Boot into recovery (hold volumeUp + power).
If you see a yellow triangle, press power + volumeUp.
Select "Install update from sdcard," and select the file you downloaded. (It may be helpful to copy the file from download/ to the root of the sdcard beforehand.)
* * * To update to 2.3.7 / GWK74 without losing root: * * *
If you're rooted with stock recovery, first use this to flash clockworkmod or twrp.
. . . . . (Scroll down to Flash Resulting Output.)

Boot into recovery.
Install this to get back to stock 2.3.5.

Install & run BusyBox Installer.
NOTE: If you had downloaded the modded ota update before noon central time Sept. 20, please flash this to update your kernel if you have wifi problems.
Superuser md5sum: ca9d0de5dcdb54eda50ba66ae502c38c

Thanks Jorge330823 for posting the update file, from which I was able to extrapolate the original filename and link.
Thanks morfic for the dalvik wiper.
Thanks Bugless Pete for the full boot image.

Ive installed this on my stock NS4G. Im on android 2.3.7 w/ wallet and everything seems to be working ok. Took longer than usual to boot though. Thanks!!!!

Why would you lost root flashing over a stock rom? It doesn't go and remove /bin/su and su apk does it?
I would expect you should be able to flash over a stock rooted rom no problem.

I just did the OTA on a rooted stock 2.3.5 (ODEXed) without any troubles. My bootloader is still unlocked and I still have superuser installed afterwards.

It changes the permissions of su from 6755 to 0755. I was under the impression that this would have ill effects.

thanks for the "without losing root" method and the update. i was having issue with wifi error, but the update you posted solved the problem.

Ah, you're right. I didn't actually try to launch an application that required su, and now when I do I see that there are permissions problems. Fortunately the superuser apk is still there and generates a zip file to easily redo it it from recovery.

I feel as if Sprint is the new T-Mobile for Nexus devices and will get the Nexus Prime before anyone else this time around. I think T-Mobile has seen it's days for at least until we find out what happens with them.
Honestly. I think T-Mobile is on it's way out. It was GOING to go to ATT and it would eventually roll over TO ATT. Not stay separate. OR, in case, now, I guess Sprint would be able to get them like they wanted? Where it would make sense for Google to back Sprint first like they have been doing. Or at least Sprint is there go to carrier now as the cheapest stable where T-Mobile is a little shaky I guess.

If anyone is wondering KE1 radio works with 2.3.5. I am running the cm7 kang btw.

Great! I guess Sprint has coverage in Shanghai, where his profile says he is located.
I'll also be switching to Sprint. I imagine their coverage in Greece is outstanding!
Google is shooting itself in the foot with that behavior. They need to change or their policies will eventually shoot back.

You think it's google's choice? I can almost guarantee it's a matter of the carriers not being willing to work with google to get things like full Google Voice integration working on their networks... Google wants their stuff EVERYWHERE, and it needs to be everywhere to succeed. It's the carriers that are afraid of google giving people power to do what they want. Not a single person from a carrier likes the nexus phones. Why? Included tethering out of the box... The carriers don't like Google Voice, why? That one should be obvious, they want to serve you up visual voice mail for themselves (at a charge sometimes). Android includes navigation software like google maps, where as sprint, att, and VZW navigator are paid programs from the carriers with absolutely 0 relevance now that google maps is on phones.
My point is that I can bet it's not google, I can guarantee it's that carriers are scared ****less about the power android gives them and don't want to give google any breathing room. Sprint's in a bad position in America right now so they're giving in and seeing where it gets them.

@snowmanwithahat True! And that's also why at&t, t-mobile and verizon are joining forces to make their own mobile paymant system. But I think that google will win again .

