hello, right now i'm using miui rom (android 4.2.2). i want to install a 4.4.2 rom. where can i find firmware and how can i install?
You may need to flash the radio , recovery and bootloader flrst but what I did was flash the official update from Google
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
That's the link to the site update via adb there's loads of info on hear and youtube on how to do this.
Then flash a custom recovery and root again there's loads of info on how to do this.
Doing it this way makes everything on official 4.4.2 recovery, bootlader and radio so you shouldn't run into any problems later.

Currently on a 4.2.2 custom kernel and rom. I was wondering if I actually had to go through the hassle of relocking and flashing the stock 4.3 image or can I just flash the radio and bootloader on their own and then flash one of the pre-rooted 4.3 roms?
Is there anything in the stock image besides the radio and bootloader that won't be found in one of the 4.3 roms that are being released?
You technically don't even need to update your boot loader or radio. I used the 4.3 leak just by flashing the rooted ROM. When the official 4.3 was released, I just flashed the new boot loader and radio in recovery and flashed the ROM. No problem.

I guess there is no need for relocking your phone!
You can flash the leaked rooted ROM version.. Just look in development forum!

So I have a rooted stock ROM nexus 4 with flashed baseband from the prev 4.2 version to allow me to turn on LTE connectivity. My concern is I got the ota update notification will I run into problems my phone being rooted and with a different baseband version or will it all configure itself with the update? Also is it still possible to flash baseband back to android 4.2 version to get LTE connectivity? I also have a custom recovery clockwork mod will this error out the update? Thanks for your help

The custom baseband or recovery could cause an OTA update to fail. Flashing either would be simple enough to allow the update to pass the patch assertions and complete.

Your phone will not update thru ota, but you have cwm, why dont you download a stock 4.3. Zip and flash tru cwm?
Those zip files are without modem So your LTE modem will stil be there
For ota you need stock ROM, stock kernel and matching radio of the ROM

Hello yea so when I read these posts I already have attempted the update and sure enough it failed I tried thought the ota update and I also tried downloaded the zip file with the update and attempted to flash it using cwm but it still gives me the error and won't update do you think I should flash the original baseband for 4.2.2? And will work?

Hi, I'm on uxylon 4.2.2 and I wanna go to PSX 4.3. I have twrp installed, im assuming I have to flash a new baseband and modem before the ROM?
Can I flash them through trwp?
And where do I find the download links for them?
or can I just install the 4.3 ROM without updating anything?
Thanks

You dont have to do it, but its recommended to update your bootloader and radio to the newer versions.
Downloads: bootloader and radio.
To install simply flash them through TWRP. Then do a full wipe and flash the 4.3 rom of your choice.
I've a 4.3 stock rom installed from the box for my s4 let version . I want to install a custom rom. In order to do that I need to install a custom recovery that I'm unable to flash. It does flash but it does not boot into recovery. It only restarts my phone. Knox New security is messy. Any idea guys. Need help urgently?

You would have to flash the jb baseband also.
