Interesting issue:

I own a Nexus 4 that is running stock 4.2.1, rooted, Franco Kernel r72. When 4.2.2 was made available I downloaded it, attempted to flash, flash failed. I assumed the package I downloaded was corrupted and tried again, failure. I left it be.

One week later, I received the system update from Google. I touched the notification to install. Failure. I rebooted the phone and could not locate the download file.

Two weeks later, I received the system update from Google again. I have yet to touch it. The notification is still sitting in my notification tray at this very moment. How can I circumvent this issue?

OTA updates won't install if you're using a custom recovery. Have you tried flashing the Google Factory Image?

No I haven't. I wasn't aware of that either. I assume flashing the factory image isn't a daunting task (even though it easily could be)?

OTA's are almost always a, "dangerous at best" idea when you have a custom recovery, kernel or ROM. mwilkin's is probably exactly right on how to get this rolling for you. Good luck!

You can actually install the update with a custom recovery, its just that everything else has to be stock.

Thanks everyone. I think I'll simply restore the factory image. The stock kernel I found on XDA apparently requires steps I have no idea how to complete if coming from Franco kernel. I guess I'll just have to start from a fresh slate. Thanks again.
