Did you lose boot loader unlock or root when you installed 4.3? I'm assuming you used fastboot to install not OTA? Just curious...I'll be playing tonight when I get home.

You lose root but your bootloader remains unlocked.
Has anyone been able to root 4.3? Tried to root and flash custom recovery with the Nexus 7 toolkit, but I don't think it's working.

haven't tried it (I'm yet to receive the update) but someone referenced this link: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+Chainfire/posts/WqS2E9kkN1L
he is right.....You loose root but bootloader remains unlocked...
i have heard people say that you do not loose root if you use the OTA Method and your bootloader also remains unlocked....So its your choice its either Fastboot or OTA...
Just use OTA Rootkeeper, you'll be fine.
Just remember kids.
You cannot use an OTA if your ROM is modified in ANY WAY.
Yeah OTA wont work for most people, seeing as they probably have a modified ROM. In any sense, chainfire has a root method that works. I can confirm it working, because I installed it using TWRP

When 4.2.2 came out I had problems updating because my ROM was modified. But someone modified OTA not to check for changes in ROM and it worked.
no OpenGL ES 3.0 for us?
according to http://developer.android.com/:
"OpenGL ES 3.0 is an optional feature that depends on underlying graphics hardware. Support is already available on Nexus 7 (2013), Nexus 4, and Nexus 10 devices."
I am running 4.3 unlocked but I did the one click method for root using nexus tool kit and for some reason it did not work, I have to try again tonight.

So, I played around a bit,
First of all, I did a "clean, unrooted and even locked bootloader install".
So I'm 1000% stock, just to avoid stuff like "maybe root caused it"..
(I locked it because I wanted to go 100% stock, just FYI, I know it's normally not necessary...)
The welcome screen was a bit weird... I got asked 2 times to tick or untick boxes for saving passwords and all that stuff.. (I think they mixed up the new and the old "first boot setup"?)
The Apps and widgets in the drawer were kinda confused, took 2 reboots for them to settle... (Icons disappeared and reappeared.. The widget tab in the drawer threw some widgets in and out, and the previews were mixed up, so dots and a weird sign was the result (as a preview of the widget)...
The initial setup was pretty laggy, but after setting stuff up, until now, yes I can say the performance of the nexus 7 is improved..
First I was like "OH HELL NO" but after the setup and the reboot everything was smooth...
Oh, and the back button was destroyed 1 time, blinked up but didn't go back... I pressed the home button and it worked then.
Edit: And sadly, no new wallpapers in stock... ):

I booted it up, restored my Google Play stuff (flashed a factory image, completely wiped everything from it, so it's clean, I think).
It lagged a lot, so I rebooted it and it still isn't 4.2.2 smooth. Maybe it's just me, I'll see.
Is it just me, or does it feel like the only thing that changed for us is the number in settings menu besides Google Apps?
OpenGL ES as it was already said, doesn't appear to be here for us, not to mention the fact that Miracast had never actually worked on N7 until recently when someone had it ported over.
Has anyone managed to find the link for the OTA yet?
SO I flashed the stock 4.3 kernel on a 4.2.2 rom and discovered that the stock android 4.3 kernel breaks wifi and gps on 4.2.2...

I have literally hours working on that.
Flashed the stock image using fastboot, took like 2 minutes to do, flashed the chainfire root patch and rebooted and restored apps, so far everything is pretty smooth no disappearing apps or icons or buttons, the kernel seems to be quicker, opening websites was quite a bit quicker, one thing I noticed while trying out different browsers was ads opening up new tabs automatically, that's something that's never happened before.

Tegra 3 does not support GLES3. Even Tegra 4 won't, because nvidia are still using their old gpu architecture.
What's the performance like? Better than 4.2 or 4.1?

I had the notification for 4.2 update yesterday morning and after pondering for the day I decided to initiate the upgrade which for some reason or another the update failed.
Is there anyway of finding out why the update failed and since the failure I've had no further notifications of the update so how can I try the update again?
Thanks
Jon
Update just failed for me too, which having read up, looked like it might have been because of having an alternate recovery installed.
So I removed the recovery .................UPDATE FAILED
Removed root.....................................UPDATE FAILED
Locked Bootloader..............................UPDATE FAILED
Full system wipe.................................UPDATE FAILED
You can force a retry by going to App,------All-------Google Services Framework and stopping the process and wiping the data
Then checking for update manually.
Some folks say you can have problems with Play and push notification after the framework wipe, but as I had gone the route of restoring to default, I wasn't bothered as I will just do the same again.
I wonder if there is a deeper issue however, than just my tablet.

did you guys did anything or change anything from system, like change the proxyprovider.apk for flash support? Mine failed through OTA and even via manual update but then I changed back the those apks and things went well and now I am on 4.2. Just sharing my experience and hope it can help you guys. somewhat.
If you guys replaced the stock recovery, deleted or froze any stock apps,or modified any system configuration files, OTA is going to fail.
My tablet updated just fine and it is both rooted and unlocked. My galaxy nexus which is the same (both rooted and unlocked) for some reason fails on the 4.2 update.
I had the exact same problem over the past two days, I don't have a custom recovery, just unlocked bootloaded and root.

OOOOOH! I froze then deleted the KOREAN IME app, because why the heck do I need a Korean app on my tablet? Hmm, so what are my options? Can I just redownload the Korean IME off the play store and OTA will work then?
Was there any other forced IME like Chinese that's 'baked in' to the Google ROM? I forgot if I may have deleted any others, but I think it was only Korean.

Is the only way to fix this to use a pc and adb the 4.1.2 zip and gapps?
Is there any way to fix it from the device itself?
(I've tried flashing the 4.1, 4.1.2 and 4.2 via CWM)
Would reflashing the 4.1 gapps help?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I had the same problem. Used titanium backup and the "integrate system apps updates into ROM" option and then couldn't update to 4.2.
Tried several things I read in this forum but nothing worked.
Had to erase everything and flash the stock ROM I downloaded from Google. They have a 4.2 stock ROM too so didn't need to update afterwards.
Then restore all your apps from backup and you are set.

The alternative is that you restore your system folder to its original state (i.e. get hold of that Korean IME app, stick it back in /system/app and set the correct permissions). I had to do this with Google Wallet but it can be done if you know exactly what you've changed and avoids flashing a factory image and setting your device up again (albeit that Titanium makes this relatively painless now).

Me too. Also a 32gb N7. I owned it less than a week. Multiple factory resets didn't correct the issue either. I returned it to the store for a refund. Didn't want to keep a device that would never install updates.
I have 32 gigabyte Nexus 7 and it came with Android 4.2 out of the box so I guess no problems with the updates

If you search the forums this has been addressed and solved. You need to reflash the os - you don't need root. Use wugs toolkit. Its a problem on googles end where the nexus was formatted incorrectly, and a reflash fixes it.

Yep. Got the Android robot on his back, with the triangle/exclamation point on top of him, after downloading, restarting and almost complete install. I've tried multiple times and miserably failed each time, at the same point. Eventually, I was able to manually update it using Wug's Nexus Toolkit, since all other methods failed. Thank you Wug

I'm reading the threads and seeing a consistent pattern (and experienced it myself). Referring at least to 4.1.2 -> 4.2 and 4.2 -> 4.2.1, it seems that you can do the OTA update if you if you have CWM but not TWRP. If you accept the OTA and have CWM, it will reboot into CWM, apply the update, ask if you want to preserve recovery and su, and reboot you into the new version.
If you have TWRP, though, it seems people get stuck at error 7 or similar.
When a larger version comes out in the future though I suspect we'll have to flash by hand as the OTA could blow away custom recovery; but for the two mentioned above at least, it wont kill CWM and installs fine with it in place.
I've loved TWRP in the past, but in this case it looks like CWM is handling the OTAs more gracefully. It's just a random chance that I have the latest CWM on my N7 instead of TWRP.
I have never used twrp, but I have done the last updates through cwm recovery and kept recovery and kept root. Definitely recommend cwm recovery.
I just got the OTA here, on TWRP 2.3.2.1, Nexus 7 no 3G. No errors, just worked.
Yeah just got the new update and I'm still rooted

I really don't understand why people are having such a hard time understanding what is wrong when they receive an error message with the OTA update.
It's not complicated people. You don't need to be a friggin' brain surgeon or a senior level developer. The error message TELLS YOU what the issue is.
Verifying current system...assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/SOMEFILE")
Guess what? Something is wrong with SOMEFILE. You either modified it, deleted it, "froze" it in TiBu, or did something else that is causing the update to break.
If you look at the updater-script, you can see everything thing the OTA does. It's just a long batch script basically.
The ONLY way this 4.2.1 OTA update is going to fail due to recovery is if you are using the wrong recovery for your device (ie: grouper on talapia, etc.).
I hear what you are saying but....my N7 is stock, untouched, unlocked & rooted, yet I had problems with CWM & TWRP with the OTA and flashing the update manually.
I had to go back to stock recovery for both updates.
But I can see in this thread some have the OTA update working fine, one thing we all have in common is the N7, yet varied results.

