Hello,

the OTA update never worked for me so far, so I always did "phablet-flash cdimage-touch" instead. But strangely I get plenty of updated packages on "apt-get upgrade" immediately after upgrading anyway.

When I first screwed my device I managed to recover it with the manual installation routine described in the wiki. phablet-flash refused to work in that state, but at least it didn't make things worse. YMMV, so if you want to be sure, wait for the pros to answer ;). I'm just a beginner on these matters.

Regards,
Fabian

> Hello good folks, I'm wondering if I could please get some help.  I have a Nexus 4 that I tried to load up with Touch, I had some problems using phablet-flash with cdimage-touch and ubuntu-system so I ended up following the manual install process on the wiki, and that loaded it up ok.  However I was having problems running the update from the software menu (a 308Mb download) so I thought I might be able to use apt-get update && apt-get upgrade to do the same thing, but that only downloaded a small set of updates.  Hence I returned to try that update from the settings, but it didn't seem to get anywhere (not to the install update and restart option that I'd seen before) so I restarted the phone. to try again.  Unfortunately the phone will no longer boot - it jsut sits on the "Google" screen, so either I shouldn't have done the apt-get or the settings update _was_ actually doing something and was part the way through.  Either way, my phone needs a reload.

My question is: what's the best way to reload Touch on there, in this situation?  Should I try the phablet-flash ubuntu-system or should I manually push the image file back over?  If the latter, do I need to do both the saucy-preinstalled-touch-armel+mako.zip  and saucy-preinstalled-touch-armhf.zip or just one (I would guess the second) of them?  I thought I should check which is the best way, so I don't make things worse.
