To anyone having problems with debuggerd not allowing update.

I ran into the same problem due to StickMount App altering system files.

Copy the debuggerd file, from post's here, didn't work. Because I think the build.prop file was altered too.

My solution was to use Nexus Root Toolkit to flash the system image only from 4.3 to my nexus 7.

Then the update worked for me. Lost root in the process and the supersu app. Easily rooted again with the toolkit and flashed the most recent supersu zip file to my device.

Unfortunately "Stickmount" is now broken in 4.4. So anyone who use's that consider waiting to update, until it's fixed.

Hope this post is helpful to someone else.

I was about to ask the same question +1
[Nexus 7 General] GedBlake:
Hi, qaz2453...

There are two ways you could go...

Either...

...fastboot flash back to factory stock Jellybean 4.3 (build JWR66Y), available

here

and then apply the OTA update via stock recovery with ADB... or fastboot flash a Custom Recovery (TWRP or CWM) and then apply the OTA via that Custom Recovery.

Or...

...wait for Google to add the full Android 4.4 KitKat factory image to their developers page

here

and then fastboot flash it.

Either way, the currently available OTA isn't going to be of much use to you, as you're running a Custom ROM. If you attempt to flash the OTA, it will abort almost immediately.

So in preparation, you need to start backing up all your apps with Titanium, and offload everything to an external location, such as your PC... as fastboot flashing back to factory stock will effectively wipe everything on your Nexus 7.

Rgrds,

Ged.

Yeah... that's the OTA. Which I already have and have flashed. But I'm also looking to download the full factory image... which for some bizzare reason is available, and yet isn't:confused:.

Just had a close look at the URL, thinking Google may have made a typo...

http://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/nakasi-krt16o-factory-db4a1a8a.tgz

Tried modifying the obvious, the krt16o into krt160... but all to no avail:(. Maybe it's some letter or number in the db4a1a8a part that's wrong... or perhaps Google haven't actually uploaded it yet. But the link has been up now for a good two hours.

According to Wikipedia, a 404 error is...

"The 404 or Not Found error message is a HTTP standard response code indicating that the client was able to communicate with the server, but the server could not find what was requested."

So clearly the above URL is pointing to something that simply doesn't exist... either that, or the URL is wrong.

Very puzzling this.

Just tried again before hitting the submit button on this post.... and it's still showing a 404 error.

Hi, qaz2453...

Sorry, I was going to get back to you with your earlier question... but I got sidetracked with all of this 404 error message stuff.

------------

Yes.

I've never bothered with stock rooted ROMs myself, prefering instead to do my own rooting... but I suppose if a stock rooted ROM (such as 4.4 KitKat) can be considered a special case of a Custom ROM, then yes, you would just flash it in TWRP or CWM... much like you would any other Custom ROM.

The only downside with this, is you've got to wait for a developer to produce such a ROM... which might be tomorrow, next week or next month. Once the full factory image does eventually become available (bizarre 404 errors aside), I imagine it won't be too long before a developer makes available a rooted KitKat 4.4 flashable .zip.

I think it's not a matter of ram. It would have no sense to optimize the OS for devices with 512MB of ram and require 1GB for Art. Maybe art is not included in 4.4 for n7 2012 because this is its latest official update. Don't think it will see any official android update with a stable art version.

[Nexus 7 General] GedBlake:
Hi, richfreestone...

Don't know about Root Browser, but most root capable file managers have some option in settings, along the lines of "set system as mount writable" before you can write anything to /system. System, by default (even with root) is naturally set as read-only... if it where otherwise, it would be all too easy for a root capable file manager to inadvertantly cause some potentially disastrous mistake.

[Nexus 7 General] GedBlake:
Can't you just re-root again? Download

[Nexus 7 General] droid_1989:
Doesn't work, errors.
[Nexus 7 General] GedBlake:
Could you be more specific? What kind of errors? Flashing Chainfires SuperSU root package should be pretty straightforward. If you can't get root access, you cannot push the debuggered file into /system/bin... and without that, the OTA won't work.

So regaining root here is critical... otherwise you'll have to fastboot flash back to factory stock, with the full wipe that that entails.

Rgrds,

Ged.

It shouldn't be Android Device but Android-adb device or so as I remember.

When you see the android with the sign on it, press power+up to get into the recovery menu. Using the volume keys, choose "sideload from adb"

Then, on your computer with ADB, do "adb sideload Path/To/OTA/.

Sent from my HTCONE using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
[Nexus 7 General] brizey:
Having a custom recovery and root access are two completely separate things on a device with an unlocked bootloader. You can flash anything with an unlocked bootloader. You unlock. Then flash the recovery. Then reboot to the recovery. Heck, you don't even have to flash the recovery, you can just boot to the recovery image.

Edit: On a locked up device, it's often easier to obtain root then flash the recovery while booted into the system. That's why the two are often intermingled. But it's really two different things.
