Hi you did already quite good, managed already a lot! KK4.4 is at least partially installed,, maybe even complete,as your bootloader entry says Bootloader-Version - MAKOZ230d!

1: Fastbootmode = Bootloadermode.

2."Also, I do not have an advanced menu" Sorry for this , it is in the CWM menu-structure. In TWRP there is a checkbox named Wipe, go into Wipe and performe a "Wipe/Factoryreset" by swiping in the little oval checkbox at the screen- bottom to the right. Also find in the same windows "Wipe Dalvik-Cache", also execute this, just for safety and reboot..

If you still have bootloop you have to go into flashing complete Firmware through fastboot-commands: booted in Bootloader, in Windows open a command-prompt where your fastboot exe is...

Download fw-image,Link: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occamkrt16s

First you have to unpack the "firmware.....gz-file" in windows to a "firmware.....tar- file", unpack again until you have six entries: Best use 7z-unpack-program for this, Win7 also can unpack properly. The six files should have the names:

1.bootloader-mako-makoz20i.img

2.radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.84.img

3.image-occam-krt16s.zip

4.flash-all.bat

5.flash-all.sh

6.flash-base.sh

Those six files you have to copy into the same "register" (in German it´s called "Ordner" ,sorry, I dont know the correct name) where your fastboot.exe file is,

then check fastboot-connection again by entering "fastboot devices", it should give your serial number back

so now start "flash-all.bat", wait for everythings is finished and you have KK4.4 on your device. Then setuo your phone again, reinstall App`s or/and let Google sync!

Good luck

Hi, press and hold Power-button and press Vol. Up- Button quickly, then you enter Stock-recovery. To get root again you have to flash a custom-recovery through fastboot, then in custom-recovery install SuperSu-zip-file, reboot and check for updates of SuperSU-App in playstore. You also should install buysbox.app by stericsson. Done

You don`t have to unroot. I would update my TWRP to Version 2.6.3.3 first and then install ota.

nexus 4 ota problem

I don't know whether I my phone is jinxed or something. When the 4.3 OTA rolled out. It got downloaded. When I tried to install. The whole thing happened. But it got stuck at x logo after installation. I ever kept it overnight to check whether it'd starting or not. Then I tried flashing 4.3 but it didn't not happen.I had to flash it to stock 4.2.2 again and it works perfectly. As soon as 4.4 image was available I flashed it and same thing. It gets stuck on the logo. After installation. I tried clearing cache from recovery. Tried wiping data/factory reset. So many times. Have done everything every possible method at least 4times. Then too no success. What is the problem I am not able to diagnose. And this is when my phone is stock. Non root. Only boot loader unlocked. I wish to install 4.4 someone please suggest what to do
[Nexus 4 General] daddlefan:
Hi, just go to settings > Apps > All > scroll down to " Google-Service_Framework", activate and uncheck something named like "Show-Notification-Checkbox" and you shouldn´t be pestered anymore by Update-Notifications.
[Nexus 4 General] Kwak1400!:
Many thanks daddlefan, all sorted now :good:
[Nexus 4 General] daddlefan:
Something in your system.img must have been changed. You have to flash complete Firmware.img., Follow my guide to Kwak1400! if you don´t know exactly.

I just extracted the files from the factory image, placed them in the same folder as fastboot and ran the flash-all.bat

[Nexus 4 General] Sfkn2:
How did you flash to 4.3?
[Nexus 4 General] schmit:
nvm.. it appears that it did
[Nexus 4 General] rickbuck:
Because I think there exists an incompatibility with SuperSU, TWRP, either or both, and the latest Android update. Lots of users are bootlooping installing the latest. 4.4 updated well for most all of us, but the KRT16S, has been a mess. I like to stay stock, with just root and recovery, but I may try a Rom if SuperSU and/or TWRP aren't fixed to accommodate the latest Android update.
[Nexus 4 General] sordna:
Thanks for that tip, I got rid of the notification but if I go to Settings, About device, System updates, instead of the "check for update" button, I get the message that 4.4 is downloaded and verified, even though I deleted it from my /cache.

I would like to get rid of that false message and restore my ability to check for future updates.

I flashed factory kitkat image. Thanks daddlefan!

Boy, google is making it harder for us! haha
[Nexus 4 General] TA123:
Network indicators, both 3g and WiFi, used to change their colour when connected to Google services. Does not happen after flashing the OTA update. Have they changed it in KitKat?
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
Yes, they have. They now turn orange, only in quick settings.
[Nexus 4 General] maxikd:
now they are always white. and brown (when not connected) on the quick settings.
[Nexus 4 General] TA123:
Sorry, what is quick settings?

