I'm in Scenario #1.

Will adb sideload wipe my device? I want to keep my data (SMS, app, app data etc...)

If it will, how can i keep my data? Can't wait for OTA :victory:

Frozen Bubble

Nothing wrong, except KitKat is not ready for prime time. I downgraded back to 4.3. Even the simple Frozen Bubble game shows graphics glitches with KitKat:

Can you or anyone else try it and let me know if you get these ugly white squares around the bubbles after upgrading to KitKat ?
[Nexus 4 General] Apocalypse~:
I'm a little cautious. I am on full stock with locked bootloader. Is there anyway to brick the phone or something similiar if something goes wrong?
[Nexus 4 General] Fanolian:
I have the same problem on Win8.1. I solve it by force install Android Composite ADB Interface again to the "Nexus 4" (with exclamation mark) in device manager when N4 is on recovery mode.

I was having the same problem, and this just worked for me on Windows 7. Thanks! :)
[Nexus 4 General] bjacks12:
So is it safe to assume that all of these ADB/Fastboot detection issues are related to Windows 8/8.1?

Last week I flashed KRT160O onto my phone without any issue or data loss. Reading all of these posts has made me feel like I should hold off if I get the 16S notification.
[Nexus 4 General] ..::Viny::..:
Got OTA (9MB) 16O to 16S via following process

1.Go to Settings-> Apps-> ALL-> Google Services Framework

2. Click on Cleardata & force closed it

3. Go to Settings-> About phone-> System update-> Check Now.

You will get the upgrade notification

When you will got System update it will show last updated on 1/1/1970

Works like charm

Enjoy.
[Nexus 4 General] tchsvy:
I know there is a Thanks button for this, but will stick post a Thanks! Thank you very much OP!

Stock unrooted, locked BL, 4.3 --> 4.4 on Windows 8.1, had driver issues sorted them all and updated to 4.4, thanks again.

I'm in the same boat as you [MENTION=1303662]AviK[/MENTION]

My experience went as follows:

1. Flashed OTA from CWM

2. Installed SuperSU from CWM

3. Wiped Cache/Dalvik and rebooted

4. Hung (or infinite loop) on boot animation

Restarted, got a weird CWM screen, restarted again, and got in. Soft home doesn't work, and a lot of features seem to be missing.

Try #2.

1. Installed factory image via fastboot, without -w.

2. Booted -> same thing.

3. Installed TWRP and rooted, still the same thing.

Any ideas on what to do, and not lose all settings / data?

EDIT: Did a factory reset, everything seems to work fine now. TWRP and SuperSU included. This was a good excuse to start looking through some of my more redundant apps anyway.. The factory reset doesn't remove anything from /sdcard, so that's a plus.

If u have custom recovery download ota zip and flash simply wipe cache+dalvic done

I do same
[Nexus 4 General] sabaramo:
I just got the S OTA (was 9MB), running stock with Franco 194 kernel. After reboot and install my build number still shows O. Is this normal? Or should I run the OTA again?

Sorry may have been answered before but I'm on my phone on 2G and browsing the xda app is like pulling teeth.

[Nexus 4 General] audiomanph:
Encountered a bootloop when I flashed SuperSU immediately after flashing the OTA. Luckily, I was still able to access TWRP and restored my backup.

I flashed again the OTA but did not flash SuperSU. It worked. I noticed that after flashing the OTA, it will reboot again to TWRP and continue with the installation (patching of the radio). After that, it will reboot and boot. The 1st boot took quite a while.
[Nexus 4 General] daddlefan:
Have seen the same. But there might be another reason within TWRP which might cause bootllop error. Like you said, the first boot after flashing the ota from TWRP takes quite long, during this time the twrp-display-timeout occurs and you think update-process is finished and try a restart with pressing power-Button, In this phase there comes no reaction , so you press power eventually longer and interrupt in this way the update-process and some parts may not be updated, mainly patching the radio.img.

So please go in TWRP to settings changing the display-timeout to let´s say 300s or more and you don´t get mistaken by darkening screen!!

[Nexus 4 General] steviewevie:
No. Just no. Please check the OP for an explanation from Google as to why you should not do this.

