Install the OTA again. See what the error is.
If you rooted with SuperSU prior to v1.55 and didn't apply the fix, then that is probably your problem.
Thanks
what is the fix you refering?
It is explained here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44597339#post44597339
However, as I mentioned, the fix is incorporated into SuperSU v1.55
thanks
when I root, I used SuperSU 1.51, but later it get update from google play, now is 1.65.
my recovery is twrp 2.6.0.0.
Do I still have the issue mentioned in that thread?
I get it works.
Thank you for the help.

Okay be gentle...
After the last update to JSSR15R I lost root and SU, doing the rebbot into recovery (vol down + power button) TWRP launches but when I select to go to recovery via the vol buttons and select it with the power button, all I get is the exclamation point android.
While I'm not a total idiot (debatable of course), is there a way to re-establish root and su without wiping off 15gigs of music and playlists and starting from scratch? Rooting the Nexus 7 (flo) the first time (at least for me) was a fight I eventually won, but for me it was a fight. tia Tutor
Same thing happened to me. I installed TWRP via goomanager. Then, I flashed SU update. Now I'm back rooted and going strong.
Like previous poster mentioned, just reinstall twrp and su.
Your bootloader should already be unlocked. Unlocking the bootloader is the only step that causes you to lose data.
Reinstalling twrp and su will not cause you to lose data, unless you had locked after installing them last time, and now need to unlock again to reinstall.
I reinstalled TWRP via the playstore but while it shows my directory file structure it won't install my copy of Update SuperSU 1.5.1.zip also I went to install goomanager but the descrription says you have to have root prior to installing.
As a sidenote while in TWRP if I go into rebooting the device none of the actions work except when I hit the "Bootloader" option the a error box pops up stating the option isn't available on your device. Tutor
Only way I know of to install TWRP is go to the TWRP web site and download it from there to your PC. You will find flash instructions on the web site.

Download Goo manager from Playstore. Choose Flash Roms, It will tell you that you need a custom recovery to do this and ask if you have one or would like Goo to find one. Choose find one for me and it will download and install TWRP 2.6.3.0. After said process is complete flash SU update. Profit..
Same happened to me, but I reflashed TWRP and root access... Just curious how come that never happened with Clockwork Mod recovery being lost after applying an update to the system on the old N7.
If you don't want to lose root or recovery, it is very simple.
Boot to twrp
Install OTA update.zip
Install SuperSU 1.55 update.zip (Prior to reboot, use 1.55 as 1.65 has issues)
You will maintain root and keep twrp if you do it in this exact order.

Nope, download the ota manually and place on your virtual sdcard, then boot to twrp and select the file for install
installing through goomanager didn't work for me. It would say it installed but wouldn't really install. I did it using the fastboot method instead and that seemed to work fine.
Well nothing I seemed to do would allow me to re-root the Nexus 7 after the 15R update, I finally went as re-rooted from scratch using the sticky post at the beginning of this subdivision forum for the Nexus. Back up and running in root and su... thx to all those that attempted to help me thru this

I used Wugfresh tool. Everything worked until I flashed the updated SU 1.65. I could never get root. I read earlier that others were using SU 1.5, so I manually went back into TWRP and flashed SU 1.5 and bam, had root! Then SU upgraded itself via the play store to the newer version. Go figure!

The update.zip for SU 1.65 is broken. A "placeholder" install script was included that does nothing.
IMO SuperSU 1.55 is the best version to use right now. The install script works, it doesn't mess with a bunch of file permissions for your *other* files in /system to support the new ota survival mode, and it has the fix for the problem that used to break the OTA installs.
Hey guys, I updated to 4.4.2 but I cant seem to get root back or recovery to stick. I had no problems with my N5.
Maybe its my procedure?
Updated to 4.4.2 using the latest CWM Touch
Flashed CWM Touch using Fastboot
Install the latest SuperSU zip in CWM Touch.
Restart and no Su binary is found.
When I try to restart into Recovery, I get the android with a red explanation point.
*Edit* I've tried regular CWM as well as TWRP but same issue
Any suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks

And I got it working, ran CF-Autoroot and I'm back up and running

Not sure why it wont work manually installing but that'll do for now.
I can't even get my Nexus to boot into custom recovery after updating. Not looking forward to wiping my device all over again just to root it
I have seen it before where the device gets rooted but you have to manually download super su from the Google play store. Try grabbing super such to make sure that you are in fact rooted or get a root checker...
CF-auto-root is the way to go...

