I'm currently running 4.2.1 and want to upgrade to 4.2.2.
So can I just download the 4.2.2 factory image and flash that, or do I have to download 4.2.1 and then do the OTA update?
Thanks.

The factory images are images in their own right, ie download 4.2.2 only and flash it.

I can't seem to be able to find a flashable rom for stock 4.2.2. I'm trying to update to 4.3, but there are some things wrong with my current rom which seems to make the update unable to work because it doesn't think my rom is stock.
Is there a download link to a 4.2.2 flashable rom file?
Thank you in advance.
Just flash the 4.3 Full Package or a ROM. No reason to be on 4.2.2 to update to 4.3.

So I have to find a flashable 4.3 rom, because flashing .tgz cannot be done. Correct?

A .tgz isn't a flashable file. Its a extractable.
Just do yourself the simple route and flash a 4.3 ROM.

so would something like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2377728 work?
For whatever reason can't get the update to flash. I'm stock jwr66y except I have twrp and root. Is there a straight stock rooted rom for grouper yet or an I Sol?

Anyone?

You can't flash the OTA if you're rooted I believe. Try to unroot. If that doesn't work, maybe flashing the system.img from the extracted JWR66Y factory image might work.
If you want 4.4 asap, go back to stock 4.3.
Custom 4.4 roms will be available after Google releases the stock images.

You can flash it if you are rooted, you will only loose root. But it is so easy to root afterwards, just flash SU from recovery....
I couldn't get it to flash over the top of a rooted stock 4.3 rom.
In the end I used wug's toolkit to flash an unrooted stock 4.3 image (the toolkit does all the work for you, even downloading the stock image), then flashed the 4.4 zip over the top, again using wug's toolkit.
to be honest its a bit disappointing as there's no option to enable ART in developer options and no translucent notification bar/nav bar.
looks and feels exactly the same as it did with 4.3 (it's showing as 4.4. under 'about tablet').

I couldn't flash it with twrp, either. Switch to the latest cwm and try again. Worked for me.
My install failed at the end, while setting permissions, if I remember well. You could try to flash boot.img and system.img from the jwr66y factory image, just to be sure.
where is the ota. everyones talking about it,but, it aint even released on googles site???FRAUDS.

What I meant was if one is not using stock recovery and rom, will not get the official OTA update.

Thats 100% official. If you check the link, its straight from Google's OTA server.

That's not a full factory image, just the OTA image. I'm not in a hurry for any of this anyway. I'd rather just wait for a full stock rooted 4.4 ROM, whenever that's cobbled together. If it's not broken, don't attempt to fix.

Its here.... On the factory image website a bunch got it. I can't wait to get home to update my nexus 7 and my phone(nexus 4).
I just received the OTA update of 4.4.2 so I wanted to know what exactly I have to do to update without any errors. I'm Rooted on Stock 4.4 with unlocked Bootloader and Custom Recovery TWRP and also I have the LTE hack enabled. Do I just fastboot flash stock recovery and let it update through OTA or do I have to push the original build.prop from 4.4 too because of the LTE hack? I really don't want to factory reset because I had to do that before in order to update from 4.3 to 4.4. Thanks in advance guys.

I literally just flashed from 4.4 to 4.4.2 by flashing the entire factory image. I didn't lose any data. Same boat as you, rooted and using TWRP with LTE hack.

Downloaded the 435mb OCCAM KOT49H factory image from google? Then you put the entire .zip on the sdcard and flash it through twrp? Is that it?
I'm rooted and have twrp also, but i don't know if i can just flash the full factory image. I want to be stock and rooted!
Thank you!
EDIT: Sorry, i have found the solution in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145848
I didn't know you could download these files and use them as "manual OTA update"..
Thanks again

Hi guys,long time lurker here.
I have recently tried to update my old Nexus 2012 to Kitkat, and messed it up!:crying:
I can only get into TWRP now, and only get roms on there via a USB OTG cable.
Thing is, i've tried loads of roms and they all seem to fail. I've obviously messed up somewhere, anyone give me any poiinters?
Cheers.
EDIT
Think I'm sorted - seems i can't update to Kitkat, I tried a 4.2 rom, and all is good.
Note to self - do more research before 'updating':silly:

If you took an OTA with stock firmware and TWRP, that's the issue. You can't boot into the bootloader to flash stock?

For stock KitKat, use Nexus Root Toolkit and flash the stock binary, and enable USB debugging! Toolkit really takes over so it's kinda one click.
For a ROM? Update TWRP, CWM, or PhilZ to the latest version and pick a ROM that suits your fancy! Good luck on your journey!

Ah yes, I tried the toolkit when I thought I'd furbared by tablet, I'll enable debbinging & give it another go.

You probably need to update your bootloader to the latest.
You could flash stock 4.2.2 with fastboot.... And when you reboot, it will give you the kit kat ota. Which will update your bootloader and leave you on 4.4.2. Then you just need to flash recovery and root again.

Hmmm, just tried this, everything seemed to go well, but it hasn't given the option of an ota update when I've rebooted. It's still showing as as CyanogenMod Version too?

Hi, seymour71...
If you're running Googles official factory stock Android 4.2, then you can download the relevant OTA update(s) from here, directly to your Nexus 7, and flash in CWM or TWRP.
You can find out the specifics of the ROM build number your currently running by going to SETTINGS>>ABOUT TABLET>>BUILD NUMBER on your Nexus 7.
You may need to upgrade incrementally, that is to say, from 4.2 to 4.3 (and their successive point updates) right through to the latest version, Android 4.4.2 (Build number: KOT49H).
NOTE: OTA UPDATES ONLY WORK WITH OFFICIAL UNMODIFIED FACTORY STOCK... If you're running a Custom 4.2 based ROM, then flashing them will fail.
Good luck.
Rgrds,
Ged.

Cheers dude. Just checked, the build number says: BeatMod CrystalClear v2.3
Android version is 4.2.2
I thought i'd just flashed it back to a 4.2 stock rom via the toolkit, but apparently not.

"BeatMod CrystalClear v2.3"... Never heard of that one before. There are some pretty obscure ROMs out there. This one sounds like it has some sort of 'music' orientation.
Anyhow... it's a Custom ROM... and you wont be able to update it to 4.4.2 unless the developer has released a 4.4.2 version.
---------------------------------------------------------
Your best bet is to fastboot flash the official Google factory stock image for your specific Nexus 7(2012) model (WiFi only, or WiFi & 3G).
The Nexus 7(2012) factory image(s) can be found here...

Instructions on how to fastboot flash can be found here...

Ah, it seems I didn't do it right properly first time.
I'm now on 4.2.2 with the build number JDQ39.
Would I be safe to flash a stock 4.4 rom using the toolkit now? It hasn't offered me an ota update - not yet, anyway.
Edit- It's doing it now, I think. Watch this space!
Can I use factory images to upgrade or downgrade from/to any Android version?
i.e I'm currently on stock 4.3, can I directly flash 5.0.1 factory image on this?
Thanks.