What are you talking about?
XDA is in no way a site dedicated exclusively to "help people not use the stock software". It's a place where people can discuss their hardware/software including stock/custom/etc. usage and modifications. So not only is your comment 100% incorrect, but it's also contrary to this thread in particular. The thread title clear talks about using a CUSTOM recovery with an update to the stock software. So even if you were right (you aren't), your point is counter-intuitive.
There are many people here that are either mostly or completely stock. That's their personal preference and it's completely fine and acceptable. And it most certainly doesn't mean they don't deserve help or assistance here.
---------- Post added at 03:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 PM ----------
Also, while OTA updates are written in such a way to remove suid root on the su binary and reinstall the stock recovery image, most new custom recoveries have a work around in place to prevent this. Not to mention it's trivial to restore them back after the update.

No accident ... I updated my N7 from 4.1 to 4.2 still rooted.. And I just updated again to 4.2.1 ... Don't know about you but I love these kind of updates
Also I like my devices stock, rooted and a few tweaks here and there along with rooted applications... I'm sure there are many of me out there.
-Google
I prefer to never actually flash the recoveries.. just adb boot them as required - that means my system is always stock for the updates and I can pick a recovery at random should I want them (although generally I only use them to get a root shell to install su when I get a new phone).
I am rooted stock with cwm touch and the ota fails staus 7. I'm pretty sure I didn't do anything to "break" the update for myself. It's kind of funny the clockwork stops and asks about flashing an untrusted rom and then doesn't allow it. I would rather sit out of this whole 4.2 bs anyway.
I was rooted and stupidly just clicked the update to 4.2.1 without thinking, it didn't even occur to me to take any measures to keep root or custom recovery. So I lost both. It only took a few minutes with Wugs' toolkit to fix though.
I've taken three OTAs with TWRP and had no problems with any of them.

Try a clean flash and ull feel the difference, besides half of the apps u use are not optimized for KK so that might be the issue.
Remember after first boot tablet is laggy and services in the background will stop soon.

You need to wipe the device clean and begin from scratch. Mine runs better than 4.3 ever did, overall i think its great.

Many ways, the way I did was to http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/ this, get drivers installed (once only and the most fiddly thing of all overall) and do "unlock" (once only), and then as I tried 4.2.2. , 4.3, 4.4, 4.4.1 and back to 4.3..... etc is "stock+unroot" then root. Then I copy supersu.zip to /sdcard to keep root on it if it loses root which it does in a few situations. e.g. 4.4 then root then installed Franco kernel lost root.
There is the adb sideload and other methods but once I got the WUGS NRT working, I stuck with that.
I now don't use any google backup/restore at all now, I just install what I want and configure myself. That way it is as vanilla as possible. A few APKS hard to get, I copy them onto fileserver I can access from anywhere.
I've done this with my N4 and N7 2012.
I just purchased a droid 4 from Verizon, have wiped it a few times, but my front facing camera, keyboard, soft key lights are not working.

As it seems since the update many consumers have had these same issues with out being able to fix them, i have tried fixes that i obtained from the Motorola forums and the lighting situation did not work. Am not sure its hardware due to the keyboard being functional. I appreciate any and all help.

Hi Timothy,
OK you're running Android JellyBean, AFAIK Verizon never released a Kit-Kat (Android 4.4) update for the device.
Personally, given that AFAIK it's not possible to roll back to a previous version of Android (you can only reinstall the previous version), I would suggest you root it, install SafeStrap and do a quick install of something like Cyanogen (not the best ROM for Droid 4 IMHO but will quickly do the job). At least those can be rolled back.
Rooting and installing SafeStrap is SO utterly easy on this device that it should be made harder
For a start, everything you'll need, if you want, can be grabbed from my Google Drive
h t t p s://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B3MTT4jOK738fmdLLURMQVBGWkVpTDBMTmg1UGFUd3JWNDNlcUVzQWZFQXBpT3dCMFJhdTg&usp=drive_web&tid=0B0EWnwDplBc0fnBGbDg3ZmdZNC1ET1JZeVRWdE8tZ2p1Um41OThLeTZ2WWtRNE9TUXJpS2M
If you don't have any file manager yet (as you'll need one), ES File Explorer is a great one, as you'll most certainly need it.
Rooting:
Get Towel root from:

install it and root your Droid4
Installing SafeStrap:
Check out this page for info about SafeStrap
h t t p://blog.hash-of-codes.com/how-to-safestrap/
Once your device is rooted, you can install SafeStrap
Again you can grab a copy from my Google drive:
h t t p s://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B0EWnwDplBc0fk5aeUhFSjlQMzZ2TXNYM0lsWVRDWklLOU1nYkUybzU1emJDV1IwS0tkazg&usp=drive_web&tid=0B0EWnwDplBc0fnBGbDg3ZmdZNC1ET1JZeVRWdE8tZ2p1Um41OThLeTZ2WWtRNE9TUXJpS2M
Installing a custom rom:
Once you have installed SafeStrap
You can download CM11 which I've tested from:
h t t p s://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B0EWnwDplBc0fnJJd0s1ZV85aEE1YkF0TjNzM28tcmxfOVkzZVJ0OUVhLThrR29sb19vVW8&usp=drive_web&tid=0B0EWnwDplBc0fnBGbDg3ZmdZNC1ET1JZeVRWdE8tZ2p1Um41OThLeTZ2WWtRNE9TUXJpS2M
- Copy the file to your SDcard0 (usually named MOT)
- Boot into SafeStrap, create a small partition (1000 MB for data is enough) in Slot1
- install CM 11 and see if the problem is fixed in CM11 and report back to me
Take care

