**SOLVED** Downgrade Flashtool version

[EDIT 8-13] SOLVED, but not with using Windows XP-- Well, after installing the earlier version of Flashtool the phone could be recognized, and I was totally elated. But then when it came time to flash the phone the program asked for those SEMC drivers (which had already loaded successfully before) and the computer just froze again. After a week of a few hours each day restarting the frozen computer over and over went ahead and used a different OS. Windows 7. Upgraded the Ray with PC Companion and then re-rooted with Flashtool by flashing an earlier kernel, rooting that with DooMLord's kit, then reflashing the stock kernel. Phew!

[NOT] SOLVED! Answer was to downgrade Flashtool version. I read a comment somewhere that the new versions only work with "xxGhz processors". This computer is a dinosaur, so thought an older version might help. That was it.

- Uninstalled Flashtool version 9.

- Rebooted computer

- Installed older version of Flashtool--- 0.7.1.0

- Rebooted computer

- Plugged in phone, let all drivers load

- Started Flashtool and here is the log

25/041/2013 21:41:51 - INFO - <- This level is successfully initialized

I currently have 4.0.A.2.368 . The Ray wants to upgrade OTA to 4.0.2.A.062 (which I tried when getting the phone, however that didn't work). Sony PC Companion is ready to install 4.1.B.0.587 . Going to go ahead and install through Sony Companion using Voodoo RootKeeper to see if I can keep root. If not, will go ahead and use this tutorial to re-root.

I have the Sprint PPC6600 and I was wondering if I could upgrade my rom using the files posted on this forum, and if unlocking my extended rom and all the good stuff is the same. Now I know the Bluetooth upgrades work and ofcourse I cannot do radio rom upgrades as one is GSM and mine is CDMA, but are there any radio upgrades for the CDMA version and to the PDA rom upgrades and extended rom stuff apply to the PPC 6600 as well?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] gavron:
You can use the WCE ROM, but you'll note that the Harrier

versions are at 2.03 (available) and 2.04(only out in ROM),

whereas the BlueAngel versions are 1.40.

You can also use the extended ROMs except that it makes

no sense to get another carrier's customization. You're

better off finding whatever CABs you like here and adding

them to your own extended ROM.

You CAN use a radio from another Harrier.

For example, on my Verizon XV6600 I'm running

WCE 2.03, Radio HA01_141, and my own extended ROM.

[Nexus 4 General] TurboFool:
Sweet! Best way to flash these while maintaining data?
[Nexus 4 General] rayiskon:
an official OS update, at last!
[Nexus 4 General] pikachukaki:
neede rooted kernel and then i will flash it...
[Nexus 4 General] hp420:
Rooted kernel???? lmfao....this is a nexus, not a 2010 samsung device ;) Just get the su.zip available in the leaked 4.3 rom thread. boom...rooted factory image :D

If you want to make a flashable zip of the same rooted factory image, use CWM and select create a flashable zip. boom....rooted official 4.3 flashable zip, just like an OTA.
[Nexus 4 General] pikachukaki:
nexus kernels don't need to edit them with cydwin as for example to root the kernel?then add the su.apk
[Nexus 4 General] timdorr:
I assume this will wipe my data partition? Any way to *not* have that happen? I can restore with TiB, but it's a pain.
[Nexus 4 General] kyokeun1234:
might sound like a noob question, but can anyone confirm that twrp 2.6 works with 4.3 bootloader/rom
[Nexus 4 General] Marcb:
yes it will...

If I were you, I would backup the important stuff, sync all your content and flash the whole image... minimize the chances of future bugs...
[Nexus 4 General] zephiK:
yes..... recovery is independent of a new android version

theres a new radio in the 4.3 build
[Nexus 4 General] lovesingh25:
can a CWM zip file be made out of this(just like rest of the roms) and if such a zip file is made available then is it so flashing it wouldn't delete user data like images etc ????
[Nexus 4 General] kyokeun1234:
Thanks. Been long time since I flashed via fastboot and stuff... Just wanted to make sure. Time to flash stock :D
[Nexus 4 General] hp420:
there are no rooted nexus kernels. period. they are intended to be rooted, since they are developer reference devices.
[Nexus 4 General] pikachukaki:
ok thx that was my 1st release for my nexus...on my old device we have to do this.. :)
[Nexus 4 General] hp420:
correct, flashing a zip created with cwm will NOT wipe your sd card data like a factory image does.
[Nexus 4 General] TecQuality:
OTA updates are rolling out or not yet?
[Nexus 4 General] oSandmaNo:
Possible to flash this without losing data? Im not talking about SD card data. Im talking about the data partition. Im on 4.2.2 100% stock
[Nexus 4 General] lovesingh25:
Please create this .zip file whenver u find any time and post it here!!

