I've bought my son and daughter a nexus 7 each for Christmas.
His upgraded over the air fine, hers downloaded the firmware, rebooted and the installation started.
After a couple of minutes the Android fell over with a red exclamation mark.
I've tried forcing the upgrade and the same happened.
Any ideas how to upgrade her nexus 7?
Thanks

I have the same problem.
Hey guys,
I made an account just to post this, however it was all done my G2 so I apologize for poor formatting and/or not completely clear instructions. This issue has kept me up for hours upon hours, and I finally figured out how to fix it. The issue apparently has something to do with the way the Nexus was formatted, prohibiting the update from working. Google/Asus support have been useless regarding the issue which is a very simple fix just requiring the user to reflash the N7 with a stock image. It has been confirmed working by not just me but other people on the reddit nexus 7 board. Here is what I did (copy/pasted from my reddit thread):
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are two methods to fix this, an in depth method, and an easy and quick method. My first time I used the in depth, but I tested this with the easy method too so I'll just post that. I'm on a cell phone so I'm not going into the in depth method - I'm posting this so hopefully the other people like me who got this on Christmas won't have to return it.
----------------
For the quick and easy method, download Wug's toolkit here:
(google this, forums wont let me post links until I reach 10 posts)
Run the driver install guide, making sure to follow the parts about uninstalling previous drivers. Follow this to a T. Next, unlock your bootloader. Its painless and takes seconds. Next, go here and download your Nexus specific update.
(Find this on google developer site, you can google it too - forums wont let me post links - also make sure its 4.2.1)
Click on the "back to stock + unroot" -- we never rooted, but just do this. Select other/browse and browse to the image you downloaded. Flash this. You WILL fail on three files - it says something like recovery.sig failed - it will do it for two other .sig files. This is fine. Let it do its thing. A few minutes later your android will boot up. Log in, and go to settings. Click about tablet. Click on build number like 10 times, until it tells you developer options unlocked. Go into developer options and enable USB debugging. Now, go back to Wugs toolkit and lock the bootloader. There you have it, an updated nexus running stock everything, and locked so your warranty is not void.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This was a very sloppy guide put together on my cell phone. Any questions just post and I'll do my best to get back to you. Goodluck!
Hi.
Thanks for the reply.
Just wondering if there is an easier way to do this.
I'm not comfortable flashing a new device.
What was the suggestion about fast boot?
Thanks

This is definitely the easiest way for you to fix your problems. The risk of your device becoming unusable is practically none. This is the beauty of nexus devices, Google provides official factory reset ROMs for you to flash in these sorts of situations. You can either use Wugs or mskip's tookit as advised to automate the process (fastboot commands used to flash the recovery image, fastboot commands are simply used to flash it to your device) or you can use fastboot to flash it yourself manually (still very easy)
I would 100% do this to fix your device. Don't be scared! This is the official way of fixing a nexus device when it doesn't function.
Thanks.
I'm trying this now.
I've uninstalled all previous drivers, and it's updated to an 'Android Phone -> Android Composite ADB Interface'
I've clicked the Reboot BootLoader Button.. and nothing happens on the tablet.
This was trying with the #3 driver option.
I'm now trying driver #2 !!
Another quick question...
Once all this is done, will I have issues with it in the future, or should this resolve future updates.?

I'm not certain about the driver issues because I don't use Wug's toolkit, sorry!
However, when you get this completed, it should solve this problem in the future.
I've had to go with option 1 for the drivers..
but it's done and working
One thing I did have to do after unlocking the boot loader was reset up on the wifi and re enable USB debugging before I could continue.
all sorted thanks

Let us know how it comes out and if there's problems, exactly where you're hitting the problem. I will try to help you out and later today I could probably get on team viewer and help you figure the drivers out.

Hello, I decided to join this awesome forum to get assistance into upgrading my L90 to new lollipop. Why? well.. (I'm rooted) days ago I somehow corrupted my google play services and google play store using titanium back up. Sincerely I heard it was very trustworthy but, (of course I had everything backed up) couldn't install them again TB just got stuck for hours installing. So after numerous attempts of restoring order I wasn't able to do so, I decided to do a Factory reset but without luck, and i'm still rooted I don't know why lol. I was thinking of flashing the new lollipop D41520b_00.kdz "official rom" to solve my hard time with the annoying pop up "unfortunately google play store, services also, has stopped working" Im a newbie in this I just managed to root my phone and I don't remember installing any kind of boot-loader or so. I have been reading for hours but I still do not feel confident by myself to do it. So could someone explain me step by step what should I do? I got the .kdz file which is about 1.07 gb
Thank you very much for your time and patience.

