Nexus 4 Bootloader Collection

[fkrone]

As there is no collection of Nexus 4 bootloaders yet I decided to do so. I only pull bootloaders out of the OTAs so if there is a new version available only as factory image I don't provide you a flashable zip. Also please note that only build numbers with a factory image are listed here (to see a full list in which version which bootloader was the current one have a look on the XDA wiki)

Flashing is at your own risk! I am not responsible for bricked phones.
In my opinion the flashable zip is as risky to flash as an OTA update as it uses the same commands.

Thanks to:
efrant for also providing flashable bootloader zips and helped me to fix a really stupid bug

Which bootloader is this?

As there is no collection of Nexus 4 bootloaders yet I decided to do so. As there is for me only one bootloader available (I don't have the bootloader from the pre-release ROM) I only can provide it to you at the moment. But I will add more bootloader as soon as they are out.

I will also try to make a PC program for that which is easy to use. As it is ready it will be added.

Is this the bootloader from 4.2.1?

Hi,
Yes it's actually the latest version.

 

[efrant]

The z10o bootloader can be found here.

 

[ChosSimbaOne]

Just to make sure, z10o is the latest botloader right?

what's the different between the two version?

 

[Hitorijanae]

The nexus devices are meant to be sent without any carrier intervention. I ordered mine from T-Mobile, where they love to lock you out, however rooting my nexus was easy as paranoid pie

hello fellows, i have one questin for you, i come from sony xperia s to nexus 4, i have oreder it troug my operator..
so is nexus 4 bootloader allways unlockable or some carriers lock bootloader status to - no? since it is a google open sorce device

Bootloader is always unlockable on Nexus devices.

does it have simlock on the operator pages it says sim lock-no, but lady in support wasnt shure about it.?
thnx in davance

Unsure. Some Nexus devices in the past have had carrier SIM locks. (Mostly Orange and Vodafone I believe). I most cases, Nexus devices are not carrier SIM locked.

what's the different between the two version?

I too am wondering this exact question. I am currently on makoz10l. I'm tempted to switch however I don't know if I'll even benefit from it aside from it being a newer bootloader.

If someone could shed some light on the differences between the two or how we would benefit from the newer bootloader I'd be most thankful. I will click thanks

Doesn't 4.2.2 ship with a newer hboot?

hboot lol. after dealing with my wife HTC, I have a serious hatred for h-boot and all things HTC if I'm working with custom roms and kernels. but yes, 4.2.2 has the latest bootloader.

[metal571]

z20i is definitely working. Another confirmation.

Is it just me or does it look like they increased the font size in fastboot mode? lol
