noob question

i am on stock rom, unrooted phone. using the method in section a, will i loose my app and data? and the stock image from of 4.3 from developer.google.com is a .tgz file which has a zip file inside. is that the zip file that i have to rename to update.zip?
[Nexus 4 General] eythian:
Won't boot

I did the step A method, my phone was rooted but with no custom recovery or anything, and I didn't mind losing that for now.

Now my phone sits at the boot animation, and logcat cycles over and over:

iumma.kallisti.net.nz/~robin/broken.txt

(just registered, can't post links yet.)

I have cleared the cache, and it made no difference.

How can I fix this? Preferably without a factory reset, I'm travelling and would really like to keep my data.

Edit: Solved: by following the recovery instructions here: double-u double-u double-u dot androidpolice.com/2013/07/24/how-to-flash-your-nexus-4-to-android-4-3-jwr66v-and-root-it-right-now/
[Nexus 4 General] Erroneus:
That should do it yes, and no wipe/reset is not necessary. You shouldn't loose any user data from this.
[Nexus 4 General] Federico_96:
Try to wipe cache, you should keep your data
[Nexus 4 General] eythian:
I tried that, it didn't help.
[Nexus 4 General] liamkosh:
Hi, I rooted my Nexus 4 and only installed the Nexus Louder. Will I get the OTA?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 General] elmiser420:
question

does section a wipe user data and apps?
[Nexus 4 General] steviemch:
No you won't lose apps or data. Yeah that's the zip file you rename (the very first link on page one). For some reason adb didn't recognise the file when i renamed it so I downloaded the file again and didn't bother renaming it, then it worked like a charm.
[Nexus 4 General] stuiegreen:
So just to check I'm on 4.2 roooted with the latest cwm do I need the extra su flash for 4.3 or not?
[Nexus 4 General] elmiser420:
thanks a lot :D
[Nexus 4 General] steviewevie:
Do you lose any settings/apps/data doing that way? I'm guessing not but haven't tried it that way before. And you're talking about the 4.3 factory image, right?
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
You'll get it but it will fail.
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
As long as you don't mess with the userdata you won't lose anything.
[Nexus 4 General] liamkosh:
Thx, so should I flash it?
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
If you want to manually flash the ota you'll have to replace the files that mod changes/replaces.
[Nexus 4 General] liamkosh:
OK, but can I just flash the 4.3 disk image from Google or i must return to 4.2.2 stock?
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
Yep you can go ahead and flash the 4.3 factory image if you'd like.
[Nexus 4 General] zilliver:
Hey,

Do we have a rooted zip that we can just flash on like a custom ROM? Don' t care about data in phone:)

Phone is rooted stock with bloatware removed.
[Nexus 4 General] defffizz:
am i missing something? flashed 4.3 image last night and everything works great, im amazed at how well my n4 performs, everything is scary fast, colors seem a little better, battery also. but ive noticed theres no clear all recents button when you click recents. is that supposed to be that way? i cant remember how it was on stock 4.2.2 cause ive been rooted for who knows how long time and all custom roms had it. tnx in advance for answers :)
[Nexus 4 General] wu.deguzman:
Don't know where I fit here. I'm a noob. Rooted, unlocked bootloader and no custom recovery. Want to flash the 4.3 update. How do I start? Thanks.
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
Stock doesn't have that feature. :)
[Nexus 4 General] peste19:
i am trying to flash the ota by i am not succeeding with it, i tried step be but i am getting no command, any ideas?
[Nexus 4 General] sohamssd:
Sorry if this has been asked before, I'm on jdq39E, and I'm stock, unrooted with TWRP.

Can I just download the OTA.zip in the op and flash it as you'd flash any ROM?

Thanks in advance:)
[Nexus 4 General] wiwid.colgate:
Sorry guys for asking this.

I'm running paranoid now, how to upgrade 4.3?

Should I revert back to JDQ39 4.2.2, then up to 4.3 or any other ways?

Jwrv66 ota zip containing new radio and bootloader ??

---------- Post added at 07:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 PM ----------

Not here in India as well
[Nexus 4 General] JBoriScrub7:
Will I get the ota?

Ok, first post ever. I have Nexus 4, stock 4.2.2. It is rooted and unlocked. I used the Nexus Root Toolkit from Wugfresh to root and unlock. I have not deleted any stock apps (I have, however, disabled a few from the normal app settings. I don't think that would matter). I have cerebus and other root privilege apps. I have not installed cerebus into the system and looking through my system apps I did not see anything that was outside of stock.

I assume this means if I decide to do the OTA myself I would use method B. But my question is will I eventually get the update if I wait it out? I initially was going to wait because I thought I would, but then I read a few things on here that may suggest I will not receive the update since I am not fully stock.

Thanks
[Nexus 4 General] Raeglatem:
For anyone curious

I was on stock rom, rooted with CWM. I had also flashed my radio and run the hotfix.zip's that were supposed to edit all files necessary (although looking back i don't think they did, i never did get LTE working or could've just not had it in this area).

Regardless though, I kept getting Status 7 errors.

I tried flashing the OTA through CWM to no avail.

I finally had to flash system.img and boot.img through fastboot (and eventually did my radio as well and formatted cache too). I had to re-root with the new expiremental SuperSU (didn't try any other).

