Can you check if the bootloader is still 04.05 or it changed?
I heard, it is the same

Its 4.05 bootloader still. Somehow in the zip its called bootloader-flo-flo-04.05.img
There's a new kernel, some changes in the source. Its compiled March 21
Not much else changed
Has any one got the ota yet ?
@Vkk187
ofc not.
Flash the stock image with NRT and check "dirty flash" and that will not delete your apps and data.
Yet to unlock my BL ...I know it's simple . Will do it some day [emoji18]
AonI updated to 5.1 rooted stock via TWRP a couple weeks ago.
Today I just got this update notification for 5.1
Is today's notification for 5.1.1? Because it only says 5.1

I just completely flash-all every time a new build comes out as I do not know how to side load using NRT or TWRP (am I wasting my time on doing it this way). If someone could please explain to me how to side load I would be forever grateful. I have searched and cannot find clear instructions or walk through on side loading
Having read wugfresh page,it says Since lollipop,its hard to sideload OTA now. I myself try it last night with my rooted stock recovery,it fails to install the OTA from google,even if file has been downloaded automatically. Its harder to get OTA install smoothly nowadays especially if you on lollipop. No choice had full flash without wipe. And reroot again.

Actually, it's just as easy sideloading as it's always been. The difference is that you can't sideload an OTA (or receive one in any way) if you've done any kind of alterations to the system. This includes rooting and/or flashing custom recoveries and kernels. Even if you unroot there are still residue alterations in your system, meaning you'll have to do a full system flash anyway.
It's worth mentioning that unlocking your bootloader does not prevent installing an OTA.

I'm running rooted w/stock OTA 4.3. Are there any special upgrade procedures to update to 4.4 when rooted via Koush superuser and using the stock OTA?
Was able to update to 4.3 OTA w/o incident (see thread below)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45183403#post45183403
Bump...any info on whether or not its possible would be appreciated.
It should work as long as everything is stock (including recovery and kernel). You will however lose root, but that can easily be reobtained by flashing it after updating.

If you are rooted why not just flash a rooted stock rom? Confused why you wait for answers from others... I am just curious since I see people do this and it confuses me... Just askin and sorry if you think I may be flamin'.
Do people think the OTA is different somehow or works better somehow

Pretty sure that if I flash stock ROM I'm going to lose my settings. I've had VERY bad results backing up and restoring going from 4.2 to 4.3 and really don't want to go through that hassle unless absolutely required.
To answer your other question, I just prefer to be on the OTA.

If you are on a stock rom and flash the upgraded version you wont lose your settings. Flashing one rom over another can be done its just frowned up in some cases. Lets be honest though there are quite a few back up tools out there for you to achieve a duplicated look going from one rom to another within the hour.
I hear ya if you had issues but you sure its not in your procedure. Be glad to help you if you need it. Thanks for answering the question though but I believe your route is more cumbersome than just a simple flash but what ever makes you more comfortable is best I get that

Mine was same specs like yours (stock 4.3 - rooted by Koush superuser) and updated to 4.4 through OTA just fine :good:
Never had any problem with Koush superuser and OTAs on both Nexus 4 & Galaxy Nexus (can't say the same with supersu)
Tried to upgrade to 4.4. The upgrade failed and the phone reports no command when I reboot. Still on stock recovery.
Any suggestions on what I should try next to recover?
Note: I do have TWRP available while running fastboot.
I installed the factory stock image (and formatted the cache but didn't wipe out the userdata image). I know the first boot should take an extended amount of time, but its been showing the rotating circles for about 8 minutes now. What is a reasonable amount of time for the initial boot?
Wiping the cache and the Dalvik cache from TWRP solved it. I'm rooted again and things appear to be back to normal.

