Unlocking bootloader wipes data. Flashing system and boot won't . But, sometimes device won't boot if data is not wiped. Now, as i wage lurking around for a solution or rooting and wipe data, I'm much closer to 2nd solution.

I installed the OTA and I don't know what happened, I got stuck on the Kitkat logo screen (boot animation). I am unlocked and have CWM installed. Now I can't get past that screen. I can access adb and also CWM recovery.

I am also planning to try this method now. Is it okay if I have CWM Recovery installed? Do I have to remove it in order for this to work?

Not sure if it would make a big difference, it will probably give me a different error once I try to update to 4.4 again.

Which factory image should I download? Is it the kit Kat one?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slif24:
No. "userdata.img" wipes your data. I had that fear, but no problem.

The Factory Image include 4 files: boot.img, system.img, userdata.img (this wipes your data) and recovery.img (if you use a Custom Recovery, you don't have to flash this, if you don't, you must to flash it. In addition, your recovery isn't important. You only have to reboot your device in bootloader mode (Turn on pressing Power+VolUp+VolDown) and connect it to your PC. Finally you have tu follow the steps. Simply and clear. Your device has been updated.

You must to download KitKat image.

For some reason I lost root, but my nexus 7 is still unlocked so I can root again using root tool kit.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slif24:
I have the same problem. I've tried to flash it from Custom Recovery (TWRP) and no root. I'm investigating that. I post if I found a solution. Recovery maybe the guilty.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazzruby:
You lost root because you flashed a system image which totally wipes the current system partition where your root (su) and Superuser/SuperSU were located.

After fastboot flashing the boot and system images just reboot to recovery from the bootloader (before booting into system) and flash Superuser | SuperSU.

-JR-
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoldenNexus7:
Well, how may I reflash super user/supersu? Is it a zip that is located in my nexus 7 's storage?

And let me finally get this straight, fast booting is a more easier and safe way to flash something right?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbi897:
I am also running into the "bootanimation" issue. :(

Prior to 4.3, I had CWM and root. The upgrade to 4.3 seem to have removed both CWM and root.

I think, the bootloader is still unlocked. Both OTA and sideload are failing.

Yet to try flashing the individual .img files.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoldenNexus7:
Quite surprised that this is happening to a lot of people, this flash in recovery problem.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoldenNexus7:
OK it didn't work, can someone send me a copy of the bootanimation.zip on a working android 4.4 nexus 7 please, all I need is the one that the android,4.4 update recognizes please help me. My nexus 7 somehow lost internet connection with some websites and some apps such as YouTube app and Google Play app, the browser issues are that I can't download any files and I couldn't go to any website after typing into the address bar. I could however go to Google.com and go to other websites by using Google but they don't t function correctly. This is weird, I had fully working internet support 2 or 3 days ago but I did something with updating and custom recovery not sure what but I suspect the 4.4 update will fix that.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoldenNexus7:
OK THIS IS IT, I'M SICK AND TIRED OF MY NEXUS 7 2012 RUNNING INTO THE DIFFERENT ERRORS AFTER EACH TIME I FIX THE CURRENT FLASH ERROR. Can someone please explain these horrid chains of events for me? I'm seriously,at the brink of resetting my device. NOT ONLY IS THE 4.4 UPDATE WORKING BUT SOME OF MY APPS CAN'T CONNECT TO THE INTERNET ALSO. SUCH AS YOUTUBE APP AND GOOGLE PLAY APP. All I want to do is upgrade my android to 4.4. The internet issue is also a headache and yes I've correctly reseted my router numerous times. The current flash error after the boot animation one is framework.core.odex or something like that. Please try to help me.

Can someone help me?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazzruby:
Hi GoldenNexus7,

I feel your frustration and can almost picture you banging your head, but fear not, resolution and resolve is just ahead.

The errors you are seeing may actually be caused by an older custom recovery; it is essential you have an updated recovery to flash Android 4.4.

At this point it is probably better to flash a factory image so I will post links for you to complete the process.

Factory Images for Nexus 7:

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasi

Custom Recoveries:

CWMR - http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager

TWRP - http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/grouper

TWRP - http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/tilapia

Superuser:

Chainfire's SuperSU - http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu

Koush's - Superuser - http://download.clockworkmod.com/superuser/superuser.zip

In case your curious; I use TWRP v2.6.3.0 and SuperSU

You'll also need the latest ADB/Fastboot and USB drivers if you don't already have them installed.

Platform-Tools (ADB/Fastboot) - https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r19-windows.zip

USB driver files - https://dl.google.com/android/repository/latest_usb_driver_windows.zip

I know the above may seem like alot of work but it's really not; it consists of extracting the ADB/USB drivers to a common folder and then installing/registering, copying/pushing the Superuser flashable ZIP to your device and finally run some commands from a command prompt. If you complete this you will have better knowledge and be able to recover from nearly any mishaps on your device.

If you want to proceed post back with what you have so far, e.g. is ADB installed, which device (grouper/nakasi or tilapia/nakasig) which recovery, etc... and I'll update this post with further instructions.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xateeq:
If the problem is not resolved yet then i might be able to help.

The failed message is there because ur trying to flash OTA and OTA always check for system and every thing and if it is not 100% stock then OTA will give failed message.

Simple workaround is download flsahable stock 4.4 from development section and also download the latest bootlaoder and update ur recovery (i tried with twrp) adn first flsah bootloader and then rom like any other wipe is needed and cache and delvik too and volla simple and easy solution to go to android 4.4.

FYI latest recovery is a must.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoldenNexus7:
OK, thank you guys, so to my understanding, I need the latest tarp and cwm installed right. Most of the time I was using the recovery images from the Recovery Tools app, I guess that didn't flash the latest versions. So I guess I'll try the newer version.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoldenNexus7:
Wait, if I flash the boot loader I'm basically updating it right, how do I do it, does it come in a flashable zip?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xateeq:
Yes bootloader is available in zip. but i would recommend you to downlaod toolkit and update ur device usigng official stock image all thigns u need will be installed automatically :D
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazzruby:
Hi SSyar,

It doesn't matter which Android version or recovery you have as we'll be flashing a complete OS/Image, e.g. boot, recovery, system, etc...

Since your bootloader is locked you will lose all data including e.g. docs, pics, music, videos, etc... when unlocking, so back up anything you want to keep and you can restore later.

Do you have ADB/Fastboot installed and can access the device? If no, then what OS (PC/Laptop) are you working from?

It's not really much different from having a nandroid backup though. I assume you're trying to mitigate issues by flashing mods and breaking the ROM? Because that is the only thing this helps with and no more so than a Nandroid backup would.

That is a bug everyone has been experiencing since 4.2's bring up. Is it also on CM by any chance?

If you remove the external sdcard does it let you open gallery?

If so, you'll have to move everything from the internal sdcard to a computer, and then format the internal.

Have tried uninstall: reinstall but no luck.

This was done as a clean flash. Wiped the hole dern thing with cwm 6.0.3.8 before flashing.

I'm not quite sure about the xposed exploit your talking about.

The Google launcher now takes you to Google now settings. If you don't like it, download Nova or apex launcher. I know for sure nova restored this.

Fibers was brought over. You don't see it?

Now Netflix I'm not sure about. I don't know what is up with it as I don't use it. Maybe it's the internet speed? I'm thinking it's a playback issue and I get it in certain apps. If that's the issue, it has to do with hardware decoder and I'm doing a bit of research.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ggarcia1:
I'll give Nova a shot. Thanks!

As for the fibers, yes I do see them, just way less of them than on the last jb carbon. Was just wondering how far into customization this version would go or if that is something that happens after beta... ? IDK...
