I have had the update since early this morning, woke up to the notification. USA here.
[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
Can you post the download URL, or upload a copy of the zip?
[Nexus 7 General] fitzman49:
Here you go.

Ota received on my Nexus 7, here is the link of the update. Have fun :)

[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
THANK YOU!

Unfortunately, I just realized that this probably won't work on my N73G, since it uses a slightly different ROM. Anyone get their update on the 3G model yet?
[Nexus 7 General] celawi:
Just got the update, says 4.2 and 1.1MB. Does this mess up root again, don't have my computer for a few days so i don't want to be without OTG (again xD)?
[Nexus 7 General] rmagruder:
Thank you very much for posting this. Downloaded and applied to my unrooted N7 with adb sideload. It updated successfully. :)
[Nexus 7 General] jocke_lulle:
For those of you who got the update, what can you say about it? Are any of the bugs present in 4.2 taken care of?

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
Yes it will. All OTA updates (that I've seen) do this because they reset file permissions in /system, removing suid flags on executables:

set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/system");

However, an app like RootKeeper should probably work. Otherwise, you can open up the zip, and add a line to restore suid root access on your su binary.
[Nexus 7 General] andrew2511:
Yes, on mine it messed up root so you have to flash again the supersu package for the root :)

Anyone updated to 4.2.1 please check if android restart then keyboard ctrl-space layout change bug is fixed!!!! Thank you.
[Nexus 7 General] rmagruder:
Well, I checked for December in the People app. That's fixed.

What is the "ctrl-space layout change bug"?
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
Yeehaw!

The problems with 4.2 seem to be corrected by just doing a factory reset. Outside of bluetooth and this december "bug", I haven't experienced any speed differences since 4.1.2.

I also would have accepted, "Try smearing more butter on it".
[Nexus 7 General] dilldoe:
could someone upload the stock 4.2 build.prop, can't update even after changing my changes
[Nexus 7 General] nullzorz:
In the U.S., just got OTA update notification!
[Nexus 7 General] tptp:
If you use rootkeeper to preserve root, will you still be able to get OTA updates in the future? Im not sure how it works but it doesn't mess with the actual system does it? Cheers
[Nexus 7 General] robyr:
Bluetooth is still HORRIBLY broken. This is a farking disgrace.
[Nexus 7 General] Erroneus:
I have the latest Clockworkmod touch installed (v 6.0.1.9) and it warned me that I would loose root and recovery after I flashed the 4.2.1 update and pressed reboot in the menu. It asked if I wanted to have it fixed, off course I choose yes, didn't loose root or recovery.
[Nexus 7 General] hazzamon:
Just got the OTA notification come through. (UK)
[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
It keeps a backup of root access in a place the update usually doesn't mess with. As long as it doesn't modify/remove any files that the updater is checking for (which it doesn't), then it won't cause any issues.

;(

Yeah, the new version of CWM has a nice feature for that. Since recovery is basically a mini AIO OS that can mount and modify /system, you could restore it manually through that as well (assuming you didn't reboot and lose custom recovery after the update).
[Nexus 7 General] ingenious247:
Update did not address the horrible banding on gradients. Very disappointed. Might just roll back to 4.1.2 since they are taking their damn time on this
[Nexus 7 General] DeadlyDazza:
UK, updated via OTA to 4.2.1.

Have OTA Root keeper.

Can confirm that CWM requested to keep root & still have SU.

Update process took all of 3 minutes.
[Nexus 7 General] Johnassel:
Anyone managed flashing the update with TWRP 2.3.2.1? Getting "Status 7" error. :confused:
[Nexus 7 General] Omar04:
I think the problem is the image quality that the app and dev chooses to use. because in poor and common apps that uses gradient images I notice the banding but in optimized apps and high quality images not problem.
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
Poor gradients? Man the screen is fine always has been. People are way too picky
[Nexus 7 General] eak1080:
get the same thing here.. thinking about flashing CWM, the zip and then re-flashing twrp
[Nexus 7 General] Rolandh:
I've just read the change log that was posted in an Android Central article that Gamepads & Joystick support as been added to HID devices, does that mean that we no longer need root to use gamepads to play games?

Roland
[Nexus 7 General] bubbleguuum:
Yes but you will be able to say happy birthday to your friends in December.

That is way more important than bluetooth. At least if we are to believe arstechnica, androidcentral, and other outlets of fine journalism.
[Nexus 7 General] Johnassel:
Hmmm, just tried it with CWM and got the same message?
[Nexus 7 General] ingenious247:
Okay then explain why Google has already acknowledged the issue and its documented. Not only that but images that look great on 4.1.2 look like **** on 4.2

You're an idiot. Go to settings and set a notification tone. When the dialog box pops up check out the ugly ass blocky artifacts. Sorry you're blind..
[Nexus 7 General] robyr:
Thats the most annoying part. The morons in our own community thought it better use of their reach and time to nitpick about farking birthdays in the contacts app as opposed to actual mission-critical systems failing to work.

The N7 is Google's premier media device, and with this part broken, it is useless to me and many others. I am just going to sell it at this point, this is pure BS and I will not stand for it by continuing to use and recommend this device, nor any other Nexus device when they wont even listen to their customers and users. Its pissing a LOT of people off.

[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
Any 3G models get the update yet? If so, please post the URL. Thanks.
[Nexus 7 General] bangishotyou:
It didn't for me. I clicked on "Download and Install" which it did (I received the update OTA) and then it asked me if I would like to reboot. I said yes. At which point it loaded into CWM Touch Recovery and I was presented with a few questions. Namely, this will restore stock recovery, do you want to skip this? (I obviously clicked "yes".) It then said this will mess up root, do you want to fix the su etc? (Again, I obviously clicked "yes".)

It finished doing it's thing, at which point I was given the option to reboot the system now. I did so. Booted up fine, checked to make sure I was on 4.2.1 (which I was) and then checked to make sure SuperSu was still there and functioning correctly (it was/is).

So it didn't mess with anything on my N7, of course YMMV. Just wanted to let people know what I saw/happened to me though.
[Nexus 7 General] CrazyPeter:
Anyone that visits those rags are the people responsible. Google have to pander to what the MEDIA deem to be the imporant issues. Copy and Paste churnelism means that a single site has to post a pathetic attention grabbing story, and before you know it, seventy other sites are also reporting the same copy and pasted "news".

Go elsewhere, hit them where it hurts. I stopped visiting Android Police because of their crap sensationalist bull****.
[Nexus 7 General] styckx:
Ugh... So this update is actually just a hotfix for an issue no one with more than two brain cells actually gives a single ____ about? 4.1.2 stays then.

When did Googles software division get bought out by Samsung? Must be the same geniuses who removed the "Exact Size" search parameters from Google image search then ignored the flurry of complaints about the removal of it.
[Nexus 7 General] robyr:
I just ripped Android Police a new one over Google+, so I am getting a kick out of your reply ;)

This is pretty much the truth. I also implore ALL OF YOU to email Matthew Xie, the developer assigned to the bluetooth bugs, at mattx@google.com and ask for information and make it clear that the failure of his team to provide a solution is devaluing not only your experience and the device it self, but your respect for Google's development strategies.
[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
I know it's always fun to rant about things, but has anyone actually spent the time to LOOK at what this update actually....updates?

I'm not talking about the subjective crap of "my system feels faster" or "I don't like it". I mean opening up the zip file to see what files are being patched? Because then you would actually see what this update is modifying.

This is NOT just a December patch. There are almost 200 files which are being modified in someway. Everything from the calendar app, to bluetooth to a hundred plus other apks and odex files.

Now, I'm not saying that this is going to fix everyone's problems. I haven't even installed it since they haven't released it for the 3G model yet, so I have no idea (objectively or subjectively) what kind of difference it makes. But let's not start spreading false information about how limited this update is without first knowing what we're talking about.
[Nexus 7 General] adamantell:
1.1mb..... Is it really worth it :) can't do it anyway, battery charging wio
[Nexus 7 General] pdubcramp:
I got my OTA, tried to install and got an Error. I'm rooted with stock everything else. :confused: Maybe something to do with using rootkeeper.
[Nexus 7 General] aLPaSLaN07:
I'm on custom rom and kernel , I still got the update (1.1MB).. Should I install it?

