Can this get me into a soft brick and the comment over this one says?
heres what i did:
1) download the latest stock factory image from google:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#mantaray (JOP40C)
2) download the ota update
JP40C->JOP40D http://android.clients.google.com/p...gned-mantaray-JOP40D-from-JOP40C.07ac4f5d.zip
3) download the ota update
JOP40D->JDQ39 http://android.clients.google.com/p...igned-mantaray-JDQ39-from-JOP40D.eaef1443.zip
4) download the latest team win recovery
.img file:
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/manta
5) reboot into bootloader mode
6) unzip the stock firmware from step 1)
7) open command line window, cd to folder where image-mantaray-jop40c.zip is, type fastboot update image-mantaray-jop40c.zip (add option -w if you want to clear userdata aswell, this will wipe your sdcard)
8) wait for reboot and get back into bootloader
9) open command line window, cd to folder where the team win recovery image file is, type fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-manta.img (filename can be different depending on the version you downloaded)
10) reboot into bootloader, select reboot recovery, open command line window, cd to where ota updates are, type adb push *filename* /sdcard for each ota update (replace *filename* by actual filename)
11) select install in team win recovery, install update from step 2) first, then update from step 3)
reboot.
you might lose all your data including your files stored on your tablet. this is probably the must reliable way to update because everything is set back to stock and then updated. so no customization whatsoever should interfere
heres the result:
