Exactly, open Wug's toolkit and click on 'Advanced Utilities'. Under Boot/Flash Image select 'Flash (Permanent)', Boot (select the extracted boot.img from the factory files,this is basically the kernel), then System (system.img), I updated the Boot loader as well its in the factory image as bootloader.img (something like that, you'll recognise it). The toolkit does the rest and you won't loose any data.
[Nexus 7 General] jb0ne:
Wait a sec - where'd you get the kernel to flash through wug's and how'd you do that part? - or you mean you had to flash boot, then system, then boot again?
[Nexus 7 General] gsmyth:
The kernel is the boot.img file within the factory image file. Just flash it using the Boot option under 'Advanced...'
[Nexus 7 General] jb0ne:
Ok here's what I did..gzip'd and untarred the factory image. Removed recovery.img and userdata.img from the zip file, leaving only boot.img and system.img.

Fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash bootloader [new 4.23 filename.img]

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot erase cache

fastboot update image-nakasi-krt16o.zip

It worked! Now some of my apps probably won't..I'll have to do some testing.

My question now - what's in the userdata.img? Are there apps in there that I am now missing since I upgraded this way?
[Nexus 7 General] Alta1r:
I think userdata.img is just a (blank?) data partition. Don't think any app's are in there.
[Nexus 7 General] oldblue910:
Anyone get the nakasig OTA update yet for the 2012 N7 3G?
[Nexus 7 General] brizey:
So I'm guessing that there is no need to flash the bootloader if you are already on 4.23, right?

[Nexus 7 General] jb0ne:
I was already on 4.23 from JWR66Y, and I noticed the file sizes are different - this 4.23 is larger. So I think you probably should. Also seen quite a bit of commentary floating around about needing to be using the latest versions of your custom recovery (TWRP 2.6.3.1 for example, not 2.6.3.0) so take care of that first.

It is. And the first post links to them all. And most of us having trouble started with the OTAs, failed, but find this to be relevant place for advice on alternative methods.

just sayin'
[Nexus 7 General] oldblue910:
I know most of you won't care, but in the interest of completeness, I've added two newly discovered tilapia (N7 3G) OTA files to the first post...JOP40C -> JWR66Y and JDQ39B -> JWR66Y (JDQ39B was a shipping firmware that came preinstalled on new devices from about May of this year but was never released over the air to older devices).
[Nexus 7 General] ivwonka:
I had to lock my n7 2012 a few months ago for my work's email. It is a way bummer to be on stock rom with no root or custom recovery but necessary for me. I totally wiped everything and flash image JWR66Y. All has been boring and fine. For some reason, I am not getting the OTA. Hasn't it been released for every region now? Anyway, I thought I would just grab it from here. Thanks for maintaining this resource!

However, for some reason I can't flash it. I've no experience with stock recovery but I thought I could rename the file 'update.zip' and boot into bootloader and it would flash itself. That is how an HTC device would work. If I toggle into recovery, it just says "no command".

Anyone know why I'm not getting the OTA? (I keep manually checking in settings but it still says it's up to date.) Or does anyone know how I can flash the file from op?
[Nexus 7 General] keneth_c:
You are on Nexus 7 (2012) WiFi or 3G? Nakasi or Nakasig?

For WiFi / Nakasi... 4.4 ota zip is available in 1st page of this post. You will have to flash it via custom recovery (CWM or TWRP).

For 3G / nakasig.... The 4.4 ota zip is not available yet. I'm still waiting for it myself :(

--
[Nexus 7 General] oldblue910:
Nope. You can flash it in stock recovery easily. You just select "Install from ADB", then hook the tablet to your computer and do "adb sideload update.zip".
[Nexus 7 General] keneth_c:
That too ;)

I'm not very good with fastboot/adb commands. Sorry!

[Nexus 7 General] ivwonka:
Thanks guys. I didn't want to flash stock image but I ended up having to do it. I guess Airwatch that encrypts the device must have been preventing the OTA. It is totally locked, unrooted, stock. I couldn't fastboot flash because of locked bootloader. So I unlocked it, flashed, and relocked it but then it wouldn't boot. Maybe due to encryption? So then I reluctantly flashed stock image and lost all data. I hate Airwatch and device encryption.
[Nexus 7 General] jma9454:

Do these otas have transparent notification bar, OK Google and auto rotate and location settings working?
[Nexus 7 General] oldblue910:
Transparent notification/softkey bars are app dependent. The app has to request them. OK Google is part of the Google Experience Launcher, which is not included in any Nexus OTA. That launcher is exclusive to the Nexus 5 for now, but it'll most likely be available in the Play Store down the road. That Google Experience Launcher is also what requests the transparent notification/softkey bars on the homescreen, so that won't be there either. Auto rotate and location settings are fine.

