Re-download the image your trying to flash.
As an MD5 is a checksum, meaning if the MD5 isn't valid something has gone wrong with the download, hense the Check Sum is incorrect.

Had the same problem myself.
The 4.2 update won't install if you changed anything in /system
An example of how you might have done that is used titanium backup to uninstall a system app or use the integrate updates of system apps into ROM option.
The solution is to restore what has changed. For example, if you removed a system app that came with your nexus such as that Korean keyboard app (which a lot of people seem to have done) you need to somehow get a hold of that apk and put it back into /system/apps or the update will not install.

Can confirm that any changes to the system in any way will stop the device updating via ota.
I moved apps and froze some installed some custom changes to system ui etc the normal stuff you do when rooted. The update downloaded fine but would not install.
Thankfully I had a cwm stock backup,hid root using voodoo ota rootkeeper then was able to update to 4.2 then restore all apps and data using titanium backup.

Thanks for the help I just used wugfresh and the tgz file for 4.2 wiped everything but no worries there. Got 4.2 running all I have to do is root

Thanks!

Did you happen to backup the SystemUI before Modding it? The new update checks for a few things that may have been modified and won't install if its not all stock.

You could probably just wipe your system partition and flash the update, which will keep your data intact.

I've tried with stock kernel, but without success...
It gives me an error on the signature; when I try to install without signing verification, it gives me this error:
Failed: apply patch_check ("system/app/chrome.apk" - and two groups of 41 aphanumeric characters-).
Could be due to the fact I've installed all system software updates in the past (gapps and others) into rom using Titanium Backup?
--- update---
After a full backup using CWM, I've flashed stock "system" using Nexus Root Toolkit. Reboot in recovery and applied the JZ054K patch.
New error now... apply patch_check (EMMC: /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/LNX: and a lot of digits...
I give up!

Go all the way at the bottom of my post. There are two flashable zips. One is for the original the other is for the new kernel.
Just an FYI , you can't flash a boot.IMG like a zip file using cwm or any custom recovery. I use adb for this. You can search for the info on here. There are many posts on it. Hope I helped.

Got odex error
I had my nexus unlocked and rooted using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1741395 so I should have original kernel.
I got an error when trying to update related to BrowserProviderProxy.apk that I had renamed to have android browser working.
Now I can't seem to get it to update again from system updates.
Can I retry using the previously downloaded file? Where does the downloaded file gets stored? I got CWM and can download the image again to install, but I was wondering where does it get stored. Thanks!

4.1.2 altered build.prop file can't receive OTA update

A while back I altered my build.prop file and accidently deleted it. I didn't make a backup so I restored it with one that someone posted and I haven't had any problems.
However since I did that, the OTA update that I got notified for did not install.
My boot loader is unlocked and I am rooted with stock recovery.
How can I update to 4.1.2 manually and still keep root?
I understand there are plenty of posts about this but everyone has a different problem and I'm just trying to get the correct information. Thanks for any help.

Here's the build.prop from JRO03D load that up and try again. If that fails, you can manually update to 4.1.2 from the factory image without modifying user data.
this worked my friend, thanks.
I'm having the exact same problem, same circumstances, down to the update not taking because I accidentally deleted a system file, except the file in question is the gmail .odex file because I deleted that to install the unreleased gmail 4.2 app. Any help?
EDIT: Fixed thanks to user comminus via PM. Cheers.

[Q] Error installing Android 4.3

So I got the OTA update, but after downloading it, the install failed (dead android says: error), then the Nexus 7 reboots to 4.2.2.
I already did a factory reset, but it didn't help either...
Anyone with the same issue?

looks like your SystemUI.apk has been modified not in original. I would recommend to get copy of systemUI.apk from stock 4.2.2 and copy it to your tablet and using file explorer, replace it. and give a try.

my OTA failed too, different error. this usually always the case if /system/ folder integrity check failure (error 7), means files in /system/ folder are not original or modified. Yours does not give any details, but I bet it is. to see what error, try to flash it thru CWM or any other custom recovery you use.

I guess I'll download the Nexus Toolkit, click on the flash stock + unroot button, so it flashes the stock 4.2.2 and then I'll try to OTA update again.
I already unrooted, but I think it's not a problem.
Seems like it is not fixable!
I used fast boot to push my missing file.
I used es file explorer.
I used titanium back up to make the app, system...
No way, nothing. Not the slightest luck.
(My missing app is xt9ime.apk)
I haaaaaate this situation.
the worst thing is that xt9ime.apk is asus keyboard, and it is disabled by google on nexus 7.
why should not having an app that they don't want to use be a problem. X(

Are you guys with errors using SuperSU? If so what version?
It seems like that the last couple versions touch a file used by OTAs. The Dev recommends using the "Full Unroot" option in the SuperSU app prior to accepting the OTA.

I did full unroot, and I also did a factory reset, but it still fails to install.
Using Wug's Toolkit to flash stock 4.2.2 is a good idea?
Then try to OTA update 4.3 again?
Same problem
Hi,
I think I have the same problem:
What to do?
You cannot install the full image from Google using fastboot? Just back up your data(if you can) then try a fresh install.

What is Fastboot?

Sadness.
Fastboot is a utility used to control the base fastboot firmware on many Android devices. It lets you do low-level actions such as flashing a custom recovery, ROM, or kernel. Toolkits run fastboot behind the scene, but automate the commands for newer users.
I had exactly the same problem and after trying a few things, I just found a working solution for my Nexus 7.
I used the same tool I used to unlock and root a few months ago: Nexus Root Toolkit 1.6.3.
I made a backup of my files first, my idea being to reflash the 4.2.2 rom
I downloaded the system file here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occamjwr66v
Then, in the Nexus Root Kit, launch " flash stock + unroot" and select the downloaded system file.
The flash lasts 5 minutes, and the system will reboot.
Then you need to reactivate the usb debugging .
The next action is to relock the Nexus, with the "OEM Lock" in Nexus Root Toolkit.
The system will reboot after flash.
Then, the 4.3 update will be available automaticaly but this time the installation won't crash.
I hope this could help.

Thanks for the idea. I used a similar approach with different steps and got 4.3 and root back.
I had stock 4.2.2, stock recovery, rooted (SuperSU).
Backup data.

- "9. Download, Extract + Flash Google Factory Stock Rom"
- Download Stock Image
- "15. Android 4.2.2 (Build JDQ39)
... followed directions to download and flash WITHOUT wiping USERDATA
I did NOT do the "relock the Nexus, with the OEM Lock".
After flashing, did the OTA update to 4.3
After OTA and rebooting, got SuperSU update and put it on my N7
SuperSU thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

In CWM, I flashed the installable SuperSU ZIP, rebooted, and got rooted.

I wanted to save my data and wasn't sure if going directly to 4.3 would be safe. Was just being cautious and letting the OTA do the update.

CWM

I know that ota updates wont delete user apps and data but does anyone know if updating from android 4.4 kit Kat KRT160 to KRT16S via ota will delete or remove cwm?

Actually TWRP can flash OTA packages, I haven't tried it myself but many people have confirmed it will work. I'm not sure if OTA will work with TWRP though, (not the manual flashing of the package, but the OTA update itself as in Android automatically downloading it, booting into TWRP and updating automatically), still think it needs stock recovery for that.

I see. I always flash the factory images using adb. I find it simpler that way.
