Who says you can't discuss it? There are two threads with very dedicated topics. This one is about issues with installing an OTA. Then there is one where the URL's reside. Some people tried to create "new" threads to put the OTA URL's in(they specifically said that in their first sentences, which is why they were closed), but a thread already exists for that.

If you want to discuss any actual information about pending OTA's, I'm sure that'd be fine.

Except people don't seem to be discussing information. They talk about what GOogle must or must not want...which...since they don't work for Google, they don't know.

Plus they spout insanity like "Google wants to keep this from us" or something. It's a corporation. Decisions are made by business case. They don't have the time to even care enough to want to hurt whatever segment you claim they are neglecting. It's a business. You roll stuff out in stages because doing it all at once makes it difficult to identify possible issues, as well as makes it hard to mitigate any possible problems that may arise. Even those who work with a physical distribution or logistics model(not with software) should fully understand this. It's basic logic. Some would say common sense, but the problem there is that common sense is apparently removed from most participants on any forum.

But if you have any info to share on the OTA's or just want to ask questions about them(and not establish your new thread as the catch-all for anything OTA-related), I'm fairly certain it wouldn't be an issue.

Erm, someone did actually post a thread to the exact requirements you say, but it was still closed down and a link was posted to this thread, which is why I am saying my stuff. What I have said is not out of 'they may not like this or that', it is f.a.c.t.
[Nexus 4 General] XNemia:
hello mates

I'm running the 4.4 KitKat (factory image) on my Nexus 4.

My question is why whenever I receive a missed call, the screen unlocked itself automatically, I mean the slider lock ???!

your help is appreciated ^_^
[Nexus 4 General] tullnd:
Hi, I think you meant this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2529306

He may have meant that, but it's not what he said. He asked for people to post there when the OTA was released, which is what the thread I mentioned earlier is for. It could be construed another way, but it was still vague, so that's why they closed it. They also indicated specifically that they didn't want a million posts about when it's dropping in different locales, partly because it's not entirely driven by your location, but by the model/serial batch they release it for(which is something many people don't understand).

I get what you're saying, but they were pretty clear with why they shut the thread down. It was a vague thread that indicated it might just be a duplicate of another established one. I bet you can post a discussion on OTA of a different type, if you actually present a specific discussion that's different from the two big existing threads.
[Nexus 4 General] shadowdogg:
Well, in my eyes even a 'OTA' based thread using what I would refer to as 'factory images' should mean this topic is more void. How is downloading something and flashing it on your phone considered 'over the air'?
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
Because the Over the Air file is being flashed. Not the factory image.
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
Thread reopened. Please stay on topic this time.

If someone comes across the OTA link, please post it here.

Thanks,

El Daddy

[Nexus 4 General] chrisrozon:
What did the first post in this thread say?
[Nexus 4 General] sordna:
Lock status does not affect OTA. You can be either locked, or unlocked, doesn't matter here.

The problem with OTA's is you have to be patient. Your neighbor may get it today, and you may get it 2 weeks later. It's a staged rollout of sorts. Just be patient and it will come.
[Nexus 4 General] ankuzero:
The first post said no modifications at all, so I thought that meant, not toughing the lock status of the bootloader. Thanks for clearing things up.

I'll just leave my bootloader unlocked then.

hy, i have a question, im running aokpk 4.3.1 at the moment..however, when i got my phone with 4.2.2 i used mSkip-s toll to unlock, root, and install CWM,

and before i flashed custom rom i made nandroid backup of 4.2.2 stock,

so if i restore that backup and have stock 4.2.2 with root,unlocked BL and custom recovery do i belong in the B section from the OP ?

Scenario #2

You are stock, with root. Custom Recovery without any modifications or deletions.

Continue to Section B

Section B: Flashing in a custom recovery

1) Download the OTA.zip and copy to your phone.

2) Boot into recovery.

3) Flash the OTA just like you would a ROM.

4) Reboot.

:confused:

[Nexus 4 General] Srandista:
No, if you flash OTA file, your data always stays.
[Nexus 4 General] eksasol:
The whole point of flashing OTA is to keep user data while updating.

sent from tapatalk
[Nexus 4 General] cpkiller:
Yeah, I understood that was the case for OTA. But not sure whether the same thing goes for flashing it yourself, because it says you have to do it the same way as installing a ROM. And when installing a ROM you lose all data because of the factory reset.

Noob question: What are those legacy links? Why not flash those?
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
I said "flash it like a ROM" because that's the best way I could describe it. You don't wipe data.

If you look at the file names of the legacy ota's you'll see they follow an exact path. From xxxx to yyyy.

OTA's are not full builds. They are a series of patches. It takes your existing OS and replaces code.
[Nexus 4 General] eksasol:
Flashing (custom) roms do not wipe your user data, not even apps data. You keep everything except the change in /system partition. In custom recovery you can manually wipe data or internal storage.

Only flashig factory firmware using fastboot wipe your datas (but there is a way around it). In stock recovery however if you choose "factory reset" it will wipe user data.

Legacy links are if you update from an older build number, one OTA package cannot update from any build number to the newest, each package only update from a specific build to another. To find out what your build number is go to Settings -> About phone.

Thanks for clarifying guys! Sorry for wasting that space and your time. Very stupid of me, I thought the Legacy versions were the same as the others xD

Thanks as well for clarifying about what that deleting user data is optional, I always thought that it was required standardly, but ofcourse when it's so much a like, you don't have to wipe user data.

Now eagerly waiting for the update :)

For people who want to know, my build: JWR66Y

---------- Post added at 02:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 PM ----------

You're in the same situation as me, so you're in group/section B and you will have to flash it. I asked some questions on the previous page, so you can see their answers there. Maybe those answers will help you as well.

So, summary of everything: Yes you'll get OTA, but it won't work (am I right?), so you'll have to flash that downloaded file as described at page 1 for group B.

I hope I helped you out! :D

I think you are looking for this Link
[Nexus 4 General] eksasol:
Neither of those options will get you OTA updates from Google. You need to use stock recovery, which CWM isn't.

However, you can download the packages linked from this thread and manually flash it using custom recovery
[Nexus 4 General] theprodigy85:
My phone is stock and rooted.

I manually updated the OTA for 4.3 when it was available. At that time, after the update, my phone fell into a boot loop on the nexus logo screen. I think I installed the update through the stock recovery.

I want to avoid that issue for 4.4 OTA, so I was wondering if you guys knew what I did wrong to cause that or how I can prevent that from happening again?

I know that CWM IS NOT stock recovery and thats why i am asking if stock recovery is requirement for OTA .
