Step 4. Extract the MRA58K update file you downloaded above, using a free software like 7-zip on your PC.

Step 6. Boot your Nexus device into fastboot mode:

  • Power off the device.
  • Press and hold both Volume Down and Power button together until you see anything on screen. Fastboot should be written at top.

That’s it. Once all files installed, your Nexus device will have the MRA58K build running.
