Hi, All -- I rooted my Google Play Edition Galaxy S4 using Chainfire's method, and it's now generating an error when it tries to install the OTA update to Android 4.3. I've unrooted the phone using SuperSU and have wiped it, but it still won't install the OTA.
Can anyone help?
Thanks, Alan

Ah. No, I haven't. I didn't realize that was necessary, and I'm searching now and not finding instructions on how to do that. Can you point me in the right direction?
Thank you!

If you rooted using CF-AutoRoot then it's likely your recovery was replaced. You need to flash the stock 4.2.2 recovery in all likelihood.
To be sure, what error does the screen show when you try to install the OTA. That will help us diagnose what isn't passing the OTA pre-check.
I have same issue here trying to update OTA update. Device rooted and bootloader unlocked.
When trying to install 4.3 OTA update, it rebooted into TWRP and start flashing but twrp mentioned some files not found and aborted, didn't even get a chance to look at the errors. After boot back up, it still show 4.2.2 and checking system update doesn't say new update found anymore.

Thanks so much for helping with this. The screen just says "error." Is there any way I can get more information? And if flashing stock 4.2.2 recovery is what I need to do, how would I do it?
Thank you!

No problem. Go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43500355 and follow the steps, but try at first only doing the step that flashes recovery. Can you take a photo of your screen? What recovery are you using to flash the OTA?

I updated my previous post. If you really want fool-proof working 4.3, you can follow the steps in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2388504 and just ODIN the full stock 4.2.2 and then try to apply the upgrade.

This. I was stuck on this for a while. You first need to make sure you have stock recovery. I also had to reflash a new system IMG but the recovery was a big problem.
OK, I followed the instructions to re-lock my bootloader, which seems to have been done successfully, but I'm still facing the same error (as seen in the attached photo). So I guess I need to flash the stock recovery. I'm game to try the Heimdall approach or the ODIN approach that have already been suggested, but I wonder if there's a simpler way to do this. Based on what I read here, it sounds like I could just download stock recovery from here, and then just type these commands to flash it:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
Does that approach make sense? And sound safe? Or would I be better off going down the ODIN or Heimdall roads?
Thank you all for your help in navigating this!

This is basically what I followed to re-root after 4.3. Worked fine. You're just booting to CWM recovery temporarily to install the SuperSU update. Then it will revert back to stock recovery.

Hello mates,
this morning my nexus 7-wifi (unlocked bot not rooted. w/ CWM) said me there is a system update for new android os. Kitkat.
Then i install the update without getting any CWM backup.
Zip file started to be installed in CWM and it processed all install. steps successfully.
However when the progress bar reach to %100, it said something like "...status 7.... installation aborted" (do not remember clearly).
And after reboot i come across a new boot animation (kitkat's new animation i think) which does not end up to a system start or an error message.
Now,
what should i do to complete installation of kitkat?
Thanks in advance.

I did the same exact thing that you did and experienced the same error. Luckily, I came across a stickied thread, ""Flashing a factory image with fastboot / return to stock" and followed the instructions EXACTLY and.. it worked! It took me back to 4.3 which was great because at lease tablet was working again! (I had tried everything else I could think of!) What was funny was that within 2 minutes of the tablet up and running again I received the OTA push for 4.4!
I would strongly suggest following the instructions posted in the thread I mentioned above as they worked perfectly.

Hello buddy,
thank you for the feedback. But i do not want to lose my data in the tablet. So, first i will try to fix this without wiping data.
Currently i install adb files to my pc.
And i managed to find the zip file i need to upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4 without losing any data.
If i can flash this zip file via adb i will be ok. but i cannot flash it via adb, because of the recovery i am using (i think ). With CWM i could not do that. after adb sideload **********.zip command, it says "error: device not found"
now i am looking for a solution to this error.
But if i could have had my tablet open in stock recovery, it might already be solved.
PROBLEM SOLVED.
HERE IS THE STEPS TAKEN:
DOWNLOAD OTA FILE FROM 4.3 TO 4.4 (NOT FACTORY IMAGE).
DOWNLOAD LATEST SDK, RUN SETUP.
PUT THE OTA FILE IN sdk\platform-tools DIRECTORY.
SIDELOADING THE OTAFILE:
http://www.droid-life.com/2013/02/1...date-a-nexus-without-root-or-custom-recovery/
IF YOUR DEVICE IS NOT RECOGNIZED DURING SIDELOADING CHECK THIS:

Does this work on a rooted nexus?
Only reason I'm asking is cause the sideloading link states "..to update nexus without root..."
Hi there
So, I can't enter recovery when I go into the bootloader to do so. I click 'recovery' and it just shows the black start up screen with the google logo. And nothing else happens. Ever. I reflashed recovery, and was able to get into recovery to install a new rom. However, after that one time, I was once again, unable to enter recovery. Now I haven't the time to be reflashing recovery just to get into it every time I want to, so I looked for a solution.
I did some reading around and apparently it's the bootloader version I'm using. (According to post five in this thread, and my assumption that I'm having a similar problem to this thread's OP.
Now if that is the solution to my problem as well, I need a bit of help. I can't find a file for the old bootloader, nor do I have any idea how to flash an old bootloader. (And please know, I wouldn't be asking had a google search not come up fruitless).
EDIT: Would flashing a completely stock 4.4.2 image update my bootloader? I wouldn't mind doing that, rooting that, and then just installing purity rom or something.

Hi Mate ,
I been looking for the same but for other reasons , to flash it is not too difficult for what i see in this thread tell how to do it manually:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2150251
or
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2417097
in the first one they even have a zip version of it which should install like any other zip from recovery
Also you can use a tool kit like NRT which makes life a lot easier once you got the bootloader image...(advance utilities)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475
My problem is that i do not know where can i get the different bootloader images...
To your question i think so , bootloader should be included in the factory image......downloading one to confirm.
also check this information

If you download the factory image, extract it, the bootloader is in the folder. Then just flash through fastboot. Just make sure you download the correct bootloader for your device
For anyone reading this thread, my solution was too move to the 4.32 bootloader from JWR66V. I flashed the .img file from this thread using Wugfresh's fantastic toolkit. (linked to in the 2nd post of this thread).

seems like adb metod requires bootloader unlocked....
I think i bricked my device
I did the update using the adb method. It booted perfectly and was working well too. I also performed a factory reset and it was working fine then as well. However after using it for a couple of hours I decided to do a quick reboot. Now I am stuck at the initial motorola logo. Boot animation doesn't get played. I can boot into recovery and fastboot too. Please help. I can't find my device in the device manager too.

Hi, can you please give me more infos about the whole process? i've never rooted or flashed nothing so i'm really out of it.
I've been looking online for a complete guide to downgrade the tablet but i didn't find anything which could help.
I won't risk to brick it if i do the wrong things just trying without know exactly the right steps to follow.
Wish you can give me the steps to follow so i can go back to KK and finally use it as it was.
Lately i'm facing worst battery life (its able to play movies for 2h and mins) and it's getting really hot :crying:
Thanks in advance.
