There was a little trick in the past to get system update OTAs. Clear data from the google services framework then click the check now for updates. I remember having to do it multiple times. Does anyone know if that is working for JB?

JB is not a OTA update yet, so it wont work currently.

Any chance this will work now for the JRO03C update? :fingers-crossed:

Probably, as they're just gonna push the OTA like they normally do, but its not available yet... Pushing the code to AOSP and releasing the OTA are two different things.

Nevermind. Found it in Settings - Apps - All - Google Services Framework - Clear Data.
Didn't help however. Maybe I'll just repeat the procedure a few times and report if anything happens...

Settings->Apps-> All -> Google service framework... and ....check now write if it works...
Repeated the procedure 6 or 7 times now, also tried forcing the services framework to quit afterwards and restarted the device. Didn't help.

So I tried this earlier this morning since there's all the talk of Jelly bean coming out, it didn't work and now I've got problems with the Play store, whenever I try to update an app or install a new one I get this error:
"error while retrieving information from server. rpc:aec:0"
I've done some searching and cleared data / cache multiple times as suggested, but no luck. Does anyone have any idea's?
Thanks.

Strange, I did the same and now the error appears to me while updating or downloading apps... I think we just have to wait a bit an it's working again (hopefully).
After having restarted the device, I could successfully install a random app from the market.

Well that's strange, but I'm glad I'm not the only one
I also noticed when you tell an app to update on the Google Play website, it doesn't get sent through to the phone...
I feel the only fix for this may be to do a factory reset, or wait for the OTA which should fix it...

I did the same and got the same problem as you, then I tried adding a second account to play store (my wifes) and I could add apps using that one. So I then deleted all Google accounts, and re applied my account and its all back working again.
Still no Jelly Bean yet though, I am resisting the temptation to root at the moment and applying the update manually, trying to stay with a vanilla Google Nexus.

Though I might just root it :angel:

Yeah ultimately I deleted my google account from my phone and re-added it, I think that's what did the trick however I followed all the various techniques in this thread (http://forum. xda-developers. com/ showthread.php?t=1632890&page=4)
All good now, but still not Jelly Bean :-( I'm doing the same, I'd really like to keep it vanilla at the moment, it's painful though as I'm now waiting for Jelly Bean on the Galaxy Nexus and my Nexus 7 to be delivered!!!
this trick helps did the whole procedure repeatedly like 5 times or so, and Voila!! there it is 4.1 JB
Downloading now 144 mb
Does this method delete any important data on the phone? Just curious. Am flashed to stock yakju 4.0.4 with an unlocked bootloader. Debating if I should a) Flash b) wait till I get it - Canada (Bell Mobility) or c) Do this method but don't want to start from scratch.

This worked for me! I did a little happy dance when it happened!
As you'll see, this is my first post gents, I honestly have no idea where to ask this question so I'll try in here and hopefully someone will know the answer or direct me to an appropriate thread...
Now that I've got JB I really want my Nexus to just have the basic JB settings, so like it was fresh out the box but with all my apps, pics, contacts texts etc already on it. I am unrooted but was running go launcher and some go widgets which I've deleted but I really want to go one step further but at the same time short of a factory reset as that will lose everything!
That make sense??
I was trying this procedure since yesterday and did repetitions of 5 to 10 back to back and no luck totaling up to 50 times approximately. Just ended up unlocking the boot-loader and flashing it using CWM couldn't wait lol. Best thing was that because the device is from the Play Store when unlocking the boot-loader and didn't erase anything.

I haven't had this problem with PMTR3's, Jovy23's, or Rushing's ROMs. As long as you skip the credit card entry and wipe good, you shouldn't have those problems.

May I present some pure speculation?
After flashing the new ROM did you restore the Android ID? Now, I have no idea what this Android ID is, but when I use Titanium Backup to restore my apps after flashing a new ROM, it always warns me that my Android ID has changed and that it may affect the ability of the play store to know that this is the same phone as it was from before the flash. My speculation is that the play store has the billing tied to a specific Android ID.

The Sith, Jedi Mind Tricks, Jedi Knight, Darthstalker, Xtremeperia, Bulletproof, Beast made... All these ROMs have no problem with sending billing to T-Mobile in the Play Store.

So I've used AdAway since I bought my GNex, and it's always worked perfectly until now. Whenever I was on 4.1.x ROMs, AdAway would block all the ads on various apps on any network connection, whether WiFi, 3G, or Edge. Ever since upgrading to a 4.2.x ROM, it is only blocking when I'm connected to a WiFi network. On cellular data connections its like I don't even have AdAway installed. I've tried it on different 4.2.1 ROMs, and they all give the same results. I'm pretty sure that the reason its not working has to do with the Android version, but I can't find anybody else that has this problem, or at least can't find it posted anywhere. Does anybody have a solution or suggestion on how to try and fix it?
Thanks.
Solution: APN proxy causes ads to show up. Removed it and all is good!
It blocks for 3G/4G for me just fine. On 4.2.1 myself.
Try reinstalling the app? what is your ROM / Kernel set up?
Try installing SuperSU https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwyLDEsImV1LmNoYWluZmlyZS5zdXBlcnN1Il0.