Error: "/system/bin/app_process" has unexpected contents

I didnt succeed in applying the latest OTA update (4.4-KRT16S-from-JWR66Y). I'm on stock rom with the TWRP 2.6.2.0 recovery. I tried both to sideload the update and to flash it directly via TWRP but always get the same error message which reads as follows:

Verifying current system...

"/system/bin/app_process" has unexpected contents.

E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/Download/c7d8660[...].zip

Error flashing zip '/sdcard/Download/c7d8660[...].zip

Also wiped cache & dalvik - error remains. The app_process directory is rather large - so i dont really know where to start. Really appreciate any input.

UPDATE: solved it. As pointed out in other posts, the xposed framework had to be uninstalled. From there, it's been straight forward.
[Nexus 4 General] kentoalexo:
What would happen if I do this. I don't understand actually unless there were some failed cases.

I just did it and I got the ota downloaded. The problem is I can't finish the installation. Kind of verification fail occur. And the phone reboot back to my version 4.3. Nothing changed at all. I had my nexus4 rooted and franco kernel installed. Is these the reasons I got the update failed?

OTA Help

Guys,

I have a nexus 4, completely stock :). I was on 16o build. I used the appropriate update zip available in OP. I flashed it via adb sideload. However, i entered into a constant bootloop. Tried several times. Later tried to flash the entire factory image after doing factory reset from stock recovery. But nothing. It was still giving me bootloops.

Later successfully managed to flash stock factory image of jdq39 i.e.earlier than 4.3. The phone started working. Got the OTA for 4.3 and again the phone went in bootloop.

Have now reverted to jdq39. Not sure if should try flashing the 16s factory image again.

Tired after the entire thing.

Please help.

Root doesn´t matter! You must have stock kernel ! Follow efrant´s guide!
[Nexus 4 General] PGvossman:
It can brake notifications and apps that rely on Google such as the Play Store. I had initial issues after doing it but it was all fixed when I rebooted my phone.

hy guys,

i have a nandroid backup of stock rooted image android version Jdq39,4.2.2..

do you guys know if eventuly OTA will arrive from jdq39 directly to krt16s kit kat??:confused:

...or should i restore my backup..flash..jwr,4.3 ota, and then 4.4 krt16s?

its my first nexus so help would be appriciated, thanx
[Nexus 4 General] ]grimm[:
I had this same thing happen to me. A lot of things a broken following application of the OTA, not only the soft home button

not working, but I can't access quick settings, my settings are all wrong, my contact store has been erased, my lock screen doesn't work... I'm afraid I'm not as magnanimous as ckarv, it's pretty irritating if a factory reset is the only way to rectify this. Does anyone know why this might be happening?
[Nexus 4 General] Scythe:
As I understand when you clear framework service you do clear your phones serial number(not literrally of course but some sort of) which confuses googleplay and some of your apps in which case your phone is become invisible to google play services(because it still search for older data), so you can still reach for google play store from your phone but not from your pc via browsers. Actually it is not a big deal and there is common fix for that but hey who wants his/her phone to be google reseted. Maybe you are rooted and changed some permissions or system files or franco kernel is the reason ?
[Nexus 4 General] Hollam:
I got an error with sideload:

set_metada_recursive: some changes failed (after fixing permissions and symlinks)

Used TWRP sideload and the JWR66Y -> KRT16S

Then i flashed SuperSU and now i have a bootloop.

Is there any way to fix this? I have no backup...
[Nexus 4 General] audiomanph:
Did the same and encountered the same issue. What I did was to boot to recovery... for some reason, it didn't get overwritten. Restored my backup and then flashed the OTA again but did not flash SuperSU. And it worked.

But since you dont have a backup, I am not sure if it would allow you to flash the OTA again since the OTA file has an integrity check.
[Nexus 4 General] Clem0726:
With my rooted stock rom and TWRP 2.6.3.0 using the section B of OP I've this error:

[Nexus 4 General] Hollam:
It allows me again but i alway get the error: set_metada_recursive: some changes failed

So i thought TWRP is the problem and i flashed the newest 2.6.3.3

I did the ota again same error. Rebooted immediately without flashing SuperSU

Restarted and now it showed the Google logo and then it stated TWRP again but didn't finish with the installation.

