cannot flash any 4.3 jss roms

Hey i'm new to android stuff but i have followed the steps for flashing the custom rom (unlockbootloader, root, custom recovery twrp, wipe system cache dalvik, and install zip and gapps) it's working perfectly on 4.2.2 but in 4.3 it seems stuck on the boot animation, is there any special steps on 4.3 build?
I'm using stock 4.3, sorry for my bad english

[Q] Question about MS2Ginger

I'm currently running CM10.2 by Engle_Mars but I would like to try MS2Ginger 5. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931968 )
I've read the thread but can't really find some concrete information as to the installation steps. Do I need to install both the rom and the kernel listed in that thread?
I have the latest kernel: SPKernelR6+UP.7z (16.05 - New Revision! <Rev6>) and the v5 Rom.
In cm10.2 Do I just reboot to recovery, install the kernel, install the rom, wipe data/cache, reboot?
Thanks.

You dont need to install kernel from MSGinger thread. It is working with stock one without any problem
0. Extract rom to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
1. you must format data and cache to ext3 - you can do that from bootmenu
2. boot to recovery and flash this recovery: http://www.mediafire.com/?i1rcie7tf4y6rmu
because CM10.2 has TWRP recovery and it cant recover CWM nandroid backups
3. Boot to CWM based Recovery.
4. Restore the ROM.
5. Reboot , boot again to CWM
6. Now Wipe Data & Cache.

Thank you!

[Q] Upgrading from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2

Hi everyone,
I'm planning on upgrading my Nexus 4 to KitKat.
Currently I'm using PA 3.69 (4.2.2) with Franco Kernel and CWM Recovery.
1. What files do I need to flash for the upgrade, possibly with links? (I'm going for Purity ROM)
2. In what order should I do the flashing process?
3. Should I upgrade CWM before flashing, and if yes, which is the latest version that supports 4.4 and how does upgrading work?
Thanks in advance

If you want to install stock KK, you can download the factory Occam images and install via fastboot.
If you want to install a custom rom, you may need to update your recovery to the latest version and flash a KK rom that includes an updated radio and boot img.

So you think I can:
1. Upgrade CWM to 6.0.4.5 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198942
2. Flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545838, since it includes Bootloader and Radio.
3. Flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281607 (Purity ROM)
4. Flash any desired Kernel (e.g. Franco) and use Titanium backup to restore my apps?

U just have to download the Rom. Install it. Set it up. Then boot back into recovery and install the kernel
I don't think u have to update CWM. So just steps 3 and 4

I'm asking cause I am coming from 4.2.2 with old radio and bootloader and I want the most up-to-date ones.
And I am sure that just flashing the rom will cause problems... What do I need to wipe prior to flashing?

I checked the links. Your method seems to be OK.
As for wiping, you need to wipe data, cache and dalvik cache from the recovery when you flash the Purity Rom

Everything has worked flawlessly. Thanks!

Updating from rooted 4.3 to 4.4

I'm currently running an LS980 with a CM10.2 nightly with TWRP and either ZV8 or ZV7–they both have the same baseband? This was all the latest and greatest as of when I updated in December.
Now I'm trying to just to a decent CM11 or Pacman ROM, but I'm getting confused as I wade through disorganized threads with people with questions not related to my setup. There's a whole mess of downgrades and autorec and ioroot and other tools that I don't know if I need.
So I have CM10 and old TWRP, what do I need to do for a stable CM11?
Thanks a ton!

1. Download your rom and Gapps (usually provided on the rom thread)
2. Copy your rom and Gapps to your internal sd card (on your phone)
3. Boot into recovery
4. Wipe Data/Factory, wipe System, wipe dalvik cache
5. Install your rom first, then Gapps
6. Reboot
7. Profit !
As long as you stick with CM or other aosp-based roms, you're good to go. You don't need to do fancy things to have a working kitkat rom with root and recovery.
If you want a Stock KitKat rom, then you're going to need IOroot 2.5 to root your G2 and then use AutoRec (provided by cloudyfa) to get a working recovery.
That's it !
Edit: think about updating your recovery beforehand, it won't hurt and may save you from going back to square one

Hey, flashing this rom soft bricked my phone when i rebooted for the second time, so i had to restore back to JB. But then i again installed KK FOTA and before rebooting for the second time i flashed CleanKat into it. Its been working fine since then.
