Once I get to the "red exclamation" it shows "no command", if I hold power then up it reboots into what I understand is APX mode (APX device shows up in device manager)? If I hold power then down it reboots back into recovery mode. I'm new to the Nexus 7/Android, the device is stock with 4.2.1.

[Nexus 7 General] johnstinks:
hi all

when i flash the zip file to upgrade to 4.2.2 i've got error7

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

i've tried to put the original file from the factory image but no working the permission i've set is rw-r-r what is wrong ?

my bootloader is on the 4.13 version

and using TWRP

tanks all :)

EDIT: i've found a tool to extract the file from factory image and chmod 755 and is okay
[Nexus 7 General] nextelbuddy:
ok so this is a weird one.

i am stock 4.2.1, rooted, stock recovery and had Beats audio installer from the play store installed and that was it.

i found the script from the beats audio thread that removes the files and then i uninstalled.

then I unrooted, copied the new ZIP ffile over to my internal SD card and temp booted into TWRP and flashed it.

it came back and said assertion error

and the file it failed on is:

/system/lib/SR_AudioIn.SO

i was missing this file (not sure why)

went to my Nexus 4 and found that file and copied it into dropbox and then coped it into my system folder and set the proper permissions on it and rebooted.

tried to flash again and iot keeps failing on this file even though it is present and set properly.

is it possible this file is different for the N4 than the N7 and i need the N7 specific one?
[Nexus 7 General] dalanik:
I'm getting assert failed on /system/app/CalendarGoogle.apk.... any clues what to do?
[Nexus 7 General] nextelbuddy:
supposedly if it assert fails that means either its missing or its damaged/modified.

you would want to use Root Explorer if you are rooted and browse out to /system/app and see if it exists and if not then replace it, set permissions and reboot and try again to flash.
[Nexus 7 General] dalanik:
It exists. But how to get that specific APK? Download whole ROM and extract somehow? And where? :)
[Nexus 7 General] nextelbuddy:
if yours exists then i guess you are in the same boat as me where mine says another file doesn't pass yet it exists.

im waiting to find out what to do on that one as well.

if you have the entire stock rom then you would extract the contents of that rom and then extract just the file and push it to your device either with ADB or root explorer copy/paste.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henrikpw:
Today i decided to finally update to 4.2.1 and there after 4.2.2, but when i tried to update with OTA, it stopped 1/3 into the updateting process. Then showed a red exclamation thingy. I tried several times, but all with the same result.

Then i tried to update manually to 4.2 with adb sideload, but that did not work. It stopped after displaying "Verifying system" and then it displayed the following:

assert failed: apply_patch_check("EMMC:/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/LNX:5013504:c48f8e86c73fb2c2ba1794f5ec98e27c9e206ed5:5060608:319331fae14fec8a88063751475fce26bae328e0")

Installation aborted

I am sure if have done anything right, but still can't make it work. The device is completely stock. Please help me D:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
You didn't mention the starting condition of the tablet, and that is incredibly important information.

Additionally, you didn't really say whether the first upgrade succeeded. Please be specific and detailed.

The OTAs are patching kits - not full replacements - and thus they:

- must each be applied to a SPECIFIC starting condition, and

- can not be "skipped over"; they need to be performed in sequence.

You should be able to avoid OTAs altogether and flash a full factory image (at least up to JOP40D/4.2.1), but only if you are willing to wipe away all your data (factory reset)

So, say what your current version is - use the "J" release version (e.g. JOP40D, etc) , don't say four-point-whatever.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henrikpw:
I am running Build JZO54K and tried to update OTA to JOP40D. All of my attempts of updating have failed. Both OTA and manual.

What do you mean by starting condition?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Groid:
It would help to know if you have a wi-fi only model or 3g. They take different update files. You have to have the update specific to your model (wi-fi v. 3g). The amount of memory doesn't matter.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henrikpw:
It is a 32gb wifi
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Thanks, much better info.

Exactly what you stated above - thanks. In your OP, it wasn't clear whether it was the first OTA or the second OTA that was failing.

The assert fail message you provided revolves around the boot image (LNX partition). It implies a modified boot partition ... but I believe you when you say unmodified stock. (A different user reported a similar case a few days ago, but with a different stock ROM installed... and therefore a different OTA file)

Is it correct to assume this failure occurs when attempting to apply the JZO54K -> JOP40D OTA update?

Let me poke around a little bit, I will respond back. You may have to do a full factory flash - in the meantime have a look at the Carbon app video on Koush's (ClockworkMod) site to see if you are comfortable with doing that process.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henrikpw:
Yes.

I do not want to do anything that voids my warrenty :(
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Well, if you consider unlocking your bootloader, installing stock software, and then re-locking your bootloader to be a warranty-voiding situation, then there is really only one path available to you: back up all your market apps & data using Carbon, install the (full) factory software**, perform the 4.2.2 OTA, and then restore apps & data with Carbon.

**actually, I'm not completely sure if the factory (full-install) software bundle requires bootloader unlocking or not - I suspect that it might require an unlocked bootloader.

If you have never been through any of this before, I can see that it appears intimidating, esp. because of the number of newbs showing up every day asking "did I just brick my device?"

But using custom recoveries - even temporarily - provides some flexibility even when you want to run pure stock.

