I am currently running FraNco.Kernel R38 and was wondering how I go about updating to the newest version of android when it releases. Would I do an ota update and be fine or would I have to flash the whole ROM and lose all my stuff?
Would I be able to use cwm or twrp and restore just the data?
Still new to android and was having a hard time finding this with search.
Thank you so much!
Adam
Edit: running stock Jellybean 4.2.1

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.

I'm still on the 4.13 boot loader obviously since I'm on 4.2.1. I don't have a computer so can I just flash a 4.2.2 ROM without any problems? Thanks

yeah i dont think having a old bootloader would affect the rom flashing.
but why not wait til you're able to flash the new bootloader and then a 4.2.2 rom as well?
I use the official CM10.1 so I want to update to the latest nightly. But okay. Thanks!

It will. 4.3 isn't fully compatible with the LTE enabled, older radio. People are messing with hybrid radios to fix the incompatibility issues, but that's still a work in process i.e. bugs.

My OTA update said 4.3 was ready to install, but when I clicked install nothing seemed to happen. I am rooted and have TWRP installed as my recovery. Any suggestions?
And now when I check for an update, my phone says I'm up to date but I'm still on 4.2.2.

You have to do it manually by use fastboot method. OTA is not gonna work when you flash the TWRP as your Recovery.
2 method: 1. fastboot flash your recovery back to stock one OTA will work. 2. Flash your N4 with fastboot to get 4.3 ROM.
I went back to the stock 4.2.2 rom and I'm not rooted anymore, but now the stock recovery doesn't work. So how can I update to 4.3?

I haven't update 4.3 yet but I want to try out the latest PA rom. Should I just wait until it becomes stable or just factory restore and head into 4.3 and root. Also does nandroid works on Android 4.3 or i am going to lose everything?

I think this is more of your dilemma than an actual issue.
As long as your custom recovery works, nandroid should work.
Should you wait till it becomes stable? Up to you.
Just factory restore and head into 4.3? Up to you.
I dont see why you would wanna OTA to 4.3 and then flash PA. Why not just flash PA straight?
I use Multi Boot. PA is a solid ROM. CM10.2 is too. I boot between them. If I stayed with stock not possible to do this.

Nope. If you flash the latest PA, you would be wiping your ota-ed 4.3. So there would be no difference at all. You do however, need to flash your new radio for 4.3
Hi, I'm currently running the last AOKP nightly based on JB4.2.2.
Every time I try to update to a more recent, 4.3.1 based version, I fail miserably
Even after a full wipe I get bootloops, the setup wizard crashes, or titanium backup fails to restore much needed (non-system) settings / apps. I get lots of freezes or random reboots along the way...
Am I the only person with such problems?! I found mentions that root is somewhat broken since 4.3 and that current root applications are still unfit to compensate... Is this true?
How can I update to a newer, AOKP based Rom? Is there a official or unofficial version that is stable enough to serve as daily driver? Do I need additional apks? How can I restore my titanium backups?
Thanks in advance!

I flashed the .84 radio but have no new bootloader... Where can I get it? Can I still downgrade to 4.2.2 if the update fails?

Here for the bootloader and if you have a backup of your 4.2.2 rom you are ok.

Make sure you have the latest version of your Recovery and bootloader before flashing the rom.
