[Q] Nexus 7 3g/tilapia JWR66Y no flashable zip? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I've been browsing the forums over and over, but it appears to me, that there is no 'easy' way to go to JWR66Y for the tilapia model via TWRP or CWM. Or did I miss anything?
Thanks for any help!

fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Probably will take ~2-3 minutes to flash.
Done.

How to Get stock kernel back so you can get OTA updates

How to get Stock kernel back to get nexus 7 ota updates
i once used DR BEATS audio mod it is not installed now but still i cannot install OTA update which i still repent installing that mod
The easiest way for you would be to do the update manually:
- Get the factory image and extract the following files:
- bootloader-grouper-4.23.img
- boot.img
- system.img
If you want to keep root, get
- UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip
and copy it to /sdcard and be sure, that you have a custom recovery installed.
Do a nandroid backup before starting and then do a
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-4.23.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
reboot into recovery and flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip
Do a reboot system and, congrats, you should be on Android 4.3 without loosing any data.

Can you guide me how to fastboot flash is it in cwm custom recovery or i need to do that with wugfresh toolkit

Neither you need a PC to do it. Read about both adb and fastboot instead of having everything spoon fed. That way when something goes wrong you have some idea what to do.

Warning: Update to LRX21Q fails when rooted.

Hi all,
on my Nexus 9, update to LRX21Q failed: After reboot, the android icon was shown with "error" below.
I suppose, update failed as my system is rooted with the method Chainfire posted in the development forum.
After an additional reboot, the previous firmware is still shown. The system does not offer the update anymore but claims to be up-to-date.
Any hints? Thanks in advance.
Maybe it's the modified kernel from Chainfire. Try to get back to the stock kernel and try again.
Download the factory image, flash recovery, boot, system & vendor.
Your software will be updated and you won't lose any data. You will lose root however.
I got the same error from OTA with no root. Only had 9 for 2 days, got OTA rite out of box no issue.
Yesterday for new build i get little error android icon upon reboot/install.
Obviously, something that is being changed by the "root" process is being checked DURING the update process. Probably a checksum on the boot partition. If it doesn't match, it bails on the update.
The likely reason for this is they acknowledge that you don't want to lose your root.
All it means is that you need to do the update manually.
It may be possible for a modified recovery to bypass this check, or possibly even be made to auto-root new boot images.
Thanks, guys. Will try as suggest above and post results.
Update: worked perfectly, needed to root again though.

Thank you sir .
Where can i find the images for download. Thx
Google for nexus factory image.
Sent from my Nexus 9 using XDA Premium HD app
Update failed on me too. Completely stock
UPDATE:
Apparently *some* devices didn't get the recovery updated with the last update (LRX21L).
The new update (LRX21Q) requires the newer version of the recovery to install.
Google really messed up the launch of the Nexus 9 with all the HW/SW quality control issues
Serious f#ck-up from Google really
Interesting thing I noticed: I restored factory images manually in order to unroot and the OTA was no longer available. I verified I was still running on L. I manually installed the update and it went in just fine.
Now waiting on the root package to be updated for the Q kernel. You can re-root but you will be running on the L kernel, not the Q kernel.

6.0.1 - How to flash?

I am looking for a clear explanation of how to flash Android 6.0.1 with root and encryption disabled without wiping data. With all the explanations through the forum, all the "if's" and "but's" get confusing and can be clear as mud. Thanks for your help.
i'm on 6.0 with a stock kernel with encryption disabled and an unlocked bootloader as well.
As far as i can tell you need 2 things.. Flash the System.IMG manually and then we need to wait for someone to post a modified stock 6.0.1 kernel that has encryption disabled too. you can get away with just flashing system.IMG and stay on your older 6.0 de encrypted kernel but I have seen online that wonky things happen when you dont stay up to date on your kernel sometimes.

Where did you find or see this new 6.0.1 modified boot.img that has encryption disabled?
all you need is wugfresh tool kit and go into the Advanced settings and choose to flash individual files. and flash the boot.img to your device.
so flash the 6.0.1 system.img first and then flash the 6.0.1 modified boot.img 2nd.
remember that when you flash anything from fastboot, after the item is finished, the device reboots so you need to watch the device and have your fingers prepared to hold down power and volume down so the device goes back into fastboot and doesnt start booting again on its own.

It's been my understanding that Wug Fresh Tool Kit has been having some issues.
What about recovery, will it have to re-flashed? And what about root?

your recovery should remain as long as oy only flash the system.img and boot.img. you will need to reroot but I cant help you there unfortunately as I am not rooted myself since I need Androidpay to work.
i h avent had any issues with wugfrsh tool kit but if anything you dont have to use it. you can just go to the wugfresh tool kit folder and run the ADB and manually flash with the flash commands manually.

So you don't think I will need flash TWRP after flashing everthing.
I am hoping enough people chime in on how to do this so I can make a clear set of instructions.
I will let you know in a few min.
I just finished flashing 6.0.1 system.img, bootloader.img, cache.img, modified boot.img you posted and the device is at the android is upgrading screen.
if its successful, I will reboot into my recovery which had TWRP previously. if thats good i will let you know.

so I have one problem now.
when My device fully boots up it now says :
"there's an internal problem with your device"
the only reference I can find to this is in regards to the Nexus 9 and flashing the Vendor.IMG file but nothing for phone devices.
any one know anything about this?
I h ave a feeling its because i flashed the stock 6.0.1 bootloader.IMG over my modified bootloader.IMG and I have TWRP installed AND a modified boot.img...
if i could find a new modified bootloader.img for 6.0.1 that would be awesome.
BTW my TWRP is still installed and launches fine.

LTE shows.. if i reboot the device its back to H again no matter how long i let it sit. I flashed everything except user.img so I have the latest Radio as well. makes no sense :/

I was getting the android of death when booting into TWRP.
So, I did this:

-fastboot reboot-bootloader
*on your fone* using the volume buttons search for "RECOVERY"
-boot into recovery
-thank me!

I am facing the same problem. After flashing the files manually as below -

3) fastboot reboot-bootloader
4) fastboot flash boot boot.img
5) fastboot flash cache cache.img
6) fastboot flash system system.img
7) fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
I rebooted the phone into bootloader and flashed TWRP. After flashing I could boot into TWRP, but if I reboot and try to boot into TWRP little android guy appears.
What am I doing wrong?

after you flash TWRP, if you reboot, the system will flash the stock recovery back if its not the original
after u flash TWRP, u need to boot into recovery, and then flash the expected SuperSU.zip
the supersu zip script will edit the system and disable the flashing of stock recovery

Can't you flash the B052 version with Fastboot?

Normally you will then be on stock boot, recovery and system images.

help soft bricked stuck on animation tried many things no luck

as the tittle says... i am soft-bricked, stuck on google animation.. I did a install of the full android rom 1.4 from zulu99 and everything worked like a champ but i wanted to go back to stock for the kids and now i am stuck
I can access fastboot and recovery on the device and compute recognizes it also..
I downloaded the stock image for marsh 3.2.0 and i flashed all the required files:
fastboot flash staging blob
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot reboot
it reboots and goes to the google animation and it just stays there!!!(left it there for a day!!!) i also tried to flashing fastboot flash tegra210-foster-e-p2530-0930-e02-00.dtb and did not fix it..
also tried to flash 3.1.0 same steps and no go... i know my adb files are up to date... any ideas?
I was able to flash full android 1.4 from zulu again and works like a champ but i need stock for the kiddos.
try flashing twrp recovery from there wipe system and data partition then reboot into fastboot flash 3.2 again
i was stuck at the boot animation about a month ago after the 3.2 update.... see my post in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/shi...ion-screen-t3263143/post67564062#post67564062
please note: i used the 3.1 recovery image because the 3.2 image had not been released yet. have not tried it with the newer 3.2 image
also, if you follow my post and install the 3.1 image....be sure to flash the files in the order posted! some will flash quickly, but one or two took awhile to complete, so be patient and wait for each step to finish before moving on to the next.
yes, i saw ur post and how you solved it and i did try the same thing and it did not fix it.. it just gets me to the animation screen... i am gonna try to load twrp from fastboot, wipe.. then re install everything and once done, i will try to fastboot -w and see if that helps me...
