I understand that.

From where I'm coming from, rooting did not ruin OTA updates for me.

My setup is always like this:

- Stock OS

- TWRP Custom Recovery

- SuperSu.zip (Whatever is available)

I would always update through OTA, and of course, I'd loose TWRP and su binary. I'd just repeat the process of flashing TWRP and installing the zip file through TWRP.

For the 5.0 official release, I'm still waiting of any documentations aside from the one Chainfire posted which is to flash a patched image file (I think) which is a more cumulative way of doing things rather than modular as the steps that I always do.

Chainfire told me on succeeding messages in Twitter that this process is still not confirmed to break future OTA updates, and future updates will just tell us if it will or not. It was just his assumption.

I'm more hopeful that if the end result of flashing the image file is just the same as installing the zip file from TWRP, then we'd still get OTA updates on rooted device.

Just wishful thinking.

No need to wait, double tap has been available on this device since August 2013.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mjones73:
I didn't have to wait long, using yours. I had your kernel on 4.4.4, didn't want to give up the double tap.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] stlrnz:
I've flashed the Stock images files manually:

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-flo-flo-04.04.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img

So I've flashed all images except userdata. The Nexus 7 booted up and all my data is still there.

But now I wonder if there is something missing by not flashing userdata.img. Does anybody know?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ritchea:
If everything is working, no problem. I wasn't so lucky. After doing what you did, I had issues (was on latest preview) so flashed all the images and no problems.

Hello everyone.. I saw on google's site that some Nexus 7 Wi-fi (2013) binaries for Lollipop are out. can anyone explain me please how to flash/install them or if do I really need them installed.

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] neo5468:
I tried restarting it, but it still says no fix. What should I do? I flashed factory image via adb, and rooted with cf autoroot. Everything seems to be working fine, except gps. But funny enough, when I click Google Maps, and I click "show my location" button, it shows my correct location with that blue dot. Wtf?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] fury683:
Just posting what I did for reference to others..

I downloaded the factory image, unpacked and edited the batch file to take out the -w flag (it's near the end of the file, which is only a few links long). Opened a command line in my ADB folder and ensured the device was recognized by the computer (drivers), used ADB to reboot to the bootloader. Ran the batch file which took 65 seconds to flash everything and it rebooted into Android. Took a while to optimize all the applications (maybe 5-10 minutes? I was making dinner at that point so wasn't paying close attention) and booted into Android L with all my apps/data still in order. I downloaded the Chainfire Auto Root tool and followed the instructions for that, which worked very well and root was retained.

Unfortunately I uninstalled Xposed (was really only using tweaks with Gravity Box on my N7, use a lot more modules on my Moto X), and verified that other root apps were working properly.

Lollipop is petty dang cool. Wish it had a dark mode for menus and such, though. Can't wait for it on my Moto X...
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jwadejr9:
Ok, don't know if I am doing something wrong or not but I can't get this to work for the life of me. I have flashed everything manually in fastboot MULTIPLE times. MD5 matches as well. When it boots up, it is a black screen with the back button down bottom. Additionally, the notification drawer pulls down but there is access to absolutely nothing. the only thing that I can do is power off. I can then boot into bootloader but if I try to boot into recovery it gives me the android on his back with an exclamation point. I have no clue what is wrong. Everything flashed successfully and like I said the md5 matches. is one of the files corrupted possibly? any ideas? thanks guys.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] trungnghia:

The dead Android in recovery is normal. Hold the power button and tab the volume up button to get the recovery menu.

As for the rest... try downloading again? I know you said the hash it good, but it can't hurt. Did you wipe your user data? You could try using the batch file and remove the -w flag if you don't want to lose any apps/data. That's what I did (described a few posts up) and it worked. Took all of 65 seconds to flash everything.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] FoulDroid:
Lollipop installed, SuperSU v2.20 installed but many roots app refuse to work... Helium, GameSpector, Dsploit, Freedom etc... Any advices ?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ritchea:
Sorry for repetition. Didn't see Fury683 response.

NRT should help you get a good flash. The Andy you are getting is the screen to access stock recovery. Go back to it. Touch the vol+ plus power AT THE SAME TIME, release after 3-5 seconds to see if recovery opens. It's unnecessarily tricky. You can also find videos on YouTube that show this including a newer one about side loading N7 OTA.zip. When you get to recovery, try a wipe and reset. Not sure exactly what the options are as I flash custom recovery right after system upgrades.

---------- Post added at 12:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 PM ----------

I assume the binaries ran correctly. Flash the PIE fix. Although, developers are turning out updates for L fairly quickly. Titanium BU has shown up.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] FoulDroid:
PIE Fix ???