What does the error say? Unexpected contents somewhere in the system? Basically, being rooted has nothing to do with whether the OTA fails or not. It usually is due to the system being modified (having Xposed Installed, system apps deleted, etc.). When it's trying to update, it will tell you why it failed.

when it rebooted, it just took me to TWRP recovery mode screen and i just rebooted and nothing came up. Just 4.4.3 still.
I did delete system apps such as google plus and stuff like those and have Xposed installed.
Do i have to use factory images and flash it that way?

Well, even if you were stock/rooted with TWRP recovery, it would fail if you try to update the normal way within Android because it is expecting to boot into stock recovery. Since you have a custom recovery, it doesn't do anything more than boot into recovery. You could flash the OTA zip using TWRP, but it would fail as you have deleted system apps and have Xposed installed. Xposed isn't that big of a deal, as you can just uninstall it from with the Xposed Framework installer, then update, then re-install Xposed without losing any settings. Since you deleted system apps, you could reinstall them individually. HOWEVER, it looks like the easiest thing to do is to flash the factory image like you did going from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 (I assume you didn't flash userdata). Another thing to do would be to just flash the system image from the 4.4.3 factory image, then flash the OTA zip in TWRP. It's really just a matter of your preference. But any of those ways would work.
I have the WiFi version of the Nexus 7 (2013). It is on KTU84P (Android 4.4.4). Bootloader is unlocked, TWRP 2.7.1.1 is installed for recovery and it is rooted.
I downloaded the OTA zip and have tried to install it in 2 different ways:
In TWRP, going to Advanced->ADB Sideload. Then from the connected PC, running "adb sideload <downloaded zip file>"
From TWRP on the device, going to Install, and selecting the downloaded zip.
In both cases, I get the same error:
Package expects build fingerprint of google/razor/flo:4.4.4/KTU84P/1227136:user/release-keys or google/razor/flo:5.0/LRX21P/1570855:user/release-keys; this device has google/razor/flo:4.3/JSS15Q/779366:user/release-keys.

You can't flash the OTA in TWRP, at least I don't think so, but I do know that 5.0 requires the latest version of TWRP, think it's 2.8.1.0
Sent from my 2013 Nexus 7
"Until death, I will remain a Dirty Unicorn.."
Tried updating to TWRP 2.8.1.0, I couldn't even get adb to recognize the tablet when in sideload. Just gave me device not found.
But, based on your other comment, I grabbed Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit and reflashed the stock recovery. Sideload is now in progress, I think I'm good to go (I probably just jinxed it!)
Thanks a lot for the help. I had thought it would just replace the recovery - I didn't realize that actually prevented it from running.

The error message is simply saying that the file you are trying to flash is to update from 4.4.4 to 5.0. But your device is at 4.3, and so, you cannot flash this file.
You will need to first upgrade to 4.4.4 and then flash from 4.4.4 to 5.0

No, it was at 4.4.4. For some reason it just didn't like TWRP. When I went back to stock recovery, it sideloaded just fine. I'm up and running now on 5.0.

Hello!
Really want to flash the OTA without a total wipe.
First flashed it from TWRP 2.8.1.0 and got the wrong build finger print says I have Flo:4.3/JSS15Q/779366 and it expects KTU84P/1227136
Then using WugFresh 1.9.4 flashed stock recovery so I could sideload then encountered the whole adb disappearing in recovery - eventually solved that and finally managed to adb sideload saw my screen saying it was installing the update using the stock recovery - YAY! It was short lived as the stock recovery screen told me the exact same thing that TWRP had told me.
I looked at my build.prop and it says my ro.build.fingerprint=google/razor/flo:4.4.4/KTU84P/1227136. user/release-keys
Can someone enlighten me? I've wasted so much time on this I would love some keen insight - PLEASE!!
Thanks for any and all help!

Hey guys!
I have the exact same problem as OP.

I reverted back to stock recovery and tried to install the OTA update and I got a similar error (image attached).
I'm stuck, could someone help?

open the zip file,
edit META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
just comment the following three lines:

# getprop("ro.build.fingerprint") == "google/razor/flo:5.0/LRX21P/1570855:user/release-keys" ||

then the update will go through.
you will take this workaround at your own risk.
make sure the version is 4.4.4/KTU84P already.

