Hi all.
N7 32GB WiFi only running stock (but rooted) 4.1.2 and 2 user accounts. Have recovery installed (TWRP). Want to up to 4.2.2.
Question: is there any ROM I can flash over 4.1.2 without having to wipe in order to get to 4.2.2? I don't mind having to root again if needed, but would prefer a straight forward one shot solution if possible.

I swear you can flash over anything, but it can make stuff really unstable. So that's why people recommend you don't.
IE you can flash PA 2.99 over PA 2.54 but it'll break lots of stuff
Yes, you can "dirty flash" just about any rom as long as its an update of same rom. The problem is tho, any problems you have....everyone will tell you to do a fresh clean flash.
So dirty flash if you want....as long as its an update of the same rom you are on......but if you get issues, search a bit for answers, but may as well backup your apps and clean flash before you seek help. Cause that is what you will be advised to do. If problems remain, and you searched without finding an answer....then post your troubles.

Oh....if you are talking stock rom updating....then yes, you will probably be wiped. So just backup your apps first.

Always better to do a full wipe in my experience.

Just so you know, on custom roms, many many people dirty flash without any issues.....I'm one of them.
Stock and unrooted.....don't even know if its possible tho.

I dirty flash all the time and haven't really run into any problems. I'm too lazy to do a clean install but that's just me - it would be better if I did. Just backup everything to Google Drive or something and go for it. If you plan on not flashing again for a long time, clean is the way to go. If you flash new ROM's and ROM updates all the time (like me with Paranoid Android) then dirty flashing isn't too big of a deal in my opinion.
Just make sure you have all your proper backups first, that's the most important thing, in case an oopsie happens.
I usually flash like a maniac on my mobile phones, but this Nexus is shared with my wife and we have two profiles set up. Didn't want to go through the entire setup again.

Hello! It is possible to update from 4.2.2 to 4.3 if you are using CM10.1 for example, right? But why do so many people want to update through fastboot when there is a recovery flashable zip?

i didnt go through all the hastle.. i dirty flashed(flashed in recovery without wiping anything) aosp 4.3 over rasbean jelly rom 4.2.2, without a single issue. didnt have to wipe, didnt have to re set everything up. it took just about 3-4 minutes to go from 4.2.2 to 4.3. but, id make a nandroid backup just in case things do go wrong.

Yeah I indeed thought that was possible, but why do so many people struggle and really want to flash through fastboot?
But I'm glad to know you can just update in recovery, so I will do that with the next update as well.

too many people just dont know, they do what they are told. anyways, flashing the factory img in fastboot is probably the "cleanest" way to update. but as you can see, all these people that are doing it, and still reporting many issues. im completely issue free here, and havent lost any of my previous data
I havent tried anything on my n4 for awhile so what did I miss? im still on JWR66V with stock rom and stock kernel with a system update. Whats it for? Is it safe to update again? i have an unlocked bootloader so yeah lol
Yeah you are safe it is more of a security update it won't break anything. Are you into custom Roms and stuff like that?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4
truthfully I havent tried any roms so im not sure which ones are good. I usually like the ones that are simple but still have options to change stuff. Im more into kernels though, I tried franco and faux kernels on 4.3 but I dont like either.
Well I have tried all Roms literally. And all kernels and multiple times on different Roms. I can honestly recommend Purity ROM with semaphore 1.6 (I haven't tried 1.6.5) but its like you asked for simple but still has options. It has fixed any bugs stock had and added many enhancements. I love it over any other ROM out there. But as many other people say its all preference. that is my preference.
Edit: If you need any help at all. Let me know and I will gladly do so!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4
actually looking at purity rom it looks pretty sweet. Do i just flash it in recovery? Im lost when it comes to roms and it doesnt help that I havent been here awhile. -_-
First a couple things.
1. Make sure you have twrp 2.6.3.0
2. Download ROM Gapps photosphere add on and Supersu 1.55 from the thread.
3. Download the kernel.
4. Put zips on your phone.
Flash in this order. (Worked for me)
ROM
Gapps
Photosphere
Kernel
Suoersu.
I say twrp because cwm gave me nothing but issues

so I did the OTA update and lost root. I download wugfresh toolkit to gain root again but when I check busybox I get an error and when I check SuperSU I get no SU binary installed and superSU cannot install it.

You need to flash supersu in recovery or you can just use twrp and flash ROM like I said in the above post the update you are tying to get is really nothing major and will have no effect on custom Roms

Yes you need to do a full wipe. Sorry assumed you knew. Before you flash anything like I said in the other post. Go to the wipe menu first select advanced wipe then system, data, cache, and dalvik cache

Don't reboot after you wipe your phone just go back to main menu. Photosphere is part of the camera that comes with the stock ROM its not needed. And doesn't come with gapps.

Does anyone know of such a ROM that I can have root, download, deodex, and debloat (but no mods) for the SGH-I337? I'd like to run a pure stock rooted ROM without bloat. I do not want the modded (black) apps with the messaging and etc. Just the full on debloated stock experience with root privileges. No, I do not want a competition with whatever ROM is best as I do not intend to start an argument about it. So, in that case, does anyone have suggestions or the link to another XDA thread? Also, please make sure that it's latest stock for AT&T. Thanks everyone!