I think i must be patient and wait for next SuperSU Update ;)

Thx anyway :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ritchea:
That's good info for others. I only needed ESFile Manager and QuickBoot to get more root permissions and PIE worked.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] aku69:
I'm not as skilled as many of you but I can follow instructions, My nexus 7 had been factory restored and was on 4.4.4. I followed the instructions on page 3; copying a few files, extracting the update and clicking on the batch file. All seemed fine but after waiting 30 minutes for it to "finish" booting, I figured I was screwed.

I'd have to learn how to use TWRP or how to recover using the default recovery. I figured while I researched I would try the default recovery, ie Power button and down volume. I went into recovery mode and did a wipe, a few errors, and then the reboot while I went about researching TWRP, the N7 still stuck on boot screen. About 8 minutes later I got the Welcome screen and all seems fine.

Not sure what I did or why it failed the first time but is now working. Something for you guys to try in case you get unlucky like myself and get stuck.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] FoulDroid:
Could you explain?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ritchea:
I'm not sure what you're asking. I had used L preview previously which would not accept root due to locked down permissions. Several developers (one was chainfire) posted kernels that allowed more access to the system components and thus allowed root. Some of my root apps (stickmount, ROM toolbox) then worked with SuperSU. Titanium, QuickBoot Reboot, and ESFile Explorer did not accept root. After flashing official L, SuperSu couldn't run binaries. I used AutoRoot and got the partial root. I found PIE fix and got full access to the other apps mentioned. The only other root app I need that doesn't work with L is Aldiko Sync. (Well, I can't even get RomToolbox installed on this version of L.)

I have early batch with bad GPS.

I could improve the signal strength and it's accuracy by slipping a piece of paper underneath the gps sensor as shown by many videos instructions on YouTube.

But after sometime, it would be bad again and need readjustment.

So, I am thinking to replace the back cover to fix this issue permanently.

Would this be the solution?

Anyone has done this before?

My N5 had a bad GPS. It was incredibly frustrating tyring to navigate anywhere. I called Google customer service. They went through some trouble shooting formalities and my phone was found to be defective. They had me put my N5 in safe mode and activate 'GPS only'. I wasn't surprised that my phone never found a signal. The replacement phone works perfectly. Signal locks are fast and navigation is spot on. Basically it's how you'd want your GPS to work. So if i were you. I'd get it replaced.

You do not need a 5.0 kernel for the G2, older devices have newer versions of android w/o having the corresponding source. I'm using 4.4.4 on my Galaxy S1 just like my G2 (except the S1 obviously didn't receive 4.4.x).

Hi guys,

something really odd just happened. I have a rooted deviced - I rooted as soon as I received it - and it's been fine till yesterday when I installed the latest update 11.0-XNPH44S and all of a sudden it seems I have lost my root privileges, it's like I am not root anymore and none of the apps requiring root run anymore even SuperSU is telling me that "there is no SU binary installed and SuperSu cannot install it. This is a problem! If you just upgraded to android 4.3 you need to manually re-root!" What on earth is going on?!?!

That's completely normal, OTA updates remove root. Just flash SuperSU again and you'll be golden.

So, after reading through all the issues some of us have had on these cards..... I was feeling pretty darn good about myself, as I had none.... Well, I have since swapped to a new phone. I now have 2 micro sd cards that can not be reformatted in anyway shape or form.... I have tried (I think), just about all tricks and software. The big question that I'm unsure if anyone has asked is, does anyone think these can be locked by the Kitkat upgrade some of us did? It just strikes me a little odd that, nothing I do will allow me to clean these cards. I have a new card in, and I'm able to read and write like normal. But I'm sure there's something I'm missing.

I disconnected the card and when i pressed the power button continued to have multiple restarts. After a lot of search on the internet , i boot it into downloading mode (volume down + power button +home button simultaneously) and download this file "clockworkmod-5.0.2.8.tar.md5" with odin. Download was successfull but when i try to insert into recovery mode (volume up + home + power button simultaneously ) the phone does not correspond. I downloaded and a second file (recovery-cmw-hercules.tar ) with odin, download was successfull but still can't insert into recovery mode. Also, because i wasn't sure about what iam doing, i did the download procedure more than one time. Now when i insert into downloading mode i see this:

Hi,

I wanted to flash the just released lollipop image so I unlocked my phone and updated TWRP from 2.8.0.1 to 2.8.1.0. Then I started Recovery and it was doing some werid thing in a list (was too fast), then rebooted. Recovery came up again (only the image of TWRP) and a restart again. Since then always when I try to go into recovery the starting image will show up, after 2-3 secs it gets black for half a second, then the image will show up again. This is a permanent loop. I flashed back to the old recovery but nnothing, still the same (and this one worked before!).

Hopefully someone of you knows whats wrong.

Thanks,

So we can't navigate in the stock recovery anymore ?
