Its simple my friend, Just flash the kernel and done.. Read the Op franco's kernel. I believe he has updated his kernel to 4.3.:)

---------- Post added at 11:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 AM ----------

Guys help. I got an update notification for 4.3 but didn't update it as it said battery is low so i charged it now and hit update it had a button Restart and Update, so I clicked it, it rebooted and the android was showing with a bar with blue line, It went till half and then It showed a error message with android and a red triangle. I am totally stock with no root and locked bootloader,with stock rom-kernel-recovery.

Note : I had rooted my phone installed twrp, but for OTA udpate when I restored my stock recovery through twrp and rebooted at that time it gave a error message with android and exclamation mark at that time then I rebooted and all was fine.. Please help.
[Nexus 4 General] new2androidz:
So the custom recovery and rooted status won't matter? Flash the stock kernel and then the ota will go through?
[Nexus 4 General] Rohit02:
It matters dude.. In order to get OTA you need to be total stock.. Stock rom, stock recovery and stock kernel with no deletions of system apps. :good:
[Nexus 4 General] new2androidz:
What I'm trying to say is how do I get 4.3 with my phone being rooted, stock ROM, Franco kernel and clockwork recovery without losing any of my phones data and apps
[Nexus 4 General] Rohit02:
Here you go : 4.3 Help

Go and see in which section you fall and do the needfull.:)
[Nexus 4 General] new2androidz:
I assume then I'm in section c. If you would mind telling me if I'm right. Would following section c cause the phone data to be wiped? Thanks for your help
[Nexus 4 General] WiteFlash:
Success!

Recap (for those who find themselves in a similar situation):

I was on stock rom, rooted, with a custom recovery and modified kernel. I flashed the 4.2.2 kernel from the OP and gave Section B a try to no avail. So then I followed Section C Option (1)(a) to fastboot flash the boot.img for 4.2.2. After that was completed, I did Section B again and this time it worked! After the OTA finished and put me back in TWRP, I immediately flashed SU (using the latest SuperSU I could find -- 1.51).

Much thanks to all involved in this process. :good:

---------- Post added at 08:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 PM ----------

You were in the same boat as me. First try to return your kernel to stock by downloading and flashing the 4.2.2 kernel under Section C Option #2 (let me know if this part needs clarification). Flashing the kernel back to stock will not cause any loss of data. After you get the stock kernel back on your phone, try running the OTA again. If it still doesn't work, you can follow Section C Option #1(a) (and following efrant's guide) to replace image files one at a time using the fastboot process. I only had to flash the boot.img before it worked. If you do have to go through Section C Option #1, just don't try to unlock your bootloader (again) and don't flash userdata.img because those will wipe all your data.

Having some issues

First I was running rooted, stock android 4.2.2 with CWM and when I tried to flash the update using method B, I got a status 7 error. I then flashed the 4.2.2 boot.img, system.img, and recovery.img (as suggested by efrant) and tried to sideload the update with adb. That produced this error:

Warning: No file_contextsVerifying current system...

assert failed: apply_patch_check("EMMC:/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem:[bunch of numbers and letters]")

Installation aborted.

Any ideas? Thanks

[Nexus 4 General] :
So I updated to 4.3 after reverting back to 4.2 without deleting my apps/settings, and when I try to delete the bloatware again using TB I get an error "cannot find the apk file". Does that happen to anyone else? Obviously I rooted and installed busybox again after the update.

Thanks. I hope it'll be fixed soon.
[Nexus 4 General] Luis_D1:
Getting the same t_t

edit:

Solution:

Download Root Browser, it will ask you to download some things to work as its full, do it then delete the apps old school style. Go to system - app's and delete from there.

Careful what you deleting though.
[Nexus 4 General] evosyn:
Okay, I redownloaded 4.2.2 and then flashed the system, boot, radio, and recovery again. So now everything is completely stock.

I booted into recovery and sideloaded the update.zip but now I get a new error -

Warning: No file_contextsVerifing_current system...

assert failed: apply_patch_space (25027208)

Thanks for the help

edit 4 - FINALLY I got it to sideload the update. I think what did it was reflashing system, boot, recovery, and radio, then as a last step, I cleared the cache while in recovery. (don't use adb/fastboot to format cache, just let the phone do it from the recovery menu).

