4.2.2 Update / TWRP problem

Hello. I just received my OTA notification, but when I clicked it, it rebooted and landed my on the TWRP recovery screen. Not knowing what to do, I just told it to reboot to the system.
Once rebooted, I was still on 4.2.1, and there was no update.
Any ideas why it booted to TWRP?

The OTA update requires stock recovery in order to be flashed. I recommend you just flash the update manually using fastboot, and you won't lose data.

Maybe before you even answer, I'm sure I'll find a link on here to show me how?
One issue I have though, is that when I manually updated to 4.2.1 on my Nexus 7, I still got an OTA update a few days later, that actually ran.
I don't ever plan on flashing roms to any of my devices. Do I need to keep a custom recovery on my Nexus 4 or 7? If not, how to I revert back to the stock recovery?

If you saved the offical stock 4.2.1 images, to revert back to stock recovery, just use the 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.**************.img' command. If you haven't, you might have to flash the whole 4.2.2 rom which you can find on the google dev website. After this, if you only want to root then you don't need to flash a custom recovery, just use the 'boot' command instead of the 'flash' one.

I flashed the OTA sideload file through TWRP and it installed succesfully.

How did you do that? Did you sideload wrinkle's file from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145848?
I should let you know, that while I'm not afraid to install via the custom recovery, it doesn't mean I've done it via commands. I've always used toolkits, or one click methods of rooting and installing custom recoveries.

Well, this is crazy (weird?). I tried to flash it via TWRP by downloading the zip file in the thread referenced above, and it failed. By flashing, I mean, I chose 'Install' and pointed to the zip after moving it to my phone. After failing, I wiped the Dalvik cache and rebooted, and it's telling me 'Android is upgrading'. If it means it updated, so be it. But can anyone explain? Feeling a little confused here.
Edit: Ok, so it said it was upgrading, but it's still 4.2.1.

It 'upgrades' when you wipe the cache. It just means it's rebuilding the cache. Are you running an unmodified stock rom? Custom kernel?

Yes, stock rom, rooted and unlocked. I did install Beats today. Could this be the problem? If so, I found a revert zip that I'm assuming is supposed to revert me back to stock audio codecs.

I don't think added files matter, but I'm guessing the Beats mod has overwritten something in system, so flash the revert zip, then try again.

Flashing the revert zip failed. I'm starting to think that flashing anything with TWRP will fail.
How about this. I made a backup of all system data + apps with Titanium earlier today. Could I just reset my phone back to factory defaults, restore my apps + some system data, then re-root (*without a custom recovery*) and wait for the update again? Or will it come again?
Also, I've used Wugfresh's Nexus Toolkit. I don't remember checking the custom recovery button, but ended up with TWRP anyway. What's the easiest way to root without installing a custom recovery?

You could try that, and the update will come straiht away. You can root without flashing a custom recovery, just use the 'boot recovery' instead of 'flash recovery'

Ok, I'm surely not afraid to use the command prompt. Any tutorials you can point me to? I probably already have all of the drivers I need, as the toolkit had to download install them.

The same thing happened to me. I was rooted running stock ROM with TWRP recovery (used wugfresh toolkit). The problem was I forgot I was using a modified kernel (for color correction) by molesarecoming. I flashed the stock kernel back, downloaded and flashed the OTA file from the help desk thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145848&highlight=beats), and it worked. Oh, and I flashed the Superuser file immediately after the OTA did it's thing (while still in TWRP) to regain root. I didn't really like how after the initial failed install of the OTA, it took my into TWRP with no error message showing or anything.
I don't think TWRP is your problem -- I think beats is your problem. It may have modified something. Try searching the above-linked thread for answers. Honestly, there's no rush to get 4.2.2, so take your time finding the answer. It's better than wiping the phone just to install a small android update and having to redo everything on your phone again.

Ok, it must have been the Beats audio drivers. I restored a Nandroid backup from right before installing the beats audio drivers, then flashed the zip and it worked. Now running 4.2.2.
I would like to know, however, how to use fastboot via commands, so that I can learn how to flash TWRP, CWM, Stock recovery, etc.

I need some help here - I have nexus 7 with 3G and Google (takju) with 4.2.1 installed.
I had it 'rooted" and installed TWRP .
AT the time I followed instructions to chand extension of some file to .bak - to prevent 'unrooting"
I do not remember which file I unfortunately changed.
Now I cannot install the 4.2.2 upgrade - the OTA fails because it boots into TWRP and after that I rrid several selections from TWRP screen (flash, reboot, etc) - but all attempts failed.
I have the upgrade files (bot .tar and .zip) on /sdcard directory but have no idea how to update to 4.2.2.
Tried manual flashing using adb command - all fails.
I do not have beats drivers installed
Can someone tell me how to uninstall TWRP? If the CWM recovery works with this upgrade, I would like to change from TWRP to CWM.
Or any other suggestion wold be appreciated.
I am really struggling with Android operating system the way it configured on Nexus 7 by Google - any simplest is a major pain!
Hope I can get out of this and operate the device instead of continuously meddling with operating system.
Thanks in advance

