It doesn't matter how you get there. The phone just has to be in the state I listed in the OP.
[Nexus 4 General] GreenSGS:
Guys, need some confirmation. I am stock rooted, bootloader unlocked. Franco kernel. CWM. Only modified Qualcomm wifi config file. So if I get OTA, I need to flash only system.img, boot.img and restore original config file. I am all set, is that correct or I miss something? Is their any other way?easy one? Thanks

NooBs are rare to be seen on XDA, why because there are lot of noob killers on xda. Don't believe me then just act like a noob.
[Nexus 4 General] stefantomic:
Ok, I'm stock with root and custom recovery without any modifications or deletions. I belong to Section B.

My question is: Do I need to wipe data / factory reset in recovery before flashing the OTA or no? I would like to start everything from beginning (without any apps that I have currently installed on my phone). I hoe that you understand what I meant. :)
[Nexus 4 General] eskeyy:
You don't need wipe or reset. Just apply OTA update and root
[Nexus 4 General] stefantomic:
And I will have pure Jelly Bean 4.3 without my apps that I had on 4.2.2?
[Nexus 4 General] eskeyy:
If you want start everything from start you need factory reset but when you will do that it's depend from you, you can do that before update or after. Update have nothing to this
[Nexus 4 General] petrolin:
I'm root, but no custom recovery, only a cwmsuperuser.zip file in the sd. If I try to restart in recovery mode it appears "no commands" message. What do I have to do?

[Nexus 4 General] Cream$ickleHJ:
Anybody get the OTA by forceing it,..by clearing data/force stop google services framework, been trying and for about 30min
[Nexus 4 General] efrant:
Not yet.
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
Nope, same here with no luck.
[Nexus 4 General] Adriflipflap:
I didn't but there's not message reporting it, so it seems that nobody did...

Do you recommend using the app ota rootkeeper https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper the play store and then install the update?

[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
What does it say after apply_patch_check?

You can try it. I haven't heard if it works or not with this OTA.
[Nexus 4 General] eskeyy:
I had this warning too but it was not a problem, if there was any problem it should be show in last line before aborting
[Nexus 4 General] Corvidd:
I'm stock, rooted but locked boot loader. I haven't changed the kernel or recovery. I haven't modified any system apps, just installed a couple like Greenify. Will the OTA work for me?

By the way, I rooted without unlocking the bootloader using the motochopper method.
[Nexus 4 General] akiv:
It says

apply_patch_check("/system/lib/hw/power.so","a long code","a long code")
[Nexus 4 General] astrujic:
inch yelmens

I have the same "No file_ContextsVerifying current system.." but update continues after that with "Removing unneeded files..." and now is at patching system files... maybe 30% left. Will update once done.

Update: Done works fine. Thanks guys!
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
You will either have to replace power.so in the system/lib/ directory or flash the full system.img from 4.2.2
[Nexus 4 General] asharptm:
Had a problem with apply_patch_check on build.prop and power.msm8960.so but after restoring the original files, it looks like it flashed successfully!
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
Yes, it should work fine. Just use the ADB sideload method from section A
[Nexus 4 General] Corvidd:
Thanks for your reply. So it won't just download and install as normal then? If I unrooted before the OTA, then rerooted afterwards, would that work? I'm very new to this and it would be an easier method if possible.
[Nexus 4 General] emuneee:
Sideloaded (unlocked bootloader, encrypted, and completely stock)..its rebooting now! Thanks!
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
Yeah it will download and install eventually. Using the methods in this thread are to install the OTA manually so you don't have to wait.
[Nexus 4 General] joelcripes:
The only mod I've made is the audio fix for lte. Does anyone know if there's a way to revert that? Does it just do build prop edits? It was just a flash able zip so I'm not sure what it changed. I don't really want to have to wipe to get 4.3.
[Nexus 4 General] meats:
did yours reboot fully yet? it took longer than 5min to flash the OTA on my phone.

I'm 12min into the reboot now, is this a normal amount of time?
[Nexus 4 General] TheRebel:
If my phone is completely on stock (everything on stock) EXCEPT the bootloader is unlocked, will I receive the OTA from google?
[Nexus 4 General] Cor-master:
I'm completly stock on my n4, I just wanna update it, keep everything the way it is, do these methods keep it that way? I'm guessing Google hasn't posted the actual OTA, just the factory images right?

Also just an fyi, the link doesn't work on the first page
[Nexus 4 General] reicute789:
just to confirm. i made a nandroid after i root,unlock bootloader and install cwm using mrskip's toolkit. all i have to do is restore that backup and flash ota.zip from cwm right? thanks

edit: does ota.zip contain new baseband? and will i loose cwm in the process? thanks
[Nexus 4 General] spaceman860:
Yes get the ota update link in the op and flash it no need to wipe anything

From my BLACKED OUT N4
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
No, its more than just build.prop edits. You'll have to flash the system.img. You wont lose any data.
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
The OTA link should be fixed. It was an edit fail on my part.

