Partial 5.0 update - Nexus 4 General

I'll start this off by saying I've been away from android for about a year now, just got my nexus back up and running and updated to 5.0 manually with adb. For some reason it didn't update completely or something though, I still seem to have the jb launcher. I updated straight from a jb version of paranoid android that was like 4.1, didn't think that would be a problem since I did the manual update. What do I need to do? I feel like this is probably just an obvious thing that I'm missing because of the time passed since I've done any of this

You have to install Google Launcher from Play store.

I downloaded the factory image and set it up from the beggining. It has jb launcher default. You have to download from google play yourself. There is no issue about it.

Thanks OP, I was in same boat
On a side question, I did mine OTA, any benefit to have done it via factory image instead?

Just install Google now launcher. Factory images are for those who can't wait for ota. If you have the ota then it's no different from factory images.

I personally think flashing the factory image is a little more stable (just my opinion, though). Plus it is way less of a hassle if you're using any rom mods, custom recovery, etc. since the OTA won't flash if you do any of these. Also, with an OTA you have to either wait for the notification or get the right zip to flash over the version you're currently running....for example, if you have 4.3 and you want to update to 5.0 via OTA zip you can't use the 4.4->5.0 one...you have to find the 4.3->5.0 one. Factory images 'just work'....way less headaches

Thanks. Doing flash via code method listed on thread here.

Finally, now maybe some of these "man, Cricket ripped us off dude!" people will shut the hell up.
I have the zclusive update. The kyocera updater says no update available. No further information is given. Anyone have any ideas on downgrading. As I heard it, there isn't a dump of 1.6. Factory reset doesn't erase system software. Correct me if I'm wrong...
I have tried to run the update after a factory reset, well I was not able to download the OTA it just checks the version and says no update.
I noticed after factory resetting I could no longer download apps from the market. I ended up formatting my SD card and then running the updater again. So with that being said if yilou have already updated the OTA will not be available, and also confirms that the leak is the official update.

I'm interested in finding out if the ota has swype and the 3g bar graph.
Could someone who's done the upgrade ota report findings please ?

Also, if there are any changes that cricket made independently of the leaked update, all we'd need to do is get the ota system image and flash that to our phones

As far as I can see they are the same. The kernel, and build versions are the same. (I borrowed this guy's at school who did OTA today.) Everythings else looks the same, no swype, same 3g.

Updating P7310XWKJ5 with USA's ICS

Hi guys,
Just posting to say that yesterday I flashed the ICS from the USA on my P7310XWKJ5 (Europe).
All I needed to do was follow this great instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582943
The file to flash, by Odin, is this one:
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/169458139/5cca4ab/P7310UELPB_P7310XARLPB_XAR.zip.html
Guys... there is no need to worry. This is an official update from Sammy so if you have the Honeycomb stock there will be no problem at all.
I believe that Europe didn't receive the update only to avoid everyone in the world updating at the same time.
ICS with Touchwiz is simply great. The tablet is now much smoother and faster. ICS is much better then HC.
The only thing that you will lose in the update is the config of your 5 homes. Besides that, all your apps will be ok and your saved data.
Don't wait anymore... flashing Odin style and enjoy the best Samsung as to offer.
At least I did...
Cheers! Coragem com isso!
P.S: make sure you have the samsung drivers on your pc... to test it just install Kies and connect your tablet. If Kies recognizes your tablet then you are good to go.
BTW: no need to thank... I didn't do anything... I just pressed my balls against one another (crossed my fingers) and did the update. Thanks for your help almaalma74.

LOL, just gave you a free "thanks" - clicked wrong button.
Anyway, lots of people have done that - well, at least the update using the USA ICS, of course they were coming from a variety of ROM (not only that xwkj5)
Anyway, there's no reason it shouldn't work. A few people (strangely, mostly from Switzerland) had an issue, that the ICS failed to work properly (garbled screen) and found they had to Odin-flash a specific HC 3.2 version, and only then it worked. But that's a minority, and the solution is simple.
future OTA - if you load this ROM, you will get future OTA distributed to the "USA" market. (until you flash another region's ROM)
What to install... if you want to make sure to have the original ICS experience from Samsung (with nothing removed or added), I would recommend to use the stock file for Odin. If you want, you can follow that up with an Odin-flashable recovery & a root.zip flashed from recovery.
see e.g.
for download Odin-flashable recovery (I still prefer the slightly older 5.1.2.6 - for a more complete and logical menu than 5.5.0.4; and more reliable than 6.x)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30839339&postcount=52

Thanks guys for the help. With the fingers crossed today I flashed the usa version via Odin. Simple procedure and very happy with the update. It preserved everything just like a normal update. So long any bugs, huge improvement of perfomance, certainly a new experience. I will try to root it in the nexts days when I have time. Thanks to everyone except Sammy

I updated my P7300 with this image and it works great, except for the obvious loss of 3G.
If you don't have a current requirement for 3G then I can definitely recommend the update.
I used the rooted modded version, btw, with some apps removed. See the development forum.
Updated my UK GT-P7310 yesterday via Odin. Man what a difference! It just feels so much smoother and quicker. Even the boot time seems to have shortened, although I may just be imagining that. No apps lost, no data lost. Absolutely perfect.

