What method did you use to root it? What OS version did you have when you tried?

Use wugfresh toolkit, then go to bootloader then do an unroot, (soft-brick) after the method is done, follow steps on wugfresh and reroot, you can also install twrp, not sure if cwm is there or not.

Try the manual method.. Toolkits are never recommended by pros here..

[Q] nexus 7 toolkit root failed

Hi all,
I am new to Android and just used the nexus 7 toolkit v3.2 to unlock my nexus 7. The rooting seemed to proceed without a hitch, but after the reboot it doesn't seem to be rooted, according to root checker. What should I do?
Thanks in advance
Root manually. This is a Nexus, there's no need for all this toolkit crap. (No offense to the devs of course, they are awesome)

Use Wug's toolkit, it's better. The devs of that toolkit you are using have only given updates to paid members - that toolkit version is quite old.

Don't use a toolkit. It is one command to unlock, one command to flash cwm. Then you flash supersu from cwm. It takes less than 2 minutes.
Agree, but OP seems like a newbie.

Could you provide a link to instructions? It would really help, thanks.
I was able to get rooted, and flash cwm using wug's toolkit. I also found instructions to do it manually, so I will try that next time. Thanks!

Failing to update to 4.2. from 4.1.2 (JZO54K to JOP40C)

The device is stock.
Update fails and gives the error .
assert failed: apply_patch_check("EMMC:/dev/b*lock/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by*-name/LNX:5013504:c48f8e86c73f*b2c2ba1794f5ec98e27c9e206ed5:5*060608:319331fae14fec8a8806375*1475fce26bae328e0")
Tried restoring factory settings,downloading manually,clearing data from google services framework to force push the update over and over again.
When receiving OTA update, it starts fine and at about 1/3 of the update the android falls on its side and has a red triangle with an exclamation point on it. If I boot to recovery from that it shows me the error mentioned above, same as trying to sideload through adb.
In need of advice or should I just go return the damn thing and get a new one?

So you just flashed the stock rom and updated OTA? Btw I currently am 100 percent stock so will that have any effect?

[Q] Updating Error - Rooted Nexus 7

Hi all, i've been trying to update my nexus 7 from 4.1.2 (JZO54k) to 4.2 (JOP40C), i had rooted my device with the toolkit from wugfresh, even when ota update keeps appearing, when i tried to do it, the instalation stops and appears the red triangle error. I tried to do it with the ADB method, but when the package is sendind from the ABD to the nexus, it appears
verifyng current system...
assert failed: apply_patch_check ("/system/app/GooglePinyinIME.apk". "c3fd85ab52cd139b4d8440a6b06623451aa46210". "737423314e1a53013fb0c5f7568fb2f9998abdcf")
Installation aborted.
What can I do?
It does this because you'll modified or deleted system files. The OTA will not flash if you aren't stock.
You can always just download the stock image from Google and fastboot flash it.

You used the toolkit to root, just use it to return to stock. Download the latest version and just click return to stock

afaik yes, Another thing you could do is look around for a cwm flashable variant of the latest google rom, that or it's time to go to a custom rom

fastboot flash a recovery, and you could load a custom rom. twrp recovery has an option to push files to your phone with adb. you can push a rom to your phone then flash it in your recovery. or you can flash the stock image via fastboot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183555

Today I tried fastboot and flash 4.3 stock rom on my nexus 4, root and stock rom.
For some reason the zip on "sdcard" is failing (error 7 code strange as it was full stock) letting me a stuck google boot.
I tried to wipe cache without success.
I am sure the solution is somewhere here as already said in that topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183555
But what line should I follow first? Ideally I would like to flash 4.3 or 4.2.2 without factory reset.
Any advice?
Is your boot loader unlocked?? If yes you won't loose any data if you follow the above procedure.. But if not, I think the chances of saving data are low. You can install 4.3 directly if you have the files. I updated mine yesterday using the same method.. I was on slimbeam..

If you are unlocked, try this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312
Download 4.3 factory image from here https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/takju-jwr66v-factory-c2ef855e.tgz.
Hopefully this should help.

I have been reading and applying more carrefully http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312 without D10. It is well writen and it is looking to be a safe and efficient to me. I even started by installing 4.2.2 again, then backup then 4.3 with the same method.
4.3 up running and rooted!
No data loss, some stuff learnt and a new backup!
If a new OTA is popping up I will look for the same method.

This guide should still work, only thing is that I would use TWRP recovery instead of CWM recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018179
