Flash the factory image on top of custom recovery with a full wipe and I have kitkat? That's all?
[Nexus 7 General] XDA Dark:
Just went from KRT16O to KRT16S factory Image using Google Nexus 7 TOOLKIT V5.0.0 (Flash same as 4.2.2). Works great and installed fine.
[Nexus 7 General] gsmyth:
Flash the boot, system and boot loader .img files and make sure you have a flashable zip of chainfires latest supersu downloaded along with a zip of your recovery. Upstate the ROM files (wugs tool kit or adb) and then flash your recovery and supersu and your recovery and root should be fine after updating.
[Nexus 7 General] neo1691:
Where can I get the boot and systems img files? Also the stock bootloader? So that I can use adb and fastboot.

By the way I flashed this ROM, is this the stock 4.3 rom?? Its rooted and deodexed.

Before flashing this rom, I had unlocked my bootloader using fastboot and installed the CWM recovery.

After flashing this ROM (stock) Recovery asked me to fix auto flashing of stock recovery and I chose NO. Yet CWM recovery is still there.

After booting to stock 4.3, an update was ready to be flashed via OTA. It was the 4.3 update. But after that When I check for system update, it says that your system is up to date.

EDIT:

On 4.4:

Just downloaded the factory image for nakasi-krt160 and ran the flash-all.sh script!! Great

[Nexus 7 General] Letitride:
The N7 (and the sub) forum was quiet for a while aside from custom roms, kernels & the usual - this latest KitKat seemed to have lots of newbies scrambling, stumbling & stalling on upgrades - numerous threads, posts, questions, sos's and please help, etc. to the point of being hysterical with the rush. I have the good fortune of getting my hands on a brand new Nexus 5 with KitKat on it, so I have the side-by-side comparison. Yes, it has minor bugs and FC's just like all software releases & upgrades - it is new & different and everyone wants in.

Both the N7 (2012 and 2013) and N5 have new hardware & specs optimized by Google to run the latest OS, so it is smooth & cool - it's hard to quantify the subtle differences between 4.3 and 4.4 but it is there. Good news is that our devices are easy to unlock, root & install custom recoveries, and it is very much reversible - and we have easy access to factory images to bring it back to unrooted state, if necessary.

I got the OTA for N7 and managed to updated it, and some of the "old" settings & apps stayed even though some're designed for Jelly Beans. Adobe Flash is a big deal for many, luckily, I can still watch most streaming videos on the sites that I visit - and have several favorite browsers to choose from. Hangout integration is new & nice to some - it's fine, IMO and I will get use to it over time. Google Now is much better now but I turned off "Okay, Google ..." as I don't need active listening for hot words & chew up battery life, and toned down location services (minimal government & vendor tracking are my choices, ya know)

Embrace the changes coming, isn't that why we are hanging out here on XDA - and with the Gapps just out, others not running pure KitKat can update theirs more easily & restore some apps taken away - I missed the ASOP News & Weather but it's back now, as I'm going to leave mine 95% stock for now until the magical transformed custom roms get worked out.

To get the most of out KitKat, I strongly recommend (that's the path I took this past weekend) do a full backup (TB & CWM or TWRP) and save to external sources, then full wipe & install the latest factory image - starting clean & all over. It feel like a brand new device all over again, even though mine is about 11 months old now and I have plenty of SD storage space again - give me a chance to clean, archive and delete junks on it, and uninstall Apps that I no longer want/need/run/use/since merged, etc. Took a few hours to get it all done but worth it - I have run into few problems since and while benchmark scores aren't showing any difference (only latest stock rom & kernel) - it is "in the seat of the pants" as they say - it just feel right & good. Homescreen refresh seemed a notch slower, maybe - deal breaker, no way & probably the codes will be straighten out easily with the next minor OTA update/patch.

Google Wallet is ready and Tap & Pay is set to go, can't wait to try it out at McDonald (or, is it Starbuck) here in the US (only) to pay for that next cup of $1 coffee, XL. :silly: :D

One minor downside, I missed that dang tablet mode ... oh, well - can't have it all.

[Nexus 7 General] compact_bijou:
Yes, I noticed it about 1pm.
[Nexus 7 General] jegonzo3:
Mine just updated. I've been checking it on a daily basis.
[Nexus 7 General] pyatrus:
if you use SMS stay away from 4.4 (I wish I had!). :(

With 4.4, SMS messaging is now broken (due to Hangouts supposed to include SMS but does NOT).

