Hello,
I have a 2012 nexus seven, do android 4.3 will work on it using normal android system upgrade from settings? Because it says that there isn't any update available.
And can I root the device normally afterwards?
And my data will be saved?

Over the air updates often take time to roll out. Give it time and the update will come.
Of course, you can root and flash a custom ROM based on 4.3, but unless you already have an unlocked bootloader, you will lose your data.

I have rooted my n7 without unlocking my bootloader. I'm using stock ROM. So my data will be saved?

You'll lose root, but so long as you made no changes to the preinstalled /system portion of the ROM, the OTA should run without killing any of your data.

OK, so tomorrow morning/afternoon I'll see the update?

It can take a lot longer than that, several days or a few weeks sometimes.
I just installed the factory image on my Nexus 7, but this will delete all your data...

If he has Superuser he can download OTA Root Keeper off Google Play to keep root when he installs the OTA or if he uses SuperSU instead, the pro (paid) version has an option to protect root.

Got the 4.3 upgrade OTA this morning but had to use the old trick.... "Google Services Framework > Force stop > clear data" to make it show up.

Been doing that all day no luck here.

This is why it pays to have an unlocked bootloader.
You would be running 4.3, rooted, and no loss of data if you did.

Not at this stage, it seems.
"It means preserving root with OTA Root Keeper won't be possible anymore as new rooting techniques rely on more than just a setuid su binary in /system."

Yeah you are right. They updated their app to show it at the moment does not have 4.3 support. Rooting a Nexus device is easy enough, though, that I would not worry about it.
OTA link for Nakasi is posted over the OTA repository

Fastboot oem unlock is the first I do when I get home with a new nexus device lol. Of course this thing has seen less than an few hours of stock ROMs in the past year lol.

Just updated my nexus 7 via. OTA.

Finally got the update this evening! Had a notification to say it'd downloaded and was ready to install, but I was in the middle of fixing a Play Store issue which meant removing and reinstating my Google account...
Of course, this meant that the notification disappeared and I'm still stuck on 4.2.2 with the manual update via 'About tablet' not working.
If it's downloaded, can I assume that it's still somewhere on my device? If not, will I possibly have to wait days or weeks to receive the update again?!
I'm not rooted by the way.

4 Days have passed and still no upgrade
What do I do? And I have rooted using motochopper without unlocking boot loader, so my data will be saved?
Should I use this?: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...-to-android-4-3-jwr66v-and-root-it-right-now/

Hey guys I have an unlocked bootloader and rooted device on 4.2.2. Just received ota update notification. If I proceed with the update will it keep root? When I updated via ota the past few times it kept root but with 4.3 I am unsure as I don't want to brick my device

No, not unless you install one of the 4.3 zips floating around XDA via custom TWRP recovery.

Its been about a week that .259 firmware is certified, any ideas when its going to be released? Phone has.been restarting more frequently..
Certified does not automatically mean that it'll be released.

Is Active got already the kitkat update?

The official OTA update for KK was v released 4/16/14 but was very buggy (screen unusable, etc). Since 4/18/14, AT&T pulled the update, and have since said they are working with Samsung in fixing the update and will be releasing the update again soon. As with everything, don't ask for an ETA as no one can even guess when that will be... Hopefully soon though.

So I am on version 6.4 with ads removed and root enabled. I remember reading about 6.6 locking the bootloader and everyone not updating their device.
This is where I have been out of the loop. Has the latest update with band 12 been given the green light to update?
Sent from my R1 HD using Tapatalk
I am in the same situation. Everything is working fine on 6.4 debloated except no security updates. I don't want to risk upsetting that apple cart but if there was a way to get the security updates I would love to.

Did what you said and upgraded just fine. VoLTE seems to not work but it seems others are having the same problem as me.
The rom works fine. In about it shows android security update to Oct 5, 2016. It shows as version 6.0 though. Is it 7? I did the update to get security update. Not sure what other differences there are to 6.4. Anyone know?

The difference is just security updates and band 12. This phone will probably never see version 7.0 of Android.

So I did the ota update everything worked great then I rooted it using the Nexus toolkit and the sim either takes hours or it never gets found. I had to roll back to Android 6. Any ideas on what might cause it. Thanks.

Changes in the Nov security update. The newest SuperSU SR5 fixes that, see the Beta thread. Brain dead toolkits are often out of date. If you want to run the newest stuff, you should learn to do it yourself, and especially have nandoid backups. :good:
Thanks for the info. I'll look into the beta. Have to wait till the weekend to try again.
Edit: I also didn't have the latest version of the toolkit. It was always saying updating to latest version. Didn't realize that feature only worked for the paid version. Hopefully that will work for this time. Then I can start relearning all this stuff for when I finally get my pixel. Thanks again for your help man.