Thanx
[Nexus 4 General] hp420:
they are the same. you WILL lose both your rom data, as well as your stored (sd card) data....100% guaranteed!! back it ALL up before you flash, or you will be disappointed.

Has Koush made a superuser.zip for 4.3 yet?
[Nexus 4 General] zelendel:
If they made an updated bootloader I am sure there was a reason.

Not that I am aware of. He will most likely do it after he adds it to the new CM source.
[Nexus 4 General] sebr:
So whats the best method to root for now?
[Nexus 4 General] zelendel:
Some say Chainfire works. Or you could just wait.
[Nexus 4 General] snak3ater:
Yeah..But why are you waiting for OTA update..Why not just grab the Factory image & flash it
[Nexus 4 General] elmonen:
Installed fine with flash-all.Bat :)
[Nexus 4 General] mrgold2505:
Please just help this old noob. How did you flashed this TAR file occam-jwr66v-factory-08d2b697.tar. been trying in the last 2 hours. I HATE BE OLD AND NOOB
[Nexus 4 General] elmonen:
I dled the factory image, unzipped with winrar, put the unzipped files to the same folder as my fastboot files (not sure if necessary), open cmd (with admin), Flash-all

Thats how i got it working.
[Nexus 4 General] bluejay2345:
Tar is a 'storage' format like .7z or Zip files. You need to extract those files before you can use them. I apologize if this is not what you are asking.

As a friendly warning: If you were unfamiliar with the concept of tar files, it might be best to wait a while until more experienced members of the community release more user friendly methods of updating to this version.
[Nexus 4 General] :
Assuming it's the one you got from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images, you need to un-tar the file you downloaded (open the archive), open the occam-jwr66v folder that appears, and drag the contents into whatever folder you have fastboot in (or put fastboot into the occam-jwr66v folder, doesn't matter). If you're coming from a custom rom/kernel/recovery and want to return to complete stock 4.3, run the flash-all script (you'll lose all data and sd card will be wiped, so transfer your backup/whatever you need to your computer first). It'll flash and reboot. Took ~1.5 minutes to flash for me..
[Nexus 4 General] mrgold2505:
YOU ARE ALL ANGELS.Much apreciate, only took me about 3.5 hours to do this. I am improving my skills. Not bad for a 54 old...lolol

---------- Post added at 12:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 AM ----------

So i am assuming we can not use the NexusRoot tool kit for this 4.3?
[Nexus 4 General] Konstigt:
Fsck, I came from CM 10.1 + TWRP and I flashed with flash-all.sh (from Linux). Had also edited the zip to not include userdata.img.

After backup & flash which went good I got the Nexus logo. Waited for 5 minutes then I assumed something was wrong and tried to reboot. Now the logo again.

Should I have waited longer? Is anything wrong? I can see the device via adb & I can use adb shell.

Edit: re-did it including wipe, now OK..
[Nexus 4 General] Burnerman_X:
I updated my Nexus 4 using flash-all.bat (flashing without userdata.img and not wiping) over rooted stock + franco kernel, no problems at all.

I did the same on my father's Galaxy Nexus (was mine before N4), no problems too. :)
[Nexus 4 General] ptesmoke:
yes you can use wugfresh root tool...its simple actually.
[Nexus 4 General] buster041284:
never too old to flash ;)
[Nexus 4 General] Ace42:
This replaces the recovery, correct?
[Nexus 4 General] jmejiaa:
Anyone having issues with Titanium backup not restoring apps in 4.3?
[Nexus 4 General] rafaa.andrade:
root 4.3

