So I have pulled and uploaded the update zip file to drive just in case anyone needs it.
And modified to get it working on twrp with Modified system but important core apps like systemui.apk need to be untouched though, no need to flash stock again, just normal flash via TWRP, worked on mine.
And some people were asking if it flashes default recovery or not, so the Answer is TWRP/CWM will stick.
And you will not lose root Access too

Default OTA zip
Explanation of how solve if still having problems as posted by @[email protected]
[email protected] said:
As OP said,
U only have to edit the updater-script file present under condor_4.4.4_TWRP_flashable.zip\META-INF\com\google\android in order to get the zip file working.
1. Copy the condor_4.4.4_TWRP_flashable.zip file that OP shared to your PC.
2. Now open this file using any zip handler like 7zip/winzip/winrar/windows explorer(if running windows8+), browse to the above location to find updater-script file, now extract /copy this on your PC.
3. Now select an option to edit this file using Notepad++ (step 4 on how/what to edit/change)
4. As per the TWRP error log, remove all the lines from the updater-script in particular to that error.
For Ex. if the error says:
/system/app/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk\" has unexpected contents.
then u need to remove the following line from the updater-script
apply_patch_check("/system/app/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk", "f4b9dc41f0d4691a2f9b71be06036c1de91c43ea", "d57f5cbc092e3e6cab286793da70ee7ffc4f440e") || abort("\"/system/app/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk\" has unexpected contents.");
assert(apply_patch("/system/app/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk", "-",
f4b9dc41f0d4691a2f9b71be06036c1de91c43ea, 160480,
d57f5cbc092e3e6cab286793da70ee7ffc4f440e, package_extract_file("patch/system/app/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk.p")));
5. Once u are done with all such, simply save the updater-script and copy this back to its location and select replace if asked.
6. Now save the condor_4.4.4_TWRP_flashable.zip and copy it back to Phone and try flashing now using TWRP.
hope it helps

Flash the attached recovery.img (after unzipping the archive) using fastboot or mfastboot.
This one is only for XT1022.
Okay, so tried to modify the updater script to get it working with TWRP but it won't work if you modified any system file by yourself because it verifies all the system files and then patches them, (I had modified many apks, so it didn't work.), tried to skip verification but then it failed during patch.
So you can try But it won't work for modified system. and must create a nandroid backup.
Use the attached updater script for TWRP.
Even Stock recovery won't work on modified system.
update works on rooted devices but there should be stock recovery
Rooted users can update their moto e but must have stock recovery. If you are facing problem with trwp recovery while updating it, then flash the stock recovery annd then try. It works
Hit thanx if helped

A while back I altered my build.prop file and accidently deleted it. I didn't make a backup so I restored it with one that someone posted and I haven't had any problems.
However since I did that, the OTA update that I got notified for did not install.
My boot loader is unlocked and I am rooted with stock recovery.
How can I update to 4.1.2 manually and still keep root?
I understand there are plenty of posts about this but everyone has a different problem and I'm just trying to get the correct information. Thanks for any help.

You will need the stock kernel and your /system partition must be completely unmodified. Bootloader state and recovery don't matter. After accepting an update you will lose your custom recovery and root, so you will have to reflash but that's no big deal.

You have to flash both system and boot, plus do a full data and cache wipe. As long as you do that and you don't let root apps modify files on your /system partition, the update should install fine. Also, keep in mind that when you get the OTA notification on your phone, you cannot just select "Restart and Install" if you have ClockworkMod recovery. OTAs will only auto flash if you have stock recovery. If you're using ClockworkMod recovery, you'll have to pull the OTA file out of your /cache folder and put it on internal storage somewhere, then flash it manually in ClockworkMod.

Correct. Just extract system.img and boot.img from the package you download, then plug your tablet into USB, boot it into the bootloader, and do the following two commands:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
If you want to wipe data, also do:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
That'll get you back to complete stock.
OK so were am I extracting these files to? Root of mysd card, desktop, etc? Thanks a bunch for your help btw I'm just not experienced at all with flashing outside of recovery or odin

Did you use the JOP40C factory images downloaded from the Google website somewhat recently? That error is caused when you flash the original set of JOP40C images released when the Nexus 10 first came out. There was a bug in them that Google fixed. They posted new images. You can download them at http://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images or http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/nexus-10/mantaray.
Also, what I mean about root apps modifying /system files...so there are a lot of root apps out there that make tweaks to your system...stuff like making changes to your GPS config files for quicker lock-on, you yourself going in and deleting unwanted apps out of /system/app, you or an app making changes to build.prop, installing busybox in the wrong place and having it overwrite system commands with its own...things like that. If you or any app make any change whatsoever to any file anywhere on /system, an OTA will fail every time. It checks the hash of each and every file before applying the update and if a single one of them doesn't match what it expects, the OTA will fail. So just keep that in mind.
But that error you're getting about set_perm is most definitely caused by using the original, bad set of images that Google put out there. Download them again, try again and you should be in business.

my OTA failed too, different error. this usually always the case if /system/ folder integrity check failure (error 7), means files in /system/ folder are not original or modified. Yours does not give any details, but I bet it is. to see what error, try to flash it thru CWM or any other custom recovery you use.

I guess I'll download the Nexus Toolkit, click on the flash stock + unroot button, so it flashes the stock 4.2.2 and then I'll try to OTA update again.
I already unrooted, but I think it's not a problem.
Seems like it is not fixable!
I used fast boot to push my missing file.
I used es file explorer.
I used titanium back up to make the app, system...
No way, nothing. Not the slightest luck.

the worst thing is that xt9ime.apk is asus keyboard, and it is disabled by google on nexus 7.

