[Q] Nexus4: 4.2.2 won't install for me.

So I have tried a few things now. One was dialing *#*#checkin#*#* and then getting the update OTA, but when the phone rebooted to update it went into CWM recovery and asked for a confirmation (which I gave it), and then it came up with an error. I then tried doing it manually by downloading the zip from several different sources thinking maybe the file was bad. I had no luck with this either. Then as a final resort, I made a clockwork backup and then flashed stock kernel and did a factory reset on the phone and tried installing the zip. I got the SAME error. I'm pretty tech savvy but when it gets into codes and stuff I'm stuck. Can anybody tell me what this message means?

Sounds like you're running a custom kernel. Flash stock

I did. I flashed stock kernel then did a full wipe of the phone to factory settings and it still wouldn't install which I think is really weird.

Can't boot after flash Android 4.4 with TWRP

I did with the help of this theard:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145848
Code:
1) Download the OTA.zip and copy to your phone.
2) Boot into recovery.
3) Flash the OTA just like you would a ROM.
4) Reboot.
Then I flash it with TWRP 2.6.3.0
After flashing I got this message:
Code:
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E: Error executing updater binary in zip "filename"
E: Error installing zip file 'filename'
I tried Dalvik/Cache wipe but it didn't help.
Now I can't boot into Android, it show GOOGLE and then blank screen
I can go to TWRP but when I try to use ADB sideload to connect with my computer, I get this message:
Code:
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E: Error executing updater binary in zip "inner.zip"
E: Error installing zip file 'inner.zip'
I don't have any rom in SDcard but the file "signed-occam-KRT16S-from-JWR66Y"
May anybody help me with this problem, please
In the worst case, where can I fix my phone with fee

Any changes to the /system partition or by rooting can cause OTA to fail. Flashing OTA is only recommended to a pure untouched stock rom.

why dont you just search your issue and for fixes... Put your phone in recovery and use adb to push over a rom. I dont want to be the bad guy here but why flash an OTA zip if you are already rooted just flash a stock rom. So many of you make things so much harder for yourself than it has to be.
Sorry for bashing you but you also should always keep a nandroid on your phone. Do some research or try what I suggested and good luck but for future reference be mindful of what may happen if things go wrong

I used OTA because I didn't want to reset my phone. I know it was stupid
I read some topic and they said my problem is TWRP 2.3.6 isn't compatible with android 4.4
(I should use CWM is).
I think now I have some think like android 4.4 in my phone but it can't boot
The problem now is I can go to recovery but can't usse adb to push a rom.
I tried some search but there was no help

[HELP] Wiped and erased phone in CWRM, ROM installation aborted

So I was an idiot and used a ROM found on xdadevelopers and each time I try to flash the ROM in CWRM it says installation aborted. I wiped and erased the phone before doing this.Basically i'm stuck with my Nexus 4 in CWRM without a ROM installed or a ROM that can be flashed without an errors. Is there a way to side-load a rom or access the phone in CWRM to add a new rom?
The rom is the one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2516389
Help is much appreciated, thanks.

Two choices (of many) but first, try flashing twrp, then try the rom. Or re-flash cwm and try again.

At first try flashing latest twrp img from fastboot mode and then try flashing the rom again.
You might want to give a try to the multi-rom twrp.
If it fails again you can always flash factory img.

Flash factory image, meaning restore the phone back to stock and removing the root/bootloader?
Right now that sounds more appealing to me than trying to figure all of this our to be honest.

Is it safe to assume that you did a factory reset before you tried to flash? Might be a bad download as well. I would not change the name. Also you might try flashing twrp also.

Yes I definitely did a factory reset and cleared cache and dalvik-cache but I haven't tried TWRP because of recovery software preference.

Nothing wrong with that. I had to switch to TWRP when I was doing a nandroid backup and with cwm, it doesn't check to see if you have enough space, it just goes on and then I had a problem on my hands.
Also you will, or might come across a rom that doesn't get along with cwm. Anyway, that's another topic.
Try a full wipe, including the system partition along with the others.

