If you are going to flash custom ROM; use a toolkit to Root it; flash custom recovery of your choice. Then copy custom ROM to ur phone; go to recovery and flash it. You don't need to downgrade your boot loader.

Does this mean we can downgrade from 4.3 to 4.2.2 custom ROM?
I'm not having a good time with 4.3 stock rooted and custom kernel and thinking about going back to CM 10.1.2. All I need to do is flashing the custom ROM in recovery?

Yes you will be fine. Before PA 4.3 rom was released, I was using Latest 4.3 bootloader with 4.2.2. I am going to revert to 4.2 as well. I noticed 4.3 battery is really good but sometime touchscreen doesnt response / volume buttons doesnt work.

for unresponsive screen go to 'developer options', 'hardware accelerated options', 'disable HW overlays' and select 'always use gpu for screen compositing'. Works for me but setting doesn't seem to stick on reboots.

^^ oh okay thanks but I am already back to the good old 4.2.2 .

Hi I´m quite new to this and did recently flash my second custom rom. I went from CM10.1 (4.2.2) back to stock image, and flashed
[AOSP]Official 4.3- S4 Google Edition- Finaly v2.0 - Feel the Experience of Nexus. The phone is running hot and I´m kind of dissapointed with the
lack of tweaks in Google Edition. So I´d like to go back to CM
So if I understand you right I can from 4.3 flash my stock image (from TWRP) which was on 4.2.2? Without worrying.

Did you make a nandroid backup when you were stock? That should be the easiest way to get back to stock. If you didn't then you will need to use odin to flash back to stock.

Dead Android bot on update install

SO my N7 is rooted through Wugs tool, it has been great so far!
Now though, when I try to install the system update, my little android bot dies with an exclamation mark above him and I have to hard reboot.
Any ideas?
Probably because you now have a custom recovery instead of stock.

So what would be the best route to fix this, I am overly tired of getting prompted to install my system update.
Thanks
Freeze the update apk.

I think he's asking for a way to update it with the custom recovery installed...I could be wrong though.

My goal would be to update my N7, if for no other reason, than to stop getting pop ups every 10mins asking to install the update.
I am running WugFresh's toolkit 1.5.2, My tablet is running Jellybean 4.1.1 RO03C
An OTA update will not install or will not install correctly on a device that has been modified from stock.
But if your device has a custom recovery installed (flashed via Wugs) you can install a custom 4.2 ROM and you will have everything you would get from the OTA. The 4.2 stock rooted rom from scrosler is a good ROM to start with. Or use wugs to return to stock and take the OTA. Then from there you can root/ flash whatever you want to do.

thanks for this thread,
im in exactly the same position except havent clicked accept update yet and glad i havent lol
asked many times but always get mixed answer's about updating my rooted nexy with twrp recovery, i did use goo manager to update to the latest twrp recovery
so im not sure if i need to un-root to update as the new twrp is supposed to work with 4.2?

Not everything is 4.2 Stock I'm using Frank- kernel not the Stock one
don't have the stock one anyone more
also I am updated Sound to beats Auto Mod
Checked the boot Video to a Custom one .
Okay FIxed using N-Cry tool kit it will wipe everything so back up before hand
seriously? flashing stock 4.3 over stock 4.2.2 but with some mods will not work?
I understood it was possible but flashing instead doing OTA. is it true?
This is one of the reasons why I stay unrooted as I get OTA updates without hassle and without losing any data. No need to flash or backup anything.
No risk of bricking the phone.

Rooted N7 - best way to update to 4.3 ROM?

I rooted my N7 (NE370T) a few months ago but can't remember how I did it. I would now like to flash a stock 4.3 ROM to it, and was looking for the safest way of doing it while retaining root. I have CWM 6.0.1.9 installed - would it be easiest to install a flashable stock rooted ROM zip from CWM? (e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2376881)
I'm currently on v4.2.1 (JOP40D)

Yes it would be easiest to flash a 4.3 ROM actually. I went the way of Clean ROM 4.0 and faux kernel and I don't regret it. It came pre rooted and optimized. Though as always you should make a nandroid before you flash anything.
Also, make sure your bootloader is up to date if you have problems flashing a 4. 3 ROM

Sorry for the dumb question, but how do I check and update my bootloader version??
Check the dev section for the latest bootloader. As for checking, you'd have to use commands in fastboot and I'm sorry I don't know them. Basically what I would do is just do as I said in the previous post. If things don't work, then it's obvious you'd need to either update Cwm or your bootloader or both.

