I'm a dumb ass and did not back up my build.prop when I used the LTE enabler to get LTE on my nexus 4 running the krt16o factory image. Now, I don't want to lose data but can't apply the ota since my build.prop is edited. I feel like this is the first time rooting and modding with how careless of a mistake I made. Anyway, does anyone have an unedited build.prop for this build so I can apply the update without losing my data. And yes, I did already flash the stock radio back on my phone. Thanks in advance.

You don't need the build prop, the easiest way to do the update its fastboot flash system from the new build krt16s. You won't loose any data
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
I don't think that is the reason why you can't update, what recovery are you using currently to make the update, OTA only work with stock or TWRP, not CWM.
Also don't make question posts in general section.

I'm told the update can't be applied because of changes made to build.prop. it is a mute point anyway since I now get an error of "not enough space" when flashing system.img in fastboot. Now I feel like I'm stuck losing all my data

Just use a root editor like ES File Explorer, edit the build.prop delete the last three lines added to your build.prop, they are:
telephony.lteOnGsmDevice
ro.telephony.default_network
ro.ril.def.preferred.network
Do "fastboot erase system" first before flashing. And make sure you flash the system.img to the correct partition: fastboot flash system system.img

Fastboot erase system will solve the not enough memory issue? Does that wipe my data?

/system partition holds the main OS files, it does not contain your data which is located in the /data partition. (To wipe your data, you have to type fastboot format userdata). You will lose root (including everything in /system partition), but that's easy to get back.
Download a flashable zip copy of the file and the latest supersu, and flash both through your custom recovery.
Worked for me on the first try.

I just ended up backing up my apps with titanium and installed the new factory image then twrp and supersu. More time consuming, but done.

Don't know what was going on in my head but here goes:
Was in the middle of formatting my data so I could install a new rom. Accidently deleted EVERYTHING including the System.
I was able to get into recovery mode before but now I can't. Another problem I ran into was being unable to mount while in recovery.
Any help?
Use adb to push a ROM to your SD and then flash it.
You can't mount from recovery with this phone. It doesn't support ums.
You'll have to push a ROM to your phone while booted in recovery.
The command is:
adb push nameofzip.zip /sdcard/

Managed to get back into TWRP.
I'm trying to push a rom but I'm getting a "Device not found" in the cmd prompt.
Can anyone please help?
I'm trying to push a rom but it's failing with a "Read-Only File system" error.

Mount the file system as R/W. Seriously dude, Google is your friend. Stop panicking and use you brain to work through this.
Edit: If you still can't get it, just use fastboot to flash the stock images. Follow efrant's guide stickied in general.

Adb remount is not mounting your filesystem as R/W.
Edit: Your SD card should already be R/W. It sounds like you're trying to push the file to system.

There are plenty of mirrors to the factory images on XDA you just have to search for them.
After you find factory images if you can't figure out how to ADB Push, try reading how to fastboot flash.

Glad you got it fixed. You should post the steps you used for the next person who does this.
This might sound stupid to some but when I am using Fireflash.. it comes up in red letters that Im not on 7.2.3 (expected that) so I therefore tick the flash box. I then add the boot partition in and the recovery partition but do I need to add the zip file at the bottom? I have downloaded the correct zip file just not sure if it's needed yet.
thanks

You can, but you will lose data. Flash it if you cant boot.

No, installing the 2nd bootloader and twrp themselves does not erase anything, you can still use the stock rom.

1) Click menu -> settings -> apps
2) swipe over to the "All" category
3) scroll down and look for Google Services Framework and click it
4) click "clear cache" and "clear data"
5) go to phone dialer
6) type in: *#*#2432546#*#* (*#*#CHECKIN#*#*)
7) wait for the notification "checkin succeeded" (might take about 10-15 seconds)
8) Now go and try checking for your update.
There are apps to backup data which people have notated to you but I am confused as to why people have these issues. My data and apps restore when I load up a new rom and lets be honest I prefer a clean slate to start with at times. Makes sure your bugs are true bugs.
Flash 4.3(Any rom)
Google restore apps and data on boot
Install TB
Restore only apps you need data restored
Enjoy!
in the flash-all.bat (Windows) or flash-all.sh (Linux/Mac) file, you could remove the -w flag and this won't wipe your data when you install via the factory image using Fastboot.
Instructions below. I don't know for sure if this will work with a custom kernel, it should work with a stock rooted ROM though that has the stock recovery.

What are your steps for install? If it's happening across three ROMs, I would be willing to say it might be the install procedures. With most stock ROMs, you need to mount system. Most AOSP ROMs have a mount script included. Do your wipes, reboot recovery, and mount system. Then flash.

I would try to reboot recovery and then mount system. Some people have found that system doesn't actually mount if you don't reboot, even though it shows it is.

Hi folks,
Yesterday i did some real crap... I switched from cwm to twrp, all fine. Then i wanted to flash cm 10.2 and i choose "Format data" in twrp. After typing "yes" i realizied i wiped EVERYTHING... I lost my cm 10.2 ZIP i just wanted to flash, my nandroids etc... Ok **** happens.
I sideloaded the cm 10.2 ZIP to get a working Android OS again. All seemed fine, except i lost all my data...
But last night i wanted to flash a New kernel and i tried to do a backup first. But now i can only choose "internal storage" With about 1,2 gig free space.
Did i lost my mounting point or something? I can access /sdcard with twrp file manager and i can flash zips from sdcard but i cannot choose sdcard as backup location. Also i cannot choose format sdcard (obviously )
What can i do to fix that? Do i have to flash stock userdata.IMG?
Btw here is my recovery log: recovery.log
Choosing "copy recovery log to SD card" works fine...
Thanks!

Thank you! Can i skip recovery.IMG to avoid loosing twrp?
Is there no other way to recover my sdcard "mount"? From what i unterstand is that i deleted my symlink or something like that. I tried fdisk -l in console but i get nothing. I took a look at recovery. / storage.fstab and it seems OK. Maybe there is a wrong / missing Entry?

You can remove the recovery from the zip file from where the flash all script is and also remove the name of the recovery in that text file.
Don't worry about that, the flash will fix it anyway.
