Ive read somewhere that its because Franco kernel changes the Thermal file, and that i need the 4.2.2 and stock thermal files, any idea where to get them?
[Nexus 4 General] reicute789:
just to confirm. im on pa+franco. if i restore a nandroid of stock 4.2.2 i need to do option b right? sorry, im at the office and csnt use my pc for androis stuff. :D
[Nexus 4 General] benderunit9000:
how do you do that if your device is encrypted?
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
I don't know, sorry. Maybe Franco's thread? I'm not much a kernel flasher anymore.

I reflashed the stock bootloader but i still get the error when trying to install 4.3 what is it i need to do exactly, in baby steps. I have the nexus 4 toolkit
[Nexus 4 General] CarLpez:
I'm running stock, rooted but I don't have a custom recovery. I'm not sure which scenario I fit in.
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
I've never used a toolkit so I don't know how that works.

I would get the 4.2.2 image from the nexus site. Extract the folders until you get to the images. Then flash the boot.img and system.img.

Then try the ota again.

GOT ROOT

I finally did get root to work!

My issue was that I had Superuser from my original root and I never uninstalled this. Then I had installed Chainfire's SuperSU and I was getting all kinds of FCs and a message that Binaries were not working. Sooo, I googled the **** out of it and I found Chainfire's SuperSU on his G+. Downloaded, flashed, wiped dalvik and cache, rebooted and voila!

I recently flashed the .zip file to have better WiFi on my Nexus 4. Should i reflash the one that comes from the Nexus 4 before flashing the OTA with CWRT ?
[Nexus 4 General] rustyjay:
Thanks, your ota link worked great, had to use the experimental supersu to root.
[Nexus 4 General] digitallysick:
Here is how i fixed it

1. Download the 4.3 OTA zip

2. Download the Nexus Tool kit.

3. Download the original 4.2.2 system files, only use the boot.img and system.img

4. Use the Nexus 4 toolkit to replace the boot.img and then the system.img

5. Then flash the 4.3 OTA (it wont fail this time)

6. Success

The OP should mention about whether baseband is updated. Latest is actually .84, found in this thread:

UPDATE: New baseband did register after another reboot, 1st bootup after flashing OTA doesn't update radio for some reason, 2nd reboot does it, I have .84 baseband from the latest JWR66V OTA.

i want to return to stock kernel now, i have downloaded, any quick methods to flash it ??
[Nexus 4 General] spicediablo:
Just to confirm, if I flash manually, I will end up with a rooted 4.3? then I will have to restore my apps and data manually? As for OTA, everything is done automatically? Currently on stock 4.2.2 rooted with custom recovery and franco kernel

If you have custom recovery, you can flash the stock using that recovery.

Sent from Mako⁴
[Nexus 4 General] mark manning:
Unless you use a root keeper app you will loose root. If you wait for the ota or if you do it manually you have to be running stock for it to work. That means the Franco kernel will cause the update to fail.

As far as I know you have to use fastboot to flash the recovery. It is pretty simo,e tho

If I follow the instructions from section b4,wouldn't it be rooted ? In this case, will I have any problem flashing manually with my current franco kernel?

Or, you could just flash the firmware directly, if you're getting impatient to wait. Worked fine for me, and I'm now on 4.3.

By the way, can anybody tell me if I can root 4.3 with the procedure for 4.2.2?

What am I doing wrong?

I have a completely stock Nexus 4 and 7. Nothing modified and completely normal.

I have activated USB debugging and installed the Drivers for Windows 7. All working.

I have downloaded the ADB from this post, unzipped it and placed the ADB folder on to the phone. Within this folder I have placed the 4.3 update, simply called update.zip.

I've done the Power + Volume down and seen the laying down Android. But every time I hit the Volume Up button after fastboot, nothing happens.

What am I doing wrong?
[Nexus 4 General] azrash:
After several OTAs update for the N4, I thought the OTA Help-Desk is clear enough. I am not sure whether people are just lazy to read the OP. el daddy has done a great job compiling the information and arranged them in a clear structure.

