There are two STOCK 4.2.2 roms in this thread. One is DEODEXED and the other is ODEXED.
I recommend downloading the DEODEXED STOCK 4.2.2 rom.
Here's the link to the DEODEXED STOCK ROM:

Download it, put it in your N7 and flash it via recovery. You won't lose any data and you don't have to wipe anything. Just flash and go!

I won't get error 7 ?
For installing this ?
And its not ota update how come it wont wipe data?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD

1) make a full nandroid (cwm/twrp) backup
2) flash a 4.2.2 stock-derived ROM on top of existing ROM - no wipe
2.5) flash a minimal root kit (SuperSU or Superuser) if not in ROM in step 2 - no wipe
3) flash the same kernel you used previously - no wipe
4) profit!
No workie? Restore backup from step # 1 and try something else.

1. Have you read the thread?
2. No it won't give you an error. Why would it?
3. It's from the official OTA update. You just don't need to wipe anything. Trust me on this.
4. How come? I did this last night on my Nexus 7 and everything is just fine.
5. You won't get a bootloop or an error if you do exactly what I just told you.

There's no need to do that. But in spite of it, I can tell you that you can just create the nandroid backup and leave it in your device. Don't pull it out. Just flash the download in my previous post and if anything goes wrong. Enter recovery mode and restore your system. Even if you did pull the nandriod backup file from the N7 and the device fails to boot up, you cant just put the file back in to restore it that way. It won't mount so you can access the internal storage system.
P.S i don't know how to make the backup show up but i think there are a few thread here that some people have found a solution to it.

I have had TWRP behave the same way - sometimes it will put backups in
/data/media/TWRP/...
and sometimes in
/data/media/0/TWRP/...
It is a bit of a mystery what causes this to happen. Strangely, when there is a folder in the first location, TWRP (2.4.1.0) will not find the second one. But, if I manually move the files from the first location (/data/media/TWRP) to the second location (/data/media/0/TWRP) using a file manager, then TWRP will find the backups no problem.
well, the "sdcard" mount point ( == /data/media/0/ ) is the thing that shows up on the PC via MTP mode, so I would just move the files to the second location. I'm not sure if CWM behaves the same way, but you will certainly be able to copy them from the N7 to the PC at that point.
good luck.

LOL. I told you it works.
There's one thing that you're missing from that update. And that is the bootloader version, the bootloader version that you're currently using is 4.13. The newest version is 4.18. You don't have to update it if you don't want to.
I'll include this link for you to flash the latest bootloader via command prompt.

Updating bootloader does not wipe anything. It simply replaces and updates the one you already have on.
Definition of a bootloader:
http://m.androidcentral.com/what-is-android-bootloader
Sideload? I think so.

boot(basically kernel) and system are usually what people mean 'custom ROM'. So if you just manually flash these two things(and usually need to be done together), none of your 'data' would be lost.
So just find these two images (usually .img) in whatever custom ROM you want and flash it.
This is the unix convention for a long long while and android is just linux

[4.4.4][TWRP][Modified system] OTA update zip file

So I have pulled and uploaded the update zip file to drive just in case anyone needs it.
And modified to get it working on twrp with Modified system but important core apps like systemui.apk need to be untouched though, no need to flash stock again, just normal flash via TWRP, worked on mine.
And some people were asking if it flashes default recovery or not, so the Answer is TWRP/CWM will stick.
And you will not lose root Access too
Download Links:
TWRP/CWM flashable
Default OTA zip
Explanation of how solve if still having problems as posted by @[email protected]
[email protected] said:
As OP said,
U only have to edit the updater-script file present under condor_4.4.4_TWRP_flashable.zip\META-INF\com\google\android in order to get the zip file working.
1. Copy the condor_4.4.4_TWRP_flashable.zip file that OP shared to your PC.
2. Now open this file using any zip handler like 7zip/winzip/winrar/windows explorer(if running windows8+), browse to the above location to find updater-script file, now extract /copy this on your PC.
3. Now select an option to edit this file using Notepad++ (step 4 on how/what to edit/change)
4. As per the TWRP error log, remove all the lines from the updater-script in particular to that error.
For Ex. if the error says:
/system/app/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk\" has unexpected contents.
then u need to remove the following line from the updater-script
apply_patch_check("/system/app/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk", "f4b9dc41f0d4691a2f9b71be06036c1de91c43ea", "d57f5cbc092e3e6cab286793da70ee7ffc4f440e") || abort("\"/system/app/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk\" has unexpected contents.");
assert(apply_patch("/system/app/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk", "-",
f4b9dc41f0d4691a2f9b71be06036c1de91c43ea, 160480,
d57f5cbc092e3e6cab286793da70ee7ffc4f440e, package_extract_file("patch/system/app/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk.p")));
5. Once u are done with all such, simply save the updater-script and copy this back to its location and select replace if asked.
6. Now save the condor_4.4.4_TWRP_flashable.zip and copy it back to Phone and try flashing now using TWRP.
hope it helps

Flash the attached recovery.img (after unzipping the archive) using fastboot or mfastboot.
This one is only for XT1022.

