Did "one step root" - How to take 4.1.1 update now? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK, so as soon as I opened my Nexus 7 I did the one step root.
Worked great!
Issue now is that when the tablet comes up and indicates that there is an update available (4.1.1) how do I get it to "take".
Downloads and then on reboot goes into Clockworkmod. Once in there it indicates that the package installation failed and to be honest not even sure how I even get out of clockworkmod other than to hold power/volume until it shuts off.

Me too

Try ota root keeper from play store

Relatively sure that if you have CWM installed you will need a CMW flashable update as ota updates are designed to flash with standard recovery.

Think this should help

No ICS OTA For Me

View attachment 923053so here's my story;
i rooted my transformer a while back and was messin around with nvflash and got it semi-bricked, so i flashed the nvflash stock rom and it saved my ass. so i stayed on stock unrooted for a while (it's been about a month), but i was on a previous firmware, i think 8.5.6.19, so i headed over to asus's download website, got the .21 firmware and updated my tab to that about a week ago.. so im on 8.6.5.21, US sku tf101 (NOT tf101g). Any thoughts to why i haven't recieved a notification to update to ICS? i rebooted, fully discharged and recharged, and checked the forums... plus Ive been mashing the "check update" button for two days now....... -_- if anyone has a non-root solution, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Do you have CWM Recovery (or non-stock recovery) installed? This will block OTA updates.
Beyond that, try going to Settings - Apps - Manage - All - DMClient - Force Close then Clear Data. Repeat for CMClient.
Reboot.
Check for updates.

I'm on completely stock rom, and the recovery is stock as well (i used it to install the update from asus's website.)
I tried your suggestion about clearing Dmclient and Cmclient data after they were force closed. after i rebooted, i waited about 30 seconds then went to check for update and im still getting the "there is no update available for your device currently" message
Anything else i should try?

Since you can NVflash, suggest you root your device and nvflash CWM. Then install the ICS update floating around through CWM.

You need to do a cold reboot instead of just reboot. You also need to delete the cache for dmclient and cmclient, not just data.
Force stop DMClient, Clear data, Clear cache
Force stop CMClient, Clear data, Clear cache
COLD REBOOT. You do this by powering off your TF(also unplug your power/usb cable) and then starting it up by holding down [volume down] and [power] together. Keep the buttons pressed for at least 6 seconds. Then you will see 2 icons in the center of screen. The right icon is cold reboot and is selected by default. Wait 10 seconds and it will start cold boot automatically.
Check for update.
I think someone mentioned on the forum that ASUS pulled out ICS from the servers - until reboot issue is fixed.

The issue isn't whether or not it's "logical," the issue is whether or not it's true. Which it's not.
I have the same problem, .. not OTA ICS love
stock of course
interestingly enough, 2 of my friends got it yesterday, .. but when i tried today, "no update available"
I tried the following
- Cold boot
- C and D clients force close and clear cache + cold boot
- Factory Reset
nothing worked, .. it is as if there is no update what so ever.
guess will have to wait and see, no rush.
if anyone have some suggestions though, throw em at me
cheers
Well no offense but there is a quick and easy method and thats to NVFlash CWM and manually flash it... or sit and wait your turn.
I don't know why people are so afraid to have a "rooted" device. All it does it gives you admin rights to perform tasks typically not allowed to the stock user account. It's like logging on as Administrator to your Windows machine.
The ICS OTA flashable rom running around IS COMPLETELY STOCK with the exception that the user account has admin rights (ie "rooted").
The only MAIN reason to stay completely stock is to get OTA updates first... but as you see this isn't the case. The OTA may not even be available for your area yet. Custom roms only DISABLE the OTA check because it can unroot your phone and cause incompatibilities.
ClockWorkMod also is just a custom recovery which allows for full backup/restoration of your system. CWM is worth nvflashing JUST for that reason alone.

i had wiped everything for both clients and had already tried a coldboot and factory reset (from recovery) and still no update.
Of course the easy route would be to root, as i did before, but im actually just wondering why i haven't recieved the update at all... if it isnt resolved in the next 24 hours, ill just root and flash the stock rooted firmware. thanks for the help guys!

so i called asus and they said some of the tablets wouldnt get the update yet but that it was definitely on the way. he said that i should wait at least a week...
another thing, he said nothing about asus pulling the update from the server, and was pretty clear that the update was being sent out to the tablets, some were just slower to receive the update

Well, in my case i NEVER succeeded to get OTA upgrading, and it is knowing problem in my country (Israel).
You can download the 4.0.3 ICS update from ASUS now...
I just downloaded the .21 update......it did nothing for allowing me to OTA update to ICS. Went back to ASUS and they now had the new ICS update to download. Downloaded and installed.

