The noob question: when OTA is available, although recommended, can I install it without factory reset and losing all my precious settings and data?
[Nexus 4 General] MersauX:
Flashed KRT16S over KRT16O, no problems for now. :)
[Nexus 4 General] unreal_ishan:
430 mb download over a 2mbps connection :(
[Nexus 4 General] StuMcBill:
So removing the -w switch will preserve all my apps, data etc? I thought it just kept the contents of the sdcard partition?
[Nexus 4 General] manpildo:
At first I tried your method with the exception that I also erased cache and flashed over the bootloader and radio. Nothing else, and it bootlooped.

Then I tried to do a proper flash minus the -w parameter to preserve my data. Result? Bootloop again.

I had to do the full procedure with wipe to get it to boot :rolleyes: Wonder what I did wrong?
[Nexus 4 General] Green-Bot:
I guess, we are not. When you'll receive the OTA, it might look too much to download, but as we already flashed KRT16O, system will will only upgrade from KRT16O to KRT16S. It should do it fast & quickly. Just wait and experience it.
[Nexus 4 General] xda_emanuel:
Hey guys, can someone confirms that all bugs on the old version are gone?
[Nexus 4 General] Jazavchar:
Nope. I don't notice any difference between versions, as much as I'd like to.
[Nexus 4 General] Green-Bot:
As of now, KRT16S is running absolutely fine. WiFi & the tethering function (which was having issues on some devices with KRT16O) is working fine now. No performance lags. Everything seems to be fully functional. Go and flash it without any fear/Doubts.
[Nexus 4 General] xda_emanuel:
Ok thank you even though you are discordant. Anyway for example, the lag on the notification bar in the lockscreen is still there or it was fixed?
[Nexus 4 General] xenios:
Got the OTA today for my Nexus 10, still waiting for the Nexus 4.

Odd thing is as I read a post on androidpolice of somebody that got the OTA and flashed it while with custom recovery without any changes.

I tried it and whaddayaknow, it restarted in TWRP, installed update and rebooted back and everything works part from root that's missing the binary. So just one step to do now.

Is there some magic with the latest TWRP going on?

Update: TWRP was replaced by stock recovery
[Nexus 4 General] Jazavchar:
The notification bar lag on lockscreen is still there, at least on my phone.
[Nexus 4 General] manpildo:
Still there.
[Nexus 4 General] Green-Bot:
Discordant......well i disagree 100% :) exp it urself and let me know bro. I know you'll agree to me later on....Thanks for your support..!!

[Nexus 4 General] ciprianruse88:
New bootloader and radio with the update?
[Nexus 4 General] manpildo:
If you have disabled lockscreen widgets then quickly pulling down the notification window lags.

No
[Nexus 4 General] lightphoenix:
New bootloader, radio is the same (.97)
[Nexus 4 General] Green-Bot:
No[/QUOTE]

Radio is same as earlier. Bootloader is new as can be seen in the attached text file extracted from KRT16S factory image.
[Nexus 4 General] matthewgwilt:
Just wait for the OTA then you won't lose any data
[Nexus 4 General] moon-unit:
No problems here but I didn't have a problem on the last factory image either....

smooth as butter whether widgets are enabled or not
[Nexus 4 General] Salty Wagyu:
MAKOZ30d is the same as in KRT16O, so no need to reflash I guess. They didn't update the filenames of the radio and bootloader to reflect the new versions for some reason.
[Nexus 4 General] slybunda:
i got ota showing in the uk now on me nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
Can anyone confirm if the unlock after missed call on slide lock bug is fixed in the update?
[Nexus 4 General] StuMcBill:
Grab the link!!
[Nexus 4 General] RealiZms:
So if we're already on KRT16O we'll still receive the update to KRT16S????
[Nexus 4 General] jamesking420:
I have flashed the original 4.4 image, flashed a custom recovery and root.

Questions 1: Will the OTA work for me?

Questions 2: Alternatively, will I need someone to make a zip file from the OTA?

Thanks,

James
[Nexus 4 General] Green-Bot:
Same here bro, No notifications windows lags Whatsoever :)
[Nexus 4 General] xenios:
As I said before:

With the latest TWRP recovery the OTA appeared and installed without a hitch. I lost root though so you will have to re-root. That was a nogo on previous OTA's for me.

Update: TWRP was replaced by stock recovery
[Nexus 4 General] jamesking420:
That's great, thanks for the confirmation.
[Nexus 4 General] matthewgwilt:
Oh right yeah I see what your saying... Hopefully but I suppose the KRT16S is the official build that is publicly sent out so we'll see. I'm on KRT16O build too and I hear its being pushed out to UK now
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
Can someone please test this for me on the new update?...

