Hi guys! I've been waiting for this OTA impatiently. I've downloaded it and this is what Avast for OSX says – update OTA file (dowloaded from the link from XDA forum) is INFECTED with Android:SpyAgent-AD[Trj]!!! WTF??!! Can someone scan file under Windows or with different antivirus soft? Is it fake alarm?

Hey guys,

I was o 4.3.1, rooted with TWRP recovery. I received the OTA and applied it.

TWRP asked me if I wanted to get back the root, I accepted. Now I'm in bootloop.

What should I do? I tried wiping dalvik and cache, but I'm still stuck.

Any ideas?

I'm rooted stock with CWM recovery. I tried downloading the .zip from the OP here and sideloading that, but I get the same error. I'm stuck in bootloop (with the 4.4 animation).

Any ideas what I can try? (I made a nandroid earlier on today, so I'm good to go back to that if necessary)

[Nexus 4 General] venomizer91:
Oh...didn't realise that. So I should just be able to switch to TWRP and then re-flash and I'm good to go?
[Nexus 4 General] monkeypaws:
Well you could reflash the stock recovery and then reflash cwm and root or flash twrp and then root. Or side load the ota zip there are a few links to these options floating around.

guess i should know better, and backup thing before updating ... who takes 5 min to do that :D

good night ... will continue tomorrow.

cheers
[Nexus 4 General] astrujic:
I think you still have problem with drivers, make sure you do it right. Once you start installing them chose "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer" than choose have disk and go to earlier mentioned location. You can verify that you did everything right by typing: adb devices

You should see your device listed, if that is not the case you still have an issue. And yeah double check that you have USB debugging enabled

Hope this helps

[Nexus 4 General] user822:
Hi,

I had Google Keep and the Videoplayer removed, so the update failed.

However there is a simple solution, editing the .zip

Delete the unneeded patch (.p) file(s) in the Update zip

Edit the META-INF/CERT.SF and META-INF/MANIFEST.MF, removing the lines with checksums etc. for the patch files you do not need

Edit /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script and remove the commands you do not need (in my case the checking and updating of keep and video)

This might break with some text editors, due to the formatting. I think Notepad++ should work correctly.

I flashed the update with CWM and it worked.

Regards

[Nexus 4 General] srathi:
Lost root and custom recovery

I had a CWM recovery with SuperSU root on 4.3, with a "locked" bootloader. I flashed the 4.4 OTA zip using CWM and my phone is booting up fine. However, I've lost both the root and the CWM recovery. I now have no recovery (stock or custom) and my phone is showing an Android with a red exclamation mark.

Do I need to unlock the bootloader to flash the CWM and root again? Since I don't have root, I can't even back-up my apps using Titanium. I just want to avoid the data loss.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 4 General] davizera:
good night!

I did even better, I followed the steps from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2527142

Don't forget to remove the -w, so you won't lose your data.
[Nexus 4 General] Srandista:
Of course, without unlocked bootloader you can't replace recovery for custom. I'm afraid, that you can't get from this situation without wiping your device.
[Nexus 4 General] MrPaulAR:
I'm unable to upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4. My working state from 4.3 was as follows.

Unlocked

Stock 4.3 + Root

TWRP 2.6.3.3

SuperSU 1.75

My first stab at this after receiving the OTA notification was the following

In SuperSU do a full unroot

Install the OTA file

This started TWRP and the install started. It almost immediately gave the failed notification and went back to the TWRP home screen. Too fast to see the error message.

Try #2 was as follows. This is the procedure that I used to get to 4.3.

Manually download the OTA update

Boot into TWRP recovery

Flash the OTA file I downloaded

This too errored out but at least I could see the error. Bear with typos here...

Thoughts?
[Nexus 4 General] masterofmayhem:
I just want to confirm that if I flash the stock radio over the LTE hybrid radio, my rooted stock can flash the update using twrp. I know I'll lose twrp and root, but that is an easy fix.

I'm Stock JWR66Y, Rooted, unlocked bootloader, with CWM recovery, but have one modification due to wi-fi fix ive applied, so I cant flash zip file described in Section B. I tried to restore wi-fi backup, but I still got error when trying to flash OTA zip.

I suppose I have to undo that wi-fi modification to update to 4.4 by any method, right? How can I do that?

Thanks in advance.

I can not OTA update from JWR66Y to KRT16S, because I altered my gps.conf with FasterFix and I don't have a backup.

[Nexus 4 General] MrPaulAR:
I had removed it. Didn't use any mods to remove it though, I just dragged it to the uninstall icon.

I went ahead and reinstalled it from the play store and launched it to make sure it works. Booted back to TWRP and tried to install the OTA upgrade again. This resulted in the same error about invalid contents in chrome.apk
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
You need the version of chrome that shipped with JWR66Y. You can either find it and replace it or flash the system.img of JWR66Y
[Nexus 4 General] acpesreplays:
Thanks, El Daddy.

There's any way to flash system.img from zip file with my custom recovery or this only can be done via ADB fastboot (im still not familiar with this)? If its possible to flash from zip, can I find it in this forum? Thanks.
[Nexus 4 General] moses992:
Got the OTA 20 minutes ago, stock 4.3 rooted.
[Nexus 4 General] efrant:
Unless you really have a reason to keep your bootloader locked, you should leave it unlocked or, at a minimum, unlock it just before updating using BootUnlocker. (If you have CWM installed on your device, a locked bootloader does absolutely nothing...

As for your current situation, you can try this to unlock without wiping, otherwise, use Helium or adb backup to backup your data.

[Nexus 4 General] Polytechnicman:
Hi, I've recently received the KitKat update from Google and tried to install it, but it rebooted on me and kicked me out without any messages.

My current setup:

- Stock 4.3 (JWR66Y)

- CWM Recovery

- SuperSU 1.75

- Followed a guide to enable 4G for T-mobile that involved editing the build.prop file and then flashing some radios

I tried sideloading via adb (with the JWR66Y to KRT16S zip) and got a Status 7 error exclaiming "/system/build.prop has unexpected contents" which in turn aborted the installation. I have a feeling that this was what happened with the OTA update. Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of the original build.prop to see if I can proceed further. I tried unrooting, but still came up with the same results.

How can I get to 4.4 without losing my current setup, and keeping 4G?

I see. Well, I can always apply the 4G mod after I update to KitKat.

Would someone be so kind to provide a stock 4.3 (JWR66Y) build.prop for me? (I think that's how it works, right? Just replace the build.prop file?)

Hi,

Got KitKat OTA in UK just now. Finished updating. And I can see nothing new at all. No new features. I can only see slightly different icons and occasional full screen mode. There is no swipe from left at home screen function to access Google now. There is no long press at home screen to get widgets. Stupid YouTube app is showing that chromecast logo all the time and not letting me see video.

If this is what KitKat in nexus 4 was going to be, what was all that brouhaha about?

so I'm thinking this is not right, maybe I should try adb and see what happens, followed the steps, everything was fine until I got this Error.

So I have the OTA Winzip file named "update.zip" and I put it into the same folder as the ADB directory and ran it as C:\desktop\platform-tools\adb sideload update.zip

and I get a "cannot read update.zip"

Do i need an unlocked bootloader for this? Because I see no mention of it anywhere, searched some threads and nobody seemed to solve this problem yet?

I just figured the answer, watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6SVCOu49Bc&feature=youtu.be

What I did - instead of typing cmd in the start menu, I went to the directory of my ADB folder, also where the OTA zip file is located, and opened CMD there byholding shift, right clicking, and selecting "open command window here" . Then I followed the same "adb sideload update.zip" and it worked :)
