Assuming you are at 4.4.4 (because reboots were supposed to be fixed in 4.4.3), the only real advice I can give, is to backup whatever you care about (you can use Helium from Koushik, does not need root), and do a factory reset, reinstall the OS from factory images, if it still happens and it's under warranty, send it back.
I am still 4.3

If you mean can you use another ROM for a different device, no. There is maybe one exception , people have reported that they have flashed flo ROM onto deb (minus a working radio), and assuming this works, it is a anomaly, and I still would not recommend someone do it, even if it does work.
If you mean a new version meant for your device, then yes, of course you can.
ok

I still don't understand, I think we're having a language barrier issue or something, you specified which build you're going to use (4.4.4 KK for flo) then you say you're going to use a different build, which is it?
If you have a N7 2013 wifi device, then flashing 4.4.4 for N7 2013 wifi ROM is OK, and will not cause issues.

Hey, I am wondering if my phone data will be deleted if I update my phone from 4.0.2 to 4.0.3 using the Galaxy Nexus ToolKit? I have the GSM version.
I thougt The Galaxy Nexus ToolKit could only install factory image and as far as i know there isn't a factory image for android 4.0.3... If you really have one, please let me know where you got it.
and about your question... It probably will wipe your phone.. Make a backup up front with the same Galaxy Nexus ToolKit
reply
Yeah I know the 4.0.3 isn't out yet, sorry for being unclear.
Is there anyway to restore contacs, messages, saved passwords etc. when the phone has been wiped?

Do any of you know if there will be any 4.0.3 GSM release from Google soon? And can I update my phone directly from the phone over Wi-Fi if my phone is unlocked?

Unsure when it's coming out as 4.0.3 is halted for the Nexus S due to bugs / battery life.
If you want 4.0.3 then download a custom ROM. I personally don't have any problems with it.
Using AOKP Build 19 + Franco Kernel 19. Amazing battery life, performance.
And updates every 2-4 days with great maintenance from both developers.
Okey, thank you, will probably try it

you'd have to find the latest build on Rootzwiki as the latest on XDA is milestone 2. Google it as I don't want to provide the link here.

May I ask something as well?
For a nexus, flashing a custom kernel requires root or unlock bootloader?
What is the use of unlock bootloader on a nexus device?
I came from a sony phone and that require unlocking bootloader to install custom kernel..not so sure about nexus.

Well you need to unlock your bootloader in order to root. I think you do need to unlock. But unlocking the bootloader is super easy so I don't see a reason not to.

BE CAREFUL of updates. Newer updates change the touchscreen driver!
If the touchscreen is working perfectly out of the box, DON'T UPDATE OTA.
If it works out of the box, I would recommend not updating and/or just flashing an updated custom rom without the touchscreen updates.

Hello xda developers!
So I had a quick question that I am really hoping that someone here can help me out with...
I have my N7 2013 32GB WiFi only model FLO tablet running Android 4.4 rooted (of course) with Multirom installed.
Okay so when I rooted my N7 I flashed the kexec kernel patch so I could install Ubuntu Touch...not knowing that Ubuntu Touch is only available for the N7 2012 tablet. So a few days after installing the kexec-patch an upgrade was available for Nexus 7. I tried installing the 4.4.2 upgrade but I knew that it was not going to work....
What I am wondering is, is there a way I can download the official ROM for the Nexus 7 (I want the official) and flash it with TWRP and Multirom? Will Multirom allow you to flash to the "internal" ROM?
If I can flash an offical nexus 7 flo rom I can then just root it again with the Nexus Root Toolkit.
I have done a lot of work with other ROMs on my Nexus 7 tablet that I have installed with MultiRom and I really don't want to have to erase everything just to put the official 4.4.2 upgrade on my N7. Yet...I really want the upgrade because I have heard they fixed a lot of issues with the camera.
Has anyone uploaded an apk for the official Nexus 7 4.4.2 camera app? If I can't flash an "official" nexus 7 flo ROM could I just install the camera apk from the Nexus 7 4.4.2 update?
I am really hoping someone can point me in the right direction here...
On a personal note I just want to say how much I enjoy this place and I am so thankful for xda and all the amazing work contributed by the developers and testers. Thank you all so much!
You all are the reason I will never buy an iPad or iPhone!
I thank you all for your time and your assistance.

You can download factory images here. https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#razor
The included flash-all.bat will also restore the stock recovery, but you can always flash TWRP afterward. Someone else will have to chime in about MultiROM, which I've never used.
Pandae thanks so much for the reply...
I will check the link out further when I get home.
I am really looking for something like an official OTA zip that I can flash where I can keep my other installed ROMs with twrp and Multirom.
If anyone has done anything like that please let me know...
Thanks again,

stock kernel for 4.4?
I am thinking now that maybe if i can get a hold of the stock kernel for the Nexus 7 on Android 4.4 i could re-flash the stock kernel to remove the kexec-patch and then i could apply the official OTA update to 4.4.2
Does anyone think this would work?
Does anyone happen to know where I might be able to get the stock kernel for the Nexus 7 FLO for Android 4.4?
Thank you all so much for your time...

I haven't seen a flashable zip for the stock 4.4 kernel. If you have adb setup you can extract the boot image from inside the factory image and fastboot flash that. Did you make a backup (nandroid) after you rooted? Of course you did! Just restore "Boot" from your backup made with TWRP. To get the OTA to work your "system" will also need to be stock and you need to have stock recovery. If you don't have stock recovery and you have TWRP for instance you can flash the OTA zip with TWRP. At the very least your system and kernel will have to be stock to get an OTA to work. Edit: I just saw this ROM Stock Rooted 4.4.2 - KOT49H and it looks like you have to flash the bootloader seperatley. Flash the ROM and bootloader with TWRP.

Hello, There is a way to download the stock ROM. I will leave a link and a tutorial on how to install it below. If you just want to flash it with TWRP then copy the .zip to your flash drive or whatever. I prefer to use fastboot because then I can flash only certain parts of the update and preserve my root. Hope this helps.

Hey DroidShadow,
If none of these worked for you, i have newer and better ROMs that ive come across over the past three months. Let me know if u want a list of them.
In the changelog for 4.4 RC 1, we are told that we need to flash a new bootloader and radio. This has not been part of my normal process. Why do we need to do this? Also, I wasn't able to find any threads on suggested bootloaders and radios for PA. Please point me in the right direction if this is something I really need to do. (using a Nexus 5)

Dose of awesome sauce on this week from PA Headquarters, again. As you may know we merged 4.4.3 into our source. You will need to flash new bootloader, radio, Gapps and update to latest recovery before going forward. Many bugs have been also resolved on our bug tracker thanks to community’s reports, less to go.

I ended up unzipping the stock package and selectively flashing the stock Bootloader and Radio.
I'm not sure why I needed to do this, but I did it and I'm using 4.4 RC 1 now.

It was mentioned to do so but should have specified that it was only for those old 3.99 holdouts that weren't ready to switch. Mainly only applied to mako users.

You don't need to update anything then. If your device didn't come with any new boot loaders or radios then there is obviously nothing to update.

Hello, run RESTOCK to restore everything original.
Sometimes the stock ROM will not boot if previous custom ROM like LOS had altered 'persist' partition and you'd need to install "k23m-persist-fix2.zip" available on Restock's page.
