Error on Install of Kit Kat 4.4 - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys. I'm having trouble installing Kit Kat via OTA. I haven't received the notification that it was ready but when I clicked Check now in System updates yesterday, it popped up but it said it was only available through WiFi until today. Now my WiFi connection is slow so I manually changed the date in order to download it through 4G LTE. After it downloaded, I hit the Reboot and Install button and it went into Recovery to install only to stop about halfway through and change the Android from standing up to laying down with a Red Triangle above his stomach and it said Error. I rebooted my phone and was back to where I was on 4.3 so I proceeded to try and download the update again this time the date went ahead another day (27th) and again only through WiFi until then, so anyway I tried again and still the same error. I'm on Stock 4.3 with Stock Recovery, unlocked Bootloader and Rooted. Note that I was on the latest TWRP but I flashed the Stock Recovery from the thread that says how to get back to stock everything before attempting this. Any help will do, thanks.

Is your bootloader still unlocked? If so try to relock it. Your best bet might be downloading the stock zip file and flashing it through twrp.

Yeah it's still unlocked but guess what, it's too late for me to try to lock it and try again because I just checked under System updates and it's no longer there even when I click Check now, SMH LOL this is weird man. I guess I'll try flashing the stock zip, but aren't there people experiencing errors when they flash it through a custom recovery?

That's what I did with my girlfriend's nexus 4. You might just be better off flashing a rooted zip. It's totally up to you though. Just depends on if you want root

It will. 4.3 isn't fully compatible with the LTE enabled, older radio. People are messing with hybrid radios to fix the incompatibility issues, but that's still a work in process i.e. bugs.

My OTA update said 4.3 was ready to install, but when I clicked install nothing seemed to happen. I am rooted and have TWRP installed as my recovery. Any suggestions?
And now when I check for an update, my phone says I'm up to date but I'm still on 4.2.2.

You have to do it manually by use fastboot method. OTA is not gonna work when you flash the TWRP as your Recovery.
2 method: 1. fastboot flash your recovery back to stock one OTA will work. 2. Flash your N4 with fastboot to get 4.3 ROM.
I went back to the stock 4.2.2 rom and I'm not rooted anymore, but now the stock recovery doesn't work. So how can I update to 4.3?

Only thing I can suggest is make sure you have USB debugging enabled and make sure you have the correct drivers installed. It's probably best to ask in the thread of the toolkit you're using, I haven't tried many toolkits but wugs has a pretty good walk thru for driver installation http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475

I followed the instructions in the thread below for 'Already updated to 4.3 and have an OTA notificaion? (JWR66Y from JWR66V)'.
I unrooted, flashed the update zip in recovery and immediately after flashed the superuser zip and all was fine.

That's why you flash a stock rooted MF9 ROM if you want to be on the latest and rooted.

S4 rebooting as soon as I boot it!?
Hi!
So I followed Djembeys guide to root my s4 back when ME2/MF2(or smthn in that matter)was the newest firmware avable. But now I wanted to go back to stock and update my phone and as stated in the guide that would be no problem, well OTA didn't work so i did it via Kies. It worked as expected for a while before my phone started freezing and rebooting itself forever, like as soon as i get into the launcher.
Things I've tryed to do:
*Checking in download mode that everything is official, it is, and the phone doesn't seem to reboot while in download mode, should I flash a stock rom, I mean, what if the phone shuts off in the middle of the process?
*Doing a factory data reset via stock recovery, the "android" in recovery falls down and a triangle at his stomach. However the data reset worked, but it didn't solve the problem, still reboots but now when the phone is trying to set itself up.
What can i do guys? You think i can send it back to the store seeing everything is official in download mode?

First one to help me wins a thousand dollars...

I am rooted on a mdk build. I was previously rooted and had twrp custom recovery. Ran bunch of roms then kinda got tired of messing around and always having to do a full wipe in order to try different roms so I uprooted and went back to stock completely.
It hasn't been a week and I already decided to go back to root and throw on a different rom. I rooted again, but am having a lot of trouble installing twrp and clockwork recoveries.
When I try goomanager I come to the screen to install the recovery and I get a "webpage not available" every time. When I try to do it manually I get a fail message. I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong.
Through clockwork, I install the recovery, and it tells me that it was installed successfully. I try to access it and I get the Verizon error message saying that unauthorized software was found and to shut the phone off and bring it to nearest vzw, Yea Ok!
So I'm lost at this point, anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Best way out of this.
Install CyanogenMod Installer on your desktop and plug your phone in. It will install cwm and custom rooted phone. As simple as that.
I did the same as you and this I found really easy and fast

Don't use goomamager. Try this. Sorry looked through your first post again.
Download a cwm recovery, go to recovery and flash it through there. If that doesn't work then see if you can find a 'flashable in Odin' ROM that confess with CWM that comes with it. Try that. That will definitely work.
Sent from my GT-I9505G using Tapatalk
I would have done that but when I try and get in the stock recovery, I get the Verizon error messaging saying unsupported software. I can't get into stock recovery at all.

Odin the stock firmware and start all over. Root, then use rom manager or goo manager to put in the custom recovery. Then get rid of the manager.

Hello, at&t has pulled the update due to glitches. Some people reported that their phones wouldn't even turn on. Also you can't update your at&t galaxy s4 on Kies because at&t put a block on that... The reason they did that is so they can add all of their NSA crapware to your phone and lock it so you can't modify it as easy. If you really want 4.3 I would install a custom ROM. I'm still on 4.2.2 rooted. 4.3 isn't all that good anyway. Nothing new.

I did the same thing as you set it to 2015 and it let me look for updates, but it says update interrupted. Idk why but yeah. Maybe because I'm rooted idk. I wasn't updating anyway until a root method came out for mk2. Hopefully you can get it. If not take it to Best Buy and they can hook you up.

i just checked mine and it still says i have to wait over 24hrs, so even tho my time and date are back to normal the update software still picks up when i fast forwarded my time/date. just a thought here, but i think the only way to reset that could be to flash back to stock with odin, but you would lose all data doing this. so its either probably doing that or keep trying to fast forward your time and checking.