I'm told SMS messaging was never an official part of Android tho I've been using it all of the time since 2.2 on orig Galaxy Tab.

I have the Nexus 7 (2012) 32 GB on T-Mobile w/the latest Android 4.4 bug-fix update: KRT16S.

Boy I do not like buggy, no choice, "push" updates -- and long for the good ol' days of 4.3 ! :)
[Nexus 7 General] hazwheel:
No, its not, on day 1 of release you got a 1% chance of getting it per day, then after time a 25% chance per day, then 50% and eventually it will be 100% chance per day. If you hit check and don't get it, you will NOT get it at all that day so waste of time keep hammering the check button. Location has nothing to do with it.

Pushed from me to thee

Hangouts DOES include SMS, I've been using it on my N4 from day one. Obviously it is not available on an N7 WiFi.

Just got 4.4.2 OTA (K0T49H). on a rooted N7-2013... not sure what all that involves... but I'm not expecting much apart from bug fixes. Gotta reinstall SU again... what a pain.
[Nexus 7 General] CatThief:
There's no way I'm installing this thing. App Ops for users was destroyed. I found out the hard way when I updated my Nexus 5. Google purposely removed access to it, even by the Lars Team's "App Ops" app, so anyone who wants it is screwed.

Also, if you made any changes in App Ops, the 4.2.2 update doesn't restore them by default. I checked. The data/system/appops.xml file remains untouched, so undo your experimental changes now or you'll need to resort to System Settings > Apps > Reset app preferences which will undo EVERYTHING.
[Nexus 7 General] Sau73:
Is it me or does 4.4.2 feel a bit less laggy than 4.4?
[Nexus 7 General] lekhwani:
Yeah. It's less laggy. Was contemplating 4.3.

But will test for a.while.
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
So google removed access to something they didn't give access to in the first place?
[Nexus 7 General] CatThief:
Well, there are many things to which Google does not provide access or else we wouldn't be rooting our devices. It's just nice to have one where modifying system files isn't necessary.
[Nexus 7 General] Starphish:
Apart from losing root on the OTA, it reinstalled stock recovery, bumping TWRP from my N7. Thank goodness there's Wug's Toolkit, since I'm re-rooting every two weeks. I'm not so sure the direct line to Google updates is helpful. Why must they revert root with upgrades. That's not happening with CM, etc.
[Nexus 7 General] Gordon586:
why i am not receive update

Got the update 4.4.2 today, TX.
[Nexus 7 General] aleksabl:
hi guys,

my device is nexus 7 3g, version number JWR66Y.

i have received notification about update to 4.4.2 several times and every time when i accept it reboots my device and opens twrp..

when i turn it on again, update is not installed?!

if i go to check system update it says that newest version is installed?!

can i get any advice about this problem?

thanks
[Nexus 7 General] Ohgami_Ichiro:
Has anyone had a problem where the Volume rocker will not work properly and the Sound gets messed up a bit. It goes back to normal after a reboot but it's kind of annoying when it happens.
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
The device does not come rooted therefore don't expect an ota to remain rooted.
[Nexus 7 General] Miami_Son:
Same here. Not much different from what I can tell.
[Nexus 7 General] holysmokesbatty:
Since it will be a properly signed update the most you'll have to do is rename it to update.zip, boot into recovery and flash it that way. Make sure you also have it at the root of your internal storage.

[Nexus 7 General] lordneopt:
You cant flash an OTA with TWRP or CWM. You need the stock recovery.

You can however get the OTA and flash it manualy (adb sideload).
[Nexus 7 General] Ben Ling:
But what do you mean by have it at the root of your internal storage ?

That one running 4.2.2 also rooted,with TWRP and locked boot loader.

While the 4.3 rooted and with locked bootloader only.

---------- Post added 14th November 2013 at 12:03 AM ---------- Previous post was 13th November 2013 at 11:58 PM ----------

But at the software update,it says reboot and install,so I click it,and it tooks me to TWRP and do nothing.

So how do I get back to stock recovery ?

And how to adb sideload ?

I don't want to lose data...
[Nexus 7 General] lordneopt:
Why wont you flash the stock recovery? Or better, flash the factory image all along.

