Hi
I am currently on root stock 4.2.1 with faux kernel and twrp recovery
Obviously i cannot use the ota update.
What steps should I take if I want to update to 4.2.2 and keeping all my app data and the 4.2.1 radio?
I tried to figure this out by reading but it just got to confusing...
Thanks very much in advance

The easiest way is to download an deodexed rom. Link below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010887
Download the deodexed stock 4.2.2 rom and flash it without wiping anything. This will only flash the rom and no baseband will be flashed alongside it.
Butttttttt some people have been having issues using the .33 baseband on the new 4.2.2 update. What issues? When they make a call,you can't speak into the mic and you wont be able to hear the other person. It's just mute. You won't even hear the phone ringing as in when it's dialing/trying to connect to the caller.
Is there way to install a custom ROM like PACman, if you upgraded to android 4.3?
Flash a custom recovery if you haven't already, then install the rom like you did in 4.2.

what you've got to do is search for ROMs updated for 4.3
Your easiest options are to get Goo Manager & Rom Manager from the Play Store..real user friendly..won't steer you wrong with things updated for 4.3
As it stands now..one reliable source doesn't have any official PacMan roms specifically for 4.3 so at the moment you may want to seek alternatives..

Hi
I've been lurking for the past few days looking for a simple answer to this question, but all the i9505 vs i9505g compatability stuff makes it very confusing. I'll just ask and apologize if it's common knowledge already.
Is there/will there be a pre-rooted, stock 4.3 official rom zip flashable in CWM that I can flash on top of my i9505g 4.2.2 official ROM without wiping data?
EDIT: If not, what's the simplest way to flash 4.3 on my rooted stock 4.2.2 i9505g
ALSO I should have posted this in the Q&A section. Doh!
Thanks

1. I do not believe that CWM currently supports the I9505G yet due to the differing partitions from the I9505-- only TWRP supports the I9505G at this time although it is not even needed to flash to 4.3 Here is the TWRP install page. GooManager works well.
2. Will there be a pre-rooted flashable 4.3? Probably. When? No idea. You can flash this OTA update through stock recovery and it should update you without losing your data (as long as your current 4.2.2 is unmodified. You can then root 4.3 while keeping stock recovery following these instructions. Or the easier method, if you don't mind installing a custom recovery (TWRP) is to do this.
3. Yes, it was probably better to post in Q&A.

Just got my N7 the other day. It still has Android 4.3. Most of the instructions for rooting 4.4 involve flashing the whole image.
If I do the OTA update to 4.4 can I still root? Is there a walk-through for this? Do I use the same walk-through and download links for 4.3?
I also want to make sure I understand some of the Rom information. I would like to eventually put CyanogenMod on my N7. Am I correct in understanding that CyanogenMod 10.2 is based off android 4.3? CyanogenMod 11.0 will be based off Andriod 4.4? I was thinking about waiting until CyanogenMod 11.0 before putting a Rom on if this is the case. Any opinions?

You are correct about the CyanogenMod versions. Since I rooted before 4.4, I wouldn't be a good person to tell you about current rooting options.
My opinion: When you change to the CyanogenMod 11 ROM, you are going to lose the things you have your Nexus 7 if you are on a stock ROM. I would check and see if you can update from 10.2 to 11.0 without loosing your stuff. I'm pretty sure it is possible on PA ROMs and I believe CyanogenMod too. For me, that would be important, may not be to you.
P.S - CyanogenMod 11 is already out, right? Never used it but I thought it was alrady. Waiting for a more stable build?
Since this is a nexus device, you will always be able to root your device no matter what version of android you are on.
I do not believe you have to install cm 10.2 to update to cm 11. As long as your custom recovery is up to date you should be fine

I didn't mean he wouldn't be allowed. I was just saying he would need to do a clean wipe before switching ROMs. Therefore if he installed 10.2 while waiting for a more stable build of CM 11, he may not have to fully wipe before switching to CM 11. So my advice was to go ahead and get on CM 10.2 because he is already going to lose his apps/data when he unlocks bootloader/flashes custom recovery, right?
Simplest way to flash cm would be the following...
1. Download and install Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit found in the android development thread for Nexus 7 (2013)
2. Go through initial set up, the toolkit will guide you through.
3. Unlock boot loader under the "unlock" group box in the toolkit. This will completely wipe your device.
4. Download latest CM11 nightly on computer
5. Go to the advanced utilities group box button in the toolkit
6. In the top right corner select the "file is on this computer" button
7. Click flash zip and it will open another form in which you select CM11 ZIP
8. Wait for your device to go through the process
9. Once it loads custom recovery, flash your custom ROM
CM Roms are all pre-rooted (I believe) so you don't need to flash supersu.zip binary
Enjoy!

Just use fastboot and mod your tablet without relying on toolkits. Easy to follow video on RootJunky video.

Is it fairly easy to reinstall the factory image on my N7 if I decide to install Cyanogenmod, but then want to revert it back to an OEM state?
Mine appears to be named "Flo" (KOT49H) but I don't see an image for it here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Do I just need the correct version under the "razor" Wi-Fi heading?
Thanks!

Very easy. Here's the section you're looking for: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#razor
There's a file "flash-all.bat" within that will flash the stock recovery and ROM automatically. You need to unlock the bootloader first, though.

Yep, seems pretty simple. Thanks a lot!
how i can install stock jelly bean by CWM?
I think you mean CyanogenMod=CM (CWM=ClockWorkMod is a custom recovery option). Search for AOSP jelly bean roms in the optimus develpment section.
