I just Received OTA update 5.0.2 for Nexus 7 3G Nakasig. After updating i couldnt find any settings related to Mobile Data. Its completely gone from the settings. I tried replacing SIMs. I cannot enable 3G anymore. I wanted to flash my android to Stock android but i cannot find Images for it anywhere. I think i got the OTA by mistake (maybe of WIFI nexus 7)
Any Ideas .
I think my device is converted into Nexus 7 Wifi. It is showing the model number ME370T which is Nexus 7 Wifi.
That is weird if you automatically got the WiFi only update for a 3G N7.
The older KitKat stock roms (including lollipop) for N7 3G (nakasig) are available from Google: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasig
Alternatively if you wanna stick with the WiFi lollipop that you have and you're into flashing minor mods, check out my last (5.0.2) post here on possibly restoring the 3G. haven't gotten feedback as to whether it actually works tho (I have WiFi only):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535586&page=22
but you should be comfortable with flashing stuff to try it tho, if not you could make things worse and might be better off flashing KitKat or waiting for the correct lollipop.
Personally i was waiting for Lollipop for months ... Since the first release . So i think i am going to keep it until lollipop for 3G version comes out. Then i flash it to bring back my Modem Features.
Looks like the proper Lollipop images for 3G have been released. Check the Google link above.

I recently purchased a Nexus 7 because I was getting tired of dealing with IOS devices and needed a break from them and also wanted to get a tablet that would allow me to play games and apps on a bigger screen. (I recently got a mobile broadband device so I can play on-the-go). When I got the nexus 7, being unfamiliar with android OS and devices, I thought it would update just like an iPod or iPad. Boy was I wrong. After realizing that the nexus 7 I had was running 4.0.3 and that the google play store wasn't on the device (and wouldn't work after manually putting on the nexus), I frantically rushed to get jellybean 4.3 in hopes that my problems would be solved.
So I began to search on how to update and after looking for a while I was directed to a couple of youtube videos as well as this site. Following the guides available on this site, accompanied with the youtube videos, I was able to begin flashing my device in order to get jellybean 4.3 but one instruction that was not outlined was how to update the bootloader. The bootloader I had was a "GROUPER" 3.32 bootloader and when attempting to flash 4.3 on to my nexus 7, it said that it failed because I needed 4.23 to do it. So now I have a nexus that only boots into that bootloader mode and that's it. I can't access recovery mode or start the nexus 7. It only shows the Google sign and booting failed in the top right corner.
So, my question is how do I upgrade the bootloader to 4.23? I need to know this because a couple threads that I read after panicking stated that all I had to do was flash the stock image to my nexus in order to fix the problem but I cannot do that without a 4.23 bootloader. Can I fix the problem or is there no hope for my device?
Are you REALLY sure about that its a N7? The 1st gen of N7 was released with JB 4.1 and the 2nd gen with JB 4.3 and all of them have Play preinstalled and have the latest version of android downloaded and installed via OTA updates.
Anyway, if you see 100% sure its a N7, here is a fine guide for returning to stock. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796

I just purchased a refurb Nexus 7 (1st gen), and it came exactly the same way as the other guy described. It's running 4.0.3, and this grouper bootloader 3.32. I was expecting a device that was running android 4.1 at the least.
@funkball: Could you link me where did you buy that tablet?
Something must be fishy about it, because there is no ICS rom to the grouper, not even custom roms.
OP has probably solved the problem by now but in case anyone needs it the solution to upgrading the bootloader is below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2150251
I bought a Nexus 7 (refurb) from Expansys-USA and it came with 3.2 bootloader so I had to update via the above link so I could flash the Lollipop factory image.
Simple answer - NO.
When a new software release is made for an OS, all the developers would have done is test it on a very few devices within the developers and then roll it out to testers. And after analyzing the bugs identified from these testers, the developers sit on fixing it and finally come up with a release. Now would this release be bug-less? Absolutely not! Remember, its only been tested amongst a very few number of people and the rolling out happens to thousands residing in different parts of the world. If you think about it, what these updates are gonna deal with is a varied number of users, different carriers, sim make etc etc.
Take for example, for Indian users, the 4.4.2 update has been rolled out for quite a while. Lots of bugs were identified since then and the forum managers have been collecting data from the subscribers for quite a while now (Almost 4 months). Still the fix has not happened. And now 4.4.4 is out and issues persist.
I hvae been using 4.3, 4.4.2, then CM11, Mokee ROM etc etc, and now Im finally back to stock 4.3, coz thats the most stable version. So if you are someone who is interested in trying out new releases, please go ahead, but if you are someone who needs a stable ROM with no signal drop issues, please stick to 4.3.
totally disagree. I have european version Moto G with stock 4.4.2 and everything is working perfeclty. Try to wipe you Moto or flash any other rom.
seems like pebkac not buggy firmware . otherwise every single guy would be facing same problems and that's not happening .