If i reboot the system i always get to TWRP....
[Nexus 4 General] failly:
Just recieved it in Holland with the Framework trick.
[Nexus 4 General] audiomanph:
I see. Didn't encounter that error so I wouldn't know how to fix it. But you're right, after flash the OTA, it will reboot again to recovery and will finish the installation. Did you see any error after it rebooted again to TWRP (after flashing the OTA)?
[Nexus 4 General] Hollam:
No it did nothing...

I now also tried with CMR Touch 6.0.4.3 ... same error:

set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
[Nexus 4 General] GroteBozewolf:
I had the exact same issue (was on CWM + SuperSU). Got the OTA, updated via CWM, immediately flashed the SuperSU zip (I think I should not have done that) and got a bootloop.

So I flash boot.img and system.img manually, it now booted, but gave me an error saying there was a error with Device ID's and had to do a factory reset (from CWM so I kept the SD content) and did a restore off app + (some) data using Titanium Backup.
[Nexus 4 General] linsbr:
I'm running to a weird problem, my N4 is all stock and i got the google SDK, i've already sideloaded ROMs many times for my N4 and N7 and never had a issue, but now, while the device is turned on, when i use the comand "adb devices", adb lists it and it looks like is all good to go, after using "adb recovery reboot" the device just disapears and ADB can't find it anymore, thus not being able to sideload the ROM.

Any ideas on how to fix it?
[Nexus 4 General] gialakias:
Well I have a guess why this happens. When I applied the OTA with CWM it installed many things and then returned to the menu. THIS IS THE KEY POINT. THE OTA HAS NOT FINISH INSTALLING YET. YOU HAVE TO REBOOT WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING ELSE. Then it continues to apply the OTA with the stock recovery and ONLY THEN you are done.

It will do until you send the command from ADB on your computer. In the state it's in it is showing 'no command' because you're not sending a command.
[Nexus 4 General] Nexus-Revolution:
Right, nevermind, I got it. Thanks very much. For those that are failing like I was lol, literally just keep pressing volume up and power over and over.

Thanks everyone, regards.

I have another problem though, when I try to sideload the update it says "insufficient permissions for device", does anyone know what I am doing wrong now?

EDIT: Ok nevermind, I found out the problem. Since I was on Linux I needed to run adb as root. Try this for those who had the same problem:

./adb kill-server

sudo ./adb start-server

Then run the sideload command again.
[Nexus 4 General] Rikusaki:
Woohoo! I am now on 4.2.2!

I definitely notice the performance increase. The performance is incredible. Wow. Scrolling is even smoother. I only time I notice stuttering now is when something has to load (Tweets on twitter, pictures on Instagram when scrolling down). Gallery albums pop-in more quickly and scrolling in filmstrip view is smoother. The Quick Settings animation is smoother.

There was an unusual stutter I was experiencing on 4.2.1 in the call log, but now that is completely gone.

The audio volume is back to normal. Nice and loud again!

Voice search almost comes up instantly now, which is very nice. I was always a bit annoyed at the delay, but now that is gone as well.

I have no comments on battery life yet.
[Nexus 4 General] Nexus-Revolution:

Question: I'm coming from CM10.1 and want to flash image 4.2.1 so that I can install OTA 4.2.2.

Will it automatically get the new baseband and bootloader?

Also when CM10.1 finally updates to 4.2.2 and I root again to install it, will the new baseband and bootloader still remain?

Thanks.

I resolved the OTA Problem (set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed) by flashing the factory Images without the Wipe command

Download Factory IMG: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/occam-krt16s-factory-2006f418.tgz

Unpack the file and open the folder

Open the flash-all with an EDITOR (flash-all.sh for Linux or Mac flash-all.bat for

Remove the -w option from the last line: The line should now read: fastboot update image-occam-krt16s.zip

Reboot your phone to the bootloader and execute the flash-all file

With this way no data is lost.

