My bootloader seems to be locked :(

I followed this guide:http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...e-nexus-7-now-manual-download-link-available/

And on this screen

Reboot your Nexus 7 and hold the VolDn button while it's booting up. Once you see the fastboot menu and the word Start, press VolUp a few times until you see Recovery and then press the Power button to enter recovery.

it says "Locked"

And this doesn't work

You will see an Android with a red exclamation point. Now press VolUp+Power together, and you should see the menu below.

I've never been interested in rooting my N7, so I wasn't aware of this. Oh well, waiting for OTA then...
[Nexus 7 General] weirdsciencex:
Yeah which is why I'm hesitating to try it. Easy to try with PC, pain in the ass without.
[Nexus 7 General] Longi94:
udpdated using sideload and stock recovery successfully, then flashed cwm and installed supersu v69 through it, now I have a rooted kitkat device! :D
[Nexus 7 General] El Jrunchas:
nope, not in mine
[Nexus 7 General] :
Judging by the resolution on that screenshot, I'm guessing you have Nexus 7 2013 version :)
[Nexus 7 General] neophyte2008:
Aaah Finally :good:
[Nexus 7 General] issak42:
Didn't work :(

I'm downloading 4.3 image, I'll get it from there, hopefully it works this time (I've tried 5 files already :S)
[Nexus 7 General] fKm:
Installed the update and it works, but there is option to activate ART? Can anyone confirm this?
[Nexus 7 General] gandhiuk:
No ART :(
[Nexus 7 General] spences10:
I have 3.1 wtf?
[Nexus 7 General] neophyte2008:
Looks like google is appling again or may be they are testing and will release features on a future date :)
[Nexus 7 General] NeoMagus:
That is normal look at his screen its a 2013 ours says ME370T
[Nexus 7 General] ranger7424:
I am trying to do sideload now, but my system isnt recognizing my N7, i am running stock and the device manager shows the Nexus 7 with a splat on the icon. I know this is a driver issue, but I cannot get the driver to update. I even tried to download the drivers from ASUS, and also tried the drivers in the SDK.
[Nexus 7 General] Longi94:
or they just want you to buy the new nexus :P

btw is it safe to install a custom kernel?
[Nexus 7 General] issak42:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/sbh48njlsvuypn8/debuggerd4.3.zip

Stock 4.3 debuggerd file, if anyone needs it. Copy it into /system/bin and remove the existing one.
[Nexus 7 General] espionage724:
Manually select the Android ADB driver (not composite or bootloader one) and it should work.
[Nexus 7 General] jss42:
I had the same issue, try this:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html#top
[Nexus 7 General] issak42:
Windows 8 or 8.1?

there is an issue with drivers.

Try using W7 machine if you can.
[Nexus 7 General] neophyte2008:
Goodnight guys . . .Have a good time with your update . . .Its 3 AM here and I will sleep.....
[Nexus 7 General] PhilUSAF21:
Downloaded the update zip. So how do I update using wugfresh toolkit?
[Nexus 7 General] f00d4tehg0dz:
anyone have ART in their Nexus 7? I don't see the runtime option like I do on my nexus 5. :(
[Nexus 7 General] timmae2:
installed it over stock 4.3 with twrp 2.6.3.1. working great with supersu app. I have kernel 3.1.10
[Nexus 7 General] cupidstunt:
Just make sure you're on the latest 4.3 and make a nandroid before you start as it doesn't affect the recovery
[Nexus 7 General] Kas206:
Thanks! I managed to flash it successfully using the updated recovery
[Nexus 7 General] fKm:
No ART option here too :(
[Nexus 7 General] cincibluer6:
Launch advanced utilities.

Sideload update. If I'm wrong, someone correct me.

Also, word to the wise, I have also had problems updating mine via TWRP. It went for a bit, aborted the installation, and now is in a bootloop with the new Nexus splash screen.

Working on sideloading the update now and doing it that way.

Not sure what version of TWRP I was running but it was relatively recent.

