stock latest nexus 4 white, error while installing.

hi i just bought my nexus 4 white (from India if that matters) , i installed all the drivers etc.i have some apps installed like games , battery saving app,

battery widget ,facebook , uber for facebook sync, twitter, etc... normal stuff i guess :p

the update.zip is also uploading and successfully verifying.

but then these error appear while installing .. HELP! (N00B) :fingers-crossed:

error:

[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
Check your build number. You're probably on JDQ39E which is not compatible with this OTA.
[Nexus 4 General] chaint:
I'm getting the exact same thing. In addition to trying with Clockwork Mod Recovery, I also tried the ADB Sideload Update function on Nexus Root Toolkit and also got the same error message when using the zip (and I've tried downloading it a few times). I've unlocked and rooted my phone (when I first got it, three months ago) but have never flashed a custom ROM, Kernal, or deleted any system apks.

Section B

I'm on stock, rooted, TWRP. After flashing OTA.zip and SU.zip, is custom recovery lost?
[Nexus 4 General] scoupdogg:
YES!, finally got the problem! :p

thank you! ( searching google for an hour almost XD ) yes it is JDQ39E, atleast we got the problem :victory:

1 question,

-is some other build available for this??

You have a modified build.prop file, restore to the original build.prop file, which you off course have backup off.

You've changed your build.prop file, you need the stock version of that or it won't work.

Yes, this is the official update from Google.

I'm getting the same error message, only with "/system/bin/app_process" instead of "/system/build.prop". Can I just pull app_process from a JDQ39 stock rom and copy it over with root explorer, or is there more to it? Unfortunately, both of my backups seem to have the altered app_process - I've never flashed anything, so I'm not sure where it was altered.

Hey, I have stock with franco kernel and nexuslouder mod, do I need to return to original stock still before upgrading to 4.3?

4.3

Thanks. Just needed a confirmation. Running 4.3 now :good:

I used TWRP v2.4.1.0. Worked fine.

hello everyone, since its the ota helpdesk thread, i would like to ask my question here. how many of you have got the notification to upgrade? I am in uk ( on three network) and havent seen any change in the status since the announcement of new version. I dont wanna do it manually. Is it gonna happen in stages and we have to wait for few more days? thanks !
[Nexus 4 General] nihil0:
4.3 OTA was flashed and it seems to work, but I lost root. So I tried to use CWM or TWRP to flash SuperSU, but after starting CWM or TWRP the display is just black so I cant flash the SuperSU.zip. I used the following method:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.4-mako.img

What can I do to solve the problem?

Just installed via CWM 6.0.3.4 working fine so far, looks stable. Must answer no to question: 'ROM may flash stock recovery on boot'. Fix ? = > No
[Nexus 4 General] subhani:
I was on PA v3.68 with TWRP recovery. I had an recent nandroid of 4.2.2 stock rom rooted+twrp, which I flashed over my current PA rom.

It worked just fine. SO I found myself on Scenario #2 and did as was instructed in section B. I successfully flashed into 4.3!

I wanted to lock the bootloader so I fastboot oem locked the bootloader etc etc.

I noticed 2 strange things if you could help, elDady:

1. I still seem to have custom recovery TWRP installed and I can access this via fastboot recovery. In fact I used it to format data and factory reset after I flashed 4.3.

2. Upon trying to reboot device from TWRP, it asked me to 'fix root' for me. I declined and rebooted anyway.

I simply want to be sure that my device is fully stock stock i.e. no custom recovery like TWRP, no remnant of previous root...

in order that if I had to return my device it would be covered under warranty. How come it is still possible to enter TWRP and why is it indicating that it can fix the root?
[Nexus 4 General] mark manning:
If you used scenario 2 and you still have the twrp and u would need to flash the stock recovery to be fully stock otherwise you should be fine. As for the fix root I'm guessing that was for 4.2.2 and not 4.3

Edit: I think I read that wrong maybe. Boot into recovery to see what you have. Of you have twrp you know what you need to otherwise you should have stock. Sorry for my mistake
[Nexus 4 General] lukkystrike:
I am sure this has been posted, but you all can go straight to recovery with "adb reboot recovery" that way you can skip a step.

