With the help of a USB cable you can connect your PC to the Nexus 4. To get the latest version of adb which supports sideload you can download “Android SDK.” While in the same directory, you can make the following command and type: adb sideload de8b8d101614.signed-occam-JDQ39-from-JOP4OD.de8b8d10.zip . At this point, a bar will indicate the progress which will soon reach 100%. This completes the successful installation of Android 4.2.2.
