And, although the terminal has only two years have been two generations which have subsequently been released. However, the release of Android 5.0 Lollipop has not occurred at the time, but we had to wait a few days.

While the vast majority of users of the Nexus 4 wait for the update notification to arrive their smartphones via OTA -Over The Air-, the factory image is now available and can be installed on the device manually. To do this, simply follow the procedure developed below:

  2. Restart in Recovery mode.
  3. “Apply update from ADB” with the USB connected to the computer.
  4. Console commands from the computer, enter “adb sideload *** filename ***”

Meanwhile, take the opportunity to remind you that for the time Android 5.0 Lollipop shows a fault management sounds and alerts.
