How to Manually Update the Google Nexus 7 to Android 4.2.2

This video will show the necessary steps to update your Google Nexus 7 to the latest Android version 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. This is the same as the official OTA update. If you have a custom recovery installed, you SHOULD be able to just put the zip file below onto your internal storage and hit "install zip from sd card" within your custom recovery. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Hopefully this video helps.

Hey Tim. Just wanted you to know your videos are getting better and better. You have always explained things very clearly and now they are just getting cleaner and cleaner.

[qbking]

no, if you're on a custom rom this won't work. Either go back to stock, or just wait for a dev to post a 4.2.2 rom (recommended)

Excellent, I had a bit of hassle doing this on XP, but a bit of research and a few registry tweaks and I'm now on 4.2.2 thanks!

[qbking]

Yes it does. I'll do a vid talking about changes soon

[qbking]

redownload the update zip and try again

[qbking]

just a quick custom clip a friend made

yeah, you need to install pdanet, it's the easiest way to fix this. also, make sure that pc installs drivers for android while tablet is in the recovery state! you can check that via adb devices command, while your device is in recovery and connected

[qbking]

No worries, a dev will post a stock rom soon enough

I get Error in \sideload\package.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted
What can I do to fix this???

[qbking]

Did you install a custom rom? If not, just put the update zip on your internal and hit install zip from sd if you have a custom recovery

[rickdgv]

I sure missed following your updates (my company bought me an IPhone. Fortunately, I have a Nexus 7 now. You have definitely found your calling, you make these things just about idiot-proof Tim. Thanks for all you do!!

[pedroalexis]

parcero de casualidad yo puedo poner simplemente el archivo ZIP en mi memoria interna y pulsar en "instalar zip desde la tarjeta SD"???? otra cosa, esta actualizacion será que llegará directamente a la tablet?? o es obligacion que me toca hacer estos pasos?

Hey, Tim. Great video. On a custom recovery install (TWRP and CWM respectively) I got a status 7 error. I had the latest version of each.

[MattBrown]

Never mind it works, You are amazing. I hope Youtube is paying you.

Hi! I am trying to update to Android 4.4 on my nexus 7 2013 and so far, everything is going well except that i cant access the "menu" from the recovery state. All that happens is that i see the android with a red exclamation mark (no text) but it wont open the menu which would allow me to apply adb update.Can you please help?

Hey Tim, I would really, really like stock Jelly Bean on my Sprint GS3. Is there such a thing like a AOSP for that phone?

[gilbertgood]

do I just need the tools and the platform tools? there's a Build tools setting there now

[TomBuchanan]

I still have no resolution. Has this been resolved for you and your device?
