Kit Kat KRT16S rolling out - Nexus 7 General

I just got an OTA.
http://android.clients.google.com/p...signed-nakasi-KRT16S-from-KRT16O.3aad414b.zip
Changelog: https://funkyandroid.com/aosp-KRT16O-KRT16S.html
My initial analysis.. It's tiny, 1.5 megs large. It's adding the recovery-from-boot.p stuff back, something I think disappeared in like 4.3 or so, so this will wipe out custom recovery when booted. Just remove the file from /system and re-flash recovery.
Bunch of files are patched, including build.prop for build info but it's still 4.4. No kernel change.
You'll have to re-root, as usual. This, with the recovery wipe, means you'll be using fastboot to flash recovery, re-flash supersu, etc.
AdAway is saying it can't remount /system. I didn't have this problem previously, so something might have changed here. I can do it manually in adb but AdAway keeps failing to do it itself.

Any idea what it does?

I just got the exact same thing! It looks like a patch to the original 4.4 OTA.

Analyzing, although I'm not the best at this. Looks like it's enabling the recovery-from-boot.p again, something that seemed to disappear in like 4.3. Will over-write custom recovery, so we'll have to delete the file from /system and re-flash CWM/TWRP.
It's patching a large number of other files, but I couldn't guess what it's doing. I'm sure someone else could.
It flashed fast enough on my system, I'll update if it changed to 4.4.1 or anything like that.

I've flashed the update KRT16S and recovery not wiped. Twrp still there and working.

My recovery is gone after that little update. I even tried reflashing it using fastboot and it was not installed after a reboot again so something is writing over TWRP on a reboot for me.

Read the op

I also got the OTA update today. It blasted away TWRP and SU. Simple process to reload both.
BTW... the KRT16O update files no longer appear for download on the Nexus Factory Image page on Google, replaced with KRT16S.

ADAway has no problem for me. adaway 2.3 with superSU1.69. Both recovery image and supersu need to reinstall again.

I flashed stock recovery and unrooted just to be safe, then used ADB sideload to apply the update. All went well. I'm letting it sit for a while before flashing TWRP and installing SuperSU.......

I did the same thing but I'm getting an error while installing the update, error 7 I think. Any ideas?

The exact same thing happened to me when I tried to install the JWR66Y-to-KRT16O. I got lucky this time. Whew!
You could try downloading the full factory image from Google, extract the image files, and use fastboot flash. I would do that with boot.img and system.img
If that fails, you probably have something inside the system files that isn't stock.

I let the OTA update on its own. I lost root and TWRP, but only took a few minutes to reroot and push TWRP back on. All is well.

I flashed it, but now I am unable to boot into recovery. It takes me to the bootloader instead.
The only way I can get back into recovery is to flash and older version of CWM. Is anyone else having this issue?
Same problem here, with i9020.
i've a german nexus s (.23) it works very well!

I have the same proble. I have to flash back to CWM 3.0.0.0 to able to go to recovery mode. I'm not sure whether it's becuase I rooted my wiht this methode "Root & custom recovery WITHOUT oem unlock & wipe ".
Any suggestion? Or just stay with CMW 3.0.0.0?
You can try this one. In the same forum. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988686

It also killed my recovery.
This killed my recovery too. I did as Suprakarma suggested and all is well.
From within RomManager, run the fix permissions script.
(This had a problem on my device, it appears it doesn't like the BusyBox that Titanium Backup installed, so I had to install a new copy from the market).
Once that script's finished, reboot, then reinstall recovery from Rom Manager. Boot into recovery.
Hope that helps.
nop working i fix permition and flash recovery and stell same no working

Do you install through custom recovery?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
In case anyone had any doubts, the name and checksum on the zip file is indeed the same as the update on Google's servers so it's all good. I don't use a custom recovery but stock recovery works fine if you sideload from Android 4.4.1 to 4.4.2 as I did.
I installed through twrp. Stock rooted. No problem.

On the Android with red exclamation mark screen, you need to hold the power button in and quickly press (not hold) the volume up key to access the stock recovery menu.

Do a Google search for "How to sideload Kitkat 4.4.1 on the Nexus 5" and follow the instructions from Samuel Oh. He explains it all clearly.

Tried to flash 4.2 to 4.2.2 and installation aborted. Stock rooted here
I never got the 4.4.1 update and just got 4.4.2 ota by doing the clear Google services framework cache, force stop, then cleared cache again, check for update. And here it is.

I got the 4.4.2 update, coming from stock 4.4 no root, just plain stock. DIdn't have to clear anything, just popped up.
Yeah, my n10 just got the update immediately (4.4.2), I probably could have just waited, but meh

Yep I meant 4.4 to 4.4.2. Just no luck doesn't work at all. Tried from recovery and side load and removing root and installing stock recovery and nothing works. If I do it from the system update it says rebooting in 10 seconds then counts down and does nothing.
with me after the OTA download 4.4.2.zip and flash pops up from the TWRP: Failed

Installing OTA update with TWRP recovery?

I've been getting the "System update downloaded" card popping up over the past day on my Live, but I can't install it. It needs to reboot to recovery and install it, but I have TWRP installed, so it just goes to the recovery main menu and does nothing.
Is there any way to install updates with the way my watch is currently, or do I have to flash stock recovery, update, then reflash TWRP?
Did you get it to work?
I flash stock wear recovery, then installed update. Went into recovery and started to install then it stopped and gave me the android with the triangle.
Downloading update from android police, i will try to adb sideloade update.

No, the exact same thing happens to me, and I get "Status 7" error and the same screen you got.
I used Tomsgt utility to lock bootloader and stock recovery.went to settings, system updates. Started to download update. After it downloaded flashed update. All is good. I'm on 5.0.1
Good luck! Let me know if this works for you.

I had to flash the stock KMV78Y located here before I could update (that's what the status 7 was about).
All good now.

Lost custom recovery (twrp)

Hey guys and gals,
I have recently taken delivery of my shiny new nexus 6,and rooted using mskips's android toolkit, unlocked bootloader and flashed twrp last night. I am not home at the moment,and just finished work and realised the system has replaced my custom recovery with the stock recovery but I am still rooted. What gives? I downloaded the latest chroma rom ready to flash only to find I'm running a stock recovery and no pc for a few days. Would a factory reset revert the handset to fully out of the box unmodified settings for uodates.?

theres a file that you need to delete before you reboot the first time, or it will replace your custom recovery with stock. OR, when flashing, you used the word boot instead of flash. boot only boots it one time.

January OTA update error

Hi Everyone
Just wondering if anyone has a problem with the current OTA update? Smallish 5MB file.
When my phone reboots I have a system error with the green Android man on his back.
Not Rooted, clean factory image install this weekend. So there shouldn't be any problems.
TIA
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
Not rooted, or never been rooted? Is recovery stock too?
Yep completely stock. Needs to be for work. Have unlocked the bootloader, but not rooted.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
about how much of the bar gets filled before it fails? about 40%ish of the way done usually indicates system fingerprint verification failed. You can also try installing it through recovery sideloading and it will give you more detailed feedback while installing that might help you pinpoint the problem.
Thank you...
The update reboots to recovery and falls over immediately.
Will have a go at sideloading through recovery.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
Go to your recovery, and wipe cache partition. Then, boot up, and wait for OTA to be pushed to you again - this time, it should install ok.