If you want the Google Experience launcher, though, you can sideload the APK.
[Nexus 7 General] masterleron:

[Nexus 7 General] waxlabo:
I sideloaded KRT16O and immediately got OTA for KRT16S. Everytime I boot up the tablet however I have a short glitch of 4 green androids for a split second before the boot animation starts. Anyone else experiencing boot animation glitch?
[Nexus 7 General] gsmyth:
Yea, seen some other people mention it too, I get a flash of a pink screen. I changed boot animation to a previous one but its still there.
[Nexus 7 General] waxlabo:
anyone know how to fix the boot animation glitch?
[Nexus 7 General] fozzie:
The build is the same size as the previous build - 353Mb.

If you're referring to the OTA, they're always smaller as they just patch or replace a subset of files on the device. The last OTA was 1.4Mb.

Yes, it's an OTA so is designed to be flashed over the previous (official) version.

OK here's what you need to do.

1. Enable developer settings (if you haven't already) by going to Settings | About Tablet and repeatedly tapping on the build number until it tells you "You're now a developer".

2. Go into Settings | Developer Options

3. Turn on developer options.

4. Tap "Send Bug Report"

5. It'll take a little while, but once that bug report is sent, it'll email it to whatever gmail address is attached to your google account.

Yep, that's a big difference to what you posted before. You can now see what the error is whereas you couldn't before.

To fix this:

Symliks and permissions...

set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed

you can do one of two things:

1. Unroot before flashing the OTA (e.g. using the option in SuperSU), or

2. Go into recovery, mount system, connected the device to your PC and from CMD:

adb shell

cd /system/xbin/

chattr -i daemonsu

rm daemonsu

cd /system/bin/.ext/

chattr -i .su

rm .su

(or indeed any other way to 'chattr -i' those two files in order to delete them e.g. terminal commands & file manager from recovery).

Obviously you'll need to re-flash SuperSU after the update.
[Nexus 7 General] nossitron:
specimle Useless

Unrooting with SuperSU is not possible cause the device doesn't boot anymore.

It shows only the new boot-animation. Waited for nearly 15 minutes.

2nd solution:

Connection succeeded, but there's no xbin-Folder, but an EMPTY /system/bin

chattr -i daemonsu throws the following error:

chattr: stat daemonsu: no such file or directory
[Nexus 7 General] fozzie:
You need to mount /system when in recovery. It's not mounted by default (at least with TWRP).
[Nexus 7 General] nossitron:
ingbiz accorded

can you tell me how to mount?

i mounted the device with this command:

mtpfs -o allow_other /mnt/nexus7
[Nexus 7 General] fozzie:
Just tick the box next to system, in recovery!
[Nexus 7 General] nossitron:
Ah okay.

Never used this command before.

Could delete .su, but i could not find/delete a file named daemonsu.

after that i tryed again to flash the zip-file. Same result as before. :rolleyes:
[Nexus 7 General] osm0sis:
CWM 6.0.3.6 might be too old, use the latest (6.0.4.5 at the moment). Flash the latest SuperSU zip (1.75) to undo any file locking an older version may have done, then flash the OTA then flash SuperSU again to retain root.
[Nexus 7 General] nossitron:
That's it.

Thank you very much.

Anyone has a copy of the original debuggerd file from JWR66Y. please help to upload here.

Thanks alot for the help, while waiting for the reply. I went ahead to do a traditional route.

1)that is flashing system.img, boot.img and recovery.img to force the system back to stock with fastboot command.

2) , fastboot boot CWMRecovery image, once on custom recovery, first load the OTA zip package then follow SuperSU.zip

I have been using this old school step to BOOT custom recovery temporarily without permanently flashing it is very useful and with no trouble.

[Nexus 7 General] hunnymonster:
As long as you don't use the -w option when flashing and you don't flash userdata.img it won't wipe it... But if you're going to the bother of doing that you might as well flash the whole thing from the factory image (but not the userdata partition)

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-4.23.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (is this necessary also? I suppose I could just install a custom recovery later?)

Also, I noticed that the included "flash-all.bat" has a line "fastboot erase userdata". Would that line actually erase all my apps?

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 General] gsmyth:
Yep do them separately without the flash all as that will wipe your apps/data. I've never flashed a custom recovery in fast boot but it should work. You could always leave it and check and flash it if stock recovery gets installed.

2 things are very wrong here: You're running a modified TWRP built for grouper so it thinks that's what your device is, and, multi-ROM doesn't equal stock, even if stock ROM is on one part of it. You can only flash an OTA over pure stock.
