[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezas:
Most sound mods install patched files. You don't say how you removed it. But if any files were left behind then you will not be able to install the update.

I know with KingBeatz the only way to truly restore is to reflash the ROM you are on.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] konwaikong:
let me share how to update ota ^^

Remove google patch.

Use super su. Unroot your nexus .

Then use twrp recovery.

Go to cache select the 4.2.2 ota update.

Unmark all verification and flash the 4.2.2 update zip.

Flash cwm-supersu-v0.99.zip to root back your nexus 7.

Reboot and download super su at google play.

Poof!! 4.2.2 rooted nexus 7 without wipe anything
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] konwaikong:
the 4.2.2 zip OTA name

6ece895ecb23.signed-nakasi-JDQ39-from-JOP40D.6ece895e.zip (it is inside root/cache file.)

Or you can use nexus manager in google play to download the OTA update.

Hey guys...I have a question: since I'm stuck on 4.2.1 and can't update I don't mind... but my nexus 7 keeps downloading the update everytime even though I know its useless....how do I disable the auto update?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magno:
Hello mmystere68

Why don´t just just perform the easy steps indicated previously to update yo 4.2.2 . Took me 30 minutes. That way you won´t have to bother about disabling updates

Hey guys even im a newbie... A couple of months back i did the camera mod(the one which was for enabling hd recording on nexus 7) without saving a backup of the original system file.After a system update 4.2 update something went wrong n ever since then whenever i switch to recording mode the camera app crashes. I can now only take pictures n not video.

A couple of weeks back i received the system update for 4.2.2 n when installing even i got an error. Im not sure but could it be because of the camera files thats missing that s is causing the problem? Guys it would be nice if anyone could provide me a copy of an original camera files.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shonangreg:
It is happening to me too. I have a rooted Nexus 7 with stock ROM and an unlocked bootloader. If I have OTArootkeeper temporarily unroot my tablet, it makes no difference.

Every three or four days, I get a notice that the 4.2.2 update is available. I tell it to go ahead and update. The tablet reboots with an image of the android character with his chest open. Fine. The status bar moves across from left to right, then after 15 seconds or so, it slows, then I get the image of the android with the aforementioned red exclamation point in his chest. I then have to hold the power button down till it reboots.

FWIW, I have not deleted or altered any system files other than whatever happened during rooting, recovery image installation, and updates.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
You can either revert to pure stock to solve the problem, or you can can spend a few minutes running down the actual error message, which can be found in

/cache/recovery/recovery.log

during the normal OS boot immediately following the failed OTA update. (This file gets over-written every time you boot any recovery, so the error message you are looking for will only be found during the OS boot immediately following the OTA failure, not at an arbitrary time later.)

Read through this thread again - there is not a single cause of problems of this nature, so nobody can give you a generic solution; you need to provide the exact error message that occurred, or start over with a different ROM. (e.g. just dirty-flash the new factory system.img over the top of your existing ROM using fastboot)

You may not remember explicitly diddling with any files, but it is possible that a root-privileged app you installed did so. (I understand that even TiBu can do this as a side-effect depending on how it is used - things like "system app freezing").

Make a Nandroid backup before you do anything else, btw.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shonangreg:
Thank you, bftb0.

I just had a notification for the update, so I let it run. It had the same error as usual, and it rebooted by itself. After the reboot, I used ES Explorer to check /cache. It was empty. I looked at the options, and "show hidden files" was checked. Then I just did a search of ".." from ES Explorer for "recovery.log", but nothing was found. Is there anything else I should check before I go through another reboot?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
/cache by default has permissions that prevent non-root users from looking in there. ( mode 770, owner: system, group: cache)

If you are rooted, you need to turn on the root aware capability of ES File Manager (Menu->Settings->Root settings)

(If you were never rooted, I presumed you would have no need to be doing this)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
There's the error.