This thread was really helpful, thanks.
[Nexus 4 General] jimbob_me:
Right im well and truly stuck now. Some help would be greatly appreciated.

From the start! (Im running stock 4.2.2. Franko Kernel. CWM Recovery)

1. Got the OTA last night. It failed to install because i had Franko Kernel running. As i result of this i flashed back to stock kernel.

2. Got the OTA again, tried again to install it and got the Status 7 error in clockworkmod recovery.

What are my options from here? Would the normal OTA process work if i flashed back to stock recovery? (is that even possible?)

Could i push the update using adb?

I dont want to lose my data! (Well i dont want to lose my photos anyway).

Thanks guys!
[Nexus 4 General] :
Yeah I did that using Astro Browser, I guess it'll work in any root file browser. It's just that I'm uses to doing that kind of stuff using TB. Thanks a lot though, I guess future versions of TB will support 4.3 better.
[Nexus 4 General] sordna:
I have a question since I uninstalled some system apps after taking backups with Titanium. If I restore the system apps with Titanium, does my phone qualify again as "no modifications / deletions" (Scenario #2), or will the OTA process see something different and fail ?

I tried two root file browsers and they didn't work, thats why i specified to use Root Browser haha GL.

[Nexus 4 General] rodleung68:
my nexus 4 is rooted, with faux kernel and twrm recovery and delete some google stock apps (like wallet etc)

i know my scenario is C so i can just use scenario C option #3 just flash img to update to 4.3 without doing like back to stock kernel and stock recovery i also change the system build to hide my soft key?

i don't want to back to stock kernel ,stock recovery and unroot, is there anyway I can keep my root, my recovery and kernel( i know kernel need to update) and then update to 4.3 ?

Anyone can answer my question ?:confused::confused:

After updating my phone to 4.3 via OTA, Google Maps is no longer updating. Any tips? Thanks!

[Nexus 4 General] WiteFlash:
You shouldn't need to revert back to stock recovery. If you can find out from the recovery log what the error is, it might help. I was in a similar situation (reverted back to stock kernel, but OTA still failed). Read my post a couple pages back and see if that helps. Good luck!

[Nexus 4 General] jimbob_me:
Gone back to stock all round. Stock kernel, stock recovery, stock 4.2.2. and the OTA still fails. I get an android man on his side with his belly open and a red triangle poking out. Absolutely lost as to what to try next. (I was running CWM recovery, franko kernel and stock 4.2.2)

Anyone know how i can just wipe everything and flash a fresh 4.3 install?

(Turned my rooted, CWM recovery Nexus 7 on for the first time in months and the OTA comes through straight away and installed perfectly, regardless of the custom recovery. So annoyed it wasnt this easy on my N4)
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
That's very odd.

For a full wipe and 4.3 install: download the 4.3 image here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

Boot into fastboot. Connect you phone to you computer and click the flash-all script. This will wipe your phone. When it completes you should be good to go.
[Nexus 4 General] shawt:
The same here and it is not just map I can not update any app after update
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
Delete your Google account and add it back.

Don't use the Google Framework "trick" again :)
[Nexus 4 General] sordna:
I deleted the Google Framework data to get the OTA, and couldn't update any app either after that, but I restored the Google Framework data with Titanium and was able to download apps again. I was worried that the 4.2.2 backup of the Framework app would not be compatible with the 4.3 version, but it worked fine.
[Nexus 4 General] WiteFlash:
Did you fastboot flash the radio, boot, and system images too? Maybe you have an edited system app on your phone that you don't know about. This is where getting your hands on the recovery log would come in handy, since it will tell you why it won't continue with the update. I was using TWRP which had an option to export the recovery log. Not sure if CWM has a similar option (although now you're on stock recovery). Again, stock recovery isn't necessary for the OTA to work correctly.
[Nexus 4 General] Reload147:
I am having similar problem to above. I had 4.2.2 , franco kernel, rooted, but I don't remember if I did stock root or custom stock rom root.

