For the life of me I cant get 4.4.2 to install/boot on my nexus 7 2012 wifi
Wondering if there is a stock rooted zip out there so i can just flash it and be done with it.
Ive:
wiped
locked/unlocked bootloader
flashed the stock image (installs/boots but doesnt start) 'com.google.settings' fails at start.
flashed 4.4 image and tried to update via OTA (fails)
flash 4.4 and tried to sideload the update in stock recovery (failed, unexpected contents in system/google email)
flash 4.4 and tried to install update viz TWRP...failed
running out of ideas. My last hope is a 4,4,2 stock rooted rom i can just flash via twrp. but there doent seem to be one.
found one for my n10/n5, but not my n7 (2012 wifi)
any leads?

Help! I have just installed the Android 4.3 update on my Nexus 7 which is rooted with a vanilla kernel with TWRP installed. It rebooted after the update and it booted straight into TWRP so I rebooted again and then it booted into Android as normal but the OS is still on 4.2.2 and not 4.3. I have tried going into About This Tablet then pressing Update and its saying its not on the latest version... Help!
The update will fail if you're not running the stock kernel. Flash it back, or just flash a complete factory image.
Hello -
I have the original Nexus 7 and was wanting to update to the new JWR66Y release. I am on a stock rooted rom at the moment. Can I just flash a rooted version of this update? And where can I find a recommended rom?
I tried to flash that grouper.zip via TWRP but it fails when I try and flash it. Am I suppoded to try and OTA update, then flash the grouper.zip?
Thanks in advance for you help!!
What was the error? I had to replace the 'debuggerd' file and then flash the grouper.zip in twrp recovery. Then flashed the supersu 1.51 zip to get root back.

I'm having difficulties updating from 4.3 to 4.4.
So, bear with me as I am a noob at this stuff, but when I got my Nexus, I rooted and flashed LTE onto the phone. I did not install TWRP, I just did a temporary custom recovery. Now, when I receive the OTA update, it stops around 25% of the way through, with an Error! and the red yield sign and the Android laying on its side.
I reset my phone, however, that didn't do anything. I think I have to undo the LTE before 4.4 can install. Maybe.
Could anyone offer suggestions/help me with this?
Thanks in advance.
To make the OTA update work you have to be unrooted running stock kernel and stock recovery. Otherwise you will get an error when updating OTA. First backup all your files to a computer.
- Download 4.4 custom ROM and flash it via recovery. Make sure to flash the latest boot loader and kernel.
OR
- Download stock 4.4 image file; unzip and run the flash all file. This will wipe everything in your phone and install stock 4.4.
OR
- Download N4 toolkit and flash 4.4 via that.

I am on 5.0.1 rooted with stock ROM and stock kernel. I recently got 5.1 upgrade notification.
After downloading the data and restarting the phone, it started installing updates and after a while it showed "error" and stopped.
Now I m on 5.0.1 with no 5.1 upgrade notice.
What is wrong and what should I do for this?
Thank you.
Do I need to unroot? I am on stock kernel and ROM.

Yes, you need to unroot before you can apply the OTA upgrade. Look for the Nexus Root Toolkit, and it should be able to clean up for you.
But prior I didn't need to unroot to upgrade anytime! To upgrade JB to KK or KK to LP, I didn't unroot before installation.
you need stock recovery to update via OTA
Yeah I was on pure stock. Stock ROM kernel and recovery.
Btw, I unrooted my phone with simply unroot and then OTA update went well.
So now I am on stock 5.1 unrooted.
Thank u all.
i have troubles as well. i unrooted, installed stock recovery (via n4 toolkit) and tryed to install. it takes longer then before but i stell get an error. SuperSU is gone in my app drawer.. any other help?
PS: i am on stock rom 5.0.1
i tryed to use sideload ADB update. it says: "/system/bin/app_process32" has unexpected contents. Error in sideload/package.zip. Status 7
any tipps?
Just got my N7 wifi back from Asus after their lollipop update bricked it.
It came back installed with 4.3 (nakasi update version JWR66Y).
What is the recommended method to unlock it so I can flash twrp via fastboot and install CM12.1?
