The latest factory images contained some 'broken' bootloaders, there is already a post (8 or 9 before yours) stating / explaining that problem. In addition there is a thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48555890 treating this problem and how to solve it: get the bootloader from a different factory image and install that bootloader.

I think is much faster, but maybe it is because I did clean install, and now I have Android 4.4.3 with F2FS

superfast :)

Hi, riot1031...

To add to [MENTION=2188693]AndDiSa[/MENTION]'s post, you can get a copy of the v4.23 bootloader that fastboot flashes without problems, from the very first post in this thread...

[GUIDE] Flashing a Factory Image with fastboot/return to stock

.

...(first paragraph, at the top, highlighted in red).

It's in a compressed .gz file format, so you'll need to uncompress it first, before you can use it.

This is the version of the v4.23 bootloader I use, and I've just test fastboot flashed it again... and it flashed without error:).

Rgrds,

Ged.
[Nexus 7 General] riot1031:
Thanks guys, that worked!!
[Nexus 7 General] brizey:
How did you do this? Is there a TWRP/CWM zip for the stock ROM yet? If you just fastboot flashed the image files they will be ext4 since image flashing includes the filesystem. I would think you would need a recovery flashable zip that does all of the permission setting, etc.

Finally getting OTA from UK.
[Nexus 7 General] Laugher19:
Is it the 3g or wifi nexus 7?
[Nexus 7 General] willverduzco:
Apparently both, as Tassadar was able to mirror the OTAs for both variants.

Still no filename for a direct OTA link, but if you're dying to update, this is a great option, especially since install-time signature verification ensures that it's the real deal.
[Nexus 7 General] Winesnob:
I don't think these are OTA files - the file size is 362MB, which is the size of the factory image. Other OTA files for 4.4.3 are less than 100MB.
[Nexus 7 General] willverduzco:
Hmm you are correct. Just downloaded the files and they are indeed the factory images.

I have my nexus 7 2013 rooted with just stock recovery... Does anyone know if 4.4.3 update will kill root even for stock?

OTAs always kill root. Just re-flash superuser zip afterwards.

[Nexus 7 General] Ja_som:
Only data... if you want to use as all-f2fs you need to convert it, as you wrote. But if I understand it correctly you can't do it with stock ROM.

HERE is script to convert ROM to all f2fs, where is written:

If you want only data f2fs you don't need to convert ROM.

So data f2fs is enough for me :)

[Nexus 7 General] dalanik:
Can anyone put a mini-guide how to update without losing data? I have rooted 4.4.2, Wi-Fi version. no OTA yet. Would prefer if I could just flash something without losing data and without re-rooting.... possible?
[Nexus 7 General] Ja_som:
Yes, possible, but you need to wait for OTA.
[Nexus 7 General] gsmyth:
Just flash the below ROM via recovery (CWM/TWRP), its rooted stock 4.4.3. :good: :)

Wipe cache and dalvik cache, then flash the ROM, you won't lose any data or settings. I updated using this the other day and its great, definitely a bit smoother, considering it can sometimes be a bit of a placebo when wiping and flashing updates, as I only wiped cache/dalvik.

[Nexus 7 General] dalanik:
I tried but "adb reboot fastboot" only reboots the device? shouldn't it be fastboot reboot-bootloader or something else? because the command only standardly reboots the device....

Also, what about flashing the new bootloader with "fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-4.23.img" ?
[Nexus 7 General] etsch:
Yes you're right. Sorry.

Gesendet von meinem HTC One mit Tapatalk
[Nexus 7 General] dalanik:
OK, here's the complete procedure :)

* make sure you have drivers and SDK (adb/fastboot)

* go to adb/fastboot folder and connect your device (in SDK\platform tools)

* check connection:

- adb devices

* if your device is listed:

- adb reboot-bootloader

* check fastboot:

- fastboot devices

* if OK, proceed with flash:

- fastboot flash bootloader c:\a\bootloader-grouper-4.23.img

- fastboot flash boot c:\a\boot.img

- fastboot flash system c:\a\system.img

- fastboot reboot-bootloader

- fastboot flash recovery c:\a\openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-grouper.img

- fastboot reboot

Then boot to recovery and flash SU_UPDATE.zip:

* connect your device again to pc

- adb devices

* if it lists your device, reboot to recovery:

- adb reboot recovery

* it reboots to TWRP and from there flash SU

DOne!

I upgraded TWRP to 2.7.1.0, then used fastboot to flash only the boot and system images, then cleared cache & dalvik. Then let TWRP automatically update superSU. Reboot and done.

So far so good on 4.4.3.
[Nexus 7 General] syamkumar.tpl:
Updated to twrp 2.7.1.1
[Nexus 7 General] deny_kei:
anyone who update to 4.4.3 nakasi please share, is the wifi fix? Ive been flashing around every rom with no luck with my unstable wifi. Is the image file 363 mb safe to proceed via adb. Sorry for asking this question as i desperetly need my wifi fix. Thanks in advance
[Nexus 7 General] cheesy poof:
Just finished upgrading. Used adb with the nakasi-ktu84l-factory-0e21238f.tgz file directly from google (363mb). Unzipped everything and opened the flash-all.bat file in a text editor and ran the commands by hand. Flashing the bootloader I did get this message: FAILED (remote: (InvalidState)) turns out I was already on version 4.23, so continued on. I did use the latest twrp 2.7.1.1 img which did all the supersu root stuff for me. So far seems good, no wifi issues but didn't really have any before.

My WiFi was also unstable but on 4.4.3 I don't have problems so far

Yes. That was the reason why I didn't used it on 4.4.2 but with a stable WiFi I use it often

I updated manually just yesterday.