Hey guys,
Recently, I have been trying to re-root my LG G2 VS980 that was returned to lollipop stock (LG Firmware). However, all the tools I knew that previously worked, (Ioroot, Towelroot, Stumproot, Kingoroot, etc..) did not work. After months of testing, I finally found one app that currently works called KingRoot.
As far as I know, it is the only root method that acutally still works after LG patched most of the exploits so I thought I would share the info with you guys in case some of you are still interested in rooting your G2.
Instructions:
1. Install Kingroot: http://kingroot.net/ (the APK doesn't work for the G2)
2. Go to settings in your phone and click the build number 7-10 times to enable Developer Options
3. Go to Developer Options and enable USB Debugging
4. plug the phone into your computer and launch the program. Make sure you see the USB Debugging card that will pop up on your phone.
Launch the program and allow the program to root your phone.
Sidenote: The only downside to the app is it is all in Korean but it is very easy to tell what it is asking due to excellent pictures
After you receive root, download the app RootChecker just to make sure.
To Install TWRP:
1. Instructions: Go to Play Store and type in the search window, "AUTOREC".
2. Select the correct variant: ex. VS980=Verizon etc...
3. Install the app.
4. Watch TWRP Install on your phone.
5. Reward yourself on your hard work with a pat on the back.
So that's it; A fast easy, and trouble free method on getting root and installing TWRP
Thanks for this. I recently acquired a G2, and will be trying this out tonight.

No problem. Have fun with your custom ROM of choice.
Can you share the setup files? I also need to re-root my Verizon phone. The kingroot ownload links looks dead
i downlaoded it from here. I have usb dev enabled. now what? http://kingroot-pc.en.uptodown.com/download
Stuck on that step. I know its telling me to enable USB debuggin which I have, it doens' do anythong when I click Go in Korean
I managed to enable debugging mode which was by setting the 'USB Type" on the phone to "Internet -> Ethernet"
But Kingroot isn't managing to root the phone. It goes 100 percent and nothing.
Ioroot managed to get the phone into the reboot phase but the phone no longer processed the splash screen of the recover/bootloader. The splash screen which has the android mascot on its back with abdomen open.
"LG G2 One lick Tool" makes the phone go to "download mode" but its stuck at 0 percent. I disconnect and replug in hope of kickstarting it, doesn't work.
What can I do now?

No idea. I was on a downgraded stock ROM, VS980_27A or was it VS980_24A. Can't remember; 4.4.2
Whatever it was, none of the popular rooting method was working. They were managing to do 'semi root' as in root message was displayed in "hard reset mode" and in 'download mode' but there was no root when the OS fully booted. The 'stock recovery' was also corrupted as in it showed a dead android with red exclamation mark. From the searching I did, people were saying there was no recovery installed so I needed one but I could not install. No stock recovery means no 'adb'.
Stump root gave 'complete' root. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.
Will this work if I am on the 39aa update from Verizon? I am skeptical about this because this is my only phone and don't need to mess it up.

I don't think I've seen a way to root 39aa as of yet. One of our developers was asking about it as well, if you do find a way, please @ me so I can hook him up
I'm still looking around for a way.

I tried and failed at it. I am downgrading to VS98039A_05 and going from there. it seems VS9803AA was meant to patch root and also SF security patches.

Thanks for this. For people who don't want to mess with Korean, or if Kingroot doesn't work, LG One Click Root still works on VS9803AA, although you may have to run it 3 or 4 times.

Interesting... I've tried that method four times and it never worked for me. Good to hear it works for other people though. I agree not to many people want to use
Korean deciphering skills just to root their phone but its just an option.

When I unlocked the BL sunshine stayed on the unlocking part, after I paid, for almost an hour. So I hit exit and tried turning off the phone, and my phone hung up on the turning off. So I rebooted i, with vol down and power, and then the bootloader unlock warning poped up. So then I went about and got twrp through flashify, and everything seems to be working ok. Did anything similar happen to anyone else, and should I be worried it messed up my phone?
This happened to me also and if
your bootloader is unlock there is nothing to worry about. I would put money on your bootloader is unlocked.

Turbo Support has been merged into the main APK, and no longer needs mofo/Kingroot to work.
This version requires you to be on the 5.1 SU4TL-44 with the matching 3.10.40-perf-g90ddf4a Kernel.
Code:
Happy Holidays !
[B][COLOR="Red"]SunShine 3.2 BETA for Droid Turbo [/COLOR][/B](All other devices use the 3.1.XX release for now, as this is untested on other devices). Again DO NOT USE THIS ON ANY OTHER MODELS.
This is a beta, why? It needs more testing and has some bugs, but it is safe and it works. We wanted to get it out today, over the next day or two we will patch some bugs and push another version. (No need to upgrade if you get unlocked).
This version requires you to be on the 5.1 SU4TL-44 with the matching 3.10.40-perf-g90ddf4a Kernel.
You must either be rooted with Mofo, or Temp rooted with the latest kingroot from [url]http://kingroot.net[/url] (yes it works on the 5.1 SU4TL-44 release, it may take a couple tries, and is free).
When Kingroot finishes rooting, go to the setting and uncheck and recheck the option called "Root Authorization" (or something like that), than go into Sunshine,
You MUST have wifi on, even if not connected to wifi.
If it gets "stuck" for more than 5 minutes on a test, turn phone off, then check your bootlaoder. If its not unlocked, try again. It can take a couple goes (you only get charged once, and we guarantee it will work). KingRoot can also cause it to fail if their root bugs out for some reason, solution is to just try again. Uninstalling Kingroot , rebooting then reinstalling may be needed in some cases if it fails.
FYI. Pete

A few had that issue.
You're not a first.
Yeah, mine did it, too. After it was stuck there for like 25 - 30, I just rebooted. Don't know what happened, to cause it stick, but it worked, so I didn't think to investigate further.

Hello
Just got myself a new piece today. I'm afraid to do anything wrong and afraid to use without installing a new ROM myself.
I have read on different forums that when you buy a global version they are often infested with malware and you have to do af fastboot update to remove it all.
I haven't powered the device up yet because I want to do things right the first time.
My intention is to have the newest official stable global rom on the phone. I just not sure which step i need to take.
If a helpful soul could advice me I would really really appriciate that I have found several guide but I need to know the exact right steps. It is okay if you link to a step by step guide.
Here are links that I would go with, but I'm not sure if I need to unlock and if I have to wait for 2 weeks to be approved or if there is a quicker way

If you're still afraid of beginning with all these great guides, better do not power on though.

I'm not affraid to use these guides or some other detailed step by step procedure. I'm just a little confused about the order and if these guides can be used if I want newest official global stabel ROM. I guess It is more the steps than what you do in the steps - hope it makes sense

You'll have to get it powered up and registered. Xiaomi impose a 3 day embargo on you where you cannot unlock the bootloader, I'd at least get that timer ticking away and then apply to unlock it asap.
Then you need to install TWRP. I recommend searching for the Mr Raine's version.
Pick a ROM and then off you go!

A fastboot update wouldn't remove anything that's on the device. As it sounds, it would just perform an update.
As others stated, you should get it powered on & start the unlock process through Xiaomi. You don't need to sign into your Google account, so the only thing they would have access to is the Xiaomi account you register with.
After you are able to unlock the device, get a custom recovery (TWRP) installed. You may need to try a few different ones, i.e.: The "official" one doesn't have the touchscreen when booted into it.
From there, choose a ROM, flash, & you're good to go.

Thanks for the help so far and good advices.
Update of the situation is that I powered the beauty up. I could see that it took me through the entire setup phase from the beginning like it is normal for a brand new and untouched phone. Shortly after it was updated twice via OTA and is now on the newest official global ROM.
Everything is working perfect and I am extremely happy with the phone.
Two days ago I requested Xiaomi to unlock the bootloader as I would like to root the phone.

Let me know how it goes when you do, & what you end up flashing. I'm done the latest MIUI Beta & now the Pixel Experience 8.1 ROM, & I keep losing voice call server. Looks like I can still text, but no outgoing or incoming calls. I'm running on Project Fi too. With all these issues, I'm considering a switch to the Essential Phone.
