.0.0-recovery.img' : no error
Lost on this... ARRRRGGGG
---------- Post added at 07:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 PM ----------
s I stated earlier the 10.1 install and upgrade went off without a hitch.. Pretty sure I just need to upgrade from 2.6 to 2.7 and then flash the new CM11 package and GAAPS, but I cannot figure out how to upgrade. This is very frustrating indeed.

Oh.. Secret Cynogen Menu for ADB.. LOL
Oh my.. Feeling like the fool. I had not heard of or read about the Developers Menu in Cm til just now. Obviously I know now why ADB was not working... LOL.... Maybe I can get this CM 11 installed now..
GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ.

(Solved) Upgrading from CM 10.1 to CM11 Clarification Flash Issue
Ok, so that ONE little tidbit of information about how to activate "developers" menu in CyanogenMod was what was causing me to pull my hair out trying t figure out why I could no longer use ADB script and flash commands after I first installed CM10. That darn simple. That should be included for those of us that are new to doing this. Tap 4 times.....
Oh My... Well, maybe this 10 post limit will be up soon so I can actually start to engage and learn and assist.

USB OTG Support
This build has been awesome for my KFHD. I bought it just because this was available.
My issue, though, right now, is that I can't get my OTG to work with a USB stick, or with a wireless keyboard/mouse. I have tried with both the ADB enabled and disabled, but no recognition of a device attached. I even double checked it against my Xperia Z3 just to be sure that it wasn't my cable. I have tried multiple apps as well with no luck. So, either, A) I am dumb (quite possible) and am doing something wrong, or B) the support isn't there yet.
I am running cm-11-20150309-NIGHTLY-jem.zip
If I am doing something wrong, please, let me know. Otherwise, are their plans to include it? If I were more linux literate, I would work on it myself, but I just haven't gotten to that level yet.
On a side note, is CM-12 in the works for Jem? Just curious.
Again, thank you so much for all your hard work, this is amazing.

And the GPS doesn't work.

Multi users
Is multi users supported on CM11? When I look under Settings > Device the "User" option is missing and as far as I know it should be supported in 4.4. Any way to get this feature working?

Present on mine.
That option is available on my 8.9 Jem. Running the March 30th nightly.
