Nexus 7 4.1.2 Update error status 7

Hello, I've been trying to install the 4.1.2 Update error to my rooted 4.1.1 nexus 7, with custom kernel, stock rom but I keep getting the error status 7. I tried to install it with twrp, cwr but it says the same thing.... Even doing the adb sideload with no luck... It doesn't install
I don't want to lose my data by flashing the 4.1.2 rom image from Google... My build number is JRO03D.....any help?

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!

Trouble updating to 4.2.2(Status 7)

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.

Does anyone know where I can get a flashable OTA file that will keep root for the Wifi OG Nexus 7? I have seen it posted for the Nexus 4 and new Nexus 7, but cannot find it anywhere for Grouper.

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.

Two Recoveries on Cyanogenmod 10, TWRP and CWM how do i get rid of one?

I recently installed CyanogenMod10 on my phone, and it came with CWM installed. I wanted to replace it with TWRP so I installed goomanager to do an openrecoveryscript. However when it came to rebooting it just launched CWM in recovery instead of TWRP. I installed CWM Rom manager and found that both CWM and TWRP are installed. How do i get rid of one?
I found a similar forum thread however it was with a GS3. I was thinking about using the Nexus4 toolkit but I don't think that is compatible with Cyanogenmod as it is bases its mods on stock builds.
Thanks

You can try flashing twrp with a tool kit

noob question, how do I flash a .img file through CWM? It seems that you can only install Zip files.
I also tried the Mskip toolkit and it said that it cannot open the recovery.img on my phone.

It really shouldn't have taken me this long to find it, easier on my computer.

Of course download the twrp.zip. It says that trwp doesn't work with Kit Kat custom roms, but I have no problems. YMMV.

For future reference, one of the easiest ways to flash .img files is with the app Flashify.

I have a feeling I'm missing sometihng....

So, I've downloaded and installed CM11 nightly (20140112, clean wipe) on both mine and my wife's N4, and super user isn't working right. I mean it says that Romtoolbox Pro has permissions...but it won't let it do anything. I can't remount using adb. I can't Mount rw using adb...
Does SU/root even work with 4.4?

Try installing supersu from market, it worked for me (after flashing supersu by recovery)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu

So this is a common issue?

Phil'z is cwm and cwm always have issues with root does not stick. However, try to use latest cwm 6.0.4.5 instead of phil'z (cause it might be outdated) or better yet, use latest twrp 2.3.6.6. Link to twrp is in my sign.

There's no reason to install SuperSU from the Play Store if you flash the zip file via the recovery. It installs the apk and Binaries at the same time. Play store only the app.

CM's built in superuser should be working fine!

Yeah go into settings of supersu. There's an option with cm superuser. You have to tick that (as I remembered someone posted before).

I'll double check...I'll try another Recover (I was at the latest available for the N4)...

I just don't get it...it doesn't work. Tried unchecking the box in the stock SU menu...running latest twrp...flashed that zip, installed it from the store (tried one, then the other, then both)....I can't be the only one having this issue...

Soooo....the zip posted by Berrydroidcafe worked...you have to uncheck "respect Cyanogenmod Super user"...or something to that extent...it's in the settings....Thanks a lot bud.
