[Q] KitKat 4.4.2 Update fail on rooted Nexus 7 2013 Wifi - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Help !!!
I just updated my NEXUS 7 2013 from 4.4 to 4.4.2 but after restarting, the Android version in settings still says 4.4.
I checked for updates again in System Updates menu but my device says the system is up to date.
My device is Nexus 7 2013 32G rooted under TWRP 2.6.3.1 recovery on Super SU root.
I also tried updating manually using TWRP zip update but it failed.
here's the part of the prompt during TWRP update:
Verifying current system...
"/system/bin/debuggerd" has unexpected contents.
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/Dow...
Hope someone can help me find a solution for this. Thanks!

I auto updated my nexus 7 2013 wifi 32gb with 4.2.2 and there were no problems. I put the device back to stock 4.4 first and unrooted the tablet as well. My suggestion is to get the toolkit and select any version for device then select flash stock and unroot box. I did this and received the ota update the next day. After updating successfully you can root and install custom recovery again if that is what you want. Do not OEM lock the device because every time you unlock it again you will erase all content.
Best of luck

Being rooted is fine. I was rooted just had to uninstall stickmount, and it updated from 4.3 to 4.4.2, I did lose root, but that was easily rectified.

How did you update? Side-load?

I'm guessing the Stickmount issue is only present on 4.4 because I was on 4.4.1 (Stock Rooted ROM by Scroler) and flashed the OTA I received on device in TWRP and it successfully updated to 4.4.2...and I never lost root ?

Cool, I just ran the update myself with no issues. I just changed back to the stock recovery first and ran the ota to 4.4 no problem. I was worried about it though because I had issues when doing my Nexus 4 but it was my fault. At the end in the recovery when it asked if I wanted it to fix root I clicked yes. I should have clicked no and just rerooted using wug or something.
Now I am going to grab the 4.4.2 update. I do not have ota yet for 4.1 or 4.2 on my Nex 7. My Nex 4 though is all set at 4.4.2 and it seems like they really fixed tons of stuff! I can't wait to get that on the 7!!
Thanks:good:

I used to have OTA problems with Stickmount and that damn debuggered file on my 2012 Nexus 7. Never installed it on my flo as a result.
Are you saying that simply uninstalling Stickmount will be sufficient for an OTA to take successfully? Does uninstalling reinstate the previous debuggered file, or must we replace it manually?

Yes. Upon installation, Stickmount makes a backup of debuggerd in the same directory with a bak extension, when uninstalled it renames it to debuggerd, restoring the stock debuggerd, I did not have to put it back manually.

I thought the issue was to do with OTA updates and and not flashing updates from recovery as this is defeating the purpose of OTA udates.

I am on 4.3, unlocked and rooted with TWRP recovery.
The 4.42 update notification had been there for a while and I finally decided to take the plunge.....
I ran the update through the notification and my device rebooted into the TWRP custom recovery. Not knowing what to do, I rebooted again and checked the version. Nothing had changed and I am still at 4.3.
However the System Update notification had disappeared. I checked for System Update and it says my device is up-to-date....
How do I get the OTA update again?
What do I have to do to get the update installed on my device?
I have since also uninstalled StickMount.

You could always just do a full wipe and restore it to factory defaults. That'll do it for sure.

The over the air will not work if you have a custom recovery. You have to flash the update zip with TWRP or whatever custom recovery you are using. You could move the update from "cache" to "storage" if you still had it or just download it to storage and then flash (Install) it with TWRP..

Did you uninstall any bloat apps? If so, did you restore a backup or is everything just working for you? I am rooted on JB leak and uninstalled many bloat apps and just trying to figure out what my next step is here. And what does SBF stand for? Sorry for the ignorance, never owned a locked bootloader phone before so this is all new lol.

I only disabled bloat apps, didn't uninstall any. It checks to make sure all system apps are present (but not enabled). Your only option if you've uninstalled bloat apps using something like TiBu and if you've installed the JB leak is to revert to ICS factory image. SBF is "system boot file."
You're going to need to grab the ICS fastboot file from the dev forum and install it before either the OTA or this will work.
Root on its own is not a problem but if you have changed system apps (bloat is all "system") you'll need to do that.
If you installed safestrap that's fine, but you have to uninstall the recovery using the app before this will work because it checks the boot sequence.
Is the official update going to be worth it if we already have the leaked jellybean? All the sites I've read provide the same information regarding the new features for the update (all the same as the jellybean leak). If anyone has updated to the official jellybean from the leaked can you provide any information regarding the differences between the two
Confirmed working, and according to the Verizon PDF this official version has improved 4g reception as well as less drops on signal, improved WiFi and Bluetooth its running fine for me, going to try root and safe strap now
---------- Post added at 06:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:07 AM ----------
Root not working which means safe strap is not working.... reverting back too old jb leak for the time being
Installed and working great.
OTARootkeeper backed up root then temp uninstalled root. Booted into stock recovery, flashed OTA from sd card, booted up, restored root, made sure entitlement_check was still set to "0"....tested stock hotspot app and works great.
Thanks OP for providing the link.
Can't wait for a non Verizon version of this. The RAZR M has to be my favorite android phone so far - great form factor and great hardware... just being stuck on ice cream sandwich is a bit **** but I'm prepared to wait

Yes, this is Verizon's official OTA. I haven't been running long so I will not comment much on stability. For the first few minutes one system app continuously force closed and restarted and the notification bar / soft keys disappeared. A reboot solved those problems.

