I updated to android 4.4 Kitkat from Google factory images today on my 2012 Nexus 7 wifi 32gb and if you take a look at this video I just recorded (sorry about the quality), at second 14 approximately, you will see that when booting up, after the Google logo and before the new moving Dots boot animation, there is a weird effect on the screen that last a fraction of a second.
Is this happening to everyone on their nexus 7 wifi 2012 after updating to kitkat or is it just me??
Please tell me if yours has the same weird effect as mine or not.
Thanks in advance for the help!
Here's the video.

That's some sort of a bootloop? I see your unlocked, are you rooted?
I had issues with it stuck on the 4 circles boot, ended up fastboot flashing both the boot and system image and now up and running fine.

No, actually it's not on a bootloop, the nexus 7 is up and running fine, the problem I'm trying to show is the graphical glitch that you can see on the video at second 14 when the tablet is booting up between the Google logo and the new color dots animation.
I need to know if someone is experiencing the same problem as me after updating to kitkat and turning it on.

Same Thing
Yeah, it happens to me too.
I only noticed it after a few restarts, but I think it happens every time I reboot.
Yep, same thing here. On my end it looks like light-colored text output on a black background. It flashes by in a split second. Otherwise it boots and runs just fine.

Thank you guys for checking this out for me and letting me know!!
I was afraid that I was the only one with this problem
Do you think Google is actually aware of this problem??

I just side loaded the update to my n7. When I rebooted it glitches like that. It looked like 4 boot loader screens, then it went to the boot animation.
Could be harmless.

I managed to grab a screenshot from my own video. Turns out it's the "Backup Complete" screen from the system backup I did yesterday though TWRP. Why on earth would that flash by on every subsequent reboot? Very weird.

That's odd, but I don't even have TWRP recovery on my Nexus 7, mine is completely stock.
I need to know if someone who is running completely stock kitkat is having the same issue I have please.
Thanks in advance!

I actually recall seeing this oddity after applying the 4.4 update on stock recovery, unrooted. I used fastboot commands to flash boot.img and system.img from the Google factory image file. It appeared when I restarted. I didn't give it much thought at the time but did see that it kept happening on each reboot after that. I'm thinking what I saw might have been stock recovery. That's exactly what I am seeing in your screenshot, even the Android lying on his back.

Yeah your right! That's the android bot lying on his back from recovery!!
I haven't noticed it!
So what the heck is wrong here??
Maybe I will try to flash back stock 4.3 image and see if this still happens, and if not, we'll know that is a little bug because of kitkat... Right?
Thanks for all your help!

I would say KitKat for sure. Nothing like this ever happened on prior updates. Please do report back if you still see it after flashing back to 4.3. I'm assuming after that you'll be flashing 4.4 again.

Ok, no problem. I'll let you all know how it went.
I'll flash 4.3 back to check if the problem is still there, and then I'll wait for the OTA and see what happens, cause maybe the OTA doesn't have this problem... But I doubt it... AND if the OTA takes to LONG to arrive I will be manually flashing kitkat again and see if the problem comes back...
I'll let your know!

Well I did it and I realized that with 4.2 to 4.3 with the "X" animation this graphic glitch doesn't appear but than even after an OTA update from 4.3 to 4.4.2 this issue came back. Is this normal or does anyone have a solution for this?

*BUMP*
Has anyone any further info on this issue? Granted its not a major one, but just an annoying niggle with what has been a decent update to 4.4.2. This problem along with the ones below are the remaining bugs I have on my stock rooted N7.
Laggy lockscreen when woken up and rotated - Part of the screen get stuck in portrait/landscape while the other has rotated.
When in an app and pressing back to exit out of it, sometimes it bounces back to another app.
Small pixelised graphics glitch at the top of the screen when switching users.

My N10 has Twrp recovery installed and stock 4.3 but earlier on it received a 'minor' 4.3 OTA update. It Rebooted and just went to Twrp and just sat there.
Can someone please tell me how to install this update?
Where is the downloaded firmware update stored and can I install it using Twrp once I've found it?

Thanks but that's not the problem I'm having. When I ask it to don't he update, it simply reboots to turn, obviously it's expecting to find the stock recovery but it doesn't. I was just wondering if the updated stock room was available so I could just flash it again.
I don't think is anything other than a minor update anyway so I guess I could just ignore it and wait for the next biggie!

I have a friend who has an N4 8GB, after the update to 4.3 from 4.2.2, the in-call sound dissapeared.
After tinkering with it, while unrooted, we found out that the phone is thinking the earphones are alway connected, even though they are not.
We downloaded an app that disables the earphone jack and it worked, but what a crappy workaround.
So, is there a fix for this? It was working on 4.2.2... I want to fix this while still being unrooted and stock.
I can give details if required.
more:
-baseband and bootloader got updated automatically to the latest.
-build number is JWR66Y, i saw people factory resetting their phone but it didn't solve that issue, so I'm guessing downgrading to JWR66V?

RMA it if it doesn't work after flashing the factory images because I don't know what else you could do. Flash everything together all over again too. Flash the bootloader then restart boot loader. Flash radio then restart Bootloader and then finally flash the system

Hi. I recently deleted and formatted everything even lost all my recoveries and back ups and am trying to put nexus 4 stock rom back on to my device. What do I do? I still have clockworkrecovery mod but that's it and a computer to work with.
Download the factory images of your choice and flash them. It is the 15th time today that I am telling this to some one.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I've just done this and used Nexus Root Toolkit, absolute god send. Just plug your phone in, as long as you can get to fastboot, then flash stock + unroot and in a short amount of time you should be back to good.

ok that's what I was doing but I was going to try to install zip from sideload cause I don't even know how to get to my sd card and the android 4.3 stock rom I was downloading earlier was taking hours and my computer got shut off so that never completed.
Flash rom with adb. You will be fine

My LG G2 screen freezes and has black screen but the phone functions coz i can hear touch sounds. It happened after flashing Stock JB using FlashTool.
This happened to me when I downgraded from kitkat to JB rooted and installed a custom recovery and custom rom

Seems like mine's a hardware problem, coz I can use my phone via On Screen Phone, I can operate my phone through my PC perfectly but in my phone's screen, it's frozen. How bout yours?
I manually upgrades my phone to 6.0.1 and since I can't use camera. Tried clearing cache and rebooting. Nothing.
Tried other camera apps and those also are not working. Just black screen.
Any suggestions?