Go ahead and adb sideload and you'll be set.
[Nexus 4 General] joelcripes:
Alright, I'm on vacation and don't have a computer with me so was hoping to just flash a zip. Guess I'll have to wait till I get home! Thanks for the help!
[Nexus 4 General] TheRebel:
Thanks. But I want to receive OTA directly from google, don't want to flash it myself. Will I receive it from google?
[Nexus 4 General] Cor-master:
Yeah I somehow missed that part lol, running on 4 hours of sleep and kinda spacey. Thanks for the help and quick reply!
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
Yes you will. Just an unlocked bootloader is completely fine.
[Nexus 4 General] spaceman860:
Yes you'll receive it but it can take weeks before you do. The link posted is from Google tho

From my BLACKED OUT N4
[Nexus 4 General] meats:
I just completed the update. I'm rooted, everything else is stock,

Anyway, the flash took longer than 5min, I got worried, but eventually went ok. I then flashed the Super User zip, no issues there.

Upon reboot from CWM it took FOREVER. Finally after 15min I killed it and powered down. Upon reboot it finally worked and showed my apps being updated and various DBs being upgraded

If you get stuck on that first reboot, power down and re-try. It worked for me!
[Nexus 4 General] legendnexus:
do we need to install the binaries provided on the android nexus developer page too??
[Nexus 4 General] Kid_droid:
Last update all did was use Voodoo Root-Keeper to store root then temp unrooted the device on the app.

Then installed a flashable zip of the OTA using TWRP. And after the reboot pushed the restore root and downloaded another recovery using goo manager.

Would that work when someone makes a flashable zip?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 General] patsmike:
Good to see this working for someone (and keeping root)... I hadn't seen many positive "it works!" messages haha
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
Nope, those are just for building from source.
[Nexus 4 General] Cor-master:
When you say recovery mode do you mean bootloader or recovery? Because when I go into recovery, I get a picture of a dead android robot that says "No command". Does the nexus 4 not have a stock recovery?

Also ADB isn't seeing my nexus 4, and I did download and overwrite my old ADB, so IDK. I downloaded the windows driver and windows sees it in fastboot, adb doesn't.
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
That is stock recovery. Press power and volume up at the same time and let go to open the menu options.
[Nexus 4 General] smcgirr:
When you see "No command" press Power and Volume Up a couple times and you should get another menu where you can select install update from adb...
[Nexus 4 General] Erroneus:
Any issues, if you had Rekey installed on your phone?
[Nexus 4 General] Cor-master:
I'm being retarded again, lol. Just saw it in your first post. Thanks again!

And it's updating now!
[Nexus 4 General] jaju123:
You then need to press volume up and power together.
[Nexus 4 General] guigadourado:

[Nexus 4 General] hib1000:
I'm a bit confused. If i flash the zip in post one through my custom recovery will i lose any data?
[Nexus 4 General] superboom:
I'm too late, i flashed it by my way with factory images without data lost.

But U distibruted the update.zip ????????

:( :( :(
[Nexus 4 General] reicute789:
anyone? thanks
[Nexus 4 General] Lucenzo7:
When I rooted my phone, I took the backup of the stock Android 4.2.2. It has custom recovery (TWRP).

If I restore the backup, will I get OTA update?
[Nexus 4 General] VyktorJonas:
just askin but.. did anyone receive the OTA update naturally already? Will everyone receive it at the same time?
[Nexus 4 General] spaceman860:
No

Just restore it then flash the ota update zip

Yes that's way we have it. Not everyone will its in stages

From my BLACKED OUT N4
[Nexus 4 General] HyoRin:
Thanks, just did everything from section A and I seem to be on 4.3 with no issues at all.
[Nexus 4 General] MarcSinger:

By the way, is this the update/OTA.zip referenced under Section A: adb sideload?

I can't install the 4.3 OTA zip unless my build.prop passes the integrity check that is built into the OTA...I modified mine to enable LTE with an LTE-enabling script that didn't make a backup.

It would be much appreciated if somebody could please upload the build.prop somewhere.

As long as you don't wipe data or flash user data.img you won't lose any data.

Thanks efrant. Maybe you can stick around and answer some of the kernel related questions. :) It's not my strong suit. It seems like some custom kernel remnants are sticking.
[Nexus 4 General] ShotgunPanda:
Radio update?

Was there a radio update included? I'm not so sure because the file was listed as radio.img.p instead of the usual image file.

If there's not I was thinking of just jumping ship and going straight for the latest codefireX
[Nexus 4 General] efrant:
I have to step away from the computer, but basically they should flash the system image along with the boot image. Some kernels (like franco for example) change a file or two in /system. So easiest way would be to re-flash the system. Or go in and revert the file(s) back. Can't recall the name of the files at the moment.

The radio in the OTA is just a patch.