[HOW TO:]N8013 Users: Use Odin to Install the New U.S. 4.1.2 JB ROM [UPDATED: 16JAN]

This thread is no longer valid or necessary other than as a guide on how to use Odin. U.S. users that are bone stock should be able to apply the update via OTA or Kies. If anyone's having an issue they can install the U.S. JB ROM by using Odin to manually replace their current U.S. ROM with a completely new copy of the U.S. JB ROM.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Basically what you’re doing is replacing your current PDA (MD5) file with the U.S. 4.1.2 version that's just been released.
To install a ROM it's easiest to use desktop Odin. You can download Odin 1.85 here…
https://www.google.com/search?q=odin+1.85&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-Address&ie=&oe=
Make sure you’ve got Kies installed on your PC because it installs the Windows drivers necessary for Odin to see your device.
Download the full and complete U.S. 4.1.2 JB ROM here…
http://hotfile.com/dl/189276711/f83...GT-N8013-XAR-N8013UEUCMA3-1357740396.zip.html
Unzip the file you downloaded. After it's extracted you should see an MD5 file. That's what you're going to install. Right-click on the Odin EXE file you downloaded and run it as administrator.
Put your device in to “download mode” by turning it off and then restarting it by pressing the power and volume down buttons at the same time. You should see an “are you sure?” message from Samsung. Accept it and your device is now in download mode.
Connect your device to your PC via USB. If the connection’s successful it should look like this…
Next, click on the PDA button and locate the file you extracted and then click start...
You’ll see the update’s progress in the message box in Odin and via a progress bar on your device. When Odin signal’s it’s finished disconnect your device and it will finish installing the new files.
That's it. Your N8013 is now running a fresh install of 4.1.2.
These are the directions I followed - many thanks!!
So, it's confirmed that it won't affect the flash counter for sure? I'm thinking of using the All-Share Cast dongle in the future and it exhibits some strange behavior if the flash counter hasn't been reset...
Will this work on n8000?
Sent from my GT-N8000 using xda app-developers app
Yes it will work the same for all note models but you need to make sure have the firmware for that particular model.
No it will not change your count, you can install stock roms of any regions as many times you want it will not change the count.
Your count will change when you root it or install a custom rom you can easily reset the flash counter
It seemed so simple...followed instructions to the tee. I just got status 7 error. Failed when I tried to flash update.zip from external SD card. Now s note is fc every second. I might have to go return my tablet tomorrow any ideas or help? I am not new to flashing roms but I haven't ever seen this.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Flashing OTA is always tricky, think you were flashing a zip file I would not recomend it.
Also make sure the OTA is for the same version an region as your rom is otherwise it will give you errors
Did you download the N8010XXALI3 version or the N8010XXALGC version as there are two German versions in that list.
Not sure if that would make a difference.

No need to return, go back into recovery and clear the cache. Then reinstall the update. Boot into your tab, it might be a bit laggy at first but let it sit for about 5 minutes DON'T TOUCH IT. Reboot the tab and it should be fine. I had a similar issue, my tab is now flying along. For any fc you get, go into the app and clear all the stored data. IF it continues uninstall and reinstall. Remember, you are going from ICS to Jelly Bean, some apps act differently in Jelly Bean.
Riki
Just to be safe I assume I will be ok if I am rooted and dont have stock recovery. I will just have to reroot. Correct?
After you flash the German stock ICS with Odin you will get back the stock recovery.

When the official UK one comes out will it be easy to change to that if needed?
Yes. 2 options :
Get back to the stock ics for your region, and wait for samsung ota or
Download jb stock fw for your region from sammobile and flash with odin
Edit: assuming that you are from UK.

Mine seemed to take a few minutrs. After the progress bar on the tablet seemed to stop, I unplugged and held the power button down to reboot. Holding down the power button while holding volume up will eventually boot you into what is called recovery mode. You then select what you want to do by clicking vol up or down to select then push power button to proceed.
Let it finish... even if you have to wait 30 min

Well, I stopped the fc by clearing s note data. Thanks for the help. I'm still stuck on ics though. When I try to flash update.zip it fails to get build.prop sector 7 or something. I transferred it around a little before installing - it could be corrupted. I am going to re download it directly onto my tablet and try again. Thanks everyone for your help, I really appreciate it.

I got that as well on my N10. Stock, stock recovery rooted. Booting into recovery didn't help. The next morning it was the same thing, but after a while it shut itself off and when I was ready to flash a stock img, had the USB cable plugged into the laptop, I look at the N10 and it's booting just fine, then starts applying the update.
Not helpful I know, but just wanted to let you know it fixed itself, I did nothing. Good luck.
Same problem on stock rooted. Impossible to boot and to switch off the device. I've wait the nexus shut down by himself and after the update have been automaticaly installed on the boot. I'm always rooted. Strange.