Just to clarify, did you receive an update package sometime after the primary update?
4.4.3 works fine on my US GSM moto G. But it might be different for others.
Also, add a warning to the OP that if you're already on 4.4.3+, you can't downgrade anymore. Motoboot from 4.4.3+ doesn't seem to like downgrading anymore, unfortunately.
4.2.2 works great, no signal drops or anything. Waiting for eupean 4.4.4. :good:

Question is whether downgrading is possible from 4.4.4 ?
I totally agree to ovitz. Updates are supposed to fix issues with older versions of the software. My moto came with 4.4.2 and i never had issues with signal drops. I am from India. Btw it's always better to reset phone after the update.
I agree with you OP on some extent. I also recently downgraded to 4.3 from 4.4.2 just for the lulz, because I was getting "image is too large" error but surprisingly today the flashing was successful. The battery timing has improved, dialer app is cooler than that of the 4.4.2. I'm finding these changes quite interesting because I didn't stay with 4.3 for too long; my Moto G received the KitKat update the moment I powered it on for the first time.

While I do agree with you for most of what you said, not everyone has bugs or issues with their phones on 4.4.3/4.4.4 upgrade. I myself has had one bug that came with the phone since 4.3 and it's worst now on 4.4.3 and ironically, I've gotten all the bugs on the 4.4.3 that others were getting on 4.4.2. I ended up putting on CM11 because it was getting to me.
P.S. It's impossible to downgrade from 4.4.3/4.4.4. I would love to downgrade back to 4.3. Never got the chance to see how it behaved on my phone because I updated to 4.4.2 the moment I booted for the first time.
Did I mention the "Sign in to WiFi" error on the 4.4.2? That's annoying as hell.

It is possible!, download the 4.4 official ROM and do a fastboot and install all the IMG files.
Thats how I did it,

but you can't downgrade the bootloader, so didn't you get any errors?
Not that guy, Don't touch the motoboot and you should be fine
There's no point of updating your phone unless youare receiving it over OTA. Doing it manually is risky. The only thing that you'll get is new AOSP dialer and few security fixes. There's no reward..no improvement in performance as well as in camera quality. People are reporting bugs all over the globe and they desperatly want to switch back to 4.4.2. Few have them are also facing downgrading issues.
And you want to go through all this for just a minor update? Android L could be a good reason as it is worth updating even after bugs. But a minor update is definitely not.
If some one will ask me which is best ROM for my moto g? I would say Stock 4.4.2. I tried all custom ROMs but no one was as smooth as stock 4.4.2.
Consequences be damn'ed.
Simple answer- yeah, well, that's just like your opinion man.
Indian user. Unlocker my bootloader, Converted to GPE while on 4.4.2. The GpE move was made partly because I had jo desire nor the use if a second sim and mostly because I wanted a clean OS. Period.
Got instant OTA update to 4.4.4 to the day it was pushed.
No issues so far, None in fact and it's been over a week or thereabouts(I admit to the likelihood of me being an isolated case)
Lastly, to each his own.
Android is meant to be taken care of AS WELL tinker every single detail or option if you have the cojones for it. Ciao.

I have just upgrade to 4.4.4 XT1033 (Malaysian), noted the missing 2 empty simcard icone and new rather flat dialer! nothing much has changed and certainly hasn't noticed any issue mentioned herein!
If one were to go by op opinion then they would be using 4.3 for the rest of the devices life ! I wonder what his comment would be once L comes to our device.
I have to disagree the OP as an xt1033 owner since march 2014.
Android 4.4.4 OTA for moto g helps fix various sw issues and increased performance,new baseband to aid the radio issues. Media playback is improved. The device is more of a swiss-tool now.
GPe edition of Moto G running KTU84P.M003 like a dream and eats more battery,too. I wish i could have flashed it earlier.

