Install OTA 4.2.1 update on stock N4 - The Easy Way!

First connect to WiFi and make sure you can access the web.
Next put the N4 into airplane mode.
Then go to Settings > Apps > All > Google Services Framework > Clear data
Take the N4 out of airplane mode and let it connect to WiFi.
After a few minutes, you will be prompted to install the OTA update.
If you are not prompted within 10 minutes, open the dialer and force a "checkin" by typing: *#*#2432546#*#*
After "checkin succeded" message, you should be prompted to install the update.
Enjoy!

Doesn't work for me.

You have to be standing in the bathroom for it to work.
No. But for real. Updates are pushed out in waves. If your device is not on the current wave you will not get the update. That's it.
Don't want to wait. Do it manually.

"Easy" is a relative term. Not everyone here, especially in the "General" forum is comfortable yet with flashing alternative recoveries or using abd, etc. This is meant for the novice and/or purist who does not want to alter the phone in order to receive and apply the update. This method does in fact work. Quite often the device is ready to receive the update, but the built in automatic & manual checkin fails to trigger the process. Clearing the GSF data forces the device to initiate it almost immediately, as opposed to waiting an undetermined amount of time for the device to resolve the issue on its own.
My advice to the audience who this is intended for: If this did not work for you now, try it again in a few hours or tomorrow, I assure you it will be much faster than waiting for it to happen naturally. In fact, to prove my point further, go ahead and try the manual checkin (under settings > about phone > system updates) first, each time, before you try this. You'll eventually see what I mean. FYI - Every Nexus device has behaved this way.

How come I can't get the update to install either in CWM or from OTA?? If I do OTA the phone reboots into CWM and I get an "assert failed" and installation aborted.... And if I manually go into CWM and "update from SD card" option I get the same issue!

Try wiping cache and dalvik then flash. It worked first time for me. Some custom Roms change build prop. I'm on stock rom

That means you removed genie widget.odex . put the file back or any other that you deleted and it will go through. I deleted currents, books, earth, genie, videos and a few more and it failed on the update and its because you have to have the same build prop or same apps back

You only need to clear data of google services framework, then check for updates. Rinse and repeat until it works - usually 1-5 times.
All those other steps aren't necessary.

For those who have altered build.prop, any way to fix beside completely going back to the original Google ROM img?

Worked for me thanks.
As I have CWM, CWM asked if I want to flash untrusted update - I said yes. After isntall, I rebooted back to Recovery (as it said something about restoring stock recovery while installing update). CWM was still there. I told CWM to reboot and it said 'you may have lost root'. I selected yes to fix root and it rebooted. all seems fine now.

Worked nicely!! Thanks

PH39img.zip not found or changed

In the course of switching the recovery to TWRP, I came across this error when I selected Fastboot while in HBoot. It doesn't seem to impact anything, but nonetheless I'm wondering if I should be concerned.
What exactly is PH39img.zip and why is Fastboot scanning for it?
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD

Its the name of the update package that comes from HTC...
Hboot automatically runs it...
It searches for it when you boot to hboot...
No worries

Moonshine, error:ADB FAILURE

Just looking to see if anyone else got this issue.
Tried live usb, live cd, and hdd install of ubuntu 32 bit 12.04.
Tried different roms and made sure fastboot was off, debugging check on and no lock code.
It will reboot to bootloader but the ADB part fails.
Any ideas?

I had the same problem and this worked for me, might not for you. My problem is caused by easy tether client installed on my laptop so when I plug in my phone I have to do this
1. Turn off development settings
2. Turn it back on
3. Check the use debugging box
4. Run adb from command prompt
My laptop runs windows 7 BTW

With the other method it does break hot reboot, I don't use it so it doesn't matter to me, also the method can be done right from terminal emulator, just follow the same command but instead of typing just revone you need to type revone.bin

So, came to the conclusion that my laptop does not like ubuntu for some reason. It will not recognize my device in ubuntu but is fine in windows.
I'm gonna try a live cd on my buddies laptop.
If I get it to recognize my phone, I'm gonna moonshine over revone. :thumbup:

My initial problem with device and moonshine was resolved by flashing stock rooted Rom, then everything worked fine. Completed and restored from backup. Think the issue with phone being seen and flashing was noted on the site somewhere that stock kernel was recommended or required.

I used the newest live cd 13 I think, the more stable and without all media crop version had bad wife drivers for me. I downloaded file, copied over only adb and fastboot to folder, though they would not see device, also don't think needed, then continued. Made sure debugging was turned on, also updated to latest. 35 supersu (don't think this had anything to do with it) only other difference would be computer hardware. It pissed me off for a while until I loaded vipers stock deodexed.
Good luck :sly:

I was getting the same ADP error. I talked to support on IRC, they said viper 1.1.0 is not supported for moonshine. Suggested doing RUU to go back to stock. In which case you would have to nandroid your rom, backup contents to computer. Relock phone, RUU, unlock phone again, moonshine, flash recovery, restore nandroid. I might wait till next release of viper rom to s-off.

I DID MINE WITH MACKS ROM, IF YOU HAVE A STOCK ROM NANDROID JUST RESTORE IT AND TRY AGAIN.watch your downloads on moonshine so you get the right firmware version for your rom, they were reversed fuses was notified, he might have changed it by now but check for sure anyway.

Help! CM 9/6 Nightly trouble

So I think I'm in trouble.
I guess I must have downloaded the 9/6 nightly RIGHT before they fixed the boot animation bug, so it won't boot, I don't have any other nightly zips on my phone, my computer won't recognize my device so I can't put another one on it. I've been looking up solutions and I'm seeing this stuff about ADB transfers but it says you have to enable USB de-bugging and I don't think I did before and I can't do it now. I'm a noob, but I can follow directions (lol), anybody got another way to file transfer? Or just maybe get my computer to recognize my phone?
Thanks in advance...I'm probably going to stop tinkering if/once this is back to normal.

[Q] Uninstalling stock Sprint apps?

I've used Titanium to uninstall a ton of the Sprint crap. But as soon as I reboot it redownloads everything.... How do we get around this?

Educated guess because it happens to me too, I would uncheck restore apps in the backup settings. Believe that the system thinks that the apps need to be reinstalled because they were backed up prior to you removing them.

If you still have SprintID installed you can go in there and delete the Sprint pack it removes most of the Sprint bloat

I did the same thing first night I got the phone. I would uninstall tons of crap apps and they all come back. The stock rom is secured and has system write protection enabled. The easiest way around this is to first s-off which you should anyway if your going to root. Next flash a custom rom or if you wanna stick with stock (I actually am staying stock for now to give the custom roms time to mature) then flash Captain Throw backs version over at themikmik. It's comes rooted out of the box and if you s-off you won't have any issues getting rid of bloat apps. Mine is squeaky clean. I couldn't believe how much crap they loaded it with. No issues with them coming back. If you stay s-on you need to flash a kernel patch which I did before s-off was available but I wouldn't recommend doing that.
