Ok, got the N7 for my wife instead of the Fire. Just got it and want to root/unlock it before giving it to her so I can play behind her back. It's a JRN84D build, and I obviously want to upgrade to a stock rooted JR003D odex build. I'd also like to keep the Tranformers movie. All this being said....should I:
Root, dirty flash rooted JR003D rom
or
Normal upgrade to JR003D, then root, then flash rooted rom
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
My nexus (JRO03D) is rooted and I can watch the transformer movie. I took the OTA 4.1.1 update and rooted/unlocked and then flashed a few ROMs (Pafanoidandroid, AOKP, Glazed, and currently running Bugless)
PS I am also a noob.

Sign in for the first time. Take the OTA. transformers and play credit will already be yours.
Then unlock , root, flash ROM.

I just received my nexus 7 and there's already an update available. I plan on rooting and flashing a custom rom. Should I update or not? I know sometimes an update can cause problems when it comes to rooting and whatnot so I thought I'd ask first.. thanks for any feedback!

Yes update it. I updated to 4.1.1 first then unlocked, then rooted with permanent cwm then flashed touch cwm from rom manager.
Use nexus toolkit though so you can restore stock recovery to flash Amy new updates and root again easily.
Also no harm updating to 4.1.1 and then rooting we have methods set up for that right now.

You can root it before or after update, you're just updating to 4.1.1, or you can install a ROM that is already there, if you're rooting either way, just go for it right away

This is a nexus device. Unlike other devices you never need to fear an update may break your ability to root.

Hello. I have rooted my Nexus 7. Do I need to relock my boot loader after I root? Google has recognized that my device is rooted and won't support Wallet now. Not sure what it's seeing.
AahahahahajajJa
It still works. Don't even worry. It sees superuser just like most other apps that look for root.

Nope, if you relock, you wont be able to try out the ROMs ect
Well, I'll buy the Nexus 4 weeks coming but I still appear doubts about what I'll do with it hehe! It's better have the stock version of android with Franco Kernel, or Installing the CM 10.1 with Franco Kernel or have the defaut kernel with the CM 10.1. I heard that with the Franco Kernel version of the stock android can not be updated. Is it true? Grateful. Hug
Whatever you like. It's your choice. You have to test it out on your own and see.
I don't really understand your last question.

Sry, I heard that with the Franco Kernel, the stock version of android can not be updated. Is it true?
No. If you're not on stock recovery then you would not be able to get the updates. Kernels do not do such a thing like you said. If you have a stock recovery and a custom kernel is installed you'll be able to get updates as long as the recovery is stock.

You can't apply an update to the stock ROM if anything is altered, including using a custom kernel. But you can easily just re-flash the stock kernel, apply the update and then flash your custom kernel again.

Sorry for the noob questions but I tried to update my Nexus 4 currently rooted with 4.2.2 and Franco Kernel and I'm getting the error message "Installation Aborted". Do I need to unroot my phone in order to update to the 4.3 OTA?
Everything needs to be stock for the ota update.

Is is possible to go back to stock without losing all my data such as photos, messages, apps etc...?
What else did you change besides rooting it and installing Franco kernel?

Those were the only 2 modifications that I made. Would it possible to sideload 4.3 without having to return back to stock?

To install the ota, you can be rooted, but you have to root again. You have to be on the stock kernel and on stock recovery (for both how-tos can be found in the forums). Hopefully you didn't modification anything on the system ui or deinstalled some of the system apps, if you did you have to reflash a stock image, this can also be done without losing your data(how-to can be found in the forum), but In this case it would be easier to flash a 4.3 directly.
I'm sure you will manage your way. Good luck and happy reading :thumbup:
Franco kernel changes a lot of stuff, so u might get a bootloop. Just find the 4.2.2 stock kernel and flash of, then try to sideload the ota update.

Started using the old N7 again. Im still on 4.2.2, build number JDQ39E. Unlocked and rooted running a version of Rasbean from July 2013. Is there anything i need to do to update it. I havent found a stand alone firmware to flash only references to new bootloaders.
Thanks
