Downloaded the update it does it thing for a while during the install but it seems to have failed, phone reboots into Kit-Kat. My phone is rooted with towel root but I've never put any custom roms on it, just gravity box for some tweaks. It seem that the install is booting into ClockworkMod after the phone reboots. Decided to ask the experts before I brick my device, on what to do? Does anyone have any suggestions?
Anyone ???

You need to be 100% stock recovery, system, kernel, and radio and unrooted for the ota to work. If you're not you'll have to do what you need to to return to 100%

My question is simple. Can we recieve OTA update after unlocked bootloader and rooted Nexus 7 device ??
As long as you don't install a custom recovery, then yes. You'll lose root though unless you use OTA RootKeeper.

lol how do you not know if you put a custom recovery on your device? if you rooted it, you would have the option to put custom recovery, especially now on all these one-click-toolkits
IS the one-click toolkit adding a custom recovery to your device?
If so then mine has and no 4.1.2 for me, GREAT
You can do the OTA Update if you use an app called OTA Root Keeper (or something like that) to keep root when you update.

Hi' iwa s expecting to have custom recovery after using wugs toolkit.but upon entering recovery i only have option to flash from adb and not flash from sd card.am i missing something here? And of course i check install custom rom while rooting.

SO my N7 is rooted through Wugs tool, it has been great so far!
Now though, when I try to install the system update, my little android bot dies with an exclamation mark above him and I have to hard reboot.
Any ideas?
Probably because you now have a custom recovery instead of stock.

So what would be the best route to fix this, I am overly tired of getting prompted to install my system update.
Thanks
Freeze the update apk.

I think he's asking for a way to update it with the custom recovery installed...I could be wrong though.

My goal would be to update my N7, if for no other reason, than to stop getting pop ups every 10mins asking to install the update.
I am running WugFresh's toolkit 1.5.2, My tablet is running Jellybean 4.1.1 RO03C
An OTA update will not install or will not install correctly on a device that has been modified from stock.
But if your device has a custom recovery installed (flashed via Wugs) you can install a custom 4.2 ROM and you will have everything you would get from the OTA. The 4.2 stock rooted rom from scrosler is a good ROM to start with. Or use wugs to return to stock and take the OTA. Then from there you can root/ flash whatever you want to do.

thanks for this thread,
im in exactly the same position except havent clicked accept update yet and glad i havent lol
asked many times but always get mixed answer's about updating my rooted nexy with twrp recovery, i did use goo manager to update to the latest twrp recovery
so im not sure if i need to un-root to update as the new twrp is supposed to work with 4.2?

Thanks for the response, that makes sense, and gave me the info I needed!
I'm new to rooting and i just rooted my device yesterday. i running with the stock ROM 4.2.1 and I'm wondering if when Google pushes out the next update will i be able to update. and if i do can update will I brick my device, lose root, or will nothing happen.
If you have the stock recovery it will update like normal and kill root.
If you have a custom recovery it will download but not install, doing nothing.

It will unroot ur phone if u update and u will have to root it again.
Hey people it seems as though I lost root or at least "don't have proper root access" after flashing CMB rc3 ROM. I somehow updated SU binary but still am having issues gaining full root. If anybody has any information on how to help me it will be greatly appreciated.. I am also willing to go back to stock ROM and see if that works somehow but I forgot to backup stock ROM(I know I'm a moron) lol. I had the 4.2.2 OTA D80110g version prior to flashing to CMB.. Would greatly appreciate any help.

Hey thanks for your assistance but I wound up just downloading the rooted stock OTA ROM and re-flashing it and I'm fully rooted again. But do you by any chance know how to fix the issue of losing root after upgrading to 4.4? Does what you told me to do fix that completely and keeps me fully rooted on 4.4? Sorry I'm pretty new to this stuff.

if you flash to 4.4 aosp rom, you have to go into developer settings and set root as apps and adb. this will give you root access.
Assuming that you know what you have done, this is the very first case, not only in this G2 subforum but entire XDA site, that I've heard installing custom ROM and lost root.
The first reply hit the nail on the head, some ROM don't have root for example Omni ROM in originaaal android development....you flash supersu zip after ROM and gapps....looks like you have everything going good, good luck man!

Hey man if you want 4.4 is simple just download the supersu.zip and when your in recovery do the correct wipe then flash ROM and gapps then supersu zip then reboot!
Most Roms have root already like Paranoid android, Mahdi, aokp......Roms like the one you used and omni you need to flash the supersu zip afterward that's it
Yeah check developer settings for root or flash super su zip, also slimkat and others have working root.

hey guys,
I have a rom flashed on my s4 i9505 (called virgin rom, something like that). I'm using my s4 now because I lost my note 4 on a night out. Thing is, I know that I have no root access, I've checked very thoroughly but I have a rom flashed from when I used to use it. I want to root my s4 now, but to be safe, I just wanted to check: CAN I ROOT MY S4 USING WHATEVER METHOD WITH A CUSTOM ROM ALREDY FLASHED? Do I have to do anything before I go ahead and root my phone, like flash a stock rom or something like that?
Many thanks.
Some ROMs, like cm13.1, can enable root access under developer settings.
If it's not there and you're sure the ROM is not rooted, you could flash supersu from a custom recovery.
Do you have a link to the ROM?

Virgin rom for GTi-9505 is moded GPE rom and SuperSu should come with that rom. You might did un-root in the past. Check with app like root-checker for the root access.
To root, you do not have to go back to stock unless you do not like your GPE rom.
Yep this ROM does have SuperSU but when I go into it, it says that i'm "not rooted properly."

I don't have root access at all, I've confirmed it by checking in every possible way. I really want to root my s4 safely but would it be OK if I rooted my phone using whatever method when my phone has a custom ROM flashed? Can I just root it right now without any worries?
Many thanks.

If the phone were mine, I would re-flashing the ROM to see if that restores root access. If that doesn't work and I still want the same ROM, I would flash supersu from recovery to root it.
I understand your worry over bricking the phone. Unfortunately, flashing will carry a risk of bricking the phone.

I see, so if I was to root my phone now should I first flash a stock rom or something like that?

Before I flashed the SuperSU.zip, SuperSU app was on the phone and it was saying the phone was not rooted properly, but now it's gone after flashing SuperSU.zip. I've tried everything at this stage. Do you think it would be safe to just root the phone now in its current state?:
1. Custom ROM is flashed
2. Clockworkmod as recovery
3. According to terminal emulator, titanium backup and root checker, i HAVE NO PROPER ROOT ACCESS.
Many thanks.

I would not use CWM, I would switch to TWRP and then flash supersu. You may not even have to flash supersu as TWRP may be able to root the phone.
