Okey so yesterday I couldn't wait anymore and wanted to update my Nexus 7 to 4.2 but couldn't.
After restarting it did initiate the update but right after it gave me a red triangle with a (!)
And now I can't see any updates anymore. I yet I'm on 4.1.2 still
Dang it..

Download the 4.2 factory images from google and flash via fastboot.
Consider yourself lucky and stay with 4.1.2
I have the same problem as well. When I first tried to get the update, the Android had a red ! And failed the update. Now, it says no update available....
I'm not sure if I should wait until a more stable version is out, however.

Aren't there enough 4.2 bashing threads that you feel the need to take this one off-topic?
The OP asked for help not for your opinion.

Have you modified, frozen, or deleted any of the stock system files? The update checks for approximately 200 files and if any aren't stock, will fail. Your best bet, as someone else said, is going to be to fastboot flashing the stock image. Be forewarned that you'd be essentially starting from scratch as it would wipe your tablet, but I'd personally find that preferable since you'd be circumventing some of the issues that are irking the most vocal of 4.2's critics.

I actually just purchased the tablet, and out of the box the first thing I tried to do was update, and it failed.
I'm not very knowlegable about flashing the factory image myself, but I've heard about updating using a "toolkit"? Is this easier?

Yup, easier. But using a command line and the android SDK/fastboot isn't all that hard... maybe your issue is just the universes way of saying you should go learn a new trick. :cyclops:
However I doubt the universe will waste any energy punishing you if you choose to go the easy route. Plus, you can always read the thorough directions for both routes and make an educated decision before you get your hands even the least bit dirty.

Why not, it's a safe operation.
If you're completely stock, and update fails, either try again (and again, and again), or send it to repair (slowest). Or fastboot (fastest).

well, in that case, id rather root it and flash a custom rom, and thats probably what i am gonna end up doing... ill see, thanks for the answer
Hello. Just received my Nexus 10 and really want to root, although pretty scared in case of bricking my device. Can anyone tell me if the current version of the [NEXUS 10 TOOLKIT V1.3.0] is working FULLY? I see posts on the actual thread containing the toolkit that peoples devices wont boot fully, but also people saying their thanks as it has worked for them. I cannot post in that thread due to having no post count.
Also, when I open up the Toolkit it asks me what build I am using, which is 4.2.1, but the only build displayed is 4.2.0 (not my build), so how do I get around this and tell the toolkit my build is 4.2.1.
Thanks
It got me into a boot loop after unlocking the device, had to go into the custom recovery to fix it. Make sure you read the instructions given by the developer on the first page before using the tool kit. Same with choosing the build, check about phone in settings and then see what build you have before chosing your os.

Hey thanks for the info, well I was about to use it but like I said after opening the toolkit and having my device connected it only displayed the build 4.2.0 but my build is 4.2.1, is the toolkit only available for 4.2.0 or how do I select my build (4.2.1) , thanks

I did take a look at that but what are the requirements to use it? As it doesn't say on the thread. My nexus is fully stock apart from the 4.2.1 update. Thanks again for the reply

Just select the 4.2.0 build even though you have 4.2.1. It worked great for me. It says somewhere in the post that you can use the 4.2.0 for 4.2.x builds.

Oh well I guess il try it then. So for you it was as simple as following the instructions on the toolkit? I'm extremely paranoid of bricking my device
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk 2
That is the toolkit I used and it worked fine. I felt comfortable with it because it is the same guy I used the toolkit from on my Galaxy Nexus. I didnt read any instructions since I already know how to use it and had no problems. I wasnt even aware of any "special requirements"
Hmmm I may be wrong but I thought the boot loader needed unlocking for that one ?

I used the toolkit on my nexus 10 after i upgraded it to 4.2.1 Just selected the do everything option and followed the directions. Worked like a champ.

I haven't done it yet because there hasn't been an update since I rooted but there is an app called OTA Rootkeeper that is supposed to allow you to take ota updated and maintain root.

Not sure how it works on Nexus 10 as I am yet to receive mine but on Nexus 7 even after rooting the device using Mskip's toolkit I am able to receive OTA updates without any issues.
Being the same developer and similar toolkit I think it should work.

To receive OTA updates you must have a locked bootloader and stock recovery. Doesnt matter what much though since if you want an update to whatever OTA comes out, someone ALWAYS compiles a 100% stock rooted ROM based on whatever latest OTA has just come out. Usually it is on the very same day as the official OTA too
But I still recommend a custom ROM. Craig's AOSP+ is basically the stock ROM but comes with many fixes for things broken on just running stock, and increases compatibility with external devices.
I could use some help on how to utilize my donation code. I have scanned the thread very well and cannot find out how to use the code after donation. I am a non posting donator to many forums and threads. Successfully modified dozens of devices. This is the first one I am to excited to work the bugs out myself. I have the 4.2.1 update, got it unlocked but, cannot get any further. The tool just keeps stopping. It obviously works, I am just missing something that is probably really simple. I would also like the functionality of the donator options. Any help would be greatly appreciated.........................Just found donator portal. Still stuck after unlocked bootloader.
I myself cannot find the donor portal, I am going crazy trying to find it. Can someone please tell me where it is? This is my first time rooting a device. Thanks

