[Q] Nexus 4 OTA 4.3 update getting

Sorry for the noob questions but I tried to update my Nexus 4 currently rooted with 4.2.2 and Franco Kernel and I'm getting the error message "Installation Aborted". Do I need to unroot my phone in order to update to the 4.3 OTA?

Everything needs to be stock for the ota update.

Is is possible to go back to stock without losing all my data such as photos, messages, apps etc...?

What else did you change besides rooting it and installing Franco kernel?

Those were the only 2 modifications that I made. Would it possible to sideload 4.3 without having to return back to stock?

To install the ota, you can be rooted, but you have to root again. You have to be on the stock kernel and on stock recovery (for both how-tos can be found in the forums). Hopefully you didn't modification anything on the system ui or deinstalled some of the system apps, if you did you have to reflash a stock image, this can also be done without losing your data(how-to can be found in the forum), but In this case it would be easier to flash a 4.3 directly.
I'm sure you will manage your way. Good luck and happy reading :thumbup:

Franco kernel changes a lot of stuff, so u might get a bootloop. Just find the 4.2.2 stock kernel and flash of, then try to sideload the ota update.

Flashing 4.4 Roms, binary update failed?

Hello, I'm running twrp 2.6.3 and can't seem to flash to any 4.4 ROMs. I've tried cm11 and rastakat. It says failed after attempting to flash and says something about the binaries not updating. Is this solved simply by switching twrp versions and if so what would be the best way to do this? Thanks for any help

update your twrp to the latest

Gotcha. If I'm going to do that, I might as well use goo correct?

go to their thread or site. or.. there is a flashable in recovery version of the latest twrp floating around in the rastakat thread in original development floating around, you can probable search the thread for it

Google pushing a bugfix for Android 4.4 KitKit [KRT16S]

Hopefully it fixes some things which is keeping me from wanting to update.

Just got the update too here in UK.
I am rooted with twrp recovery. Can I just install this then re-root ? Or will twrp fail to install it. I have no access to my pc to go back to stock first.
Cheers.

It did not affect my recovery, only lost root.

I'm running the Flashed official 4.4 update with the stock kernel and the 4.4 boot loader with TWRP recovery... Would it be safe for me to perform the OTA?

I lost root and TWRP. WugFresh Toolkit brought it all back. Though, could be just a random event, but when it was suppose to boot to the bootloader the second time, it didn't. Had to start the process over. Worked fine after that.

I'm now going to make fun of you for using a toolkit to flash recovery and instal su on a nexus device.

I have no idea. Maybe the touchscreen was fixed because it feels pretty good to me. Before it was a little iffy.

can't update anymore

I recently flashed back to stock 4.2, and now I can not update to 4.3 or 4.4. I tried using OTA and flashing through CWM, but no updates will flash. Anyone run into this issue?

Just update ! It's all.

Guys,
Am on the latest version of PA rom on my Nexus 5, i.e pa_hammerhead-4.4-BETA1-20140603.
I want to now upgrade to the latest RC1, i.e pa_hammerhead-4.4-RC1-20140611.
How exactly do I do that? Just flash in recovery and move from PA 4.4.2 to PA 4.4.3? Or do i need to first update device 4.4.3 and then PA 4.4.3?
Or is a clean wipe and install enough?

Specifically, how do we update the the radio and boot loader before flashing the ROM. Are the updated 4.4,3 radios already included? Meaning I can just download the ROM via the PA OTA and flash? I am also on 4.4.2 last Beta mentioned above.

I am still on the D820 November 2013 radio. Should we update to the 4.4.3 radio dated May 7? What happens if we dont update the radio.

It doesn't matter. It's a choice of if you want to update or not.

So if I have the latest 4.4.2 PA ROM, I can just skip flashing the radios and bootloader and directly update to the 4.4.3 PA ROM?

I just did that and everything seems to work.

I updated my nexus 4 from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 and I have some problems with it. WIFI, notifications, home button doesn't work. Anyone have solutions for it? I don't want to wipe data.

So Im forced to do it.. It doesn't work because franco kernel don't have support for 4.4.3 or what?

You need a 4.4.3 kernel.
Before reporting bugs you should always try the rom as it ships. You should not report things when you have modified them with kernels or mods, xposed, etc
