Sorry for the noob questions but I tried to update my Nexus 4 currently rooted with 4.2.2 and Franco Kernel and I'm getting the error message "Installation Aborted". Do I need to unroot my phone in order to update to the 4.3 OTA?
Everything needs to be stock for the ota update.

Is is possible to go back to stock without losing all my data such as photos, messages, apps etc...?
What else did you change besides rooting it and installing Franco kernel?

Those were the only 2 modifications that I made. Would it possible to sideload 4.3 without having to return back to stock?

To install the ota, you can be rooted, but you have to root again. You have to be on the stock kernel and on stock recovery (for both how-tos can be found in the forums). Hopefully you didn't modification anything on the system ui or deinstalled some of the system apps, if you did you have to reflash a stock image, this can also be done without losing your data(how-to can be found in the forum), but In this case it would be easier to flash a 4.3 directly.
I'm sure you will manage your way. Good luck and happy reading :thumbup:
Franco kernel changes a lot of stuff, so u might get a bootloop. Just find the 4.2.2 stock kernel and flash of, then try to sideload the ota update.

That's not stock, you only have to read the title: 4.3 stock (deodexed, rooted, busybox)
You have it right there, under "Scenario 1" two paragraphs later: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...-to-android-4-3-jwr66v-and-root-it-right-now/

That link is stock, only it is already rooted. The deodex version is not like stock, but there is a link for an odexed version also. If one doesn't want busybox, all one has to do is uninstall it, but for root, probably gonna need it at some point.

Hey guys quick question my n4 is rooted and running cm10.1.3. I never bothered to upgrade to 4.3, so my radio, kernel and bootloader are stock 4.2.2. Is it better to get the ota update and be up on things or flash stock kernel, boot loader and radio for 4.4 when ever there available? Or maybe factory image?

Just flash the stock images for kit Kat when they are available, right now back up all your data

my friend as this will pop up all over the forum the best thing to do is just wait for a rooted version to show up. I did not upgrade my bootloader and I have not had any issues with 4.3 which mind you is a great running OS you should try it.
I dont understand having root then unrooting to flash stock which you obviously dont like since you run cm and then wait to root it all over again to back an upgraded rooted version of cm...

Question on the way for the custom recovery+kernel guys on 4.3 what is the best to upgrade besides wiping your entire phone and flashing the stock images entirely?.
I think i know 2 ways just not sure they are recommended, 1st is flashing stock kernel + returning recovery to stock (should get OTA)
2nd is flashing only the system.img and the bootloader me thinks.
Feel free to verify this.
:good:

You make a lot of sense ,its more of curiosity and so I won't brick my nexus. So I can get away with not upgrading my bootloader for 4.4?
What about kernel, do I need to update that for 4.4 or is that judgement call?

you are asking questions that trial and error are going to figure out for us. Kernels of course if you are on a 4.4 rom you would use a 4.4 kernel. Upgrading your bootloader may or may not be needed but we wont know until kitkat starts popping. everyone said you needed to upgrade bootloader for 4.3 but I have never had any issue at all.... Just wait it out and read read read

Not to sure but as long as you're on stock ROM and stock kernel you should be fine although I don't know if custom recovery keeps you from getting update.

Absolutely bro
You do have to be on stock recovery, stock bootloader for the update to go thru properly otherwise it'll fail.

If you are still on stock rom and you just have custom kernel+recovery, U could do the following for not using any current apps or files.
- Wait till your favorite Toolkit (e.g Wug) get updated for 4.4 and then download the official factory rom.
- Extract it and keep all separate zips, like radio, bootloader,system etc.
- Unroot and flash stock kernel
- Flash all previous zips, EXCEPT user.img which will delete everything
- Reroot and U r ready to flash again custom kernel
Maybe a noob question but my n4 is rooted. Will this cause any problems withe the update?

The original stock kernel of 4.3 is on the bootloader.img on the google source code aye?
Thanks, now we just need to wait for the official 4.4 on google's developers.

Here a direct link for stock kernel 0.84 from JWR66V factory image

Hello,
My phone has already had the radio upgraded to latest so it can run 4.3. I am rooted, have TWRP 2.6.3.0, will I be ok to flash the PA 4.4 and gapps? I keep posts about folks losing their sdcard data and their custom recovery being removed (not sure how!).
Thanks.

I'm sure that radio doesn't affect your ability to flash certain ROMs so you shouldn't have a problem flashing 4.4. As far as losing SD data not sure how that's happening.

Just wanted to know if it was safe to freeze the stock messaging app with Titanium Backup. I Was planning on using GO SMS Pro to handle text/MMS.
HAZA12D_HYPERDRIVE_NOTE3
Yes it is safe. I've done the same.
Running Beans build 2.
Same here.
Froze Stock and only using Handcent.

U guys running stock rooted or a custom ROM? What ROM/build if you are? Thanks!

Hey guys I would like to root but I can't get my work email if I do. I know there used to be work arounds for Good, but I think many of them have been patched and no longer work. Are any of you rooted and running Good?

Hi Celsian, the email address & PIN are part of the initial setup process. It will check for root after this stage, so unfortunately this doesn't help. Really appreciate the reply and the effort though! [emoji4]

Systemless root is better than traditional Root in many ways. Not having to modify system partition and flashing SuperSU on the kernel is awesome. It's an evolved version of the traditional way
Yes- I have systemless root.

Working old version of GFE with root
I hate Good for Enterprise. It's awful.
But I have to use it.
I'm rooted. Now on a 6P, formerly on a nexus 5. Of you download an old version of GFR, 2.7.1 it works with root and custom ROMs and Xposed.
Just don't ever, ever let it update.
It's just as crappy as e current version and a battery killer, but it works.

Thanks for the reply. How did you get access to the older version?

I don't recall exactly where I found it, but it's out there
Look for 2.7.1 apk xposed and it should turn up in a Google search. I'll check to see if I can locate the download.
I found a workaround. I still have my Nexus 5, which I flashed back to stock. I installed Good on it and then just tether it to my now rooted 6p
