Update 4.2.1
- Thread starter itchy67x

Sweet thanks. I kind of want to keep the stock recovery for now, so I might just boot into CWM to flash the update instead of flashing CWM. Thanks for your help.
Can anyone please check the following is fixed:
1. 4.2 update made the display colours paler/washed out. Does 4.2.1 change this at all?
2. 4.2 broke car mode meaning your car dock app didn't take over the default launcher whilst in car mode
Many thanks

Correct. It gave me an option of keeping CWM Recovery and whether to keep root or not.
I'm pretty new on being on stock ROM and I got some questions about this OTA or update.zip file.
I've rooted the rom, and also moved some apps to /system/app and also flashed TWRP recovery.
Can I install this update, or do I need to do something else? Like, flash back stock recovery? Does it work to have done some mods to /system if I only move back to stock recovery?

Are you talking about the Nexus 4? It shipped with 4.2 and had a small update afterwards. But I don't think the original update 4.2 changed anything with the colors.
Not sure if a placebo effect .. Or that I've gotten used to it m but my touch response seems better after 4.2.1

It doesn't matter what you've moved to system, as long as you haven't removed/renamed any stock system files you're okay.
I had all pre-existing files intact in system so I passed assert. I sideloaded the zip however, so I had to reflash TWRP and SuperSU. I've seen other people report that CWM prompted them about whether they wanted to retain CWM vs the stock recovery +/- root (?).
Yes, the nexus 4 earlier ota degraded the display colour. See link below.

What do you mean with "sideloaded"?
Does it matter if I receive the OTA or if I download the .zip manually? And does it work with TWRP or do I need the stock recovery?

adb sideload
You can flash the zip with TWRP, but it will fail if you've renamed/deleted any stock system apps.
Really wanted to update while at work, but I uninstalled Play Magazines, Currents, all that BS that comes on the phone. I'll wait until it's merged into another build, or flash the stock image when I get home. I wonder if it will fix my Wi-Fi woes...

Well I haven't removed anything myself. I've installed SuperSU, that other stuff that comes with root, some security app, and ALSA,
EDIT: Do I just flash it in TWRP like any other .zip?

You should be okay then. Just be ready to reflash your recovery via fastboot and SuperSU if needed. I'm not sure if TWRP prompts you about the recovery/root change.
That doesn't really tell much except to those that know what it means. So I'll also ask what do you mean sideload or adb sideload?
I'm stock, rooted, twrp recovery and did the following to update and retain root:
1. Download, install and run ota rootkeeper
2. Select backup root
3. Boot into twrp root recovery and flash zip file from post #3
4. Reboot phone
5. Open ota rootkeeper and select restore root
6. Voila!

Just flashed from CWM and then reused the Nexus 4 Toolkit 1.3.0 to reroot.
Worked like a charm.

3Guys found this in Nexus 7 forum on trouble with sideload method. But works great to get your OTA notification! After clearing data, check system update.
Thank the poster for this..
Guys forget everything about sideload the update... there's a little trick which force your devices to get it ota
1. Go to Settings -> Apps -> All
2. Find Google Services Framework.
3. Tap on Force Stop.
4. Select Clear Data.
i should do it 4 times before it worked :good:
3Or what if you're rooted, unlocked and CWM
I want to know what you do if you're rooted, unlocked, CWM and need the bathroom?3Quick instructions if you are stock, unrooted without CWM. You MUST have unlocked your bootloader and have ADB (Android SDK installed) already for this to work.
1. Download this to your computer -> http://android.clients.google.com/p....signed-occam-JOP40D-from-JOP40C.625f5f7c.zip
2. Turn off your phone
3. Hold down Volume - and Power to get into Fastboot
4. Scroll down to Recovery and enter.
5. On the No Command Android screen hold Power and Volume + to get to menu. Might take a few attempts to get timing right
6. On the menu select Update from ADB
7. Connect your phone to computer with USB
8. On computer type "adb sideload 625f5f7c6524.signed-occam-JOP40D-from-JOP40C.625f5f7c.zip"
9. You should then see this output: "sending: 'sideload' 100%"
10. Your phone screen will say System Update or something and it will install the OTA.
Once done just select reboot in recovery and you're done. You can use this method for ALL future OTAs - all you need is the update zip. This works on all Nexus including Nexus 7, assuming Nexus 10 and GNexus.
No longer need to wait for OTAs. Enjoy!
