4.4 OTA update. Stuck at splash screen

Ok do I did search first but can't find anyone with the same problem.
Started with stock 4.3 rooted, unlocked,TWRP.
Got the update notification, told it to update. It auto rebooted to TWRP and applied the update with no error. When it was done (assuming it was done progress bar finished) it went to the main TWRP menu. I told it to reboot and it just sits at the new 4.3 splash screen animation. I assumed it may take a bit so I let it sit for about 20min with no change. Rebooted it a couple times, also tried applying the update again via twrp (errors out as i woukd expect). Wiped dalvik and cache. Didn't do a factory wipe because I'd like to avoid that but still no change.
Any suggestions? Should I manually load the full 4.4 package via TWRP?
Thanks!

Same exact setup... Say exact issue... Oh and before rebooting I wiped Dalvik and Cache as "Sandard Operating Proceedure" ... I'm going to just do a clean flash at this point....

Prior to the installation of the OTA it is safer to re-install stock recovery. Root is lost but re-installing a custom recovery and SuperSu bring back root.

How can i install stock recovery?

You *could* unzip the factory image and then fastboot the recovery.img file. A lot easier is to download the wugfresh nexus root toolkit and use that:

ty, but do u think it works, because i cant open my nexus 10 memory from the pc, since it is stuck at start up

Wug's toolkit has an option to restore to stock from a bricked system. All you need to be able to do is to get to the bootloader (press the power button while holding down both volume buttons -- you should get a dead android with a red triangle on chest).

[Q] Help, applied 4.4.2 OTA update using TWRP, now only boots into recovery

Hello,
I had android 4.3 on my nexus 7. I am rooted with unlocked bootloader with TWRP 2.6.3.0. I saw an update for 4.4.2. I told it to apply and it booted into TWRP and applied the update. Upon reboot, I get the Google logo screen for a bit. Then it flashes and the logo shows up again. Then it reboots into TWRP. I tried flashed the OTA update again but that failed. Then I tried doing a factory restore but that doesn't fix the issue. What do I have to do next?

Well I downloaded the 4.4 source code and flashed that. Now its booting at least. Time to restore my data

[Q] Updated to 4.4.2 Stock with TWRP but took the OTA update - Now stuck in rocovery

I updated using this guide:

All was well until I got a message for the OTA update mentioned in the post below and allowed it. I know, stupid.

So now my phone just boots into TWRP recovery and nothing seems to get me out of it. I've cleared the cache, I've wiped the phone, I've reinstalled the Zip. Everything just reboots me into TWRP. Is there a way out of this without flashing back to stock?

T-Mobile OTA Softbrick

I had an error in judgement and installed the OTA on a rooted and xposed out phone. Now the phone keeps booting into recovery to try and install. It but the screen just flashes the installing update bug droid every few seconds. Battery pulling just gets me back to the same screen. Is there a way to abort the installation?

Have you tried clearing cache in recovering mode?

Couldn't really get into recovery...it would auto boot into the the botched OTA update in recovery. I ended up flashing the firmware over Odin which did the trick.

I was rooted and unlocked, I downloaded the update, flashed stock recovery then selected install local update in the updater app. After installing the phone boots to the Huawei logo, then reboots and gets stuck at the the same logo.
I have a TWRP backup so can get back to B170, does anyone know how I can update without getting stuck at boot?

I have the same problème...

Are you sure you installed again a stock recovery?
You need a stock recovery for ota updates.
May try download the full rom and unzip it on your pc. The full rom is almost 2 GB.Copy the update file in
the dload folder on your sdcard. The dload folder should be on top lvl of sdcard.
Switch on the p8 pressing volume+,volume- and power buttom at same time till it vibrates. Now the installation should work.
But after this root is gone

I did revert to stock recovery before updating. I have tried both the incremental update and the full update.

Have managed to update. I downloaded the full update and put it on my external SD card. Backed up with titanium backup, then nandroid backup in TWRP.
Switched to stock recovery, ran local update from the updater app and the new version installed with no data loss.
Then flashed TWRP and rooted.