Okay, something pretty similar happened to me twice now. I'll share what I saw and did.
Unboxed brand new n10 and immediately went through the process to unlock and root it. I did *not* install a custom recovery.
After a couple of hours playing, it prompted me to install an update. I *think* it was actually on 4.2 before and this was the update to 4.3.
Applied the update and it rebooted and went to the "No Command" screen. As others stated, it felt very stuck.
I eventually gave up and figured it was soft-bricked so I use the Nexus Root Toolkit to download and install a factory fresh 4.3 (v). Lost all my customizations.
Fast forward to this morning. It prompted me for a new update to 4.3. I made a full backup using Nexus Root Toolkit and tried it, but again, it just got stuck on the "No Command" screen.
This time, I tried pressing all three buttons (power, vol down, vol up) quickly, but it did not bring up the stock recovery screen until I actually pressed them in order, (power, vol down [next to power], vol up [farthest from power]). At that point it brought up the recovery menu and I selected the option to wipe cache.
It took a while, but after wiping, I rebooted and it went straight into Android without a problem and it *looked* like it finished the upgrade. Oddly, it still reports it is 4.3 (v) rather than 4.3 , so i don't know if I ended up aborting the upgrade or if it was just trying to re-install (v) for some reason.

When you cleared cache you lost the update package I believe, so it didn't update, when I received my OTA I had TWRP installed and it went through nicely. Maybe you should try it and then installing Stock Recovery again.

Just so you know when you download the OTA it will download the same zip and boot into recovery for you. If you get some sort of errors now you will get them when you try to install the OTA. Best way to install it is to re-install 4.3 stock and than the 4.4 OTA zip.
Seen people mention even with genuine stock gpe's have failures with side loading.
Due to these issues i decided to wait.
Hopefully we can identify when phase 2 starts.

If people want it they just need to go stock 4.3 unrooted with stock recovery. Download the zip and push it to the sdcard. Boot into recovery, hold vol h and press power. I got an sdcard mount failure 5 times then a menu. Choose load from phone storage and select the ota zip you pushed.

Just curious... how did you root? unlock your bootloader and use customer recovery and SuperUS? or did you use SlapMyMoto? if Slap... I've seen reports of still having root, but write protection being enabled again so you can't do anything with /system and the like..

Yes. Reference the "Returning to Stock" section of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2603358. You have to download the whole firmware package for sprint, which sucks because you only need one file. After you have done what you need to do with TWRP/CWM, reboot your phone into the bootloader, then simply run
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot

I unlocked my bootloader and flashed SuperSU. I live life on the edge!
At the time of the upgrade, I had flashed stock recovery and unfrozen Sprint Zone. I had also completely removed Xposed (uninstalled modules, disabled Xposed, and flashed Xposed-disaper.zip). I still had other root apps installed when I took the upgrade (TitaniumBackup and ROM Toolbox Pro). I have verified that they still work post-upgrade without additional work on my end.
If someone gets a copy of the ota zip faster than i upload it please message me a copy of your link and i will update the original post with it.

You have to download the whole firmware package for sprint, which sucks because you only need one file. After you have done what you need to do with TWRP/CWM, reboot your phone into the bootloader, then simply run
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot

Just to confirm, this won't delete anything from the phone, just go back to stock recovery, correct?
Thanks for posting this just updated my phone

At the risk of sounding like a newbie, what are the steps to perform the update. I am coming from a Galaxy S4 and have only did OTA updates as they came. I just got this Moto X about 3 weeks ago during the $299 off contract price (couldn't resist). I would love to go ahead and do the update. My Moto X is stock, unrooted. Thanks

Correct. It will put you back on stock recovery and reboot your phone. Nothing in your /system or /sdcard will be touched. This is what I did to get back to stock recovery.

You need to have a completely stock system and the stock recovery installed. I manually flashed with super user still installed just fine but everything has to be completely stock straight out the box. To manually update you just download the zip in the OP.
1 boot into boot loader by holding volume down and power button
2 use volume key to scroll down to recovery press volume key up will put you into stock recovery with the red triangle.
3 to get to the menu screen in stock recovery you must hold volume key up then press power
4 choose to install from SD card and navigate to where the zip downloaded in this screen power button is used to select your choice. I moved the zip to the root of my SD but it usually will be found in downloads.
5 push power button to install ota manually. Be patient it will take a minute
I had it abort on me first try cause I forgot to change my fonts back to stock so be sure you are bone stock no tweaks or even V4A installed with STOCK RECOVERY.

That's OK with the apps from the play store and amazon just things like exposed modules and viper 4 android have to be uninstalled basically anything that modifies your system cannot be installed. I did have Super user installed when I applied the ota with no problems though

SuperSU or Superuser, and what version if SuperSU. Last time I checked, SuperSU installed another system file incase the daemon method needed to be used.