Phone is working now with latest radio and running 4.3 and I did NOT lose my apps or settings. I basically did not want to go back to stock and lose apps so glad this worked for me. Hopefully no problems crop up in the future.
[Nexus 4 General] Ibrahim.Rahman:
stuck on sideload

I ran the command adb sideload update.zip and got cannot read 'sideload'

Please help!
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
You need to open the command prompt in the same directory as your update.zip file.
[Nexus 4 General] steviewevie:
Thanks, I did this and it worked perfectly (though I used fastboot and not a toolkit). Though having said that, I don't seem to have root but will look into what went wrong there.

Edit - silly me, I didn't select "No" to the question about keeping recovery when rebooting. I have root now.
[Nexus 4 General] Ibrahim.Rahman:
Yes that's what I did.
[Nexus 4 General] elmiser420:
just sideloaded

everything working like a charm, using section a, hundred thanks xda :D
[Nexus 4 General] El Niche:
Thank you for this! Was running stock rooted and now upgraded to 4.3.

For those having some trouble, I would recommend doing like I did through WugFresh toolkit. Just download the OP update file, run the toolkit, select the file, and in 5min you will be upgraded.

Thanks for the instructions and file OP!

Failed Update

Flashed the stock kernel img

Flashed the 4.3 update, failed.

Hi,

When I try to update my Nexus I've got this message :

I have flashed the N4_422_stock_kernel_and_components.zip but I still get this message...

Anyone can help me? Thanks you!
[Nexus 4 General] PliskinCat:
This is the same issue I had, running off Franco's originally.
[Nexus 4 General] peste19:
ok so i updated to 4.3 through step b using twrp and i noticed i lost my navigation icon, has this happened to anyone else?

Flash system.IMG too
[Nexus 4 General] efrant:
This: assert failed: apply_patch_check("EMMC:/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot:xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Means you are not using the stock kernel/ramdisk. Flash the attached zip to get you back to stock 4.2.2.

I had the same error even after flashing (multiple times) the stock kernel/ramdisk. So I gave up and flashed the 4.3 system.img and boot.img.
[Nexus 4 General] efrant:
That is by far the easiest and fastest way to upgrade. :good:

I need help. I have followed all the instructions exactly (section a), but I am still having trouble. Every time I enter "adb sideload update.zip" in the command window, I get the message "cannot read 'sideload"". I am 100% positive I have named the ota zip file correctly. I did not ice one unusual thing. When I enter "adb devices" into the command window, my devices is listed as sideload instead of device, which I never saw when I apllied OTA updates on my Nexus S. Here's a copy of the command window:

Can anyone offer help?
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
Flash the JOP40D system.img and boot.img
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
Windows auto-names extentions. Just name the file "update"

Then enter the command again. :)
[Nexus 4 General] heat361:
I figured I'd have to do that

Its fast boot flash and the extracted image name right
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
Yep. fastboot flash boot boot.img.

See efrants guide that is linked if you need reference.

Edit: fixed the command
[Nexus 4 General] heat361:
Do I just flash the boot.IMG and that's it?
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
I'm not sure what the beats mod modifies. If it mods both /system and kernel files you'll have to flash both system and boot images.

Windows auto names extensions by default. Just rename the file 'update'. Then do the command. Or run the command update.zip.zip

Hello

If I flash factory image 4.3 (JWR66V) I loose all my saved Wifi-passwords and personal keyboard directory... Its not included in the cloud save from google.

If I flash factory image for 4.2.2 (JDQ39) it restores perfectly without any problem. Anyone else noticed this? Or it it just me?

Guess I will have to flash factory image for 4.2.2 (JDQ39) then run the 4.3 OTA, cause then it works.

Anyone knows how to solve this?
[Nexus 4 General] cobyman7035:
is the 4.3 OTA officially out yet or still waiting? if its out, can it be rooted?

Hmmm, I flashed the 4.3 image with a full wipe and both were restores just fine.
[Nexus 4 General] Ibrahim.Rahman:
Thanks for the reply, that seemed to do the trick but now I'm getting error: device not dound

Seems like adb doesn't recognize my device when in recovery mode as adb devices also shows no device. Please help!

can i do this from 4.2.1 rom + franco kernel r72? or do i need to be stock rom and stock kernel at 4.2.2? tanks

Please read the OP
[Nexus 4 General] Twau:
Previous releases it worked fine for me too, right now it feels like I got two different cloud backups at google or something, very strange...

I flashed 4.3 factory image on my Nexus 7 and it works there...

Guess I will have to go from 4.2 to 4.3 with OTA-update to keep all my settings and miss the freshness or factory image ;)

Hopefully it will sync over the correct settings eventually.

I've been reading all morning and afternoon but still feel quite daunted even though I've flashed custom roms before. I'm quite confused by all the different methods for different scenarios out there.

I'm currently on PA rom v3.68.

I happen to have a nandroid of stock rooted 4.2 rom via twrp.

I have backed up all my important data and even made a nandroid of this PA rom.

Q. Can I go into recovery, factory reset, install the stock rooted nandroid then reboot recovery to flash the 4.3 factory image via twrp?

Or is the factory reset above gonna make me lose my recovery, my nandroid of the stock rooted image?

I'm a true noob. Sorry guys. :silly:

I'm following the instructions step by step. The phone right now says "Now send the package you want to appli to the device with adb sideload filename..."

OK. Not I have Command Prompt opened, but when I type "adb sideload update.zip" I got an error that says "Device Not Found".

I'm not sure if it will do it every time, but if it it does, I think as a general rule, it's safe to always choose YES for that unless something doesn't work right. If you notice something didn't take after flashing, do it again and choose NO.
