Error downloading updates! - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone!
My dad's nexus 4 hasn't been downloading updated recently. Whenever he says update all, many errors come. Any ideas?
By the way, he's on official 4.3. Stock, Unrooted.

External storage error

Hi. I was on a plane last night after the longest week ever on a trip.
I have a perfectly functioning nexus 10. I downloaded a flashable zip of clockwork touch recovery instead of the non touch one I was using.
Stupidly I flashed it and rebooted and ever since I get the gallery error of now external storage. Google play doesn't work either.
In setting the nexus knows I have 13gb available and I get no error messages when I boot into recovery.
A pain in the butt for sure and I am not sure how to undo my stupidity.

I tried reflashing. I tried fastboot -w. I tried a few other things but to no avail.
I'd prefer to just blast the entire partition structure and start over

I'll redo the boot loader tomorrow. Maybe flash the Ubuntu preview then back.
Thoughts?

So far no luck. I've relocked and unlocked. Changed recoveries. Installed ROM after ROM and still same error. I'm completely at a loss
Anyone have any ideas?

Did you try fix permissions in recovery?It's worth a shot.
I dunno why flashing any version of CWM would cause this though.
I did yes sir. I tried 100 million things. In the storage section of settongs the tablet knew it was a 16gb. But just wouldn't let it be mountable or usable.

Its almost like it doesn't know its partition size or where it is.

I am having the same issue, not able to access Google play or the internal storage even after reinstalling to factory image many times. Have you got it resolved from Samsung. Please update
Hi. Sorry for the delay.
Sadly I contacted Samsung about it and it was officially broken. Happily Samsung repaired it under warranty for me. It was the motherboard that died.

[Q] Encryption

I encrypted my N4, and now I can't undo it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Sorry if it sounds noob-ish.

I believe the only way to remove encryption is to factory reset.

Tried that. Factory reset, wiped data, sys, boot, davlik, cache, everything. Still encrypted when i flash a new rom

PS, Both ROM and TWRP ask for encryption password after wiping and flashing.

I have a feeling that this is what's preventing me from using Ubuntu
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4
No, you just do a full wipe in TWRP. It's called format data, no way you can miss such a big button: http://cloud.addictivetips.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/TWRP-Recovery-Wipe.jpg

Updated to 4.2.2, get no signal now

I restarted my phone, reinserted the Sim tried everything I'm still not getting signal, anyone have this problem?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
How did you update? OTA, flash ROM, etc...Have you tried SIM in a different phone? Could be a bad radio? What does your baseband say in System> About phone?
It was the official OTA
I never updated because 4.2.2 killed LTE but then I did anyways
My baseband says unknown
Edit: the 4.3 update came, I tried updating but it said error half way through wtf!!!

See this a lot, updating killed the radio. You probably don't have an imei number either.
Try flashing an official factory image.

Don't waste time with doing anything else. Flashing the factory image will not get your imei number back and without it, you will never get a signal. When you call to RMA it, be sure to tell them you lost the imei number during the upgrade process. They should have plenty of lost imei cases in the system already.

Regardless it's safe to just flash the factory update, then see where you can go from there if all fails use that as your last resort

Nexus 7 lagging after update 4.4.2

Hi guys sorry if the thread already post before. My nexus has 4.4.2 rooted and already install twrp. I play game a lot on my nexus 7. But after upgrading to newest ota feel so lag when i try to play shadow gun dead zone. Is there any way how to fix it. I thought it was my wifi problem but when i switch to my old motorola phone it works like a charm.
Thanks in advance

Go into recovery and wipe dalvik and cache.
If that doesn't work, a backup of your apps to your pc hard drive and then a factory reset usually helps, but do the dalvik wipe first so you don't have to reinstall your apps and see if that works first.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
Thanks i will try to wipe it first and see if this work.

Did you try the wipe? Did it work?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Yes i finally wipe and somehow still lag. So bye2 to stock rom hehehhe. I flash purity rom and wow no lag anymore, everything seem smooth as butter
Thanks

But did the flash do a wipe of everything? If so, that's probably why. I'm on stock 4.4.2 and I don't have lag.

I wipe dalvik cache, and data. I m afraid to wipe system. I m not familiar with twrp. So only wipe does thing.
My nexus had a soft brick before when i update to ota and thats give me nightmare. So what would you suggest, do i have to wipe again dalvik, data system? Sorry for noob question but the lag just still there after on day flash from the rom.
Thanks

Modeified software

Hey there, a friend of mine has given his sgs3 to the repair center, and after receiving it, he is on 4.1.2 and when he tries to update, gets a message like "you have modified sofrware". How can this be solved?
P.s. Sorry for posting here, but i tried to post in q&a and got a message saying "forum closed".

Sounds like it's rooted. Did your friend send it in that way?

No, he never rooted his phone or flashed custom fw. He was always on stock.
Update: i checked it now and its rooted, but i can confirm that he didn't root it himself. Will unrooting and factory reset fix the update issue?