You might want to have a look at my blog, there I described a very easy way for updating to 4.3
Boot loader version comes up in the bootloader screen ( vol down + vol up + power while tab is off ) .. And to flash the bootloader
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
4.23 is the latest version for bootloader.
Sent from my Nexus 7
Thanks for all the help. I managed to successfully flash a pre-rooted 4.3 stock ROM from a zip using CWM recovery. I suspect that my bootloader may not be the latest but everything seems to be working OK so I guess it's OK to leave it.

[Q] Unroot without full wiping

I recently realized that I use no root requiring apps or custom ROMs on my Nexus 7(while I keep my phone rooted for many a reason). Now that I hear the 4.4 update is being pushed, it occurs to me that all keeping a custom recovery and root on my tablet does is complicate updates. So I want to unroot, return my recovery to the stock, and get myself all ready to wait for the update to push out. What would be the best way to do this that does not require me to lose data/game saves/have to reset everything up?
Fastboot flash the stock recovery and don't worry about su because the ota will take care of that.

I am sure this has been answered somewhere and I did search the forum before posting but right now i am pretty excited about 4.4 and would like the experts to answer this regarding grouper :-
I got the 4.3 update OTA on a rooted 4.2. I later rooted the 4.3 but did not remove any default apps. I also have frano kernel installed and TWRP recovery. Does the kernel and custom recovery affect the OTA process? Am i safe for 4.4 OTA? or shall i unroot, install stock kernel and also stock recovery?
Thanks
You should be fine if you install the stock recovery before the OTA arrives
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Open the SuperSU app on your device.. Go to the app settings and select the option to unroot/clean up.. Reboot. That is all.

Yes, you'll want the stock kernel and stock recovery installed.
On grouper, it can update independent of changes you have made to the system and recovery. This isn't true for all other nexus devices, for example, mako. Doing the 4.4 update will get rid of root for you, but it will flash fine even if you have a custom recovery. You may need to flash stock recovery manually if you don't want custom recovery anymore.

In the past, that has failed for me. I'm still one update behind on 4.3 because it would not install and I was too lazy previously to unroot and get it to install.

Do you know where I can find the recovery itself? Only ones I find in my searching are TWRP and Clockwork.

Did you ever find the stock recovery? I'm looking to unroot without losing my app data..
PS, sorry for bringing this back from the dead, but it is exactly what I am looking for.

[Q] My Note 3 went %&$&$%

I have been using the CM11 rom from Temasek until I decided to have a go at the Omega Rom. After installing through recovery, my note cannot get out of the Samsung Logo. It just refused to start. Tried installing latest stock rom through odin, same issue. Saw three lines of messages on the top left hand corner and the Samsung logo and that's it. Can only get it working if I revert back to Temasek's rom.
Help anyone...

which versions of omega and stock rom did you flash ? i read you said the newest, just asking to be sure.
if its the newest omega rom, you must flash 4.4.2 stock rom first.
when you upgrade to 4.4.2, you can no more use cm11 and you cant go back to any 4.3 based rom.

I tried the 7.1 Omega Rom and then the 4.4.2 version of the stock rom.
You have to flash the stock 4.4.2 via Odin. Is that what you did?

Try to boot into recovery after flashing the stock 4.4.2 and factory reset. Maybe that will work.

Flash stock 4.3 with odin, then 4.4.2 stock with odin. Then install recovery, and Omega after.

that shouldnt be possible if you done everything right.
as soon as you are on the new bootloader that you get when you flash 4.4.2, you can definatley not revert to temasek, it wont boot.
i think you are still on the old bootloader and that is why your kitkat based roms dont boot.
