Hi Folks,
So, something weird is happening to my phone--every time I attempt to enter the "Security" settings in my phone, the Settings app crashes.
Observations:
1. This happened when I attempted to add my company e-mail via the Email app.
2. Initial sync failed, so I removed the account and added it again.
3. Tried to add it again, success! It asked my to enter a 4-digit lock screen pin (for security).
4. Removed it again, but still can't open "Security".
This results in me not able to set (a) a new lock screen pattern (stuck with "Slide"), and (b) I cannot modify "Device Administrators".
Tried wiping data/cache/davlik cache, still no dice
I'm running stock everything. Rooted. 4.2.2.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

So were you rooted when you did the 4.2.2 ota update and used OTA rootkeeper?
You need to flash system.img and reroot.
There is a thread already about the security not working after OTA

Yup i was rooted before flashing 4.2.2.
After flashing 4.2.2 I added my corporate e-mail, then removed it again.
Was stuck at the PIN lockscreen. Couldn't change it so i had to wipe data.
So I will flash system.img of 4.2.2 right?
Creating a duplicate thread won't improve your chances of getting the answer.

Hello,
I just noticed 1 hour ago I have 4.3 OTA update for my Nexus 10. However the update has been failed, due to vfxsound mod as far as I understand. I deactivated this app but I cant see OTA update again if I check the system updates manually it states that your system is current(4.2.2). What can I do to have this system update notification again?
My configuration:
rooted (supersu)
CWM recovery
Thank you.
Same here!

I can't update to 4.3 because of the same reason.
In my case, I installed both vfx and vhifi.
I deactivated and turned both of them into safe mode and tried to flash the update with stock recovery.
However, I still got "assert failed: apply_patch_check system/vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf"
There is a way to get the OTA update back, but I repeatedly failed, and ended up with error.
Someone please help us!
This happens because those files have been modified and are no longer the originals. Extract the files it is having issues with from the 4.2.2 factory image, replace them and try again, or just flash system.img from the factory 4.2.2 image and run the OTA again.
Edit: Also, to get the OTA notification again, go to Settings>Apps>All and force stop "Google Services Framework" then "Clear Data". Immediately return to the "About" screen and check for a system update. If any popups come up regarding allowing location services, choose "No" or otherwise don't allow it.
While the system update downloads, remove your google account, and re-add it to avoid any issues with sync, etc. on your google account. Keep in mind if you use 2-factor authentication via google, you'll need to add a new application password for your tablet.
I succesfully upgraded the system. As you said I replaced these file with the original ones. Now It works fine. The only problem is mx player doesnt work. I think they will update it soon.

Did you mean, "phone"? I can only speak for how this behaves on the Nexus 10. Also, if you enable location services (sometimes it tries when the google services framework starts back up) and you allow it, the OTA doesn't seem to show up (at least not for me, perhaps it's region-based?).
I had to redo mine several times while I replaced system files that had been modified, so I know it works if it's done the way I described. 60% of the time, it worked every time.
Also, try removing your custom recovery. I don't know how this affects things for the OTA but it's a factor I didn't have to contend with.
I'm pretty sure he meant tablet. I'm having the exact same problem on my N10.

I had the update notification for 4.3 today and went to install it. Everything appeared fine. However, when the phone rebooted and showed my usual screen unlock, I swiped it in and then the phone crashes back to the X - so android is loading and I can see my wallpaper and the time and everything as usual, but screen unlock reboots the phone. The only other problem that I've noticed is that the forward camera doesn't work to use face recognition to get the screen to unlock - the screen is always showing as black when normally my face is there.
Any tips for a fix? I'd rather not wipe all my data as I'm on a slowish bandwidth connection for the next couple of weeks.

Do you have an unlocked bootloader?

Yes - why? Can I download the data somehow using adb? What difference does this make?
Got the same problem on my Nexus 4, updated via normal Ota, unlocked bootloader and rooted.
Any solutions apart from a complete factory reset?

Well, you could make a nandroid backup. That way, you will have your data saved. After that, install a stock rooted 4.3 ROM and only restore data from recovery.
Or, Adb could work too. It would backup your data to your PC, and you could restore after you reinstalled the ROM.
I don't really know why, but many updates to 4.3 failed. That's why a data wipe is always recommended.
I always use Titanium Backup. It's very simple and easy to use.
I've used Nandroid before - not sure why I didn't think of it - thanks.

I had this exact same problam and was able to fix it without losing data, settings or installed apps.
My Solution:
Download factory 4.3 image and extract system.img. You need to untar the gzipped file and then unzip the included zip file to get system.img
Flash only the system.img and reboot. (fastboot flash system system.img)
When the phone is rebooted, root will be gone, but all installed user apps, data and settings should be preserved.
Background:
After the 4.3 OTA, my phone would reach the lock screen and receive notifications. Sometimes a call would make it through and I would be able to answer, but most of the time calls went straight to voicemail. Callmaster might have contributed to this behavior.
However, if I attempted to enter a pattern on the lock screen, the phone would immediately reboot.
I was rooted using SuperSU prior to the OTA. My Nexus was also affected by the issue were attempting to access the 4.2.2 Security Settings resulted in an error. I never got around to fixing that issue, but suspected that the 4.3 and 4.2.2 problem were related.
solution that worked for me: keep failing pattern until prompted to type in google account details to login, it then worked for me after that, no longer rebooting when unlocking
Hello and thanks for any useful responses
I tried to update my nexus 7 from stock rooted 4.2.2 with the OTA zip in CWR.
It failed and my tablet wasn't able to boot, next I flashed the 4.3 boot loader, boot and system image files using the toolkit and successfully installed 4.3.
This is where my problems begin, I no longer have a lock screen to choose between the two profiles that I had. Notifications are not being updated, my menu button doesn't work yet I still have all my apps and data which work.
Tried to downgrade to 4.2.2 by flashing the same images above using the 4.2.2 versions but then the tablet doesn't start (stuck on the X)
Reflashed 4.3 images and same odd behavior?
Any ideas on a fix or am I stuck doing a backup and factory restore?
Thanks again
Well you gotta like finding the solution to your own problem.
Not sure why this was happening but if someone has the same behavior go into your settings > users and create another mock account. Once this is done everything will work as before then delete the account.
I lost certain settings like my shortcuts but that's a quick fix.
Good luck
So I'm using androman's pre-rooted firmware for my G-361f, and have been able to install the fixed twrp. (Thanks guys!) I have oem-unlocked and adb-debugging selected in developer options, and have toyed with the seandroid-permissive boot.img from the androman thread. If I put my device into download-mode, it says frp-unlocked. However, if I register a gmail account to access google-play, then turn my device off, it will not boot because the 'custom binary frp-lock' is back again. (even though settings were unchanged)
No problem-flash stock rom with odin and start from the beginning, but to get the twrp recovery to work requires a factory reset, and so it's inconvenient to have to keep repeating the process.
My solution has been to delete my gmail account from the phone immediately every-time, as soon as I have whatever I need from google-play, but it seems like a cumbersome solution. I havn't found any other mention of this issue, so I'm wondering if I've missed something obvious? Is there a more permanent fix?
Thanks