I updated my UK GT-P3710 with US Stock ICS via ODIN. Initially smooth and good update. I have had 3 freezes while updating Titanium Backup Pro around 100+ apps. I ended up restoring apps individually with no freezes. I also noticed some brief pauses while playing Airline Control which I have noticed in the past with ICS Custom roms.
I flashed CMW5.5.04 and then used original root from recovery to gain root. No problems. Camera is working great.
I am now trying to flash A1 kernel ver 1.7 wifi to see if I can overclock. FAIL so I restored original boot.img. Overclock might have to wait.
I am liking ICS so much I might get a Galaxy S3 now with rumours of JB update coming.

I just flashed it using ODIN on my 7300... it works without any problem (but without 3G of course).
Just for info: Flashing using ODIN replaces the recovery as well.... so afterwards you will have to re-flash (again using ODIN) a custom recovery in order to continue playing...

in the old days ota's used to wipe everything and reinstall the rom, thus removing root. since gingerbread all they use is patch files, thankfully too. could you imagine a 1.5GB "ota"? it checks the hash of all the files its going to be updating, if it needs to update modem and you have a diff modem then it will fail, if you removed an apk it needs it will fail etc.
its why cwm/oudhs will detect if teh su binary has been altered with permissions and /system/etc/install-recovery.sh as they tend to be teh results of otas
Thanks boy.!

as i explained earlier, the only way a ota will pass while you use custom recovery to flash it, is normally if you have custom recovery and root and thats all. alter system in any way and you risk the ota not going. replacing the kernel is guaranteed way to make them fail, almost every ota ever has included a new kernel update.

When you Odin the file, everything gets updated - modem, kernel, and build. What I did was first Odin the MDL package, reboot into stock recovery and flash the MF9 update and reboot, and then perform factory data reset. Everything is working smoothly.
Thanks for this.
However, I personally, see no reason to update?
I have my phone ALMOST the way I want.
A huge feature for me, would be, to ENABLE apps/widgets on a passworded lockscreen.
This is a huge inconvenience as far as I am concerned.

Over the air updates often take time to roll out. Give it time and the update will come.
Of course, you can root and flash a custom ROM based on 4.3, but unless you already have an unlocked bootloader, you will lose your data.

I have rooted my n7 without unlocking my bootloader. I'm using stock ROM. So my data will be saved?

You'll lose root, but so long as you made no changes to the preinstalled /system portion of the ROM, the OTA should run without killing any of your data.

It can take a lot longer than that, several days or a few weeks sometimes.
I just installed the factory image on my Nexus 7, but this will delete all your data...

If he has Superuser he can download OTA Root Keeper off Google Play to keep root when he installs the OTA or if he uses SuperSU instead, the pro (paid) version has an option to protect root.

Got the 4.3 upgrade OTA this morning but had to use the old trick.... "Google Services Framework > Force stop > clear data" to make it show up.

Been doing that all day no luck here.

This is why it pays to have an unlocked bootloader.
You would be running 4.3, rooted, and no loss of data if you did.

Not at this stage, it seems.
"It means preserving root with OTA Root Keeper won't be possible anymore as new rooting techniques rely on more than just a setuid su binary in /system."

Yeah you are right. They updated their app to show it at the moment does not have 4.3 support. Rooting a Nexus device is easy enough, though, that I would not worry about it.
OTA link for Nakasi is posted over the OTA repository

Fastboot oem unlock is the first I do when I get home with a new nexus device lol. Of course this thing has seen less than an few hours of stock ROMs in the past year lol.

Just updated my nexus 7 via. OTA.

Finally got the update this evening! Had a notification to say it'd downloaded and was ready to install, but I was in the middle of fixing a Play Store issue which meant removing and reinstating my Google account...
Of course, this meant that the notification disappeared and I'm still stuck on 4.2.2 with the manual update via 'About tablet' not working.
If it's downloaded, can I assume that it's still somewhere on my device? If not, will I possibly have to wait days or weeks to receive the update again?!
I'm not rooted by the way.

4 Days have passed and still no upgrade
What do I do? And I have rooted using motochopper without unlocking boot loader, so my data will be saved?
Should I use this?: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...-to-android-4-3-jwr66v-and-root-it-right-now/

Hey guys I have an unlocked bootloader and rooted device on 4.2.2. Just received ota update notification. If I proceed with the update will it keep root? When I updated via ota the past few times it kept root but with 4.3 I am unsure as I don't want to brick my device

No, not unless you install one of the 4.3 zips floating around XDA via custom TWRP recovery.
