4.2.2 update
- Thread starter Slender Troll
- Start date
Also, I was just reading through that thread and it said if you have SuperSU that it won't unroot. Is that true? Or do I need to use ota rootkeeper? I know that thread may have the answers I'm looking for, but I'm too tired to read through it all. I ask all these questions because I have no computer to reroot and reunlock the bootloader with.

I was on JOP40D (4.2.1) Stock, rooted, with CWM 6.0.2.3. I downloaded this OTA file http://android.clients.google.com/p....signed-nakasi-JDQ39-from-JOP40D.6ece895e.zip from the link in the other 4.2.2 thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2144330)
I booted into CWM, and flashed the downloaded ZIP file as normal
When I told CWM to reboot, CWM warned me the update would flash stock Recovery and do I want to STOP this from happening and I said YES.
It then said I had lost root, and do I want to restore root, and I said YES.
It then booted into Android and continued with the upgrade.
I now have 4.2.2 stock installed (JDQ39), and still have root and custom recovery, and an unlocked bootloader.
From what I have read, if you 'sideload' the update using ADB, or do a normal OTA update, you will lose root and custom recovery. However, using the steps above will keep root and recovery for you

im in the same boat,
im on 4.1.2 twrp what do i need to do to get to 4.2.2? just use that ota root keeper?
TWRP is same to CMW, but for sure you should install Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, backup SU then flash the 4.2.2 update.zip. Finally, open Voodoo and restore the backup SU --> your Root is kept. Just in case you need to verify root will work or not. Go to Play Store, install Root Checker (joeykrim) and check your root permisson.
I updated my N7 to 4.2.2 without removing root by these steps above.
Yes, if you can put your 4.2.2 OTA update.zip in your N7 Internal Storage.
Maybe by downloading the zip through wifi connect.
I don't think it matters...
I used TWRP to flash the update.
Afterwards, the bootloader was still unlocked... but had been updated from 4.13 to 4.18.
And I had to reflash TWRP as the update had wiped it out, effectively resetting recovery back to Googles default recovery.
Rgrds,

This is OTA link for N7 Wifi Only.
Connect to wifi, download the 4.2.2 update.zip to your internal storage from this link http://android.clients.google.com/p....signed-nakasi-JDQ39-from-JOP40D.6ece895e.zip (anywhere is ok, be sure to remember the path). Reboot your N7 to recovery mod (TWRP), choose install and browse to where you put your zip in internal storage.
So I'm in recovery and at the part where it gives me the option to flash. Is there anything I need to do or back up before I flash the OTA so that I don't lose root?

Just downloaded the OTA zip, went to recovery and tried "install" (both checkmarks to check md5 and zip off) and got FAILED! The device booted normally afterwards. I copied file via USB cable in standard media mode... what am I doing wrong? On 4.2.1, stock, rooted, 16gb Wifi only N7.
Try downloading it using Wi-Fi from the link above, and then back everything up. what recovery are you using? I left the zip in the download folder, so I wouldn't lose it.

Sorry, that's where my "assert failed" error was coming from.
