[Q] Android 5.0.1 OTA not working - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Hi everyone!
I have a problem with the OTA update of 5.0.1. I looked at some other threads that also talked about update problems, but those were different errors.
My Nexus 7 2013 (Wifi) is currently running 5.0, unrooted but unlocked.
The error is telling me:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installing update...
Verifying current sytem
Not enough free space on /system to apply patches.
E: Error in @/cache/recovery/block.map
(Status 7)
I tried sideloading the update with Nexus Root Toolkit, but that had the same error.
Does anyone know what to do? I still have 5GB of free space left, but maybe not in system, I don't know.
Thanks in advance!

I was on 5.0 rooted with TWRP and got an error trying to take the OTA. So I downloaded the rooted rom from Scrosler found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex.../rom-factory-stock-rooted-rom-lrx22c-t2960745 , used Wugfresh's NRT 1.9.9 to update the bootloader listed in Scrosler's post, and then dirty flashed (no wipes) the 5.0.1 rom with TWRP. Painless and fast with no loss of data or anything.

I get a 'page not found' error, but I will try your method! Thanks for helping, will let you know if it worked!

Just wipe cache and start again.. it will installs without problems..

Worked perfectly on mine running 4.4.4, too. (I wiped cache and Dalvik before and after the flash, though, just for giggles. No idea if that made any difference.)

[Q] Locked out of my G2

Alright, so last night I saw that the CM nightly build had been working for others so I decided to try it. I wiped and flashed but got a boot loop. I went back to recovery to try to wipe and reflash but the flash failed halfway through. I go to hboot and see that I'm back to S-ON... So now I'm stuck with a phone that won't boot, won't let me flash a rom in recovery, and won't even let me install the stock rom with hboot. I spent about 4 hours on it last night messing around with fastboot and trying apache14's OTA rollback method but was never able to get it to work. The adb shell won't recognize that I have the edited misc.img on my sd, even with a newly formatted card with no other data. Before anyone states the obvious, I was using the first version of the G2 clockwork mod, and if there was an option for a backup in there, I didn't see it anywhere. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
man i've been trying to help someone in a similar spot for 2 days now. so do u still have a custom recovery on there now?
so hboot recognizes the stock rom? what exactly happens when you try to flash it?
Yeah I managed to get a newer clockwork on here. Turns out a friend of mine just bought a G2 so I'm going to attempt to make a nandroid backup of his and apply it to mine. Think that will work?
It recognizes it, but just says "Main version is older! Update fail!" after it scans the image. I assume that's because I had the ota applied before I flashed the cm rom.

you should be able to just flash a rom in recovery. do full wipe then apply one of these roms:

Alright, I'm downloading it. I don't see why this would work when the desire rom and CM roms didn't but it's definitely worth a try. Thank you for the help. I'll post my results in a minute.
Edit: Nope
It starts to install and then:

hmm thats a little more info then u gave last time. which rom did u try?
Your odex rom. And I actually tried Paul's rom last night with the same results. I have to go to work right now so there's not much else I can do but I appreciate the help. I'm really banking on the nandroid restore of my friend's g2 backup working but we'll see what happens.
I had this happen to me also. Since you have clockwork recovery installed, you should be able to use the instructions in this post using adb while in recovery mode:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831398
The only change you'll have to make is you need to mount the sdcard in order to follow the instructions.
mount -o rw -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard
/cache also has available space so you might be able to use that without mounting /sdcard.
Hope this helps!
remember that in his first post he said that the phone has reverted to s-on. you've tried the original unrooted stock ROM? because with s-on I don't think you'll be able to flash any of pre-rooted ROM.
Mine had clockwork installed when I tried to install the signed ship rom in order to revert back to stock so I was s-on also. It appears that mmcblk0p17 was not WP in clockwork recover in my case, so I was able to dd the modified image to that partition through adb and then the shipped rom was able to flash normally.
Thank you again for all your help guys, but the nandroid backup worked. Though I am stuck on baconbits and my wifi card is not working at the moment all I need to do is follow the unroot instructions and i'll be fine. I hope...

How to restore stock Google apps in Jelly Bean?

