I would guess that the factory image contains a disk image instead of individual files. That is a much faster way to do an install if you are not concerned with preserving any of the data on the devices disk.
I don't care about the data. I have backed up everything. Just wanted to make sure it will work with just one file with flash-all command.

Nailed it.! The problem was Internet Download Manager. What I downloaded was .tgz file and IDM (i don't know why) converted it to .tar and that was the reason of not showing the contents properly.

Yes, finally I am on 4.2.2 Thanks a lot for everything. Really you have helped a lot. Now the final part, Rooting. The way you described, I would like to do the same way.
I forgot you used that super root method which roots without unlocking the bootloader
You're going to have to unlock your bootloader
Before typing "flash-all"
type this
"fastboot oem unlock" and follow the instructions on your screen to unlock the bootloader. Then proceed with flash-all.. I updated my previous post to you including this.
Delete data from google framework services (in settings all applications) and then go to settings - info about tablet - update, repeat this untill ota shows up.Guys, pls help.! My Nexus10's bootloader was locked and i used Superboot to root. It worked like charm untill i got the OTA 4.2.2. I downloaded Rootkeeper and installed the new update.
But, I got error and the device wasn't booting up. Getting the error "No command". After some time it booted up automatically. Now it's on 4.2.1 and no OTA. It says system is up to date.
Any help?

I've been following you're instructions step by step to flash 4.2.2 and everything went fine except when at the end, when the device is supposed to reboot, it gets stuck on the nexus logo. Any ideas?
Interesting.. Doesn't make much sense and never heard of that ever happening before. Try holding down power to turn it off and power it back on.. Can you boot into the bootloader still.
yeah it goes into the bootloader fine if i hold all the keys while rebooting
Hmm.. This doesn't make much sense. This is all by the book installation..
The padlock below the google logo is unlocked?
No error messages during the flashing sequence? Every single thing was sent successfully?
Yeah it's unlocked and it shows the unlocked padlock.
Everything went fine. It did say "archive does not contain 'boot.sig'" and 'recovery.sig' and system.sig' but other than that no error messages.
Here's what the CMD looks like:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\Users\Lev>cd C:\Users\Lev\Development\Android Stuff\mantaray-jdq39-factory-d7
9f489e\mantaray-jdq39
C:\Users\Lev\Development\Android Stuff\mantaray-jdq39-factory-d79f489e\mantaray-
jdq39>flash-all
*snip*
Press any key to exit...
I see the problem...
Boot into the bootloader and type
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
Edit: Then
fastboot reboot
Hey it worked! Thanks a lot! I do see the two erasing lines at the end there now. What's up with that?
No idea.. It's supposed to erase them, and then flash them.. Not the first time I've heard of the flash-all batch file not writing those two images.. Just been awhile since I've seen someone run into it.. Forgot about it.
It's no big deal as you can manually do everything the batch file does.. Or in your case follow it up with sending over the two images it missed.
Last but not least.. Once you're signed in.. Check your storage capacity.. Make sure it's reading right.. Sometimes when this happens The system will show your device showing a capacity of 6GB or so.
This has been a good example of why doing it manually is better.. You are not only doing the labor yourself, you can notice when something doesn't go right and how to immediately resolve it.
Yeah thanks for your help! I checked the storage and it says total space is 13.05 GB, but I have the 32 GB version, not the 16. Is there a way to fix this?
Yep, 1/2 the space showing. I had a feeling that would happen..
Very simple
Back to the bootloader
plug in device
fastboot update -w image-mantaray-jdq39.zip
fastboot reboot (forget if this is needed with the update -w command or not)
That'll fix it up
Still showing 13 GB (with the "-w" after the "update") Had to individually flash userdata and cache still - maybe something there?
Thanks! I tried it but got stuck in the same situation. The update was downloaded but not installed properly.
Thanks for helping. I'm all done with the setting up the variables. Whats next now?

Good call on the platform tools being outdated. I had downloaded it all today, but I just ran SDK Manager and it said there was an update available. After installing that, everything seems to work OK. It was definitely using an old fastboot as there are more options for it now. Not sure why.
Anyway, everything works perfect now! Thanks so much. I really owe you one.