I agree with you in general.
Nevertheless, the problem is IMHO the US phone market.
Operators have unlimited power over your voice and data.
Also, the phone/operator coupling is like a cancer for consumers.
Google should stand its ground with the Nexus line. Nexus phones should be technology demo phones and development tools. Nothing less than that.
Doing nonsense stuff like killing the tethering feature on AT&T Nexus phones, or stopping the updates on the TMO phones is going to shoot back, soon or later.
They have to make a decision soon: The orientation of the Nexus line.
Technology show off and dev tools, or mass market products?
When they have an answer to that question, the Nexus line will start to make sense again.

Does anyone know how to update to 2.3.7 and keep all data/settings? I'm rooted on the stock ROM. Can I just do the OTA? Will I lose root? If I do lose root, will I have to wipe phone and reroot (one click method)?
Please help :/
Problem solved!
Simply follow the first post instructions:
* * * To update to 2.3.7 / GWK74 without losing root: * * *
Boot into ClockworkMod or twrp.
Flash this to get back to stock 2.3.5.
. . . (Or if you're already on it, just reflash the boot image.)
Flash the 2.3.7 update.
Flash superuser.
To keep recovery from being wiped, flash leave_the_twrp_alone.
If you're coming from a custom ROM, you might want to wipe dalvik and fix permissions.
Power OFF.
Power on.
Reinstall BusyBox.

This ROM is not rooted, it is completely stock except Kernel.
There are two ways you can root this ROM.
1. Flash Fugu's Kernel. Phone will go in boot-loop. Remove battery, go in DL mode again. Flash Boog's Kernel.
2. If you want Root as well as Zipaligned, Deodexed KI2, you can flash Emuneee's CWM flashable ROM on top of it. You will need this ROM if you want further modifications like extended power menu etc.

I have tried emuneee's ROM.....no problems flashing, but some quirks with the release in this version (KI2) seems to be....Is that right?
Oneclick "stock" is always helpful and root or no root is good to know. No complaints on that point.

There's a CM9 for the i815 in the Android development thread that has everything working but 4G and auto brightness, according to the developer. I'm going to install this weekend, but it seems to be the real deal at this point.

It's also currently missing HDMI, which is unfortunate...but I agree that it could easily be a daily driver in another month or so.

This is great news, sure I'd love 4g to be working too but I typically have at least 2 networks I can tether on in addition to Verizon so ready to take the plunge.
Which version of CWM are you running and how did you install it? Odin or heimdall? I downloaded what I thought was the proper CWM but have had trouble installing.

CWM 5.5.0.4 recovery from locerra, flashed via Odin.
Do yourself a favor before flashing the recovery via odin if you're rooted and follow these instructions, or else the stock recovery will override your CWM recovery every boot:
ODIN flashable CWM 5.5.0.4 TAR file: http://goo.im/devs/ohanar/clockworkmod/i815/CWM-20120710-i815.tar
Installation Instructions for stock FD01 users with stock 3e recovery:
Gain root access if you don't already have it.
Disable any lockscreen security you have.
While in the Stock ROM after enabling root access, navigate to the /system folder with a root-enabled file explorer app and mount R/W.
Locate the file "recovery-from.boot.p" and rename it to "recovery-from.boot.p.bak" then power down your tab, Do Not reboot or let the tab boot into your stock rom!
Boot into download mode by pressing and holding power + volume down
Press Volume up to continue into download mode and connect your tab to your pc
Load up ODIN and flash the 5.5.4.0 tar file via PDA
Reboot, you should now have persistent CWM 5.5.0.4

I'm running CM10 and it is very smooth and a huge step up from stock HC. I use mine solely on Wi-Fi so it having 4G issues is not a problem for me. VZW's attitude toward customers and their painfully slow updating process is what drove me away from them. I will never go back to VZW until these attitudes change. I am now a very happy T-Mobile customer with unlimited 4G data. Suck it VZW.