I tried ota then it failed. But I could reboot to my normal ROM but no more update notification. So, I decided from some guide to download the update from the google developer site and do flashall.bat method it gave me some errors like

archive does not contain 'boot.sig'

archive does not contain 'recovery.sig'

archive does not contain 'system.sig'

But everything else was ok. It sends the device to reboot but it gets stuck on X logo. After I tried manual flash method by copying boot,recovery,system.img to platform-tools. and using commands like fastboot flash boot boot.img .etc. But it is still stuck on X logo. What should I do? I saw somewhere after doing the flash it should take me to wipe data/factory reset but it didn't. Also in bootloader when I go to recovery it should broken android logo. Is that something to worry about?

:(
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
Boot into stock recovery and clear cache.
[Nexus 4 General] Reload147:
I don't think it has stock recovery because when i go on recovery it has broken android.
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
That IS the stock recovery. Press volume up + power and let go at the same time. It will open the menu where you can wipe cache.
[Nexus 4 General] Reload147:
Oh I see sorry. I will let you know how I get on.

Update: I did factory reset because i wanted data to be gone. And it works now. Thank you! :)
[Nexus 4 General] tippingvan:
Just got the notif for the update. I'm 4.2.2. stock rom, rooted, unlocked bootloaded, CWM, stock kernal, no mods. I dont care about root anymore, so can I just hit the 'touch to install' and it will work fine. I'll just lose root, correct?? And won't lose any data....
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
It should work. Yes.
[Nexus 4 General] jimbob_me:
Finally got mine sorted. Eventually i just followed this guide ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2377691 ) which basically allows you to flash each part of the new build separately using fastboot commands. Didnt lose my settings or data and the phone appears to be running fine again. But i may still wipe user data if i feel the phone is laggy.

Got to admit, its been an absolute nightmare trying to get this thing up to date! Very glad its sorted now.

Thanks for the help guys.

my nexus 4 is rooted, with faux kernel and twrm recovery and delete some google stock apps (like wallet etc)

i don't want to back to stock kernel ,stock recovery and unroot, is there anyway I can keep my root, my twrm recovery and kernel and then update to 4.3 ?

is it i can just flash the img without doing those back stock step ?

Thank you so much for helping
[Nexus 4 General] Mr_Cyrus:
Invaluable post, thanks a bunch.
[Nexus 4 General] WiteFlash:
From what I understand, no. You can keep your recovery -- no problem. The root is easy to redo if you keep your recovery, too. Your existing kernel is a 4.2.2 kernel, though, and cannot just happily become 4.3. If you want a 4.3 faux kernel you have to check with the developer to see if he has a 4.3 version; and if he does, you'll still have to do the steps listed in the OP to get to stock 4.3 first before changing to a custom 4.3 kernel.

[Nexus 4 General] :
I haven't experienced that and I used the files posted in this thread. Maybe something has gone horribly wrong during the upgrade for you, I'd suggest to try and re-flash a clean 4.3.

so if I wanna update to 4.3 what should I do (base on my situation ROOTED, with kernel and recovery)

coz isn't it base on opt#3 I can just flash the image to update to 4.3 ? or i misunderstand it ?

I'm quite confused and any help is very much appreciated.

I'm running stock 4.2.2, rooted with TWRP recovery. I got the OTA update on my phone and clicked update but didn't realize that the custom recovery would interrupt the process. So not knowing what to do, I rebooted from recovery. Now I'm back on 4.2.2 but there is no option to perform the update anymore, and when I click check for updates it thinks I'm up to date.

I would use Section B to update but I installed the AOSP browser and I'm not sure if that counts as a modification. Any help on how I can update to 4.3 without losing any data preferably?

Question

Hi.. I joined the forums just to ask you this....

I have a stock 4.2.2 on my nexus 4, but I did the radio downgrade trick to get LTE back so Its got root and all that. I live in Mexico so I do get pretty good speeds. I got the OTA notification for 4.3 but as many people have posted here, It fails to install. Obviously I've tried flashing it on recovery mode, I got a bit confused with installing the factory image (since I don't remember well how to do that) and searching for help in the thread I found your post.