OK, got it. Didn't know it's called quick settings :)
[Nexus 4 General] sathkartha:
The factory image in fact contains the new 97,only the listing has a typo and says 84.
[Nexus 4 General] daddlefan:
Off course as you like, but still its wrong what you say. SuperSu,and busybox DO NOT interfere with the ota, Even TWRP Version 2.6.3.3 does not!! The only thing is with TWRP you must flash the "ota" from within TWRP manually by chosing the command: Install zip-file. After updating you will be back to stock-recovery anyway!

Although Root does not interfere at all !!!

I did it this way with TWRP,rooted and unlocked off course, without the slightest problem!!!

All those people who have bootloop after ota have this because they are not exact Stock! They have tampered with System files or kernels,

maybe even that they didn`t even got aware of this!

But you can get root without installing custom-recovery permanent.: Rename first the custom-recovery.img file just to recovery.img,Then use fastboot command:

fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot recovery.img

(Honours and thanks to [MENTION=1566190]efrant[/MENTION] who edited this command in his superior guide) Link: ,http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2010312

and while rebootet in the temporarily booted custom- recovery use in the TWRP´s-interface :"Install zip" and chose your predownloaded root-file, eg. SuperSu1.75.zip. After reboot you are back to stock-recovery, except that you now have "root"!

For your sake I just did testing all this once again with my phone to verify, and everything went smooth again!

It is your decision, just for getting it right and not confuse other users!

Regards daddlefan

Hi, I understand, but this you see deeply engraved in the menu-structure shouldn´t disturb your mind so much and catch your sleep!:laugh:

The Question is if we will get another Update anymore, because like the Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus now does not get the update to KK4.4, the Nexus4 then will be most probably already older than 18 month and not get an official update anymore because of Google´s new update-policy.

Our Nexus4 will be by the time of a new update too old to get a new "OTA".! :crying:

And we have to wait until the new "update" then has been adapted to Nexus 4 by the xda-ommunity, and has to be flashed manually anyway!

So where is the problem? You will not miss any update, Thats why we are here in the xda-community! :laugh:

Then you have to do every update per flashing and nothing comes "OTA" over the air!
[Nexus 4 General] sam_soren84:
I wasn't a ROM I flashed or even a factory image. It was an OTA from inside my phone. I lost root/su binary but no biggie I can get it back, stock android was what I wanted anyways. I thought 4.4 wasn't gonna be pushed to Nexus 4 till after Thanksgiving. I was too impatient to wait that long
[Nexus 4 General] rickbuck:
Yes friend, but the fact is, I was on stock 4.4, rooted, with TWRP. It was just the day before I installed the factory image 4.4.and wiped. I then used fastboot to install recovery and installed root from within TWRP. No other changes to my system. The next day, when I attempted to install the OTA update, KRT16S, from WITHIN TWRP, I had a metadata failure. (set metadata recursive)

Since you quoted Efrant - I will quote him too. - When another member asked him what caused the metadata failure, he said,"Probably root" Check it our for yourself.. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47709926&postcount=2291. Ive seen half a dozen postings where this metadata failure occurred on stock systems, with only root and recovery installed. So, if the metadata failure is not occurring on systems that have no root or recovery, as it seems, then what would be causing the aborted installations of the OTA update?

So no amount of exclamation points after your statement is going to convince me.. Ill wait a few days until Chainfire looks things over... and there is already a posting that TWRP made a change yesterday too, accomodating this metadata failure issue.

It will all become clear in a few days. Like many people here, I was simply too eager to get the latest and greatest on my Nexus.

How to keep root after 4.4 OTA, or other method of flashing official 4.4?

Or is there any way to root 4.4 without a data loss (wipe etc) There is a way in 4.3 to root without data loss, but dont work with kitkat

Help would be very appreciated

Sent from snappy old nigga - Nex4
[Nexus 4 General] exenew:
I had stock 4.3 and got OTA ...successfully updated to 4.4.

After upgrade i do see 4.4 is installed but i dont see all kit kat features, e.g transperant task and home bar, no 'ok google' working, still see widgets under application menu

Any idea?
[Nexus 4 General] VivaErBetis:
These features are exclusives for nexus 5 KitKat.
[Nexus 4 General] daddlefan:
As I said, it is up to you.Your phone! I don´t force you! Do as you like! But:

First: You had 4.4, Factory image flashed the day before, and then the next day you flash ota? ( OK, presume you ment ota KRT16S from. KRT16O, Tthen please say so).. Did you exclude Userdata or canceled the "-w" in flash-all.bat. Or did you single flash all the images with fastboot? Did you have 7"bootloop"?

Second: Which TWRP- Version did you use? Only Version 6.2.3.3 works with ota KRT16S, Not even CWM 6.0.4.3!. You are sparse with information, How can others compare and agree or validate those generalized info-bits?

