At this moment I have a custom Rom and kernel on my nexus 7. Kitkat will be out soon, what is the best way to get ota for Kitkat? Flash back to original software? Where can I download that?

Do you have a nandroid backup? This is very important!

Yes, I have a 9-29 backup in my TWRP folder

Simple, wait until it's actually announced and ready to download for your device. When 4.4 is announced, it may or may not be ready that very same day, so sit tight. You'll see enough news about it to know when it's ready.
I'll get an ota message even if I'm on a custom rom? And I can install that without any problems?

No, when it's release and ready to download just go back to the stock rom, then there you'll get the OTA.
I personally will wait to download the img, restore the Nexus to 4.4 and just to try Kit Kat, then I'll just flash back to AICP, I'll wait then for 4.4 to get incorporated into custom ROMs.
I'm on stock ROM and stock recovery, but rooted + custom Kernel, does anyone know if I can receive the OTA?

No. You need stock recovery AND stock kernel.

Where should I get the stock kernel? I did not make a nandroid backup as I did not flash the recovery, I only used fastboot boot recovery.img
If I flash the stock google images, does it wipe the virtual sd content? or only my data? Thanks a lot for helping me out!

You can get it from the stock images, just extract the boot.img and flash that via bootloader using fastboot. Same goes for stock recovery.

What's with root and requiring a kernel be flashed to get it? I hear that a stock kernel is coming with root. For those of us on stock, will this be like rooting the way we are all used to, where we just flash CWM, su, busybox, etc? Or will we still have to flash the stock kernel over our stock kernel?

flash CWM
flash a root.zip or rooted kernel
flash stock kernel (w/ stock recovery)
rejoice in root with stock kernel

That isn't the way it is supposed to be, though. Shouldn't we just be able to root the stock kernel /rom?

If you can find an exploit be my guest. Me? I prefer walking right in the front door if possible.
EDIT: Also, there is no way it is "supposed to be"...the only thing it is "supposed to be" is not-rooted out of the box.

Go ahead and get it done then.
When I try to update when it reboots and tries to install it but then it gives me an android with an exclamation mark. What should I do? I'm on stock rooted with a custom recovery, I think its something to do with the recovery right?

You can't accept and auto-install an OTA with a custom recovery image. You have to either have stock recovery and let it install, or use CWM to flash it manually.
What's the easiest thing to do? How would I be able to do it?

Your choice. Either flash back to the stock recovery and accept the OTA, or get a download of the OTA and flash it thru CWM.

Are they posted here in the forums? It would be nice if you could provide either one for me but if the files are in the forums I'll look for them

I'd say its easier to flash manually thru Cwm.
Ok so I flashed the radios is there anything else I need to flash now?

I have 4.0.4 stock rom with CWM and unlocked Bootloader. Now, when I update to 4.1 with OTA i get error (i think it's because of CWM)
My question is : is there some stock rom from google that is same like from OTA but that can be install from CWM recovery?
And link if it's now problem. I would like stock rom
Tnx
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Yes, it is failing to install because you have CWM flashed. If you want to accept the OTA, you have to flash the stock recovery for 4.0.4 back.
You can follow any basic Fastboot guide for flashing and just follow the line to flash the recovery. Here you go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
If you would prefer to keep CWM and just flash the update, there are update.zip files available, the file will differ whether you're on yakju or takju.
I have update to 4.1.1 - amazing! Tnx for help

No problem. Glad it worked.
Hi guys,
How do I revert to stock kernel? I'm using Trinity for now.. where can I download the stock kernel to flash?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
You can download the factory image for whatever version of Android you're using, extract boot.img from it, and flash it with "fastboot flash boot boot.img". Or if you're using a custom ROM, use the boot.img from that.
Is there any .zip that I can use to flash straight from Clockwork?
Search in the gsm dev section for bigxie's ota jb rom. IIRC look in the 2nd post

I am wondering the same thing
Got it. Thanks!
Help me please. I am on a stock rooted kitkat rom. I tried to update my TWRP recovery to 2.7. Now I cant boot into recovery at all. The only way I can boot my phone up is by going into download mode and then cancelling it. I have tried CWM thru Rom Manager. I have tried different versions of TWRP, and Philz thru flashify. everything says it flashes correctly but I cant get to recovery. I am on a Tmobile Note 3 with 4.3 bootloader and a stock, deodexed rooted rom.
Try to flash the recovery with odin

Twrp 2.7 is meant for the 4.4 bootloader. This could be why you can't get in.
Use twrp 2.6 series in order to use with 4.3
Edit: I just re-read your post. You are using the 4.3 bootloader and running a dehisces 4.4 ROM? The above still stands, just want to know.

Nice. And glad you figured out that "dehicsces" was meant to say deodexed. Damn auto correct.
