Can you please help me answer how to install OTA updated with CWM installed. I get this error saying the installation aborted .. it boots into CWM
is there any step by step method to get the new update on nexus 4
Thanks
you need stock rom, no modifications made, and stock kernel for it to work
Download and extract the original 4.2 and fastboot flash system system.img and it'll restore all missing apps.. I had to do it earlier to allow the system to install the update

update manually.
So I got my update but it keeps failing during install. I'm rooted and every time the update starts it kicks over to CWM recovery and stops with a message something like, "do you want to install this untrusted zip file" I say yes but it still fails. I have even tried to manually install the update through CWM but that fails too. My N7 is rooted but otherwise stock, I have not removed any stock apps or flashed roms or kernels so WTF must I do???
Did you not read the posts above yours? CWM recovery is not stock.

I don't know where, but I saw a few posts about working updates to 4.2.1 with CWM recovery.
However, I'm not getting it to work.
How do I get rid of the recovery without loosing the root?
If you are on Windows I find the Nexus 4 Toolkit to be super easy to use. I flashed a stock recovery so I could get the update. Unfortunately, I forgot I had made changes to the stock weather widget so I can't apply the update anymore because of a missing geniewidget.odex file.
You will need to be fully stock to get the update to take as posted earlier in this thread. This is a well known requirement when doing OTA

4.2.1 update getting installation aborted
Hey, can some please post the stock Nexus 4 v4.2 build.prop file? I can't seem to install the v4.2.1 update without it...

Hey,
got an Error over here with stock recovery and root.
However, tengen says he made it with CWM and root - maybe it's because I'm using stuff like Busybox or the Pimp my Rom APK?
EDIT: I think its because of the %-BatteryMod I'm using. I'll try to flash the custom rom.

I've been looking at the threads but so far I don't believe there's one that tells you what to do if you've actually installed the official OTA update?
I.e. I have an rooted 2.3.4 GT-I9023 with an unlocked bootloader. With no clockwork or anything, as to be honest the last time I used it (on my old HTC DHD) it made my phone unstable (the phone would sometimes boot up of its own accord and stop at the clockwork screen).
Does anyone know how to re-root the NS after it's installed the official OTA update without clockwork?
Thanks
Edit: Downloading the OTA update won't relock the boot-loader will it?

You cannot get root back without a custom recovery. OTA will not relock the bootloader, you'll just lose root and custom recovery.
You need to flash custom recovery using fastboot, then flash superuser to get root back. There are plenty of guides in the stickies describing the process.
Ok, so i'm updated to 2.3.6 but of course have lost root (never had CWM to begin with on this phone). Anyone know where I can DL CWM (i'm assuming it needs to be flashed via platform-tools directory in the android sdk per normal) and the latest su file?
EDIT: nvm, I found the latest CWM and successful flashed (my method was correct). However I've not been able to find the latest superuser.zip to flash yet. Also, I don't know why ppl say to use the market as I don't see how that method can work. I've already got superuser installed from before I updated but that doesn't help me get root. Only flashing the zip from recovery (as I understand it) would. Which renders the market useless in this regard.
/confused
The superuser app checks to see if you have the latest superuser binary and will download and instalk it. Or download superuser from within rom manager.

Ok..the binary update fails (because i don't have root) so it's chicken and egg as far as I can tell.
You where already told. Flash custom recovery via fastboot. Boot into it and flash su.zip Same way it was done prior to update to the ota. Same as it always was and will be.

Turns out that CWM got overwritten by stock android recovery. Re-flashing CWM and then flashing su did the trick. I'm rooted once more!

You're welcome.
If you stick with a stock ROM then recovery will reflash every time you reboot. To prevent this you can go to system>etc, and change the file install-recovery.init to something else like install-recovery.init.bak.

Flash the stock kernel. You can do it a number of ways. You can find a cwm zip file with it, use the toolkit to do it, or get the IMG yourself and flash it via fast boot. I had this error earlier.
Install a custom recovery and use it to run the update. If you already have a custom recovery, then that's why you can't run the ota via google possibly.

Any guides on this? Pretty new to android.
Anyone have any thoughts on what I should do?
Did you touch any of your system apps?
Seems more likely your update didn't download fully and it failed and md5 checksum. Just try again next time.
I don't think I touched any of the system apps. I did download Adblock and six axis tool. Anything else to look for?
I've downloaded the update probably 4 different times now and same thing each time.
Anything else I can try?

I didn't change any system apps, and for rooting purposes the only apps I downloaded where Titanium Backup, Sixaxis and Stickmount. Should I remove those?
and OT Rootkeeper. Do I remove root first?

I was getting exactly the same as you Foxman2k, about the unverified whole-file signature when trying the OTA way. I've just followed the advice of the above linked thread and it worked fine. I had to install Quick Boot (Reboot) to get in to Recovery, then update from SD Card, then ensure signature verification is disabled, then select the downloaded .zip file. I did have RootKeeper active, but I don't really understand what that does so not sure if it made any difference.
HTH
I finally managed to get mine to go through, am rooted but running stock and was getting the error with build.prop.
Then it hit me, I am in tablet mode with my screen at 160, so I set it back to 213 and boom it went through.

Alright so I'm tired of the notification for the 4.2.1 update sitting in my notification bar. I rooted my phone right after I got it and did the very first OTA. I am running the latest version of CWM that I manually flashed. I thought I saw somewhere that ClockworkMod automatically installs OTA's, and keeps root when it's done? But every time I reboot to try to OTA, it doesn't work. It shows a little 3D Android with something spinning in it's stomach. CWM then pops up with a menu asking if I would like to install an untrusted zip (I'm assuming Google does something weird to the signature or something). But when I click to proceed, it just aborts after trying to flash.
Any ideas?

CWM doesn't do a every good job with Nexus 4 yet. And OTA usually fails if you have custom recovery.
It is best to ADB sideload the OTA. To keep root, you can use the OTA root keeper app from playstore (free), or just reroot the phone afterward.
Both ways should be easy and painless.

You need to have the stock recovery installed to install the ota update.

Assuming you haven't made any other modifications and you have a custom recovery installed you can just flash the ota like any other rom. Download it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1971169. Put it in your internal storage and flash.

sorry to threadjack, but if i sideload an OTA, will my settings and files be wiped? I am on stock rom.
A doubt
I have a custom recovery (CWM) and have not installed any custom ROM, running Stock 4.2.1
If Google decides to push update 4.2.2 then will it work without me having to do anything. As in will it be a simple painless process ?

OK I tried that but I got a Status 7 error message and it aborted install. I have everything stock that I can think of. No custom kernel. No nothing.

You don't need to flash the stock image and lose your data, but even if you are on stock 4.3 you still need two things: stock recovery (if you don't already have it installed) AND you need to unroot! Being rooted will throw the Status 7 error.
Here's what I did:
First flash the stock recovery for JWR66V in fastboot.
Then use the "Full unroot" option inside SuperSU.
Apply the JWR66Y update using ADB sideload.
Then reinstall TWRP and install UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip using TWRP.
After rebooting you may be surprised to see that the SuperSU app needs to be installed again (seems to be a quirk a lot of us are having). Just head over to Google play and after that all should be good.

Hi, I'm looking forward to doing this step since I really want to get that OTA installed in my device. Mine is on stock ROM, rooted via wugfresh toolkit. My concern is, after doing this step, will I lose all data? Also could you please explain how to do the first step- "First flash the stock recovery for JWR66V in fastboot."? I'm still a bit new to all these things, so please bare with me.

Check out this thread. I flashed the Grouper.zip file, which is the OTA modified by commenting out the validation check that results in the Status 7 error. I copied it to /sdcard along with the Supersu 1.51 zip. The ota flashed perfectly using TWRP recovery. After booting and going back into TWRP, I flashed the supersu1.51 and regained root. You do not need to unroot or flash stock recovery to get this update. No data loss. I'm stock rom & kernel, rooted with TWRP recovery.

You won't lose data if you repeat the steps I took. However since you are asking how to flash a recovery in fastboot I would seriously be careful and do a bit of homework on how fastboot works. All the instructions you'll ever need can be found by searching xda. It really isn't as daunting as it sounds but you definitely need to understand how it works before trying it.
Or you could try the link that Groid posted if you aren't concerned about skipping the validation check. The process is definitely is simpler if you're "new to all these things".
I'm not opposed to using WugFresh's toolkit, he's a brilliant developer, but it's never a bad idea to learn about what happens in the background and see it with your own eyes.

I've tried manually downloading it and flashing it through recovery like it was a custom ROM and still get the same error.
How can I update my tablet with 4.3 and stay completely stock? Is there a ROM to flash or something? Thanks!

Same here. I even tried unrooting to apply the update and then root again after. Couldn't get the thing to unroot!
Had the same problem. The update will fail if you've installed a custom recovery. Re-flash the stock recovery and the update should work.