Toolkit works well. I got to eager and forgot to terminate ADB. I opened my task mgr. on windows and felt like a real boob, had like 20 cmd windows open. Still having a heck of a time accessing donator tools. Put in code from main menu #26. But, no updates to the kit. Nexus 10 + x-mas = no sleep.
Hello! I have an unrooted N7 that is stuck with 4.1.1. I regularly get a notification advising me of an update & I run it through the process only to be discouraged to find I'm still stuck with 4.1.1.
Can anyone help? I don't want to root & do a bunch of crazy stuff to get the update. Is there a good fix without rooting?
FYI, I found a "fix" that required turning off WiFi, clearing the some of the systems cache, turning the WiFi back on & searching for an update. No dice...

If you have nothing to lose your best and easiest fix would most likely be to perform a factory reset.

Try applying the update. When your tablet reboots and you see the Android on your screen, hold down the power button then, while holding it down, press volume up. That'll put the stock recovery in verbose mode. When it errors out, post what the text says here.

Yes, I wanted to say this. stay on 4.1.1 or 4.1.2,.... 4.2.x is a piece of crap. Much slower, not the same device at all.
Thanks for advice, then I tried not to update to 4.2 and be happy at stucked 4.1.2

4.2.1 is pretty stable, stability is not the problem, but initially it broke a lot of apps compatibility (ok, this will be solved in time), but no matter what I do I have feeling it is slower, and it stutters. I never had this with 4.1.1 or 4.1.2. And I was so happy with my Nexus until 4.2 Anyways, I had 4.2 on my original Nexus, then it died and I sent for repairs, now I have new motherboard (so it counts as different device) and factory-installed 4.2 and it is the same. Even sometimes when playing a game it just stops for a split second... Trust me, new notifications and multi user (if you're not using it) is not worth the smoothness of 4.1.1

Thanks for reply, I'm curious to know as why my N7 stuck at 4.1.2, there may be reason as I tried several times update (reboot and installed, stuck at 4.1.2) no matter how I tried) but I'm peace in mind as 4.1.2 stability.
My N10 is rooted but with a stock ROM. Earlier on it said that there was an update (4.3) and it downloaded it, re booted and then came up with an error saying 'no command' while displaying the small pic of the Android. It sat there for 10 mins and then eventually booted back into the OS. When I checked the version, it was back to 4.2.2.
Now when I check for an update, it says that there's no update available.
What do I do?

That message is okay. Nothing is wrong with your tablet, other than the fact that the update didn't take. Do as the above poster said, or manually install the OTA.

Thanks guys. I cleared Google Framework Data and the download started again and failed again. This time, all it said was "error"!
I really don't want to zero the tablet again and lose all my data by doing the update manually. Is there any way to avoid that?
Also is there anything great about 4.3 that makes the update worth doing?

You can manually update without performing a factory reset by just pushing boot and system, although you need to know what can go wrong before you try.
Same issue, rooted and custom recovery.
But if they are investigation, maybe I won't remove the custom recovery, too much work.
I got the 'error' screen too. pressed power and volume and it told me that build.prop failed the file check, pulled an fresh copy out of the old factory image, copied it to my n10 and tried the OTA again. All went ok, now on 4.3
Same error!!
Already did a factory reset and still have the error
Same problem here. Rooted on stock. Keep going to Recovery, then errors when trying to apply the 'untrusted' update, as it states.

My N4 just arrived today.
I have version 4.2.2 installed.
A quick search on gooogle shows a lot of negative feedback from users on the 4.3 update.
I want to root it too but I'm unsure about the update, have you ecountered problems with latest update that couldn't be fixed?
Or better said, what are the most common bugs and can they be fixed?
Also what about roms, which one should i try, PA?
Some people experienced random reboots, I never had them on JWR, I do on JSS.
Also JSS has sometimes dead locks and freezes for about 10 seconds.
But since the update I experience much better battery life! So yeah if you will use the stock ROM I guess you wont have any of these problems, only advantages.
Thanks for the question and the answer, I'm in the same spot and maybe I'll try some custom JWR this weekend, although the plethora of different specific 4.3 bugs going around - besides those already mentioned - remembers a X-File case.

4.3.3 is actually a great upgrade with tons of features and additions. It is just brand new so there are a few bugs to be worked out. But 4.2.2 has bugs that won't be worked out at all.

If you want a reliable jwr custom ROM then cataclysm is awesome and has no problems either for me.
I use stock for unrooted and cataclysm rooted regularly for different reasons but I definitely recommend updating to 4.3 regardless.

You can always go back to a previous version. I'm not really sure why you're being so skittish.
FYI, "5.0" will likely be far more riddled with bugs. More changes means more room for error. You have a freaking Nexus. Get with the program.
My advice to you is to not use a toolkit. Setup fastboot and know how to flash the stock images BEFORE attempting anything. That way, if something goes wrong you can fix it without making yet another "HALP! I bricked my phone" thread. We have way too many of those.