Now getting cannot read sideload

Got it going
[Nexus 7 General] gandhiuk:
Sorry misread!! I installed through stock.
[Nexus 7 General] metaldood:
Ah fragmentation at it's finest. No ART on N7 2012. No GEL on N7 2012. Wonder what else is left out.
[Nexus 7 General] Foka002:
Downloaded from link and used adb sideload to install. Works perfectly. (No root and locked bootloader)Thanks
[Nexus 7 General] SquireSCA:
I had returned my N7 to stock last week with Wug's toolkit... Sideloaded the KitKat update, runs fine, but to be honest, I really don't see or feel any difference. It isn't faster, I don't see any new features, the icons look the same... The menu buttons and status bar are transparent now, other than that, not sure why I was so excited for this. LOL
[Nexus 7 General] alfmetal:
yeah, as said before it works with twrp 2.6.3.1

just update that recovery
[Nexus 7 General] ramttin:
I installed on twrp 2.6.3.0. successfully
[Nexus 7 General] Kas206:
Anyone else having problems downloading anything from the play store? I keep getting errors
[Nexus 7 General] jadephyre:
So, how long until someone builds a ROM that can be applied without sideloading it :D
[Nexus 7 General] Deeco7:
Anyone in the UK got the OTA? I'm not a desperado so I can still wait.
[Nexus 7 General] saijuska:
Thank you!trying now...

Asked cause 2.6.3.1 download link is broken in goo manager
[Nexus 7 General] Goneeuro:
Silly question but is there a way to install this on a stock n7 with out a computer. In already in bed and don't want to get up to get my laptop. If not I guess I wait till tomorrow.

Edit to add no ota update in Germany yet.
[Nexus 7 General] NeoMagus:
Did you force it by clearing the framework. Remove your google account in settings, readd it and clear cache/data of Play Store
[Nexus 7 General] neophyte2008:
Has anyone noticed glitchy screen just before boot animation... I think Google rushed an unfinished product on us?:(
[Nexus 7 General] :
I hate to whine about the update already, but so far I'm just a tiny bit disappointed.

We already knew we wouldn't get the new launcher from the Nexus 5, but there's no new backgrounds, transparent app drawer or new folder style, but then again, this is maybe all part of the new launcher?

The swiping bounce-back problem still hasn't been fixed, for me atleast. It doesn't occur with Apex launcher, but the problem persist with the stock one. And also, no ART and no 3.4 kernel :(

On the plus side of things, it definitely seems to be a little smoother and faster, even though I haven't done any benchmarks yet.
[Nexus 7 General] defconoi:
I just used flash-all.sh in linux with fastboot to stock 4.3 then did adb sideload in stock recovery and reflashing twrp and supersu, working perfectly

Edit: Successfully flashed stock, rebooted to stock recover pressed power + up, selected update via sideload for kitkat, installed, rebooted bootloader to fastboot flash recovery twrp, rebooted to recovery to flash supersu, success!

Got 920 error while trying to download any app from store... weird
[Nexus 7 General] ramttin:
Are you on stock 4.3? stock kernel? not modified system folder? you must be these!
[Nexus 7 General] GldRush98:
lollers at you all getting exciting over an update that really brings nothing new. Going to be so many disappointed people when they flash this and realize it's the same as 4.3.
[Nexus 7 General] spences10:
Remember not to feed the trolls ;)
[Nexus 7 General] cincibluer6:
Yeah. I think it was just TWRP.

I was just rooted 4.3. I had a custom kernel but flashed stock before getting the OTA.

It just failed with the old TWRP.

ADB pushed 2.6 or whatever the absolute newest one is and it works.

So as an FYI to all users of TWRP, I recommend upgrading that to the latest before flashing this.

But as I speak, it just booted up fine and all is well.
[Nexus 7 General] Ultra_HR:
I didn't really care much about the new launcher - it was ART I was interested in trying out. Didn't expect that to be missing.
[Nexus 7 General] GldRush98:
You didn't expect a completely experimental run time that Google recommends you not use to be missing?
[Nexus 7 General] Ultra_HR:
Correct.
[Nexus 7 General] GldRush98:
You prefer to have apps crashing and a generally unstable OS over no crashes and stability?
[Nexus 7 General] alfmetal:
play store working fine on my n7

so far not a single app denied or failed to install .
[Nexus 7 General] jadephyre:
No, as it's available on the 2013 version of our device.
[Nexus 7 General] Ultra_HR:
I like to test new and experimental features, as do most people in this thread I'd imagine.

Why are you even here?
[Nexus 7 General] GldRush98:
Yes, the 2013 also has double the ram the original 2012 model does. I'm going out on a limb here, but my guess is ART doesn't like running apps with only 1gb of ram.