Sadness.
Fastboot is a utility used to control the base fastboot firmware on many Android devices. It lets you do low-level actions such as flashing a custom recovery, ROM, or kernel. Toolkits run fastboot behind the scene, but automate the commands for newer users.
I had exactly the same problem and after trying a few things, I just found a working solution for my Nexus 7.
I used the same tool I used to unlock and root a few months ago: Nexus Root Toolkit 1.6.3.
I made a backup of my files first, my idea being to reflash the 4.2.2 rom
I downloaded the system file here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occamjwr66v
Then, in the Nexus Root Kit, launch " flash stock + unroot" and select the downloaded system file.
The flash lasts 5 minutes, and the system will reboot.
Then you need to reactivate the usb debugging .
The next action is to relock the Nexus, with the "OEM Lock" in Nexus Root Toolkit.
The system will reboot after flash.
Then, the 4.3 update will be available automaticaly but this time the installation won't crash.
I hope this could help.

Try uninstalling the super su apk. Then flash super su zip in recovery. Boot and then install the supersu apk

How do you uninstall it ? The option doesn't show up when doing a long press on the icon, and it doesn't offer to update either (although there is an update available on the play store)

Open the app and go to settings, full unroot. Don't worry, it's not permanent, I just did it on my device to make sure and I'm rerooted.

I can't even do that : when i open it, i get "there is no su binary installed and supersu cannot install it. this is a problem". I can only press "OK" and it closes the app right away.

In Settings -> App Info, i can only force stop, or disable the app. Plus, it tells me that the app version is the 1.99.

Ok, do you have a pc and know how to use fastboot. We're going to flash the system image from the factory image and clean up somethings

Download the factory image, Google nexus 4 factory image. Download the same version you're currently on, 4.4.2 or 4.4.3?
Extract the download using 7-zip or winrar. Inside is another zip file, extract it too. In there you'll find the system.img.
In fastboot run
fastboot flash system system.img
It won't delete anything on your phone

That's right, the SuperSU is gone, which one should i install now? The 1.64, or the 1.99 update?

I followed all your steps, installed SuperSU going through the recovery mode. It seemed like everything was going ok, but when i tried to open SuperSU, the same message appeared :"There is no su binary installed and supersu cannot install it. this is a problem." and shut down right away. So, back to square one, i guess...

Man, you're having a heck of a time with this. It shouldn't be this hard. I had something similar a while back and I think I had to reflash the factory image and start all over again. not sure if you want to go that far as it will wipe the entire device

Android N Preview 5 beta npd90g (flashable & image, no encryption & dm verification)
** DISCLAIMER: APPLY AT YOUR OWN RISK **** The following are instructions for installing Android N Preview 5 image released by Google on 7/18/2016. After the installation you will have TWRP recovery 3.0.2-0 with the data partition erased and unencrypted if you use method 2 **Always backup your data before flashing something a total stranger gives you!
Method 1: Flash update through TWRP recovery (keeps your data and current recovery)
1- You need to have TWRP 3.0.2-0 or higher installed on your phone.
2- Download this flashable zip.
3- Copy to the phone internal storage and flash via recovery.
4- Reboot. Your data should still be intact and your OS is upgraded to N Preview 5 beta. If your internal storage is unencrypted before flashing it remains unencrypted.
Method 2: Flash update using a computer (wipes everything, unencrypts data, and upgrades TWRP)
1- ALL of your data including the internal storage will be lost so make a backup. (If you know what you are doing and you are coming from unencrypted Marshmallow you can modify the instructions to not lose data but I won't help you with that).
2- Download this file. Note that it is NOT a flashable zip.
3- Unzip into a folder of your choice on your PC.
4- Open a command window (cmd) and cd to this directory. then run the following:
Code:
flash-all
5- Wait until prompted, then press key to reboot the phone.
6- Your data is wiped and your OS is upgraded to N Preview 5 beta with unencrypted internal storage. Your TWRP is also upgraded to 3.0.2-0.
Technical details: this is a repacking of the Google image with a modified Kernel and removed userdata and recovery images. Everything else is stock.

About root and other issues
To obtain root after installing this update you should flash SuperSU 2.76 (or higher) in recovery. Get it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133.
Cool thanks.. Will android pay still work?
The link doesn't work for me (method 1). Brings up a blank page.
edit - sorry, I see it's still being uploaded. When I first looked on my phone it said this was posted at 5:37 am. When I logged in on my computer just now it says 11:37 pm (25 min ago).
Thanx! Just got the OTA Update available message - can I flash the OTA as well when I am coming from your unencrypted Android N4?

If you take the google OTA your phone will be encrypted and your recovery will be replaced with google's. If you want to keep the recovery and unencrypted sdcard then flash the flashable file above (method 1) that I just finished uploading.
do you have to be on N already, to flash using method #1, and also, are the normal wiping methods required?

You can be on whatever rom you want. Just do a full wipe (data,system etc) and don't wipe sdcard. Then make sure you have TWRP 3.0+. And just flash the zip from method 1. I just did and it's working perfect.
Thanks @najoor !
Why is it always after I post that I realized what I did wrong? LOL edited and deleted.

I'm currently on preview 4 with twrp and root with elemental. Do I need to restore the stock kernel before flashing method 1?
Thanks for your work on this, najoor!

No but your kernel will be replaced with N kernel and if any of your apps depend on the elemental kernel they will stop working.