Section C, Option 2, as you need the original Kernel back. But be aware that root isn't working properly in 4.3 right now.
[Nexus 4 General] reicute789:
it is. my mako is rooted. i used su.zip from the op section b
[Nexus 4 General] Erroneus:
Not working here and not working for a tons of other people. And for those where it does work, there are issues with high cpu load and some parts of the root not working properly.

So no, root is not working properly in 4.3 right now.
[Nexus 4 General] Xeodus:
Just tried flashing the new Super-su linked from the OP to fix the root problem after originally flashing the old one, but it didn't seem to work.

When I go to reboot I get a warning about stock recovery possibly being flashed and if I want to disable it, which I choose to - could it be that I need to not block this to properly install the su binary again? I don't want to lose CWM if I can avoid it...

Thanks

FIXED: I did indeed need to choose 'No' when I was asked to fix the recovery flash - all working now :)

[Nexus 4 General] sionyboy:
I keep getting Error 7 message when trying to flash the OTA through CWM. I'm running 4.2.2 with Franco Kernel, although I have flashed back to stock kernel and replaced the power.msm960.so file with the original. I've tried flashing the stock 4.2.2 zip and also tried Faux's 4.2.2 reset kernel but to no joy (got stuck in a boot loop with Faux reset kernel).

Are there any other system files that Franco kernel replaces that I don't know about? I don't want to lose all my data so I'm not that keen on flashing the factory image.

Anyon else stuck in a similar situation, or has someone found a way around it?

[Nexus 4 General] steviewevie:
Yep, I've got exactly the same situation. Stock except for Franco kernel, and I re-flashed the stock kernel and restored the power.msm8960.so and deleted backups of the others.

Section B should be updated:
[Nexus 4 General] sionyboy:
Well at least its not just me. Its strange as I went throught the exact same procedure for 4.1 -> 4.2 and it worked fine, not sure what has changed this time around. Have looked in the Franco kernel thread but can't find any answers.
[Nexus 4 General] steviewevie:
I'm suspicious that the assert seems to be failing on something to do with the boot partition, and of course it's the boot partition where the Franco kernel lives (and yes, I have double-checked that I really am running the stock kernel now rather than Franco).
[Nexus 4 General] steviemch:
Excellent

Stage A worked a treat, had a bit of hassle with adb "not recognising sideload". The problem seemed to be renaming the file to update.zip. Didn't bother renaming the file and it worked within 5 minutes. Thanks a lot!
[Nexus 4 General] sionyboy:
I saw your post in the franco thread, I've also posted my experience trying to get back to stock from Franco, so your not alone in there!

(Someone in that thread had the same problem and asked the question a few pages back, but was told "this isn't the place for that question"... !)
[Nexus 4 General] swiftyy:
Cool thanks a lot. Just for one final confirmation.

1. I download the stock 4.2.2 kernel .zip in section C option 2, then flash it in CWM recovery

2. Then I reboot into CWM recovery and flash the OTA .zip file

3. Reboot the phone into CWM recovery and flash the updated SU.zip

4. Reboot the phone and everything should be stock 4.3 + root (assuming if my phone doesn't get hit with the root issue)

Do I need to factory reset/wipe data/dalvik cache before doing this? Also will I lose all my data with this process or will I still retain my user data?

thanks so much Erroneus for your help thus far.
[Nexus 4 General] steviewevie:
I just thought of something. I wonder if it's because I used the Franco kernel app to restore my stock kernel, rather than a plain flash from recovery. I'm going to try the latter. How did you restore your stock kernel?
[Nexus 4 General] sionyboy:
Through CWM. I don't have the franco app so everything I've done has been through that.
[Nexus 4 General] reicute789:
everytime i reboot from cwm, it asks me if i want to keep my recoveey. i always choose no, but is there a way to get rid of that? thanks
[Nexus 4 General] Travelawyer:
I also got this error 7. That's how I worked it out:

Download the factory image.

Extract IMG files.

Get into fastboot.

Flash boot.img and system.img with Nexus 4 toolkit.

Now you have 4.3 but still may want the new radio.

Therefore reboot into recovery. Flash OTA.zip now. No more errors now.

Afterwards flash su file from OP and when asked if you want to keep recovery choose NO.

That's it. Android 4.3, new radio, root.