I had gotten the same problem with you! Try flash back to cwm 6.0.4.6 via zip file and flash KOT49H again, you will be successful^^

I have used the latest TWRP to flash many custom ROMs and it has always worked for me.

I've flashed TWRP and had no trouble flashing the ROM. Thanks for the help and I may just try CWM 6.0.4.6 to discover if it's functional and probably switch back to CWM.

[Q] XT907 Problems with Clockwork Recovery installing Cyanogenmod

I recently rooted my Droid Razr M XT907 and have had nothing but problems. Before rooting, I was on 4.4.2. I used the Towelroot app to root my phone, Root Checker to verify root, and Motopocalypse to unlock my bootloader. I tried to flash a custom recovery and I could not boot into recovery. I also tried to flash a new logo to get rid of the bootloader unlocked warning screen. Apparently I flashed a corrupted file because it caused my phone not to turn on right and I had to go straight to the boot menu and AP fastboot to flash stock 4.4.2 for my phone. I then proceeded to root my phone again, and start over(except I didn't have to unlock my bootloader again). After another few hours, I finally got CWM Recovery v6.0.4.8 installed on my phone. I tried to wipe data/factory reset and it did this:
- - Wiping data. . .
Formatting /data. . .
Error mounting /data!
Skipping format. . .
Formatting /cache. . .
Formatting /sd-ext. . .
E: unkown volume for path [/sd-ext]
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping format. . .
Data wipe complete.
I am pretty sure that it did not format. I tried goint to mounts and storage menu and mounting /data there and it said:
Error mounting /data!
Thinking it was not a big deal, I proceeded to try and install zip from the external sd card. I went to Install Zip > Choose zip from /storage/sdcard1 and selected the zip I had on there called "cm- 11 -20140218-NIGHTLY-xt907.zip" and this is what it gave me:
- - Installing: /storage/sdcard1/cm- 11-20140218-NIGHTLY-xt907.zip

I'm not techy so don't know what exactly is going on, but I advise dealing with the mount problems before you proceed to flashing CM. If flashing stock again via RSD won't fix this, I assume your /data partition is faulty.

First, you need to update your recovery. > http://goo.gl/7pDg47
Second, your trying to flash an outdated ROM that wont work on the updated KK bootloader. Go to the CM thread and download the correct version for your device. > http://goo.gl/Jx8EOu
Custom boot logos > http://goo.gl/fgOCNb

@ATTACK
Should I stick with CWM or switch to TWRP? Or is it just personal preference? Also, should I reflash stock and try again or just start reflashing the recovery and new ROM? The logo is lowest on my priority list btw.
Edit: So wait, is the Razr M XT907 a part of the Moto_MSM8960 devices? I could just install that like I would the other one?

Yup, it's personal preference. I prefer TWRP but just use whatever your comfortable with.
I see no need to go stock, just flash the new recovery then the ROM. And yes, all the moto_msm8960 devices have been unified, this includes the xt907. Just make sure you use the KK bootloader compatible version.

OK. I downloaded a new custom recovery (I switched to TWRP since is was all touch based and I somehow broke the volume buttons on my last android). I then downloaded the newest CM and flashed it and the GAPPS. Everything works great. I even flashed a custom logo (the batman one). Thank you.

OK, someone please help, got everything else working, except data. I can't get mobile data working. I just want to know if there is anything I can do.

Flashed back to stock. Still no data. Any other suggestions?
Edit: Nevermind, started working on stock after I flashed a new radio and reflashed stock. Going to try to install cm when I get home and hope it works

I reflashed stock, and data worked. I flashed CM11, and it didn't. I reflashed stock, and it worked again. I searched the problem online, again. I somehow found a site that I missed when I searched it the first few times. The site provided a fix that involved flashing cm11, gapps, and another zip. I tried it and it worked. For anyone who is having the same or similar problem, the link is below. Thank you ATTACK for all of the help and Deante Flood for making the zip that I flashed that made the data work again.