I remember the good old days of not being able to do those commands until rooted. Would have saved a lot of time rooting old G1's
[Nexus 4 General] Cream$ickleHJ:
So I was only suppose to name it JWR66V instead of adding .zip when renaming it?..
[Nexus 4 General] RohanM:
Ok guys as I am on stock JDQ39E + CWM I cant flash this OTA, So can someome plz tell me that is there any flashble zip of JDQ39 so I will flash that first then flash 4.3 OTA on it.

I am not near pc so plz give me a flashble CWM file only link.

Hey all, here is a link to the updated SuperSu. This is version 1.43. If you are having trouble with root, flash this. Also recommended for those on lower versions of Chainfire's SuperSu

Go to CWM or TWRP

Wipe cache & dalvik

Flash new zip

Reboot
[Nexus 4 General] briggs81:
Looks like I busted my phone again.

I was running the latest 4.2.x.

I was unlocked and rooted

I have twrp 2.4 installed

I tried to do Section B but received the "assert failed apply_patch_check" error.

Flashed boot and system.imgs from the 4.3 download from Android website, as suggested earlier. (I used fastboot instead of toolkit. On a mac)

Phone sits at Google screen forever. Will then go to Nexus logo but seems to sit here indefinitely.

I can get back into recovery, but not sure waht to do at this point.

I didn't revert anything back to 4.2.2. Do I need to flash cwm-boot-occam-jdq39.zip? What's the command for that?

Thanks for any help.. phone is still sitting at Nexus screen

edit: according to twrp I have no OS installed. It's also asking me for a password now when i boot into recovery. I have not seen this before..

edit again: I can't get adb to recognize my device. My battery is also dying... now at half. This is not good.. adb devices and fastboot devices shows nothing..
[Nexus 4 General] Giribhai:
Hi All,

I am on completely stock unrooted Nexus 4.

I followed steps as mentioned in Section A

> Downloaded the OTA.zip, renamed the file to update.zip, and placed file in the same directory as adb.

> Toggled to “recovery mode” and selected “apply update from adb”

> In command prompt i entered 'adb sideload update.zip'

In the end i getting message as 'Installation Aborted' followed by 'Error' on my phone.

Please ppl let me know what should i do...

I restarted my phone wch working fine but its not updated to 4.3... its still showing 4.2.2 :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] mike_24_11:
Try redownloading the .zip file.
[Nexus 4 General] efrant:
Reboot your device into the bootloader and flash the latest version of TWRP (2.6 I believe) using fastboot. Then reboot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache. Then reboot.
[Nexus 4 General] briggs81:
Ah, I was able to get 2.6 on using fastboot. twrp is still asking for a password. I don't even remember getting one, but I guess I last did this when the previous version of Android came out.

When I try to wipe cache it says "Failed to wipe dalvik". I can successfully wipe the other cache though.

I feel like I have a soft brick or something.

I'm on a mac right now and doing everything via terminal by the way.. Id o have a windows machine with toolkit installed but I have not used that for a year. Not sure if it would help..

When I reboot it still says no OS installed. Which path should I take now to try and install something? I do have adb access at this moment now also.. that seems to have come back.

Thank you..
[Nexus 4 General] efrant:
A few things:

1) adb only works when you are booted in recovery or into Android. It won't work otherwise. It wasn't working for you because you weren't booted into Android -- you were stuck at the X.

2) fastboot only works when you are booted into the bootloader. It won't work otherwise. It wasn't working for you because you weren't booted into the bootloader -- you were stuck at the X.

3) wiping the dalvik cache didn't work for you because your data partition is encrypted. That is also why TWRP is asking you for a password. If you forgot your password from when you encrypted your partition, you are SOL for recovering your data - it's gone. But there is nothing wrong with your device. If you did indeed forget your password, just boot back into the bootloader and type: fastboot erase userdata, then boot back into TWRP, wipe cache and reboot.