I've followed the instructions on rooting my Nexus 4 along with all subsequent updates from nexus4root.com
However, that site has been inactive since 26Nov, 2013.
So I'm running a rooted stock 4.4 KRT16S and have got the 4.4.2 OTA update sitting on my phone waiting to get installed.
Please help me with advice on one of these two options:
1] A link to a file and instructions where I can update from 4.4 rooted to 4.4.2 rooted.
or
2] Will enabling OTA survival on my SuperSU v1.86 and then tapping on the OTA 4.4.2 on my device work?
Much thanks in advance

Downloaded the factory image of 4.4.2 and flash. Since you are rooted do a nandroid backup, a Titanium Backup, and backup your sdcard because all of it will be wiped. This is if you are determined to have the stock 4.4.2 this is the only thing I can think of to get there.
You can also try a custom rom as well.

Thank you Berry.
Wouldn't that cause me to lose root?
Supersu paid version is the only one that has survival mode(or originally was) and that's not guaranteed.
Definitely won't survive a factory image flash.
I know it works OTA from 4.3 to 4.4 but haven't tried 4.4,1 to 4.4.2. Should work and if it doesn't it is easy enough to re root.
Any problems feel free to ask.

You'll lose it but then just flash back supersu zip file and you're back rocking a rooted nexus. And btw, you don't need to flash factory image for 4.4.2. Just go to general section and look for a thread name OTA Helpdesk (use search option mate ) and flash/sideload the OTA file in recovery (preferably stock recovery or you can use twrp but cwm is a no go for OTA). Then flash back supersu. This is the easiest way and you still keep all your apps/data intact.

My bad, though I learnt something new there
Another of your comments made me decide to take the alternative ROM plunge.
So (deep breath) I've just flashed Paranoid Android's most recent rom
Loving the multi tiles within quick settings feature.
For the first half hour I kept trying to figure out where PA's setting are. After quite a bit of searching online, I found out that since it's being newly developed on KitKat, there are no PA settings at this point. Hope I've got that right?
Much thanks

Hi guys,long time lurker here.
I have recently tried to update my old Nexus 2012 to Kitkat, and messed it up!:crying:
I can only get into TWRP now, and only get roms on there via a USB OTG cable.
Thing is, i've tried loads of roms and they all seem to fail. I've obviously messed up somewhere, anyone give me any poiinters?
Cheers.
EDIT
Think I'm sorted - seems i can't update to Kitkat, I tried a 4.2 rom, and all is good.
Note to self - do more research before 'updating':silly:

For stock KitKat, use Nexus Root Toolkit and flash the stock binary, and enable USB debugging! Toolkit really takes over so it's kinda one click.
For a ROM? Update TWRP, CWM, or PhilZ to the latest version and pick a ROM that suits your fancy! Good luck on your journey!

You probably need to update your bootloader to the latest.
You could flash stock 4.2.2 with fastboot.... And when you reboot, it will give you the kit kat ota. Which will update your bootloader and leave you on 4.4.2. Then you just need to flash recovery and root again.

Hi, seymour71...
If you're running Googles official factory stock Android 4.2, then you can download the relevant OTA update(s) from here, directly to your Nexus 7, and flash in CWM or TWRP.
You can find out the specifics of the ROM build number your currently running by going to SETTINGS>>ABOUT TABLET>>BUILD NUMBER on your Nexus 7.
You may need to upgrade incrementally, that is to say, from 4.2 to 4.3 (and their successive point updates) right through to the latest version, Android 4.4.2 (Build number: KOT49H).
NOTE: OTA UPDATES ONLY WORK WITH OFFICIAL UNMODIFIED FACTORY STOCK... If you're running a Custom 4.2 based ROM, then flashing them will fail.
Good luck.

"BeatMod CrystalClear v2.3"... Never heard of that one before. There are some pretty obscure ROMs out there. This one sounds like it has some sort of 'music' orientation.
Anyhow... it's a Custom ROM... and you wont be able to update it to 4.4.2 unless the developer has released a 4.4.2 version.
---------------------------------------------------------
Your best bet is to fastboot flash the official Google factory stock image for your specific Nexus 7(2012) model (WiFi only, or WiFi & 3G).
The Nexus 7(2012) factory image(s) can be found here...

