Hey guys. I have the nexus 7 mobile and I recently downgraded to 4.4.4 from 5.0.2 (by manually flashing the original factory image from google). While I don't necessarily want to go back to 5.0.2 right now, I don't get any notifications for new system updates being available OTA. If a new android comes up for my device, how do I know it will appear as OTA? Or did I break this function by downgrading?

Hi,
I have a Nexus 7 ME370T (Wi-Fi Model). I'm currently on 4.4.4 but if I check for updates the message is "System is Updated". No 5.0/5.0.1/5.0.2. OS is original and was never rooted. How can I get OTA updates (don't want to flash from factory images).
Thanks in advance
Stefano
I would stick with Kitkat for the time being until Google works out all the issues
wait!!

The Android 5.0 update for the Nexus 7 had loads of performance issues. So they stopped rolling it out.
Based on what I hear from the forums, Kitkat > Lolipop for N7.
Hi xda developers... i have a pretty strange issue which i couldn't find on any other threads.
When the first 5.0 ota update came i really wanted to do an OTA update... BUT because i had the tablet rooted i had to flash the whole system... I realized that 5.0 is not a useable OS so i flashed the system back at 4.4.4 jellybean.
So i waited till the 5.0.2 came and my notification bar told me that the system is ready for the update... I pressed reboot and install and when it was in the installing screen...it stoped at around 20% and then an error appeard.
So i cant install the ota update but i don't know what is the problem...i tried 2 times more and the same...
I have to say that my tablet is not rooted but it's unlocked if that makes a difference.
P.S: I also have the wifi model and the build number is : KTU84P.
p.p.s :Thanks for the attention
didn't look hard enough. look at my response in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3002555
Basically reflash the needed images to bring everything up to the correct baseband and build

Heyo everybody! I just got this ota update message: "Essential system updates for google android - .7924"
Not sure what to do. I've had this tablet rooted for a while and I'm worried that updating will wipe out the root. Also, is it safe and/or possible to update the slate 7 extreme to lollipop and root it successfully?
Anyone?
Same here... I crash each time on reboot and have to reflash twrp and restore...
OTA...Update .. OK
I dont really care much for this tablet anymore until Lollipop arrives, like nVidia promised.
I updated in hoping to see Lollipop, but alas only for KIT KAT.
Update worked fine, and since I am on STOCK/NON-ROOTED, no issues whats so ever.
Fixed

I finally managed to install the (kitkat) auto update and retain root status. As with previous updates (which I had forgotten about), I had to extract and modify the update header first, then flash it with TWRP.
Not attempted Lollipop yet.
Hello Nexus 4 users,
I recently switched over to the Nexus 4, which belonged to my wife previously, and want to update all the latest OTAs before I start flashing.
The nexus 4 was successfully rooted with Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit awhile back, perhaps a year ago.
I want to know how to determine which OTA I currently have on the phone. Then ,if I am not on the newest update, how do you go about? Is LMY47V or LMY48I the newest? How do you find out what update the phone is on?
Also, please tell me your tips and the simplest way to install the update. I'm not very good with scripts and commands but an excellent flasher :laugh:
Thank you in advance
Settings -> About Phone -> Build Number
Android versions: https: // developers . google . com /android/nexus/images?hl=en (but these are not OTA versions, to get those search for OTA download <build number> -- usually android police or another site will have a link to the OTA image).
Not sure about LMY47V or LMY48I. =( Educated guess that the last one in the list fixes stagefright so that's why it's still 5.1.1.
----
p.s. These sites need whitelisting of URLs... (for new accounts -- it's kind of stupid to restrict it if it's not a SPAM bot).
Just to add, OTA updates will fail since you've rooted your phone! You must be completely stock for OTAs to work.
So will all the updates be integrated in to the ROM I flash? Thus unnecessary to update OTA?
First, 48I is the newest and does patch stagefright. OTAs will not work on a rooted phone or one with any system files changed. If your bootloader is unlocked the easiest way to upgrade is to flash the system and boot images from 48i with fastboot. If you don't know how to do that start here,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34552123
Hi there
I've had my nexus 6p pretty much from launch here in the uk.
I have never received a OTA to the point i flashed MDB08L around a few week back. Did me flashing MDB08L break my OTA? I'm still on stock everything and flash the stock image from the google site. Or am i in the same boat as everyone else?
Thanks.
If you flashed the full OEM and have not rooted then you should get OTA's. They do get rolled out over time, not everyone gets them at exactly the same time. No idea if M (November patch) should be with everyone yet though.
Flashing the factory image did not hamper your ability to get OTA updates.
Rooting does NOT impact receiving OTA updates, it only prevents them from installing (until you restore the system /boot/recovery partitions).
It is believed that only phones in Korea will receive MDB08M. Everyone else is still on L.