Hello, I'm on clean stock 4.3, can I install custom recovery and root by using mrskip (or other) toolkit?
[Nexus 4 General] Droid2drummer:
Not sure but there is a suzip floating around somewhere. Though its said to work for some and not others and with bugs ..work is being done as we speak to address this. :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] Atari-:
So... After flashing 4.3 I'm getting sleep of death. I thought I might've downloaded a bad image and/or had a bad flash so I downloaded it again and flashed again and still after awhile I get sleep of death... Back to CM I go :(

Edit: These were both clean flashes.
[Nexus 4 General] buru898:
Did you wipe data and factory reset after flashing?
[Nexus 4 General] Atari-:
I did a complete wipe, I came from CM10 and franco kernel I just used the factory image and cmd prompt to fastboot flash everything.
[Nexus 4 General] buru898:
Did you wipe again after that though?
[Nexus 4 General] wideasleep1:
Just wanted to verify using MSkip's Toolkit for the 4.3, full clean install. Afterwards, used Toolkit to update recovery to TWRP (cheat the toolkit and just say your running 4.2.2, since there is currently no other option). Used TWRP recovery to flash Chain's G+ post Daemon SuperUser, and I'm back to fully rooted stock. Now awaiting a viable LTE fix...
[Nexus 4 General] Atari-:
Hmm well no really, and the oddest thing is after I went through the initial process for adding my Google account when the phone first boots up I still needed to add it because it wouldn't appear in settings... In any case I was missing CM features, but I still loved 4.3 sleep of death and all. Maybe I'll try it again later and wipe after I flash.

Thanks though, I'll def try it.
[Nexus 4 General] casonswag:
Anyone know if late and audio is working with older radio?
[Nexus 4 General] leoluisguitar:
I just found this in some users instagram :eek: ... Is Google pulling the OTA update already? I've been trying clearing the cache trick with no success :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] bozzykid:
I'm confused by what you are saying. Are you saying you think they have pulled the OTA update because people are getting it? Nexus OTA updates generally take several weeks to roll out to everyone. Clearing the service framework cache doesn't mean you will get the OTA. It just helps reset your chances of getting it.
[Nexus 4 General] ScoolAir:
the OTA update and the factory image include the same things?

and more thing, after i flashed the factory image, to get my root back all i need its to flash the "SuperSU-JWR66N-S005-130625-1.41" and i`m done?

(I didnt downloaded until now, because the server was busy, load.)
[Nexus 4 General] BoneXDA:
Do you guys think the better benchmarks means less throttling and overall better heat and battery management? (which was kinda broke in 4.2).

How smooth 4.3 feels overall?
[Nexus 4 General] sujith1994:
i completely came back to stock and now when i check the update it says system is up to date!! :(
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Oh god why do people think that wiping over and over again is a useful thing? Just once. That's it.
[Nexus 4 General] Rohit02:
Many who have flashed the leaked rom are saying its smoother, snappier than 4.2.2. Benchmarks are just the numbers never trust them. It varies from ROM to ROM. Atlast performance matter with good battery backup. ;) wat say?:)
[Nexus 4 General] u.gr3y:
Ok so im somewhat of a noob at this. I've PA 3.69 + franco r165 on my N4. Ive flashed custom Roms countless times...its just dropping the ROM zip in a folder on the phone n installing it with the clockwork recovery. BUT, i cant understand how to flash the 4.3 :confused:

Never flashed a stock ROM before...and i have a hunch the clockwork recovery way isnt gonna work here

SO yeh :silly:
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Factory images are installed via Fastboot and not recovery.
[Nexus 4 General] u.gr3y:
Like i said...im at noob a this :)

Would really appreciate if someone could walk me through all the steps :)
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Power off phone

Hold vol- and power on phone

Plug in phone to PC

extract the factory image archive

Edit the flash_all.bat file and remove the -w from the fastboot update line

run flash_all.bat

Wait

Enjoy
[Nexus 4 General] u.gr3y:
So doesn't matter if i have a custom rom or a stock? Same procedure?
[Nexus 4 General] BoneXDA:
Nah, course it doesn't translate to app performance, but those Nexus 4 benchmakrs on 4.2 always looked lower to the practically same Optimus G on 4.1. So I'm wondering if the benchmark improvements are due to better heat management, resulting is less throttling.
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Doesn't matter at all, you could be running stock, CM, Ubuntu or Firefox. Factory image replaces all.

Thanks a lot :)

one question to those who are already running 4.3.

