Hello,
I have a 2012 nexus seven, do android 4.3 will work on it using normal android system upgrade from settings? Because it says that there isn't any update available.
And can I root the device normally afterwards?
And my data will be saved?

Over the air updates often take time to roll out. Give it time and the update will come.
Of course, you can root and flash a custom ROM based on 4.3, but unless you already have an unlocked bootloader, you will lose your data.

You'll lose root, but so long as you made no changes to the preinstalled /system portion of the ROM, the OTA should run without killing any of your data.

If he has Superuser he can download OTA Root Keeper off Google Play to keep root when he installs the OTA or if he uses SuperSU instead, the pro (paid) version has an option to protect root.

This is why it pays to have an unlocked bootloader.
You would be running 4.3, rooted, and no loss of data if you did.

Not at this stage, it seems.

Yeah you are right. They updated their app to show it at the moment does not have 4.3 support. Rooting a Nexus device is easy enough, though, that I would not worry about it.

Finally got the update this evening! Had a notification to say it'd downloaded and was ready to install, but I was in the middle of fixing a Play Store issue which meant removing and reinstating my Google account...
Of course, this meant that the notification disappeared and I'm still stuck on 4.2.2 with the manual update via 'About tablet' not working.
If it's downloaded, can I assume that it's still somewhere on my device? If not, will I possibly have to wait days or weeks to receive the update again?!
I'm not rooted by the way.

Hi guys,
1. I have a rooted, stock 4.2.2 Nexus 7 and I use Chainfire's SuperSU app.
2. As you may know, Chainfire just updated SuperSU to v1.44 in order for it to work on Android 4.3.
My question is this:
My device hasn't taken the Android 4.3 OTA update yet; when it does come, is it possible to use supercurio's Voodoo OTA RootKeeper app to preserve root, since it will be keeping Chainfire's latest SuperSU?
In Play store, voodoo ota rootkeeper says it is not updated for 4.3 and will not keep root.
Ah, the only place I haven't checked
Thanks though!
I can confirm it doesn't work.

I had that prior to my OTA. My OTA failed, but SuperSU still alerted me that it saved my root after I forced a reboot.
Just reflash the latest SuperSU zip, no big deal.

Fixed it myself. Downloaded the update from the dedicate thread [REF] Nexus 7 Stock OTA URLs and tried to sideload it with ADB and noticed I had an error message regarding the checksum of debuggerd. So I found a debuggerd with matching checksum ( from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2379430&page=2 ), put it in place and everything was able to update. The update process ended in a bootloop but that's another story which got a happy ending: updated via fastboot with the stock image from the Google repository.

Are you sure this works?
I mean: Flashing a custom recovery like TWRP with a toolkit and then flashing the right SuperSu with it.
Should work fine.. Has for many others.... However, TWRP is probably better for doing it.

Agreed. I don't understand what to do hence why I have not rooted yet. Once I read and re-read all these subjects then I may give it a shot.
Does anyone know if this root method will prevent future OTA updates? I had my Note 2 rooted and had to go through hell and high water to search and install rooted/deodexed updates each time they were pushed out, as a result of rooting the device.

Rooting won't stop the updates but it will allow you to install titanium backup and freeze the services that the updates rely on.
You just have to remove the ota app. It's only an app on pretty much all android phones that actually controls ota updates.

Thanks for the responses. To clarify... I *want* OTA updates. I don't mind the stock ROMs (as long as I have root to freeze bloatware) pushed from AT&T. Note 2 rooted changed the device to "modified" and when OTA updates were available, they could not be downloaded or installed. Hence, I had to search for stock ROMs that had been rooted and deodexed.

actually.... Root de la Vega should stop ota updates already because it has a build number that samsung should never release a ota for.

You mean if you upgrade?
If you have an unlocked bootloader, yes, you can root and disable write protection no matter what ROM is on your X.
If you can't unlock your bootloader, then you are safe to install 4.2.2 with camera fix update, or 4.4 update. You can continue to use SlapMyMoto to root, and MotoWPNoMo to disable write protection.
BUT DO NOT install 4.4.2. If you have rooted with SlapMyMoto/MotoWpNoMo and take the 4.4.2 OTA, you might keep root, but will lose the important Write Protection Disabled that MotoWpNoMo gave you, with no way to get it back. When Write Protection is enabled (the phone's default state with locked bootloader, or the state you are in after you take the 4.4.2 OTA), any changes made to /system, or the like, (including, but not limited to, App installs, file modifications, deletions, renames, etc) are not permanent and are lost at power off/on.
SlapMyMoto doesn't work on 4.4.2, and at this time, no new working root exploit and process has been released. And part of the 4.4.2 update patches the exploit that MotoWpNoMo used, so it wont work.
The 4.4.2 update also updates the bootloader which will prevent safely being able to downgrade the ROM version on your phone. If you try to flash 4.4. or lower, you will either brick your phone, or get it in a state where you will brick when taking an update.
So then I could still take the camera update as long as I don't go to 4.4?

You can still root 4.4 as well. Its 4.4.2 that You can't, and you'd want to stay away from if you have a locked bootloader.

You should check the stickies on that. The rooting methods have been updated a lot since pre camera 4.2.2 which is what you're on. Please read the stickies and Jcase's root threads as those are going to give you the best info.

I'll start this off by saying I've been away from android for about a year now, just got my nexus back up and running and updated to 5.0 manually with adb. For some reason it didn't update completely or something though, I still seem to have the jb launcher. I updated straight from a jb version of paranoid android that was like 4.1, didn't think that would be a problem since I did the manual update. What do I need to do? I feel like this is probably just an obvious thing that I'm missing because of the time passed since I've done any of this

I downloaded the factory image and set it up from the beggining. It has jb launcher default. You have to download from google play yourself. There is no issue about it.
Thanks OP, I was in same boat
On a side question, I did mine OTA, any benefit to have done it via factory image instead?
Just install Google now launcher. Factory images are for those who can't wait for ota. If you have the ota then it's no different from factory images.

I personally think flashing the factory image is a little more stable (just my opinion, though). Plus it is way less of a hassle if you're using any rom mods, custom recovery, etc. since the OTA won't flash if you do any of these. Also, with an OTA you have to either wait for the notification or get the right zip to flash over the version you're currently running....for example, if you have 4.3 and you want to update to 5.0 via OTA zip you can't use the 4.4->5.0 one...you have to find the 4.3->5.0 one. Factory images 'just work'....way less headaches
Thanks. Doing flash via code method listed on thread here.
It's been a while since I've played around with my phone. I've been rooted since day 1 and run a few custom ROMS. However, obviously I'm not getting the pushed OTA. How can I get 7.0? Will I lose root? I don't mind if I have to re-root, just wondering.
Un-root your device and install the N firmware and then reboot. That way I'm sure you won't get a boot loop upon restart.

If you want to have root, and you have run custom ROMs before, why not just run a custom 7.1 ROM that already has root. YOu would just need to upgrade your bootloader and radio to the latest and flash a 7.X ROM.