1. Make sure lock screen is using the regular slide lock (no pattern/pin)

2. Lock phone (turn screen off)

3. Call you phone from another phone or PC, don't touch your phone. End the call from the other phone/PC.

Does the screen still go to the home screen (unlock) or does it stay locked now?
[Nexus 4 General] blaraka:
I flashed "s" factory image without "-w" over "o" 4.4. So far so good (I just had to reroot it) but as I am very new to Android: are there some common problems occuring when you flash your device without userdata wipe? I don't have time at the moment to reconfigure my device but I am a little bit worried that because of what I did it will start to lag or sth.
[Nexus 4 General] Jazavchar:
Just tested it for you. The phone unlocks and goes to the homescreen.
[Nexus 4 General] RealiZms:
I'm pretty sure we will....Even though it's 4.4 it's still a newer build than we have being pushed OTA. Similar to how we updated from JWR16V to JWR16Y. So with that logic if you're running an O build you should get the S build OTA.
[Nexus 4 General] blaraka:
Home screen, unlocked.
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
Thanks man, that really sucks:( guess I'll be waiting till cataclysm updates
[Nexus 4 General] Green-Bot:
Wiping data partition is recommended ofcourse. But it's not necessary everytime.There are cases when after flashing a ROM your phone starts Bootloops endlessly. In those cases, wiping data & cache partition works and phone comes out of the bootloop.

Since your phone is working fine, so its perfectly all right. However if you don't have time right now, you can do the data partition wiping later on after taking data backup. Do not worry at all and rebooting your phone during this process is absolutely normal :)
[Nexus 4 General] simone9229:
I just noticed the lockscreen notification lag will go away if you use another widget instead of the stock clock. Dashclock for example.

Still not as smooth as 4.3 imho

Inviato dal mio Nexus 4 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Nexus 4 General] 433Mhz:
yeah, the lag is still there. It goes away if I use the tiny flashlight widget instead of the big clock for example.
[Nexus 4 General] simone9229:
Look that you notice the lag the most not when you pull down the notification center but when it goes back up after you selected a notification. If you do a comparison of this, you'll notice that the lag is (almost completely) gone using Dashclock.

By the way Google still needs to fix it

Anyone know the new features in the new build?
[Nexus 4 General] leximu5:
If no critical bugs are fixed with the update, I will pretty much wait for the OTA, KRT16O is working pretty good for me, so far.
[Nexus 4 General] shotta35:
It's simply some APN for Canada and France updates and 1 change to the kernel.

[Nexus 4 General] Kaanu74:
Can anyone show me how to upgrade easily from o to s. I'm rooted and i dont wanna lose userdata. :thumbdown:
[Nexus 4 General] anto.danny:
there is actually no benefit by flashing the update..all its got is a few apn whatever changes and something related to screen snapshot in terms of kernel (someone correct me if am wrong)..the home screen button lag is starting to tick me off :mad:
[Nexus 4 General] moon-unit:
I don't have a problem with my home button, it reacts as quickly and smoothly as the others do... maybe you have an app or a widget that is causing the issue??
[Nexus 4 General] monkeypaws:
Someone needs to stop spreading this around. Its also bug fixes and changes to kernel.
[Nexus 4 General] Jazavchar:
So what bugs does it fix, and what changes to the kernel does it bring? Care to point it out?

So far it seems to me it's pretty similar to the JWR66Y update on 4.3 - that is, no major, user facing changes.
[Nexus 4 General] Primetime_de:
Hoped that the "delayed notification bug" had been fixed, but it isn't...
[Nexus 4 General] shotta35:
Did you look at the changes. It spells out EVERY single change made to the source since the last KRT16O. I also did mention there was a simple change to the kernel which was update the prebuilt version:

https://android.googlesource.com/device/lge/mako-kernel/+/daa498456e695773fe5922d739b68b2ed6d9a1ee

That's straight from the source.
[Nexus 4 General] defffizz:
So I downloaded new factory image and flashed only system.img and boot.img. No need for flashing bootloader and radio? I'm coming from the first factory image

[Nexus 4 General] NoLunchBox_:
Wow of course lol

Thanks
[Nexus 4 General] opssemnik:
there are some changes to kernel also, and this version do not lag on my n4 :DDD
[Nexus 4 General] Rafase282:

How can i flash?

thanks
[Nexus 4 General] Rafase282:
Well I haven't flash them yet I was trying to solve the no WiFi issue which was due to ask kernel not being compatible. I did check the text files and they required the radio and boot loader from the first kk release but the names of the actual radio and boot loader were lower if you follow the alphabet
[Nexus 4 General] RobertSand:
Yes
[Nexus 4 General] rzrv8:
So, what you're saying is that people who are already on KRT16O just flash your boot.img and done? No need to download the 427MB image?
[Nexus 4 General] Jazavchar:
Nope. The radio is still .97, it's just that they named it wrong in the factory image.
[Nexus 4 General] Rafase282:
I just flashed the system,img without formatting, then if you want stock kernel then flash the boot.img and that's it.
[Nexus 4 General] florisson:

[Nexus 4 General] Rizy7:
TWRP has allowed us to do this since I can remember. Some people seem to have this pre conceived idea that an OTA will absolutely not work unless you are completely stock. As you have found out TWRP actually lets us OTA but unfortunately if you have CWM it does not work as of yet.

