you MUST reflash a kind of stock/not gps moddified version :/

Getting this same issue on wifes Nexus 4. Its stock with the 4.3 JB OTA no mods or root since that OTA. Can't understand why GPS.conf could be changed.
If I root and TWRP could a factory image update.zip with the -w wipe removed work to get her to KitKat without wiping and redoing her phone? I am used to flashing custom roms this stock ota stuff is giving me a headache.

You do not use custom rom or custom recovery to flash factory image. Use the links in my signature for instructions.

I understand that, she is stock ROM, with stock recovery and not rooted when she is having this issue. No root TWRP or custom rom involved. Since it wasn't working with stock recovery was looking for options without wiping device during factory image flash to fix GPS.conf file thats buggered.
She got the OTA normal way on her phone this afternoon, but it failed. Will check out your sig links when I get home and see if I can solve this without spending all night setting her phone back up from a factory image wipe :/ Thx for feedback and any pointers

The flashing will required an unlocked bootloader, so if its not unlocked you will lose all data when unlocking it. (Doing a factory reset in stock recovery also wipe everything.)
I don't really know what else you can do, if there were never any modifications, then the problem is due to Google having too much protections and issues for their OTA packages.

Unlocked so can do the method in your guide. But she says she wants to clean up her phone so a clean start will probably perform better and she gets the clean slate she wants, problem solved Though OTA checks annoy me now lol
thx for the feedback and guides

Follow this thread to restore your phone to stock.

This will wipe everything (including internal SD card) and return your phone to the same state as if you were pulling it out of the box for the first time.

Not exactly... After this method the phone status remains "rooted" when booted in download mode. Couple of users reported this problem...

That tool does not unroot your phone. All it does it trip the root flag so when you boot into download mode it says unrooted. It is meant to be used so that if you take your phone into your carriers store and an associated wants to check if its rooted, it will say its unrooted when the associate puts it in download mode, but it is in fact still rooted. This DOES NOT unroot the phone.

Sure. But after you flash kdz file with flashtool the phone isn't rooted anyway, although in DLM it states "rooted"...
As I undrstand it, somehow after you flash kitkat kdz it misses some files and status "rooted" appears in DLM. Explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2703501

Interesting. I never had that happen when I used it. I'll keep an eye on this thread in case something's happens. Thanks for sharing.

OnePlus One July OTA Update Android 4.4.4

Yep it's out.
For those of you in need to manually update read below.
Download: cm-bacon-d22b777afa-to-0428073396-signed.zip (KTU84P, XNPH30O)
Install: To install the update, flash a custom recovery (TWRP recommended), boot into it, then sideload using adb sideload - if you've ever updated a Nexus device before, then you'll feel right at home, as the steps are exactly the same. TWRP will ask if you want to re-root at the end.

Wtf is this thread....anyways has anyone tried a clean flash yet?

just flashed it. thanks man!

Why can you flash the zip, why do you have to sideload it ?

Mine keeps failing some sort of verification check, on both cm recovery and twrp.

I flashed it through TWRP, NO ISSUES

Are you sure you're installing with "adb sideload" as instructed? You can't install from the "install" button in TWRP.

yep. on both the stock cm recovery and twrp i get this error:
Code:
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/framework/apache-xml.jar","44e4.........","eab54.........")

If you've flashed any mods or made any changes to the system. It will fail.

If you guys flashed my Smooth Scrolling Mod, flash the revert and then try the OTA
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...scrolling-mod-mahdi-rom-t2840934/post54762296
Basically when you're on stock ROM and if you did any changes to your /system/ then it will not update because its been modified.

does this include removal of apps ? Mine failed to sideload as well.+
Edit 1: I did do some modding of the build.prop as well this morning.

I had a feeling that the system partition was a problem, so i wiped it and then reflashed the previous build from cyngn.com and the update still fails.

Same problem here, fails at:
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/framework/apache-xml.jar","44e4.........","eab54.........")
Everything is stock, except Recovery. Tried with original recovery and it still fails...

Got mine to update even though the system partition was updated with a modified updater-script.
I will upload the entire zip with the updated script. For those that know what they are doing the updater-script is attached.
Edit 1: Note you do loose root. You have to install supersu again if you did have it previously (if you modified system then you did)

I have a louder sound mod. So basically I have to reflash to pure stock to use this? That sucks.

look at my post.

I guess the update.zip factory image from the official site isn't truly stock. so i went with the nuclear option and just reflashed everything via fastboot. update worked perfectly now haha.

I have the same problem, I tried to reinstall recovery, reinstall rom, baseband, bootloader, but I always get the same result.
But it's always a hope, if you try a lot of times to enter into recovery, and if you're lucky, you will get access to partitions, for example, I have to reboot into recovery for 20 to 30 times, and I get access to partitions in 1 of that 20 or 30 attempt. In that attempt that I got access to partitions I installed a custom rom, just try a lot of times, you're going to be lucky in one, it's all that you need :good:

cant restore? let me see the recovery log. Maybe the emmc chip is going bad or you need to make sure odin re partitions your phone when you go back to stock.
