Question about OTA - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since I'm rooted with custom rom/kernel, my guess is that I won't get ota. But I can flash the image in bootloader.
Since my favorite roms are 4.2, and it looks like my favorite kernels are in the same boat I feel like I should wait.
If I wanna keep them I should wait? Right

If u want to use 4.2 ROMs, it seems obviously you should wait updating yeah.
And no u wont get OTA when on custom recovery, neither on custom rom/kernel.

You can install the OTA manually but you wont be able to install the OTA from the system updates setting.

Check the market for OTA root keeper, use that and let the update install.

It never used to work without stock recovery but I think CWM will allow you to install the OTA now.

Its been working fine without stock recovery for a long time.

What should I do to not get the OTA?

I wanna keep lte, and I have no issues with 4.2.1
Because once the ota comes the stupid notification doesn't go away
Should I root? I heard if you're rooted you don't get the OTA

If you don't have stock ROM or Kernal the update should fail - I think.
Just ignore the request to update once it comes into your phone.

you just need to reinstall the old modem once you updated to get LTE back

Does 4.2.2 ota break root?

Said something about unsigned or unverified from cwm recovery. Aborted now I'm curious what to do next.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Yes it does, I'm currently having this problem... Rooted, updated ota and now root is gone and not sure what to do

Guess I'll wait till I get home so I can root again. Thanks

I just used the toolkit to root again afterwards.
Toolkit option 4?

Yes. However, mine is the donate version, so I'm not sure if that will make a difference. You might want to check out the thread first.
Why not just fastboot flash your recovery and then use that to flash your su zip?

4.2.1 ROM needed

I need to use screencast to record my screen but it's not compatible with 4.2.2, is there any up to date ROMs with 4.2.1 as the base?

Not as far as i know, look in the OTA Helpdesk thread for how to flash OTA`s when you are rooted.
So all 4.2.1 ROMs are deleted? I found CFX ones but they don't run well and I might search for killrom

Update to 4.3

I'm trying to get the system update from the settings but it keep saying that is my device is up to date.
anyone know why??
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Honestly, it should come up naturally..If it doesn't work, you can always download the stock image from Google site and flash it manually.. Just search for the name efrant in this forum, you'll get what you seek

I only got my N4 on Tuesday and the 4.3 update appeared within minutes. Are you on WiFi, maybe that makes a difference

Pretty sure you only get the update on stock rom. Are you sure the update isn't from PA?
Nope, i checked the Settings in System updates and got a message about 4.3 system update.
