Ubuntu on unrooted Nexus 4 - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any easy tutorial for installation of ubuntu on unrooted nexus 4?
I see on their sites and found little complicated. And on xda general section of nexus 4 there is one for rooted nexus 4s.
Thank you.

You don't need root. Flash a custom recovery in fastboot mode

Have you tampered with your stock rom, eg. deleted or changed some of the original apps? Im just guessing there is a reason you got a custom recovery in the first place?

Can we develop a temp boot for gs4?

Has anyone developed a temp boot that would allow us to temporarily boot to stock of the storage card similar to the galaxy s2 could.

You can dual boot stock.......its not quite what ur link is but it'll work the same....

I'm interested in trying that out, but at the same time, kind of hesitant. It would be nice to have both Sacs and CM11 at the same time though!

[Q] SGH-I337, where to start

So my friend has a galaxy s4 that he wants to root, custom recovery, roms.. Etc. So I was wondering where to start? I Have done this to a galaxy note 1. And I know Odin is needed but just would like help with the process for the s4, and possibly links to find what I need. Basically I will be helping with root and flashing a recovery. I know Samsung phones already have a unlocked bootloader. Any help will be thanked!

Everything depends on the current firmware on the phone.

Nb1 is 4.4.2. Mk2 is 4.3. In a terminal emulator on your phone type
su
getprop ro.bootloader
It'll tell you what your on, look at the last few characters

It depends on what firmware you're currently on. The s4 is not an easy device to root and rom and the roms available to you are only touch wiz based. You might want to consider not messing with your friends phone.
