I'm not a specialist, to be honest I'm noob. After failure with ADB sideload (nakasi and grouper) I've instaled TWRP via Nexus Root Toolkit, then tried 8b2531d9d9a686c7dcf347513ce8141d59a251c6.signed-nakasi-JWR66Y-from-JWR66V.8b2531d9 with no succes, after that I've used grouper.zip, and it worked. After update instalation was succes, TWRP asked me if I want to repair SU permissions, gave YES to that and thats all. Everything works fine, with ROOT.

Grouper.zip seems to be the deciding factor. Thanks for the info. If you need to you, can use the command "boot" instead of "flash" when you need to use, say, TWRP, and it just boots into that recovery instead of overwriting stock.

Facing problem with status 7 on complete stock rom with root yet just want to install package from Google direct .

Use the following method that work for me.

Prerequisite :Busybox, Terminal program

Code: 
In /system/etc 

Assuming you have busybox installed, open a terminal session and enter these commands:
su
cd /system/etc
mount -o remount,rw /system
chattr -i install-recovery.sh

And then reboot to recovery to retry the OTA installation.

Above commands were found on Nexus 4 forum. Not my stuff , but work for me ..i find it have least risk as no unknown update package involved..only change of permission .

Could someone help me? I'm a complete newbie so please bear with me.

I currently have firmware JWR66N and I'd like to install the firmware that fixes touch issues but I'm not sure where to start. I'm rooted with stock recovery. If someone could tell me step by step what I need to download and do I'd appreciate it.

Hi there ,

My device is on Clean Rom 4 , and if I'm right I'm not able to use flashable update by twrp ! Is this correct ? If so, where can I download flashable stock update by twrp ?

Thanks

After I got the status 7 error message, I unrooted my nexus and then I was able to install the update. Before starting the system, I flashed the supersu zip and everything was fine. :)

Bingo! I explained why and posted something similar a few pages back as well:

Unrooting also works for the same reason.

If you aren't using a custom kernel to run the SuperSU/Superuser daemon (either by native service built into the kernel ramdisk, or via init.d script) then you should probably +i it again to make sure it can't be tampered with, since it's the only thing ensuring you have root.

chattr +i = the "immutable" bit. :)

Hi all. I got stuck when I tried to apply the OTA update to my nakasig device on stock (JWR66V + root + TWRP) to JWR66Y. I got an error about updating failed in recovery, and I lost TWRP and root too.

Anyway, after much investigation I came across the same diagnosis as you, although I solved it slightly differently. Following this post;

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44886292&postcount=102

...I made the same changes to the nakasig OTA update from Google. I rebooted into TWRP and applied my patched update plus Chain SU just to be sure. Success!

If anyone want to try, I've attached the patched update.

For reference, I edited \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script and commented out the following lines;

Code: 
# ui_print("Removing unneeded files...");
# delete("/system/recovery.img");

# ui_print("Unpacking new recovery...");
# package_extract_dir("recovery", "/system");

# set_perm(0, 0, 0544, "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh");

I also deleted the \recovery folder, and the following files in \META-INF\ ;

CERT.RSA
CERT.SF
MANIFEST.MF

(these files/folders were deleted to match the patched updater by efrant in the linked post.

HTH, no guarantees, but it worked for me.

Android is Upgrading

Hi all, I was wondering if any one has come across this issue regarding the ota update.

So I read through all this post and eventually managed to get the update (grouper.zip) working after replacing some system files, I believe it was to do with a version of beats audio drivers that I used to have installed, anyway so after the grouper done its thing I rebooted and got this brief message

android is upgrading
starting apps

Everything seems fine but I get this message every time I reboot my nexus7

I am a semi noob at all this but I manage to get my way through most things by reading and investigating as with my JB cfw446 PS3,
but I have not seen a comment about this - unless I missed it so any help would be of great thanks.
