Android 4.2.1 (JOP40D) for Nexus 7 Wifi and 3G+
Manual Update Available [Updated]
Install:
Those with a custom recovery can just download the zip below, move it to their device, and flash away. If you're running stock recovery, substituting only the zip file name in Step 2.
Just after users began reporting that your Google Nexus N7 device were receiving an update to Android 4.2 Jelly Bean (build JOP40C, to be precise), it looks like the manual update package is available for download. As could be expected, this coincides almost perfectly with the launch of Google's newest additions to the Nexus family – the Nexus 4 and 10.
For those ready to download and install manually, the process is easy. If you have a custom recovery, just download the zip (linked below), move it to your device, and flash as usual. Those with stock recovery should keep the file on their computer, and just follow a few easy instructions:
Disclaimer: I'm not responsible in case of brick of your device - proceed at your own risk.
Step 1.
- Reboot your Google Nexus 7, holding the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons while it boots up. Once you see the fastboot menu and "Start," press Volume Up to navigate to "Recovery" and press the power button. Once you see an Android with a red exclamation point icon, press Volume Up and the Power button together, which will bring you to a new menu. Navigate to "apply update from adb."
Step 2.
- Connect your Google N7 to your computer with a USB cable.
- Make sure you have a recent version of adb that supports the sideload command (if you don't, download the latest Android SDK to ensure your adb is up-to-date).
- Open up a command prompt (cmd in Windows, regular shell in Linux and Mac) in the same directory as the JOP40C zip file you've downloaded.
Type in the following:
For the Nexus 7 "NAKASI"
Code:
adb sideload 659e6288b87d.signed_nakasi_JOP40D_from_JOP40C.659e6288.zip
For the Nexus7 3G+ "NAKASIG
Code:
adb sideload 65880f56b1c0.signed-nakasig-JOP40D-from-JOP40C.65880f56.zip
You should see a progress bar, which will eventually hit 100%. At this point, your device is installing the update.
Step 3.
- Reboot and enjoy! You are now running Android 4.2.1 on your Nexus
I modified my OP and put online the updates for both versions of Nexus 7
Hello
The link for the wifi N7 is broken I think
My N7 is rooted, stock rom, cwm recovery, voodoo ota rootkeeper, supersu. I d/l the update from Droid Life and copied it from my computer to the N7 internal storage. Booted into cwm recovery, chose to install zip from sdcard, chose the d/l'd file from the /0 folder (filename 659e6288b....zip), chose to reboot system, answered 'Yes' to preventing flashing stock recovery, answered 'Yes' to keeping root. All is good. Still have root and cwm recovery.

Downloaded update from official Google link, flashed in CWM Recovery, kept bootloader, kept root. All is well.
Help Help PLEASE
OK I did everything and the update worked for JOP40C. I`m running stock so no rooting.
Then I wanted to upgrade to JOP40D.
I got to just after the little green android with the exclamation mark on it. I then held the Power button and the Up button. Instead of getting the next menu it just died on me. :crying:
So what now?
I went through this project step by step and was just about to flash manually when the OTA symbol magically appeared in my bar.
Oh well... I guess I'll take the easy way this time.

Use the update by OTA...let's go
Running 4.2, rooted, CWM latest recovery (forget version). I had previously done the clear data from one of the Google apps and succesfully got my 4.2 from 4.1.2 OTA - CWM handled it just fine. I didn't want to take any chances doing that again, I downloaded this file, flashed in CWM, rebooted and all seems fine. Still have root, still have swype, still have cerberus.
Thanks OP!
Edit: Due to the new /0/ emulated sdcard for multiple users, I copied the zip file to my sdcard through windows - but CWM couldn't see it. I had to navigate to /0/ and then CWM could see it. Just a heads up.

