Had a weird problem this morning, I'll give you a quick rundown 1st.
nexus 7 32 gb unit, rooted on 4.1.2, got the ota update to 4.2 kept root
no problem. Got the ota for 4.2.1 again kept root with no problem.
Been running a few days with no problems.
This morning when I woke it got the message google process gapps force close.
rebooted it and the same thing. had an update from the play store but couldn't get in
would just flicker for a sec. every time I hit the play store button.
Had a backup of 4.2 I made just before the update, tried to get into recovery and just
got the android on his back with the red triangle. re-flashed recovery (twrp) flashed my
4.2 backup now everything is fine. Sorry about the long post, just trying to find out why I
lost my gapps and recovery for no reason, didn't change anything or upgrade anything.
Just running stock rooted.
I have the system update for 4.2.1 but I'm not sure if I should update it.
Again, sorry for the long post, just looking for some feedback.
Thanks
Hey guys,
I'm on stock but with root. My phone doesn't reboot after the OTA update. Is this because I'm rooted?
Just to clarify - it's the system update app that doesn't work. It counts down to 0, then... nothing. Phone is usable, the updater doesn't reboot to update.
Same happened to mine (not rooted) I had to flash back to 4.2.1 and wipe data/cache to get my phone to start up. Then it ran the system update again and got stuck in the same loop. I'm sticking with 4.2.1 for now.

Just flash the whole 4.2.2 rom from here https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/occam-jdq39-factory-345dc199.tgz and reroot.

I did that, and go the same loop as when I did the OTA; I had to go find an archive of the 4.2.1 ROM and flash that to get it to start up (even flashing many times and wiping user/cache).
I'm going to try sideloading the 4.2.2 update when I have time
Thanks, I'll try that zip. Just to clarify - my phone isn't even installing the update. It's not stuck on the black Reboot screen, it's stuck on the countdown screen where you tap REBOOT & INSTALL. So essentially the phone is usable.. the updater just doesn't seem to work

That's not where mine is stuck, mine won't boot past the X logo
My Nexus 7 won't go past the "rebooting now" too. The tablet is usable but it never finishes the update. I have power cycled and started over but no luck. Is there a way to clear the update cache so it re-downloads the update?

Hiya! Did you ever find an answer?
I'm on 4.2.2 stock system for sph-l720, rooted, used triangle away and tried to get update 4.3 to install.
***Do I need to unroot to get samsung/sprint updates? The update keeps appearing but all progress from "android system update" stops after download verified, then the "rebooting now" step goes forever. Like OP, phone works fine, just wanted to update so I get best of newer apps, then back to customizing :fingers-crossed:
Hi,
I have an unrooted, stock Nexus 4. I received the 4.3 update and installed it... but now I keep getting "System update downloaded".
I've tried letting it install a couple of times now but it keeps happening.
I am actually running 4.3. Build number is JWR66V.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Hey all,
I installed the 4.3 ota update back when it was first released in August, and it was rooted, lost root and rerooted. Nothing else I have changed.
Today is the 3rd time since updating back then has my phone recieved the ota prompt. First time I just went through and it restarted. 2nd time it gave a boot error and this time it just restarted the os. Like I said it doesnt come often but I just wanted to know if anyone has had this issue and Im going to assume I need to wipe the phone and a stock image?
I successfully rooted my phone and was about to delete the annoying OTA Update notification but my palm accidentally hit the install when it popped up again... and the my phone just immediately rebooted and it's in recovery mode trying to install the update. I removed the battery right away but every time I put it back in, it shows that Android mascot trying to install and update... I DO NOT WANT KITKAT!! How can I get out of that when booting up or am I doomed in having that install all the way through and I have to use ODIN to flash Jellybean??

I just had the exact same thing happen. Wasn't paying attention when the update popped up. I immediately pulled my battery as well and everytime I try to boot the phone back up it tries to install the Kitkat update. I don't want to upgrade to KK either, I'm perfectly happy on Eclipse. Anyone have any suggestions as what we can do to fix this problem?
