Hi All,
I'm relatively new to Android (had the Nexus 7 for about a year). My questions is this:
I have 4.2.2 currently loaded. When I orinally got the nexus 7, I used a toolkit to unlock the bootloader and root the device, so I could install SixAxis and a few other apps that required root.
What is the easiest way for me to now update to 4.3? Will the OTA update that is bound to show up on the device shortly work?
BTW This is the WiFi only Nexus 7, 16 GB and my main PC at home is a Mac.
Thanks.

Get it locked and unrooted to get OTA possiblt easiest way.
Otherwise flash the factory images:thumbup:

Do you have a link of a guide that I could follow on how to flash the factory image?
Can I download the zip and then use the clockwork recovery i have installed to load the zip?
I don't think that having the bootloader locked or unlocked will really affect the OTA..
Am I right or am I right?

I dont think having it unlocked will effect the ota (it hasnt in the past for me), but it sounded like he wanted to flash the factory image. I actually have a nandroid of it on my unlocked n7. Gonna flash the official and see if I can get the ota later...
I've taken OTAs no problem on an unlocked, rooted device with TWRP recovery. So you're fine.

So I downloaded what I believe to be the right file, ab67ca07c4b2e03eca795ada10ff041b77fbb7bf.signed-nakasi-JWR66V-from-JDQ39.ab67ca07 (1).zip.
I then reboot my nexus 7 into clockworkmod revovery and select install zip, choose zip from sdcard, browse to the aboev file but then get an error:
It ends in (Status 7) Installation aborted.
What am I missing?
Also, just tried via adb sideload and that didn't work either.

Did you install the aosp browser and rename the default browser apk and odex files or modify the buildprop file? Those must be as original to take the update. Also, you should have gotten a message about what failed when you get the Status 7 error. What else did it say?

No to all of the above. I don't know what odex files or buildprop file would refer to, so I defintely haven't modified them.

Does it make a difference that my current build number in "about tablet" shows as JDQ39 and not JDFQ39 as above?
The problem file is 'debuggerd' in the /system/bin folder as it says in the error message. I had the same issue previously on the last N7 update. I had to get the original file from someone since the file had been replaced by another app (possibly Stickmount) or it can be extracted from the previous update to 4.2.2. I don't know about the JDFQ39 compared to the download file showing JDQ39, but that is the same file I downloaded. The (1).zip means you had previously downloaded the file and this is an additional d/l. That shouldn't be a problem, but you can delete the (1) if you want.
I'll try flashing through CWM and let you know if mine worked. If so, I can send you the right 'debuggerd' file.

Ok great. I do have stickmount installed...
Well, I got the debuggerd error also. I'll try the backup debuggered file I used in the last update. Otherwise, I'll have to find the debuggerd file from 4.2.2. Any help out there?

Still no joy. I think someone will have to get the right debuggerd file and get it to one us on a pm or email. Also, I noticed on my update try that the file was listed as JDQ39. ... and not the JDFQ39. ... that you saw.

once we get the file, how do I replace the file with the debuggerd that is currently on the nexus?
What I will do is to copy the debuggerd file to the N7 internal storage root folder from my pc. Then I will rename /system/bin/debuggerd to debuggerd.bak (or whatever extension you want to add). Then I will copy the correct debuggerd file from sdcard to /system/bin and try the update again. I started a new thread asking for someone with an unaltered 4.2.2 debuggerd file to send it to me. If I get it I'll pass it along to you.

Are you using a tool like ES File Manager to do the moving and renaming of files etc?
Not sure what I'm doing wrong here, maybe somebody can tell me if I'm missing a step??
I am trying to install the noticounter widget and can't get it to take for some reason. I have flashed the zip file in TWRP a couple times now (it claimed it was successful, but it doesn't seem to have installed anything.)
Is there some other way of installing this that I am unaware of??

Just install it like any other app, no need to use TWRP.
Either install via ADB: adb install /path/to/app.apk
Or via Wondershare.
Alternate, download APK to your phone, use native BT file transfer and then install file.

I´we never posted any zips, here´s the correct download:

If it looks like a zip is probably because your unpacking program makes it look like a zip.

