4.4.2 Failed - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried to load the update via TWRP. I get installation failed. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I am installing it the same way I installed 4.4.1

You changed something. Dpi, build.prop?? Fastboot flash system and boot images

I didn't change anything. Just rooted. Everything else is stock

well first you must tell us exactly what you have done so far.
otherwise nobody can help you.

Mine failed too. I got an update today and as I'm updating, I got an "error" midway through. Now when I go under settings, it'll say "your system is up to date", yet I'm still running 4.4.
Now what? Did I lose my chance to update? lol
Edit: Does being rooted have anything to do with it?

Rooted is ok, but what did you do with root? If you changed anything, or froze system apps it won't work

My problem was the AOSP browser. I uninstalled that and the update went through

Sorry I know I'm not helping at all, but really, that made my day.
More information. What ROM, do you have a custom recovery? If you have stock recovery then the ota def updated itself. If your stock rooted then it will do that without asking

Repeat the rooting process again.

Please help!!!

Man,
My questions must be so stupid that I can't even get someone to respond!
When trying to flash certain things using CWM, I am prompted to install an “untrusted zip"...
Has anyone experienced this and is it safe to install untrusted ???
Please help

Is whatever you're flashing stated as compatible with your device/made for your device? Have you tried flashing with a different recovery (If available)?
I have Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 and was trying to flash the nexus 4 boot animation..
This happened a few days ago when I tried to flash some of the android 4.2 system dump.
Both times it says “ install untrusted zip". I just tried to toggle verification and that did not help.
Thanks for helping

You might as well just make a backup and then flash .

No. It's not safe to run untrusted.zip. It may be contained with viruses and may screw up your phone or PC. Only run files with actual names because you don't know if it's good or bad. It can crash your phone, not to mention your PC.

"Untrusted" is not the file name. The recovery is just stating that the file is "untrusted" since its not official from the manufacturer.
Hopefully your phone is rooted, if it's not I can't help ... make sure you have an unlocked bootloader and install Rom Toolkit from Google Play. Rom Toolkit has a bunch of boot animations for free, including the nexus 4 animation. Also, it will install these from the app itself - much easier than doing it in CWR.

Hey rookie, welcome to xda!
While I've got your attention..
Can you guys help me with something else??
I'm running jellywiz RLS12, yesterday I flashed a 4.2MOD pack over jellywiz. After flashing it, I realized I didn't want it. I tried to research how to “unflash" stuff but was unsuccessful, ended up having to do a factory reset and reinstall jellywiz.
Any pointers on how to do this more effectively??
Thank you!

If you do not have a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) installed then yes it should install successfully.

And what if you do have a custom recovery installed? I rooted, unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM for backups. Haven't done a custom rom yet -- just installed a few apps that required root.
Any ideas on what the OTA update will do?

I'm wondering the same thing...
The same as what happens on every other OTA, it will fail upon trying to install and you'll notice because your phone will be in CWM or TWRP.

And how do I disable CWM or TWRP? I used EZ-Recovery & EZ-Unlock originally. I see a "stock" option in EZ-Recovery. Would I select that, hit flash, then select reboot recovery? And on EZ-Unlock would I just select the "lock" option?
Thanks!
---------- Post added at 11:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 AM ----------
FYI: Just read this over at Droid Life:
"For anyone interested, I was rooted and had EZ-Recovery installed. When my S3 rebooted it went to the recovery after the update "failed". It gave me the option to apply the zip and I did so. and it even asked me if I wanted to fix root (I did not do this part). When the phone booted it stated that the update had failed, but in checking my Android version is definitely says 4.1.1."

Use EZ Recovery to flash the stock recovery. No need to re-lock your bootloader since the OTA should do that for you if you haven't installed anything that would cause it to fail like Google Wallet or CWM/TWRP.
I know many people prefer to Odin to a stock ICS image then take all the OTA's so that's another option for you as well.

OTA Jellybean update fails

So I'm running into difficulties updating to jellybean.
I'm rooted on stock 4.04,with the bootloader unlocked, and have vodoo ota installed.
When installing the update, it prompts me in cwm to install the untrusted package. So I click ok to continue.
A quarter way through it fails and reboots, then continues to reboot continously after it powers up to the home screen.
What am I doing wrong, what should I disable to install this ota update.
Thanks in advance

If you have safestrap installed,you need to uninstall it first.
So would safetrap be the equavlant to clock work mod?

Possibly. If you can live without it temporarily without losing root, give it a try. For the update to work, you need to have your phone "stock" with the exception of being rooted, which you can protect with rootkeeper. Any apps that came stock, need to be there, etc. also make sure that your SU binaries are updated as well.
I tried the temp unroot and tried installing it, but it didn't work. I'll attempt to un install clockwork mod, and temp unroot and try it again.
Would you be able to save me some time and point me in the right direction for removing clockwork mod please

I'd say this is probably your problem. Always better to use TB, and just freeze the bloatware, but leave it in place.

Does MotoAssist.apk contain unexpected contents, did you remove the apk when you were rooted etc.
Yes i deleted it along with dome other bloatwares with titanium backup.. But they were reinstalled when i reset the phone.. So i dont know how that could be the problem

What do you mean when you say they were reinstalled when you reset the phone. If you mean factory reset then that doesn't reinstall them. Basically the apk file is not the same as it was originally.

If you placed them back on the phone manualy, are you sure you placed them in the correct directory.

You will need to reinstall all apps that are updated by the OTA. Download stock firmware and just flash system image. Tutorials are on XDA.