iirc others have come across this. Search in this forum for debuggerd
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shonangreg:
debuggerd is the problem, the solution is for otakus

Thanks for the reply, bftb0. Unfortunately I can find no detailed walk-through on how to do this. The instructions are either high level, assuming I know the details of how to perform each step, or they're for the Nexus 10 or one of the Windows all-in-one packages. I did flash my N7 by hand, not using one of the cracking script-apps, but I just don't see clearly what to do here, and I think there must be a lot more people in the same boat as me, though no one is mentioning this here . . .
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Apparently this is caused by StickMount - chainfire co-opted debuggerd and so the version installed by StickMount does not match the expected checksum.

If you want to attempt to "patch up" your ROM to try and get the OTA to work, you need to find a copy of the original debuggerd binary and put it back in place, taking care to install the file with the correct ownership and permissions. (BTW there is no guarantee that other files are also wrong/missing, so correcting this one problem does not mean that there will be no other problems with the OTA).

For someone without Linux skills and an awareness of what the "simg2img" tool does, retrieving individual files out of the Google Nexus 7 factory "system.img" image files is impossible. But there are other alternatives, including:

- get the file out of a prior Nandroid backup from before the time you installed StickMount

(You DO make backups, right?)

- Restore only the system partition of a prior nandroid backup (TWRP allows selective partition restores)

- Download the archived factory image from oldblue910's site (find link in the OTA sticky thread) and flash the system image only using fastboot

Note that the last two options are equivalent to the instructions "flash only the stock system partition image corresponding to the same version of the modified stock ROM you have now and then perform the OTA".

Note that there is nothing that is preventing you from avoiding all this nonsense and simply starting over - make TiBu backups, flash the entire stock ROM using fastboot, root the stock ROM, and then restore your TiBu backups.

As it stands, if you succesfully run the OTA you are going to lose root and the custom recovery anyway - the level of effort involved is going to be about the same.

If you have never made a nandroid backup, do it now - before you do anything else.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Groid:
I have the debuggerd.zip file that contains the debuggerd file I used to fix the error for the update. I also have stickmount which was probably why I needed the original file. The .zip is only 12k so I could email it to you or put it in Box or some other cloud service. PM me if you want it emailed. You can unzip it and replace the file in /system/bin. The update should work after that.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shonangreg:
Got it! Yes. Thank you Groid and bftb0. Groid sent me a copy of debuggerd. I renamed the debuggerd that was in system/bin to debuggerd.bak, copied the untainted debuggerd from Groid into system/bin and gave it the same permissions the tainted debuggerd there had had (rwx,rx,rx). I did this all using Solid Explorer (very nice file explorer, btw).

Then I cleared the data from Google Services Framework to force the update:

http://www.droid-life.com/2012/11/13/download-android-4-2-update-for-nexus-7-and-gsm-galaxy-nexus/

Now my Nexus 7 has updated, rebooted, and I have 4.2.2. Root Checker Basic says I have lost root. Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper gave it back to me. Then checking again with Root Checker Basic said my system was running slow. i rebooted again. The N7 said it was updating again, but it just took 30 seconds or so before a normal boot resumed. And now Root Checker Basic quickly says I have root again.

Everything seems to be running fine :)

And bftb0, yes, i have been doing titanium backups, but I only kept them till everything seemed to be running OK. From now on I will store several backups.

Thanks again.

G-)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Nandroid backups too, in addition to TiBu - *especially* of full stock. You can use them to pull stock files out of them if needed, as was the case in this circumstance.

There are more reasons to do this beyond the above. As oldblue910 has said "every device eventually goes back to stock."