[Nexus 7 General] jadephyre:
Which apps? TitaniumBackup and Whatsapp... well boo-f**king-hoo!
[Nexus 7 General] cincibluer6:
In his/her defense, if you're going into developer options and enabling whatever, you deserve to have stuff messed up if you don't know what it is so I can legitimately see them having it.

Most users won't even know how to get developer options.
[Nexus 7 General] GldRush98:
Eh, there are a lot more than that.
[Nexus 7 General] adil17:
Might be a noob question but I'll probably lose root if I flash the OTA zip right?
[Nexus 7 General] cincibluer6:
^^If I remember, you keep it assuming you have the latest SuperSu, granted I lost it somehow (not a big deal for now.)
[Nexus 7 General] defconoi:
honestly if ART works on the nexus 7 by porting the nexus 5 port over I think that would be the better option than this, shame on google for fragmenting their own Nexus platform
[Nexus 7 General] CrazyPeter:
Anyone having any problems flashing superSU zip onto Nexus7 2012? Not had any problems on N5, N72013, but it fails to work on 2012. Tried 1.65 and 1.69, no luck.

They appear to flash correctly from recovery, but dont' show up on reboot. Tried all sorts of variations.

Adb shell, then SU shows that the command is recognised, but then hangs, and the device doesn't prompt as a result of this/.
[Nexus 7 General] Ultra_HR:
Ah yeah, top notch trolling there, I totally fell for that.
[Nexus 7 General] apope:
Hey Lads,

Been stalking this thread all day and been having great craic moving from AOKP back to stock 4.3 and then sideloading the update to 4.4. All a breeze really. I have been using SkipSoft toolkit and have had no problems. Looking forward to playing with 4.4 now! Just wanted to say cheers for all the information. Hope it goes as smooth for all of you!:good:

Hey guys.. Nexus 10 user here and need a favor. We just got our link to the OTA

Do you guys have this bug? It's been confirmed on the Nexus 10 and it's in the Framework and not the Launcher (does it on Nova also)

Default launcher

Long press an icon a "FLICK" it up off the screen to remove it

X Remove stays there and the Google Search bar doesn't move back

[App drawer to reset homescreen]

Press Home

X Remove is now overlayed on the Search

Long press an icon and "DRAG" it to the remove area instead

X Remove goes away on its own and the Google Search returns

Hey Guys,

i installed Wugs ToolKit and installed unrooted Stock. The Command Line output was Bootloader Faile invalidState. I installed TWRP and flashed Stock Android by Androiguid.fr. Is there another solution?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 General] FormerSlacker:
So, no GEL, no ART, no transparency with stock launcher, no updated kernel.... great last update Google. :rolleyes:

EDIT: Oh yeah, they also removed the fast webview that AOSP Browser/Dolphin and pretty much every third party browser users and replaced it with the slow scrolling Chrome version. No more smooth scrolling for you, it's either Chrome or Firefox now... there is no other option.
[Nexus 7 General] Hepokatti:
I had same problem, just install superSU from Play Market after flashing and it works.
[Nexus 7 General] chanxin:
Still no OTA on Nexus 7 2013

I'm on 4.3 JSS15R but when I checked update it still says my system is up to date?

Any idea?
[Nexus 7 General] metaldood:
Agree. Sucks really bad. One year old devices(almost capable as new devices) do not get the latest features. Ring any bells like the fruit company?

soooo, with a little messing ;P I got Kitkat with GLE on my Nexus 7 after messing and googling for like 30 seconds ;P

to do this

Install Kitkat 'drrrrrr'

Go to this link and install the APK There: can't post links, but second page on Android Police

press home, chosse the blue icon, always

Tada, 4.4 just like the Nexus 5 'Almost'

Bugs: Keyboard appears after pressing home

rotation causes the wallpaper to zoom

search bar not center
[Nexus 7 General] Goneeuro:
Anyone in Europe get the ota yet? Is 1am and I'm too lazy to go get my PC.
[Nexus 7 General] yunalover:
nope, I ADB it in the end
[Nexus 7 General] jcnbama:
You make me sad. I know I could download ADB and install the drivers manually and etc etc but why do all that when I can use a toolkit that "for the most part" make things easier. Makes Wug a little bit richer and me a little bit happier... Just saying. It's not that I don't know how to do it.... I'd just rather not. Kinda like a dishwasher... lol.

