Hey, I've already flashed the factory image for 4.1.2 but when I try to apply the OTA patch for 4.2 I get the assert failed: apple_patch_check error.
I have tried to reflash the factory image but got the same error but for a different app. I also extracted the boot.img from the factory image and flashed that, however I am still suffering from the same problem. Can someone please help me out?
I had the same problem :/ but i Use the nexus 7 toolkit to flash back to stock once in stock I rooted and then flashed recovery and flashed the update with no problem

So I am trying to adb sideload 4.2 and its failing at the update, specifically "verifying current system....assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/MusicFX.apk") and a bunch of numbers then Installation aborted. Im running stock rom 4.1.2 and the update originally failed after the OTA so I decided to try manually and same thing. Anyone have any ideas?
Download the full 4.2 factory image from Google's Nexus factory images page and fasboot flash that
Thanks, yeah I can do that but it would wipe my nexus I was hoping to just update

I am updated, running the 4.2 update. I shouldn't have any problems flashing ROMS correct?

Just flash the system image only, via "fastboot flash system system.img" (extract the ZIP in the download), no wipe then.
I just bought my Nexus 7 today, and out of the box every time I get a notification about the update, I choose install, and when it begins, after a while it crashes. It has an image of the android mascot with a latch open and a red triangle with an exclamation mark on it. I reboot, and it's like nothing ever happened.
How am I able to update this device to 4.2?

Try deleting the downloaded update, then redownloading it.
If that does not work try a factory reset.
Chances are it failed verification of your system files when it tried to update, and rendered you custom recovery useless.
And there are reports of it deleting the factory recovery as well.
My best advise is to manually update using ADB or nexus toolkit or install a custom recovery and manually install it using that.
I had the same issue upgrading to 4.2.1.
But everything happened so fast I couldn't see what the issue was.
I then booted into twrp. Looked in the /system/cache folder and the zip was in there.
Tried to install again. And this time I could read the error message.
I had renamed a couple of system files. The update couldn't find these files so the update failed.
So I renamed them back and installed the update from twrp without issue afterwards.

I've tried redownloading mine 4 times...will a factory reset really work?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
It might.
But a factory reset doesn't touch system files.
So if the issue is that there is a modified system file causing the update to fail. Then it may not work.
If it doesn't, you could try flashing the stock firmware using the Nexus Root Toolkit, and try the update again.
If anyone else has better ideas, then feel free to correct me
Hope it works for you mate

How do I reflash this thing?
I don't have a custom recovery installed, and using the toolkit, I tried to install Superuser but it failed to install. Also installing an older bootloader version failed (even after unlocking the bootloader)
I tried a factory reset but it didn't help. It says something about assert failing and cannot verify. Does this mean that my recovery is really messed up?
You need to tell us exactly how you've messed up your stock N7, or at least what your current state is. Your thread starts out sounding like a stock OTA upgrade failed, and then we learn you tried to root it, and failed at a couple of steps.
The OEM upgrade process from 4.1 to 4.2.1 is sequential. You go from 4.1 to 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 to 4.2 to 4.2.1. How did you try to shortcut the sequence?
I'm not the lowest of the low, but I am the slowest of the slow. 49.6 mpg avg for 38k miles in non-hybrid Scion xB
I have a friend who does have everything stock, and the OTA update gives him the triangle of death. Does he need to install it manually?
Hi guys, I noticed a problem with the ota upgrade from 4.4 to 4.4.2 .
When I had the notification of the upgrade, i skipped it because I have root and I need it. Finally I decided to upgrade, but when I did it and the device rebooted, it gave me error and the version of android remained 4.4 .
I tried to flash the occam KOT49H from KRT16S zip with custom recovery but it gave me error again.
Anyone knows how to help me or the only way is flashing the factory image? And if so, can I restore a backup from different version?
Thanks all.
P.S. These are my specs:
LGE Nexus 4
Unlocked Bootloader
Root + Busybox
ClockWorkMod Recovery 6.0.4.3
Franco Kernel r197
Android 4.4 KRT16S
Don't update from 4.4 to 4.4.2, if you ask me!
With 4.4 I had everything working fine, but 4.4.2 gave some bugs.
So I wouldn't hurry if I would you, maybe a new bugfix will come shortly.
To do OTA upgrades your device must be completely stock - that is, you need to get rid of root privileges, restore the stock kernel and probably flash back the stock recovery as well.
To unroot, simply flash the system.img file from the 4.4 image via fastboot (fastboot flash system /path/to/system.img).
To restore the stock kernel: fastboot flash boot /path/to/boot.img.
To restore the stock recovery: fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img.
Finally, you might want to format cache as well: fastboot format cache.
Once you're done with the steps above, OTA upgrade should work without issues.

