Reset 4.2 to 4.1.2 problem - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So... after trying out 4.2, I've decided to go back to 4.1.2 until app dev adapt to this new structure from Google.
The major problem happens when quickboot isn't compatible with 4.2 and when you manually power down and then press power+volume up+down, it'd go to fastboot manual. But once you select recover mode, it just shows you a unlocked google screen, followed by android with exclaimation mark in his stock then boot to 4.2 again.
man, this is annoying.

nvm. just flash the nexus back to stock and re-update to 4.1.2
let this rant just be from the 4.2 early adopter.

I use the Google Nexus 7 Toolkit which I find very helpful for most situations. I was impressed enough to donate (which gives a few extra functions). It solves most problems with multiple choice solutions to fit and is available on this site. There are 2 different programs available but if you follow my description you will get the one I use.

I am new user Android and I have Nexus 7 with android 4.2 (original without modify)
what are the step/order for unlock my Nexus 7?
,
I have read varius threads (little confusion)
Root--->bootloader---->clockwork or bootloader--->root---->clockwork or other....
thank for all
Use the Nexus Root Toolkit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809195
You'll need the latest version to root 4.2 but it should be a simple enough job.

I would suggest you stay stock for a few days. Maybe a week or so as im sure there will be another update in the very near future.Once that is out my suggestion will be to do a new google image download and flash that after a full wipe..
This is how i am going to handle this new 4.2 system.. Let them work the kinks out before i start flashing something custom again...
Good Luck either way.

Hi Erica,
I was hoping you can help with a question. I am currently stock, rooted, original custom recovery, I have OTA rootkeeper installed and SuperSU v0.98 running Android 4.1.2. If i was to update via the OTA version 4.2 how would you recommend I go about it. Should I run the factory reset on the tablet, should I remove SuperSU (heard from other posts could cause an issue when upgrading) or unroot it from that application. There are so many posts with different ideas so i was hoping you may have a good solution
Thanks,
JBIRD

Nexus 7 not updating from 4.1.1 to 4.2

Hello! I have an unrooted N7 that is stuck with 4.1.1. I regularly get a notification advising me of an update & I run it through the process only to be discouraged to find I'm still stuck with 4.1.1.
Can anyone help? I don't want to root & do a bunch of crazy stuff to get the update. Is there a good fix without rooting?
FYI, I found a "fix" that required turning off WiFi, clearing the some of the systems cache, turning the WiFi back on & searching for an update. No dice...

If you have nothing to lose your best and easiest fix would most likely be to perform a factory reset.

Try applying the update. When your tablet reboots and you see the Android on your screen, hold down the power button then, while holding it down, press volume up. That'll put the stock recovery in verbose mode. When it errors out, post what the text says here.

Yes, I wanted to say this. stay on 4.1.1 or 4.1.2,.... 4.2.x is a piece of crap. Much slower, not the same device at all.
Thanks for advice, then I tried not to update to 4.2 and be happy at stucked 4.1.2
finger crossed and wait for next stable version instead.

4.2.1 is pretty stable, stability is not the problem, but initially it broke a lot of apps compatibility (ok, this will be solved in time), but no matter what I do I have feeling it is slower, and it stutters. I never had this with 4.1.1 or 4.1.2. And I was so happy with my Nexus until 4.2 Anyways, I had 4.2 on my original Nexus, then it died and I sent for repairs, now I have new motherboard (so it counts as different device) and factory-installed 4.2 and it is the same. Even sometimes when playing a game it just stops for a split second... Trust me, new notifications and multi user (if you're not using it) is not worth the smoothness of 4.1.1

Thanks for reply, I'm curious to know as why my N7 stuck at 4.1.2, there may be reason as I tried several times update (reboot and installed, stuck at 4.1.2) no matter how I tried) but I'm peace in mind as 4.1.2 stability.

Nexus 4,4.3 update worst ever!!!(Need Help)

It's been 4 months since i bought Nexus 4 i was enjoying the 4.2 version no problems with heating issues(very minor no biggie),no performance problems neither graphic or application related issues..........however i did found out that there was Bluetooth problem in Nexus 4 devices,thought by next update it might solve that issue(bug).
Now i updated to 4.3 i received OTA and after installing it :-
The games i used to play lag ridiculously which didn't in previous 4.2,i saw drop in frame rates,the graphics were better before now the look like some 8-bit textures.....What the Hell?!?
My phone now get overheated my messaging and surfing which it didn't used to on 4.2 and it heats like anything when i am on call.....
Now it works very slow as if the update has degraded its hardware capability..... :crying:
Please provide me instructional guidance on how to rollback to my previous 4.2 version stock android(i did factory reset it didn't help,its still 4.3)
I need your HELP here!!!

is it that hard to use forum tools to search for keywords like... say... nexus 4 toolkit? come one people... it's a rule, it ain't matter you are a newbie you can always search... anyway go to nexus 4 section, then go to original android development and there you have toolkits in the first 5-6 threads. goog luck
I'd personally reflash the 4.3 factory image before going back, I've had no issues with 4.3 after a nice clean install (never used the OTA as I didn't wanna wait)

As been told, just flash the 4.2.2 image if you wanna go back but honestly i had no problems but applications incompatibility and that's not cause of 4.3 but the applications that doesn't support it yet.

