My Nexus 7 was updated 2 days after Android 4.3 was released. It was neat. I didn’t know anything was going on, and after it had downloaded all the OS, it just prompted me to reboot to install the software. It was late and I was tired so I didn’t realize that I didn’t update the root, so I had a wonderful trip trying to root it back. Couldn’t do it with the same toolkit, not available for 4.3.
I’ve waited long enough for Nexus 4, so when I read about a way to force the update I was intrigued. Here it is in a nutshell.
I’ve waited long enough for Nexus 4, so when I read about a way to force the update I was intrigued. Here it is in a nutshell.
- Go to Apps in Setting. Opt of All Apps, that’s 2 swipe to the right in Apps.
- Look for Google Services Framework then opt Clear Data. Yes, you read right, no need to go back. Clear Data.
- Then you opt System Update in Setting > About Phone. Look, your phone thinks the last time it checked was in the 1970. Weird. Go Check Now. Your phone might update the 4.3, it might not.
- If it didn’t, don’t despair. Clear Data again. No, it’s not a mistake. Some people need to do it several times. I did it 3 times. Then it downloaded the 160 something meg to update to 4.3.
- That’s it.

However, just for precaution, back up your data first.
Good luck and let me know how it goes.
