Ota update keeps failing

Can't install 4.2.2 ota and from what I have read its because I have custom recovery? How do I go back to stock recovery or is there a flashable stock 4.2.2 update I can use ?

Use fastboot and the recovery image available through a link in that thread to go back to the stock recovery.
Or you could simply flash 4.2.2 through your recovery;

Yes, the custom recovery is what's causing the OTA self installation to fail. You must download the update to your phone, boot into twrp or cwm, and install the update zip.

Using a toolkit is most likely the reason why the OP doesn't know how to flash recovery. Using a toolkit again would continue the cycle...

I would use a toolkit you can find here on xda instead of goo

You have to root the phone first before you can use goo

Or simply fastboot but I've heard of some guys how had problems when they tried to install it using goo. But if it's no problem on the nexus 4 go on
Btw normally it should be possible to flash the recovery without root if you use fastboot, right?

yup, you dont need root to flash a recovery via fastboot. and you dont need root to flash a custom rom/kernel via your custom recovery. you will gain root if you flash a custom rom via recovery, because all custom roms come with root(except if you flash a pure stock/aosp rom).

Downgrading back to 4.2.2

I updated my nexus 4 to 4.3 and now the nexus root toolkit can't root it ........ so i'm trying to downgrade to 4.2.2 to root
or, if possible root the 4.3 android ..... any ideas ?
In the Nexus 4 Toolkit, follow the instructions to install TWRP, then download chainfire's SU binary for the nexus 4 and flash it. Bam! You're rooted.

Lots of ideas... Don't rely on a toolkit to start with. Second, employ some intrepid googling with queries like "root android 4.3".
Chainfire has a version of supersu that will work for 4.3, easily installed via custom recovery like TWRP. No need to go back to 4.2.2. :thumbup:

Will this operation wipe your data?
Rooting won't wipe your data. (Assuming you already have an unlocked bootloader)
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
No I don't. I locked the bootloader with bootlocker since I didn't install custom ROM's jet.
Bootloader is now automatically locked because root is gone.

First of all, do you have a custom recovery like TWRP or CMW? Or do you have the stock recovery?

[Q] rooting nexus 4 with 4.3

Hi Guys, I want to root my nexus 4 running 4.3 but I have heard it is not as easy to do since the update, any help please.
P.S: this will be my first attempt at rooting. :fingers-crossed:
I would be interested in knowing how to too.
Background info: I was rooted before this latest update, so my bootloader is still unlocked. Are there any one click method that can work with 4.3?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I used both toolkits that are stickied in the Orig Dev thread to root 4.3. Was extremely simple.

You can also use ClockworkMod's superuser program instead, if you prefer. It has worked flawlessly for me on 4.3.
The 4.3 permission issues have been resolved in both programs (although in different ways).
For superuser go here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.superuser&hl=en
Click on "Read More".
Click on the url link for Manual installation with the recovery zip (Recommended if you are having installation issues or are not rooted), and download the file.
Flash recovery in fastboot and then flash superuser in recovery.
Rooting 4.3 is identical to rooting 4.2 (or any other version really) with the exception of requiring an updated su application. The only difference is the implementation, which you as the end user shouldn't have to worry about as long as it's working okay.