[Q] I9505 do not boot

I have a big problem with my new I9505.
Today I flashed new CWM 6.0.3.6 and 4.3 GE Jamal Rom. After I flashed some mods for testing.
Then I wanted to install a clean rom, I formated in CWM every point (system, data, cache, sdcard, dalvik and dont know what else).
After I flashed again 4.3, now it do not boot. Stuck at Google boot animation.
I thought it will be fixed if I flash the stock rom via Odin (only PDA with I9505XXUBMGA_I9505OXABMGA_I9505XXUBMGA_HOME.tar.md5).
But now I stuck at Samsung Boot animation.
It is possible to boot into Recovery and Download mode.
Whats happening?
I hope somebody can help me.
Big thanks.

Try to get into recovery and wipe both caches and reboot. If that doesn`t work also do a data factory reset. Don`t you have a nandroid backup to fall on back too?

My nand backup is corrupt :/

Just reflash the rom again with a full wipe and after the flash wipe both caches and reboot.

Okay I figure out my nand backup is not corrupt..
If I select backup in cwm it restore system but it cant mount data.
I think the mistake is here.. /data do not exist?

I would return to stock to get the phone running again. so:
1. Go to recovery and wipe the caches and do a data factory reset and format system.
2. Pull the battery and go into downloadmode
3. Flash a stock rom with Odin 3.04
4. Reboot, setup the phone and reroot.

I had exactly the same issue,except whilst i was reflashing my nandroid the phone shut down, formatted everything as one normally would using philz recovery, tried again and it failed.
Now i cannot even gain access to recovery it stays on "loading recovery" only option i suppose is to reflash stock via odin.

I've also experienced this on my gpe and it seems going back to stock is the best solution for doing the factory reset. I've tried doing the factory reset with both team win recovery and cwm.

[Q] Recovery not Booting

Hey, I seem to have gotten myself into a pickle. Here's what happened: I wanted to do an update to Cyanogenmod 10.2, so I downloaded the ROM and gapps. I wiped dalvik, cache, and system and flashed the ROM. When I tried to flash the gapps Clockwork Mod said it was corrupt. No problem, turned the phone off, pulled micro usb card and put the gapps on that. The only problem is now I can't boot into recovery at all, with the Power+down option and ROM Manager crashes when I try to open it. So the problem is that I can't boot into recovery and I can't reinstall ROM Manager because I don't have gapps. Titanium Backup is also having problems and can't get root access. Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem is or how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

See if you can find an odin flashable recovery. There's probably one in the development forum. Flash that.

Hello, yes, I wipe cache and dalvik, then i rebooted back into recovery, hit mount button, checked box to mount, installed rom and rebooted and it goes to a failed bootloader. If I didnt have RSD i guess i would be bricked. I just dont want to lose this phone.
Thanks.

Are you making a slot and flashing there, or trying to flash over the stock slot? You won't be able to flash over stock, and this might be why it's failing. I also noticed that Avi crossed out the Safe Strap instructions in his thread, so maybe this won't actually work for SS.

If your bootloader is unlocked, you can flash over the stock slot. If you're using SS on a locked bootloader, you can only restore over the stock slot. It's not about being temperamental, it's about having a locked BL.

Installing a Kernel - Revert back to stock?

Hey XDA,
I'm tempted to install a kernel on my Nexus 4. This is the first time doing a Kernel (already have the nexus 5 rom) but what I was wondering is:
How will I get the stock kernel (3.1.0 if im right?) back on the phone when I want to undo things?
Is it as simple as doing a stock recovery or something else. From what I think recovery is only for the OS and not kernel?

You just dirty flash your current rom. (flash it, then wipe cache and dalvik)

its pointless wiping dalvik and cache, as they get wiped when you flash the rom. also, if just flashing a kernel, wiping dalvik and cache have nothing to do with it, so no need to wipe.

Yes. Go into recovery (clockworkmod), and simply flash the rom. Like simms22 said, wiping cache and dalvik isnt necessary, but it wont hurt anyone
Franco packages his kernel as a boot.img (which is installed using fastboot) and as a zip (which is flashable via recovery). Pick the one that you want and install it using the appropriate method.

So just to make sure I understand. When I go into clockwork and whip the phone etc etc it will also whip the custom ROM AND custom Kernel.
So when it boots back into stock android again it also has the original kernel that the nexus 4 was running on?

How do I get the stock kernel again? Do I need to reinstall the Nexus 5 port or?

thats why we say to dirty flash. if you flash without wiping anything, your apps and data remain. if you wipe data before flashing, you lose your apps and data.

I see.
Alright I have had a blast with the kernels and roms but now is my biggest hurtle. How do I remove clockwork and revert back to stock? If you mind explain in detail.
One where you also remove clockwork and one where clockwork just stays on the phone but have stock again.
I can't get it to work :/ get errors etc