Okay, so tried to modify the updater script to get it working with TWRP but it won't work if you modified any system file by yourself because it verifies all the system files and then patches them, (I had modified many apks, so it didn't work.), tried to skip verification but then it failed during patch.
So you can try But it won't work for modified system. and must create a nandroid backup.
Use the attached updater script for TWRP.
Even Stock recovery won't work on modified system.

update works on rooted devices but there should be stock recovery
Rooted users can update their moto e but must have stock recovery. If you are facing problem with trwp recovery while updating it, then flash the stock recovery annd then try. It works
Hit thanx if helped

Android N Root Working(Explained)

There are two methods to root Android N .
Method 1
Flash the Supersu.zip from custom recovery.
RC-SuperSU-v2.69-20160313161431.zip
Method 2
This method will work without custom recovery , just download it and go the fastboot and follow the steps .

reboot your Nexus 5X into bootloader
Now open the root-windows(If you are using windows otherwise select the file which is for your operating system)
Now the command window will open and ask you to enter any key to continue
Then press any key from your keyboard and it will automatically done the remaining process and your phone will reboot
If you device got bootloop then poweroff the device once and power on manually
Thats it you will see the SuperSu icon .
If you like hit the thanks ......

No problems with install.

Only problem I find now is TiBu won't restore APP's it will restore some settings and call logs though.
Found a few other things that are not working correctly. Not sure if it's ROM related. Root Explorer and Explorer lock up when opened.
I have wiped and tried everything twice all with same results.

Technical details: this is a repacking of the Google image with a modified Kernel and removed userdata and recovery images. Everything else is stock.

About root and other issues
To obtain root after installing this update you should flash SuperSU 2.78 (or higher) in recovery. Get it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/stable-2016-09-01supersu-v2-78-release-t3452703.
Some of your apps may be too old to work properly under 7.0 so if they act up you may need to uninstall them and install the newer versions. If some of your old settings like wifi calling don't work properly, especially if you upgrade from a custom ROM, it is not because of this flashable zip, the reason is that Nougat is having trouble converting your settings and a factory reset will solve all of your problems.

was waiting for this to drop, awesome, downloading now

how do i flash twrp3.02? can i just use flashify app?

Works great and as advertised. Thanks!

flash-all.bat contains a typo.
fastboot flash boot shamu-npd90g-boot-NoEncNoVerify.img
should be
fastboot flash boot shamu-nbd90z-boot-NoEncNoVerify.img

So can we still flash this over yesterday's nougat update or have to go back to M?

This is what I have been waiting for, najoor I have been using your NDP5 since July, thank you for your work downloading now.

Thanks mate. So what's the difference than this release http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...ightromstock-lmy47e-03-19-2015-t3059493/page4
Edit: what if I'm encrypted?

Works great. If you are a Verizon customer with an unlimited data plan, you can use root explorer to add net.tethering.noprovisioning=true to your build prop to unlock tethering. (Must be rooted to use root explorer.)

Thanks op! Will this flash bootloader and radios too? I'm coming from MM custom ROM. Also, why the modified kernel and what is different from stock?

Yes it will flash everything. The kernel is modified so that you can change the OS through recovery without getting a bootloop. Unmodified kernels after lollipop check for system integrity at every boot up and generate a panic signal if something is changed. Also the modified kernel does not force encryption so your system remains unencrypted if it already is.

I presume this bootloader is backwards compatible with M ROMs as was the previous one?

Well I was hoping the official build would've fixed my Wifi disconnection problems but unfortunately I'm still having them. Anyone else? Mine started on P5 and I've done everything as far as turning on and off different settings on my phone, to resetting my router to see if that was the problem and it's still continuing to do the same thing.

Flashed this over najoor's NDP5 and added ElementalX 4.08 and superSu 2.78, works perfectly. No issues, all root apps still working, very smooth and stable.
Thank you najoor nice work.

Do a clean install then. Dirty flashing over DP5 caused it to others too.