This "dinosaur" can run Jelly Bean 4.2 in case you didn't know, plenty of custom ROMS in the development section. If your staying on 2.2 then there are really no "tips and tricks", as those ROMs are very stable. The basic steps for flashing a ROM with this phone in recovery mode are as follows : format system, data and cache under "mounts are storage"(this is optional but recommended for a clean install). The next steps are necessary everytime you install a ROM unless told otherwise by the developer : wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache (under advanced) then install your ROM, now go back to the advanced section and fix permissions, now reboot and wait ten minutes. Note, if your going to flash from 2.2 to jelly bean then you will have to flash the ROM twice, the first flash just updates your recovery mode.

Thanks I wouldn't have known to flash twice on the jb ...I woulda just flashed back to stock and gone from there.
Also if im correct back when this phone was the phone to have ....flashing anything over gb meant loss of gps,wifi, along with other issues....does thus still hold true today?

New User - Problem with Update after rooting

I'm sorry for having to post here, I'm a new XDA member and I've just started using my tablet and found out I can't post in the dev section. I'm not sure how else to get help and a previous boyfriend told me the xda-developers community was a great place so I thought I would try here.
I have the Nexus 7 (2013 edition) and I used WUG's method of rooting - everything went perfectly, but now I'm getting a notification that there is an update (an OTA update - I think that's what they are called?) and it doesn't apply. I'm not sure if I should have, but I did the bootloader unlock and installed a new recovery (TWRP - I think that's how it's spelled?. sorry again)...
Anyway.... At this point my tablet is working great, but I constantly see this notification for an update and I'm not sure what to do.. It says "touch to install" and I've done that but it just boots into my new recovery. If anybody has access to WUG in the dev forum, could you please ask him what I should do?
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you have the WiFi only version or the LTE version? Also, under your settings -> about phone, what build number are you currently on? Since you have rooted and installed a custom recovery, OTA updates will not install correctly. You have a couple of options in this regards, and I or someone will go over them once we figure out what version you are running.

Here's what you can do to install the update.
1) go to this thread and download either the odexed or deodexed version.
2) Reboot to recovery
3) Wipe Cache/Dalvik Cache
4) Flash the .zip file you just downloaded
5) Reboot your updated tablet.

Oh railed, thankyou so much - I was not sure if I would be able to get any more updates. If I do that, will it delete everything on my tablet? It did that when I did the change to an unlocked bootloader, and I had to reload everything.

All your data will be preserved. Only Wipe the Cache/Dalvik Cache, not the Data. Before you install go to Wipe -> Advance -> Check only Cache and Dalvik Cache.
Typically when an update comes out, someone will post a flashable update within a couple of hours so we can install them as well. Hope it helps.
Edit: As always before flashing anything, make a backup, by rebooting into recovery and selecting Backup (i check all the boxes).

Also.... If I just load the latest cyanogenmod on it, will that take care of it. I have the same old phone from my previous boyfriend and it's running cyanogenmod.. It will update the OS whenever a new version comes out and I don't lose the data like I did with the unlock bootloader thing?

I believe so, Cyanogenmod usually merges the updates pretty quickly into the code and you won't get any update notifications from Google directly any more. There are only nightly releases so far for this device if you feel like going that route.

Thank You! Very Much!!!
Do you think I should go the cyanogenmod route?
I've really liked cyanogenmod on the phone on barnes&noble device they are on, but I've been scared to update this tablet since we've broken up and I don't have anybody that can help.

That's completely up to you and what you prefer... I like the stock android experience so far, but there are many options out there for custom ROMs besides CM. Take a look here and here and figure out if a ROM in there has something you want... the great thing about this is if you don't like it, flash something else until you find exactly what you like... that's how I plan to do it, once the ROMs get more stable with the 4.3 updates.

I've been reading through all of the links you sent and some others I've found. Should I go with the odexed or deodexed version?

I use deodexed, as do a lot of people who like to customize. There's not a lot of difference between the two. Here is an article that explains it pretty well: Odexed vs Deodexed

Thank You, I now know the difference between them. I think I'll go with the Deodexed version also.
Thanks again for all of your help!!!!!