I actually have reinstalled the app. Should've went into more detail in my first post. I've tried redownloading from the market as well as reinstalling from a titanium backup, without data. I've uninstalled and reinstalled about 5 different times now, each with a different combination of reboots in between. I'm currently running ParanoidAndroid 2.99 beta8 with stock kernel. But I've had the exact same issue with each of the below configurations:
Paranoid 2.99 beta 6, two different beta 7s, two beta 8s. I've had the stock kernel with each beta, and also tried Franco.kernel r342 (if memory serves) on beta 6, and each beta 7s. I have only used stock kernel on beta 8. I've also had the stock ROM rooted installed with stock kernel. Come to think of it, I've only used Paranoid or Stock 4.2.x ROMs. Could it have something to do with the Paranoid ROM? But what confuses me is why it blocks on WiFi just fine, but no other connections. Paranoid has SuperSU with it, but I think when I rooted the stock ROM it was just SuperUser, not SuperSU.
Thanks for your help!

I had no problems with AdAway when I used my GN with CM10.1 + Franco (gave the phone to a family member, i keep it updated every other day). You can try another ROM or try https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DMsImNvbS5iaWd0aW5jYW4uYW5kcm9pZC5hZGZyZWUiXQ.. I find adaway to be more superior though but if adaway doesnt work and adfree. just use that for the time being

Well I just installed JBSourcery ROM and downloaded AdAway from the Play Store. It still does the same thing, no ad-blocking on cellular data. It's really starting to drive me nuts! I use the Chive app for testing it, and that's where I notice the ads the most, but it isn't blocking in any app unless on WiFi.

Always! When I flash a different ROM I do a Factory Reset, then Wipe Cache and Dalvik, usually twice. If I'm going from one kind of ROM to another I usually wipe /system as well, but if I'm just upgrading within a family of ROMs I only wipe Cache and Dalvik. I'm at a complete loss as to what could be causing it. I think the next thing I'm gonna try is formatting /system, data (not /data/media), cache and Dalvik, then install a 4.2.1 ROM, GApps, then AdAway and theChive and see if it works. If it does then maybe an app I have is conflicting, though I don't see how.
Thanks again.

Yep that's exactly how you're supposed to do it. It's just awkward how there are so many problems. What baseband do you use? lol

Yeah I'm "somewhat" knowledgable about flashing and computers and things, so I try to do things the right way when I do them. That's part of why this bugs me so much.

Yeah, well, I probably had other things I should've been doing, but you know how that goes. lol.
I did a factory reset, wiped /system, cache, and dalvik before the ROM flash. Then I flashed JBSourcery v4, gapps, then wiped cache and dalvik again. When it first booted, I installed AdAway from Play Store, applied blocking, rebooted, installed theChive and speedtest.net from Play Store, and I STILL have the same problem. The only thing I have left to format is my sdcard I think, but I don't know if that would have any effect.
Would you mind telling me what your options are set to in AdAway or post a screenshot of the settings screen? Maybe I have a problem there somehow carrying over through ROMs. I appreciate all your help so far. This thing is really bugging me. Thanks again!

Mines are all pretty much default. Downloaded app and applied it. Didn't do anything special. Only thing checked in settings is to check for updates.
Have you tried Cyanogenmod? What kernel do you normally use as well?

I haven't tried Cyanogenmod yet. Maybe I'll try flashing that next. I usually use whatever stock kernel is installed with the ROM now. In the past I've used Franco.kernel and I've never used any kernel besides those two. The only thing I have left to check is something on my sdcard causing problems. With a factory reset, format /system, cache, and dalvik, there isn't anything that doesn't get wiped is there? I'm gonna try a different baseband too. I really don't think that'll fix it but stranger things have happened. Thanks again for your help!
Here is LT28i Stock Roger JB: Deodexed, Prerooted, Debloated and DeGoogled with Nakedbrowser integrated.
All Roger bloatware removed. All social apps, facebook, twitter etc. removed. All Google apps removed. Google Services Framework removed. Google one time initialization removed. Sony update removed.
This rom is deodexed by me, unlike the previous one that was just prerooted and therefore moved to general section. Rom is very light (only 355mgb in zip) and battery conscious. K9 mail and Textsecure can replace stock SMS and Conversations. Gibberbot can replace any messaging app. All three are open source and freely available on the internet (gpl license).
You must be rooted and have CWM recovery, as is always the case with CWM flashing.
Instructions:
1. Start recovery, mount system, cache and data. Format each (you can do instead data erase/factory reset, but that won't get rid of everything).
2. Flash the rom.
If you were on JB LT28h, you are all set, just reboot. If you were on ICS, DON'T REBOOT. Instead do the following:
3. Turn off your phone and flash Roger stock JB FTF with flashtool. Untick everything but kernel; exclude everything, but baseband. You need LT28i basebands, as it has been reported that ICS basebands produce crappy results on JB: problems with H/H+ and/or LTE. Also, if your LT28at is simunlocked, by flashing Roger basebands, you can restore T-Mobile's H and H+ (1700), which is blocked in AT&T firmware.
WARNING: If you were on ICS and you don't do the third step, you will end up in a boot loop.
After boot, you will have to reinstall Busybox and CWM, which were not incorporated in this rom. Remember, without busybox, you won't be able to install CWM.
To lovers of Google apps: you can install them on your own. They are freely available.
Download link:

