Don't think so!!

Have you had a look at Side Loading the Image from Google's Developer Website?

Liquid_Entity · 25 Nov 2013 at 13:29

Yeah I'll probably end up doing that tonight

Is the search bar still off-centre on the homescreen when you use that method? It's insignificant, but it'd annoy me I think.

Not from what I can see, it looks bang on to me.

As long as you have the latest Google search update installed, the bar will be central.

It sounds like you need to install the google USB driver then enter fastboot. https://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html

Are you sure you're on fastboot?

hey,

the google usb is showing as installed on the sdk manager. I have adb and fastboot, tried fastboot devices and it is not showing anything.

Really think the phone is goosed!

Snax · 25 Nov 2013 at 21:18

Fastboot driver is totally separate from usb one. There are loafs of threads with the universal fastboot driver on (oddly the one I used was a Samsung driver).

Install that and then the fastboot OEM devices command should show your device

What's happening in device manager when in fastboot?

I had a code 28 error pop up.

All I did when I got the nexus 7 was put root on it. That wouldn't have any affect would it??

Have you installed a custom Recovery?

Cob · 26 Nov 2013 at 17:13

Looks like he's using Windows 8.1.

AFAIK adb isn't working on it yet.

Snax · 26 Nov 2013 at 19:17

It is cos I flashed 4.4 onto my nexus 4 in an 8.1 version of windows.

Go to your fastboot folder in cmd and type /fastboot OEM devices.

That should give you the device ID if all is working.

System update available. 4.4?

Do I want it lol, loads of apps didn't work when I briefly had the nexus 5.

Devious · 26 Nov 2013 at 20:45

Like what??? I've not found any!!

There's a few on the Nexus 4 & 5 only if you use ART rather than DALVIK.

Devious · 26 Nov 2013 at 22:26

There was a few. Boat browser was one. Seems to have been updated now though.
