I do not think so ( but I could be wrong ), I am using 7.1.1 and have TWRP and SU installed and working.
You can always just flash factory images from Google to go back to stock anytime, its pretty easy.

rooting 7.1.1 is easy plus the assistant also works with build prop tweak, pixel launcher works, also arise works flawlessly

Hi all,
I have tried to update to 4.4 from 4.3 several times but it keeps failing. My tablet works fine still. I am on jss15r, I am rooted, and running multiRom with his stock kernal. I have gotten notice 2 times that 4.4 was available for download via ota and have tried to install it. It reboots into twrp and then runs for about 30 seconds the takes me to the main menu. I have tried to upgrade manually to 4.4 via some .zip files and twrp. Nothing seems to be working. Anybody had this problem or know how to fix it??

You to at least be on the stock rom. I was able to sideload the update through adb with TWRP.

I am on Stock Rom, I just modified the kernal to run MultiRom. Should i revert back and then try to manually update via ADB sideload?
Everywhere that I look says you need to be on completely stock rom. I'm assuming that means stock kernel too.

bkwright87 is correct. Some people get lucky and can take an OTA through a custom recovery, but it doesn't normally work. You need to return to bone stock then take the OTA or just skip a step and flash the kitkat files manually.

I heard this like a month ago.. Why no love for my nexus 7 2013 device? I tried to figure out sideload but I am still looking into it, tired of waiting. But i see I have build LMY48T and I thought i heard you can't?

I am sure Google is preparing an OTA from 5.x to 6.0 and will have it out shortly. Just because they haven't dropped an OTA for it doesn't mean that they aren't going to release it for us, the factory image already exists so it's only a matter of time, patience is a virtue, especially with Google.
You absolutely can sideload the ROM. You'll want to download it from Google here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en onto your computer and unzip it.
Download the latest version of the ROM then open Settings, hit About, and tap Build Number seven times until it says that You're a developer or something similar. Once it says that, press Back, open Development Settings, turn on USB Debugging and then plug the tablet into your computer. Run flash-all.bat within the folder you unzipped and if everything goes well, your tablet should end up in fastboot with the images flashing.
i've installed it myself when it came out and got the OTA update this week.
Not in rush as others has mentioned that 6.0 is somewhat buggy and lags on nexus 7....

I think I will stick with KitKat 4.4.4 on my N7 2013 until the dust settles.

I already have the 6.0 stock firmware on my Nexus, and I get the OTA, choose to install it, but it boots into TWRP and doesn't install? How can I flash the 6.0 update?
Thanks,
^You have to be totally stock to take ota's. Including recovery.
If you didn't modify any system files just flash the stock recovery.img from the version you're on and the ota will work.
But at that point why not just flash the newest boot and system.img and be done with it?

That's what I thought. Where do I get the incremental updates to flash? Or do I have to flash the entire firmware again? Data Loss?

You can download the official images from google and extract them. The sequence should be flashing the boot and radio, then reboot your bootloader, then flash the rest .img files and if you dont want your data to be wiped just dont flash the cache.img and userdata.img . You can find a proper guide just googling it.

I used Odin to flash TWRP and then used TWRP to install SuperSU. Note: If you're gonna do that, be sure to boot to TWRP immediately after you install it (home+vol-up) when Odin reboots it, then immediately install the SuperSU zip, otherwise it has a tendency to uninstall TWRP on you as soon as it boots into the system. NOTE: If you do this, it will for some reason break your Back button. You can flash idleKernel to fix that.
Flashing SuperSU should disable KNOX. FYI, ROMs for most Note versions will work on the canadian version/N900W8/hltecan. I've installed N9005 and N900T ROMs with no issues, just be aware you might lose NFC.
Hi everyone. I accidentally flashed a space x kernel meant for a different carrier S6. Now my touchscreen isn't working. I'm trying to flash back to stock via TWRP but don't know where to find the stock 6.0.1 firmware where I don't have to pay for fast download speeds. Does anyone here have access to it? Thank you.
Here you go: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995306913
Tested and works fine.
I would suggest doing a backup with TWRP or Titanium backup

If u got backup just restore the bootloader and u will be ok. If u dont have backup go to download mode and flash stock rom.
Or install any rom throught twrp for the 920p. Touchscreen should be working on the twrp. (Mine was working.)

Is there a stock image with root I can use with my Nexus 7?
Right now I am using Dirty Unicorns and it overheats and freezes to the point where I have to reset.

How do you feel about a factory image, then just using Chainfires Auto-Root in bootloader to get root? Dont forget to lock bootloader afterwards and you will have a stable and secure device
Your device is:
without LTE flo / razor
with LTA deb / razorg
Factory Images (by google)
dev elopers.goo gle.com/androi d/nex us/ima ges
Auto-Root (by Chainfire)- hint: dont flash that zip. try unzipping and using the root-"insert your OS here" instead
auto root.chai nfire.eu/#fast boot
Sorry for the spaces in the URLs but the board restricts outgoing links from new users
I can't flash the Chainfire zip in Fastboot mode?

Flash this in TWRP. Stock 6.0.1 with root. Nothing simpler.
I flashed the stock ROM. Runs like a dream now.

The above is stock ROM, just with BusyBox and Root, which is what I thought you wanted?