Just curious, if it eats more battery how come you call it a dream?
I have been following the lollipop experiences of Nakasi/Grouper (wifi-only) users here and been expecting to see an update for my Nakasig/Tilapia (3g) Nexus 7 Tablet as well - but I keep re-checking the Google Factory Images repo and it lists the Nakasi (grouper) Lollipop image, but none for the Nakasig (tilapia):
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Also, no OTA notification.
So I have two questions:
Will Nakasig/Tilapia get the Lollipop update - and if so, does anyone know when?
Since I don't use the 3g module at all on my Nakasig: Can I simply flash the Nakasi/grouper lollipop image on my Nakasig/tilapia device and get a working device (except the 3g module of course)?
I think that nakasi ROM won't do it. The radio in both devices is different as far as I know... anyone with more knowledge on the subject can confirm this?
I couldn't wait for the nakasig version and am using lollipop on my nakasig, without 3g of course.
Just don't flash the whole image, skip the radio if there even is one.
I flashed cache, recovery, system, data (was that all?)
I had to do full wipe etc but have been happily using it since.
I also flashed twrp later, converted to f2fs and flashed a compatible rom.
The update is going to be available in the next few days from what they said. (Both factory images and OTA)
Lets hope rooting etc is the same with the simple nakasi, so we can get a proper 5.0 ASAP.
So you can confirm it will work with nakasi image if I don't flash radio ? I'm not using 3G either at this moment...
Well, like I said. I've done this. It works. I used nakasi factory image for a while, then I flashed some other lollipop rom (which was also for nakasi) which had f2fs support.
I'm sick of waiting for the nakasig update. Rapid Updates are one of the reasons I bought a nexus with 3g. You live and learn, eh?

I wonder how different that damn radio is that is keeping them from releasing an update. And the same is happening with the 2013 3g version too.
I still remember what happened with the Galaxy Nexus, lets hope its not so bad with the Nexus 7.

So far they're doing a bang up job!
I had recently bought LG G2 D802 phone this month and I wanted to upgrade it to possibly Android 4.4 Kitkat from Android 4.2 Jellybean So, I went to 'Update Center > Software Update in phone settings.
The update is known as:
"v20a-MAR-07-2014 (534.84 MB)"
Firstly, I would like to know whether this Kitkat or lollipop or whatever update it is?
After a few megabytes of downloading, the native download manager reports an error "Cannot download" and there's no way to resume it from where it left. I have tried this process many times and every time it failed and I am sure there's nothing wrong with my Wi-fi.
While I was looking for an alternative way to manually grab this update via PC, I tried "LG PC Suite" to check for updates which said that: "2 upgrades are available" and the latest version is lollipop as the picture in attachment shows. but I only wish to upgrade to Kitkat OS. Is possible that I just disconnect my phone from PC Suite after it finishes applying only just one upgrade and not the lollipop upgrade?
Most likely it's Kitkat. Lollipop for G2 is named like V30A, V30B, V30D and so on. You can download KDZ file for your device and flash it.
URL: http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=123123123
You have to replace 123123123 with your device's IMEI.

You can only download the newest available KDZ on the linked page. Probably not KK, since it's not the newest available for the D802.
Search around a bit. You should be able to find the KK KDZ for the region you want linked somewhere on xda. Just refer to the sticky post regarding flashing a KDZ.
And no you shouldn't disconnect your device during the update. Also the DL is failing because KK isn't available through LG servers anymore.
Happy upgrading

It sounds like a bad news that they have taken down the link from their Official website. So far the phone is working just fine and I am not sure if I should even update the phone to anything since many of the users from the forums all over the internet (as I have read) are complaining about how the updates ruined their phone (I assume especially the G2) and brought so many disappointing bugs to deal with.

AFAIK most bugs plaguing KK got fixed in the end. I remember downgrading from KK to JB because of some audio issues. They are now not present anymore, and KK is as stable as it gets. It even performed better than JB (the ui used to animate way too quickly so it looked laggy, and fixed the microstuttering in most apps).
I would personally recommend KK. Have had some problems with LP, where it wouldn't run as smoothly and the battery life was a tad worse, so now I'm back on KK.
My WiFi only tablet has gone through several 5.x.x updates, and at 5.1.1 is still almost unusable. I would like to get it back to a version that works well, and prevent it going to a more current version. I assume 4.something, or perhaps one of the non-Google versions.
The last "flashing" experience other than that managed by the device (routers, desktop and laptop PCs) was back in the 1980s with UV erasable and writable 2716 type devices. I'm not stupid, but am ignorant.
Are older images (I assume this deletes all) or other forms of update available? Are guides to doing it available?
Thanks!
The easiest way is using Nexus Root Kit from Wugfresh. It pretty self explanatory. Just make sure that driver test passes before flashing Kit Kat. I flashed latest stock 5.1.1 and it seems to be reasonably smooth although KK is faster.
I also rooted and applied stability mode from Root Booster.