You can't update when you've rooted your phone if you want to update it so badly you could restore back to stock android.. Hope it helps.. ?

As was said previously, OTA requires stock recovery.
Solved
I have had the same problem, try this.
Yes I wrote it by my self.
Update android 4.4.2 fail/error7
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2571534
I hope it helps for you, but you have to use android adb from the sdk of something like that.
Thanks everyone for your help

I have a Nexus 7 (2012) with 4.4, rooted, TWRP 2.6.0.0. I'm trying to update to the 4.4.2 OTA update, but it's not working. Whether I run it from the system notification prompt or try to install the file manually (in /cache) via TWRP, it fails with this error:
"/system/fonts/Roboto-Bold.ttf" has unexpected contents.
Then it says there's an error executing the updater binary, an error flashing zip file, etc. All the standard stuff when it bombs out of an install.
I did change my font using ROM Toolbox Pro a while back, but I restored the original font and tried running it again. Still got the error. I tried downloading a fresh copy of the .ttf file and replacing the one in /system/fonts, but still got the error. It seems a little silly for the whole update to crash due to a font file, but whatever...
Can anyone help me figure out what's going on, and how to get this OTA to install properly? Thanks in advance!
Probably it's easier to flash the 4.4.2 factory image resp. system.img and boot.img of it manually than trying to recover the correct 4.4 state.
There are already some posts where I described how to do it and there is also a post in my blog describing the process.

Well, after every failure, it reboots and goes right back to functioning perfectly as it was on 4.4. But, I will consider the direct flash of 4.4.2 if no one else has any other suggestions. Thanks!
I have a Nexus 7 (2012, grouper) which so far I have kept on 4.1.2 (JZO54K) using FOTAkill, but now I want to update to 4.2.2. I also have the latest CWM recovery (6.0.4.3).
I plan on applying successively:
094f6629314a.signed-nakasi-JOP40C-from-JZO54K.094f6629.zip
then
659e6288b87d.signed-nakasi-JOP40D-from-JOP40C.659e6288.zip
then
6ece895ecb23.signed-nakasi-JDQ39-from-JOP40D.6ece895e.zip
Using ADB I tried to apply the first update, but it fails. I also tried applying it from /sdcard, but the same thing happens. The error message happens after "verifying current system..." and it consists of:
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/Browser/ProviderProxy.odex", "21a896ab...
E: Error in /data/media/094f6629314a.signed-nakasi-JOP40C-from-JZO54K.094f6629.zip
(status 7)
I tried downloading the zip update again, but it still fails. I downloaded it from http://android.clients.google.com/p...signed-nakasi-JOP40C-from-JZO54K.094f6629.zip
Does the fact that by bootloader is locked have anything to do with this error?
...and the answer is no. Even with bootloader unlocked, the update still fails with the same error.
FWIW I haven"t solved this. Can anyone help me, please?

I don't want android 4.3, 4.4 or 5 on it, I want 4.2.2. I cannot find any factory images for 4.2.2.
(edit) I was looking in the wrong place, I did find a nakasi image for 4.2.2. I will try that.
