I have root and had Safestrap installed. I tried to install the OTA update and it downloads fine, but when it goes to update, it errors out at 25%. So I removed Safestrap and tried again. No dice.
I finally tried sideloading it, and everything goes well until it actually goes to install. It errors out when checking and points to a "NfcNci.apk" file as the culprit. I think I did use the Verizon Google Wallet version to get the tap-to-pay feature to work, which may have given me a new file.
Does anyone have a stock, AT&T NfcNci.apk file they could send me? I'd hate to reflash with Odin.
Thanks!

You could possibly just extract that APK from the ODIN files and get it that way without doing the ODIN flash.

Ohhh, good idea. As simple as just downloading the ODIN zip, open it like a zip and extract?

Extracting APKs from regular TAR files takes a bit more. The best thing to do is Google "how to extract an apk from a tar" and do some reading. However, I'm not sure about the MF3 ODIN file, it appears segmented. The only thing I can suggest is to dl it and see if you can get the apk easily or not. Good luck.

I've been spending a few hours trying to fix this - when upgrading from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 either OTA or via sideloading through ADB I get an error saying "assert(apply_patch_check("/system/app/PlusOne.apk" has failed and I am unable to complete upgrade.
I tried downloading 4 different plusone.apk's and none have rectified this problem. I also tried removing the check for plusone.apk from the updater script and re-zipping the files to no avail.
Can anyone help? Either with a correct PlusOne.apk I can put in system/app or by explaining what I can do to update without resettingback to factory first?
I am on 4.1.1, JRO03D. I converted PlusOne into a user app after I got the nexus using TB and have since converted it back to a system app and placed various PlusOne.apk's in the system/app folder.
I APPRECIATE ANY HELP!!!

not sure if I will be a big help, but try to download the 4.1.2 OTA upgrade, and put in N7, then hoping you have CWM if not, just install Clockwork recovery if you have not done so, then boot in clockwork recovery, once you are clockwork recovery, make sure "signature check" is disabled, and install from zip option, point where you put 4.1.2 OTA upgrade file, and then reboot.
I am thinking that error you get most likely signature check since you converted to user app and then converted back to system app.
If you have removed any system apps the upgrade will fail.
Download this and flash from custom recovery

I am trying to do it through CWM now... if I try the second option, downloading and flashing from the file will I lose all my data and apps, correct? I am trying to avoid having to restore everything.
Thank you both for your help!

Just tried this with signature verification disabled and still get the error about "assert failed: apply_patch_check yada yada yada PlusOne.apk"
If you replaced the .apk, did you try removing (after backing up) the .odex?

This worked!!! I downloaded the version with the code removed to check files that had been failing me on google +. Thank you very much!
I had the same issue and just like zdeno888 got it solved by the right package... on the url above INSIDE one of the messages there's a modified version without verification scripting.
THIS IS NOT THE VERSION POSTED ON THE FIRST POST!
i am running stock but rooted and unlocked. when i did the unlock or root it installed a basic version on cwm, i think a custom one someone had created for the nexus 7.
i cannot get this sorted. first i managed to get the ota by clearing the google framework data a few times until it offered but it the failed to install saying something about 'failed to verify whole-file signature'
due to this i downloaded the zip i found on, i think, androidpolice and booted to recovery. that failure said something like 'assert failed:apply-patch-check gmail.apk'
i then found on this thread -

The OP from that thread took down the link, the only one in his post is now the same zip you already had.
This is the file with checks disabled.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/isqpvb0w26kqjdx/4.1.2edited.zip
Use with caution tho, only flash this is stock rom and kernel.
great, that sorted it so thanks very much.
i presume you have done the update, apart from the rotation are you finding much difference?
Little to none
Most changes in this one were under the hood, as they say.
Hi, any help resolving this would be really appreciated. I have updated my Nexus 4 to Android 4.3 by installing through CWM. The upgrade worked fine however I cannot flash the SuperSU zip afterwards. I am using the experimental version released specifically for 4.3 however I just get the message: unable to open 'file', installation aborted (bad). I have tried to redownload in case it was a corrupt zip but I just get the same result. I have also tried reflashing 4.3 but this doesn't make a difference either.The old SuperSU is still installed but states that it has no binaries if I try to open it.
Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere but I have been searching all evening for a solution.

