TILAPIA

Direct Download: http://goo.im/devs/Androguide/Nexus7/Stock-Rooted-4.3/AOSP-4.3-JWR66V-tilapia-rooted_Androguide.zip

Instructions

Wipe /data, /cache & dalvik-cache (wiping /system is recommended, but not mandatory I guess)

Flash the ROM

If the recovery says the stock recovery might be flashed over and asks you to disable it, answer NO.

Reboot & Enjoy

Updating Bootloader/Radio

This is not mandatory.

If you want to update your bootloader or radio (radio is for tilapia only, obviously), here are the images:

Grouper

:

bootloader: http://d-h.st/QFd

Tilapia

bootloader: http://d-h.st/4Gr

radio: http://d-h.st/XCW

You'll also need fastboot for your platform (just search on google or xda, or install the Android SDK).

I will

not

provide flashable zips for these as I do

not

believe it is safe to flash a bootloader via recovery (be it by using dd or by copying the raw image directly).

To update bootloader (replace XXX with grouper or tilapia depending on your model):

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-[COLOR="DarkRed"]XXX[/COLOR]-4.23.img

To update radio

fastboot flash radio radio-tilapia-1231_0.18.0_0409.img

Tips

Titanium Backup users

: Point TBU to /storage/emulated/legacy instead of /storage/emulated/0

If enough people request it I'll do the same for the 3G model.

Enjoy ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Monfro:
First!!

Thank you!!!

EDIT:

I confirm the room is running very well and smooth
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Whitecookie:
Great!

Will try it out now!

Thank you! :good:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] getinnocuous:
Oh wow, not only are you amazing for putting this .zip together for us too lazy to figure out how to install the image itself, but if this keeps root, you are officially the best person in the world today. Many thanks.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Androguide.fr:
The file is still uploading, please wait, there's about 10 minutes left
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Requills:
Wow, awesome.

Been waiting for this all day :)

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] porkovich:
What about new Bootloader version ? will this update the bootloader by itself ?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Androguide.fr:
Nope, if you want to update your bootloader you'll need to fastboot it, I attached the new bootloader to this post if you need it.

The fastboot command is

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-4.23.img

It probably wouldn't boot until you flash a compatible rom

EDIT: actually, the updater-script wouldn't let you install it, it checks in your current build.prop if ro.product.board is set to grouper
[Nexus 7 Android Development] the orange bandit:
Awesome, thanks!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] r00t4ev3r:
I think it just won't install :p
[Nexus 7 Android Development] renildrah:
How is this for grouper when Google doesn't call it grouper anymore? You sure this is the right ROM then?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Androguide.fr:
Here is an excerpt from the 4.3 build.prop:

ro.product.name=nakasi
ro.product.device=grouper

The nakasi/grouper thing isn't new, it's always been this way.

And obviously I tested it before uploading --'

However, I made a mistake by using ChainsDD's superuser binary & apk, I just saw that Chainfire created a special version of SuperSU that works on 4.3 as it apparently has some new restrictions to get root access working.

So I am currently re-uploading the rom with working root courtesy of Chainfire. Sorry about that guys.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] VoiD_Dweller:
I seriously doubt he would have posted a 3g (mobile) build for the grouper (wifi) .. I also wouldn't second guess someone nice enough to go out of their way to put this new flashable build out there for us either.. Make a backup, if it doesn't work, restore..
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lensgrabber:
So flash the zip first then the bootloader in fastboot mode?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] facedown41:
Link still says Uploading? Is it ready now?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] TheLastSidekick:
This. +1 if you have a doubt don't flash it.

And thanks for the fast fix Androguide we appreciate your work.

Please read. He's reuploading a new build with the superuser built for 4.3
[Nexus 7 Android Development] renildrah:
Nevermind.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ralph0015:
Well, TBF, it was kind of a silly question.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] espaciosalter20:
Maybe, next time you should read a little more before asking anything..and yes, Grouper is the first Nexus 7 with wifi since the beginning (grouper: hardware /nakasi: software)

I'm eagerly waiting to try 4.3
[Nexus 7 Android Development] daddyscooltv:
I clean flashed this morning didn't restore anything and everything was good now when I reboot I get "SYSTEM UIDS INCONSISTENT" any suggestions?

update: I figured it out I think.. I had an app that was giving the error after deleting the app the error went away.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] xateeq:
Just flashed this stock 4.3 goodness, every thing is working fine. root is also working (flashed that root file after rom) only problems are app related (not compatable or updated for 4.3 yet) :D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Bolini900:
What does this mean? "Point TBU"....
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tommy24:
I have no clue why, but this thing is running slow (wifi version)! I factory reset, wipe c/d, and system and it runs slower molasses. Does anyone have a suggestion?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] skeeterpro:
Point Titanium Backup.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Bolini900:
So in other words, point it to the folder where you have your backups stored? Like I described in my previous post.

