[Windows RT Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
The 14GB of the Surface RT install footprint includes things like a multi-gigabyte recovery partition, so yes, you could definitely fit the OS install on there.

As for the compatibility... that's another question. It's probably possible to get the kernel running, but it depends heavily on how similar the hardware is whether or not the thing would be usable (drivers, etc.). There's also a bunch of platform-specific firmware, the Board Support Package, which would need to be hacked together from a combination of the BSP for the Nexus 7 and a Windows RT device, or in some other way procured. It's possible that an RT device's BSP would be usable on the N7 if it could be extracted and installed there, but I'd be surprised.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Jason_V:
Can you post a link to the USB Recovery image?
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] scaryshark:
Looking at the portal, ERD cotulla has managed to get WinRT running on the HD2! So there definitely is some possibility somewhere

[Windows RT Development and Hacking] dazza9075:
indeed, they also said they had WM6.5 running as an app on WP7 and WM5 for the Alpine, I love the proof of concept, and I think its great the work they do, but we need to remember that not all proof of concepts come to anything.

in short, lets not get our hopes up until they are happy that they have something that is releasable to the public.

the mere fact that they had something working suggests its potentially possible but I suspect the same issues around drivers that we have on our phone devices today will be all the more problematic with a tablet due to variations in hardware design.

Anyone tried to flash this to a Nexus 10/7?
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] ale07:
It won't work, without a lot a lot of work, as Windows RT needs an UEFI boot loader.

JELLY BEAN 4.2 OTA UPDATE FLASHABLE ZIP FOR NEXUS 7​

Hello guys, here I provide a link to a flashable zip that contains the awesome 4.2 update for nexus 7.

flash it from a custom recovery like always.

link: http://android.clients.google.com/p...signed-nakasi-JOP40C-from-JZO54K.094f6629.zip

here is the link for who can't get the ota update from settings menu.

the file is tested! don't flash it if you are on a custom rom, just stock! enjoy

this is the lockscreen screenshot (made with my phone, I can't take screenshots, I have not root access), just to let you see that is works and is pretty nice :)

and here you find a link of a video of the most important features on 4.2 provided by philespo, all credits goes to him :)

link of the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xcnf7mBJqH4&feature=plcp
[Nexus 7 Android Development] shrome99:
I think you should add that it only works over JZO54K, not custom ROMs :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] noottt:
can't wait!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] throcker:
edited op, you're right, thx
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ondoy1943:
Be sure to roll-back any modification(s) to system files else the flashing will bomb. ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tramane:
I flashed the stock rom via TWRP

Booted and then tried flashing this, but I get a build.prop error
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ondoy1943:
Not the fault of TWRP for sure. Did you modify the build.prop file in any way?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] d3m0n1:
I have JZO54K, that is bootloader unlocked, and rooted, with cwm as the recovery. Can I flash this OTA, or it will not end well?

Thanks in advance

d3m0n
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ondoy1943:
Go ahead flash, no problem for as long as you did not modify a system file, e.g., build.prop file, etc. I flashed the file on my nexus 7 that was unlocked, rooted, with TWRP recovery and pristine system files. ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] orphan203:
Worked!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Cor-master:
Alright guys I'm on paranoid android, latest version. How do I get back to stock so I can flash this update?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] throcker:
that's what I did....I used wug's toolkit, flashed stock img, flashed the old bootloader (to access to a custom recovery), and flashed it on top of the stock image...

just for the record, THIS IS AWESOME!!!

EDIT: anyone rooted??
[Nexus 7 Android Development] zSoc:
I have an unlocked rooted JZO54K so it should work, but it isn't.

Clockworkmod recovery says:

Verifying current system

assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/etc/media_profiles.xml" ..........)

E: error in ~.zip, (Status 7)

What is the problem?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] clio94:
Flash went ok but there is some apps problems

Apex launcher crashes,nova launcher cant go into app menu.Default browser that supports flash opens but it freezes.Root ok after flashing supersu cwm file.

I went again in twrp to restore my backup but it cant see the backup folder because mount points were changed.So i flashed again from start blackbean rom and i am ok for now
[Nexus 7 Android Development] farshad.shirzadii:
I have same problem???
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ondoy1943:
The failure means that the file media_profiles.xml in your system is no longer the original file in the stock firmware. Obvously you have applied the patch to implement the 720p video recording. Revert to the original xml file to rectify the error. ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] farshad.shirzadii:
How??
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Spiderman313:
What if I'm all stock? Do I put it on the root of my device and rename it?

[Nexus 7 Android Development] shrome99:
Such behaviour is normal even after flashing a ROM. Should go back to normal after one or two charge cycles.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] sadde:
i keep gettin "assert failed: apply_patch_check (/system/app/applicationsprivoder.apk) , Error in the zip file that u guys provided.

when trying to flash from recovery. Im on Eclipse rom

any advice how to update to 4.2? thanks
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Wakawaka024:
Flash to stock first it won't work if your build prop is edited

I had to go from paranoid to stock to this ,use ota root saver and you won't even lose root.everything seems nice so far
[Nexus 7 Android Development] muffnman:
I was able to overcome the problem with two steps.

