Nexus7 (2013) 4.4.2 Update

[davechampion]

Good Morning

I have downloaded the 4.4.2 update for my Nexus 7 2013 as the 4.4 version for me has been very unstable (crashing and restarting very often)

I have rooted my device and run TWRP.

I have tried to flash the 53mb file from the device and using Nexus root toolkit 1.79 and it comes up as failed during the process so not sure why this is happening.

Has anyone else had this issue or does anybody have any ideas about what to do, I have looked at the zip contents with 7Zip and it seems to contain all the stuff that I need.

Am hoping that the update will help sort out the issues I have been having with 4.4

I have also tried ADB Sideload and that also failed

I received the message

"/system/lib/hw/power.msm8960.so" has unexpected contents.
E:Error in tmp/update.zip
(Status 7)
Instalation Aborted

Got 4.4.2 yesterday and no issues at all. As a matter of fact it doesn't seem like anything has changed really.

Found at least two broken apps - MX Player Pro & App Ops. (May have broken with 4.4.1).

They'll get updates and be fine. Such is the way of things.

Pop3 has halfway been fixed. Still buggy. MX Player not working.

OTA seems to have been pulled already as I got my update from 4.4.1 to 4.4.2 last night and a colleague still on 4.4 cannot get it anymore today. Or does 4.4.2 imply 4.4.1?

Mine is updating now.

Just finished updating mine to 4.4.2.

Yes, I got it on my 32GB Wifi-only this morning.

Just received this update. No obvious change, looks liker a minor bug fix.

4.4.2 feels more touch accurate now. 4.4, for me, was making a lot of touch errors and I would also have to keep pressing the screen multiple times to get it to register. There's an obvious improvement for me with 4.4.2, plus scrolling feels smoother.

Also, a quick check with the modified flash apk shows that Flash still works fine with the Dolphin Browser app.

Do I have to do something to get the update? I am on 4.4 and waiting.

I did the google framework trick deleting the app data and force stopping the app. Took me 4 attempts, but then the update popped up and that's basically how I've received all my upgrades instead of waiting for the auto update.

I just checked for update and it was there. I'm using the wifi only version also.

 

[brosko]

I havent even got 4.4.1 yet on my n7 wifi. Whats up with that?

Got it in CT last night on my nexus 7 2013 32gb wifi. Seems that scrolling is a bit smoother. Had some momentary screen freezes before this and they seem to be gone as well. Performance seems a bit snappier in overall.

Sounds for when typing keys on the keyboard have changed.

I had a similar issue updating my HTC 1 to 4.3. It was rooted and running TWRP (I was still running the stock ROM). After trying every work-around I could think of, I ended up having to unroot/relock and install an early stock version of the carrier ROM. After that, everything updated and things have been fine since. In the past, I had no trouble getting updates on rooted devices. I'm wondering if the powers that be have done something with the code so that it causes issues on rooted devices...