I know the theory behing flashing and I've done it a few times myself but I'm no expert. Is it possible to flash ONLY the radio back to the stock one and then upgrade?. If so how?. How can I flash just the boot.img (or any individual .img for that matter)?. I use a Mac and I I've use Terminal for the without any major issues but only because I copy/pasted the commands. I would like to upgrade (if possible) with the minimal loss of data. And if that's not possible, at least I would like to keep (or eventualy go back to) LTE because 3G REALLY sucks in Mexico City.... Heck, I even took the time to change the theme to get "LTE" instead of 4G :D

English is not my first language so pardon any misspells or any bad grammar and thank you so much In advace.
[Nexus 4 General] zennonace:
hey there.......i think the first thing you need to be asking is if the 4.3 radio upgrade is compatible with LTE....and your english is pretty good....cheers
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
Hi there, welcome to xda!

Allowing LTE to work on 4.2.2 /system, boot and the radio are modified

What you would need to do is to flash the boot and system images from 4.2.2 and flash the .48 radio. Then, you can apply the OTA zip file

An alternative and probably an easier option would be just to flash the 4.3 factory image instead. You can find out how to flash images here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2010312 Since you are using a Mac just type ./fastboot-mac in front of the listed commands.

As for LTE it can easily be enabled in 4.3. Just flash one of the new hybrid radios here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2087227 and do the same build.prop changes as before.
[Nexus 4 General] colinleeds:
The update should be in /cache, so copy it to /0. Then try Section B and see what happens.

What is the difference between just installing the OTA that appears on the phone, and downloading it and installing via recovery as noted in Section B? Is it a more reliable method?

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
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
There is no difference. Installing it manually can be faster than waiting for the OTA to push to your phone.
[Nexus 4 General] benkya:
I think it same.. difference is section B if you have custom recovery.. ota download on phone uses rom stock recovery...

Any one have buildprop 4.2.2 from stock.. ?

[Nexus 4 General] pjc123:
Thanks. So with TWRP installed, everything else stock, I can do just do the OTA and ignore those instructions?
[Nexus 4 General] williamcharles:
nope...you need all stock that means stock recovery+no root+system apps intact+stock bootloader+stock baseband. Your bootloader may be unlocked, it wont conflict.
[Nexus 4 General] pjc123:
This is crazy. I see a bunch of people on the forums with TWRP, rooted and an unlocked bootloader (everything else stock) that just do the OTA update with absolutely no problems, and another bunch of people saying that you need to install the stock recovery back into the phone first. It sounds like installing the stock recovery would at least be the safest way to go, and then install TWRP back in later; it's not like it takes a lot of extra time.
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
Recovery can be custom.
[Nexus 4 General] pjc123:
Wow. The amount of misinformation out there is astronomical. You can understand my reluctance to upgrade to 4.3 until I sort out the proper method; there seems to be a lot of bugs with 4.3 and external apps anyway, so what's the rush until things get sorted out. I have made full TWRP and Titianium backups, but I really don't want to deal with the hassle of a failed update or issues with the phone.

Yep, I had root, unlocked bootloader, custom recovery (CWM), and some system apps disabled in the app preferences, and the OTA worked just fine. Didn't even follow any instructions, just let android reboot when it prompted me that an update was available.

I lost the recovery and root, but with an unlocked bootloader it's trivial to fastboot the recovery back, and flash the supersu zip.
[Nexus 4 General] spaceman860:
Next time download the ota zip and flash it manually so you can flash the su zip at the same time and you won't lose root or your recovery.

Also it is strange that he lost recovery because cwm asks if you want to keep it...

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] spaceman860:
The reason why he lost it was because he got the notification on his phone and he clicked on it so in the ota script it'll just reboot when done. If you do it manually it won't automatically reboot and it will give you the option to retain root and recovery

From my BLACKED OUT N4

Well I am sure that it asks you because 3 friends did it from the notification in system and they were asked about recovery and root. But nevermind maybe he pressed no by mistake