DISCLAIMER: You may hard/soft brick your device. Do the above at your own risk. If you kill your device, file a complaint with the International Criminal Court.
Would you please tell me the benefit of using Rogers instead of Generic International firmware?
LT28i has a different hardware: radio and frequencies. It has lte, which LT28h doesn't.
LT28h has better H+ upload speed. This requires software changes. I had problems with lte conection when I installed LT28h rom (and used ICS LT28i radio): breaking down, loss of packets and improper switching. Those problems went away with Roger, which is the only officially released rom for LT28i.
Will try this rom out. Have no problem getting Google back on here so thanks. Well report back.
Can you add pic if u cant ill add it when i flash.

Thank you!
Actually like this Rom so far cause pretty much can put what I want on it. Simple fast very responsive.
This is a build Ur own Rom basically.

Here is the latest battery usage screen shot. Pretty good. I am starting to feel like I have my good old Nokia usage.
this is better for at&t ion? I have lt28h with ics baseband and it is crappy the signal is very bad.
Just flash Roger's baseband and you will see improvement.
I will try your rom, sounds real good.
Edit-
Had problems with google. Since it is degoogled. Can you add a version with google? Or a gapps zip or something like that? Thanks
You should have no problems installing Google apps. Just search xda forums or the internet. They are freely available. But if you install them, your phone will become laggy again and your battery will die in 10 - 12 hours.

Flashing wouldn't do. This rom does not have Google Services Framework. I would try direct install starting from Google store. Googleplay may install GSF, but keep in mind that GSF is primarily responsible for lagging and battery usage. Through this your phone is almost always connected to Google servers and transmits info about everything you do including keystrokes etc. Without mentioning privacy issues, this makes your processor work overtime and kills the battery.
Android is the best OS around, because it is based on Linux, but only so if you deGoogle it. Yes, you will lose Googleplay, but I am yet to find a single application that cannot be downloaded from other sources. Note, I am not talking about getting paid applications. I am talking about free apps that are available at Googlestore. They are all available elsewhere.

I agree with what you just said, and yes it is a great idea. But in my case, without google my contacts would not sync. I do not care about google play because I use aptoide or blackmart... It is better lol. what I used to do was to turn automatic sync off and sync manually.

I no longer have deleted apps, but I would look into Spetre's deodexed LT28h system/apps and look for googlesync adapter. I would then put it into your system/apps (with appropriate permissions) and see if that helps. You may also need to install google account (also in that rom), but I am not sure if it would work absent GSF.

Try this:
http://yadi.sk/d/sfsmY8IJ7vsNW
It contains 4 files: Google backup transport; Contacts sync adapter; Calendar sync adapter; and Google Login Service They are from Roger's rom.
I would start with contacts sync, if still doesn't work, add google backup and then google login. They have to be installed in system with usual permissions. That's all I can do. Good luck.

Thanks I will try it later.
Edit-I made a flashable cwm .zip from lt28h prerooted stock apps and framework. To flash into this rom.
Big improvement on T-Mobile service (sim Unlocked)

I had problems with other roms since I have a straight talk sim card which works with at&t towers I went back to stock lt28at firmware and I manage to deodex latest update myself and root it, debloated it with speedy droid and titanium backup. So far it works great for me.
This rom (Slim Rogers) seems to help tmobile users I guess.
Yea it does big improvement i have lte 24/7 now.

I got the notification that the kitkat update was downloaded but after reading there is no flash support I have absolutely no interest in installibg this update. I got a nexus 7 over an iPad solely because I could use flash which is the only game in town on many sites I visit regularly. I got rid of the notification by unchecking notifications in the framework app but I'm worried if my tablet reboots/powers off that I will forced to update before it starts up. Please tell me this is not the case? Also is there a way to delete the download period, even if it's not installed I'd rather it not eating up limited memory that I have.

