I have rooted nexus 7 2013 GSM with Android 5.0.2... Received OTA upgrade for 5.1. Received error (without any specific info) during installation and had to reboot to cancel the upgrade. It is working fine now under 5.0.2, but still have notifications of a new version. Any ideas?

You or a root app you use modified one or more files on the system partition in some way. Your best bet is to just flash the factory images and re-root.

Please forgive the question as I don't play frequently in this sandbox and I haven't seen it asked or answered in the last 10-15 pages. I am updating the kid's 2012 WiFi version which is rooted with twrp. I know that I can't take the standard OTA and run it normal but is there a way to update without losing the data? Not worried about re-rooting as I am fine to do that but just want to insure I don't lose all the games and junk on her tablet.