How will this solve the issue where TB freezes at 0% when I'm trying to restore all of my apps?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] cnewsgrp:
So I should point TBU to /storage/emulated/legacy?

Request that someone who has Tibu restore working please explain clearly
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lio02:
Had to get back to Smoothrom as neither mxplayer nor vlc played my videos ;( one says unsupported android version, the other just plays as audio files...

Otherwise seems to be a good stuff
[Nexus 7 Android Development] DamianSixSixSix:
hmm, updated bootloader, cmd completed succesfully, but it wont boot :(
[Nexus 7 Android Development] webdroidmt:
Flashed the latest zip that was pre-rooted last night and it worked fine, didn't need to flash the SuperSU patch. Also used Wug's to flash the 4.23 bootloader image without any issues.

The rom itself seems to run ok but I decided to go back to my nandroid of Jellybeer rom. I've got the 8GB N7, so I need USB OTG working and currently this 4.3 rom doesn't seem to have native support.

I installed stickmount and it did work but with some caveats. USB storage doesn't show up in settings/storage, additionally in both Solid Explorer and Root Explorer, it recognizes the USB folder but reads it as the exact same size as my internal storage. In other words, my 32GB flash drive reads somewhere around 5-6GB and I don't know how that will play out as the flash drive fills up.

While browsing the rom zipfile, I noticed that the storage list xml in framework-res looked ok but there was no vold.fstab in the etc folder. Is this just an omission, or is this something relative to 4.3? I may try pushing the vold.fstab from 4.2.2 stock to see what happens. :D

I did make a nandroid of the 4.3 rom, so if I want, I can go back at any time. Thanks again for putting this out for us, it's appreciated.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] dictionary:
Yes. Go into preferences and then select where backup is. Big detect and whole device. Then when the two entries pop up, select the one that has legacy instead of the one that has 0. It will work.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] segelfreund:
Looks like good, it installed and the device is booted.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] DamianSixSixSix:
fixed it xd

wugs kit to the rescue :P
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Bolini900:
I have tried this numerous times, but TB still freezes at 0%. I think I will revert back to 4.2 and wait for the OTA update
[Nexus 7 Android Development] warriorofice:
Same problem here with TB.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] slebit:
Thanks for this. Will try when I get som time!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] kboya:
Thought about trying another backup app? Mybackuproot works at least as well as titanium, certainly in backup and restore features.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bungknees:
Watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LLwyhl-U2o

If it doesn't work after watching and going to the correct folders, then something went wrong with when flashing the rom. This method works.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] 3andala:
yeah works perfect and root too :)

Thank u bro

Cheers

which app was it?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] brizey:
So did they fix the sound drivers they broke on 4.2.2? Can you actually hear the speakers now? Just wondering.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] daddyscooltv:
It was dock clock....

I found it listed here in /data/system/uiderrors.txt
[Nexus 7 Android Development] StrangerWeather:
Yes, flash it normally. Grouper is the wifi version and tilapia is the 3g version.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Rimmir:
People trying to restore with Titanium Backup: I found that creating an update.zip of your user apps and flashing it with the ROM restored the apps
[Nexus 7 Android Development] brizey:
So is this still up to date? Looks like chainfire released a update about an hour ago that may fix some of the issues.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] yanksrock1000:
Chainfire released a root update....how should we go about updating? Do we just flash it over?

[Nexus 7 Android Development] zard:
Tested and it's working. I only did dalvic cache wipe in CWMR (Phil's touch), rebooted.

Android version: 4.3

Baseband version: 1231_0.17.0_1205

Kernel version:

3.1.10-g1e8b3d8

Build number:

JWR66V
[Nexus 7 Android Development] youdug:
Answered my potential question.

Anyone know why the kernel is not at least 3.4.0?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] sonofevil77:
Much much better! I could barely hear it on stock 4.2 but ran Vanilla Root box most of the time and it was nice and loud with that rom, it is a touch lower than on VrB but way louder than stock 4.2.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jb0ne:
Installed, wiped cache and dalvik in TWRP 2.4, no issues. Except now I'm only half-rooted. SuperSU says there's no su binary. Vodoodo rootkeeper says there is and offers to protect root. No root-requiring apps work.

Can I just flash SuperSU 1.41 on it?

Edit: Reflashed the new 4.3 SuperSU on it. Root has come back just fine. I know what happened - when I flashed at some point I removed /system/etc/install-recovery.sh as I didn't want it blowing away recovery and was wondering why it was still there. Now I know. I starts the SuperSU daemon.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] brizey:
No.

