What should I do to not get the OTA? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I wanna keep lte, and I have no issues with 4.2.1
Because once the ota comes the stupid notification doesn't go away
Should I root? I heard if you're rooted you don't get the OTA

If you don't have stock ROM or Kernal the update should fail - I think.

Just ignore the request to update once it comes into your phone.

you just need to reinstall the old modem once you updated to get LTE back

How to root and load custom rom

I have a galaxy s4 on at&t and have been wanting to root and load a custom rom. I found the thread to load a root load a custom rom and by pass bootloader. I noticed at the top of the thread it has update and says with Build Number I337UCUAMF3 that it won't work. Does anybody know how to root and load custom roms for this build number or am stucking waiting for a work around. Thank you for any replys.
You're stuck waiting for a work around.
Could I use odin to roll back to i337ucuamdl?
you are on hold sir.
Could just root to get WiFi tether back.

Ya some of us should have blocked the update from happening....
I am sad to say, that there is no way back to MDL, but I'm sure someone is working on a bootloader fix on MF3, so hold for awhile.
Ok. Hopefully soon. Getting bored of stock ROM.

With my Captivate (SGS1) and my SGS2 I flashed a new ROM every couple of weeks... with the SGS4, I love the stock ROM with some minor tweaks using Xposed.

I still have a G3 here also, it isn't going anywhere either..
Not rooted yet. Was thinking of it for wifi tether. But is rooting really worth it without being able to to unlock bootloader.

You can at least do more than what you can do now, with root, you can at least mod the rom your on.

Question about OTA

Since I'm rooted with custom rom/kernel, my guess is that I won't get ota. But I can flash the image in bootloader.
Since my favorite roms are 4.2, and it looks like my favorite kernels are in the same boat I feel like I should wait.
If I wanna keep them I should wait? Right

If u want to use 4.2 ROMs, it seems obviously you should wait updating yeah.
And no u wont get OTA when on custom recovery, neither on custom rom/kernel.

You can install the OTA manually but you wont be able to install the OTA from the system updates setting.

Update to 4.3

I'm trying to get the system update from the settings but it keep saying that is my device is up to date.
anyone know why??
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Honestly, it should come up naturally..If it doesn't work, you can always download the stock image from Google site and flash it manually.. Just search for the name efrant in this forum, you'll get what you seek

I only got my N4 on Tuesday and the 4.3 update appeared within minutes. Are you on WiFi, maybe that makes a difference

Pretty sure you only get the update on stock rom. Are you sure the update isn't from PA?
Nope, i checked the Settings in System updates and got a message about 4.3 system update.

[Q] KitKat on Nexus 4

guys, do you think our Nexus 4 can get a KitKat update ?
And what about if Nexus 4 unlock bootloader, stock 4.3, and unroot ? still get OTA's update ?
sorry if my question is weird. but this makes me so curious.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Of course it'll get kitkat.
And yes you shouldn't have any issues getting the ota. As long as everything is stock you are fine. Bootloader state (unlocked or locked) has nothing to do with your ability to receive otas.

thanks.
sometimes I was very hesitant to get otas update.

Upgrading from 4.2 to 4.4.. Will I lose root & LTE?

So pretty much as title states.. just wanted to find out whether I'd have to re-root the phone and if I would lose LTE (I think I would lose LTE, but not sure about root)? Also, overall, is 4.4 worth upgrading to?
thanks lots!
IMHO update is definitely worth it. You'll lose root and LTE. But you can easily just reroot and flash a LTE radio.

This device is so easy to root don't worry about it. Do you have a custom recovery? If so find the update.zip. If you don't try the ota. If you've changed system files out probably won't work but if you haven't it will

i actually used to have 4.3 on this nexus, but reverted back to 4.2 because when i did it, you couldn't have LTE with 4.3.. so you saying you can flash the radio with 4.4 now?
