Nexus 10 4.4.3 out
- Thread starter nigelhealy
- Start date
does anyone know if it breaks root? if so, can we get root back in the same way?
I'm just flashing the entire factory images. I never use my Nexus 10 anymore because the Wifi is a disaster... Worse that can happen is it actually works right now.. Which is highly doubtful.

Still a broken POS... Installed, Play store restored all my stuff. Browsed around for a bit.. Sat it down... Went to the PC for 15 minutes.. Came back to Nexus 10.. First website I tried to open.. Yep.. No data throughput on two bars of wifi.. Same god damn crap that has plagued this stupid lemon of a tablet for ages.. Two bars of wifi strength and this stupid thing doesn't know what to do. Meanwhile my Nexus 4 performs flawlessly with 1 bar of wifi and never has data throughput issues since the day I bought it at launch.. Nexus 10 is such a massive flop...

I did a stock install at command line. There is a bug which isn't relevant it tries to flash a recovery img which isn't included but I checked and its the most current version anyway.
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader ./bootloader-manta-mantamf01.img
error: cannot load './bootloader-manta-mantamf01.img': No such file or directory
fastboot -w update image-mantaray-ktu84l.zip
archive does not contain 'boot.sig'
archive does not contain 'recovery.sig'
archive does not contain 'system.sig'
--------------------------------------------
Bootloader Version...: MANTAMF01
Baseband Version.....: no modem
Serial Number........: R32D104HJYB
--------------------------------------------So.... far.... nothing broke.....
i did this first to my Nexus 10 as it has the simplest needs if I bricked it. Will do Nexus 7 then Nexus 5.
Sell it. it's an issue with your router. I had the issue til I put on DD-WRT on my router and set a fixed channel, then it worked fine. Not saying don't blame N10, it should behave better, just if you all you are going to do is complain you're of nil value help.
I had the exact same issue with the horrible wifi. It has been working flawlessly ever since I got it until about a month ago. On a 70 mbps connection with the router 2 feet away, I couldn't even load the play store, let alone anything else. I tried all that "disable wifi optimization" stuff and other things and nothing worked. 2 weeks ago, I relocked my bootloader and reverted everything back to stock and it still didn't work. Just for fun, I unlocked the bootloader again, still running stock, and magically my wifi is back to ~60 mbps and everything works perfectly again. I have absolutely no idea how. Maybe you should try it because you already factory reset it, try locking and unlocking the bootloader and see what happens. Good luck

Sweet thanks so much!!!
FYI if you just run the flash-all script it erases everything, I actually prefer that to begin with a clean slate, but I know you can run a subset of comamnds to limit what is erases. So the method I did by definition breaks root, but getting it back is easy, just install custom recovery and copy the root zip and install in recovery.
So far... i'm configuring all my apps, nothing seems broke but it will take a while to know if any of my functions are broken....
Works
Root works.
Unlock, Flashed the Factory image, then CWM.img and then flashed SuperSU zip and everything is good.
I had a CWM backup so I'm up and running in no time.
BTW I have never ever had problems with WIFI, I have a netgear router, but it also works with trendnet and Linksys.
btw Total RAM is 1124832KB
First quadrant 2.0 is 5501 with stock kernel

I update thru OTA with superuser survival turned on. Confirmed it went perfectly fine on update with root still kept.

Fisrt problem... can't install busybox in /system/xbin due to lack of space in system partition...
I have TWRP installed on my Nexus 10. Can I simply boot into recovery and install the zip that's in the tarball? Or won't that work?
No , it wont work. the file from google is in fact two .tar files inside each other. you need to decompress the first one , the second one has no extension ! add .tar extension to it and decompress it again. I used winrar to do it. you will get the batch file and rom zip file which requires fastboot to be installed. if you search on google you will find many guides on how to install factory images on nexus devices.
Edit : Well , I guess the google file is .tar.gz file and not two tar files inside eachother. but for an unknown reason when you download it the extension is .tar , I renamed it to .tar.gz and then decompressed it and it worked fine.

I installed busybox with "BusyBox on Rails" app with no issues. it is working fine here.

where is bootloader img?
I extracted factory image file.
but i can not find bootloader img file.
I checked 'flash-all.sh' .
There is written like this 'fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-manta-mantamf01.img'
There have to be 'bootloader-manta-mantamf01.img'.
without updating new bootloader img, does it work well?

They forgot to include it in the factory image. But don't worry, it works well.
No TWRP flashable update.zip for 4.4.3 yet? Can't seem to find any on the threads, though folks are talking of OTA (I only see the factory image .tar).
I just now installed it. Zero problems.
Of course i did what I always recommend of doign a full fresh flash and erase everything. It is always the safest best way. It took me about 30mins to install my apps and configure them.
The URL of the OTA zip isn't out yet.

Wait or do what I always do and just do a full fresh install, it cleans out any crap.
Funny, the last 4.4.2 we had the OTA zips out before the full image zips, the reverse timing schedule. We had to do a flash then OTA for about a week i think then.
They forgot it but its also not necessary, the 4.4.2 had that same file flashed already.
Well, I finally installed the busybox applets using softlinks instead of copies. It may cause problems with some apps but it's the only way.
It's not a problem of fresh space but the system partition of the nexus 10 is really small compared to other nexus like 4 or 5.