Third:: Did you do a full wipe or flashed the factory image dirty keeping your userdata?

Fourth: Efrant said "probably root". I´s a guess. That´s all. I read this too. But if root caused the crashing ota, typothen it should, no must have had crashed all rooted devices, not just following a strange mystic pattern to fail with selected devices, based on an obscure " digital sympathy" !

Conclusion: Thousands of rooted devices and also such with custom recovery plus root were updated with no problems whatsoever, so the reason lies in something else which happened to boot,ramdisk or system. My opinion!

Edit:

Quote from rickbuck: " Ive seen half a dozen postings where this metadata failure occurred on stock systems, with only root and recovery installed. So, if the metadata failure is not occurring on systems that have no root or recovery, as it seems, then what would be causing the aborted installations of the OTA update?"

Answer: And I have seen a many posts here and in other threads where lots of people say they were except recovery and root "completely stock", but after "investigating" questions they had suddenly to admit or remembered this and that, eg. LTE-enabled, or "little" mods whatever.for . Those "forgotten" things then manifests themselves tf "ota" is applied. Well enough for now,we will wait and see..

Anyway, my Nexus4,with ota KK4.4 KRT16S installed on a rooted device from within custom-recovery runs just fine!

(Of course after ota I had to reinstall custom-recovery and root.)
[Nexus 4 General] exenew:
i see few nexus 4 on youtube videos that has these features.
[Nexus 4 General] VivaErBetis:
Yes, you can add some of them after upgrading, like with any other ROM/ mobile. But the stock ROM doesn't have it except for nexus 5.
[Nexus 4 General] exenew:
interesting...guys on youtube reported its stock ROM. I guess will need more research.

thanks for quick response though.
[Nexus 4 General] maxikd:
look for them in the "Themes" section. you'll find everything you need.
[Nexus 4 General] efrant:
Depending on which version of SuperSU you use, it could interfere with OTA updates. And as well, if you have "survival mode" enabled for root, it could also interfere, regardless of which version of SuperSU you use.

Generally speaking, if you try to flash an OTA update, and the error it returns relates to some sort of permission not being able to be set, it is likely due to root. If the error you get mentions something else, then it is likely not root related.

As well, if I'm not mistaken, I believe that I had even written an explanation in this very thread explaining why root could affect it.

You only need that command if you have the z20i bootloader. Otherwise fastboot boot recovery.img works fine.

See my explanation above. Root can interfere.

OTA problems

So, I'm in need of some help.

My phone had an unlocked bootloader, and put TWRP 2.6.0.0 on it. It was otherwise stock.

I had a nexus 4 that had been stock, recieved the last OTA, then the one for KitKat popped up, and I tried installing. It got stuck at the "X" like it was trying to boot into the system. Stuck for hours...finally I rebooted into the bootloader. Ive tried doing a factory reset to no avail.

Ive tried following efran's guide here but I get errors such as this:

fastboot flash system system.img
erasing 'system'...
OKAY [ 0.027s]
sending 'system' (700496 KB)...
FAILED (data transfer failure (Unknown error))
finished. total time: 0.028s

I have tried to make sure my USB driver is installed correctly using the links from efran's thread...

Not sure where to go now, and my phone is basically soft bricked, if i understand the terminology correctly.

Any help is appreciated, including directing me to another forum if i shouldnt be in developer. Thanks in advance

[EDIT] I solved the issue of it failing the data transfer by switching ports from a USB3 to a USB2 port.
[Nexus 4 General] alanerickson:
If I'm on TWRP 2.6.0.0 does that make a difference? My upgrade is failing. It goes through unpacking and Symlinks, and then I get an error flashing zip, the name of the file I'm trying to flash, Updating partition details, and then FAILED.

Right I just get the loopy bouncy balls. Not good. I can get back into recovery, but my only recovery is the TWRP 2.6.0.0. I can sideload.

Edit: Tried the update from the first page instead of the OTA that I had received. Now I get: Error executing updater binary in zip '/data/edia/0/sideload.zip' . Is this because I'm rooted?

Edit 2. Got it squared away. Used the N-Cry toolkit as another user mentioned and then flashed update. All my shortcuts and text messages were wiped out. Is this normal?

I'm going to bed.

Having upgraded to 4.4 over 4.3 through toolkit didnt create any problems to me.

But updating through OTA the S version was even simplier.

I have TWRP recovery with custom kernel and stock Rom. Got the OTA and I just had to unroot and flash stock kernel.

Then system rebooted, made normally the update and then I just had to reroot and flash again my custom kernel.

No problems with TWRP or Wug toolkit during all latest updates.
