[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Geese1:
Thanks for the info. I'm assuming flashing back to TWRP after I get the latest OTA will not wipe any data either, correct?

Anyway, I flashed the stock recovery image manually and it seemed to go off without a hitch, but then when I booted into recovery mode I just get the little android guy with the red exclamation point. Is this normal? I don't think I've been in the stock recovery before.

Want to get this going smoothly on mine before trying it out on the wife's. :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ScOULaris:
When you get to that screen, press the Power button and Volume Up at the same time to go to the stock recovery menu.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] timrock:
Correct regarding your first question
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Geese1:
When I get to the screen with the android bot laying down and the exclamation point, that's when I press up on the volume and the power button? I tried that and it's not doing anything. I don't know if I need to actually go into the stock recovery mode, but I just want a way to check to make sure it's on there correctly.

By the way, thanks for all the help everyone - really makes things go smoothly for a newbie like me!

I'm trying to flash the stock recovery zip within TWRP but it fails. I've tried to download it multiple times. The SuperSU-OTA file flashes fine but the recovery just fails.

I'm using extended power menu to drop into TWRP then flashing the files there, not using adb. Does it matter?

Hi where can I download the stock kernel? Just flashed the elementalx kernel recently.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sidamos77:
Thanks for testing that and for the fix. Will SuperSU be updated to include the fix?

BTW, you are talking about JWR66N and JSS15J, but the "official" numbers are slightly different?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sfhub:
I don't know if SuperSU intended to leave the immutable flag in there to support ota survival or not. I just know it isn't required for SuperSU to function and that it was preventing the OTA from completing.

Not sure what you mean by official #s but JWR66N is the official first build everyone is getting right now and until yesterday JSS15J is what everyone was getting as their second build.

JSS15J got pulled and replaced by JSS15Q but all the principles found in my testing of the JSS15J OTA will still be relevant for the JSS15Q OTA.

If you made a nandroid backup in twrp, it is there.

---------- Post added at 12:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 AM ----------

Stock recovery zip probably isn't meant to flash in twrp.

If all you see in the zip is recovery.img then it is meant to flash using

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Inside of bootloader mode
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Otimus:
I ran into the same problem, so I just used the Nexus Root Toolkit's advanced options to restore a stock recovery, and that worked. That's the easiest route, if you care about that sort of thing.

I quite like the Wugs Nexus Root Toolkit...exactly what I was looking for and works great for us n00bs to the process. I unlocked and rooted mine without the Toolkit, but I used it to restore Stock Recovery for now while I await the OTA. I'll use it to flash TWRP back to it and reroot after the OTA.

Seems like a decent plan to me...or am I missing something?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] zim2dive:
Sounded so good, I just did exactly that :) (flashed back to stock recovery so I can wait for OTA)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] timrock:
is this what we flash to get root back, after installing the update?

You don't need wugs to install twrp. You can get goo manager. Click on the menu and select Install Open Recovery. This will install twrp.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] The Holocron:
Yes, or I can do it by command like, which I've learned to do already as well. I'm just finding that I like Wug's Toolkit.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] zim2dive:
So I was rooted with TWRP.. used (or thought I had) Wug's toolkit to reinstall stock recovery...

hmph... or not.... got the OTA and it failed at the end with Android on it's back and a red error triangle.

I was able to reboot and it said "Android is upgrading", optimizing the 68 apps... Android info still shows version JSS15J.

Launched Wug's and tried to reboot to recovery (in case I would find that TWRP was somehow still there).. ended up at Android on his back, red arrow, "No command."

So N7 is alive.. I'm guessing I have the situation where I really do have the update except for those final steps which we thought would be solved by putting stock recovery back ?!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] church:
I'm rooted with stock everything else and I receive the OTA update today but when I applied the update there was an error at the last point of the update just like your issue so I thought I couldn't update anymore. I tried manually flashing the OTA update using adb sideload but I came across an error that had a system 7 message.

I saw post on Android Police to reflash a stock build and it was a factory "Q" build. So instead of flashing the OTA update I just reinstalled the updated system IMG. now I'm up to date and I didn't have to wipe my user data. So if anybody else is having an issue with the ota just follow the instruction on the link

http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...stock-using-a-full-factory-image-and-root-it/
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sfhub:
The reason the ota failed for you is because the SuperSU install sets the immutable flag on a file the ota is trying to update. It doesn't matter whether you run twrp or stock, both will have the same failure.

There is a fix for the problem earlier in this thread. If you install that fix using twrp, you can reinstall the ota and it will be successful. Even if you don't you are running almost all of JSS15Q right now, it just says JSS15J and recovery and bootloader didn't get updated.

I'm a bit lost guys.

I just tried to flash the stock recovery so I could get the updates but I'm not sure if it worked. I got to the point where the Android man was on the screen with a red exclamation mark. It wouldn't shut down or anything until I plugged it into the mains. How can I check if it worked?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Claghorn:
I'm lost too :). I already have JSS15J on my tablet (got it within minutes of turning it on).

I unlocked and flashed TWRP after those day 1 updates. I also used TWRP to install the SuperSU zip, then told SuperSU to make itself look like it came from Google Play so I could get updates. I now have SuperSU version 1.51 on the tablet.

Do I still need to run the SuperSu-ota fix? Will I continue to need to run it every time I get a SuperSU update (or an update to the binaries)? What does it actually do? Can I just run a chattr comand to do it manually?

Do I need to install the JSS15J stock recovery for OTA to work?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sfhub:
Yes it will disable root, see this post if you plan on flashing the OTA with SuperSU installed:

Yes. It will download but fail to install. You need stock recovery. Use wugs toolkit and restore Stock recovery.

As previous poster mentioned, it will download, then fail when trying to install.

If you restore the stock kernel it should work in TWRP, though if you want to be safest, restore stock recovery also.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sordna:
flashing recoveries

There are 2 nice apps that flash recoveries from android itself:

Recovery Tools

and

Flash Image GUI (this one can flash kernels img's too)

there's probably more, but I've used both the above with success, without need for fastboot or usb cables.

BTW stock boot.img (kernel), stock recovery, stock system, are all included in the Factory Images for Nexus Devices so whenever you need something and don't have a nandroid of your stock system, you can always download the official image, untar it, and get what you need.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] efrant:
I guess you can't argue with safety, but I personally feel suggesting flashing updates via a stock recovery because it's safer is really overkill.

You are right to point, i.e., the initial 'touch' versions of CWM had issues with OTA updates, but they wouldn't do anything malicious, they would just not flash the update.

I've flashed essentially every OTA update (including ones that flashed bootloaders) using CWM or TWRP on the following devices without any issues whatsoever: Nexus One, Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 (original).
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] The111:
So I am assuming the "ota-fix" file is just something you made which reverts that one immutable flag you mention?

So I'm also assuming that in the future if SuperSU revs past v1.51 but neglects to "fix" this issue themselves (i.e. they keep setting that flag for some reason), then your ota-fix file should keep working when flashed after the 1.51+ versions?

Thanks for your efforts, hope to be able to do stuff like this myself sometime soon!

Very interesting. Thanks for the info.

Having never really used any Android device that wasn't part of the Nexus line, I wasn't aware of all the issues with eMMC corruption.

All the custom recoveries I have used have been based off the latest stock recovery images, and given that OTA updates use the previous recovery to apply the update before flashing the newer recovery, I never even saw an issue.

I don't see a U.S. version, which country would be appropriate? From what I've found via searching is that I can flash the firmware via Odin and this will restore it all.