I probably will install it before someone answers me not to because I'm a..... Never mind, just look at my sig
[Nexus 7 General] robyr:
I did, actually, yes. I am a systems engineer for a bank, this is what I do.

If you read the changelog, M. Xie basically just shot guesswork and trial and error BS in to a production release. THAT is NOT development. They can push a whole ton of changes and it could be 500MB, but if what the development team does doesn't even marginally fix the issues, it doesn't really matter, does it?
[Nexus 7 General] kRt_uK:
Same here with n73g stock nakasig rooted.
[Nexus 7 General] aLPaSLaN07:
I chose to install it , it rebooted and got into TWRP and stayed there.. I rebooted , nothing changed.. It still says 4.2..
[Nexus 7 General] bubbleguuum:
What about Google publishing an exhaustive list of all issues fixed instead of letting everyone guess ? Or is it too embarrassing ?
[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
Rootkeeper has nothing to do with it. What error did you get? Only by letting us know will anyone be able to offer advice.

No, because it won't install on a custom ROM. It will just error out during the checksum validation phase.

What is the URL of this changelog?

Assuming what you say is correct, and I am not saying it isn't, that is a very valid point. However, as I stated in my earlier post, my issue was with people just assuming the only thing this update was for was December.

Why would you try to install a nagasi update on a nagasig device? Of course it won't work.

Told you so.
[Nexus 7 General] robyr:
In fairness, Google does release a changelog. Unfortunately for them, it makes their A-Class development staff seem like lost school kids. They literally submit things like "changed some stuff" as development/commit comments. What in the actual fark?
[Nexus 7 General] PTzero:
Did you get an OTA update or were you trying to manually update? If OTA, can you post the link to the update file for Nexus 7 3G?

Just downloaded. UK. Un rooted.

Not sure about battery but it seems to have its snap back and a lot less sluggish. The lock screen thing is STILL a thing. Can't tell about battery yet but it seems to be the same.
[Nexus 7 General] Alucard291:
Yup battery still seems the same.

Major bugs still there *sigh*

So how do I revert to 4.1.2 then? (Oh don't mind me I'll google it myself)
[Nexus 7 General] sahshah:
Updated to 4.2.1. Earlier on 4.2 had that annoying bug where therer used to be lag between when I click unlock button and locksreen appearing, its gone now :) Dont care about December glad this bug is gone was pretty annoying
[Nexus 7 General] mk69:
Updated with the zip file posted above using cwm, and said yes to the 2 questions after picking the option of reboot to system... root and recovery still intact....

4.2.1 seems a bit snappier, noticed now that it put in two alarm times in the clock app... 830am mtwtf, and 900am for the weekends....
[Nexus 7 General] sahshah:

[Nexus 7 General] sgtpepper64:
I knew it would be coming soon! There's no way they would have left the nexus 7 in the dark. I am still waiting for it on my device. After the warnings not to clear data on the Google services process that I saw on here, I'll just be patient. (That's how I got 4.2 in the first place and I'm not having any problems that nobody else is having however.)
[Nexus 7 General] BTr_RJ:
Updated here, i forgot to use keep root and lost root... is it safe to use NEXUS ROOT TOOLKIT 1.5.5 to get root again?

i also made said stupid mistake... :eek:
[Nexus 7 General] dannysmith43:
I'm still rockin 4.1 because of the bluetooth issues, it's the main thing of me.

Are they resolved in 4.2.1 confirmed?

Probably, but you should learn to do simple things like that manually.

[Nexus 7 General] blah_blah_blah_blah:
Bluetooth is working fine for me now (:
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
I think you have a mixed bag there

If your peripheral is compatible with the Broadcom Bluetooth stack, it will probably work fine.

Some devices have been reported working fine with 4.2.

