Hi all. I am trying to sideload KK but getting" E:error in /tmp/update.zip; Status 7; installation aborted system/app/books.apk has unexpected contents" error message.
I thought the download might be corrupted, so I downloaded a second time and get the same result.
Can anyone help? This is really frustrating and disapponting.
Thanks!
Make sure you have the latest custom recovery. I recommend using cwm recovery. Some more info about the device may help. Are you using custom or stock ROM? where did u get the side load from?

I've tried with stock kernel, but without success...
It gives me an error on the signature; when I try to install without signing verification, it gives me this error:
Failed: apply patch_check ("system/app/chrome.apk" - and two groups of 41 aphanumeric characters-).
Could be due to the fact I've installed all system software updates in the past (gapps and others) into rom using Titanium Backup?
--- update---
After a full backup using CWM, I've flashed stock "system" using Nexus Root Toolkit. Reboot in recovery and applied the JZ054K patch.
New error now... apply patch_check (EMMC: /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/LNX: and a lot of digits...
I give up!

Go all the way at the bottom of my post. There are two flashable zips. One is for the original the other is for the new kernel.
Just an FYI , you can't flash a boot.IMG like a zip file using cwm or any custom recovery. I use adb for this. You can search for the info on here. There are many posts on it. Hope I helped.

Got odex error
I had my nexus unlocked and rooted using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1741395 so I should have original kernel.
I got an error when trying to update related to BrowserProviderProxy.apk that I had renamed to have android browser working.
Now I can't seem to get it to update again from system updates.
Can I retry using the previously downloaded file? Where does the downloaded file gets stored? I got CWM and can download the image again to install, but I was wondering where does it get stored. Thanks!

Nevermind found it in cache folder. I reapplied after renaming the browserprovider and I got 4.1.2 working fine!
I have twrp recovery and tried to install the update but the update failed with a Status 7 fail message. What should I do?
I used stock recovery and sideloaded the zip with adb
Then back to cwm recovery.

There is a flashable ota at the link below. You may need to flash superuser 1.51 after to get root back.

OK I tried that but I got a Status 7 error message and it aborted install. I have everything stock that I can think of. No custom kernel. No nothing. Any suggestions other than flashing back to stock completely via Wug's toolkit then doing the OTA through the tablet itself and then restoring everything with Titanium Backup?

If you check that thread I linked to above, there a few people with the status 7 error and a few different fixes, worth a try before wiping anything, hope it helps.

You don't need to flash the stock image and lose your data, but even if you are on stock 4.3 you still need two things: stock recovery (if you don't already have it installed) AND you need to unroot! Being rooted will throw the Status 7 error.
Here's what I did:
First flash the stock recovery for JWR66V in fastboot.
Then use the "Full unroot" option inside SuperSU.
Apply the JWR66Y update using ADB sideload.
Then reinstall TWRP and install UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip using TWRP.
After rebooting you may be surprised to see that the SuperSU app needs to be installed again (seems to be a quirk a lot of us are having). Just head over to Google play and after that all should be good.

Hi, I'm looking forward to doing this step since I really want to get that OTA installed in my device. Mine is on stock ROM, rooted via wugfresh toolkit. My concern is, after doing this step, will I lose all data? Also could you please explain how to do the first step- "First flash the stock recovery for JWR66V in fastboot."? I'm still a bit new to all these things, so please bare with me.
Thanks!

Check out this thread. I flashed the Grouper.zip file, which is the OTA modified by commenting out the validation check that results in the Status 7 error. I copied it to /sdcard along with the Supersu 1.51 zip. The ota flashed perfectly using TWRP recovery. After booting and going back into TWRP, I flashed the supersu1.51 and regained root. You do not need to unroot or flash stock recovery to get this update. No data loss. I'm stock rom & kernel, rooted with TWRP recovery.

You won't lose data if you repeat the steps I took. However since you are asking how to flash a recovery in fastboot I would seriously be careful and do a bit of homework on how fastboot works. All the instructions you'll ever need can be found by searching xda. It really isn't as daunting as it sounds but you definitely need to understand how it works before trying it.
Or you could try the link that Groid posted if you aren't concerned about skipping the validation check. The process is definitely is simpler if you're "new to all these things".
I'm not opposed to using WugFresh's toolkit, he's a brilliant developer, but it's never a bad idea to learn about what happens in the background and see it with your own eyes.

I am stock rooted with 4.3.1 JLS36i with latest twrp recovery and ElementalX 1.8 kernel. I have tried OTA, which reboots into twrp where the install fails, adb sideload via twrp's advanced sideload, and install from device directly using zip file on device and twrp. All fail repeatedly with "fail" in a red font. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Try to restore stock kernel before update.

Not really. I use the nexus root kit by wugfesh, it downloads the stock kernel and you can restore it with the toolkit

Good suggestion. Downloading new Wugtresh version now. I have used it but didn't think it would install stock kernel. Which kernel do you use for KitKat?

Well. I installed the stock kernel, but it failed again. I used Tim's sideload method. The twrp error is: "E: error executing updater binary in zip '/data/media..." Twrp cut off the rest of the error message

your going to have to flash CWM, also what rom are you on? it sounds like your aboot image is not right
4.4 Roms can not be flashed using 2.6.3.2 you need to find a version of 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4 for your device.

If u succes to install stock Rom.. Then u re root and install unofficial cwm, Can be found in ur devices forum.
Then download/transfer The cm rom u wanted, and GAapps IF needed... Just remember to read install instructions and follow them. And do a backup before installing cm rom

2.6.3.3 and .4 typically come in a flashable zip. You flash it in twrp like you would a ROM and it updates it.
If you do not have a ROM downloaded you can use to get back to a ROM to download side zip file, then you should check the thread on here (that you should have originally used to get your recovery image to flash on your phone.)
And follow the directions on there how to push it using adb. Once that's done you should be able to flash normally.