I'm sorry to bother you with what seems a clueless newbie question, but when I run Online Nandroid Backup, it works but gives me two error messages:

/boot not found
/recovery not found

I used CWM and adb commands to unlock and get root before, but I did not relock the bootloader, nor have I done anything with CWM since then. Is there something I need to do? Other than this problem with debuggerd being hosed by StickMount, my updates have been working. Am I just running with no recovery partition and therefore unable to use that if i have a big problem?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxxo:
Download ROM manager ,it will check/install recovery for you, although I prefer twrp with goo manager, and online nandroids? Are they safe!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
When I mentioned "Nandroid" backup, I was referring to the CWM (or TWRP) built-in backup method. These are made using the custom recovery menu.

The "boot" and "recovery" partitions are raw partitions in Android, not filesystems, so they never get mounted as /boot or /recovery (The do not contain filesystems). When CWM or TWRP backs them up, they literally copy the entire partition as a single blob of data.

IMO, performing backups on live filesystems is a really stupid idea (unless they happen to be mounted read-only or have a built-in snapshot facility - neither of which are true for the /data parttion). For just the ROM alone without any user data, /system is normally mounted read-only, and if that "Online Nandroid Backup" tool allows you to give a pathname for raw (blob-type) backups, you can use

/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/LNX

and

/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/SOS

for the "boot" and "recovery" partitions, respectivey. (These are symlinks; if symlinks gives your backup app trouble, you can specify the paths with /dev/block/mmcblk0p??? pathnames - I didn't give them here because they might be different partition numbers between grouper and tilapia devices)

ROM Manager (for instance) just gives you a pretty interface, but the actual backup work is done by booting into the recovery - which just runs a script which was prepared by ROM Manager.

good luck

[HD2 General] martijn5380:
Hello everybody.

I have used my HD2 for 2 years now, and tried all the new ROM's there have been. First started with wm 6.5 custom ROM's, then Android ROM's and for the last half year WP7. About 6 months ago, my telephone suddenly became very slow, had to wait for Whatsapp to open like 15 seconds, and sometimes it just wouldn't respond. So I've tried everything, starting with flashing a new ROM. Then I removed everything and did task 29. Tried NativeSD but even then it's just SO slow :(. WP7 worked a little bit better, but still not so fast and liked Android more. So my question is: Has anyone experienced this, and is there anything left to try? (Oh, by the way: My battery is almost never completely charged, could that be related?)

Thanks for your replies! :D

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
You can Google "Kindle Fire disable OTA", but something tells me we won't be seeing anymore updates from Amazon for this tablet. I think the best thing for you to do is install a custom ROM. If you like the stock OS, MoDaCo is the best way to go. It is rooted with OTA disabled and a host of other various mods and tweaks, but still keeps the user interface relatively untouched.

Hi

I converted from Yakju to Takju when 4.2 started rolling out in the Autumn. Now my GN has tried to install the OTA twice and failed both times.

So using adb I tried to apply the patch manually. However, it's giving an error:

assert failed: apply_patch_check ("EMMC:/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hasmmc.0/by-name/radio (it then goes into a very long number)

Installation aborted

Do I need to upgrade the radio baseband? Will it work if I flash the whole image rather than just the update?

EDIT: I should say I'm on stock 4.2.1, unlocked, no root
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodh:
Yes, the radio is why its failing. You could flash the whole image instead, or just fastboot flash radio radio.img, reboot, then try the update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madd0g:
Download whole takju 4.2.2 image, flash LJ radio and fastboot update image-takju4.2.2.zip without -w parameter to avoid userdata overwrite, more faster since you skip the OTA flash this way.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodh:
That's not a very good guide. Use this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1626895. You're typing ./adb devices, and it says no device detected? What version of osx?

I think i've read about some issues connecting a gnex to newer osx versions, and if that is the case, google it. If your phone is registering a connection, I doubt the usb port is the problem.

Got it working with the guide. Flashed bootloader and radio with no problem.

Yeah, flashed boot just forgot to put it in here. The error I was getting during system.img was 'no such folder' (can't remember the exact phrasing). But I started again from scratch, didn't get any errors and it's all working fine. Not sure what the difference between attempts was.