[Nexus 4 General] allbass:

[Nexus 4 General] Green-Bot:
You can flash using fastboot as your bootloader is already unlocked. Make sure fastboot is working.

Here are the fastboot commands:

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-mako-makoz10o.img (name as per filename)

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash radio radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.48.img (name as per filename)

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot

First reboot will take time as system builds dalvik cache during this first reboot.

For more help, just follow this excellent article by efrant http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2010312

Go out and happy flashing.

Lately I have been using the Maclaw 's CM 10.2 build 20131119, the ROM works perfectly, with the exception of the following :

I am using CM10.2 on Brazilian Portuguese and the quick settings access buttons on the notification bar go missing in portrait mode, however in landscape mode it works fine.

I already tested it on English, and it works fine so I believe it is a bug exclusive to Portuguese.

Hello,

I am considering getting myself a XDA Exec. At the moment I use a handheld with Windows Mobile 2002/2003 for Pocket PC, and it is packed full of software- utils, aps and games.

I am concerned that if I were to get a XDA Exec I will miss much of the lovely software. Or does the PPC software run under WM2005?

In fact does the XDA Exec run WM2005 for PPC or for Mobiles?

Sorry if I seem extremely ignorant ;o)

Cheers
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
WM2005 = Windows Mobile 2005.

WM2003se (the last Pocket PC version) was rename to WM2003, so it is also Windows Mobile.

WM2003 and older Pocket PC software should generally be compatible, you'll be unlucky if it doesn't run. But some sofware, particularly system software like Today plugins, often have problems. But the majority of software should be fine.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jordanmoore:
Hi guys,

I was developing an application over the summer, using the Nexus 4, as part of a workshop designed for school kids. The university is looking at purchasing a bunch of phones to run the workshop on and suggested the Nexus 5 to me as a replacement for the Nexus 4, which I've been told they can't get anymore.

I'd really appreciate it if I could send my APK to somebody and they could let me know a "yep, works!" or a "nope, broken". I think it should work as the Snapdragon 800 claims to support the Snapdragon SDK Facial Processing... but I would obviously like to confirm this before giving the ok to spend a whole bunch of money. It should literally take a few seconds after the APK has been installed.

No worries if not. I wouldn't be all to comfortable installing APKs from an untrusted source either, but I figured it to be worth a shot as I don't presently know anybody with the device to ask!

Cheers,

Jordan

And it upgraded to KRT16S OK?

I was on KRT16O, TWRP, and SuperSU, was a bit worried about running the OTA, but my Nexus 7 2013 OTA'ed OK so I went for it, but I was left with KRT16O. Tried using ADB Sideload via TWRP but the sideload completed with "Failed" indication.

Restored via Nandroid and am now back to KRT16O with the OTA waiting for me :)

What next? Is there something simple I might be missing, or must I go for the full Factory image method?

Mvh
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] planet_x69:
So step by step:

Pull the full stock 4.4 image from here : https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#mantaray

open it and pull out from the zip in the rar the recovery.img, move a copy to your adb folder along with a copy of your custom recovery ( for discussion sake I'll use twrp.recovery.img)

Put copy of the patch in the adb folder and rename it to a short name like krt16s.zip

Boot into bootloader

>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (flashing now our stock recovery)

once successful just use your volume buttons to go into stock recovery and wait for the dead droid to appear, once you see dead droid

hit power and volume up together, this will bring up the stock recovery menu,

use the volume down to select load from adb, then hit power to select this will bring up a orange text telling you how to sideload a file

from your PC:

>adb sideload krt16s.zip

wait for it to be successful then reboot to validate when done,

Reboot again to bootloader

>fastboot flash recovery twrp.recovery.img

this will again return you to your custom recovery and you will need to reflash su to regain root

hope this helps and is clear

inside that image zip I see...

android-info.txt

boot.img

cache.img

recovery.img

system.img

userdata.img

So the recovery.img is what you say to pull out right? Which is the "OTA file" to rename to a shorter name? In other instructions you list a krt16s.zip.

I have run the fastboot reboot-bootloader and that works. so I'm ready for the

fastboot flash recovery recover.img <- but I am not 100% sure if the recovery.img in the image-mantary-krt16s.zip is the one to use

then next after the 15s, and another fastboot reboot-bootloader, to prep for the adb sideload ota.zip

where does i get that.. or what do I use for that??