I find sometimes when downloading apk file it downloads as a zip. Just rename from .zip to .apk
Then transfer to watch and run it on the watch

Did you do unzip
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app
No, I hadn't, see here I'm confused. Step 1 says unzip, but Step 9 says select unzipped file, so which should it be?
To decide, I did a little research and found out Odin should open .tar and .tar.md5 files directly, so I figured it wasn't necessary to unzip.
Anyway it doesn't find it either way, I just tried unzipping but I can't find the .img file with Odin either =/ What am I doing wrong?
.rsrc folder
One more thing, when I try to open the Downloads folder where I left the .tar file, all I can see through Odin is this .rsrc folder that apears to be empty.
Try to download it again
And unzip it
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app
Solved!
Thank you both, I figured it out! I know it's dumb...but I didn't realize you had to run everything in Administrator mode (apparently). I tried this and it worked, it seems I was running Odin as Admin but in a non-Admin account and the files were hidden or something...
Anyway, sorry to bother you with my dumb question, but I hope this can help another dumb noob like me!
I'm ridiculously happy with my brand new CM 11 now, time to play with it!

The zip file you have must have an error in it.
Here is a direct download link for cf-autoroot for N910T v2.8.1.1:

I just tested this zip file and it's perfect, no errors in it.
The one you have has some kind of error in it for sure.
Good luck!

Hello ladies and gents. As you may have been able to tell from the title, I made a huge mistake when playing around with my phone's build.prop file. I had tapped on the ro.build.description file and it pulled up the keyboard. I accidentally input an "r", so I deleted it, then saved and left the prop file, thinking everything was fine and proper. Unfortunately, that was not so. Upon my next reboot, I discovered several problems. The Playstore and gallery crash upon every open, and even worse, my internal memory isn't being recognized. I know the problems must be originating from the build description prop file, since that was the only prop file change that had happened since my last reboot. If anyone could give any tips on how to fix this or mount the external sd as internal, that would be wonderful. I need to be able to screnshot, install apps, and perform other functions that require internal storage. Please help me out ASAP.

extract the build.prop file from your rom.zip
make a flashable zip & flash it. will work normal again
(ifm u dont know how to make flashable zip, just get any flashable mod,
extract all files, delete all files , only leave the meta-inf folder with its data inside untouched & a folder called "system",
put build.prop into system folder, now mark both folders --> right click --> send to zip, put on sd & flash)
good luck!

I'm really sorry, but I don't know what you mean by my Rom. Generally, I'm pretty knowledgeable about my Android, but I've only been rooted for about a week.

I only have experience with .tar and .md5.

sorry my llate reply, lets go
he bro u know whats the rom ) you say you are on stock rom, thats all i need.
clockwork mod is no rom, its a recovery.
sorry was a small hazzle for me as you use the AT&T version of the phone, now to the solution:
we need to just replace the damaged build prop with original one.
1. download the system image here: http://www.mrcrab.net/viewstockrom/19845-sm-g730a.html (or anywhere if u find, maybe at SAMMOBILE)
2. (try) to extract the parts of it, we need the system image. if u dont know how just google it, maybe some tools needed for diffrent kind of datas. once all extracted the build.prop is inside system (-folder). copy it to SD & replace via any ROOT explorer, set the right permissions, like in this pic LINK, reboot done.
if you CANT extract that image, make you ready for completly new install of your ROM.

i use slimkat 4.4.4 by android-andi on SGS3 Mini (i8190n).
1. using root explorer, changing perm on the first / (the root dir, i believe).
2. this one is new problem, nothing to do with our recent dialogs, hope can get some idea on this one.
yesterday, i install android tweaker app, and set the auto system/device tweak( can't remember exact) and reboot my device
to apply the setting. and got stuck on boot animation (blinking 'SAMSUNG' anim, after the 'GT I8190N' image on ori ROM). it
didn't loop (no bootloop), just stuck on blinking animation, boot image i guest?
Any idea just throw in please, really want to try and confirm on any solution we got in mind.
thanks in advance everyone.