However if you want to take the hard path you just have to get into fastboot mode and flash the stock recovery manualy. Then get into the system and flash the OTA zip normaly.
[Nexus 7 General] perhac89:
Does this OTA from Android Police KRT16O work on 2012 N7's? I havent been able to get it to install yet. I tried through trwp and get errors.

Edit: I have a 2012 Wifi only N7
[Nexus 7 General] brakke97:
Oh jeez, people. How difficult is it to insert that command and share the OTA url? :mad:
[Nexus 7 General] Gryphie:
Doesn't work, need the one for nexus 7 2012.
[Nexus 7 General] Longi94:
very difficult, since noone with a 2012 nexus 7 received the update yet
[Nexus 7 General] arkhan11:
you can flash stock signed ota zip via twrp (tested) or cmw (I guess). remember to update root if any.

but remember this can be done ONLY if you are STOCK. you can't update any custom rom with stock OTA.

if you run into issues, flash 4.3 factory images via fastboot. you can always root it later again (i.e. to restore titanium backups). no need to lock bootloader again. if you need guide check 'my devices' link below (scroll down) or xda N7 REF.

don't know if 4.4 is root-able ATM, though. not interested in it right now.
[Nexus 7 General] holysmokesbatty:
Great question, let us know when you do it. It's just as easy for you as everyone else.
[Nexus 7 General] xupzup:
I'm not as experienced and knowledgeable as you guys. Please tell me if I can download the OTA update from the links soon to be provided :D and install it using CWM. My nexus currently runs stock 4.2.2 rooted, boot unlocked and CWM installed. I remember when the 4.3 OTA arrived it asked to reboot to finish installing but then it showed some error message and CWM showed up, will that happen again if I downloaded the 4.4 and installed using CWM? What do I need to do please tell me:confused:
[Nexus 7 General] issak42:
Don't get mad, please! So much pressure! It's not hard, it's just that no one seems to have gotten it yet. Google wants us to ditch the Nexus 7.1 and jump the Nexus 7.2 ship!
[Nexus 7 General] goraps:
I am not sure this would work since I flashed back to stock. Also the data is too long for my command prompt. Is there a way to save it to a file?

To bring us back on topic, I can vouch that at least I have my N7 plugged into my computer with a logcat running, as well as another command window open for the dropbox dialog.

I'm checking the logcat every few minutes in case it does a background download. If I see it before anybody else does, I'll post it within minutes.
[Nexus 7 General] MWFD:
How soon after the OTA file becomes available/is posted for the original Nexus 7 (2012) should we see a root method or update.zip file that is already rooted? Also, any guesses on the turnaround time for newest version of CyanogenMod? Think it will be possible to be able to install a 4.4 update.zip without flashing back to stock? I am running CM 10.2 now and am wondering how likely it is that I will be able to just wipe data without flashing stock ROM/recovery via fastboot.
[Nexus 7 General] KiNG OMaR:
You know you can just flash the latest supersu.zip via recovery after applying the OTA.

Personally, I would just flash the 4.3 factory image (if I wasn't already on stock 4.3) and apply the OTA as soon as a link becomes available.
[Nexus 7 General] brakke97:
Probably 2 or 3 hours after the first OTA update. BTW there's already a 4.4 root method. :)
[Nexus 7 General] gk1984:
Woah.... slow down buddy! we haven't even gotten it yet. I suspect a root zip or pre-rooted ROM would be available within a few hours of the OTA being made available, but because people have jobs and other obligations, be patient. Could be a day, few days, who knows. CM is already building CM11 which is KitKat and I'm not sure how much they need from the OTA to be compatible since the 4.4 source is already available on AOSP and that's what CM is based on. If you wanna keep CM, then watch for their updates rather than the official OTA.
[Nexus 7 General] MWFD:
Thanks for the quick replies guys, I've also made some adjustments to my N7 using XPosed Framework/XBlast Tools module. Regardless or whether I decide to flash the 4.3 factory image first or wait for a method to upgrade from 4.3 running CM 10.2, will I need to revert these adjustments I made using XBlast tools like status bar background color, notification panel background color? I'm also trying to be able to update to 4.4 without the need for a computer. I would like to be able to do everything through CWM if possible.
[Nexus 7 General] issak42:
If you want to install OTA update (or any update, that is not full rom, but an update), you need to be stock before already, the update script check for checksums of every single file in existence and if one is off, OTA fails. CM is not stock. update will fail.
[Nexus 7 General] r-l:
