Nexus 7 Toolkit (Root) 4.1 - Wants to update

So I had Jelly Bean on my N7 from factory. I decided to root it, and I used the toolkit to root it.
It reverted it to 4.1 and deleted everything (basically a stock flash) which was irritating, but I got it all set back up.
Just got a pop up to update it to 4.2.
What should I do?
If 4.1 is better, how do I make the pop up to update go away.
If 4.2 is better, will I maintain root through the update? If no, how can I, or reroot.

If 4.1 is better is kind of personal choice, most like the 4.2 update, some hate.
Technically it's better because it comes with new features but it also nixes a few like tablet UI and some of the new functions are still a bit buggy (esp. multiuser related things).
Not sure you can get rid of the update dialog permanentely.
If you just let the update go it's course you'll loose root - but that's not a problem, as you can simply re-root after the update.

I'm pretty sure I was already on 4.2 when I rooted it using the toolkit. If I do the update, and reroot, won't it drop me back down to 4.1 again?

Use ota rootkeeper app from the play store to keep root when updating. That's what I used and worked perfectly.

HI all, this thread answered most of the questions i had but one,
when i unlocked/rooted 4.1 i installed twrp then updated twrp with goomanager app ....now seeing as im on the newest twrp recovery i wont have any bootloops or anything when i click up update right?

anyone?
bump*

Bootloops have nothing to do with the recovery, they are usually caused by incompatible system data from a different ROM.
Since you'll be updating the "same ROM" to a newer version (stock 4.1.x to 4.2, if I go you right) everything should be fine.

Went ahead and did the update. It maintained root as far as I can tell...
Not 100% sure I had JB to begin with now...
jj92942000, I think I lost all my settings etc because I didn't do a back-up. I skipped that step like a moron.
The Root Toolkit has a very nice walkthrough

This is what I know. Correct me if I'm wrong.
The N7 gets a reset when you unlock the bootloader, not by rooting (flashing su.zip) or flashing a custom recovery.. This is supposed to be a "security feature" by Google.
The S3 comes with an already open bootloader. Furthermore other vendors might not have included this "security feature" in their phones/tablets.

I did the OTA update to 4.2 and did not lose root. Prior to update I was on stock 4.1 with Trinity kernel and rooted using nexus toolkit and CWMR. Only thing I had to do was flash back to stock 4.1 kernel as the OTA failed with Trinity, then using CWMR installed the update that was sat in the cache. At the end of flashing the update CWMR warned me that the ROM I was installing wanted to use its own recovery, click no to keep CWMR, then it warned that root may be lost, click yes to keep root.
No other apps needed and I'm now on stock 4.2 with root access. Only thing in have lost is my tablet interface from build prop tweaks. Once I find a way round that happy days!

Changing the lcd density so you get the full tablet view instead of this oversized phone ie phablet view. Not sure if it works on 4.2 though and haven't found the thread with the files to modify to try it out.

4.4.2 root?

i just got the note 3 n900a, and was wondering if there is a root for it yet'? also, any issues with 4.4.2? I'm aware that i cannot go back to 4.3 so want to make sure theres no issues id have on 4.4.2

Yes you can root the N900A. I recommend using Kingo.
You are correct in that once you go 4.4.2, you can't go back to 4.3. There may or may not be issues with kit kat builds. You have to do the research yourself and see. What might be an issue for me, might not be for you. Look here for available roms. Read the instructions for each rom COMPLETELY!! Read the posts for any bugs that might pertain, or that have been fixed.

I've been on 4.4.2 for about a week. So far no major issue's. 2 days after I loaded kitkat my contacts app forced closed but it didn't happen again and 1 reboot. I use it as my daily driver and haven't had any issue's but the couple I just mentioned. It's a pretty solid build. Can't wait for the official release. ?

[Q] Just got 4.4.2 ATT Note 3 N900AUC. Rooting options?

hello everyone! today I just got my Note 3 N900a. with 4.4.2 KK today.I would like to root but I don't really know where to start as I don't want to brick this device. my G Pro is rooted and custom flashed but this is my first time dealing with Knox. so I have a few questions before I dive in:
1. Will Kingo root my Note 3 and not trip knox or UVDLV work better?..what about CF-Autoroot?.I heard sammy caught on so it might not work..but I saw that it will work but still trip knox? i'm rather confused here.. My AP is N900AUCUCNC2.
2. IF I DO GET ROOT PRIVILEGES. I know that I can't flash a custom recovery and there is an ongoing bounty to unlock the bootloader. So is it safe to use safetrap and will it affect knox? Or will safestrap remove my Recovery? (On my old S4 I did the mistake of Goomanagering a recovery and wiped my stock recovery but It still worked fine haha..just couldn't update or it would go into ODIN loop..which I could get out of) I will probably want to flash a custom de-bloated KK TW ROM if I do get the chance. I used safestrap on my old Razr M but is it different now? I sound like a total idiot right now but before the Note 3 I pretty much am a confident android power user but what scares me is that while I was using my G Pro, my friend from work had a Note 3 and he bricked it and now he's stuck using his Note 2. I don't want to make a critical mistake. If a more experienced user could guide me and show me what my options are or what I have to work with I would love you forever! XD

well this is a turn of events..my wife's white note 3 was 4.3 and the black one is 4.4.2. She knows that i'm a frequent rooter and that she was also debating getting the black one at the store. Plus she liked the B&W statusbar colors. So instead so I took her white one. She has the non-rootable 4.4.2 phone (she's not that much of a power user)...so now I have 4.3 to use...is THIS exploitable? my N900a Note 3's AP ends in MJ5.

