4.2.2 and CWM issue

When the phone reboot to install 4.2.2 it shows CWM interface and a list a series of "no" then a "install zip file anyway" and when i select that i get another error that says the zip file update is incorrect. I've nexus root toolkit installed and just added OTA RootKeeper to try to preserve root access.
How can i get 4.2.2 installed properly?
thx!

That's because you have a custom recovery, you need to have stock recovery in order to update 4.2.2 from Google OR Flash a custom rom with 4.2.2 and be happy

Thanks a bunch for the clarification! So i guess there is no "easy" way to temporally disable the custom recovery then? What would an example of a fine tuned custom rom with 4.2.2?

I used CWM to flash to 4.2.2 however CWM gave me a message telling me that I would loose root with the update. Then it asked me to click to fix and I was able to flash 4.2.2 and not loose root

Any chance you could share the steps you took to do the 4.2.2 upgrade through CWM?
Thx!

Paranoid Android has 4.2.2

Thanks for the heads up! Paranoid Android seems really neat, it is on my to-try list now.

[Q] CM 10 for RAZR M stuck in bootloop

Hey guys,
I am new to flashing roms and xda-developers. I saw the post on CM 10 for the RAZR M. But whenever I try to flash it, the CM logo comes up and just keeps spinning without stopping. Is there something I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Abhi

Details? Are you using safestrap or are you unlocked and using a custom recovery like twrp or cwm?

I am using safestrap 3.05.19. It is a locked bootloader device. The cm version is the latest one posted in the original thread, and gapps for cm 10.

you have to use matglorf's motorola Razr utility 1.20 to unlock, flash and offcourse root with it. I did. :good:

Yep... That's your problem. To run the latest CM (anything AOSP for that matter...) You MUST BE unlocked. Also, wipe data and cache after flashing...

Thanks for the fast reply..
When I wipe am I right in thinking that my photos etc on the sdcard part of the nexus 4's memory will be safe? I have backed them up but just wanted to check
Thanks

When you select factory reset in a custom recovery it will not erase the SD card partition

Can't flash new rom after flashing 4.4 rom.

I flashed a Kit Kat rom, and before I was having problems with recovery. Now I'm having problems flashing a new ROM. Every time I try to flash a different rom, it says it flashes but it just goes back to the 4.4 rom I flashed first. I can restore a backup just fine, but even from the backup it does the same thing.

My MAC address keeps changing after reboot, and wifi is screwy no matter what I do. Full Wipe, factory reset, Factory image restore. Its seems the 4.4 roms change things that cant be undone. I now have to have my phone replaced.

Gah. I'd rather not have to have my phone replaced. I feel as if its just 4.4 ROMs though.

Try reflasing your recovery. If that doesn't work, then flash the 4.3 factory images.

I'm on the latest CWM touch, I believe 6.0.4.3. I haven't actually tried going from the 4.4 rom to a 4.3, but I know I can't go from 4.4 to a different 4.4 rom, or from 4.3 rom to a different 4.4 rom, it just goes to the first one I flashed.

Haven't there been people having issues flashing 4.4 with TWRP? Or has Team Win updated it since then?

GooManager is telling me that there is no recovery available for my device. That's odd.

If all else fails, download the stock 4.3 image and fastboot flash it, then try whatever other ROM you wanted.

Try doing what I suggested if you're still having the revert to original 4.4 issue.

The only other thing you might try now is flashing any 4.3 or 4.2.2 ROM, reboot, and see if it's now on that one or still on 4.4...
Or is that what you already did with PAC?
You can also manually format /system then /data from TWRP or CWM then manually flash your new ROM.

That's what I did. I went from 4.4 to PAC, and it booted into PAC. Same with CM 10.2. It seems to just be happening with 4.4 roms.

just manual format /system /data and /boot is the only thing I can think of besides what I've already mentioned.

I just wiped /system and /data, and now the 4.4 PA fails to flash, but CM 10.2 flashed. I'm gonna switch to CWM to see if it'll flash there.
UPDATE: CWM would NOT let me go back to the previous option when asking me to reflash recovery when booting, and it didn't flash PA, so now I'm stuck on the first 4.4 build with no GApps until 9 or 10 tonight. First thing I'm doing when I get home is flashing the factory image.

AOSP on new bootloader

Is it now possible to flash AOSP on a stock kit kat bootloader? Because before I heard that AOSP can only be flash on old stock boot loader which is Android 4.3.

I believe YES. I've installed AOSB on kitkat bootloader with no problems at all.
Check the other roms discussion threads, you'll find out the answer if you search inside the thread.

Help please. I tried to install AOSB with Cwm with full wipe. I was on X-Note 17. After I flash it soft bricked my device. Manage to save it by flashing a stock firmware through Odin. Any idea?

It was correct. Hlte or N9005 should be correct.
