Hi, any help resolving this would be really appreciated. I have updated my Nexus 4 to Android 4.3 by installing through CWM. The upgrade worked fine however I cannot flash the SuperSU zip afterwards. I am using the experimental version released specifically for 4.3 however I just get the message: unable to open 'file', installation aborted (bad). I have tried to redownload in case it was a corrupt zip but I just get the same result. I have also tried reflashing 4.3 but this doesn't make a difference either.The old SuperSU is still installed but states that it has no binaries if I try to open it.
Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere but I have been searching all evening for a solution.

Did you try flashing the latest supersu? I've flashed this one https://www.dropbox.com/s/p97y9pn4tie9iyi/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.43.zip pressed "go back" when recovery asked to fix recovery or something like that and it works just fine
Ah, The version I have is 1.41 not 1.43, although I guess I downloaded from an older post in the blog. Thank you, hopefully that will work.

Unfortunately this still hasn't worked, I have tried v1.43 of SuperSU, still failes. I have also changed my recovery from CWM to TWRP but this also fails to flash SuperSU v1.43 with the same error. Any other suggestions?
I think I have resolved this now, I had to sideload the SuperSU file on instead, so far so good.
Thanks.

I have the same issue. I also notice root explorer can't look inside zip files. It seems like whatever custom recoveries and other apps use to extract zip files is busted/removed after our 4.3 update. Is this a busybox issue? Side loading might use extraction tools on the computer instead?
I resolved this too. It turned out the super SU zip file I had grabbed for 1.43 wasn't the normal CWM/TWRP recovery package. When I looked at the zip file on my computer I noticed it contained another compressed file. I waited a few days root-less and then noticed that super SU 1.51 had been released. I used this file and it worked like it should have the first time. This package looks like the normal recovery flashable file, with the manifest and directory structure it should have. So either I grabbed the wrong file or there was a moment in time when the chainfire's site was dishing out bad files.
Glad it's working now, root is restored.

I've been spending a few hours trying to fix this - when upgrading from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 either OTA or via sideloading through ADB I get an error saying "assert(apply_patch_check("/system/app/PlusOne.apk" has failed and I am unable to complete upgrade.
I tried downloading 4 different plusone.apk's and none have rectified this problem. I also tried removing the check for plusone.apk from the updater script and re-zipping the files to no avail.
Can anyone help? Either with a correct PlusOne.apk I can put in system/app or by explaining what I can do to update without resettingback to factory first?
I am on 4.1.1, JRO03D. I converted PlusOne into a user app after I got the nexus using TB and have since converted it back to a system app and placed various PlusOne.apk's in the system/app folder.
I APPRECIATE ANY HELP!!!

not sure if I will be a big help, but try to download the 4.1.2 OTA upgrade, and put in N7, then hoping you have CWM if not, just install Clockwork recovery if you have not done so, then boot in clockwork recovery, once you are clockwork recovery, make sure "signature check" is disabled, and install from zip option, point where you put 4.1.2 OTA upgrade file, and then reboot.
I am thinking that error you get most likely signature check since you converted to user app and then converted back to system app.
If you have removed any system apps the upgrade will fail.

I am trying to do it through CWM now... if I try the second option, downloading and flashing from the file will I lose all my data and apps, correct? I am trying to avoid having to restore everything.
Thank you both for your help!

THIS IS NOT THE VERSION POSTED ON THE FIRST POST!
i am running stock but rooted and unlocked. when i did the unlock or root it installed a basic version on cwm, i think a custom one someone had created for the nexus 7.
i cannot get this sorted. first i managed to get the ota by clearing the google framework data a few times until it offered but it the failed to install saying something about 'failed to verify whole-file signature'
due to this i downloaded the zip i found on, i think, androidpolice and booted to recovery. that failure said something like 'assert failed:apply-patch-check gmail.apk'
i then found on this thread -

The OP from that thread took down the link, the only one in his post is now the same zip you already had.
This is the file with checks disabled.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/isqpvb0w26kqjdx/4.1.2edited.zip
Use with caution tho, only flash this is stock rom and kernel.
great, that sorted it so thanks very much.
i presume you have done the update, apart from the rotation are you finding much difference?
Little to none
Most changes in this one were under the hood, as they say.
I'm having problems installing any of the franco kernel through twrp 2.6 the latest twrp anyways when I install the zip file it fails. I'm running 9/4 pac also though i don't think that would have anything to do with it failing i tried the 182 and 178 i believe also the jj ones to any help thanks. Oh also i saw the iso files i believe but thought they had to be zipped to install through recovery so maybe that way would work however you install them with the iso thanks again

sorry not iso. I didn't download the img file and meant img file. I only downloaded the zip file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2002782 I first thought it was my recovery was out of date so updated twrp which got me nothing and took forever because goomanager didn't do it so had to use nexus root tool kitv1.7.2 finally got that updated and still the zip file fails also tried the lte zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358931 to have lte when and if it ever rolls out in my area but that ones not important plus i think pac's rom has it automatically in it because when i dialed *#*#4636#*#* lte is an option.
Anyways the problems with the zip file when i install it or try to that is it fails with 182 the jj file to and the 178 and jj file don't know what i'm doing wrong and it my mistake again img not iso.

you cant flash img files via recovery.. you either flash it via fastboot or through apps that flash it via fasrboot/terminal for you.

