[Q] Cant Install System Update to JB 4.3 - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have Nexus 4 running rooted JB 4.3Stock (Build JWR66V). I have also installed xposed framework. Recover is TWRP. Last week I got a system update notification. Update size is about 1.8 MB. After rebooting for installing the update, TWRP shows a message that Root permission may have been broken and displays a button to fix the permission. Even i choose to ignore this and reboot, root permission is not affected in anyways after reboot. However, I noticed that system was not updated and the build number remain the same. After couple of days, i get the update notification again and once again the same thing repeats. Can anyone tell me why its not getting updated?

Its the JWR66Y update, have you looked here for info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145848. Or just reflash the factory image and reroot and you`re done http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312.

Re:
Hi Is the update failing because of Xposed Framework? any idea?

Off course, and you have a custom recovery and possibly a custom kernel. Updates can only be installed on factory images, unless you flash them with a custom recovery like TWRP.

Hi it worked! The android build is now JWR66Y. I uninstalled the xposed framework and then flashd the update file thru TWRP. Eventhough after flashin the update, i flashed the SU, it didnt work (TWRP was showing that the installation was success). When i rebooted, cudnt find SU in apps. So I just installed the app from Play Store and it worked! Now I have root access too.
Thanks mate!

[Q] SuperSU binaries are not updating...

I tried everything for note 3 to get the SuperSU binaries update to date and I tried all version from the su website or play store. All I get is Installation failed. I am clean stock rooted.
Questions and Help issues belong in Q&A and Help section, thanks!

What version of supersu do you have? 2.01?
yup I have the latest SU installed, the problem is that whenever the su app is updated the binaries fail to install, but if I do a factory reset and install the most current version then there are updated... Does the SU app require internet to update/download the binaries?
I was having a similar issue with SuperSU and any all other super user apps. They install, and attempt to update binaries. At this point it never completes the update or the phone crashes and reboots. Haven't quite figured out what the snag is myself.
My issue comes and goes. right now it also asks to update binaries but always fails
I had this issue when I first rooted on stock 4.4.2. So I'm guessing you're on stock? Here download this http://download.chainfire.eu/451/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.01.zip and instead of installing it. I zip it and go to the common folder. Extract supersu apk and install it. Then run it from the app drawer. Tell me if that works!
That is the not the solution, I have formatted my phone multiple times. I have never been able to update binaries. There has to be a solution to this problem..

Why would you format your phone?
I having this weird error when I uninstall an/any app, the android.acore app/service force closes. I tried to wipe clean many times. I just received it again. So whenever I reformat the phone, I can't update the binaries for some reason

[Q] Android marshmallow ota update failed.

Last night received an ota update to marshmallow. Size is around 583mb. After finishing the download. It asked me to install now or later. I hit now, and it rebooted and stock recovery opened and installation stated. After a minute it rebooted without any error back to android 5.1.1 it said it there was an error updating and I have to download the ota again.
I haven't flashed custom recovery or rom or any other mods. But have super su installed. No xposed even. I just ran twrp recovery temporarily without flashing to install super su. Bootloader unlocked. Any inputs how to get this fixed?? Battery is about 62%

Try to use the unroot function on SuperSU. If this doesn't work, I guess you'll need to flash the whole stock rom...

Till u r rooted, you can't update normally. Either try u rooting or
Look for the twrp flashable Marshmallow thread instead if you want to install twrp.

Unrooted and flashed stock rom from fastboot commands and system status is still Modified. Downloaded OTA update and it installed itself and system turned to Official from Modified.

PHH's Root Disappeared

Hi Guys.
As the title suggests root access suddenly disappeared from my nexus 6p yesterday.
DigitalHigh rom 7.0 was flashed through the latest twrp (3.0.2-2) and everything was running fine. I got the notification that the SU binary is out of date from PHH's SuperUser. Opened it but nothing really happened. So I downloaded superSU and suddenly it prompted me that the device isn't rooted. Being unfamiliar with PHH's SU I decided to flash the latest SuperSu through TWRP but the phone wouldn't boot.
Right now it has been restored to a backup taken just before flashing SuperSU which means everything is running fine and even android pay works however there's no root access. Is there something specific that might have caused this?
Are there any ways to re-gain root?
Haven't gone through the process of a clean flash yet as the phone is needed for work however even if all of that is done the SU binary will still need to be updated. Is there a different method for updating PHH's root?
So far I have tried clearing cache etc. but noting worked.

Phhusson's superuser and SuperSU don't mix. If you're back to booted, but not rooted with Phh, you'll need to either flash one of the Nougat boot images from the nexus/angler folder or the latest superuser.zip (I think the latest is r229) from http://superuser.phh.me

updating rooted phone

Hi all,
I am using XT1643 indian version. I have successfully rooted it using TWRP recovery. However, I haven't changed the rom. Today, it is showing OTA update of security fixes. Should I update it or is there any particular method for updating or should I ignore the update.
Thanks.

flash stock recovery and then update
FlashFire
or Just use Flashfire A handy Application for updating rooted phone. but remember one thing always keep backup and stock rom file to your pc if something goes wrong you can easily re flash your stock rom.
Both options doesn't work.
With FlashFire, it is impossible to find the update file, and with stock recovery, its gives an error when updating
If FlashFire doesn't work, you should first unroot your device, uninstall xposed if you already installed it, also remember to use stock kernal after that.. flash stock recovery than update via ota. Let us update what happen
Edit :- I tried my self
1. unistalled xposed
2. un rooted
3. wiped all data, dalvik cache, and other stuf..exclude system
4. rebooted
5. flashed stock recovery
6. reboot again
7. download ota
8. device reboot again in stock recovery
9. And failed to update
10. So we cant update our phone unless new updated stock images available...

Yo all,
I've rooted my op5 and installed twrp recovery, and ever since - after downloading OTA update and rebooting, it always boots into TWRP recovery and when i'm rebooting into system i get notificaiton that the update was failed.

any suggetions on how to keep my phone rooted and get the automatic updates to work?
Thx:fingers-crossed:

That's normal. If you are rooted, you won't be able to install ota, instead you need to install full zip

Too bad
Once I'll flash the update and my root will be gone, will it work? I mean, it's related only to root and not to TWRP?

Just when flashing full zip, flash SuperSU or Magisk before first boot and everything will be fine. If you flash SuperSU or Magisk before booting, you will need loose twrp either.
I'm rooted with Magisk and can do OTA's no problem