(note: I had been using franco's kernel as well as also having modified the N7 with the stock browser so that I could enable flash on websites)

Some of you may have done one or the other and had been in a similar scenario.

Simply revert the steps:

1. flash back to stock kernel

2. re-enable browserproxy.apk and browserproxy.odex

Any questions hit me up on twitter @muffnman
[Nexus 7 Android Development] sadde:
Could u please tell me where to download the stock kernel , are u talking about CWM kernel or the actual stock stock kernel?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] JFMFT:
I'm having a unique issue. I flashed back to the 3.41 bootloader (newest), managed to keep root and custom recovery, and downloaded the .zip you can use with a custom recovery to upgrade right from a stock rooted device. I had a few .apk errors which I corrected (a symptom of me loading the AOSP browser). Now that that issue is resolved, I'm getting this, which I've never seen before anywhere:

"assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/vendor/lib/hw/power.grouper.so"

Any thoughts? I've flashed the 3.41 bootloader, but I do have root and a custom recovery installed.

Update to 4.2

I downloaded file prom fist post,

and I install with ADB command from PC

after rebot my version of nexus is:

kernel version: 3.1.10-g22b4fcd (2 november 2012 time 10:55:26)

Android version: 4.2

build: JOP40C
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Metallice:
The tegra kernel source has not been updated for 4.2. The latest is MR1-fr which added support for the new 3G nexus 7s for 4.1.

This has been available for a week or two already. My kernel has been based on it for a while now. I doubt it is the final build for 4.2. Unless nothing has changed since then. Although I doubt that.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] chowlala:
This whole "assert failed: apply_patch_check APKNAME.apk" is seriously pretty damn annoying.

I have the stock launcher deleted, Google Earth deleted, Maps modified for global navigation. And amongst probably a few more things.

I can't even restore to a previous version due to the patch check.

A full wipe also doesn't work for some reason (I still get the same errors).

So... what other solutions do we have?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] akhan47:
Good to know I'm not alone... bugging me too. Uninstalled maps and tried again but it still says check maps.apk
[Nexus 7 Android Development] chowlala:
Yeah, I'm not too sure how it does the checks. I tried reinstalling Google Earth and moving back into /system/app/ but it doesn't work either. Still get the error when patch checking GoogleEarth.apk

This is driving me mad. :p

4.2 up & running ok.

Reverted to stock from latest Paranoid Android.

Applied update thru sideload as per Android Police post, all ok.

Flashed CWM Touch 6.0.1.0 and took a nandroid - it appears as though the filesystem layout has changed - the CWM directory is actually located at /mnt/shell/emulated rather than /sdcard.

Rooted thru CWM-SuperSU-v0.89.zip in the standard manner, again all ok.

You can always try flashing factory image of either 4.1.2 to return it completely stock then flash 4.2 OTA zip, or 4.2 factory image directly.

I used this method back then when I could not install 4.1.2 ota zip because I modified Gmail on my 4.1.1.

So I flashed 4.1.1 factory image first, then sideload 4.1.2 ota zip file.

AOSP just updated with 4.2 so I guess we'll start seeing builds here soon. The new features don't really excite me on my Galaxy Nexus but I think they'd definitely come in handy on the N7. I wonder how long Tablet Mode will take to get working? I guess I better get used to the phablet mode that Google is pushing.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] No_Nickname90:
You probably already have the answer, but the Nexus 7 can take screenshots, stock wise. I think it's Power and Volume down. It's a combination of power and a volume key. =.P

In other words, no root access "should" be needed for screenshots.

Got it working by using the adb sideload method,now trying to get root back
[Nexus 7 Android Development] gr8hairy1:
TWRP was the problem for me.

This was all done using wug's toolkit.

(in between these flashes I rooted to be able to use ota root keeper to keep root in 4.2)

I went from smoothrom back to stock 4.1.2. But ota wouldn't show an update. Adb side load using stock recovery also wouldn't work. Flashed twrp and it gave build prop errors.

Flashed 4.1.1 stock and ota still wouldn't work. Adb side load using stock recovery still wouldn't work. Flashed twrp and it gave build prop errors.

Went back to 4.1.2 stock. Racked my head trying to figure out why it wasn't working. Most people who successfully got 4.2 flashed through CWM. So instead of twrp I flashed CWM 6.0.1.0.

Flashed 4.2 through CWM no problem! CWM 6.0.1.0 even saved recovery from being wiped and kept root for me.

Apparently twrp from wug's toolkit can't flash 4.2 (at least on my tablet).

For anyone wanting it, I got CWM 6.0.1.0 from this thread