Did you try flashing the latest supersu? I've flashed this one https://www.dropbox.com/s/p97y9pn4tie9iyi/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.43.zip pressed "go back" when recovery asked to fix recovery or something like that and it works just fine
Ah, The version I have is 1.41 not 1.43, although I guess I downloaded from an older post in the blog. Thank you, hopefully that will work.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Unfortunately this still hasn't worked, I have tried v1.43 of SuperSU, still failes. I have also changed my recovery from CWM to TWRP but this also fails to flash SuperSU v1.43 with the same error. Any other suggestions?
I think I have resolved this now, I had to sideload the SuperSU file on instead, so far so good.
Thanks.

I have the same issue. I also notice root explorer can't look inside zip files. It seems like whatever custom recoveries and other apps use to extract zip files is busted/removed after our 4.3 update. Is this a busybox issue? Side loading might use extraction tools on the computer instead?
I resolved this too. It turned out the super SU zip file I had grabbed for 1.43 wasn't the normal CWM/TWRP recovery package. When I looked at the zip file on my computer I noticed it contained another compressed file. I waited a few days root-less and then noticed that super SU 1.51 had been released. I used this file and it worked like it should have the first time. This package looks like the normal recovery flashable file, with the manifest and directory structure it should have. So either I grabbed the wrong file or there was a moment in time when the chainfire's site was dishing out bad files.
Glad it's working now, root is restored.

Can you elaborate, as to what exactly you did to restore the root?
In typical amateur fashion, I managed to remove root access from my previously rooted I337 running LiquidSmooth 2.9. I was thinking it wouldn't be difficult to "switch it on or off". Evidently, not the case! Tried Casual and motochopper, but failed to gain root again. I've been searching my butt off, but can't seem to find the right advice. Do I need to go back to stock and start all over again? Suggestions? Let me know if I need to provide more details about my configuration. Thanks!
I assume you have an i337 on mdl. I'd try to download super su form the play store and install that. It may work. Otherwise you might have to start all over.

One other thing I'd try is flash supersu-busybox in your recovery, twrp or cwm. It's a zip file. Not sure if that would work on your device though.

I am in need of the apk's for the stock touchwiz and at&t bloatware applications if anybody rooted on the stock software can copy these for me I would be very grateful. I am on mf3 so I can't flash an ota recovery with all of the software on it.
I did a little searching and couldn't seem to find the apk's to sideload these back onto my device.

Try this. You should be able to download and unzip it and pick what you want. Not sure about the odex/deodex though.

You can look in the post linked by ~wolverine~ or just download a stock ROM from the dev section.

You can't flash anything from MF3. So the DR App Machine won't work either. That and a stock ROM are just sources of apks that you will have to copy and paste. Use extreme caution since there is no MF3 firmware available for you to flash with Odin should you get in trouble.
Don't try to flash the DR app machine. Unzip it and install the apk's inside of it just like you would any other apk. Just keep in mind if something goes wrong your screwed. Proceed with caution.

thats what i did, worked fine. anybody know how to take off superuser? im trying to leave no traces
Received the OTA update on my rooted/TWRP'd N7. Clicking on download and install takes me to TWRP Recovery. I cannot find the update file anywhere. If I reboot, the file is right there in my download folder. If I move it to the folder that contains files visible in TWRP recovery flash folder, it still doesn't appear.
I have read threads about updating without unrooting but remain confused.
Is there a way to accomplish this, and if so, do any of you have links that would take me to "how-to" instructions?

I zipped the file and yes, TWRP accessed it. Flashing resulted in failure, however.
To add insult, my tablet alerts me to the availability of the update every 2nd/3rd day, prompting me to download it again. If I do that, I'm taken to the "install" page. Attempting to install takes me back to TWRP, where the flash fails. Round and round I go......
