Hello,
if i flash stock 4.4 does all my data get lost?
Will i then still be able too boot 4.3 CustomROMs with Multiboot?
Thanks in advance
If you use the flash-all.bat all data will get lost, including all your media, but I dont know if there's already a working Multiboot recovery for kitkat.

Hello,
I've only yesterday rooted my phone for the very first time and followed a guide on how to flash PA. In the guide it told me to flash a radio and boot loader, which apparently I wasn't supposed to flash because I was on 4.3 already. So I didn't have service, someone told me to reflash 4.3 which I did using the stock rom downloaded from android dev page. But It won't flash the system it returns an error regarding the usb port. I flashed 4.2.2 which did flash the system but is apparently stuck on the loading screen (nexus X) for about 20 mins or so. Any help on how to reflash stock 4.3 and then reflash just PA 3.99 and Gapps?
cheers

Go into recovery and do factory reset, that should get u past the nexus X... Then just flash pa and gapps your done, flashing a radio and bootloader shouldn't have hurt anything unless u flashed wrong ones, recheck your versions on the files. U should be on a radio that ends in 84 (it works on 4 2.2 so dont worry... U dont need to be on 4.3 to flash pa, just factory reset first

Hi all,
since Kitkat Factory Images have been released, I'm going to flash it over my current CM10.2.
If I use the flash_all script included in the package, will I lose my current CWM and/or the Root?
Moreover, will the phone be automatically totally erased, including the (virtual) SD-Card? I would like so... to have a really fresh install.
Thank you.
Hi everyone,
I'm planning on upgrading my Nexus 4 to KitKat.
Currently I'm using PA 3.69 (4.2.2) with Franco Kernel and CWM Recovery.
1. What files do I need to flash for the upgrade, possibly with links? (I'm going for Purity ROM)
2. In what order should I do the flashing process?
3. Should I upgrade CWM before flashing, and if yes, which is the latest version that supports 4.4 and how does upgrading work?
Thanks in advance
If you want to install stock KK, you can download the factory Occam images and install via fastboot.
If you want to install a custom rom, you may need to update your recovery to the latest version and flash a KK rom that includes an updated radio and boot img.
So you think I can:
1. Upgrade CWM to 6.0.4.5 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198942
2. Flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545838, since it includes Bootloader and Radio.
3. Flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281607 (Purity ROM)
4. Flash any desired Kernel (e.g. Franco) and use Titanium backup to restore my apps?
U just have to download the Rom. Install it. Set it up. Then boot back into recovery and install the kernel
I don't think u have to update CWM. So just steps 3 and 4
I'm asking cause I am coming from 4.2.2 with old radio and bootloader and I want the most up-to-date ones.
And I am sure that just flashing the rom will cause problems... What do I need to wipe prior to flashing?

I checked the links. Your method seems to be OK.
As for wiping, you need to wipe data, cache and dalvik cache from the recovery when you flash the Purity Rom
Everything has worked flawlessly. Thanks!

Hi, Ive recently rooted my phone and was just wondering what I need to do to get OTA for marshmallow in the future and I have a few questions about stock rom.
1. Do I lose root when flashing stock rom?
2. Do my apps and data get deleted when I flash stock rom?
3. Do I lose TWRP and revert to stock recovery when I flash stock rom?
Noob here, so thanks in advance
Marshmallow OTA, you are very optimistic mate, might take 3 months if not more.
Anyway, to answer your queries, yes, flashing stock ROM via Odin removes everything, I mean it removes root, it removes any custom recovery and restores stock recovery. But no it won't wipe your internal memory, but here again there are some firmwares where the devices does get wiped out, but I don't know exactly which one are those! But most firmwares don't touch your internal memory. But if you are coming from a custom ROM then it is highly recommended (mandatory actually) to completely wipe the phone using a custom recovery and then only flash stock ROM.
About thanks, hit the metre, saying thanks doesn't mean anything here in XDA
