Hi every one!
Have one question: does i get OTA updates from Google when i root my nexus 7?

You're in the wrong forum; this is for last year's Nexus 7. Nothing will stop you from receiving the update, but installing successfully is another matter. If it's like the 2012 n7, having root and custom recovery will not impede an OTA.

^ This, and you will need to reroot your device after a stock FW update too...

I just received my nexus 7 and there's already an update available. I plan on rooting and flashing a custom rom. Should I update or not? I know sometimes an update can cause problems when it comes to rooting and whatnot so I thought I'd ask first.. thanks for any feedback!

Yes update it. I updated to 4.1.1 first then unlocked, then rooted with permanent cwm then flashed touch cwm from rom manager.
Use nexus toolkit though so you can restore stock recovery to flash Amy new updates and root again easily.
Also no harm updating to 4.1.1 and then rooting we have methods set up for that right now.

You can root it before or after update, you're just updating to 4.1.1, or you can install a ROM that is already there, if you're rooting either way, just go for it right away

Thanks a lot for your quick responses! Lovin it so far no issues like I've heard about.

This is a nexus device. Unlike other devices you never need to fear an update may break your ability to root.

You will loose root if you OTA.
during the last 4 weeks, my 2012 nexus 7 (rooted/custom rom,etc...) received some OTA which i have updated.
today another OTA update notification. and I updated as always... i just had to re-root.
but this time... i lost my custom recovery as well.

I just used Wug's Nexus Toolkit to root & flash custom recovery again. No biggie but a hassle.

Took more time than I wanted to spend tinkering it this morning, but it appears to have fixed it
Thank you very much for the tip

i've read that there has been issues with the 4.3 radios losing signal and such and i'm not sure whether i should update just yet. i have the ota sitting waiting to be installed. also, would i lose root or have any problems updating to 4.3? i rooted using mskip's latest toolkit using the 1 click for all option. thanks.
Losing signal...? I have had no such things with T-Mobile and 27/84 & 33/48/84. The hybrid radios are fine with LTE/2g/etc.

I would say absolutely yes, you have a nexus device and the update is very stable, problems are always reported even on 4.2.2 i say always move on to the newest version.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4
Many problems that might arise after the update can be solved with a factory reset

Ok great. So it wouldn't mess up my root then? And if I wanted to flash a radio to enable lte I could still do that right?

so i tried to install the update and when the system rebooted to install it clockwork recovery said that the package is unsigned and is unknown (or something in that sort). asked if i wanted to proceed with the install and i said no. wanted to ask here whats that all about??
I'm new user to android. I had successfully rooted my Nexus 7 2012 v4.3 using Wugs Nexus Toolkit long back. I was wondering if I had to unroot tablet to install official v4.4 Kitkat update when it rolls out later this month?
i hit this border everytime and official update comes lol i think you dont need to unroot but major updates delete root and replace recovery/bootloader depending on update? im not 100% thou
Thanks.

If you made any system changes or tweaks....that won't be good enough. Better off flashing stock.

Better to update on wugzfresh too, im going to stock when the 4.4 rolls out ?
Hey, i just received 4.4.2 update prompt, if someone explains me how, i will upload it for you

i haven't even seen 4.4.1 update notification on my Nexus 7 2013 wifi yet, let alone 4.4.2.
Here is it, i think it downloaded 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 at the same time

I'm too lazy to backup & unroot & back to stock to get 1.7mb of OTA... Should I just ignore this one?
It seems to be trivial enough.. 1.7mb?

I am, At least until I see reports of the N7 shooting flames out of its tail pipes and burning rubber from the new update.
4.4.2 alraedy?
I just got 4.4.2 update download as well, didn't even receive the 4.4.1 notice yet. Won't install for now, will wait for Franco kernel to be updated as well as bionic/dalvik patches.

Haven't even gotten 4.4.1 yet, still on 4.4. What's the speed of this rolling out. I know it's based on serial numbers, but folks already getting 4.4.2 while some of us haven't even gotten 4.4.1.
Has anyone tried OTA Survival Mode yet with recent (1.55 and above if I am correct) SuperSu Pro? I read about succesful updates from 4.3 to 4.4 and 4.4 to 4.4.1 with our device while keeping root, but also about soft-bricked devices. Would make life easier if it works because I have stock recovery and wouldn't need to temporaryly adb load TWRP via Usb every time after OTA to reroot.

I never saw 4.4.1 but 4.4.2 is installing right now. First I was aware that there was a 4.4.2.
I got it OTA. No difference at all. Except the keyboard noise now sounds like a kids toy.
Edit: After using it a bit I think video performance is a lot better, seems more stable. And YouTube now works properly for me.
just got mine it was 58mb
(i didn't receive the 4.4.1 ota update)