The SU binaries were deleted during my install, despite OTARootkeeper. However superuser responded to app requests giving the appearance of root.
And you are welcome.

Root checker stated I was rooted. May have to check again to make sure the binaries are still there. Will mess w/ her (g/f's) phone when she's done using it.
Just went back to Jellywiz from Paranoid on my S3 w/ some new radios we got leaked, so been busy setting all my crap back up.
Really hoping we can get Pimp My Rom on the M soon.
I also had no issues re-rooting with OTA Rootkeeper after manual update. I think I'm enjoying project butter the most!

Updated, Rooted, and now I get an update?

So I updated to 4.1.2 recently and decided I'd simply root my phone. Now today I have the AT&T updater telling me I have an update pending. I'm already on 4.1.2 and the only possible reason I could conceive as to why this is popping up is because during rooting something must have changed and that flagged the updater as me having an obsolete firmware. Anyone else getting this?

If you are going to stick with stock, you may want to use autoruns to disable the check for updates. That way at least the notification will go away.

Cannot update Android 4.3 OTA JWR66Y from JWR66V

Hello i tried to install OTA the new update to my galaxy nexus but it failed. I tried also to install it using custom recovery but again it failed to install it. Does anyone know how i can install it without to lose my data?
In your custom recovery it should tell you why it failed. My guess is that something about your setup isn't stock, you will need to get it back to stock.

Hi, I have the same issue: JWR66Y from JWR66V failed. I just get "error" after reboot.
-i don't have root, using the stock image
-i've gone from yakjuxw to takju thanks to Efrant's guide :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
So, I have 2 questions:
1.Is it possible to do the OTA in this case ?
2.Is it possible to get rid of the OTA ?
Any of the above will do just fine.
Thanks !
My issue is a little different. I got the OTA to update on my N4 via not having any modifications on my phone and having the the latest SuperSU v1.55. I remained rooted and ran the update via Flashify in TWRP 2.6 It was successful however I lost root and TWRP. My problem is now I cannot flash a custom recovery (via fastboot), for some reason they just don't stick and I am searching for help now.

[Solved] Android keeps requesting to install 4.3 ota, error when updating

I have a i9250 gsm Galaxy Nexus, maguro. JWR66V. It used to be Yajuux but I changed this to Yakju with Wug Fresh's Nexus Tool kit. I manually updated my phone to 4.3. However, about once a week, I get a notice that my phone would like to update to 4.3. The download is only 1.7mb. Once I allow the update, the phone reset, boots up and says "installing system update" with the android mascot on the screen and a swirly atom-thing at his stomach. After about a minute a message comes up that says "error!" with the android mascot now on his back. I have to remove the battery and restart my phone, otherwise it hangs. The update notice won't come back for another week, unless I stop the google service framework app and clear the data. I'm assuming these system updates are to upgrade to JWR66Y, but I don't know why I keep having these errors. Any help/advice would be appreciated.
Figured it out
Solved. I managed to sideload the update through the Nexus toolkit. Even after updating though, it didn't show the correct version. I had to unroot by uninstalling supersu (survival mode didn't work), then doing the OTA update, then reinstalling the binaries for Supersu.
Can anyone recommend a good site/feed that keeps track of these security updates/other major updates?
And the toolkit gets the credits, even when the user still has no idea what just happened.

The reason the update doesn't install is because you are using a third party recovery.img (twrp) and Android cannot update your phone with twrp, only with it's own recovery. You can download the update posted in one of the threads and install from twrp.

Not if you only install the update. You will have to reinstall supersu after the update because you will lose root.

Your device has been modified, software updates are not available.

I get " Your device has been modified, software updates are not available." when checking for OTA updates in settings. Does that mean I have to flash via Odin and wipe my device for every update?

No, just unroot using Super SU, then reboot. Once you're back up, check for updates and they will now come through, then after the update is done, reroot, I just did all of that so I know it will work.
Didn't work for me. I removed quite a lot of Samsung apps and other things I don't need ( atm. 51 apps). I defrosted all of them to see it that was causing it. I also unrooted multiple times to no avail.

That's weird, I even forgot to defrost the Knox apps and the update still applied successfully. The Knox apps were the only ones I froze, and since the update was successful it must have unfrozen them when I un rooted, either that or the update didn't touch any files related to Knox, or maybe freezing apps still shows them as there to system and fw updates.
I'm getting the same message. I think it's because I deleted a few system apps, instead of just freezing them. I just have to find another copy of Windows, so I can use Odin.
I don't have anything deleted, unfrozen everything, unroot, keep getting the same message.

I am currently having the exact same problem.
one step i did when i got the error was to reroot and then unroot just to make sure that it unrooted properly and to unfreeze all the apps i had frozen. i also cleared the cache in recovery.

How do I get to recovery mode?
adb reboot recovery in a command prompt or terminal emulator.
or hold power and volume up at boot up.
Nothing worked for me to get the OTA. For some reason I was able to update using Kies. It took forever to download the update but it worked.
