Help a noob out - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I updated my pa 3.69 to 3.94 without factory reset and rooting it again. Should it be a problem if I didn't install the new radio and bootloader because I tried to install it and it failed.

Stock rom rooted issues

Hey guys I have recently rooted my Nexus 4 and left the stock rom on it. Now a few days later I am experiencing issues mainly with apps that change settings, like juicedefender or a cpu speed app.
I have done some research and according to juicedefender error log it shows I need to have busybox or I should have CyanogenMod.
Ok i hav 3 questions
1. Will installing busy box cause me to lose any data?
2. I know installing CyanogenMod ROM will clear all my data is there a way for me to backup need for speed and bad piggies?
3. Is there a way for me to keep my stock rom and fix these problems?

Since you're rooted all you need to do for backups is download Titanium Backup and use that to keep all of your data.
Alright im a noob at all this any idea if i should get cm nightly, stable or whatever version ? And if i go with release candidate can i change it to nightly in the future?

You will probably want to start with a stable release before jumping into a nightly. Nightly build aren't really known for stability.

To update cm all you need to do is download new rom, boot to recovery, flash rom and gapps, wipe cache, reboot. Of course this only applies if the rom base hasn't changed, which is infrequent.

If you are going to flash cm for the first time a wipe is required. Usually wipes aren't required when flashing a newer version of a Rom.
But will it wipe data automatically? No. Wiping data is an option you have to confirm in recovery.
Is that what you are asking?

Dude, stop using expletives in your titles. You have a thread open already so either change the title of that or continue with it. You don't have to swear to get help...
Having said that, it seems clear you don't really know what you're doing do I'd be looking to get my knowledge up to scratch before flashing a custom ROM

As stated above, redownload (you have to redownload, since the original download may be corrupt and be causing the error) and reflash everything, thats ROM and Gapps.
Did you wipe system, data etc... before flashing?

Did you flash properly?
Proper order?
Read the thread to see if anyone had similar issues?
Which recovery are you using?
Did you do a MD5 check?

You could probably use adb to side load a ROM and gapps, here's a example of how to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317986

Isnt factory reset, just wiping cache and dalvik? If yea, then dirty install isnt the best, depends on rom that im moving from.

factory reset wipes /cache, and /data (without wiping /data/media <--thats where all your pictures and rom zips are stored)
factory reset is needed when moving between completely different ROMs (you can get away with dirty flashes between SOME roms, but its rare)
Oh yea yea, I didn't wipe the internal, something went wrong and the file was deleted, but gapps was there and all my data was there, anyways fixed and got the new nexus 7, enjoying it, much faster and better!

Download the appropriate update zip from here. Yours is probably the 4.3-JWR66Y-from-JWR66V.
Boot into twrp and flash it.

You are able to install it via TWRP. You can download the file from the link above. After flashing you shouldnt lose anything, but make a nandroid backup just in case.

Oh sorry. Well yes you can do that, im just not sure what location that file is downloaded to. (Try googling, or maybe someone else knows where is located)
But the one from the link i provided above should be the same as the one that will be downloaded from the system update straight to your phone.

it's not rolled out to everyone at the same time.
if it's that urgent, download the flashable zip's from the development thread and flash 'em. There's also a factory image available from Google that you can flash from your computuer.

It's not urgent or anything. It's just that I see threads around saying that they got the 4.4.3 update so I was a bit worried....

LOL, in that case I'm not surprised that you haven't received OTA yet btw, you can find stock Google images here:

definitely or you can download and flash 4.4.3 factory image
Lets be honest here you have 2 choices its either wait and no one here can tell you when you will get the update or just flash images... Or my bad third choice root and flash stock zips out there. Keep rebooting if you are worried about it or keep checking if you have a check for update section. Hard to believe anyone with a N4 that does not root it.... Good Luck my friend

My next doubt is...... Now I've the ota zip file which is around 78mb...... should I flash the 4.4.3 kernel and radio first and then flash the ota file or can I directly flash the ota file??

If you don't have the stock 4.4.2 kernel you will have to flash that first. The radio shouldn't matter

Use the link I gave you earlier. It'll flash the full factory image except for recovery and userdata. It does not wipe the device

Just use wug toolkit to flash the OTA zip and root after again.
A few computer clicks is all that it takes.
Only things you need to start is to have ready at your device, the zip files of ota and supersu.

OTA update are performed in batches, so after several days, you will get the OTA update, if unsuccessful, you will be shifted to another batch of updates.