Ah, it seems I didn't do it right properly first time.
I'm now on 4.2.2 with the build number JDQ39.
Would I be safe to flash a stock 4.4 rom using the toolkit now? It hasn't offered me an ota update - not yet, anyway.
Edit- It's doing it now, I think. Watch this space!

Hi, afraid if you've root on your device, more importantly, you have a custom recovery partition in your device, do not accept OTAs. This could permanently brick your Nexus 7. You may be able to temporarily "unroot" the device, removing the custom recovery and flashing back to full stock with stock recovery. Check your device's threads for any available guides.

you don't really need to go back to stock. when the ota becomes available, either here on xda or when it's available on your tablet, download it then install it through the recovery on your tablet. you'll lose root but just flash a root package and you're all done. i've done this before and no problems what so ever.

I would recommend that one, as its basically rooted stock which is what you're currently running anyway. You can just wipe cache and dalvik cache in recovery and flash it, no need to wipe data (so your apps/settings/files will all be untouched). If there are any questions in recovery to flash stock recovery or fix root just answer no to both, my root was kept intact without having to reflash superSU. It saves waiting for the OTA (which still isn't here for some reason) and the risk of it failing/losing root/custom recovery for whatever reason.
As always just in case, make a full nandroid backup in recovery, then flash the ROM. You shouldn't have any problems. :good:

Okay, correct me if I am wrong:
if OTA updates available, do not proceed to DL (over WIFI) and do not let tablet do the installation, as it might cause problem (brick?).
DL thru XDA install thru recovery instead. ( either in ZIP or .img? format).

I have a P1640 recently updated to lollipop 5.1. I was using a rooted 4.4.2(2.5) with TWRP-V3. I flashed the recovery image from 4.4.2 2.4.1, and then booted to apply the "OTA". From here 5.1 rebooted and installed, then updated everything. All apps survived with exception to xposed and superSU.
I rebooted to bootloader, and used fastboot to boot TWRP-V3 (no flashing). With TWRP, I was able to install superSU and reboot.
Now I have 5.1 rooted, and adaway updated

Hi there, i can't believe it. I also have a 1640 rooted on 4.4.2. Why should the OTA be come with image 2.4.1 and not 2.5? Thought the update to lollipop is only for the 1988 model? But by the way, it would be nice!

I had the 2.5 OTA on the tablet with TWRP-V3... I had to put a stock recovery on the tablet in order to run the 5.1 update. I did not backup my 2.5 recovery image, so I went with the next available recovery, from OTA 2.4.1
I really do hope that the 5.1 update is released soon, as it seem to be working perfectly. Antutu refused to work though, the test button did nothing.

Well, KK 4.4.2 was really getting laggy on me, this is when I went searching for updates. I ended up flashing EVERYTHING and starting with a new 4.4.2. This made the tablet like new. I used the TN7 as a satnav while I was out of the country for a few weeks, and was having a bad time with the GPS service failing randomly, needing a full reboot. Once I got back, I updated to 5.1 and installed GTA-SA... I played a bit on my way home the other day, and it was nice and smooth, as well as responsive.

btw that the antutu test button does not work correctly can happen some times on other devices as well. on my nubia z5s i have to press it multiple times until i hit the right spot. maybe you could give it one more try ;D

I had the 2.5 OTA on the tablet with TWRP-V3... I had to put a stock recovery on the tablet in order to run the 5.1 update. I did not backup my 2.5 recovery image, so I went with the next available recovery, from OTA 2.4.1
I really do hope that the 5.1 update is released soon, as it seem to be working perfectly. Antutu refused to work though, the test button did nothing.

You got the "OTA for 5.1 is available"-message on your tablet only with 2.4.1 or also before with 2.5? Why you started the Over-The-Air update not from the latest 4.4.2 and downgraded before?

I think there is no OTA for 1640 available ?, the threadowner doesn't post a related screenshot and don't answer.

But if i understand the other thread correctly, it's a dev image for internal use only. So it ISN'T released yet!
So please don't make all other tn7 owner completly nervous [emoji16]
