Hi guys. I have a small question and maybe a problem. I have Nexus 4 rooted with unlocked boot loader, and TWRP installed on it. And as I think with stock rom, because only done everything to root, but nothing else.
Now I have a problem: phone offering to update to 4.3. I press update. It updating and restarting, but after restart it loads TWRP. And what should I do next to finish update? Because I don't know how to make it finish updating with TWRP? What should I do with TWRP to do so? I will be very thankful for any help. Because twice was making update, but still on 4.2.2.
You need to flash the stock recovery because you can't update via OTA with a custom recovery.
You can actually OTA with TWRP.. The device should load into TWRP and complete the update. After the update you will lose TWRP and root

I have seen this in 4.2.2 but not on 4.3. Could you please elaborate a bit more? How did you accomplish this with all these new security policies in 4.3? Thanks.

This is incorrect. The best way to update is download the ota zip from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145848
Go to twrp recovery flash the ota zip then SU zip v1.51 reboot done. Now you got 4.3 with root and you won't lose your recovery

Sorry if it sounded incorrect to you but what you just suggested, although it works, it is not an OTA update per definition as far as I know. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

When you get the notification saying there is a update on your phone you select it and it downloads flashes the ota zip. What I said is the same thing except you download it and flash it your self and by doing it this way you can flash the SU zip at the same time and not lose root or recovery.

Thanks, your post above made me read that thread you linked and while it works, it's not a real OTA (notification from Google or OEMs), but let's not fall into semantics here, the thing is it works and does the job pretty much like a real OTA. Thanks again, I learned (and downloaded) something new today

The zip in the link is from Google. When someone got the notification on there phone they posted the link to the zip it would be the same file if you received it on your phone

I know my friend I'm just trying to say that the affirmation "yes, you can update via OTA using a custom recovery" is not valid for someone getting the notification which is the common scenario for most people. Anyways, it's all good :thumbsup:

Awessome thanks bud. It's been awhile and I forgot if it did or not. You rock.
I've captured the OTA zip for XT1052 India 4.4.4 update.
Instructions (You should be on android 4.4.2)
For both locked and unlocked bootloaders
1. Place the downloaded file in sdcard
2. Don't rename the file, it should be exactly as it is
3. Rooted users make sure you're as close to stock as possible
4. Go to settings-> about-> system updates
5. It will prompt to install the update
Download XT1052 India 4.4.4 OTA
Could you post the stock recovery image of the 4.4.2 ROM, please?

You already installed it? Once you install it, the file is erased - forever. All OTAs are this way. You MUST extract it before you install it.
Confirm: Did you install it or not? Also, if not - has it downloaded completely?
EDIT: I'll take your lack of response as you confirming that you did install it...

Yes, un-root, and remove all traces of having rooted. That includes any changes done to your System Files which Xposed might have done. You will have to flash the stock recovery too.

No, my lack of response was because of the reading I was doing here on XDA as why I wasn't seeing the OTA zip file under cache. Then I realized that I did not download the OTA, I thought that it was downloaded already as I had data on and it was just asking me to whether it should install or not.
Now I downloaded the OTA, and it's there under cache folder, and now at a safe place on my desktop.
I would never install it on my phone without flashing back stock ROM again anyway. I like to do things fresh.

Thanks. It's always nice to have the latest of Android. The new dialer is meaningless for me, again, it just changed it's viewing type, nothing else has been changed! Need to install ExDialer as usual. Will see if there's really something done with the camera, can't take any meaningful photos at 3:30 in the morning :laugh:
Just one thing, as I have taken the OTA after a fresh install of stock ROM, now I don't need to format it again from recovery right?
There is already a thread for the 4.4.4 rollout here, please use it instead of having two similar discussions going on in 2 separate threads. Thanks

2. Flash twrp beta 9 from BadWolf
3. Flash oem.info-dualsim (C432) forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3971891&d=1481994704
4. Put your MM UPDATE.APP in the DLOAD folder on EXTERNAL SDCARD
5. Install it using the 3 button method (dload-method)
6. Factory reset in STOCK RECOVERY