ZIP (url) has been pulled out from Nexus 5 OTA update and you can download it below:
LRX21O - http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_hammerhead/c1a33561be84a8a6a7d5a4c8e3463c4db9352ce6.signed-hammerhead-LRX21O-from-KTU84P.c1a33561.zip
If you don't want to wait for OTA to hit your device just manually flash OTA with instructions below,
this will not wipe your entire device when flashing, good luck.
Instructions:
1. Install the latest Android SDK version
2. Enable USB Debugging and plug your device into computer.
3. Now when you got it installed go into it and go into folder "platform-tools". Now hold shift + right click and choose "open command prompt"
5. Type in it "adb devices"
6. You should now get serial number of your device, something like 02b21dc22d device
7. Now download that file from above and put it into platform-tools.
8. Now type this: adb reboot bootloader
9. Use volume keys to navigate into recovery, select with power button. Your phone will now reboot into stock recovery.
10. With Volume Down, highlight “apply update from ADB.” Press Power to choose it.
11. Back to your PC, type the following command: adb sideload <filename of update.zip>
12. Thats it, wait for it to finish then reboot your phone.

3.6 - Wait the phone to reboot and enjoy your rooted device!
3.7 - Press Thanks if i helped :good:
You've come a long way in a short time...
But your tutorial needs a proper proof-read. Did you walk through these steps yourself to make sure that the instructions are correct?
"SuperSU Beta 2.66" - why not the newest version?
"Usb Cable ,preferably micro-usb" - what other type will fit?
Step 1.0 You haven't mentioned in big red capital underlined letters "This will wipe your phone".
Step 1.4 "then you have to restart the phone normally" - why, since the next step is "Put your phone into bootloader mode"?
Step 2.1 "Put your phone into bootloader mode , power off the device and put it into bootloader mode" doesn't really make sense.
Step 2.4 You haven't mentioned in big red capital underlined letters "This will wipe your phone".
Step 3.2 says "rename it into "cwm.img"" and the following flash command refers to "zip".
Step 3.3 "type "flash recovery cwm.zip"" - wrong. "Fastboot flash recovery cwm.img".
But kudos for writing the tutorial and posting it as a help to others. Can you correct at least the errors so that new users don't get in a mess? And this time I suggest that you then walk through it step by step to be sure that you've got it all right.
Here is the complete guide for update to the latest firmware for those who have rooted phone:

Really? I still see v2.66, "preferably micro-USB"... I stopped reading after that.
And you haven't confirmed that you've walked through the instructions to test that they now work.
Have you heard the saying "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing"?
And finally a general message - maybe I should add it to my signature:
(P.S. A plea to everyone in these forums. Don't reply to a simple 1-page thread post copying the entire post to which you're replying. I've already read the original - I don't need to read it again. Copy the original post only where necessary - e.g. if it's on a previous page. And even then copy only the point to which you're replying, not the entire post. The result will be clearer and shorter threads which will be more enjoyable to read.)
While we do appreciate your effort , the guide is incomplete and incoherent.
It might brick phones of new users.

