[Q] OTA 4.3 Update + custom recovery + user stupidity - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey!
So i've just received the update, and as per instructions i rebooted to install the update. But after rebooting, clockwork recovery appeared with the options of NO, NO, NO, etc, Yes install unknown ZIP, NO, etc. Because i was doing two other things at the moment (and i'm a moron) i've clicked Cancel and rebooted.
So now i'm still on 4.2.2 and when i click on "Check for system update" in setup it says "Up to date"
Am i totally screwed with the OTA update? I'll punch myself in the face if i have to do the update manually and resetup everything on my device <.<''
Thanks!

No, you're not boned. Try this.

With the file from my /cache folder CWM gives Status 7 - Installation aborted. (i've moved the file to my "SD card")
As far as i saw, that might pop up if the ROM is not well done, but that is the file that i got from Google
So... any ideas how shall i proceed?

If you don't want to do a manual update, you can either wait it out - the OTA will come back again eventually - or, you can take a look at system/cache and see the 4.3 update.zip, move it over to your root folder, then go into CWM recovery and install that.

I think it's because you are not using stock kernel. As far as i've gathered from reading here, there is no trouble with custom recovery in general (it seems that sometimes there are issues - mine for example), but otherwise you should be stock: Google's ROM + kernel. If i was in your situation, i would flash the original kernel (you can extract it from the 4.2.2 release image). I'm not sure about multirom, you should research that.
As for my issue, after sleeping on it i think that i'll just wipe and flash the whole 4.3 image. After that i'll setup everything again.
Turns out, that the applications i need to backup data from are not so much, and i figured out where they keep the data i'm interested in. Also i want to see if wiping will help my memory issues (almost full device = slow as hell device).

open the zip file, go to META-INF--> com --> google --> android, copy the updater-script to your desktop, then delete it from the zip archive
open the file on your desktop with notepad
search for "systemui" or what ever your problem is
delete the whole line. starting with "set_progress" ending with "));"
in my situation it was:
"set_progress(0.448070);

Hey,
Sorry saw that you did a clean re-install already.
I had the same problem as you. What I did was to flash TWRP (unlike CWM it allows you to ignore the verification error) and tried to take the update again. That still failed however, because I apparently had an edited debuggerd file (happens if you use the Stickmount app). I downloaded a stock one from this thread, replaced it in system/bin, and re-flashed 4.3. Finally worked.
I then re-rooted by flashing the latest SuperSU in TWRP.

Are you replacing the 'debuggerd' file within the 4.3 zip update? Or the file on the Nexus 7 before the 4.3 is flashed?
I've tried updating 4.3 using the OTA 4.3 zip & TWRP & my nexus 7 is currenly stuck the the 'X' boot logo.

Hmm ... you are preventing the update of the SystemUI.apk? Even if your modification will work, you will have a 4.3 base system with a 4.2.2 SystemUI running ...

[update] Beta OTA

The OTA beta version was posted on XDA earlier today and removed by XDA. I am sure there are legal reasons they can't host a thread with a link to the files.
Plenty of us still have the file and may share info about it. The OTA patches exploits to root methods currently known. Join the irc and help us crack the root. Id be happy to share any file i have for you to use.
Chat with us
Thanks!

MOD EDIT: Pulled down.
You might as well take it down. It's against forum rules i believe.

Is this file tied to an IMEI? Or is the update file for any phone?
unfortunate
We don't know yet if its IMEI or sig checking I think I read that it is running checks against sigs. Also I think they only used imei to push the OTA to the phones not to lock that particular update to that particular phone
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Sorry for the newbie question, but how do I use this update?
rename the zip to update.zip and put it in the root directory of your sd card, then boot into recovery and load it. If it fails the check you may need to reflash the original sbf first.
what do you mean rename the zip? are you referring to the file name or are you referring to a specific file? and also do we need to extract the file?
In the accompanying message it said something along the lines of 'who can use this uppate/ any atrix.'

need help. did alll the steps corectly, then it says finding update package, opening update package, verifying update package, failed to read footer from /sdcard/update.zip (is a directory) signature verification failed, installation aborted. am i doing something wrong?
Has anyone tried putting the update file into their cache along with the ctc or cbc (don't remember what the file ext is) and tried hitting the update button in the phone to see if it recgonizes the update as though it actually came OTA?

As far as copying to the cache goes, I did not try that but renaming to update.zip and updating through recovery worked fine after I re-flashed to the stock sbf. It took a little bit longer to go through the initial boot process after the update than it did flashing an sbf file, but seems to be smoother overall so far, I only have about an hour on it though.

I've renamed the file to update.zip and have put it into the sdcard directory and then rebooted but have not noticed anything updating. I've also tried sdcard-ext directory. Can you explain a little as how you got this file to work? I am not rooted, and have not done any mods so I am on the original sbf.
Thanks for your help.

Place the file in the root of your sdcard ext them reboot in recovery mode and I believe it will either update or prompt for if you want to run update.zip from sdcard

When you reboot your phone hold the volume down button until you see the Fastboot text at the top of the phone, then hit the volume down button until you see it say Android Recovery, hit the volume up key to load into recovery, once you see the android guy and the triangle tap the lower right portion of the screen, from there you will have the recovery menu, at this point you can use volume up/down to select and then tap the ok at the bottom left

How do you reboot into recovery mode?
I'm thinking Moto is watching this forum very carefully to gauge the success of their root access lock-down efforts (I know I would). The only counter an open forum like this has is to delay posting of any new root access methods until after Moto's offical release of the ATRIX Update software. Time is on our side, not Moto's - their release process is long and expensive with little return in $$$. I know that devs are just starting to look at this, and a new root method is wishful thinking at this point, but just had to throw in my 2 cents.

[Q] Can you install the 4.1.2 OTA on an unlocked phone with CWM installed?

I got the ota the other day and debated installing it because my M is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked and I have flashed ClockworkMod recovery. I searched for a while to see what others were saying and didn't really find anything of note so I decided to go ahead and run the install. When the phone rebooted into recovery and tried to install the update, it gave me the following Error: E: Failed to verify whole-file signature. Then there was an option to apply unsigned update (or zip, I can't remember the wording exactly). I chose not to do this and went back in the recovery menu and rebooted back into system. The phone booted normally and then immediately rebooted on its own back into recovery to try to install the update again, ending in the same results. This happened 2-3 more times before I finally formatted the Cache Partition through cwm which ended the bootloop (not sure that you can really describe that as a bootloop since it was actually doing what it thought it should be). My question is this, is it safe to go ahead and install the unsigned update via CWM? I have also since seen threads stating that if you had removed some of the bloatware apps, that the update would fail. I have removed many of these unneeded apps, should I reinstall them? I have seen a link or two to the bloat apks...
Having a unlocked bootloader doesn't matter. You just need to be stock 4.1.1 bloatware and all.
what he said^
you can update it with cwm but you have to have all the crapware that came stock still present.
Do you have to unroot first to get it to install? I have TWRP recovery on mine and can't get the update to install.

Well I tried it and it failed the check for the Amazon MP3 app. I reinstalled it from the play store but according to another post I found later this doesn't work because it isn't installed to the /system/app directory. The only way around this that I have seen is to use the RAZR M utility to return back to out of box status and start over. Not worth it to me but if anyone has another idea, I am all ears...

You could try grabbing the apk from /data/app and moving it to /system...
Or grab it from one of the many /system dumps around here...
Someone should turn the OTA into a flashable zip from CWM/TWRP that doesn't check for that.
I may do that...

I had the same thought about moving the apk to the system/app directory and did just that. My expectation was that I would still get the error but for a different app since I just tested with the one that had been throwing the error but it didn't change, still gave the error for the amazon mp3 app even though it was successfully installed in the correct directory. Thanks for the thought though. If you could turn it into a flashable zip, I would be much appreciated. I would love to do that myself but I have no idea how. I know just enough through trial and error (and a lot of forum reading) to be dangerous...
After installing 4.1.2, I can no longer fastboot back to 4.1.1 or 4.0.6. They put in some sort of backrev check.

There is a 4.1.1 system dump here. Download it, transfer any missing apps in /system/app over to your phone.
The reason you have to have those is that the current one from the playstore will be different, causing the update check to fail and abort.

That worked at getting the system apps that I had removed back into the /syste/app directory and now the update appears to be installing... Will let you know if it works.
*UPDATE*
Well that worked like a charm, update installed successfully, root access maintained, cwm allowed me to prevent reflash of stock recovery so all is right with the world... Thanks you guys!

Well, you did give it permission one time when you weren't stressed. Now you've flashed stock and UN rooted. Next, re-enable adb then root and flash custom recovery in the same process using wugs.

I think everything is going well. but, Why my buttons and notification areas are not transparent?
I've read it's not available for the updates. You can get the Nova launcher beta which does give transparent. http://novalauncher.com/beta/

Thanks! I was in a boot loop and this solved it. Everything seems to be working fine. Are there any negative effects from not having flashed the userdata image? It doesn't update or change anything needed for 4.4?

This solution always worked fine to me without sideeffect (except yesterday when trying to downgrade...). If you are updated and your apps are working fine and storage is there, then I guess you are setup well!

[Q] Updates working?

I've been using Omni since roughly the middle of December. I've been making use of the opendelta updates...but these have stopped working since 2014-02-17. I check for updates and it tells me Your system is up to date
My phone is a N7100 (Note 2)...note sure what other information is relevant here.
Anybody else experiencing this?

Hmm, possibly the removal of the 2/18 nightly screwed up the system.
Try manually updating to see if it restarts.
I know that the Xperia ZL updates don't automagically flash... (they download on the internal sdcard drive, but attempt to flash from the external sdcard drive...)
That doesn't seem to be the issue you're describing though...

Browse to the internal in TWRP and they should autoflash then.
I need to look into fixing TWRP's default search path when flashing via a script.

I had success going into TWRP Recovery mode and unchecking the zip file signature verification box. Once I did that, the autoupdates started to work again.

After updating to 2/22 manually the next updates (2/23) was picked up...when prompted to Flash Now I did so but now the update did not go through automatically as it had/has been for the previous month or so. Browsing to the update and selecting to install it manually worked.

Can somebody remove this md5 file so i don't have to do a manual update?
This will resolve the update not working issue.

can you please tell me how to manually update omnirom, thanks
Sorry for not answer hichem but at least I see you came right.
To report back though...update went through smoothly last night.
A small (related) thing that has been bugging me though with Opendelta updates is that sometimes it takes a few Check now presses before it finds something...then it will stop and report that your system is up to date after having verified the update file you presently have and downloading the update file...press Check now again and it now patches the file before reporting that there is an update and you can flash.
Any reason to this behaviour?

4.4.2 KK Update Fix.

INFO: Rooted Version of NB4, I was on 4.4.2 Kit Kat leaked. I reverted to MJ5 from the leaked version then updated to NB4 and rooted with kingo.
Thanks to...

UPDATE: 3/30/14
The same method has been confirmed by @Budrweber but instead of using adb, just flash from your ext sd card.
NOTE: ADB SIDELOAD WILL NOT CAUSE A WIPE, BUT PUSHING THE UPDATE FROM EXTERNAL SD WILL WIPE ALL DATA.
Few users have reported unrooting on NB4 after changing files and downloading the OTA and updating normally.
USB DEBUGGING MUST BE ENABLED, if you are this far there is no need for me to explain how to turn it on. If your phone is unresponsive to your computer even though you have installed, re-install via Kies 3. Turn Kies 3 off before running ADB.
First of all, you are going to need an ADB Sideloader and it can be found here.
Install to directory C:\Mini-SDK
We'll come back to ADB later.
Now you're going to need the update file found here.
Rename the file to update. (DO NOT NAME UPDATE.ZIP, JUST "UPDATE".)
Place "UPDATE" into the same directory as your ADB C:\Mini-SDK
Now lets leave ADB and the Update file alone and start replacing the files on your phone!
You'll need the following files.
system/xbin/dexdump (if deleted you can find the file here or you can copy/paste & replace)
system/csc/feature.xml (If deleted find it here.
Delete the original "feature.xml" and rename "feature.xml.bak" to "feature.xml")
Download the fix.zip from this page.
You do not have to reset permissions, I did not how ever do as you feel and works for you.
Step 1 copy the mobicore-presetup.sh to /system/bin
Step 2 copy all the APK files to /system/app.
Now navigate to system/bin
You should have a "ddexe" file, if it is named "ddexe_real", rename it to 'ddexe".
This should fix all the known errors in the process of adb side loading.
If you continue to get more errors use the file dump located here.
UPDATE: app_process is another recurring error, please grab this file from the dump uploaded from @smokeystack76
Now to the fun and most anticipated part of the day...
Volume + button up, power and home button all at the same time. Release once you see Recovery mode.
Navigate to Update from ADB.
Plug up to USB.
Now, when you start windows cmd prompt, you can either start from the ADB folder is located in by control, shift + right clicking or manual cmd.exe in "run" or "search"
Once command prompt is loaded,
Type in the following command.
"CD /D C:/MINI-SDK"
Then if you are in the right directory and you placed the "update" file accordingly... type...
ADB SIDELOAD UPDATE.ZIP(the file name should not have .zip or you will get a "can not read" message.)
and now you should be on your way to 4.4.2 Kit Kat.
Not bad. The system dump is here.
Now you need to post links to this thread in the other thread
Thanks for the step by step. I'll try this tomorrow.
You were on a rooted NB4, correct? You restored to MJ5, updated to NB4, rooted, and then did this?

Correct.
For anyone trying to find an easy way around this whole update mess. Just go to your local best buy store and talk to one of the Samsung reps. They don't have the kit kat update yet but however they can reflash 4.3 on your phone wiping out all your data (make sure you do a back up from home) and this will let you get the OTA update with no problems. My note 3 has been rooted twice one being last night and it worked. Just make sure your not rooted when you take your phone.

is this one use the official 4.4.2 or the leak?
Has anyone tried doing an emergency restore (or whatever it's called) through kies first then trying to get the OTA to work without failing?
It seems like it's 50/50 on who's works and who's fails. Am I right?

So did you root with Kingo too when you were on NB4? I didn't want to use Kingo, but I thought what the heck, and used it for quick rooting. Then after the Kitkat update, I realize I have SuperSU as a system app even after factory reset. Apps like CPU-Z reports my devices is rooted when it's not.
Is this the only thing that's not same as pure stock NC2?

you can re-run and use kingo to remove the root
Also if you are weary of the update, back up your files and apps then factory reset. Once you are factory reset, download the OTA but just hit "remind me later".
Do the instructions in the OP and after it installs it tells you that you have an update pending, install the update and it covers any files that may have went missing in the update.zip.
If you wanted to be 200% sure.
I am set at official and with no custom lock and Knox is 0x0.
