I have not received the OTA for nougat yet but I see that factory images have been released. Has anyone rooted the official release? Are the same methods used as in marshmallow or do you have to do something special?
Sorry about the title. Apparently Google Voice thought I was saying something else

It's all the same.

I just flashed Nougat over 6.0.1 (MTC20L) and I'm stuck at the boot animation for at least 5 mins. Should I wait more? I had twrp and root.
Edit: had to wipe data in TWRP to get it to boot. Blah.

My brother go this OTA on Friday but i have nothing yet. I did a soft root and have changed the boot anim. Last update I did also have soft root. Is the boot anim enough to prevent the update comming?
It shouldn't unless if you have flashed a custom rom.

Could be, but it would only stop the flashing of the OTA, not getting the OTA in the first place. Easier to just download the OTA file and flash it via adb sideload IMO
Using stock rom.
Will flashing act as a OTA I mean so I still keep settings?
Or will it be like flashing custom rom?

I'm curious about this also.
This should throw some light on the subject...

I did just get it downloaded now. There seem to be some issues with the update. Is it really worth doing? I read about people having troubble after updating....

Hi all - I just received a notice on my Nexus 7 that there is a system update to install. I already installed 4.3 build JWR66V a couple weeks ago. Anyone know what this update is? I can't seem to find any information anywhere. My device is unlocked and rooted, running stock.
Yeah, google has released a newer version, so if you're on stock, why not update?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
It's an update from build JWR66V to JWR66Y, still Android 4.3.
If it's an OTA update, always install it.
It fixes a couple of issues after the 4.3 update
Sent from my Nexus 7(2012) that has zero issues.
Is it possible to update via ota when the device is unlocked and rooted? I updated it but it still says JWR66V, not Y. But when I look for an update it says up to date.

Will this update unroot it?
Yes you'll still recieve the update it just hasnt been pushed to you yet if it says up to date. Factory images for it are already up waiting on someone to make a zip for CWM

OTA's always remove root
Apparently not. I updated but I still have root

Me too, but gives error when installing =(
Rooter and bootloader unlock
Had an error at then end of the installation but looks like it succeed to update it coz when i started my device it said that my applications are optimizating for the new version or something like that.
Build is JWR66V now, there is no any system updates now. Root is still there.

Anybody working on a zip yet for the update??
If you lost root and it put you back on stock recovery just reflash your recovery then supersu
For the folks that are having "error" during the update, restart your n7 then clear cache and data from framework services and check for updates again and it should come up. Also make sure you at least have 80% battery level:good:
It's supposed to fix the phantom screen touch problem and a few other things I'm sure someone will come up with root G.B.Y.
Sent from my Nexus 7
There's an OTA .zip for build JWR66Y here... but there appears to be a problem with symlink permisssions.
But there is also a solution here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1745781&page=53 and a modified version of the OTA that fixes the permissions. Worked for me flashing via TRWP.
Incidentally, I also lost root after upgrading... not sure why... but not a big problem, as I reflashed SuperSU v1.51 in TWRP.
-----------------------------
Not quite sure what this very minor upgrade is supposed to accomplish, given 4.3 was only rolled out 4 weeks or so, ago.... but I suspect it has a lot to do with a minor screwup on Googles part, the details of which can be found here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2382880.
I think (and I could be wrong), build JWR66Y is {AOSP JSS15J + Gapps}... in other words, JSS15J, released as Factory Stock instead of AOSP.
And the full factory image of JWR66Y is already available on the Google Developer website here and it's immediate predecessor, JWR66V has been 'pulled' and is no longer available for download.
Anyway, take a look at the above link, and you should see what I'm getting at.
Rgrds,
Ged.
grouper zip that was linked worked great here. No issues here now
Not sure how many other people are getting this update. But I just got Android 4.4 KitKat on my Moto X.
Its downloading right now and should be installed in the next few minutes.
Odd Note:
I got another (very small) update before the kitkat update came.
This small update failed, so when I went to go retry it instead of saying the the other update it said that KitKat 4.4 was ready to download. :victory:

And the second one worked no problem? I thought it failed by me because of root, are you rooted?

So, 4.4 failed too. Perhaps because of my bootloader unlock? I'm not rooted.
Anyone have any guides to revert to full stock?
Got the 4.4 update today. Didn't notice a intermediate update though. - stock - locked BL.
The update started last week, and the stock firmware is posted in a thread with instructions

I'm stock and not unlocked. Update came through attempted to install and it says something to the effect of no recovery. Sprint now has my phone to see if they can fix it.

Finally got KitKat here as well. Little disappointed about the dialer lacking nearby searching.

need to flash to stock then take the OTA or you'll see endless reboot loop.
I am in the Android beta program and flashed the 7.1.1 update. My stock camera up is VERY dark in all apps. Is anyone else experiencing this? Or have a fix?
Nexus 6P Android 7.1.1 SuperSU 2.78 and ElementalX kernal 3.06 installed.
Thanks
its the kernel, they aren't updated for 7.1 yet
Just revert back to stock kernel(or decrypted stock) till 3rd party 7.1 kernel is released.
Not to beat a dead horse, but everyone here is correct. There's no kernel source posted yet. That will happen no matter what kernel you use until source drops and developers update.
Someone said that they flash a 7.0 vendor image on 7.1.1 and it fixed the camera issue..
You could try that but make a backup first.

Thanks for the comments guys,
I figured if the kernel was the issue it would have affected more than just the camera.

The kernel is the issue as source isn't released yet for the Dev to update..

Hi,
My Nexus 6P is on android 6.0.1 and after reading all the problems with Nougat, I would better stay on marshmallow.
However, my security patch is from April 2016.
I am rooted with stock 6.0.1 MHC19Q.
Would like to know if I can update only the security update and if so, how to do this ?

I respect your decision to stay with MM, but I think it is misguided. There are many improvements that come with installing N, including the security updates. Security updates are part of the OS update and are not available separately. If you want the benefits of the latest security updates, you have to install 7.1.2.
Right now I'm on latest stock rooted with franco kernel and there are no issues. Except there's no xposed support.
But updating to nougat comes with no issues, so u should try, make a backup and flash.
I'm afraid to update because of brick possibility. From what I read, many users that updated, had a brick.

Nah, don't be afraid, I'm flashing everything with twrp, factory images too. No issues.
If by brick issue you are talking about the boot loop of death that's a hardware issue and it happens while you are on Marshmallow, Nougat or a custom Rom. If you are talking about something else as long as your bootloader is unlocked and OEM Unlock is enabled in developer options you should be able to recover in the unlikely event of a flash going bad. Whether to flash or not is a tradeoff. You get the latest features and security updates on Nougat but you can't use Xposed (if that's actually important to you) and you will almost certainly get worse battery life on the latest versions of Nougat than you are getting on Marshmallow. Google has goosed the stock kernel settings lately resulting in worse battery life and the operating system and screen using more battery than previously. The only way to avoid that and stay up to date is to flash a custom kernel or flash a custom Rom.
I have bootloader unlocked from the first day of the phone. I really like this model (except for the camera that responds slower than the nexus 5 one) and would like to use it at least one more year. Really worry about the hard brick and because of its, staying till now on stock 6.0.1.
With N5, I flashed many roms, but in this one, I stayed one year on a single rom that came on it.

The bootloop issue has nothing to do with the os update. It is because of dodgy hardware. It can happen from a damaged and degraded battery. Updating to nougat doesn't cause the issue.