I have the same issue with my nexus 4. Installed jelly bam, then had to update tarp to 2.6, yet it still won't flash any version of Franco kernel. Yes they are zip files and from the Dev directly. It gives me zip verification failed so I toggled verify zip signature and it said success. I wipe cache again and reboot. Now I am stuck with with the white Google logo. So I just reinstall jelly bam to get back to a working kernel. I have yet to flash cm to see if a different recovery works, or if it's a problem with the kernel or even jelly bam
SOLVED
I changed the recovery from twrp to cwm and then flashed it. cwm said it worked, but when i wiped cache and rebooted, im still stuck on the white google logo. Looking at your kernel, im assuming you too have jelly bam installed.
It seems you have to manually install it. Download the img file you want off here (use jss versions if you are on jellybam 10.2+)
go to fastboot mode
fastboot flash boot kernel_name.img
this seems to have worked for me. why it has to be this way; i have no idea.
why do you wipe cache? try without wiping!
Gesendet von meinem Nexus 4 mit Tapatalk 4
Its just a habit. Can that actually be the issue? Also I did not check, but maybe the reason it said "success" was because file signature verification was off. Twrp said it worked when I turned it off, so that could be why cwm said successful too

Hello mates,
this morning my nexus 7-wifi (unlocked bot not rooted. w/ CWM) said me there is a system update for new android os. Kitkat.
Then i install the update without getting any CWM backup.
Zip file started to be installed in CWM and it processed all install. steps successfully.
However when the progress bar reach to %100, it said something like "...status 7.... installation aborted" (do not remember clearly).
And after reboot i come across a new boot animation (kitkat's new animation i think) which does not end up to a system start or an error message.
Now,
what should i do to complete installation of kitkat?
Thanks in advance.

I did the same exact thing that you did and experienced the same error. Luckily, I came across a stickied thread, ""Flashing a factory image with fastboot / return to stock" and followed the instructions EXACTLY and.. it worked! It took me back to 4.3 which was great because at lease tablet was working again! (I had tried everything else I could think of!) What was funny was that within 2 minutes of the tablet up and running again I received the OTA push for 4.4!
I would strongly suggest following the instructions posted in the thread I mentioned above as they worked perfectly.

Hello buddy,
thank you for the feedback. But i do not want to lose my data in the tablet. So, first i will try to fix this without wiping data.
Currently i install adb files to my pc.
And i managed to find the zip file i need to upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4 without losing any data.
If i can flash this zip file via adb i will be ok. but i cannot flash it via adb, because of the recovery i am using (i think ). With CWM i could not do that. after adb sideload **********.zip command, it says "error: device not found"
now i am looking for a solution to this error.
But if i could have had my tablet open in stock recovery, it might already be solved.
PROBLEM SOLVED.
HERE IS THE STEPS TAKEN:
DOWNLOAD OTA FILE FROM 4.3 TO 4.4 (NOT FACTORY IMAGE).
DOWNLOAD LATEST SDK, RUN SETUP.
PUT THE OTA FILE IN sdk\platform-tools DIRECTORY.
SIDELOADING THE OTAFILE:

You will lose root and CWM after the reboot but those took about 3 minutes to get back .. easy peasy. I'm now at 5.0.1 on my shield with root and CWM.

So here's what I did:
Download the full OTA then reboot to CWM (assuming your rooted + recovery) and unmount system partition ( I believe all others were unmounted) and then delete system, data, cache partitions respectively. Then flash the OTA zip followed by latest supersu.
Just tested this method and I have a rooted 5.01 32GB LTE US model working flawlessly. Even managed to take out the top spot in Hwbot Prime for the Shield (woops to newb for links I see lol)

So, did it work for you? I've tried the file in both this link and the official update and get the same thing with both. I'm still on KK and I can't install either the 5.0 or the 5.01 updates. I get the same "this is an ardbeg" error with any update I try to flash, and I'm flashing the full files, not the incremental updates. In fact, I have two tablets (both lte) and I updated the first one to 5.0 a week ago, no problem, but the new one I just bought, I can't even though I'm using the same files (cwm and update). I'm stumped.
Bah. nm. I went back and reinstalled the recovery from here again, http://forum.xda-developers.com/shi.../recovery-cwm-recovery-nvidia-shield-t2848064. Flashed 5.01 just fine. Not sure where I got the other recovery.

Hi dgjenkins, sorry answer so late. So, answering you first, not, it did not work for me. I actually did give up, the bad was that I tried so many ways to do it that I freezed the tablet and did not start again. Well, looking out there, I found this amazing video who saved my tablet of bust it again the wall and start from the original firmware.

I did intal the Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Copy the image files in to the Minimal ADB and Fasboot directory c:\Programs Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Ope Minimal ADB and Fastboot
-Type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
-Type: fastboot flash boot boot.img
-Type: fastboot flash system system.img
-Type: fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
-Type: fastboot flash staging blob
-Type: fastboot flash dtb tegra124-tn8-p1761-1270-a04-e-battery.dtb
And done . I can now install the updates from the stock firmware. Maybe I will root it again once a stable way to root the shield tablet appear out there. :cyclops:
Happy Holidays and Thanks for the interest! :good:
Nvidia updates definitely trump Android ones. These days, Google is in the habit of pretending that a nexus 5 camera bug is worthy of a new Android version (that was KitKat) or that an update is a great place to break functionality (App Ops, also with KitKat). Anything that's not a minor version with updates you know you want... Avoid on a non Nexus unless you have a great reason for it.
Manufacturers besides Google, see, they do this thing I like to call quality control. They generally release an OS that is ready for the hardware and software*. Crazy, right?
* unless that hardware is, say, the pen
