I just received the OTA update of 4.4.2 so I wanted to know what exactly I have to do to update without any errors. I'm Rooted on Stock 4.4 with unlocked Bootloader and Custom Recovery TWRP and also I have the LTE hack enabled. Do I just fastboot flash stock recovery and let it update through OTA or do I have to push the original build.prop from 4.4 too because of the LTE hack? I really don't want to factory reset because I had to do that before in order to update from 4.3 to 4.4. Thanks in advance guys.

I literally just flashed from 4.4 to 4.4.2 by flashing the entire factory image. I didn't lose any data. Same boat as you, rooted and using TWRP with LTE hack.

Downloaded the 435mb OCCAM KOT49H factory image from google? Then you put the entire .zip on the sdcard and flash it through twrp? Is that it?
I'm rooted and have twrp also, but i don't know if i can just flash the full factory image. I want to be stock and rooted!
Thank you!
EDIT: Sorry, i have found the solution in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145848
I didn't know you could download these files and use them as "manual OTA update"..
Thanks again

Not everything is 4.2 Stock I'm using Frank- kernel not the Stock one
don't have the stock one anyone more
also I am updated Sound to beats Auto Mod
Checked the boot Video to a Custom one .
Okay FIxed using N-Cry tool kit it will wipe everything so back up before hand
seriously? flashing stock 4.3 over stock 4.2.2 but with some mods will not work?
I understood it was possible but flashing instead doing OTA. is it true?
This is one of the reasons why I stay unrooted as I get OTA updates without hassle and without losing any data. No need to flash or backup anything.
No risk of bricking the phone.

LOL.. :silly::silly::silly::silly::silly:
I recently realized that I use no root requiring apps or custom ROMs on my Nexus 7(while I keep my phone rooted for many a reason). Now that I hear the 4.4 update is being pushed, it occurs to me that all keeping a custom recovery and root on my tablet does is complicate updates. So I want to unroot, return my recovery to the stock, and get myself all ready to wait for the update to push out. What would be the best way to do this that does not require me to lose data/game saves/have to reset everything up?
Fastboot flash the stock recovery and don't worry about su because the ota will take care of that.

I am sure this has been answered somewhere and I did search the forum before posting but right now i am pretty excited about 4.4 and would like the experts to answer this regarding grouper :-
I got the 4.3 update OTA on a rooted 4.2. I later rooted the 4.3 but did not remove any default apps. I also have frano kernel installed and TWRP recovery. Does the kernel and custom recovery affect the OTA process? Am i safe for 4.4 OTA? or shall i unroot, install stock kernel and also stock recovery?
Thanks
You should be fine if you install the stock recovery before the OTA arrives
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Open the SuperSU app on your device.. Go to the app settings and select the option to unroot/clean up.. Reboot. That is all.

Yes, you'll want the stock kernel and stock recovery installed.
On grouper, it can update independent of changes you have made to the system and recovery. This isn't true for all other nexus devices, for example, mako. Doing the 4.4 update will get rid of root for you, but it will flash fine even if you have a custom recovery. You may need to flash stock recovery manually if you don't want custom recovery anymore.

In the past, that has failed for me. I'm still one update behind on 4.3 because it would not install and I was too lazy previously to unroot and get it to install.

Do you know where I can find the recovery itself? Only ones I find in my searching are TWRP and Clockwork.

Did you ever find the stock recovery? I'm looking to unroot without losing my app data..
PS, sorry for bringing this back from the dead, but it is exactly what I am looking for.
For whatever reason can't get the update to flash. I'm stock jwr66y except I have twrp and root. Is there a straight stock rooted rom for grouper yet or an I Sol?

Anyone?

You can't flash the OTA if you're rooted I believe. Try to unroot. If that doesn't work, maybe flashing the system.img from the extracted JWR66Y factory image might work.
If you want 4.4 asap, go back to stock 4.3.
Custom 4.4 roms will be available after Google releases the stock images.

You can flash it if you are rooted, you will only loose root. But it is so easy to root afterwards, just flash SU from recovery....
I couldn't get it to flash over the top of a rooted stock 4.3 rom.
In the end I used wug's toolkit to flash an unrooted stock 4.3 image (the toolkit does all the work for you, even downloading the stock image), then flashed the 4.4 zip over the top, again using wug's toolkit.
to be honest its a bit disappointing as there's no option to enable ART in developer options and no translucent notification bar/nav bar.
looks and feels exactly the same as it did with 4.3 (it's showing as 4.4. under 'about tablet').

I couldn't flash it with twrp, either. Switch to the latest cwm and try again. Worked for me.
My install failed at the end, while setting permissions, if I remember well. You could try to flash boot.img and system.img from the jwr66y factory image, just to be sure.
where is the ota. everyones talking about it,but, it aint even released on googles site???FRAUDS.

What I meant was if one is not using stock recovery and rom, will not get the official OTA update.

Thats 100% official. If you check the link, its straight from Google's OTA server.

That's not a full factory image, just the OTA image. I'm not in a hurry for any of this anyway. I'd rather just wait for a full stock rooted 4.4 ROM, whenever that's cobbled together. If it's not broken, don't attempt to fix.

Did you do a full-wipe? If not, that's where I would start. If you did a full wipe, I would then clear cache. Also,could be a bad flash or download.

Were you using official KitKat? Maybe you'll have to flash 4.3 factory images. Just don't flash user data or recovery. You can boot to TWRP and wipe. Them you don't lose everything on your phone.
Did you make a backup?

Yes I was on official fact. image KK. I am now trying to flash 4.3 stock and unroot. Then root again. Maybe that helps.
KK radio/boot doesn't play nice with 4.3. I think you could've flashed an older radio and go 4.3.

Yes. The .84 or earlier are fine for 4.3. I use a hybrid to enable LTE for T-mobile US.
Hello, today i received the 5.1 ota for my nexus 4 (android 5.0.1 rooted/stock kernel/twrp recovery)
But update.zip cannot be flashed and i get an error telling me: Package expects build fingerprint of google occam mako 5.0.1 or 5.1 user/release-keys. This device has occam/mako 4.3.
I dont want to flash 5.1 manually (i know how to do it).
Thanks in advance

This is because you are using a custom recovery. OTA update will never work if you are using a custom recovery. Meaning you have to be completely stock to receive the ota update.
I downloaded and flashed stock recovery. I ll try again.
It still gives me an error.