If it requires the BlueZ Bluetooth stack it probably won't. That is gone, probably for good.
[Nexus 7 General] BTr_RJ:
Lacks of habit.... i just rooted my N7 yesterday.
[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
Thanks for the detailed info. Can you provide some more clarification on the differences between the two stacks, and what devices are likely to use one versus the other?

And since you lost root today, now is the perfect opportunity to learn :D.
[Nexus 7 General] robyr:
It has nothing to do with the type of stack. I use BlueZ on my Ubuntu laptop and the peripherals I'm having issues with on my Nexus are not witnessed. Stop blowing smoke up our asses, if you have no idea what you are talking about, don't talk.

Googles developers have done a piss poor job working with BlueZ, an incredibly well documented open source staple, if you believe that tripe.

---------- Post added at 06:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 PM ----------

Also the device doesn't have to support a stack, the stack supporters the standard, and provides an API to access the lower level HAL. Its a wholly device independent situation.
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
Here is a good writeup on the profiles that BlueZ supports:

http://www.bluez.org/profiles/

Here is the Broadcom FAQ on their Bluetooth stack.

http://www.broadcom.com/support/bluetooth/faq.php

Broadcom is a better standard-conforming implementation - but that is not much comfort to people whose peripherals need BlueZ.

Broadcom is very active in the Bluetooth Standards field.

I got it fixed now. Just root it using wugs toolkit if you haven't already, and then use goomanager to flash the recovery of your choice. still weird though...I thought there was a stock recovery or is there not?
[Nexus 7 General] JavaJunkay:
Well I flashed no problems at all, in CWM not stock recovery however. My Android Beam is no longer working. I can't tell about battery and other stuff since I just flashed it, 45 minutes ago. If Google just put December back in, they could have just updated that People app through Play Store not release a separate update for Android. So I am hoping for a better battery life.

Same here. Usually with stock recovery you can push volume up and volume down to get the menu, but that isn't working for me.

Edit: got to the stock recovery menu with power + volume up(i believe :) )
[Nexus 7 General] iElvis:
Showed up on its own.

Had SuperSU in survival mode.

Installed via TWRP 2.3.2.1 no issues.

[Nexus 7 General] kRt_uK:
Mine too... how can I do the update with the link?
[Nexus 7 General] PTzero:
You'll need adb on your machine. Here are the steps:

- Reboot into bootloader. adb reboot bootloader

- Use the volume buttons to scroll to Recovery and press the power button to select

- When the green Android with red exclamation point comes up, simultaneously press power and volume up and a menu should pop up.

- Select apply update from adb

- Connect to your PC. On the PC type "adb sideload <name of update file>"

- Allow process to complete and restart
[Nexus 7 General] yogi2010:
i've tried this in stock and CWM, but my computer doesn't seem to recognize the 'adb sideload' command, it just gives me the full list of adb commands. could it be that i need to update my adb binary?
[Nexus 7 General] Spierbal:
I got exactly the same error as you when I flashed the OTA zip from this very thread, it was checking for Tilapia, and the funny thing is although I am rooted and unlocked, but everything else is stock, I didn't alter any system apps or add custom kernel and also flashing the file in CWM or TWRP made no difference.

It didn't make sense until I saw this post by oldblue910, I guess this will likely happen until we get a recovery adapted for tilapia.
[Nexus 7 General] PTzero:
Yeah, you probably need to get an updated version of adb.

Here's a link to the updated binaries from Android Central:

Here you go:

http://core.routed.com/CUSTOM_RECOVERY-65880f56b1c0.signed-nakasig-JOP40D-from-JOP40C.65880f56.zip

Install that zip. I removed the assert that was breaking.

For anyone else who has:

1) A Nexus 7 3G

with

2) A custom recovery installed

the default OTA update zip will fail, due to the recovery being designed for grouper and not talipia. I have taken the liberty of modifying the updater-script and removed the problematic assert. It will no longer check to make sure your recovery image is stock N73G. Everything else is as-is from the standard Google OTA update.

Enjoy.