Warning: This is probably gonna be a long post and may have typos.
Now, let's cut to the chase.
I'm currently on my Mate 8 emui.4, I had my phone rooted a while ago with TWRP and SuperSu. After rooting, I had the nougat update and I updated without knowing that it would remove TWRP and my root access. That was not the only problem! I couldn't switch on my Bluetooth. Also I lost the update option from the about phone location. I tried searching it in the search bar and clicking on the update button but, nothing would open up. And.. Yes, it was an official update. I tried to root it with the usual method but, it got me into a bootloop. I tried most TWRP versions but, it didn't seem to work! Either there would be no recovery (just a Black screen with some text) or the options inside the TWRP recovery wouldn't work. So I rerolled back to Mate 8 marshmellow. Now I don't have root, no TWRP or unlocked bootloader. So my question is if I should root my current phone version of emui.4 and be satisfied by it by unlocking bootloader now and rooting it, or update my phone to Mate 8 nougat again? If you're suggesting I update to nougat please provide me with ALL the necessary files to root Nougat and please guide me through. And provide me with the information on what to do in the worst case scenario too.. Please .
@Devil Chan
I think you should make like that:
Download the new firmware without to install it
Unpack the bigger file in a dload folder created on the external sd. You must to have a big file (more than 1 GB), inside you should find an update.app file, you put this one on the dload folder
Unlock bootloader
Install insecure boot for your current firmware (B200)
Install twrp
Reboot to twrp
Wipe - factory reset
Format data
Power off your phone
Install new firmware via the 3 buttons combo
After installation, make a factory reset via erecovery
Power off the phone and reboot to bootloader
Install Decrypted data boot for the B560
Install frd-twrp
Reboot to the twrp
Format data
Reboot to the twrp
Install update data of NXT-L29C185B560, I think you also have it in the downloaded files of your new firmware
Install supersu EMUI 5.0
Reboot system - normally fully rooted
For the 1 & 2, I think the files are like I said, if no, don't make this tuto. You shall see otherwise.
For the 4, it's the little issue. You must to recover a stock boot B200 and I could make you the insecure boot or Decrypted data boot, it's almost the same.
For the root questions, we can continue here.
This may seem very complicated but don't worry, it's not!

First of all thank you so very much for replying,
I'm sorry, I'm a newbie. I have a few questions.
Where do I download the firmware from? link me to it please?
What is insecure boot? Flash using fastboot? Link?
7 and 8, Factory reset doesn't format data? Using erecovery or TWRP?
What's frd-twrp? How do I install it?
Step 10 and 18, after installing the new firmware, why would I need to update it? How do I update it?
Can you make me the insecure boot? I don't know how to use it? Do I just flash it with fastboot?
Sorry got asking so many questions.. I feel really bad asking this many.

Your first screenshot, you can update it there.
Insecure boot is a boot.img which enable you to decrypt your data folder. It's necessary to root. You flash it with fasboot, ok.
Yes, Factory reset doesn't format the data
TWRP
it's a unofficial twrp for Nougat. You flash it with fasboot
Because you should format the data before
Via TWRP if it's really like I think (obtained files in the update)
Yes if I've the stock boot. Normally you can recover it via ADB
Yeah

Normally no.
Normally it proposes you at least 2 files, one bigger than 1 GB and another smaller than 1 GB. First is update and second is update data

The first should be update.app file extracted to the big file (above 1 GB), you will put it in dload. The second will be a zip what you will install with the TWRP.
Via dload method, yes!
Show me files once downloaded in order to be sure!

I'm guessing you're using TWRP recovery.
The problem is you can't flash incremental updates via TWRP, you need to flash the complete ROM zip. It's about 1.2GB and you can't find a mirror link on AndroidFileHost
No i am not using twrb.
I just changed my phone location using VPN and got the latest update via ota.
Once i reboot as part of installation it says "failure to upgrade?"

Download rom from the given link. Take nandroid backup of your device (assuming you have TWRP). Wipe dalvik, system, Data cache and perform a clean install. First reboot will take some time.
(Warning: You will lose data)
or just download the signed incremental OTA and flash that file via TWRP
Enjoy!!!
