Hello
I have a Nexus 4 with Paranoid Android 3.69 (the 4.2.2 version), and I'm wondering myself if i can update to PA 3.92 (the 4.3 version) without doing a factory reset. Is it possible?
Thanks s lot :cyclops:
The newest version won't work correctly without a full wipe. You can make it work, but a full wipe is recommended.
Just follow Moles' instructions in the OP.

For some reason, I can't flash the latest cm, matrix or gapps on 4.2.2 (or even 4.3 before i switched back) without getting stuck on the black screen after the google screen..
I had to revert to CM10.1.2, Matr1x 9.5 & Gapps 20130812..
The latest versions I tried were CM10.1.3, Matr1x 11 & Gapps 20130813 both from stock 4.3 as well as stock 4.2.2 (bootloader unlocked & rooted of course)
It isnt that big of a deal.. I just want to know why this is happening..

try a different gapps.
Hi all,
My specs are as follows:
1. Got a Nexus 4 with Android 4.3
2. Did a Sideload update to 4.4 and did not like what I saw )
3. Installed CyanogenMod 10.2 -20131114-SNAPSHOT-InstallerWPPQ46R-Mako via CyanogenMod Installer (screenshot attached)
4. Flashed the 4.3 radio via WUG's Nexus Root Toolkit because I did not have wifi.
I have CWM 6.0.4.3 that came preinstalled with the CM 10.2
I tried to do an update so I flashed the cm-11-20131205-SNAPSHOT-M1-mako.zip and the kitkat gapps via this process:
1. Booted to recovery
2. Wipe Cache
3. Wipe davlik
4. Installed Rom
5. Insalled Gapps
6. Wipe Cache
7. Wipe Davlik
The result was a "beautiful" bootloop. I like the new CM logo BTW )
Reading through some similar threads I came across several pieces of advice:
1. Update the recovery as the verion of recovery that comes with CM 10.2 is unable to flash CM 11.
Is the recovery from here an option?
2. One was to install a fresh version of kitkat and then install CM 11 which I don't fancy
3. Wipe data from device.
Could I get your input on how exactly can I proceed in order to get a fully working version of CM11 on my Nexus4?
Thanks a million
Andrei
Nobody with this problem?
no one has had this issue?
Updated to CM 10.2 Stable
In the meantime I updated to CM 10.2 stable version and also updated recovery to CWM Touch 6.0.4.5 from the link in the first post of this thread. Strangely enough now I am receiving information about update builds, even to the CM11 Snapshot.
As fellow Nexus 4 Users, which do you recommend: TWRP or CWM?
Thanks!

Do you already did it upgrade to "cm11"? if so how did you do?

Nope, just upgraded today to 10.2.1, the last stable version of cm10, released on the 3rd of Feb. I didn't upgrade to CM11, but when I get bored I will I was on kitkat before and it did not impress...
I think you need to update the baseband
To flash a 4.4 based rom you gonna need :
1-latest selinux compatible recovery.
2-latest bootloader, ver makoz30d .
3-.97 or .98 radio.
Radio and bootloader you can find in googles stock img for mako, extract them and flash via fastboot or find them on xda in a form of flashable zip file.
After all 3 stages you will be able to flash cm11 without a problem, note that a full wipe is highly recommended when coming from 4.3 roms.
Good luck buddy.
XDA,
I am currently running PA 3.69 (Android 4.2.2) with stock PA kernel and a .48 modem, and I am looking to flash the new CM11 M3 snapshot (4.4) with franco.Kernel and put on MultiROM with Ubuntu Touch. I have been out of the custom ROM scene for a while and I would like to make sure I get this right the first time.
Do I need to flash a 4.4 modem before I update the OS? Then, do I just flash the .ZIP from CM's website from within CWM? Or should I grab a factory image from Google and start from there?
Also, should I flash the franco.Kernel immediately after rebooting into the ROM, or does it not matter? I had problems with flashing kernels on my old phone after the OS had already been running for a long time.
Thanks in advance to all of you guys, you're an awesome community to be a part of.

Both kk modem and bootloader aren't mandatory but they are recommended
While you're in recovery flash the desired kernel after the rom but also you can do it after reboot
And... There are help threads here where you can start rather than opening another topic

hello,
full picture: i rooted my nexus4 and installed Purity Rom (4.4.2) about a month ago. when the "[ROM] [4.4.3] [KTU84L] Pure Stock - Google Factory Image! + New Radio" was posted ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/rom-pure-stock-google-factory-image-ota-t2566042 ) i wiped and installed (ROM and Radio and SuperSU) and tried it for a few days. it worked fine but then i saw that "[ROM][4.4.3][0506]FactoryMod: V3 ONLINE-White UI, RebootMenu, SystemMods, Adfree+More" was posted and I wanted to try it out ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/rom-nexus-4-factory-rom-deodex-rooted-t2771527 ) so I wiped/factory reset and flashed the ROM and SuperSU but when i check the device info the build still shows at the Stock Rom. In fact i see none of the Mods at all. i tried wiping and flashing again and it still did not stick.
does this have something to do with flashing the stock 4.4.3 rom? is there something else I am not doing?
thanks
I'm running 4.4.4 but want to go to 5.1. I did run 5.0.1 for a while but factory reset back to 4.4.4. I seem to remember that OTA updated fine from 4.4.4 to 5.0.1 even with custom recovery and root. However my phone is only showing the OTA for 5.0.1, do I need to upgrade to this I order for 5.1 OTA to show.
Why not go straight for CM 12.1 (5.1) ? It runs veeeeeery nice. Better than stock 5.1 update (IMO)
What's the advantage of using cm these days, my last experience of it was on my old zte blade. I thought stock was now on par with cyanogen. Will their installer allow from rooted 4.4.4 to 5.1 while keeping my user data?