I've been using MDOB for a month or so and it is great. Great battery life, smooth, debloated stock, excellent support -- a great ROM. -- Bud
Let me tell ya I have owned hd2, gs2, gs3, gs4, nexus s , nexus 4,atrix hd,transformer 300tf, galaxy tab 2 7.0 galaxy tab 2 10.1, nexus 7, note 2 ,note 10.1, and note 8.0.
I always go for stock based ROMs for stability. For I instal tons of apps that I get issues one after another on custom. I try ROMs after another update after another. This was like a routine which could be enjoyable but annoying sometimes for ur times limited.
With I337, I tried one ROM and I felt no need or urge to flash or even try another. I just could not find flaws or problem with this one.
Which ROM is this?
MDOB!
Bloat free based on stock and has all features I need. Give it a try. Make sure u follow devs guide on installation though for best possible experience!

Thank you so much BTW, should've thanked you sooner. Flashed MDOB and have been running it for about four days now. Very stable, has those white stock apps, and is absolutely amazing while also running stock kernel. Thanks so much!

I am so glad it has been working great for ya. I really wish other android devices that I use also had ROMs like MDOB.
Those add-ons listed on devs post for MDOB also work great as well for they are usually stock/hidden features. For example, torch light is from hidden stock menu and addon will unlock and enable it for you. Addon like in call recording is not an external third party app but it is like unlocking call recording menu within the stock dial/call pad which comes in very handy and convenient. If you have questions then the dev will try to help you promptly. I had minor issues but it was because I did not know how to use the features on ROM correctly. Of coarse the dev tried to help me find solutions along the way. He' s just a great guy and I feel lucky to have him here on gs4 community.

Was about to post same question!
Hi there,
Thanks for this thread and the answers. I was searching for exactly this topic.
I would like to try the MDOB ROM, as it sounds like what I am looking for.
The current MDOB ROM is based on the *MF3 firmware. Is this an issue? I am reading about the AT&T bootloader lock and loki fix that was added in to MF3, plus other custom ROMs that list either a broken sound or broken Wi-Fi as a known issue with MF3.
Are these issues fixed in this ROM (and how?) I don't want to loose TWRP and/or WiFi.
Thanks for any clarification,
Gemini420
MDOB is based on the lastest stock MF3 however it would not give u problems that you would face from updating to notorious MF3 stock.
If I am not mistaken you are supposed to have UCUAMDL stock rooted with custom recovery twrp (preferably i337 version listed on the MDOB page) prior to flashing MDOB.
Check out installation or flashing instruction on the MDOB for more info. The dev points to several things you should watch out for. I just followed the guide and my phone has been running pefectly ever since. Well I wish u Good luck.
Edit: Though I never had any issues with custom recovery and wifi, you might wanna ask there and see if such issues exist on MDOB.

If you are rooted, use Titanium Backup to backup the app and data. If you are not rooted, you are probably out of luck.

Well when you unlock, it will wipe your device clean. So you'll lose it either way and yeah after that you can flash back 4.3 factory images.
Guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312
or you can use toolkits (but the guide is better for you to learn).

I installed Pure Nexus on my Nexus 6P the other day. I was using the phone as stock for the past couple of months. I'm an old user of CM mind you.
Since the last 2 days, Ive had nothing but problems with the ROM. I've got several apps that keep crashing,, namely Minimalistic Text, Camera and others. This never happened at all on stock. Even when I use Airdroid to scan the QR code, it uses the wrong camera.
Unfortunately, I've decided to flush Pure Nexus and just in the middle of flashing CM 13 and will try it in a few minutes.
I think I've given enough time for Pure Nexus, but I can't blame the apps that I'm using, as I've used them before on various ROMs on my old Nexus 4 without incident as well as on my Nexus 7.
I've tried to post in another forum thread but since I'm unable to as I haven't posted many times, the forum has driven me here instead.

Hey Barry,
After you flashed Pure Nexus ROM, did you delete the cache? I would try it again, since things can go wrong and others are on Pure Nexus without issue.

the apps you are having issues with, did you restore those from a backup (i.e. Titanium Backup)? If so i'd clear the app data/cache and force close them. Typically that helps.
I've lost everything since I've put in a different ROM, but have contacted the developers of the apps of my problem. After mant apps crashing, I decided that it was futile to contact the developers as I realized it was due to the ROM and not the apps I was using, as I've used them before without problems

If I were you, I would try again. Download the ROM and verify that is the correct checksum. Like I said, others here have Pure Nexus without issue.
did a hashcheck [md5] of all files as I usually do. Now I'm even having problems flashing new ROMs since in the last hour or so. I've made a backup of Pure Nexus ROM, so I know I'm able to use it, but might have to do other things here in the next couple of days to get rid of it

BTW I've installed CM 13 and minimalistic text works flawlessly on it, no hiccups no crashes, weird!!
When stuff like that happens to me and I feel I've tried everything I can think of, I usually make it easier on myself to run the script in Google's factory image and start new. Flash TWRP with ADB tools, format, reboot TWRP, transfer flashables, and start with that ROM from scratch with GApps. Most variables of messing up would have been avoided and chances of success should be high. Anyone else agree with that?

LOL! I've done that a few times reverting to stock and going from there. I'v had to do that in the past to get out of trouble. But seeing how I've done this countless of times over the past few years and the last phone was also a Nexus [albeit quite a change from Lollypop to Marshmallow], the rules are the same for flashing. One thing I was concerned with initially was that the vendor.img file for Pure Nexus was MMB29P but I'm on MMB29T. I don't know if that's an issue. I'm using 6.0.1 Android.
I may try it again in a few days mind you and re-flash. Will def post something if it's a positive change!!