What's the date of pictures that have been copied from the pc to the phone? Is it the original date, the picture was taken or is it the date and time of the copy like in 4.2.2? Until now in the galery all pictures have the same date when I copy them to the phone, that's annoying....
[Nexus 4 General] Zeebz:
It's the date and time when you copied the picture to the phone.

Just got my N4 yesterday. really love it :D have it rooted and runnig custom kernel..gonna wait a bit for all the apps to be updated for 4.3 before updating ^^ This really changes from my first LG experience wher i had to wait a year to get an official ICS update xD
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Errr... what?
[Nexus 4 General] LeRaptor:
i heard some apps dont work well yet, perhaps i misread?
[Nexus 4 General] MelquiXDA:
Can I do this with locked bootloader?
[Nexus 4 General] Marcb:
Just unlock it, flash the image and lock it again...

If you don't want to lose your stuff, use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.segv11.bootunlocker
[Nexus 4 General] bozzykid:
It uses fastboot which is what you use to unlock the boatloader. So do fastboot oem unlock, then run the script. Power down again, go back into the bootloader and fastboot oem lock. Simple as that. It is going to wipe your data when you unlock but so is flashing the rom, so there is no point not to unlock if only temporarily.

The only app I have heard that crashes on 4.3 is Apex Launcher. I haven't read about any other incompatible apps. Since very little was changed in the API other than additions, I wouldn't expect to.

---------- Post added at 10:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 AM ----------

Of course, I've head all the Nexus phones so I've done it myself. But how many times it takes is random and depending on how fast they are pushing the rollout, it is not guaranteed to work.
[Nexus 4 General] LeRaptor:
Ah alright then, good to hear. what about SuperSU?

[Nexus 4 General] stuart0001:
Indeed. Titanium won't restore apps and some apps were struggling to read the virtual SD card. Completely unrooting solved the latter. No fix for the former yet.
[Nexus 4 General] CoolApps:
Then you may get a soft brick.

OTA's only contain the files that needs replacing and wipes dalvik cache and cache as a flash from this tool will wipe and rewrite ALL partitions such has blocks also writing the whole system partition.

---------- Post added at 08:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 PM ----------

Yep, Chainfire confirmed this and is working for a fix.

Root is broken for now due to the new security patches for really dangerous trojans, viruses and malware such has Skullkey which I believe uses the Android Master Key.
[Nexus 4 General] MariusWildfire:
is there a kernel for 4.3 with halfbreed color settings yet? maybe a beta or something else?
[Nexus 4 General] CoolApps:
Unfortunately I cannot contact the developer of MX Player in any way (Email, Twitter etc) so this cannot be fixed yet until the developer notices this.
[Nexus 4 General] elmonen:
Im almost certain that the developer is aware of the problem and its just a matter of to time when the app is updated :)

Yeah, the developer should start getting reports of these errors.

N4 16GB storage decreased to 8GB - Heads up

Guys. I flashed the .img files from the Google developers forum and I noticed that the downloaded .tar file didn't include the new radio/modem. I thought it wouldn't be an issue. So I flashed the files, booted up perfectly and everything. But the 16GB (12.8GB usable) was now reduced to 8GB (5.8GB usable). I was very worried. But then I downloaded the new radio, flashed it and everything was back to normal. Phew!

Just a heads up to happy flash-ers! :D

This happens sometimes (didnt happend when i flashed factory images of 4.2.2, but did happen when i did for 4.3). Going into recovery and wiping cache/factory reset fixed it though. :)

This thing has been bothering me for quite a while since I got my N4, I just never really go to asking the question. Whenever I keep my apps for updating, or for that matter, keep anything on download on WiFi, the download stops when the screen is off. I have the keep wifi on during sleep set to always, still no help. Anyidea on how to keep the downloads going without stopping?

Yes i know that, but i wasnt saying that i wanted to flash it with the custom kernel, i was saying in general if i should flash it xD but thanks for the heads up :)
[Nexus 4 General] LeRaptor:
okay so i ot the stock kernel back in and flashed the rom, everything went well. Now..i had CWM (v6.0.3.1 when i flashed) now everytime i reboot the device from the recovery it tells me "Rom may flash stock recovery on boot" so obviously i click ye - disable recovery flash. so boots up normally. But my question is, is there a fix so it doesent ask me everytime?
