My phone is rooted on stock 4.1.2 with a locked bootloader. I have deleted some system apps and I do have lots of xposed modules running. I downloaded the kit kat update but it doesn't install. When I turn off my phone and boot it back up it only works for about 30 seconds then shuts down and goes back to this screen.

Hey guys,
I'm on stock but with root. My phone doesn't reboot after the OTA update. Is this because I'm rooted?
Just to clarify - it's the system update app that doesn't work. It counts down to 0, then... nothing. Phone is usable, the updater doesn't reboot to update.
Same happened to mine (not rooted) I had to flash back to 4.2.1 and wipe data/cache to get my phone to start up. Then it ran the system update again and got stuck in the same loop. I'm sticking with 4.2.1 for now.

Just flash the whole 4.2.2 rom from here https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/occam-jdq39-factory-345dc199.tgz and reroot.

I did that, and go the same loop as when I did the OTA; I had to go find an archive of the 4.2.1 ROM and flash that to get it to start up (even flashing many times and wiping user/cache).
I'm going to try sideloading the 4.2.2 update when I have time
Thanks, I'll try that zip. Just to clarify - my phone isn't even installing the update. It's not stuck on the black Reboot screen, it's stuck on the countdown screen where you tap REBOOT & INSTALL. So essentially the phone is usable.. the updater just doesn't seem to work

That's not where mine is stuck, mine won't boot past the X logo
My Nexus 7 won't go past the "rebooting now" too. The tablet is usable but it never finishes the update. I have power cycled and started over but no luck. Is there a way to clear the update cache so it re-downloads the update?

Hiya! Did you ever find an answer?
I'm on 4.2.2 stock system for sph-l720, rooted, used triangle away and tried to get update 4.3 to install.
***Do I need to unroot to get samsung/sprint updates? The update keeps appearing but all progress from "android system update" stops after download verified, then the "rebooting now" step goes forever. Like OP, phone works fine, just wanted to update so I get best of newer apps, then back to customizing :fingers-crossed:
I was using my rooted nexus 4 with bootloader locked and stock recovery and my phone notified me that I was due for a system update, even though I was already running Android 4.3. I thought this may be a supersmall release with minor bugfixes as the file was only 1.8MB. I pressed restart and install and the phone restarted and showed an Android lying down with a exclamation mark on top, like you see in recovery, except it said "error" beneath the Android. The phone restarted in about 10 seconds and said "Android is Upgrading. Optimizing apps 1 of 88" and so on.
It is working normally now and not prompting to update, but I want to un-root bcuz I am not enjoying root and I want to flash the factory image of Android 4.3. Please help me unroot, solve this problem and uninstall busybox
I don't understand. How can you 'not enjoy root'.
Do you even know what root does and the options it gives you?!

I successfully rooted my phone and was about to delete the annoying OTA Update notification but my palm accidentally hit the install when it popped up again... and the my phone just immediately rebooted and it's in recovery mode trying to install the update. I removed the battery right away but every time I put it back in, it shows that Android mascot trying to install and update... I DO NOT WANT KITKAT!! How can I get out of that when booting up or am I doomed in having that install all the way through and I have to use ODIN to flash Jellybean??

I just had the exact same thing happen. Wasn't paying attention when the update popped up. I immediately pulled my battery as well and everytime I try to boot the phone back up it tries to install the Kitkat update. I don't want to upgrade to KK either, I'm perfectly happy on Eclipse. Anyone have any suggestions as what we can do to fix this problem?
TL;DR - Installed bean's rooted kit kat, new safestrap, and Eclipse ROM 2.0.1. Phone essentially freezes when prompted to shut off or reboot and gets stuck there indefinitely. I also cannot install any apps via the play store reliably from Eclipse.
Hello everyone! I'm fairly new to rooting/flashing roms, and last night I used Bean's rooted kit kat to upgrade my N3 from 4.3 to 4.4. I went with de-odexed because from what I understood it was easier to change themes and whatnot that way (again, forgive me if I'm wrong, still new to all of this). Everything went great, I installed to stock rom slot, Odin detected my phone in DL mode, I installed the new firmware, it updated and loaded all the apps just fine, and I installed the new safestrap.
There was a problem however... Whenever I go to turn off or reboot the phone, the "shutting down" dialogue box comes up and it just gets stuck there. I timed it for about 20 minutes before finally just pulling the battery. It does this everytime I need to reboot the phone and I always have to end up pulling the battery.
EDIT: As of this morning the stock rom appears to no longer be having the reboot issue. My guess is that is just a bug in a Eclipse at this point.
Thinking it might be just a weird bug, I made a partition in ROM slot 2 (ROM slot 1 was where my 4.3 was and I hadn't deleted it yet) and installed Eclipse 2.0.1. When I booted into it and logged into my Google account to recover all my apps like I did just did with the stock rom slot, all the apps que'd up, but nothing showed as installing. I thought that maybe I had kinda just overwhelmed the phone with downloads and went into the play store to stop the que. I started installing about 3 apps at a time to see if it worked better, and I ran into the same issue. Usually when you click "install" on an app, it will show the download process and then start installing to your phone. Mine goes straight to install and gets stuck on an endless loading bar, with no way to cancel or stop it without a reboot.
Rebooting is also having the same issue as before. I cannot shut off or restart the device without it locking into the shutting down dialogue box.
1. Did installing a de-odexed version cause any problems that I wouldn't have had with an odexed?
2. If so, I can follow the same methods I did to install bean's kit kat and reinstall the odexed version? Or would I have to somehow go back to 4.3 first?
3. Are there any other known fixes I should try?

I read your post a couple times and I think you may be using the wrong Safestrap. I could be wrong.
Use stable Safestrap 3.65 for jellybean roms and Safestrap 3.72 or 3.75 for nc2/nc4 roms.
I'm running Eclipse 2.0.1 on Safestrap 3.75 right now and have zero reboot problems.

Yup! This was it. I installed 3.75 and re-flashed. I feel slightly dumb for not thinking of that but I'm so happy to have a functional phone again. Thank you very much!

my wife's nexus 4, is stock, not rooted.
she accepted the lollipop upgrade that came... and since then her phone is stuck at installing system update for past few hours.
I have tried to restart the phone by holding onto power button for a while... it restarts and then gets stuck back at installing system upgrade.
Any suggestions?

Have you taken the data backup? If so try factory data reset. Also try downloading lollipop factory images and install.
Ok.. after few more restarts. . Going to the recovery menu and more restarts. .. the system once went ahead into boot animation... and then update worked from there on.
Not sure why it did not work before or why it worked after 10+ restarts. But my wife was so glad that she did not have to loose all pics and whatsapp messages.
Thanks for ur suggestion thought.
