[Q] Need help about updating my phone - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
I've got a phone by a friend (N4) which is everything on stock but it has francos kernel. Now, because he wants to update to the 5.0.1 version he gets this error message in recovery:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So, can I just flash the stock kernel via fastboot and I'm done?

Are you trying to flash a ROM using the stock recovery? If so you're never going to have any luck trying to flash anything other than official stock zips, install TWRP/CWM (TWRP is my personal recommendation) and download the flashable stock 5.0.1 from the Android Development section!

Looks like he's trying to flash the ota update. In order to flash the ota you need to be 100% stock kernel, system, and recovery. Try what Bbeanss suggested, but you'll need to flash twrp. If he's stock except for the kernel flashing the stock kernel should work.

It seems you have CWM or some such installed over the stock recovery, just flash the recovery to stock or use CWM and flash to 4.2.1 that way

Have you manually altered any system files or manually installed or overwritten a system app? That gives me the same error.

I take it when you originally flashed to CWM, you never backed up your stock recovery? If not then you can flash back to stock with the "nakasig" image from here - https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasig scroll down to Nexus 7.
Same problem but not rooted
I got the same problem aswell. Altough i did never root my Nexus 7. I got this error as fast as i wanted to update the device. i have tried to push the update to it via the computer via android sdk (Manual update) It wont work. I get the error following "Assert failed: apply_patch_check (emmc:/Dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by_name/lynx 500736" and so on. The version is "JZO54K". The Nexus 7 model is a 32 gb WIFI version. Any solution?

VS980 - basebands, modems, kernels... help!

VS980 noob in need of some assistance.
Tried to install Mahdi-Rom 2.5 (5/09) but I'm experiencing some bugs I believe are baseband/modem related, though I'm really not sure. Here's the current setup:

Mahdi's default kernel
4.4.X modified baseband by dr87
12b modem
Rotation and the dialer do not work at all. Help me, XDA Developers. You're my only hope.

Because you are on a 12 baseband as shown above, did you install the Rom with Patch R1? If so, that is based off a 24a baseband, you need to upgrade to a full kitkat stock rom first.

Sorry, again... noob here. Since then I've gone back to stock 11a using tot with root and custom recovery. So I have to flash a KK rom first before using Mahdi? Is there one you'd recommend?

If you are using the Mahdi rom with the R1 patch, yes.
Below is one with clear instructions.

[Q] I flashed the wrong kernal and now SM-G900F won't boot

I'm an impatient idiot. Lol I accidentally flashed the wrong kernal through Odin and now the phone won't boot. Phone is an international model bought in Hong Kong. I flashed this one which is a kernal for NE2 (Old Rom Kernel for G900F ONLY, use F6 KERNEL FOR G900FD):
KERNEL_G900FXXU1ANE2.tar.md5
I found it on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-root-triggering-knox-2nd-method-t2843044
So now the phone won't boot but I can get into Download and Recovery mode. Can someone please tell me how to install/flash the correct kernal. Do I need to flash the stock software or can I install a custom ROM which will also include the correct kernal. Please help! Any links to the correct download would be great!
Thanks in advance.
This is where it gets stuck now:

Go to download mode and Flash proper kernel. Thats IT.

That is easier to fix than flashing the wrong modem. Just flash a stock SM-G900F and you should be fine. You may opt to Wipe your Internal Memory and data clean to benefit from flashing.
Thanks, I flashed the stock with Odin and it works a treat.

Problem when updating to Official Lollipop

Hello everybody, I don't know what to do, I'm trying to update to Lollipop (I'm comming from Stock android ROM on my device), the phone do the necesary stuff and when it reboots it stays the same, no lollipop installed, no error message either. The phone is exactly the same as before. What could be the problem?

Are you on kit Kat 4.4 right now?

Yes, it is on KK.
How are you updating? Are you using OTA(a notification that tells you that there is an update available)? Or are you flashing factory images via fastboot?

Is your bootloader unlocked? If so have you rooted or installed a custom recovery?
I would flash stock 4.4.4 system partition image in fastboot and give the ota another go.

Hi,
I have a Nexus 7 2012 that I'm trying to Flash Stock + Unroot (soft Bricked/bootloop) using the Wugfresh NRT.
It keeps failing at the same spot regardless of what stock ROM I try to flash.

No matter which method I try to Flash a ROM to the device I get an error.
Even when trying to Flash back to stock which I downloaded from the Official Google site I get this error for all versions:-

First update your TWRP. Are you using the correct ROM? Which version of the Tab are you having? Download the correct ROM and then flash it.

That's what I have been doing, the ROM's are for my device.
Nexus 7 2012 (WiFi).
looks like you're using OTG USB to flash stock
you should boot to bootloader, connect to PC and flash stock firmware from there...
Hi,
I tried that via NRT and it still gives errors.