or just see [INDEX] Motorola Droid 4
I got my Nexus 6P for Christmas, and I decided to root my Motorola Nexus 6 from last year. I've been waiting to do this for a few months, and was excited to finally enable several of the options I couldn't otherwise enable (such as double tap to wake and auto rotate on the lock screen and Google Now launcher). About an hour ago I got around to rooting and done so with little issues. It's been a little under an hour since I rooted, and I just now noticed that the battery life is being displayed as having over 4,000% charge. I rooted following the steps in a YouTube video by DroidModderX and the device is running perfectly fine. The device hasn't died yet, and I'll be interested to see when it will die. The battery life seems to fluctuate between 4,001% and 4,204% (Those two figures being the highest and lowest figures respectively). Rebooting does not fix this error.
I know it's not a massive problem, but I'd like to know what's causing this issue and how to resolve it. I haven't flashed any custom OS's on my phone, I'm still running stock Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow with the latest December security patches. The device is carrier unlocked also. How can I fix this?
Thanks,
Eamonn.

You need to use updated root files. The battery issue arises when you're on 6.0.1 but aren't using the right file version. Easily fixed not to worry, just re-root with updated files and it will resolve with no lasting harm.

Ah, thank goodness. I'll re-root tomorrow and post back if I have any problems. Thanks!
Thanks, that fixed the issue. I re-rooted and everything is working fine. I flashed the ElementalX kernel. However on boot I now get a warning with a red triangle saying "Your device is corrupt. It cannot be trusted and may not work properly". This warning goes away, and the phone proceeds to boot up successfully. Everything on the device works perfectly fine with no issues. I am successfully rooted running Android Marshmallow 6.0.1, but this screen scares me somewhat. I rooted my Galaxy SII and I have a yellow triangle on boot but only on the Samsung splash screen. Is this something new in Android M or something unique to Nexus devices? I researched this a bit and found one post on Reddit that said this happened in the M previews, and that it was nothing to be concerned about. Is there a way to remove this screen, or is it just like the yellow triangle on the SII? Should I even be concerned with this, or is it something to just dismiss? Is my device at risk any more than normal when rooting, and have I done something wrong? I'm a bit of a newbie at the rooting stuff, but I intend to use my Nexus 6 and SII to learn more about it (and my 6P way into the future, once I get a new phone).
Thanks in advance.
Why did you need root for the Google now launcher?

What do you mean? I can run the Google Now launcher perfectly fine. Root works fine as well. The problem isn't with the Google Now launcher but with the warning on boot. I didn't need to root, I chose to. Am I misunderstanding?
Your original post made it seem like you need root for double tap to wake and Google now launcher.

Thanks, that fixed the issue. I re-rooted and everything is working fine. I flashed the ElementalX kernel. However on boot I now get a warning with a red triangle saying "Your device is corrupt.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087021512 gives you 6.0.1 bootstack for Nexus 6 (shamu). Flash this in TWRP. This should fix your corrupted boot splash screen. It's new in Android M when you've installed custom kernel and/or roms. It does not hurt anything except Android Pay is unlikely to work once rooted.
EDIT: I forgot to included mmb29k, non-encrypt boot.img made by GerardF: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24340319927534323 (flash this also after you flash the bootstack).

Worked perfect. That got rid of the corrupt message. One last question: (This is the last one, I swear! ) Are you saying that Android Pay won't work at all after rooting or that it wouldn't have worked if that screen had have appeared on boot? I hope to use the service if and when it comes to the UK.

Ah, sorry for the confusion my friend ?
I would have kept it at 4,000% - that's like 2 weeks of battery life with no charge...

Haha if it wasn't a display error I might have (Though it would have only been like 3 days on the Nexus 6 )

Sorry, I don't remember where I got the updated files now. I do remember sticking to looking on XDA and not just searching randomly online, maybe you could try searching the forums?
is it possible to root with chainfire root files. I did a clean install of the January security update, then flashed the latest boot.img from chainfire then flashed SuperSU 2.66.zip through TWRP, but im still getting this. I received this same issue with the last patch. Im at the point where it isnt worth rooting. Any help would be appreciated.