So the Samsung Galaxy Ace is starting to get old and obsolete now. But that makes it the perfect device to mess around and try all these ROM's on! This is going to be a short guide explaining how to root, unbrick and add some ROM's (With downloads) to your device.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
There's a link to all downloads at the end of this post. Note - I do not own the rights to any of the tools used for the rooting, ROM-ing and unbricking process, all credit goes to the rightful owners, unfortunately I can't remember who made each one so shout out to them all!
Downloads - Dropbox
Google Download
Disclaimer: In doing any of the following you are voiding your warranty and will trip the knox counter. If you don't understand the implications of rooting and changing your devices coding, I would advice checking before continuing
Rooting your device
So let's start. First off your gonna want to root your device, right? So in order to do this we are going to use a small zip file (download below)
Step 1 - Connect your PC to your device using a USB cable.
Step 2 - Chances are now you will get a notification pop up on your phone, this will say something along the lines of "Click here to start file transfer." All your gonna want to do is click on this notification and then wait until a button comes up saying connect to PC. Click that button and now we have access to the device from your PC.
Step 3 - Download the root zip file below if you haven't already.
Step 4 - With your phone still on, locate the folder in which your device stores everything and copy the root.zip file into your phones sd directory (if possible), or main directory.
Step 5 - Now power off your phone.
Step 6 - Hold down Power, Volume up and Home to enter recovery mode.
Step 7 - Now you should be presented with some nasty looking words, don't worry this is totally normal! Use your Volume down button to scroll down to "apply update from sdcard" and then press the Home button to confirm.
Step 8 - Again, using your volume controls scroll down to your root.zip file and press the home button
Step 9 - All being well you should get a message saying "Phone Rooted!"
Step 10 - Using your home button press "Reboot system now".
Step 11 - Check if root is installed successfully using an app from the google play store called "Root Checker". All being well you should have a rooted device! If your phone gets stuck on the samsung logo during the initial reboot wait 5-10 mins and if it is still stuck refer to "Unbricking a device".
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Adding Custom recovery to your device
So now your device is rooted your gonna want some kind of custom recovery to replace the old one, for this I am going to use Clockwork Recovery (aka CWM)
Step 1 - Turn your phone on if it's currently off
Step 2 - Connect your device to your PC as mentioned before.
Step 3 - Download "ClockWorkRec_S5830C-i-M.zip" (below)
Step 4 - Copy this file over to your device.
Step 5 - Turn off your device.
Step 6 - Boot into recovery mode using the button combination Power, Volume Up and Home.
Step 7 - Again, using your volume keys scroll down to "install zip from sdcard"
Step 8 - Find ClockWorkRec.zip and click it using the home button.
Step 9 - It should now start the short process of installing CWM.
Step 10 - All being well you should be presented with a yellow screen with ClockworkMod Recovery written at the top.
Side note - On my device every time I boot into recovery I have to reinstall CWM, this isn't a major issue but if it's the same for everyone, one that may need looking into!
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Unbricking a device
So after installing CWM I find this is the most common time things go wrong. Provided you followed the instructions nothing should have gone wrong however there's always a chance. Alternatively you could have done everything right and just a ROM or something happened to screw up your device. Don't panic! All you will need to fix this is a computer and a usb cable
Step 1 - Install the following files from below - "S5830IDXMB1_OLBLD1.rar" "16_Shrewsbury.rar" and "Odin3-v1.85.zip"
Step 2 - Extract all these into somewhere sensible in your PC.
Step 3 (Pre checks) - Power your phone into download mode using Power, Volume Up and Volume down. Then when the screen comes on, press Volume Up again.
Step 3 - Open the folder now hosting odin and double click on the .exe file.
FOLLOW THE NEXT FEW STEPS VERY CAREFULLY
Step 4 - Boot up odin. Provided everything is working the ID:COM box should go some kind of color (other than white) and have something like "0:[COM4]" being displayed.
Step 5 - This is the important bit. Click "Bootloader". Now find the folder you extracted to before and click on "S5830IDXMB1_OLBLD1/ BOOT_S5830iDXMB1_REV00.tar.md5"
Step 6 - Now click on "PDA" and select "S5830IDXMB1_OLBLD1/ PDA_S5830iDXMB1_REV00.tar.md5"
Step 7 - Now select "Phone" and choose "S5830IDXMB1_OLBLD1/ MODEM_S5830iDXMB1_REV00.tar.md5"
Step 8 - Finally choose "CSC" and pick "S5830IDXMB1_OLBLD1/ GT-S5830i-MULTI-CSC-OLBLD1.tar.md5"
Step 9 - Make sure that your odin now looks like this -
Click here for image
Step 10 - All being the same, click "Start"
Step 11 - Hold your breath and with some luck it should finally say "PASS!"
Step 12 - Reboot your phone and it will be good as new.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Adding Custom ROM's to your device
In this tutorial I am going to be using to of my favourite (and working!) custom ROM's. These are simplicity and a lollipop firmware update.
Step 1 - Turn on your phone again
Step 2 - Download your chosen ROM of choose below.
Step 3 - Transfer the zip file to your device.
Step 4 - Power down your device.
Step 5 - Enter recovery mode using the keys Power, Volume Up and Home
Step 6 (Optional) - Re-install CWM if not already installed
Step 7 - Make a nandroid backup by scrolling to "backup and restore" and clicking backup.
Step 8 - Go back to the main homepage and scroll down to "wipe cache partition".
Step 9 - Go back to the main homepage again and this time go to "advanced" and then "Wipe Dalvik Cache"
Step 10 - Finally go back to the homepage and click on "install zip from sdcard"
Step 11 - Choose your chosen zip of the ROM
Step 12 - Wait until finished then repeat steps 8 and 9 before rebooting the system.
Step 13 - All being well you should now have a Custom ROM installed on your device. If your device gets stuck in a bootloop this could be because of a faulty ROM and you should go back to "Unbricking a device".