EDIT: If that still doesn't work, reflash the boot and system images again in fastboot, boot into TWRP, wipe cache, and reboot.
[Nexus 4 General] briggs81:
Not worried about my data at this point haha. I am going through your guide, which I believe I have done before.. saved me last year sometime. It's all coming back to me now :P

Thanks for the explanations. I gotta remember this stuff.

---------- Post added at 01:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 AM ----------

I flashed all the img files and am just waiting for a reboot.. still sitting at X. If it doesn't load up I'll do the erase user data and clear the dalvik cache (hopefully) and maybe that will work.

---------- Post added at 01:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 AM ----------

Not sure what's with my luck.

I've flashed all the img's from the guide to basically start from fresh.

I ran the erase data command, rebooted back into twrp and tried to clear cache.. still won't let me clear dalvik.

"unable to mount '/cache'

TWFunc: copu_log -- can't open destination log file: '/cache/recovery/

unable to mount '/cache'

failed to wipe dalvik

Now the only thing I didn't do is flash the recovery from the 4.3 update.. i kept my twrp 2.6 on. Is that causing an issue?
[Nexus 4 General] toews:
My bootloader is locked and I am running stock 4.2.2. Never rooted or anything. Is there a difference between updating this way and updating OTA? (ex. would this be more unstable? or "less clean" than doing it OTA?)
[Nexus 4 General] briggs81:
Ok. I went back and flashed boot.img and system.img again. I also flashed the recovery.img from the 4.3 update.. thinking maybe that would blow away anything from twrp. I then re-flashed twrp 2.6, rebooted into recovery, and it still wants my password.. and therefore still won't let me clear cache. I even tried the format data option in twrp.

I think I'm out of ideas. I guess I'll leave it plugged in overnight and hope it comes out of X at some point :(

---------- Post added at 02:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:11 AM ----------

I did it. Went through your guide twice in ar ow and re-did everything. Finally got it. Noticed the big red message too about not getting past X, but I noticed that this time it spent barely anytime on the google screen and barely any time on the X screen.. literally under a minute, while all the other times it would stay on for 10-15 minutes.. but I didn't end up having to wipe the cache via stock recovery. So far so good. Thanks for the help, again.

Section A: adb sideload

NOTE:Make sure you have the latest version of adb. It seems people are having issues with older versions. Its attached at the bottom Provided by-xaueious

1) Download the OTA.zip on your PC, rename the file update.zip, and place file in the same directory as adb.

2) Connect your phone and boot into the bootloader

3) Toggle to “recovery mode” and press power. You’ll see android laying down, press power then immediately press volume up and release. The menu will appear. Select “apply update from adb”

4) Open up command prompt from the directory above on your PC and type: 'adb sideload update.zip' The file will load and it will begin to update.

5) Reboot

4.3 to 4.2.2

Hi guys i know it's a silly question, but I don't want to make a mistake and brick the Nexus. Which is the right way to revert to 4.2.2 factory from 4.3 factory. Can I use the same method (method A) that i used to update to 4.3 to downgrade to 4.2.2?

If yes - I have to download 4.2.2 (JDQ39) from here (Factory Images "occam" for Nexus 4) right? And if i want to go to 4.3 again, can i use the full factory image 4.3 (JWR66V), not the 4.2.2 > 4.3 OTA, again using the same method A? (if i want to make a clean install of 4.3, not upgrading from 4.2.2).

Thank you
[Nexus 4 General] Dylan. Veldhuis:
4) Open up command prompt from the directory above on your PC and type: 'adb sideload update.zip' The file will load and it will begin to update.

what command prompt am i supposed to be opening? I am just waiting at the now send the package you want to apply and do not want to brick my phone.

Well, if that's not working for you why don't you try flashing with Nexus 4 toolkit.

Just placed the tar file in the image folder, reboot the phone into bootloader and toolkit will do everything for you. :angel:

I flashed 4.3 using that only without loosing my data worked perfectly.

Install via adb sideload, german nexus. Looks great.

If you type fastboot devices and it returns a number your drivers are fine.
