I got the notification on my phone but when it reboots I get an error. I then tried to adb sideload it but got an error doing that as well. I am not rooted and do not have a custom recovery. The only change i have made is a change to the build.prop to disable noise cancellation.
What is the best way to get this installed without losing my data?
Thanks
The build prop edit is why its failing. Do you have a backup of the build prop?

Does the error say something about unexpected contents in system? I think you can download the factory image for 6.0 and flash just the system and the ota will work after that...... Well unless you haven't unlocked the bootloader. When you do, it will wipe your data any way.

You have to purchase clockwordmod form the Play Store.

If you're asking how you reboot into CWM, just install ROM Mgr from the market. It's one of the 1st options you see in the program after you've got it installed.
Make sure you deleted (or renamed) that .p file in /system, or the stock recovery WILL REFLASH. Just a heads up. Also, can anyone confirm that holding power+volume up+volume down while the device is off will reboot into the bootloader/fastboot mode? If so, you can access recovery mode from there, in case you run into a bootloop or something.

The .p file got renamed when I rooted so didn't have to rename it
Thanks everyone for our help
Hi guys, i was trying to delete the cwm backups to free up some space, so I deleted the the folders into clockworkmod. And now i can on longer boot into CWM recovery. It will go to the Google boot screen and stuck in there. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
You have to access recovery through ADB or the reboot option on your custom Rom.
It's a known bug when trying to access it through the bootloader.
Tapatalk made me send this.
isnt the toolkit meant to do this for the user? i read it said u can do this using the toolkit, also how do i do this once in root explorer?

Q. I flashed CWM but each time I reboot the Stock Recovery is back
There is an auto recovery restore system on certain Stock Android Builds that will reflash the Stock Recovery if you flash CWM on a Stock Rom.
Use Root Explorer to Mount the system folder as R/W (or use a free app from Google Play such as ES File Explorer). Rename the files /system/recovery-from-boot.p and /system/etc/install-recovery.sh. Now when you flash CWM Recovery it will NOT be overwritten after a reboot.
OR you can use the ToolKit to rename the files.

ok after a bunch of messing about with the toolkit i got it into cwm recovery but i only managed to get it to work but going into fastboot while having usb cable inserted and then kit recovery even tho highlighted in red and it worked, but if i try to do this without a computer and usb cale it wont boot into cwm...

You'd have to be on the latest bootloader and maybe radio, then you can wipe data and system and do the above, you can't dirty flash N over M

Try this when in safe mode: power off, reboot to recovery flash su and reboot system
Alternatively(once in recovery from safe mode)
1. Flash boot.img, reboot system then go back and flash su
Or
2. Make nandroid of data, clean flash and restore from tibu/nandroid option
I'm sorry i can't help you further mate, that's the extent of my knowledge about this

Does adaway and Titanium Backup work using this method on DP4?

i don't use adaway, i manually push a modified hosts file into system/etc, that works and
tibu seems to restore only data(even with a clean flash), so i install the apk from tibu backup folder and then restore data from tibu
flash directly from Android Developers using adb command.
However, it has been 20 minus and I am still looking at the "Google" sign. Should I try to re-flash it over or keep waiting?
PS. it took me 40 minus+ to wipe data and cache....

Titanium Backup will work once you set SELinux to permissive. I did so by using the following zips:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66371718&postcount=7
Anyone having issues with Bluetooth connectivity? I'll be listening to much over Bluetooth and the connection will drop. A few seconds later it will reconnect and continue on.
When it does this, the Bluetooth icon also disappears from the status bar.
Happens in my car (aftermarket Kenwood) and with my insignia Bluetooth speaker.

Thanks! I've been wanting to come back to N for a while now (dumped it when DP2 sucked) but the Titanium restore issue has been keeping me away. This is good news.
hi all
im running rooted stock rom, and received the security update, but when im trying to install , phone boots to twrp.
now phone keeps rebooting ' how do i stop this?
is there a way i can install it via twrp, or only when a zip file will come up, i will be able to update?
thx in advance for helping
I'm in the same boat. I knew not to let it. My wife had my phone and thought she was helping. It's looking for the stock release keys. It generates a log file in /system/tmp
From what I can recall, stock recovery has to be reflashed. I just need to kill the forced reboot so I can use the phone temporarily.
I was stupid enough not to backup before trying to update..
Is there a way to flash this thing?
Use TWRP to wipe cache. That will delete the OTA file and break the bootloop.

Yeah, go back to stock...
OTA updates are only for a pure stock device... No TWRP, no root, no Xposed, nothing, must be ABSOLUTELY stock or it will/can fail.

Yes, exactly... And I would also recommend disabling the notification in system app Motorola Update Services so you are no longer nagged about the update.

i went the systemless root method, thinking i would be able to update via ota's, guess not. however, clearing the cache did stop the reboot loop, thanks!
Hi
Nexus 4 is going in continous boot loop, this was post the 4.2 upgrade. the bootloader is showing the sleep driod with the red triangle, something is broken.
have tried to install the older version of image but , the moment it goes on line , it says upgrade ready.
how can i do a clean start or is some hard ware broken??
please help , want to keep this beauty going .....
Download the stock lollipop image from google for nexus 4 codename mako. Read all the flashing instructions along with it. It usually contains a flashall.bat, so u won't have to manually flash everything.

What happened exactly? Flashing error, bootloop? A little detail would make it easier for people to help.
Try flashing using nexustoolkit if adb didn't work for you. Bte lollipop takes a long time to boot for the first time so just wait.
