Since updating to 420, my N7 has more bugs than a rain forest and runs like a bargain bin special. Is there any way to revert to 412 and get my dream tablet back? It is stock, un-rooted. Any help would be so much appreciated.
There's an easy way to restore your tablet back to 4.1.2.
Download Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit, then go here and download the 4.1.2 factory image for the Nexus 7 (this isn't essential as you can download an image within the toolkit).
Now connect your N7 to your PC with USB debugging on, and you can flash the factory image using the toolkit.
Edit: Okay wugfresh.com seems to be down. If you feel comfortable using adb and fastboot directly, you could use this guide.
Thanks for this. Have completed downloads and will attempt it later today.
Perfect tutorial here and every nexus owner should know how to fastboot their device back to stock. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796 very easy to do if you just follow the guide word for word.
How to Downgrade to 4.1.2 back agian!
I know, 4.2.x is a crap, 4.4.2 a bigger crap.
Method 1:Upgrade to 4.3, 4.3 is quite good.
One Problem with 4.3: in older versions of „Hill Climb Racing" like 1.9.0 (my experience) you can't hear the engine sound after 1.7 seconds.
4.2 eats'n'kills your battery and has many bugs.
Method 2: If you really want to get back to 4.1.2 like me (because i want that too) then take a look here:

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.

Goodafternoon
I have a simple question for you
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
Hi everyone - thanks in advance for your help.
I have tried to get 4.4 paranoid android running on my nexus 4 - however, CWM is not working (can't enter recovery, nor can I flash it in ROM Manager -- it says "an error occurred while flashing your recovery"), and I do not have any of the google apps.
I have not gone into this stuff for many years (did it on an old xperia), but unfortunately got into this whole mess when I bought this nexus which I didn't realize until after was rooted. Anyhow, can someone please provide a link with a straight-forward step-by-step process for how I can get this phone working again, back to stock, with google apps and everything? In simple terms would be great, from start to finish.
I really do apologize in advance for my amateur knowledge coming into this. In essence, I am simply trying to get around issues that came up after having bought a rooted nexus 4. But now in flashing Paranoid Android CWM won't work and I can't flash any google apps as a result.
Thank you, thank you, and thank you.
Hello,
Actually, rooting yor phone is not the problem, btw you can check this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2534160 to back your n4 to stock 4.4.
You will need to unlock your bootloader before, however it is simple and the instructions is on the link too.

The bootloader is actually unlocked. Thank you for the link though, I will give it a whirl.
if YES, is there a way to install it manually to our N7.2?
Someone will probably post it in this thread once the link gets discovered :fingers-crossed:
After that, just flash back the original boot.img and system.img from KRT16S if you are on a custom kernel or have modified any system files, and then flash the OTA, either from a custom recovery or sideload it from the stock recovery

Check here for the factory image.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
I use the WugFresh tool kit for easy flashing of stock images.
Android 4.1.1 KitKat is rolling out in stages available for N5, N7LTE, N4 but not yet for N7WiFi also factory images for 4.1.1 won't be available till next week. So we have to wait for somebody to get the OTA and grab the link.
it is out. below the llink

Isn't this for the Nexus 7 2013 LTE Version??

Is there a changeog anywhere?
This feels so weird, i had HTC Desire for like 3 years, and the last OTA i have seen was like 2 years ago.
Now with N7 it's OTA's overload. :laugh:

Don't know. I've heard it's focused on Nexus 5 camera issues. I'm not getting my panties in a wad to install it.

That's pretty much my feel on it. I just installed those dalvik patches yesterday, I don't want to have to flash the stock libraries, wipe cache, and then flash 4.4.1 just for an extremely minor incremental update that isn't even focused on our device.

I believe that there's more to it. 50MB is not that small for a patch, perhaps they ironed out some bugs(there's a hidden wifi bug in 4.4 that I would like to see fixed).
Stability and optimization improvements are always welcome too...

Might not be the best advice, but you could download a nexus toolkit to return your device to stock.
It's clearly covered in the root guide, did you look?

thats what i did and worked out for me.
I would never use a "toolkit" I study and learn what a Toolkit can do, then do it myself manually. That's how you learn.
