For those of you who are having problems installing the EH04 OTA update, I pullled it from my tab and here you go: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20070269/86bb1913cfe9.update.bin Rename this to update.zip and put it on the root of your storage. This can only be flashed with the stock recovery, it cannot be flashed with clockworkmod recovery. After this flashes and it boots, you will lose root. Simply flash the original kernel from poitee to regain root.

I'm trying to install 4.2.1 just because the update message is getting annoying. I tried flashing the stock recovery and using rootkeeper to back-up root. Once I temp un-root, I go into fastboot, then stock recovery. I try to sideload the 4.2.1 zip with ADB, however it fails when verifying the system (looked to be related to build.prop.) I also flashed the stock boot.img due to using Franco's kernel but it still gives this error.
Hi i have a n7 3g on 4.2.1 rooted..i installed also ota rootkeeper
Now i nave the 422 update downloaded but i ve read the rootkeeper is not functioning on 422 so now if i install the update will my root be safe opening rootkeeper band rerooting with it?

I'm also stock rom/kernel, rooted and have cwm recovery, supersu, and voodoo ota rootkeeper. I told ota rootkeeper to backup root. I copied the update file to the N7 and ran the update through cwm recovery. After the update I kept root and kept cwm recovery by answering Yes to a prompt about disabling flashing stock recovery (thus keeping cwm recovery) and Yes to a prompt about recovering root. Very easy overall.

Hi to copy the update.zip you used adb or just wired to PC and copied it in the -root of sd?
If i install the update downloaded by the nexus and then run rootkeeper would be good or better install it through recovery?
Really thanks

I downloaded the update (6ece895ecb23.signed-nakasi-JDQ39-from-JOP40D.6ece895e.zip) to my computer and from there to the N7 via usb cable. That way I could easily check the md5 checksum and I don't always trust d/l straight to the N7 although it should work fine. You can even install the zip from the download folder.
Do you have root via Superuser or Supersu? With Supersu and ota rootkeeper (told it to backup root) I kept both root and my cwm recovery. Without them, the update will flash the stock recovery overwriting a custom recovery like cwm or twrp and you will loose root. Even so, you can re-root after getting 4.2.2 and you can install a custom recovery.
I'm not sure if Superuser or twrp recovery gives the same results as I had, but the setup I posted above works beautifully. You do need to backup root with rootkeeper before flashing the update.
i lost root after updating even with rootkeeper. i simply flashed the supersu file i already had on my sd and all is fine

I have supersu and i ve configured rootkeeper when just installed means i checked everything
So now if i download the update for nakasig and install it through cwm and then put super su.apk in root of SD and then open rootkeeper and restore root will work?

Hi,
I lost root after updating to JWR66Y, and when I open up SuperSU, it says "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"
So I turned off my phone, pressed volume down+power button to go into TWRP and re-flash SuperSU.zip, but the screen only shows broken android with exclamation mark on it.
So, my question is, what do I do? I want to flash TWRP via adb and then flash SuperSU.zip via TWRP. Is that the correct procedure? I'm afraid if something goes wrong I won't have a way to restore my nandroid backup or something.
Thanks.
you always lose root if you take an ota update or flash the factory img. when you flash stock, its just that, stock. its been that way since the beginings of android.
you want to fastboot(not adb) a custom recovery, then flash the latest su binaries via your custom recovery.

SuperSU 1.60 flashable zip: http://download.chainfire.eu/350/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.60.zip
My tegra note has cwm and a OTA 2.5 is avaliable. I did the OTA and tablet reboot in recovery, but I did not do anything, only reboot to system . Can I update in this way or should I download ota 2.5 and flash by cwm??
I'm just a newbie but am pretty sure that you cannot successfully do standard OTA with CWM or any non stock
recovery in place. You need to get back stock recovery (and not sure but might also need to re-lock boot loader).
Good morning, I wanted to know if I can upgrade to Android 7.1.2 beta with root and custom recovery installed. Do I have to remove them before upgrading or the upgrade will remove them automatically ? Will my device even boot if I update with root and custom recovery?
Thanks
Nope. Cant with custom recovery..

Your phone will boot loop if you don't go back to stock recovery first. I tried just to see what would happen and that's what happened. People who tried to flash it with Flashify reported no success.

Stock ROM? Important information you omitted. From a guy who always runs the latest stock ROM rooted and custom recovery here's how you do it: You do not have to remove them first, and although they (SU & kernel) will be overwritten with the new boot.img, it is very easy and straightforward. You need the TWRP flashable (beta) OTA zip file, in the OP here. Put the latest SU and your custom kernel on the device root, or wherever. (should already be there) and then reboot to TWRP recovery. Select "Install" and then select the OTA you downloaded above, and tap "Add more zips". Next you want to add the latest SU zip (2.79 SR3) and last add your kernel. Mine is EX. Once you have queued all 3 zips, in less than a minute you will be back up and running 7.1.2 , rooted and with kernel. Even if you flash each file individually you will still be ok. (OTA, SU, Kernel). See the same thread further down... Credit for the TWRP flashable OTA goes to @Displax.
