So I've had my nexus 7 2013 (wifi) for a while and before Lollipop came out on the ota update I decided to flash it myself because I was a bit inpatient. Since then I've been flashing the images on my own, but I still get a message on the table about an update, but I can not update it through the tablet itself anymore even when I have the factory recovery and everything else is flash backed to stock. I would like to know if there is a solution to this problem as flashing everything back to stock has not worked. Thank you.

Hi there,
I have a rooted 3G Nexus 7. I ran the notification to run an OTA update for 4.3 Jellybean, it rebooted into TWRP, and I blindly said yes. Eventually I confirmed TWRP to allow it to fix root permission. I tried rebooting, but I ended up getting stuck at the X screen. Tried a few resets, but that didn't work. I Googled a bit, cleared the cache and the dalvik cache on TWRP, and came across this.
I got lazy, and probably shouldn't have done most of what I had done, so I'd like to know if there is a way to fix this without having to reflash the ROM.
Fix
I got impatient waiting for a response, so I just flashed Cyanogen on it, thinking this would be the most opportune time to try it out hehe. To anyone else who runs into the issue and sees this, I'm 99% sure that you could just flash stock on too, but I wanted to try out a custom ROM.
Hi Everyone,
I am currently running android 4.3(JWR66v) I flashed it using fastboot, so it is clean.
After that I rooted it and installed CWM v6.3.6 and BusyBox pro.
That is the only changes I did to my device,everything else is stock.
2 day ago I got a system update notification, looking in the cache folder I found this :
"8b2531d9d9a686c7dcf347513ce8141d59a251c6.signed-nakasi-JWR66Y-from-JWR66V.8b2531d9.zip"
I confirmed the reboot/Install but it failed with the classic (Status 7) I do not understand what is going on ?
Do I need flash my device again with a factory to get the update to install ?
I had the same setup since I bough this device last year and It had no trouble what so ever upgrading before(Unlocked+rooted+CWM)
This is supposed to be a nexus device but it sure doesn't act like one,
Can some one please help ?
Had the same problem going from 4.2.2 to 4.3. Same as you, stock rooted, but had TWRP as my recovery. I did go back to stock recovery, but no go. Ended up doing clean install. However, going from JWR66V to JWR66Y, I had no problem. Took OTA without even having to install stock recovery.
You must not be as stock as you think. My guess is you must have altered something in system that they are checking on. Hope someone with more knowledge is able to help you out because it is a PITA to have to clean install for every update. Good luck.
To my delight, I got the OTA update or whatever it is, the official thingie to update to 4.4, icon and all.
I start it up, it goes through the motions, then it gives me a nondescript error (( The little Android looked like how it did when it's awaiting a bootloader instruction. ))
Does this mean my Android stock is borked? Do I need to factory wipe? I am confused. I did, however, download the Google-based Nexus 2012 KitKat build and I attempted to ADB it, and it gave me yet another error, with this - E:Error in /tmp/update.zip.
Any help that can be given would be wonderful.
I have the same issue. I wiped the cache and done a factory reset but it didn't fix the issue. I downloaded Nexus root toolkit as it has a unbrick feature and ran that but it seems to have made it worse, I can no longer get into recovery.
My nexus 4 was rooted a while back before I got the OTA 4.3 android update via system update. Everything went fine then with that download. I was a bit anxious to get the 4.4 kit kat release and having seen it appear in system update 2 days ago I decided I was gonna download it yesterday and I did. After it finished the phone restarted and then was stuck in an infinite loop. I had no backup and so I decided to wipe; after which I had no operating system. I downloaded the
factory rom image of 4.4 (stock_mako_KRT16S.zip),
radio (cwm-radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.97.zip)
and bootloader (KK_4-4_BOOTLOADER.zip)
I flashed the radio first then then bootloader and both fine, then when it was turn for the factory rom it said error extracting file.. the dreaded status 7 error.
Anyways, I figured since it wasn't working I'd just go for a custom rom and I had rasbeanjelly on my phone from back when I rooted but never got around to flashing. So I thought I would try it and it flashed along with the gapps 4.3 but I've had several huge glitches such as the phone moving slowly and missing important google apps such as camera and such.
So I was up all night trying to figure out how to go back to stock rom and do a recovery and everything I tried was no luck. Kept running into the status 7 error. Watched a few videos that suggested I get Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit to unroot and then lock my bootloader and then flash a stock recovery. It didn't work because I realised one severe difference.
MY NEXUS 4 HAS A NEXUS 7 BUILD NUMBER.. I googled the internet and nothing..
Anyways. Says android 4.3
Build: JSS15Q
rasbeanjelly build: fri aug 23 2013 (probably old)
I just wanna know how I can get back to stock.
And I lost my root privileges as well when I flashed rasbean.
Any other information can be provided. THANKS MUCH.
Hello,
I want to know if it is possible to root the stock rom, and keep OTA.
Actually, my objective is to use screen mirroring (miracast), and I heard rooted devices can achieve that by changing build.prop. I didn't want to switch from stock rom, since I like it and like updating OTA.
Maybe if I adb boot twrp and install supersu, but keep regular revovery, I can still get OTA?
If there's another solution to screen mirroring, I'd be glad to know, too.
Thanks in advance!
I've tried to root stock rom and keep the system unmodified through Magisk. For whatever reason OTA always fails even though I have stock recovery, supposedly unmodified system, and rolling back to stock boot image prior to trying the OTA.
The only thing that works is to flash the stock firmware and then taking OTA. The only problem is that the stock firmware is tough to come by, but I read that someone got their hands on the latest 93-10 firmware image. So that's good.
I've since moved onto Pixel Experience 8.1 rom without any regrets. The camera works really well and battery is nearly up to par with stock Nougat.
No, unfortunately these things still modify the the system and boot partition and the upgrade script knows it and causes the update to fail. We don't know exactly everything the OTA update scripts check (it's not just a simple text file) but it is obviously something that it knows you are rooted even when nothing else does. :/
You must be completely stock to take an OTA update... the only exception is your bootloader lock state doesn't matter at this time, we do know that it is capable of detecting that as well.
I have done that and I got Bootloop! So don't Try!