Now does anyone have any idea what might actually cause that install to fail? I would assume I downloaded the correct file.
[Nexus 7 General] NeoMagus:
You deleted or changed something in /system thats causing the script to fail (ie deleted an app, changed the build.prop or other files) change back what you did or flash back to complete stock
[Nexus 7 General] styckx:
You need to report it.. I already started a report for the Nexus 10.. You need to star it and comment that it also happens on the Nexus 7 Original... This doesn't happen on the 2013 edition.

[Nexus 7 General] Fredro:
For you guys that's getting this error

Try latest version of CWM 6.0.4.3 it might work.

I got the same error because I had supersu installed. So I modified the update script to remove the root. But I'm not sure if it did work, because I also updated to latest CWM and it worked. I can share that version of the OTA that I patched if latest version of CWM is not enough.
[Nexus 7 General] cincibluer6:
If you have the latest version, you're good to go.
[Nexus 7 General] jpm168:
Didn't work first time, then flashed stock 4.3 image, install recovery and flash again and works.
[Nexus 7 General] C0derbear:
On my 2012 N7 I d/l the OTA zip from a link in this thread a couple hours ago, fetched and updated TWRP to the current version, copied the zip over to the N7, and used TWRP to flash from the zip.

Blim-blam no problemo.

Was running unlocked with custom recovery and stock 4.3 before.
[Nexus 7 General] jcody03:

Thank you so much can not wait to try it when I get home. I would like to thank everyone on this forum. I am new to all of this but I have learned a lot from just reading the forms. so thank you

So far the only diff I can tell is it says 4.4 in the about screen. Don't have the new launcher and doesn't seem to run any faster or slower....
[Nexus 7 General] ClippinWings:
In fairness 2 of those are the same thing... And Nova fixes it.

For me I don't want, can't have GEl... I'm a Moto X user... The last thing on earth I want is both my phone and tablet activating and searching, playing music, launching an app, etc... at the same time... what a cluster-f*** that would be.

[Nexus 7 General] jadephyre:
An updated Google Search was just released. If you update it and THEN install the launcher that was ripped from the N5, then you will get the full transparency. At least if I did not misread AndroidPolice's latest news entry.

[Nexus 7 General] ClippinWings:
not stock.

But you can get it if you....

If you use the new Google Search APK that's floating around you can then use teh Google Expereince Launcher APK that's also out there....

Or just use Nova Launcher Beta, like many of us are.

Okay.. I have restore my stock ROM using custom recovery so now I am on stock rom.. I have also flashed stock recovery. But still rooted and unlocked. Will I able to get OTA update? I don't care about rooting for now. And also I have removed few apps like youtube using titanium backup. I hope it is okay.
[Nexus 7 General] Khaiyan:
No. You've made system changes (like removing stock apps) so OTA won't go through.
[Nexus 7 General] naruto100:
oppsss.. Then any way to get the update...:confused:
[Nexus 7 General] gsmyth:
Just look out for a flashable zip, its usually available pretty quickly (probably before the OTA lands on your device!) once the devs here get there hands on the OTA file. ;)
[Nexus 7 General] Khaiyan:
If you want to do the OTA the official way and not via flashing the 4.4 ROM...

Restore back to stock and don't make any changes. Bootloader can be left unlocked but no pointing rooting as you will lose that after the OTA.
[Nexus 7 General] ghost010:
Cool,right on my b-day as if google knew...haha just kidding(about google knowing)
[Nexus 7 General] naruto100:
Flashable zip means I can flash it using any custom recover.. right?

[MENTION=4760768]esskayy[/MENTION]... How can I restore back to stock?
[Nexus 7 General] thaecc:
I think Google knows about your b-day...

Also I think my tablet will crack soon from me tapping the screen :(
[Nexus 7 General] gsmyth:
Yes, it can be flashed in custom recovery.

To go back to stock you can use a tool kit (Wug's) or flash the full factory images on Google's website.
[Nexus 7 General] naruto100:
Actually I had cwm backup file of STOCK ROM.. But I guess I have removed few apps like youtube using titanium backup.. But after factory reset they will be back.. so isn't it will be all right for getting OTA update...? I have even restored stock recovery.
[Nexus 7 General] gsmyth:
It should do if you're fully stock again, just not sure if the missing apps would be restored after factory reset.
[Nexus 7 General] CyanideIII:
Is there any new update from nvidia or kernel update?
[Nexus 7 General] hasbrobot:
Factory reset Will not restore apps you removed. For future reference and less hassle on your end do not remove system apps unless your prepared to pay the price of any update not installing. You'll have to flash stock in order to reinstall anything you removed.