4.2.2 was really much better to be honest,but from what i experienced was that my N4 became very slow i mean chrome taking time to open gmail taking time to open a mail and even refresh,the games i have like Vector,Virtual Tennis Challenge i saw like graphics screwed up........maybe i agree with you maybe be they are not compatible.....
But overheating,reduced performance,its to much to take,i googled a found people unable to turn on their N4 atleast am lucky my situation wasn't upto that.
Thats weird... I installed NFS Most Wanted, Asphalt 7 and they both worked nicely... I also thought there might be some graphics issues but its fine. Maybe you like to try again? maybe there's a missing wipe or something that is causing all these problems.

Hmm.. gotta wonder why Google provides Android upgrades but no easy way to downgrade. Even Microsoft Windows Update Service Packs have an uninstall option to roll the changes back.

Did a Factory reset,still same issue....strange though i did read that 4.3 update improved performance for people but from what i could tell you that there very few like 1 or 2 people in 30 or some complaints saying 4.3 worked as charm for them.....it worked for you to,wonder what is google going to do about it

What's not easy? Download the factory image from Google and flash it the same way you would any factory image from Google. It has the easiest of all mobile phones to up/downgrade as it's a Nexus device

That was the same thing in my mind though,but it seems Nexus 4 has no option to rollback stock,the galaxy nexus series do,some i think.
Flashing 4.2.2 stock is the only solution i think:angel:
It isnt that hard. Just find yourself a good video tutorial if you like and all good

Team win problem.

Hy! I'm pretty much a newbie and i got a problem. I just bought an Nexus 4 which has a recovery installed, called Team Win recovery project. My phone downloaded automaticaly twice the 4.3 update, but when it restarts to install it, the Team Win recovery menu appears, and i can't find any way to install the new update. Also, after a factory reset, the phone lacks ANY browser or music player, and the Google Play icon is changed (has a smile instead).
Please help me! I just want to have ALL things stock so i can use the phone as from factory and install the 4.3 update. Later on, i will learn how to install roms and tweak things.
Thanks in advance!

If you're scared of fastboot commands, you can always use a toolkit.
Check the stickies of Nexus 4 Original Android Development.
Of course by doing it manually you'll gain better ability to tweak the phone in the future...

[Q] 4.4 KitKat is still not available for me OTA (11/17/2013)

Hello fellow N10 owners,
Unfortunately, the OTA KitKat update for my N10 is still not available for download.
I have reset the Google Frameworks app, but that did not work.
I am running Android Version 4.3 build JWR66Y stock rooted.
If you guys have any suggestions I would really appreciate it. Also, If you would know
how I could keep root after the update that would be awesome!
Thank you

Perhaps Google is waiting for Kitkat to be released on the new Nexus 10 before updatring the original Nexus 10.
There is no new Google 10 and seriously once you get KitKat on your tablet you'll wish you hadn't, the OS is like a giant phone and isn't geared up for tablets.

I disagree. With the exception of the PhoneUI settings screen it's exactly the same thing we had before with much improved performance and reliability. I'm so glad to get rid of 4.3.. Nothing but problems.
Maybe it's been pulled.

The full image is available on the Nexus factory images site. If you can't wait for the OTA, just download and flash that. Just remember to edit the batch file so you don't wipe everything. Here is the link.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?csw=1#mantarayjwr66y
Taking advantage of the topic, I'm from Brazil and me has not yet come to update my tablet version is also JWR66Y rooted, I need to get the root to update via OTA? Because I remember the last update to 4.3, when restarted I had problem with the boot image and had to use a tool to change the boot image
I waited, and waited, but gave up a couple nights ago. Seems to me, it should be like a voting system. The more manual update checks you do, the sooner you get it versus those that don't manually check. Those that don't realize the update is even or won't miss it for another few days.
Editing the -w out of the batch file was troublesome for me. The flag would complete and the tablet would reboot, but it would then hang on the nexus boot screen. Tried twice, but waiting a half an hour each time, I deemed it failure. Unexpected too since I had done a full wipe, factory fresh 4.3 the week prior.
Running the unedited batch with wipe went without a hitch. No biggie since I had done it recently.

Yeah, I updated mine with the factory image several days ago...I decided to go ahead and let it do the full wipe since I was reading that folks were having issues after removing the "-w" flag. Full wipe is probably the way to go anyway if want to avoid bugs.
For anyone interested who hasn't done this before, I found the instructions here to be quite helpful:
