No it doesn't reduce the life. (Well I guess it does because flash memory has a finite amount of writes before it dies, but I wouldn't worry too much about that). This will simply return the device to the way it was when you first got it.

4.2. Is a flop as far as I'm concerned..
Download factory image here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Then use this guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796
Be mindful to make sure filenames are correct .(this is an older guide.)
If you want to save your data, back it up onto computer(this erases everything)

Or you can use Nexus 7 toolkit to download and flash back to stock with one step
tbh, grab WUG's nexus toolkit.
click the great "revert to stock" button
select stock nakasi 4.1.2
blah blah blah
once back and running, relock bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
back running stock 4.1.2

I'm curious if you are stock and didn't lose tablet mode or anything like that what you find so horrible about about 4.2?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I have to agree this update should not have been released, I'm stock on the nexus 7 and its so buggy! It keeps stuttering, taken ages to load webpages , all that project butter has gone, not happy, funny enough it's perfect on my galaxy nexus which is running 4.2 stock rooted, BTW I got the update ota
---------- Post added at 05:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:24 PM ----------
To add to this, I've just tried to set up a second user and the setup crashed once , gave me a blank screen for 10 seconds every time I pressed next, then the launcher crashed twice , gave me a blank screen for over a minute, stuttering when swiping side to side, even now as I type this its not registering a click then I click again and I get two letters ..... And pinch zoom is jerky! Wtf happened?!?! Hope there's a fix on the way, this is the one device I'm reluctant to root and install custom ROM simply because 4.1 was perfect
Guys just download nexus 7 toolkit and flash 4.1 image... Sorry, but even me (girl) was able to do this succesfully.
Lmfao ok ok you guys win haha but i am stock and it was official update. Im good on pcs but this is my first tablet, android is new to me anyway im on pain pills for broken leg from a motorcycle accident so my head is definitely not all there lately but ya lets hear the jokes about that now. And no that pervert in my pic is not me, although it fits my brain power lately lol

Thanks for your reasoned response. I'm sure people will try to help you if you keep the tone more conciliatory. Could you be more specific about what has ruined your experience with the update? I honestly don't see that much different, other than having to wait a few days for devs to update borked apps. Stickmount is my biggest concern, and some of the video players. They'll get updated though. Hang in there and if you decide to go back, the Nexus Root Kit threads and WUGS toolkit thread at Android Forums can get you there if you carefully read the detailed instructions.

The dev for stickymount says it may not be solvable, Multi-user by default is a nightmare.
I will learn from this not to jump the gun, but mostly I read that the update was good. Youtube app crashes within a min, firefox, boat browser crash, amazon app store wont save my login now, there's more but cant think of at the moment. Oh Gmail app crashes, Google currents crashes and I haven't tried half of my other apps yet but I've seen enough to know this is complete crap. Im just mad that i have to illegally root and use someone's homemade software to restore my tablet, not sure it is illegal to root, nor would I care but it's the point.

Yeah i noticed after updating that some of my apps that reinstalled after the update would crash when i tried opening them for the 1st time. i unistalled then reinstalled them and they worked fine after that. i too am not really liking the update hopefully i can find a way to revert back to 4.1.2 easily or theres some work arounds (especially for stick mount as mentioned earlier)
All this talk about apps not working is not on the new OS....well it kinda is but not really.
android releases the OS and DEVS have to update their apps to work with the new OS. they do this with the android SDK (i think) IMO, google SHOULD release the SDK for the new OS about a month out. giving Devs the option to update their apps before the OS hits getting rid of all "these" types of posts.
also, FWIW, i did a clean install of 4.2 and i haven't had a singe app crash on me except MX player (which was updated yesterday for 4.2) other than that, everything is smooth, fast, working wonderfully. i know its not what you want to hear, but maybe a clean wipe of the device would be best. Google wont put out a crappy update....but sometimes, for some reasons unknown, it doesn't take well to and update with all the user apps and their data. at the very lease, clear cache and see how it works.

Completely agree. They new update 4.2 corrected a lot of bugs. The power management is a lot better and the memory management too. Ive run some test and saw that the system load is quite inferior to what it was before due to a more clean management process

Look how easy this was when a decent person helps, thanks for the help! All rooted and flashed back! Thanks to all who actually helped!
First I wanna ask anyone who says the 4.2 update is terrible if they even tried a full data wipe/factory reset? If not, try that before accusing Google of releasing buggy firmware. It could be your stinkin data/apps fault

Most to all the people were decent. Plenty of people pointed you in the right direction, or linked to a guide. You gotta do a little researching and educate yourself a little so you understand the whole process.

Nope, it's not illegal to root.. it will supposedly be illegal to unlock a phone (for another network) without the network's consent though.
Just think..there's no reason at all running custom firmware/roms/rooting can be illegal on a nexus device, why do you think the bootloader is effortlessly unlockable?
And if you think about it, no, it's not really crazy that is a "hassle" to revert to old firmware, because
A) most devices (Apple comes to mind) you can't do this, unless certain conditions apply (if you backed up SHSH blobs, etc etc)
B) if you understood the process of flashing the stock rom, and if you had ADB/fastboot setup correctly, it's simple as pie to flash the old firmware. And the "homemade software" is just an interface for n00bs (like yourself) and would not exist if it didn't use adb and fastboot behind the hood. And if you think it was hard to do what you did, you should try to do it on a device with a locked bootloader: (droid x2 comes to mind) it's a nightmare
So basically, Google has this wonderful OS and provides devs and users alike these wonderful tools (and Nexus hardware to match) at our disposable.
Idk about you, but I say kudos Google!

Finally managed
I have now manged to upgrade. I am on Vodafone I had some problems and failed to update OTA. After several attempts I managed through KIES, which is now working. It seems to be quite smooth, as far as I can tell it does not have multi-view (I hoped it would).
I am quite happy so far.

Decided to take the plunge with this stock ROM. Been running for 25hrs now, Flashed with battery at 100% and as i type this battery is at 70%. Usage has been 60mins Bluetooth audio, installing all my 43 apps from play store, dozen texts, 10mins of calls, 10mins of internet and email. I expect in 28hrs time it will be given its first charge since flashing.
No lag, no heat, brill battery time, and fast n smooth.
Also , something to note for other users, I'm not on Vodafone, in fact I'm on three(uk), this ROM chose the correct csc for me, i had expected to input my carrier settings myself, this was not the case.

Yeah don't think that's gonna happen, unless Samsung miraculously decides to offer us it sometime (i.e. never). Why would you not root your phone though? I mean you could always triangle away and revert to stock if you're claiming warranty or something. If you need those extra goodies, rooting is a must.

I don't root mostly because I can't afford the possibility that the device could be bricked due to my not understanding or doing the wrong thing even though I am quite computer literate having worked on computers professionally and as a hobby since the mid 70's and have built and sold computer systems over the years.

5.0.1 OTA is here

Downloading now on sprint.
Update. Unfortunately the update did not resolve the duplicate SMS issue. On LTE, people are still receiving multiple copies of the same message.
Att nexus as well. No carrier interference. Yay.
AT&T just got the update as well

Also got the notification on GPS Nexus 6.
Can anyone provide steps on how to update and disable encryption?
Can confirm on T-Moble as well. Although I didn't grab a screen, it just hit mine.
Sweet. I was reading that the OTA will roll out on the 15th. But today works better LOL.
Is anyone noticing any add-ons? My recipients are no longer getting duplicate messages.
Also got it just fine on o2 in the UK

So glad I came back to a nexus device! Wooo. Had enough of carrier interference and manufacturers taking their jolly ol' time. Oh not to mention, Locked bootloaders. Can not wait to get home from work and flash this. Hopefully some improvements to be had with the update.
I am still not sure how people are cranking 6+ hrs SOT. The best I have been able to do is just a bit more than 4 hrs.

Your device won't take the OTA if you have root. You can't even sideload it. You have to flash the factory image if you want to update.

For some reason I thought I read somewhere on the forums yesterday that after a fresh Windows 10 install someone was having trouble with MTP or Send_Command. I've got root running on my US991 now! I seriously blew my entire night downloading root apps, tweaking things, etc. once I got it rooted. I also read over soooo much of this forum that I can't remember what I read where, haha. Good luck!

Windows 10 can be tricky. I've had issues in the past issuing any commands to DL mode with Windows 10. This dates back to using my G2. I got it to work this last time trying, but you might have to use another OS if you can't get it to work.

For some reason I thought I read somewhere on the forums yesterday that after a fresh Windows 10 install someone was having trouble with MTP or Send_Command. I've got root running on my US991 now! I seriously blew my entire night downloading root apps, tweaking things, etc. once I got it rooted. I also read over soooo much of this forum that I can't remember what I read where, haha. Good luck!

The commands are in a spoiler box on the second post of the root thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62028523&postcount=2
I'm rooted on the US Cellular US991 10c. After a few hours of installing apps, killing bloatware, tweaking the ui, and setting my dpi to 540 I'm also enjoying better battery life and, for some reason, I'm not heating up nearly as much as before I root. Loving it.
Got a chance to get it done. Easy peasy. WOOHOO. Thanks again to all.

Edit to add:
I really liked doing it this way more than the others I have done. So nice not having to re setup the entire phone after.

If you're referring to MM Update 20C, then not yet. And I am subscribed here for a reason. I have the same reason, and damned if I will settle with "Sorry no root for you". I have been exploring other options with someone else.

What is the last version that still can get root?
I'm on MM 20a.
I believe it's 10D that can still get root.