For instance, in your case, I believe that boot image check is the very last thing which is checked in your OTA prior to starting. That suggests that removing that check - AND the corresponding boot image patching - would allow everything else in the OTA patch to succeed; after that the complete boot.img file from the JOP40D distro could be manually flashed; and from there you would no doubt be able to proceed to an additional OTA install to get to 4.2.2

But because a modified/re-zipped OTA bundle could not be flashed by the stock recovery due to lack of signing, this flashing would have to be performed by a custom recovery (that has signature checking supressed).

Lastly, I will say this - I doubt that Google made a mistake with their assert() checks in their OTA update package. That suggests that either

- your boot image actually did get mysteriously modified somehow, or

- your device developed a media flaw in it's boot partition, so the checksum validation fails because of this problem.

In the latter instance, that portends a small risk involving future flashing or booting from that partition.

Well, this post has gotten long; maybe you should say something about what risks you *are* willing to take...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henrikpw:
Here are some people who have the same problem: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=41819
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
That's a lot of reports.

The thing that strikes me about this is that the check which fails (boot partition) is the very last item checked before the patching begins. In the case of folks trying the patch manually, it is hard to believe they simply picked the wrong OTA file (corresponding to the wrong release version) - because in that case a whole bunch of files would be mismatched: they would get a very early error in the list of things checked.

It's almost as if a bunch of units escaped Asus with a variation in the boot image.

There might be something more subtle going on too - here's someone on xda who reported the very same syndrome, but was trying to update a completely different OTA - the starting point was JRO03S

Well, as I said, the problem can be overcome manually. But you would probably need to unlock the bootloader, even if you planned on staying with a full stock setup.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkshado:
What you ladies and gents are staring at is a wake lock. In this case, due to the MediaScannerService.

There are a few different causes, one being some corrupt image, sound or video file somewhere on your SD card.

Solutions range from killing the service to finding the troublesome files and deleting them.

Good luck,

Need some help with the "AdamOutlerUbuntuTotalReFlash" method. I am missing or overlooking something but, can't figure out what. I have installed the Ubuntu 12.0.4 on an older laptop in an effort to 1) learn but 2) mostly to restore my 16GB NT. Currently the Nook will only boot to CWM. I have tried a few different methods and images but, can't seem to get anything to load. Do I need to repartition and can anyony help with that, I am at apoint wher maybe I have tried to learn or do to many new things at once and am frustrated and confused. I don"t believ all is lost but could sure use a little more help/direction.

1. Download - extract - rename Adams file

thanks

I would like to say thank you for the help and appreciate the support. I will give this a shot. this evening. a few Questions 1) when renaming the AdamOutlerUbuntuTotalReFlash.tar.gz file do i delete the .tar.gz extensions and replace them with the .img extension? or do i do i leave them so that the extension is now .tar.gz.img ? 2) when powering on the device do I power on with the power button on the NT or use the USB cable and let the device power itself on and does it matter if the device is plugged into the charger or the PC? Any specific instructions or specific utilities for formatting the SD Card?

Thanks Again!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] asawi:
I haven't done this recovery myself, so I really don't know anything about it. I would suggest you to read through that topic and see if the answers are there.

The instructions do say "extract" and THEN "rename"

Some general things I can say though:

When burning an image to sd card the card doesn't need to be formatted before doing it.

To get the NT to boot from sd crad is individual from device to device. Many say they only get theirs to do it by inserting charging cable to power adapter.

The three that have passed through my hands have booted to sd either by themselves when turning on power. If they haven't done so right away I hold down the "n" and that's it.

You should read this post before trying out any "unbricking" method and end up permanently bricking your NT.

it mounts your /sd-ext partition as /data hence internal storage is the size that your /sd-ext is.

also its easier to partition with cwm and keep swap as 0.

[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Deleted member 4398224:
Is it partition SD Card O.K.? If yes, try CWM6 or Amon-RA.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Dark Passenger:
first try installing script without mounting /sd-ext but follow all other steps(mainly mount /system & /data flash script & later unmount /data and format /sd-ext).

If this doesnt work(I seriously doubt it won't still) it means that the /sd-ext partition is corupt(many reasons) so do this flash amon ra and choose fix sd-ext partition the n flash cwm 5 again and format sd-ext partition.

still doesnt work(really still doesnt ?!?!?!) post here the full porblem you face then and if you tried both these solutions.

you can use only one script at a time please remove any other script with app2sd(conflicting script will cause a problem) from init.d and flash again :good: still got a problem post here or in mini forum( i check both).

this script is universal meaning for any device and any rom(cyanogenmod or stock or either based).

no there isn't any performance difference if you switch off journaling for ext4 its superfast(use pimp my rom for switching off journaling of ext4)

but since the /data/data is located in internal memory so you can only install x number of apps whose data can fit in internal memory according to calculations only apps whose(everything else can fit in 512mb of /sd-ext) use 100mb of internal memory.

Its a script(hence no ram usage) s2e is an app(hence uses ram) s2e allows for modification of which parition in /data to move to sd-ext. here it does all it has to do and doesnt mess with you.

but in their own way both are perfect so use which you prefer(I prefer INT2EXT4+).

[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Dark Passenger:
the script moves your dalvik cache to /sd-ext partition(amongs other things but dalvik cache for now) when you run wipe dalvik cache option from recovery(any recovery) they try to wipe the dalvik cache location on /data partition but the script has moved it to /sd-ext so the recovery tends to wipe the /data/data partition and since this cant be restored/rebuilt at boot your device basically cant load Android/the rom.
