How to get the 4.2 OTA update NOW!! Your welcome! ;)

[nwr2339]

So I have two Nexus 7's. One is a 16gb and the other is a 32gb. I did the update on my 32gb last night with no problem what soever and I love it. The 16gb however is not working. It showed that an update is needed. It downloaded and went to restart/intall and I got a android dude laying down with a red triangle sticking out of his belly. I used the method mentioned in this thread after the device restarted and I got the same thing a second time. Could it be because I have both devices synced with the same account?

It might have been because you needed to install more updates.

Thanks, it worked! Also, after I cleared the data, I got this funny message.

Yeah, that's standard with doing this process.

After 7-8 tries this worked and I am now in the process of updating to 4.2.

Thanks very much. You have made my 7 year old son very happy. He has been waiting to update his Nexus 7 since last week. Thanks again.

I followed the steps, except after I cleared the data, I rebooted and then checked for an update and there it was! it didn't work for me the 1st time with the steps outlined above so I decided to clear the data then reboot and then check for the update.

It's sad that people have to do a workaround just to get the OTA update.

The same thing happened to me on my Galaxy Nexus phone. It was 100% stock, except I had it rooted. It turned out I had to set it back to its out-of-box condition, including not rooted. Then the 4.2 update went right through. It seems the android laying down with the red triangle indicates an aborted installation.

I'm curious; did anyone else successfully install the 4.2 update OTA while rooted? When mine updated from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 it was rooted. It seems that update was more minor though.

Nexus running 4.2, Nexus 4 16GB successfully ordered yesterday, life is good!

Not really. It's been said somewhere else that Google does a slow rollout of OTA's, to make sure there aren't any major issues.

* I knew of this method already, but was trying to be patient and wait for, [OTA]; wow, I couldn't even wait a full day or two, (lol).

I believe it's just the date it always shows after clearing the Framework Data. Not sure the reason why.