Updated to 4.4 Side load method (Google Now not working)

I successfully updated my Nexus 4 to Kit Kat yesterday, however Google Now is not working I already installed GEL, but I keep getting an error that says that I am using a Business Version and that my administrator has to unlock the use of Google Now for my network, has anyone had the same situation?????
[Nexus 4 General] weeks101:
I decided I don't want to upgrade to 4.4 yet. But the update has been downloaded to my device and I have the perpetual OTA notification.

I'd like the notification to go away. It seems the best way to do this is to edit several lines in the build.prop file so the phone thinks I already have the latest version.

Can someone reply with specific instructions or point me in the right direction so I get the parameters correct? I wasn't able to find anything here.

My set-up:

Nexus 4 on Stock 4.3 (JWR66Y)

Unlocked bootloader

Rooted

Hybrid .33/.84 Radio

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 General] GroteBozewolf:
If that is really the case, then I guess it should be added to the OP with a large RED line around it! Or perhaps CWM should detect this situation.

Anyways: I am not complaining, just sharing the experience. It was a good time to clean up all unused apps. I just should not have updated half an hour before I was supposed to go to bed.....it got late.
[Nexus 4 General] Hollam:
Should be possible to retry ota sideload.
[Nexus 4 General] bjacks12:
That's odd. Are you using a regular gmail account?

I know Google Now won't work if I use my college's email(hosted by Google's severs and powered by G-Mail). Google Apps blocks most of these features unless your network admin allows them.
[Nexus 4 General] daddlefan:
Just use the correct adb-commands: It should be " adb reboot recovery" !

---------- Post added at 06:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:47 PM ----------

The same with TWRP. Just here it is the gimmick with sreen-standby which generates confusion. Actually should the ota-process reboots by itself, but because the display went dark for a couple of minutes I thought it had switched off, so I pressed the power button maybe twice or three times, but never long enough to induce a "siwtch off", suddenly pressing the button once more, the device booted up again in Recovery and flashed a few things fastly, the last I could read was the radio-image. I then started from recovery with "reboot system" now and everything worked fine, no hazzle!

So with TWRP follow the advice below!

See my former post:
[Nexus 4 General] cm94178212:
I am using my own account. I had no problems with Google Now before the update.

btw I'm still having problem, my home button now does not return to Home screen anymore, any tips?
[Nexus 4 General] rabidrotty:
So here is what I found and did so far but still with no success

Update to my dilema, I noticed that the prop.build had these lines duplicated so :

telephony.lteOnGsmDevice=1

ro.telephony.default_network=0

ro.ril.def.preferred.network=9

so I got rid of them, It took me awhile yelling and screaming like a banshee because I forgot to make system files r/w with ES File Explorer.) Thinking that was the "unexpected extra content" but no....ARGHHHHHHH, well the deletion of those duplicate lines didn't hurt the device, but if anyone has a 4.3 Neuxs 4 JWR66Y (Completely Stock) build.prop that I can copy it would be greatly be appreciated.
[Nexus 4 General] utsmaster18:
I'm also stock, rooted, unlocked bootloader, and with the same hybrid lte but I still haven't received anything.

Do I need to go back to completely stock, no changes or will I still receive the update? I haven't tried clearing frameworks yet but I did reboot my phone to see if it would work but no success so far.

Tried to update via TWRP but to no avail, then went to recovery with CWM. Few seconds later, CWM booted up, I installed the OTA update, and it asked me to fix root, now I am running 4.4, currently in the process of Google contacting its server to restore my stuff (which I have no idea why, because on the previous screen it was optimizing apps.)

EDIT: Ok my Nexus 4 is up and running, it kept my old homescreen but not my apps, WTF?
[Nexus 4 General] daddlefan:
Always use newest uptodate recovery (and Kernel and Rom )! So flash in fastboot newest TWRP 2.6.3.3 or use a TWRP-zip-file for it. apply ota-Zip. Reboot. Then reinstal TWRP and you should reinstall SuperSU Version 1.75. At least I had to do that, don´t know exactly why. Maybe because I flashed TWRP coming from CWM before,

---------- Post added at 08:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 PM ----------

Google is syncing for your other stuff. The "old" homescreen is the new one KK 4.4.!. You must install Nova-Launcher or GEL (Google Experience Launcher) additionally.
