Yes I do. I've checked it and unchecked it to no avail.
[Nexus 4 General] arffrhn:
Go into fastboot mode (Vol down+power). Navigate and choose recovery mode.

Navigate using vol rocker and press power button to select.

When you see the android with red exclamation mark, press and hold power then press vol up button. It will take you to recovery menu.

In there, select factory reset and wipe cache.

Reboot. Done.
[Nexus 4 General] droopanu:
well ....I did not want to risk it, so I deleted the userdata.img from the archive and all went well!

my data is still there :)
[Nexus 4 General] sordna:
Are you absolutely sure the bootloader is locked? An update might cause you to lose root and custom recovery, but it will NOT lock your bootloader. If you locked it yourself and don't have root to run the Boot Unlocker app, you can try this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2266928

fastboot oem unlock (but DO NOT reboot into the system)
fastboot flash (or boot) some_custom_recovery.img
Wipe cache in custom recovery, which should prevent wiping of the phone.

hopefully you will not lose data with this, but can't guarantee it of course. Backup first, with adb or helium to be safe.
[Nexus 4 General] kr33p0:
Thanks, I was doing that but to no avail, I never entered any menu in the stock recovery and my phone would simply turn off. I read on another thread that it takes many attempts for some people yet I have never been able to. I did however fix it somehow and now I am all good. TX again.
[Nexus 4 General] mj56gt:
You saved my headache!!!

For some reason, I thought the update would lock the bootloader. You're right, it didn't. And I only lost custom recovery and root, which are very easy to flash again.

Thanks again for the kind help! Have a nice day...
[Nexus 4 General] bankmaggot:
I just wanted to add my experience with this install.

When you extract the ROM/image at your adb folder, the extract creates a folder ...\occam-krt160. This is where the batch file lives. Note that "fastboot" lives in the folder above where the image lives if your following the directions of OP. I had to copy the fastboot file along with two .dll file to the ...\occam-krt160 folder to run the batch file. I think i had to reboot once because it didn't see y phone. kept on saying <waiting for phone>. The install works fine.

Much PROPS to the OP.

After the install I don't see any of my apps? It's like a fresh install. I'm going to have to find a way to install my apps back on. I did a backup when i migrated from 4.2 to 4.3. I guess thats better than starting from scratch. I don't quite know how to do it. but with the help from these great folks, i'm sure i'll find a way.

Thanks to all contributors.

EDIT: It looks like my apps are still here. The home screen apps icons are just missing. Yeah!
[Nexus 4 General] pjc123:
Thanks. After the Android 4.4 OTA did absolutely nothing, this allowed me to update to 4.4 without any loss of data, apps, settings, etc. Best of all it is a super quick and easy method.

I flashed the factory image with nexus 4 toolkit, and I have many bugs in the camera. when I take a picture you see it blurry and restart the device.
[Nexus 4 General] :
So here's what I've noticed when compared to the N5 port from before the factory image:

No Transparency in lockscreen (hope the GEL fixes this too)

Old ringtones and notification sounds

Old wallpapers

"Home" item in Settings
[Nexus 4 General] carepack:
try to reflash. no problems here.

super su works!
[Nexus 4 General] jcnbama:
Yes this is Googles factory image a.k.a. ROM. This is not a cooked ROM. If you flash it you can still unlock and root. It appears the same rooting method works as with the 4.3 update.

Anyone flashed custom recovery and rooted yet?
[Nexus 4 General] carepack:
and once again:

hangouts and messaging are in. the normal email app is in too. Don't know if it's the aosp one.

for new google launcher:

1. Google Search http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...y-fixes-gel-on-tablets-and-more-apk-download/

2. Experience Launcher http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...once-you-get-your-kitkat-update-apk-download/

Flash in this order

after that it looks like the n5 port.
[Nexus 4 General] :
You should read the thread first. The radio is new, just has the old name.
[Nexus 4 General] stevew84:
Finally its going thru the motions now...hopefully it will boot in a few.

[Nexus 4 General] carepack:
haven't went back to n5 port :)
[Nexus 4 General] coffinpsalms:
Used adb to flash system, userdata, boot, and radio. Skipped recover so I could keep CWM. Everything went well, so I installed GEL and updated search. Much much faster than the N5 port, seems faster than 4.3 stock after switching to ART. The only thing I've noticed is that it's telling me I only have a total of ~5GB storage and I should have 16. I've tried wiping cache and dalvik, to no avail. Any ideas on that?
[Nexus 4 General] rbj13:
Go to recovery and do a factory reset and I think that'll fix the problem.
[Nexus 4 General] kicksilver:
Nice!