cool, I remember I had to do that on my S3 when I used EZ-Unlocker. Now in regards to this ROM (which is the one i'm looking at)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2714601
It requires 4.4.2 and rooted. I'm on 4.3 and rooted. If 4.4.2 is unrootable right now..how would I do it?..how would I go from 4.3 rooted to 4.4.3 and not be tied down?
I know the leaked non-official KK doesn't lock you down to KK and the AT&T version permanently does.

it should give you KK back that too with root.

Dude... I've seen you on many posts telling people not to root or unlock bootloader... or not to flash stuff etc etc... Why would you come to xda if you dont want any of that? use your phone normally and wait for OTAs if you are so scared... yes flashing things like a moron will lead to soft bricks and bootloops. but those are basics of debugging any device... if one doesnt know how to recover from a soft brick then he/she shouldn't flash things to their device. Yes nowadays playing (and messing) with our devices is really easy, so noobs tend to make mistakes... I have too in the past. But if you stay scared then you dont belong on XDA

As for your problem, if you have root on 5.1 right now... go to playstore and download TWRP manager... (this is because TWRP is more stable, and supports all ROMs from 4.4.4 to 5.1, unlike philz touch or CWM) otherwise you can manually download the .img file and flash it via cmd prompt on PC. (If you dont know how to do that just let me know... I'll guide you through the process)
then download the flashable zip of your choice (I suggest official CyanogenMod11 ... I use it as my daily driver and confirm that it is stable with everything working)
Here is the link
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=sprout
additionally you need to download GAPPS from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942
Copy the two downloaded files to your external sd card (remember the path)
then boot into recovery and flash (install) them... then reboot to system and voila!! you are back on 4.4.4 !!
PS. I advise against going back to stock 4.4.4 because there are some added precautions you must take, otherwise you risk losing your imei , and wont be able to make calls/sms/mobile internet. Switching to CM is much safer and easier... plus gauranteed official (and faster than google) updates thanks to our beloved dev Varun Chitre

Download the factory image of 4.4.4 and place it in ADB folder ( if u have not setup adb, search in Google ), now take a backup of your current os via recovery ( just in case ), next wipe cache partition, factory reset. Now connect to PC, flash the factory image through ADB. [emoji2]

Easiest way to downgrade is to flash cwm backup of kitkat stock rom via custom recovery.If you had made clockworkmod backup of your rom before upgrading then just restore it from recovery after wiping data,system,boot and cache partition,there is no need for pc and Sp flash tool. If you have no backup then try to look for it on xda,and flash, it works without any issue.

No. CyanogenMod is a different organisation altogether. They have those Jenkins(server) which builds for officially supported devices daily and uploads them (which will be downloaded later by the users as OTA)

Do you think we could see a Android 5.1 update? I really would hope so for as slowly as they've been rolling it out, or what do you think the possibilities of (after LP Update is released) seeing a 5.1 rom is?
5.1 looks a lot better to me than 5.0.1/5.0.2 minor small improvements and what not.

sorry mate ... i don't usually stay stock for too long but this one I have ...i'm sure the ROM chefs will be on this soon enough ... I I just finished my dl and installation ... it is lollipop ver 5.0 ...... yes 5.0 ... interesting huh? hopefully they have worked out the all the bugs

I need help downloading the new update I only rooted my device but ever since I rooted my device it says custom at boot and now I can't get any updates

Will i lose root if i update to Lollipop ?
I am on stock, but need root to delete all crapware like ATT navigator and what not. If i update to Lollipop, will I lose root ?

Got to reflash the official odin firmware latest probably then don't root just check for updates and take it.

Also yes after getting lollipop you can just reroot with towelroot and debloat your rom.

3/24/2015 at&t just released lollipop for note 3 n900a

Negative ghost rider, towelroot doesn't work on anything passed 4.4.2. It doesn't even work on any flavor of 4.4.4, such as NL1. The only way to root from stock LP is to downgrade via Odin to a firmware supported by TR (4.4.2) and root from there, install safe strap, blah, blah, and flash a pre-rooted LP ROM, then reflash the LP kernel, modem, etc.

Odd it worked for my rom in my sig and it's 4.4.4 based, what about framaroot then I wonder?
Ohh well if what ya say is true we should be seeing the LP rom's coming soon in the next week.

Is there an external download source for the Lollipop ROM to install via ODIN yet? I'm on X Note and just want to wipe and flash through odin rather than flash to stock, downgrade and OTA etc....