Plug your N7 into PC

Extract the KTU84L factory image > open folder > open second folder - this is where the bootloader-grouper-4.23 is, but you are already there (as was I)

Extract the image-nakasi-ktu84l.zip >open the image-nakasi-ktu84l folder - here are the bits you need to flash: boot.img & system.img

Open your command prompt.

adb devices

You should get a return if you are connected.

adb reboot fastboot

wait for reboot

fastboot devices

You should get a return if you are in fastboot mode. Do a visual inspection to ensure you are at bootloader 4.23 in the text area of fastboot screen. Yes to all? Proceed.

fastboot flash boot <filepath>\boot.img

Wait for it to finish.

fastboot flash system <filepath>\system.img

Wait for it to finish.

fastboot reboot

Next - and I feel this is very important for those starting out flashing - do yourself a tremendous favor and download/install the Wugfresh Nexus Root Toolkit. http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/

Install the toolkit > at the prompt enter your device type and OS version > let the toolkit update all the files it needs

Use the button for Root and check (enable) the Custom Recovery option.

Anyone got the OTA in the UK yet?

My N7 isn't rooted, as it breaks my online TV app, otherwise I'd have done it last week.
[Nexus 7 General] RumoredNow:
Is it a WiFi only N7 2012? (AKA grouper or nakasi)

If so NOONE has seen an OTA. Only the WiFi + 3G N7 2012 (AKA tilapia or nakasig) has gotten the OTA.

Except for nakasi, all other Nexus 7, Nexus 10, Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 variants seem to have gotten the OTA. Except for the LG G Pad 8.3, all other Google Edition devices seem to have gotten the OTA. Now some non-Google devices are getting a 4.4.3 OTA (like the Lenovo Vibe Z and the Motorola Moto X or Moto G).

If you have nakasi N7, it looks like no OTA is coming... I hope I'm wrong...
[Nexus 7 General] GedBlake:
Indeed...:).

It is most peculiar, this delay or lack of an appearance of the 4.4.3 OTA for nakasi.

It's been over a week now, since the full factory image was released (which I fastboot flashed without problems, the day after I downloaded it)... but yet, and as you say, all the devices you mention seem to have it or are currently in the process of getting it... but not nakasi devices:confused:.

It's been speculated elsewhere, that the delay may be due to some bug or problem with 4.4.3, that Google need to fix. But that argument doesn't really stand up, because the full factory image works fine... well, it does on my N7 anyway:).

Maybe Google just forgot!... I can just envisage it languishing on a server somewhere, with a StickyNote pasted on somebodies workstation... "Don't forget to push out that KTU84L OTA for grouper tonight"... Google technician responsible goes home early with a headache; and nobody bothers checking the following day:).

Of course, this entirely fictional narrative probably bears absolutely no resemblace whatsoever to how Google actually do these things... I suspect (and I hope) there is a more rigorous and robust procedure in place for pushing out OTA's.

Still, it is puzzling...:confused:.

Rgrds,

Ged.
[Nexus 7 General] warface:

Not got the update yet in Wales. I have the original 8GB model
[Nexus 7 General] RumoredNow:
There are absolutely ZERO confirmed reports of an OTA update for Nexus 7 2012 WiFi only. It seems that an Over The Air update for your 8GB model will never come.

There are other ways to get the update with loosing data. Or you could download the Factory Image for 4.4.3 and flash the upgrade. You would loose progress in games and any files not backed up on your PC or the cloud.

If you need help with any of that, write back here with model specifics and include any mods you have made.

At the least you will need to unlock your bootloader which will wipe your data if you've not already unlocked it.

It seems I have the worst luck with ADB and Fastboot with my 2012 N7. It seems drivers are never right and no amount of tutorials I follow or toolkits I use it never works out. On a rare occasion it seems that it will work by nothing short of magic but the very next time I try I will be greeted by the same driver errors as before. No problems with my 2013 N7 or M8. Very frustrating know it would only take me a couple minutes to update through fastboot.

upgrade to 4.4.3 easy mode

For those un-familiarly with ADB shell.Here is the easy mode.

1. make sure Asus/nexus USB drivers and ADB interface drivers installed. use NRT Nexus root toolkit 1.83 Drivers step by step install guide and test !

2. Download attached file and unrar it to a directory.

boot nexus 7 to Fastboot mode, USB debug mode ON. connect tablet to PC.

3. Download nexus 7 factory image correspond version for your deviceWIFI or 3G/wifi.

unrar the .tgz file, then unzip the .image-nakasi(g)-ktu84l.zip to same directory of flashing tool.

4. Run fastbootflasherv2eng.exe check the LEFT Recovery,Boot,System box, uncheck Erase .

5. Click Right Recovery button and point to the unziped recovery.img file, Boot button : boot.img, System button : system.img

6. Click Run.

7. Wait nexus 7 restart and updating APPs. after Complete boot up. your tablet is updated!

All App and user data untouched.

Use Cf-Autoroot root it again.

If you can not find SuperSU APP after root, install it from google PLAY.

If you need TWRP/CWM recovery, use NRT 1.83 flash it.

I suppose this is how they wean a device off of updates. Make a factory image available for the most devoted fans and then stop them all together at the next update. I love how Google has absolutely no customer service or information regarding updates. Could you imagine Apple doing this?
[Nexus 7 General] AndDiSa:
Probably they stopped the roll out due to some security issues which need to be fixed (I.e. futex-problem) and there will be 4.4.4 directly.

It's not only the debuggerd which may cause problems, but any file which is no longer the original one. Status 7 indicates precondition failure(s), so you need to update manually. The OTA will not work for you.
