4.3 USA - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am using a stock, non-rooted N7 and I haven't gotten the 4.3 update! I am getting a bit irritated. No matter how many times I click check update, 4.2.2 is the 'Up To Date' OS! Is there a way to force the update without having to just flash the new ROM? I don't want to take the time to root it just to get new software I SHOULD be getting soon anyways. Also, if it makes a difference, as I know some updates roll out based on region, I am in the mid USA

Have patience. Also, if you want to update, no need to root, that's a myth on Nexus devices.

Okay thanks. I'm thinking about getting the new one anyways and giving that one away yet. Not sure yet...... I want the update now though :-/

I'd be surprised though, i9020 didn't get any radio update either with JB.

Will there be a root...

I just picked up one of these and been reading up on it all... I checked I am on a new update so it looks like there's no root for me correct? Do you think a way may turn up? Is anyone working on it?...is there anything I can do like maybe call Verizon and hope a CLND will not have the update. .. thank you for any input

Sent from my XT907 using xda app-developers app
So wait, even if we have the update, it's okay, we can just downgrade?
Also, OP, I'm sure you got your RAZR for free on contract, but I bought mine new on eBay to keep my unlimited data. I dunno if $280 was too much for you, I usually wait until a phone has been out for a year or so and then I can snag it for $250-350 off contract, new.
On the bright side, now you can get the latest device when it comes out for a reasonable price.
If I were you, I'd take advantage of the return policy ($35 restocking fee) and get like the nicest phone possible- maybe hit up a Verizon store and try them all out. I know the Dinc 4G LTE and Droid DNA had 2-3 more bars than the Motorola and Samsung (and Apple) phones, but they all may use different "bar calibrations".
The only reason I got the RAZR M was because a good deal came up on eBay and the seller took a pic of the barcode/info, so I saw the firmware version before buying.
Best of luck!

Yeah, that sucks. Gotta love the timing.
I found the 98.16.1 update file tried to apply it via recovery no go...I'm not going to risk trying to RSD the whole XML.. so I just called Verizon... asked if I could request a replacement without the update... he said... we can make a note to the warehouse but I cannot promise you one without the update as all CLND will be updated within two weeks of the push... so one can only hope...
Even if I can't get a an older version I'm probably gonna keep the M kinda a Motorola fanboy... I mean it was the first hand held cell phone I believe...

Mine updated itself last night. Okay, fine, I probably accidentally hit the update button. Anyway, now I have a locked, unrooted M. Good thing that X is coming soon.
I got my M for $50, but was able to keep my unlimited data. It helps to know people in the business.

Just to detail here a little. The root method is still Motochopper. With the help of realbbb on the HD, SamuriHL was able to produce a script to perform the function. I merely adapted it for the M.
This method essentially rolls back the device thru a modified fxz without flashing the tz partition, roots with Motochopper, protects root, updates then restore root.

Android 4.4, KitKat

Will our device, the Nexus 7 v1, get the official Androidd 4.4, KitKat upgrade?
I would be surprised (and angry) if not.
It still has more than enough hw resource.
Surely it'll.

I'm pretty sure that even the GNex will get it. Google will continue to update any Nexus devices that have enough HW.

Oh hell yeah. Adding on to that statement, you also realize that Android 4.4 KitKat is supposed to be supporting older devices and be hardware friendly. Sure it'll come to the Google Nexus, probably the first devices to receive it too. It might even hit the oldest generation of the GNex as well. I have an S4, but my fav ROM is the Google Edition 4.3 which is what I'm running right now! I've been looking on various news articles about 4.4 and I'm extremely excited for it! Apparently, there's rumors that we're going to be receiving a launcher with 4.4 called "Google Experience". It's not a huge update but there are some subtle UI changes which is what I'm dying to get to use. Hopefully it's all what we're looking for!
:good:
Launch
I read, that launch of KitKat should be today.. Does someone know anything more? :fingers-crossed: can´t wait..
As far as I know, it's a rumor.
You guys know only units purchased on a Tuesday will get 4.4......right?????

I predict the 28th of October. The rumors I've seen suggested the 18th or 28th, but I believe it should be released on a Monday and that would suggest the 28th. Anyone else notice that in recent times Android releases have rotated between Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday? 4.3 was released on a Wednesday so 4.4 should be released on a Monday.

It is and has been a rumor as far as the release date goes. People now would like to say it'll be released on the 28th due to hints on KitKat's twitter page. Who knows. As far as that goes it's all just the media's speculation and none of it is 100% legit.

I'm rather peeved about this delay also. We paid for the MOST EXPENSIVE version of the tablet, and we get treated like stepchildren.
I bet Verizon is behind this with their 800 lb gorilla "fart and the world thanks you" attitude about approving updates and devices. The negative of a single-SKU device. Waiting on some monkey in a Verizon office to decide the update is kosher.

Given that the Nexus 4 is also delayed, it likely has something to do with cellular radio firmware, rather than anything involving Verizon. Just a guess, though.

Now would be a good time to rollback to stock recovery/kernel so that the OTA installs smoothly..
i just rooted on saturday and am still on the latest 4.3, any idea if OTA is a bad idea?
I was so confused because Phandroid.com states that "It’s worth noting that Google specifically mentions “Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 versions with mobile data,” so if you’ve got a WiFi only device or don’t currently have service, you probably won’t be seeing an update in the immediate future." So I'm assuming they are wrong... (not unusual).
Damn it! No New Google Launcher experience. I'll be posting the OTA link in the morning. Of noone poste it early.

After update to KK bit torrents are extremely slow...

I was downloading at 3mb per second before update now it takes ages to even start up and then I'm only downloading at like 150 kbps.
The weird thing is every time i do a speed test I average between 30-40 mb per second. So I know it's only with bit torrents. Any ideas why or a fix?

I found this today, that is somewhat related, http://www.ttorrent.pro/archives/443. It's not exactly what issue I'm encountering. I tried modifying the platform.xml file, but then I had all kinds of issues. Ultimately, I've gone back to 4.2.2. I think I'll give 4.4.2 some time to sort through it's issues.
My advise stay at 4.2.2. Wait for the next update and skip 4.4.2.