It won't, Google replaced the fast and compatible WebKit engine with the slow as hell and flash incompatible chromium webview...

Dolphin use their own engine, if flash does not work on KitKat install dolphin jetpack and choose that as your rendering engine in dolphin settings

Not from what I've read, read on this site an official statement from dolphin saying flash wasn't supported on 4.4. Besides I find that dolphin's flash support is not always the best, i like having a few browsers because I find certain browsers handle certain sites flash better. My biggest concern is if I power the device off will I be forced to update since my nexus 7 has already downloaded but not installed the update. Im perfectly fine with 4.3 except the touch issues when the n7 is not plugged in or in my hands....grounding issue I believe?

Also if I did a factory reset would that force me to 4.4?

The one way that I know of how to stop an OTA update first requires that you be rooted. If so you can use an app called Autostarts. Open the app go to Menu click on "Group by application." Scroll down to "Google Services Framework" and click on that. At the top you will see 4 "After Startup" entries. Click on the third "After Startup" entry from the top. In the popup window you should see "SystemUpdateService$Receiver" in the description, that's the one you want to disable. To delete the update I'm not 100% positive but I'm thinking if you delete the cache from Google Services Framework that will delete the update. Or Settings/Storage and click on "Cached data." Honestly, those are guesses because it's been a longtime since I've had to do that! SD Maid Pro will delete the update also but that app also requires root. After flashing the 4.4 factory image when it first came out I went back to 4.3 until I find a replacement for the AOSP Browser, damn it google!
Edit: Decided three weeks ago to give Dolphin another try, installed on my N5 with a hacked version of the flash player and it's working great! Used the factory image to flash 4.4.2 on the N7 and installed Dolphin Browser which now has the Jetpack built-in and it works well! Dolphin Browser with hacked flash player.

I guess I misread the changelog
I'm still not clear as to whether I can power the device off safely without itnforcing me upgrade. I'd really hat to brick my n7 by losing flash support. Also where exactly is the update located so I could possible erase it?

It's the zip file in /cache. It will reappear though. Rename /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip. And then don't go into the updates screen again, it will trigger the download which is several hundred megabytes once more. You need to be rooted.

You need to have root access, but it's worked for me so far.

Indeed, just installed this and after a reboot, the prompt has gone away and it tells me the system is up to date. Thanks. And another demonstration that people don't come here simply to get hold of custom roms!
Thanks for all the answers but nobody has yet to give a straight forward answer as to whether I will be forced to update if I reboot my n7. Sometimes I'm forced to reboot when I have a hang up and I'd hate to think when that day comes I'm going to be forced to update to kitkat. I'm also not rooted and would like to stay that way. I know to many of you it seems quite easy but everything I've read makes it seem very daunting and confusing. Kernels, bootloaders, Roms, flashing....its a lot more than I thought it would be when I went android.

I have rebooted many times while the update notification was present and never had the upgrade automatically applied.
I haven't rebooted into recovery though so I cannot say if what I said holds if you do that.
For me, I'd just add an empty line to /system/build.prop
It is an empty line so it is assured not to change any behavior and every OTA update will try and patch build.prop at which point it does a SHA1 checksum compare, finds your current build.prop has been modified, and stops the OTA before it even starts modifying a single file.
This assures you that if by accident you select the OTA to install, it won't actually do anything.
You can do similar things with other files, I just chose build.prop as an easy example.

If you take your time and read instructions carefully its very easy to root a Nexus 7. Either way, why don't you just reboot it and see if it goes to 4.4 and then do a factory reset. That should bring you back to your out of box jelly bean. Of course you'd lose your data but you can back that all up.

I deleted the update from /cache and got rid of the notification but if I go to system,about device,updates it still tells me the update is "downloaded and verified". How can I make it realize the update is no longer there?

Hello, I did that ^^^^^^^^^^ using autostarts and checked it several times to be sure I had it correct.
All seemed good, except today an update from VZW went through on me and I didn't want it to. I looked in the cache dir and nothing was in there, yet the phone kept saying it wanted to install the update. I kept telling it not right now, but after awhile it had a mind of it's own and installed/updated anyhow. My VZW GS4 went from MJ7 to MK2 not even sure what changes it made, I'm still on JB 4.3 and I don't want KitKat 4.4
I don't understand how the update came through and where it was d/l to, I checked yet again and the "SystemUpdateService$Receiver" is disabled, exactly as shown in your pics. The broke my Root, but I still showed custom when it re-booted, so it wasn't too hard to establish Root again. Now I'm very worried that sooner or later they are going to push/force KitKat 4.4 to the S4 and I don't want it; I should have a choice to not accept it, it's my device that I paid for
Any ideas on this before KK 4.4 bites me?
Thanks