Thanks for reading! If any of that made any sense or helped you out with your device, show me some thanks in the comments or something as this took me quite a while to write!
Root download
There doesn't seem to be a download for the root in your provided Dropbox link.
I just bricked und restored my phone, I don't want to download files from different guides again.

Finally my phone is working again. Great thread, awesome
I have just unbricked my phone
Thank you
I know this may not be a popular thread anymore, however, Google says there's a virus detected and won't allow dowbload of the ROOT-S5830C-i-M.zip file.
Google detects 'virus' patterns in many root applications, guess they are very similar to real virus files.
If you download all files together (or the folder) download is possible.
Or make a copy to your own gdrive to download this file.
Sigh, I hope I'm not spamming the forums, but they seem to be inactive and I can't seem to find a solution...
My phone's usb port is aparently damaged. When connected to my computer, it will only charge, with no response whatsoever from the computer.
This by itself represent no problem, as I can just use the SD card for file transfers, but now I need Odin, but without USB it woun't work (evidently).
There is some app like FlashFire that works with S5830i?
Hey, what is the current state of your phone (rooted, unrooted, bricked, etc.) and also what is it your aiming to achieve?
If you are having trouble with the google play store "Rom manager" app installing CWM recovery on your L3 then hopefully following this guide will help you.
Around 2019 the servers for the rom manager app were still working for the l3, I know this because I actually installed CWM on my l3 that year without issues concerning the server connections. After 2019 though I think that the servers got shut down at least for the l3. I remember vaguely that in 2020 I tried the app and couldn't get it to work to install CWM. The method that I will describe below includes a CWM img that was backed up when I needed to restore my phone back in 2019. Idk though, I might be wrong about the whole thing and you can still use the app.
This should also work if you aren't rooted and this guide assumes that you are on stock.
Prerequisites:
Make sure that your phone is charged and you have a usb cable.
--------
Installing CWM recovery for LG l3
1. Download and install the LG drivers for this phone here (drive link). If you already have drivers for this phone then skip this step.
2. Download Android AIO Flasher here (XDA post)
3. Download the CWM img file here (drive link)
4. Connect up phone to the PC using the USB cable.
4. Enable USB debugging on your phone. This can be done by opening:
Settings --> Applications --> Development --> USB debugging
5. Extract and open up the Android AIO flasher tool and click on the dropdown menu in the center that says "Reboot Menu".
6. Select "Fastboot mode' under the dropdown menu and click on "Reboot".
7. The phone should now boot into Fastboot mode. The fastboot screen should have a bunch of white text on black background.
8. In the Android AIO Flasher tool, select "Recovery" under the "Fastboot flasher" section at the top left of the screen.
9. Click on "Select file" under the "Fastboot flasher section and find the CWM recovery file that you downloaded earlier. Select the file and click "Open".
10. Finally, click on the big "Flash" button in the Fastboot flasher section. Everything is good once the box at the bottom of the tool says "OKAY xxx sec".
11. Unplug your phone and take out the battery (don't worry this won't harm anything in my personal experience).
You are now done installing!
Booting into CWM recovery
1. Turn off device
2. Hold buttons:
Home - Volume up - Power
3. Once the phone vibrates, release all buttons. Your L3 should now boot into CWM recovery
--------------
Note: If you know the commands for the adb fastboot command line then you can use that rather than using the AIO tool
Please tell me if there is anything that I could improve with the guide
