Did you flash the entire factory image via image restore, or did you load the boot.img, system.img, and radio in fastboot?

[DaQue]

Xposed Framework isn't compatible, so uninstall it if you have it.

 

Side note, we are one page away from my number. 

That's it. I didn't think it would stop it from "installing" I just thought anything incompatible would crash when ran. Thanks!

[Sanyo M1]

Man, this is just sad, GPE devices already getting the update....

[Destroyallcubes]

OK yeah so here in East Texas I was forced to flash the .15 BaseBand. I lost 10dbm. In spots I had b25 -95dbm, I had b26 Fringe signal. I even flashed .15 while driving haha. I hope that another baseband update comes.

The OTA has been posted for 4.4.3

[Dkoellerwx]

For those that are having problems staying connected to LTE, have you run the full 4.4.3 update or just flashed the 2.x.x.x.13 baseband?

I flashed boot.img, system.img, and the radio via fastboot. So, I believe I am on the full 4.4.3, but who knows. That's why I asked Lake56 the same thing above.

[UCFKnight]

just sideloaded the OTA, updating right now

[lordsutch]

Trying to sideload via adb, but for some reason I'm not able to.

 

It will either say it can't find the update or my device is not connect after I try getting into adb on the phone.

 

Any ideas?

 

Are you using a current version of adb? Some older versions (such as the one in Debian Linux) don't support the 'sideload' command.

Should be?

[UCFKnight]

make sure USB debugging is selected under developer options if its not showing up with adb devices

It is.

Right before I click recovery, the computer see's the phone fine, but once I select adb on the phone the computer doesn't see it anymore. If I try to do adb sideload update.zip, it says it cannot find it.

 

Everything should be update to do as I pulled the download from Google dev site.

The problem is when I select adb on the phone, and try to do adb devices, the computer doesn't see it and tells me there is no device and if I try to do adb sideload update.zip, it says it cannot find it.

Adb operation with android phones is a nightmare. It never works the first time for me. I often have to load the drivers multiple times. Also, switching USB cables and USB ports sometimes does the trick. But I hate any time I have to run adb, because I know I'm in for a battle just to get the computer to recognize the phone.

Any recommendations to what I can try instead of adb?

[rgcrockett]

My phone has been going bonkers all day after flashing 4.4.3. It stays on 3G about 70% of the time, jumps around between LTE and 3G 10% of the time, and sits on LTE 10% of the time. And I'm not moving it, it's just sitting on my Tylt charger.

Have you tried flashing the OTA?

[kojitsari]

Just do the full factory image method. It worked super easy for me and I was up and running in about 15 minutes after Titanium backup finished reinstalling my apps.

Were you able to root afterwards?

[jordanlong20]

OMG B26. 

 

will have to drive around and see the consistency. I care way more about a consitent LTE signal at decent speeds (3MB+) than I do about 15-60MB)

No, I don't even know how. >.<

Head on over to xda my friend and do some reading. This is a good place to start:

Yup, I rooted via adb and installed twrp after my first time. Then my backup installed a system apk that cause my n5 to bootloop. The second time I used CF's auto root just to test and see, it worked like a charm also.

Unlock your boot loader(this wipes your phone). Download the factory image from google, change the file type from .tar to .tgz and extract it. Then run the flash-all.bat, go into the recovery and wipe cache and factory reset. Presto chango you'll have 4.4.3, its that easy.
