HELP PLEASE
I have seen the nexus 4 unroot toolkit, but i need some help.
I have a Nexus 4 running 4.2.2, TWRP, and Franco.Kernel.
i want to upgrade the Nexus 4 to 4.4 KitKat, i never had the chance to upgrade to 4.3 because i was rooted.
I do not mind loosing my root, franco.kernel or twrp, i just want to be able to get the new updates that are being released from google, and OTA if possible.
it is super important to me that i don't loose my apps and data.
Sorry if the question seems foolish/dumb, i am not an android expert. :silly:
Hello XDA Users,
I want to know that will my Nexus get system updates after rooting and unlocking the bootloader of it or I have to install them manually with recovery.
Thank You
You will have to side load them. This will most likely break root.

Better off unrooting bud. Easier in the long run.
Nothing is simpler than just flashing the files when available with fast boot. Its usually only a couple days til files are out...or even a flashable stock version.
No you dont need to relock bootloader when you update it relocks it but its easy to unlock i did it manually and it only took me 5 minutes

Hi
It's been a while since I've looked into this so would value your advice.
Nexus 5 running 4.4.2 rooted, unlocked and running Phil's touch recovery.
I've edited a couple of system files, build.prop & mixer_paths.XML to help with sound volumes. I have the original files still, if I can remember where they need copying back to..
The phone is now advising a software update to 4.4.3 is available.
What is the best way to do this, ideally keeping root etc.
Thanks. All help and advice is gratefully received.

The best and easiest way to update to 4.4.3 safely is making a nandroid of your 4.4.2 and flashing a custom 4.4.3 ROM that has pre root and dirty install over 4.4.2

Thanks.
I don't really want to run a custom ROM, I'd like to stick to rooted stock.
Any other options ?
Sorry if I've posted this in the wrong forum.

There is a 4.4.3 Stock ROM with SuperSU in the Android Development section. (The ROM is large also).
And for that you need to open new thread. It's sticky 4.4.3 questions or whatever goes there and no need for new thread! Sorry but next time read a little and respect comunity rules.

Sorted.
Downloaded the stock rooted ROM and su.
Flashed both from recovery. No wiping.
And seems to be working fine.

Can i install the OTA updates in my rooted nexus without doing unroot? I have android 5.1 ruining in my phone and yesterday I got the OTA update for 5.1.1..... Plz do help me and please do tell me the process if possible....
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. The ota will not work if you're rooted or have made any system changes. You have to be 100% stock. See this which is dedicated to ota on the nexus 5, http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/info-nexus-5-ota-help-desk-t2523217.
