OTA help - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

*!HELP!* My good Android people, my ota arrived this morning! Good news however, I am rooted, have an unlocked bootloader, and have custom recovery installed. Do I need to unroot, relock, and flash the standard recovery again? Any advice is appreciated

Just flash stock recovery and unroot through SuperSU settings. No bootlader lock necessary.

That depends on the device (XT106?) and its current ROM version

I am using xt1068 just running standard 4.4.4. I have found one rather backhandedly; I will give it a go

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough.
Go to Settings>About phone>system version. There are multiple kitkat versions (mainly region specific).

Do u have original link ?
you can flash in a custom recovery if you are TOTALLY STOCK.
it's ok if you are rooted (though you'll probably lose root).
This will FAIL if you are on a deodexed stock rom.
If you are rooted and want to maintain root, then just flash a supersu flashable zip (google that for a link). after flashing the ota

It came from users who got the notification. Since there is only one variant of the N4, it is easy to tell it is the correct update.
Soooo if I flashed this and i lose root. Can I use wugfresh's toolkit to reroot?
Any way to flash and not lose root? Or is it easy to get root back with the toolkit?

I just asked that same question bud.
Update keeps failing for me. I was on Franco kernel, went back to stock kernel and wiped cache and Dalvik. Not sure what is going on.
Where can I find a stock 4.2.1 rom? I'm CM10.1 right now.
and when is the original OTA version coming? im using stock unrooted rom and i dont want to root

Huh? The OTA is here now. You don't need to root or unlock the bootloader to install it. Either wait for your phone to get the notification or install the SDK and use adb sideload.
can someone do me a favor and upload a copy of the file in system/lib named
libwebrtc_audio_preprocessing.so

Me, too. I was on faux's kernel and flashed back to stock after wiping cache and Dalvik and I'm getting a Status 7 error when trying to flash in CWM.

OTA Rootkeeper successfully brought back root access after I flashed the 4.2.2 update. As long as you have your root backed up prior to updating, you don't need to reflash supersu.
A question, I'm rooted running stock & am very familiar with flashing Roms but never an update like this / do I wipe anything when I flash or not?

This is my understanding too. Bear in mind that as soon as official updates are released a developer here will make it available on xda. This means you often get updates before you would normally (because they are rolled out at different times depending on carrier and region).

Once you install CWM, you can deodex your stock firmware without any problem :good:
No need to flash another ROM to do that.

Odexed roms work faster than deodexed. If you don't plan to modify your rom don't deodex it. Though there are many mods for odexed roms too.

The update is only for c5302 Sp models.... If you update your c5303 modern with .284 you will lose 4g connectivity but not much else.

how do you installed? do you have stock recovery or through twrp? are you s-off and unlocked bootloader?

You need to be completely stock to install update properly. S-off and locked/unlocked bootloader don't influence on update. I have bootloop if I lock my bootloader so I don't lock it before installing updates.
And if I posted that I have SuperCID - it automatically means that I have S-Off.

[Q] NB4 phone with SS and installing ROM

I got the NB4 update and was able to re-root via an older version of Kingo. Got SS installed and want to install a custom rom on the device. When i'm reading through the instructions, it wants me to flash via ODIN some files.
Can anyone explain on why I have to flash via ODIN files to get the ROM to install on SS? I did install one before and it didn't need and re-flashing.
Was the ROM you are trying to flash a KitKat ROM? Maybe the ROM required updated firmware?
Because you are flashing a KitKat ROM.
You need the BL, AP and CP to be flashed in Odin in order for the ROM to boot and function properly.
You will also have to flash the ROM to the stock slot or it will not work correctly.

I used the most recent kingo 1.2.2 a it gave me root, I had to make sure the I had no virus software's activated during the flashing or it would just sit there and do nothing and also make sure you put 10 min. on screen timeout............. Now all I need is to look for is some custom NB4 Rom's ( I think) 4.3 JB to flash and play, I finding that untill the OTA 4.4 KK gets rooted I won't venture forward........

If you are gonna use OTA update, your system must be unmodified : not rooted, not changing any system file (including boot logo), and using stock recovery.