Flash 1.43 :D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Macmee:
Stupid question but I'm stock 4.2 right now. Will I get this update soon on my N7 automatically?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jb0ne:
Actually it appears it's still called 1.41. From the official page https://plus.google.com/+Chainfire/posts/WqS2E9kkN1L it's linked as http://download.chainfire.eu/340/SuperSU/SuperSU-JWR66N-S005-130625-1.41.zip.

I think these changes would necessitate a name change to 1.43 though. Now let's see if I get the battery drain issue people are reporting...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] brizey:
That's not the latest. Look a few posts up for 1.43. That's build 340, build 342 is linked above.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] nlabrad:
Uhm what happens if I kinda missed the button and pressed yes instead of no?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Lozone:
This happened to me.

I just downloaded TWRP 2.6.0.0 and fastboot flash recovery
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jb0ne:
This is great. On 4.3 now, easy peasy.

On thing: did you fix the two recent security flaws by hand in this? When I run SRT AppScanner it says I'm secure, despite the fact the Xposed Framework won't install on 4.3.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] nlabrad:
Oh so it means that it flashed the stock kernel over the custom one?

May this be related with the fact that I'm not rooted? Supersu says that the binary is missing it can't install it.

Ok nevermind. I did the fastboot flash recovery recovery.img to restore the recovery.

And then i installed this http://download.chainfire.eu/342/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.43.zip from the recovery.

All working now.

Titanium Backup just worked without any weird configuration.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] casonswag:
Do we have a newer version of 4.3 rom yet? I think the number is JSS15J I believe
[Nexus 7 Android Development] japper88:
Okay I got everything up and running, bootloader, etc. Using the new SU update I didn't have to change anything for TBU to work.

Looks like I can't uninstall programs (e.g. google earth) using TBU... but I think that is a TBU issue...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bsoplinger:
Just boot back into your recovery and do the flash again but answer the flash correctly.

BTW, SuperSU is up to version forgot_the version.44 now. Search for the XDA thread if it doesn't update via the Play Store. It fixes the bug where the new method can run wild and use all the CPU.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] karandevilocs:
so i installed this and works good but i have a LITTLE question for :

if i flash new bootloader can i install older roms like PA(3.68) 4.22 later ?!?!?! and can i just change the boot animation by just changing the bootanimation.zip in this rom's ZIP!

thanks
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mrshark:
i still don't understand all this "mania" of updating bootloaders... why, what's the point, what do you get updating it? nothing...

no more battery, no "buttery", no performance, nothing... only the risk to brick your device... if something works, leave it alone!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] karandevilocs:
no sometimes it boosts performance and stability i experienced this on my One X !

so still no answer about whether or not i will be able to flash 4.22 roms after bootloader updates?!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dparrothead1:
I have to agree. I got my N7 last July on Google pre order. I unlocked, rooted and installed a custom ROM the first week I had it.

I am still running the original bootloader with absolutely no problems.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] tu3218:
good to hear about the bootloader. I just rooted and unlocked a couple months ago. I was wondering if its worth updating it or not. I plan on just flashing basic 4.3 rom(no custom stuff), since that's all I care about. But was deciding whether I should go back to completely stock to accept the ota to make sure everything gets updated.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mrshark:
well, in that case is normally clearly stated to do that update... i've haven't seen a single such advice since the N7 came out...

---------- Post added at 03:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:45 PM ----------

my only concerns are about media players, still not working on 4.3... i use mx player and vlc... the former says "android version not supported", the latter plays only the audio part from a video... hope they are updated soon... archos video player FCs, and in the latest version says not compatible, too... looking for alternatives... hints?

and i hope for a tablet interface instead of tablet... i hate all that wasting of screen of top notification area and bottom buttons, prefer all down and even shrinked in height... but for now, living with this :)

I thought Google officially dropped tabletUI for phabletUI as of Android 4.1 (for 7" devices at least) which means no tabletUI without some sort of modification like changing build.prop dpi or other hacks.

Looks like you are trying to flash the wrong zip. Assert checks whether you are updating the correct zip.

Either you are using the wrong zip or you have the grouper bootloader

Hi,

I flashed the grouper zip plus superSu update, everything went well but u do have some problems with the root. When trying to uninstall a system app it doesn't seem to work. I've tried titanium backup, root uninstaller and even deleting the apps myself with root explorer. Titanium says uninstall successful but the apps are still there, root uninastaler does nothing, and when delete the apk it works but the app is still in the app drower and works just fine. Any suggestions?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mrshark:
same here, and already stated a few pages back... uninstalling system app, and integrating updates to them in system do not work... maybe it has something to do with the new nosuid mount for /system, that has the known implication on rooting 4.3 using a pipe daemon to su...

I'm not 100% sure, but I think this issue has something to do with the new SELinux implementation. Until a full root method is obtained, or reverted to, we will just have to live with these little annoyances.