Can't wait for the flashable zip with root. :)
[Nexus 4 General] brushmate:
No, I stay as vanilla as possible.

Does someone know if Koushik Dutta's superuser app works? Didn't work with the N5 port.
[Nexus 4 General] lazer155:
Would there be any difference between flashing this image or using a flash able zip when it is available? When 4.3 was leaked I thought there was a difference in the image and flash able zip because of something like RILs missing.
[Nexus 4 General] carepack:
super su works a little bit better. some apps need them like viper audio

[Nexus 4 General] djsubterrain:
Can't get this to install, I've used the flashall.bat, it all shows as successful but when trying to boot it just sits at the boot animation.

I've also tried unpacking all the img files and flashing them one by one, they all seem to be successful, even managed to flash the latest cwm recovery which shows up but the bugger just won't boot. Anyone else had this?

I shoulda just waited until SlimBean included all the new stuff :'(

Here's the log (I even edited the .bat file so I could see what it was doing)..

I just don't see why it's going wrong, I was running SlimKat before which was working great, CWM Touch was running fine too.

Yup, stuck there. Flashing a couple more times and then I'll try downloading again.

I had that, coming from the N5 port. Figured it was because I didn't wipe, so I re-ran the factory images with a wipe.

For those who get stuck at the spinning google screen, boot back into the bootloader and try locking and then unlocking it, simply using:

you have to wipe data and all be working again. after flashing the image, just go to recovery and wipe data, cache and dalvik (last two i'm not sure needed but hey, won't hurt)

[Nexus 4 General] androidEVOlution:

[Nexus 4 General] Mercado_Negro:
Touch boost isn't working properly on the port. Compass isn't working either. Binaries are a crucial part in Android so the factory images will do a better job, performance-wise.

Did you flash it using the script or fastboot commands including userdata image? If you also wiped your storage then just reboot to recovery and do a factory reset (if you're using TWRP just format your /data partition).

[Nexus 4 General] caarlos3_:

[Nexus 4 General] kzoodroid:
that sometimes happens when you flash the factory images. One method of correcting it is to go into stock recovery and select factory reset and it will restore it back to 16 GB. of course this will completely wipe the phone. Not sure if there is a way to do it without wiping the data but there are a number of threads in the general section discussing this so I would suggest to search them first and see if there is a way to do it without wiping data if that is a concern of yours.

Okay found this from efrant's guide:

If you have a 16GB device, and it now shows up as 8GB, reboot into recovery (hold power and press volume up when you are at the screen with the android and the red exclamation mark), and wipe cache. If that still doesn't work, boot back into recovery and do a factory reset (which will obviously delete all your data & files in /sdcard...).
[Nexus 4 General] Mercado_Negro:
Then do a factory reset and wipe cache in recovery.

Ok, here is the thing....

First off, my phone is an AT&T SGS III running "The Devils Reject_v7" just fine. The application I am referring to in the title is UltimatePoker, a licensed Poker site in Nevada. The requirement is that your cellphone needs to be located and trackable in the State of Nevada to participate in playing online poker.

Now, this works fine with the above mentioned ROM. It is an Android v4.1.1. Now, whenever I try to upgrade to a version higher then that, i.e. 4.2, 4.2.2, 4.3, The login into the Poker site will fail with the message "Cellphone cannot be located" switching back to the above ROM will allow access again.

Here what I tried so far...

1. Changed the Modem to different versions on the above ROM....no difference, still working

2. Changed the ROM and applied all different modems I could find .... No Success, it always failed.

My question would be,

1. What difference is between rooted Stock and "The Devils Reject_v7" which prevents stock from being found?

2. If it is some mod in the kernel, can this mod be implemented in rooted stock or even in never versions of android.

I know, this is not really a topic many folks might be interested in, but maybe someone will just look at it....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DMF1977:
Firstly, you're in the wrong section, this should probably be in q/a, but anyhow, some people have problems with GPS when upgrading to higher versions, and i'm assuming the app uses gps to track, so have u confirmed it working before running the app?
