Back on stock, update in twrp? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I restored a backup of the stock rom in TWRP. Now an update by google is pushed to my device. It is around 1 MB. Can I install it in TWRP? And how to do so?

Download the appropriate update zip from here. Yours is probably the 4.3-JWR66Y-from-JWR66V.
Boot into twrp and flash it.

So I am not able to install the downloaded file in TWRP? And it is the stock rom I am already using without losing anything?

You are able to install it via TWRP. You can download the file from the link above. After flashing you shouldnt lose anything, but make a nandroid backup just in case.

Oh sorry. Well yes you can do that, im just not sure what location that file is downloaded to. (Try googling, or maybe someone else knows where is located)
But the one from the link i provided above should be the same as the one that will be downloaded from the system update straight to your phone.

You must disable "signature verification" if you want to flash ota update on any recovery but stock.
I see you have clockworkmod, so that's why it's failing. It might be in " advanced," Or "install zip from sdcard"
if not look through each menu till you find "toggle signature verification"

No, the error states that the build.prop isn't as expected, I.e. he's done some modifications and due to that the update fails.
-> he needs to flash the full update manually, probably leaving out the /data partition to keep the apps and their data or at least he needs to revert the build.prop modifications.

Will the upgrade work if I put the original build.prop file back in the system directory? If so can someone post a vanilla file so I can compare and then replace to try it?

If you didn't change anything else, it should work, otherwise you will stick at a different point. About the build.prop: Didn't you make a backup? Every time you modify something of the system, you should make a backup before. Unfortunately I don't have the original one, but probably you can extract it from the stock image.

Here's the build.prop from JRO03D https://www.dropbox.com/s/j5d396wnc8fqnc1/build.prop. If restoring that does not work, follow AndDiSa's advice and flash the full update manually except for /data.
Yep that fixed it. Think there's a crc type check done on the upgrade. Changed the res back to get the tablet ui and all is joyous in the world. Thanks for everyone's help.

This is so annoying

This is the third time this has happened now. I flash a ROM on my N7 then i look to restore a backup and it says file not found. But I've made a backup! How the hell can i fix this?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Is the backup made in 4.1.2 and the new rom is 4.2 (or the other way around) ?
If yes, then I'm sorry to inform you that the path where the backup reside is different in 4.1.2 and 4.2 ... so there are some steps required to use the respective files. More than that, switching in between 4.1.2 and 4.2 will require you to alter the mounting points.
No I'm on 4.2 and did a backup of stock using cwm. Now cwm cant find my backup

What version of CWM.. This is a known bug on a older version. I would suggest you check that maybe even re-download and flash cwm again. Get it from cwm web site not the one in rom manager self install....
Good Luck
I got the latest one, i will flash the stock image again. Third time lucky! Thanks for your help

Just tried again. no backups found. but when looking in my SD i have a backup. What should i mount to be able to restore?

Do we have official clockworkmod recovery?

Got an update notification from the Play Store on rom manager app and then the newest update it says supports Loki. When you open rom manager and go to set up recovery it actually has the AT&T galaxy s4 in there. I was wondering if anybody use it or it safe to use?

Ram manager has always caused for issues then it has been worth. I would stick to doing things manually. This way if something goes wrong you know it was something you did.

If you don't want to use rom manager do it manually. It looks like standard and touch are both available.

The download files are Zip's. You'll need to flash them in a custom recovery, ie twrp or cwm. Do some more research before you flash anything. This thread isn't very good for someone not familiar with flashing.

Read up first. Odin is for installing stock firmware. There are no short cuts. Plenty of threads on this.

The img files are used in goo. I'd download the zip file, recoveries on the download page and flash that in my recovery. That assumes you have a custom recovery and you want to update it.

Please be more clear... If your are already on a custom recovery and want to change for ex currently on cwm and want to change it to twrp just flash the twrp zip and reboot, done. (Though not sure as I am still confused about your question)
You just flash a new recovery using fastboot, same as you did flashing the first custom recovery

This is why you shouldn't use a toolkit as then have no idea how to do anything yourself. Learn how to use fastboot/adb and you'll be a better person for it

it's not rolled out to everyone at the same time.
if it's that urgent, download the flashable zip's from the development thread and flash 'em. There's also a factory image available from Google that you can flash from your computuer.

It's not urgent or anything. It's just that I see threads around saying that they got the 4.4.3 update so I was a bit worried....

LOL, in that case I'm not surprised that you haven't received OTA yet btw, you can find stock Google images here:

definitely or you can download and flash 4.4.3 factory image
Lets be honest here you have 2 choices its either wait and no one here can tell you when you will get the update or just flash images... Or my bad third choice root and flash stock zips out there. Keep rebooting if you are worried about it or keep checking if you have a check for update section. Hard to believe anyone with a N4 that does not root it.... Good Luck my friend

If you don't have the stock 4.4.2 kernel you will have to flash that first. The radio shouldn't matter

Use the link I gave you earlier. It'll flash the full factory image except for recovery and userdata. It does not wipe the device

Just use wug toolkit to flash the OTA zip and root after again.
A few computer clicks is all that it takes.
Only things you need to start is to have ready at your device, the zip files of ota and supersu.

OTA update are performed in batches, so after several days, you will get the OTA update, if unsuccessful, you will be shifted to another batch of updates.