As suggested, I tried that. Commented out the lines. Now when trying to flash it just says "Installing Update" then "Installation Aborted" gives no further details. Thanks for the suggestion though.
I had same problems on n4.
I tried flashing stock recovery. Doesn't work. So, I flashed the whole stock 4.4.4 rom, and then apply the Ota. And it worked.
But I had to wipe my user data. (maybe not necessary)

I finally waved the white flag and used WugFresh's toolkit 1.9.8. Cool thing though. I was planning on using it to restore to stock 4.4.4. When chose the option to Flash Stock it actually downloaded and flashed the lollipop factory image instead of the latest kitkat. Did wipe data as expected with a factory image but still saved a step. Even though the bootloader was updated, it remained unlocked so I was able to immediately root. I am normally not a fan of toolkits and am more inclined to do things myself (with lots of help from forums of course) for educational purposes but I spent 2 days working on it the other way and got it done this way in under an hour.
comment means add a hash "#" in front of the script line.
if further check fails, just find the line and comment out the app_check line.

That wasn't my experience. I took the 6.0.1 update and it failed. So I ran
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
using the system and boot images from the 6.0 update. And then I waited for the OTA again. It installed ok.
Using TWRP I installed SuperSU 2.60 for a systemless root of the boot image. Everything is fine.
i can't even get pass installing twrp. every time i flash twrp in fastboot mode it works but it wipes my entire device. booting into twrp shows "NO OS INSTALLED' and even the sd card storage is wiped. the only way to get it to boot is to flash back 6.0.1 full stock rom. any help???

WugFresh did not work for me, after booting into TWRP and looking for the SuperSU and BusyBox they don not show up. Below is a post I have over on WugFresh Forum.
I’m having the same problem as everyone else. I’m using 6.0.1 MMB29K. It goes through the motions but when TWRP launches the /sdcard directory is empty. However, when I reboot and look at the files using an app called File Manager, I see them in /storage/emulated/0/!ReadyToFlash/Root_Files/. However, if I use a app called Root Browser I see a directory called sdcard and in there is !ReadyToFlash/Root_Files/ so they are being copied to the tablet but when you go into TWRP to install them they can’t be found. I tried to use the app Root Browser and make a directory called kiledl, this failed, probably because I do not have root access. Kind of a catch 22 here. I was just going to copy the files in sdcard to my directory and then try again. NO go!!! Anyone else have any ideas? I seems like this is some sort of permissions issue with the files but only from TWRP. I sure hope someone comes up with an answer, WugFresh and ideas?

Download latest SuperSU 2.62-3.
Root via Nexus root toolkit.
Then copy SuperSu to nexus and flash, supersu not from NRT but downloaded latest 2.62-3, busybox and last rar.
Sorry for my English.
Found a solution, the version of TWRP that WugFresh NRT is using is not compatible with this version of the N7 seems as though these were made with a different MMC memory. Check you this link and download this modified version of TWRP. You can use the NRT Advance Utilities > fastboot flash > recovery > other and then point to this modified version of TWRP and install it. Then you can proceed with the install of SuperSU and BusyBox. They will show up in the !ReadyToFlash/Root_Files/ folder to install.

noooo. That's not true. I just used NRT yesterday to upgrade to rooted 6.01.
EDIT: I think I misundersstood your post. This is only a problem if you try to install TWRP when upgrading right? If you just want to upgrade to 6.01 and keep stock recovery there is no issue.

Yes it is true, it depends on what kind of eMMC chip is in it. I have a very new device and NRT would not root it. When it booted in TWRP it could not see the !ReadyToFlash/Root_Files/ folder to install the files. There was no files on SDCard at all unless you booted to Android to verify they were in fact there. I had to install the modified Recovery TWRP file first. Saying "noooo. That's not true." is a little harsh, kinda make me a liar, I think NOT. Just because the method worked for you does not mean it worked for me. Not all devices are the same. If you read other post here you will see lots of others are having the same problem.

Correct only when using TWRP. However, I was using WugFresh NRT and it does a temporary install of TWRP then you install the SuperSU and BusyBox files. However, with the wrong version of TWRP you would not see the files in the SDCard folder, it would be empty. However, booting back to Android and using File Explorer the files where there. Using the modified version of TWRP would correct this.
interesting. i was wondering why some persons say it work and when i tried it, it wouldn't show anything in twp. can you point me to the link of the modified/correct version of twrp to use or help me by saying what to search. i don't want to sound lazy bu asking you for the link but i'm not sure as to what to google exactly to find the correct twrp to use. obviously i've been google wrong the pass few days because that hasn't come up for me in any of my past searches
Update: i found it and it works. thanks guys. now i can flash some custom roms. gonna try cm 13 tonight. thanks again

I had to install the modified Recovery TWRP file first. Saying "noooo. That's not true." is a little harsh, kinda make me a liar, I think NOT. Just because the method worked for you does not mean it worked for me. Not all devices are the same. If you read other post here you will see lots of others are having the same problem.