Hi,
I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus (yakju) on Jelly Bean 4.1.1, rooted. Had CWM but flashed stock recovery to resolve the below-mentioned issue with OTA.
I've been having some trouble updating to OTA 4.1.2. Whenever I get the OTA push, I proceed with the upgrade but the process fails. I get the following error messages in recovery:
Code:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Verifying current system...
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/Gmail.apk", "d547e1c4367c20c48614c2623c9e30f72976bf67", "21177453e64d114f4c208720a0f57d9765665a1d")

(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Now as I gathered from the message, it seems that it cannot authenticate the Gmail app currently in my system. I'm using the 100% stock version, but I do recall that sometime back I used the "merge system apps updates into ROM" feature in Titanium Backup Pro. I believe it merged the updated Gmail, Maps and Play Store apps into the system.
Could someone help me figure out a way to make the system recognize the files as original? I've read at places that I can disable the assert on said files in the OTA file, but I don't want to do that. I want to fix this thing once and for all so that I can get future OTAs (4.2 JB) without any problem. Please help me out. Thanks!
A better way to load 4.1.2 is to download the stock ROM from Google's website and load it using fastboot. This way you can receive OTAs in the future since you be 100% stock.

Thanks for replying. Could you please share what's the procedure for that? And by stock ROM, I assume you mean the 15MB update archive? Or should I be downloading the full ROM?
Also, I understand that I will lose root, which I can get again no problem. But will there be any other data loss? Please confirm. Thanks!

Hi Evo,
to go to 4.1.2 stock rom, you can download the factory image from Google for Galaxy Nexus GSM. This one is about 235 MB big. Unpack it and also check out this thread.
Just flashing should not delete your data, but unlocking your boot loader will and of course if you wipe and make a clean ROM flashing.
Ok we've got a problem.
I downloaded the factory image and flashed it. My bootloader was unlocked already, but it still wiped my device clean. No pictures, nothing on the internal memory, it wiped EVERYTHING. I used Galaxy Nexus Toolkit by Mark Skippen to flash the image.
Ben, you said just flashing should not wipe my data. Instead, it's wiped EVERYTHING.
I took a NANDROID backup just before the flash, and also took full Titanuim Backups today. Unfortunately I forgot to copy them off the device, so they are gone with it! And I'm left with a brand ****ing new GNex! :s
Is there any way to recover the data that was on there? I've read thread names that one can recover data off of microSD cards. Can the same work for the phone memory? I need a way out. There was some precious personal and work data in there that I cannot afford to lose. Someone please help me recover that? Thanks!

[Q] Problem installing ROM

I'm trying to install Liquid Smooth's latest 3.1 build on my phone , and i keep getting an error every time i try
I have had problems with other 4.4 ROMs(i can install 4.3 ROMs like LS v2.37), and it keeps happening
I've been doing this for three years, so I'm not that much of a newbie, I'm just not used to errors and complicated things
The Log in TWRP says :
Erasing System...

set_metadeta_recursive:some changes failed
E: Error in /external_sdcard/LS-KK-v3.1-OFFICIAL-
(Status 7)
Error flashing zip '/external_sdcard/LS-KK-v3.1-OFFICIAL-

Does anyone know what's wrong ?
Im going to be gone until about 5pm EST, so thanks in advance
Update TWRP. Also after you wipe, but before flashing the rom, reboot back into recovery. Say No to fixing SU when you do. Then try and flash the rom.

Thanks dude, i never knew you had to update twrp, its probably because everytime i have a phone it doesn't last over 6 months, but the note 2 has been through alot, and its durable compared to my other phones
Permissions have to be set in a different way in 4.4.x ROM's. Commands like "set_metadeta_recursive" need updated binary which is included in updated TWRP and CWM recoveries.

[Q] Can't install Android update on Sprint GS3

Prologue: Sprint GS3. For most of last year I rooted my phone and put Cyanogen mod on it. However I'm planning to go to Ting so I downloaded and flashed back to a stock Sprint GS3 ROM late last year.
Got prompted to install the latest Android system update on my Sprint GS3. It say OK and it reboots into recovery. After about a minute of the install animationion it fails. I tried to link to a screenshot but XDA won't let me post outside links yet.
I can choose to reboot and it reboots like normal without updating.
The error message, in case it's hard to read, says:
Code:
-- Installing package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installing update...
Verifying current system...
"/system/priv-app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk" has unexpected contents.
E:Error in /cache/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation Aborted
Hoping there's a way around it, or am I just stuck without being able to update for the rest of the life of the phone?
PS - Yes I probably shouldn't have messed with it in the first place, I know.

Won't I then have to re-configure my phone again and re-add all the accounts and apps, etc?
Probably an FAQ, but then where do I find the NJ2?

No, with dirty-flash method (only flash ROM, wipe cache and dalvik).
I've just realized that there is another question. That answer is yes.
