Thanks for this - did you use the updater script from the JWR66V tilapia from Androguide.fr in essence ?

Yes, its a good straight forward updater-script. The actual ROM is just from the stock image, extracted, deodexed, manually added root and busybox (could never get the kitchen added one to flash), zipaligned and using stock boot image.

Are you flashing this on the 2012 Nexus 7 3G/HSPA? Have you installed the lastest radio and bootloader?
I have just flashed it using CWM and it worked no problems.

According to that image you posted your Nexus 7 is already running JWR66Y so you'll have the latest bootloader and I can see from your baseband version that you are running the latest Radio.
I cannot replicate the issue you are having with flashing your Nexus 7. I'd suggest maybe restore it to stock and start again.

I restore and try again, but still not. I still do not understand what is my problem?

Yep, Im getting the same error

Just want to ask that how can i install it?
It is for Nexus 7 3G 2012 right?
I'm now on Android v4.2.2 JDQ39,so do i need to do what before flashing this rom?
Like what radio or bootloader? I don't know about this...
It was rooted,with TWRP recovery & locked bootloader.
1 more thing,will my data be erased?
I have many things in it,also many apps.
I'm not good with the Nexus 7,so anyone please tell me.
Thanks a lot.

Okay the failure you are getting is from the first line of the updater script where it calls for a check of the device product id. It is expecting you have a tilapia. If you are not on a stock ROM or have a modified build.prop then it will fail before it starts.
Also please make sure that you are running bootloader 4.23.

Yes if you unlock the bootloader it will allow you to flash roms but yes it will wipe your device (well not your pics, music or vids but apps and data will be gone) so backup first. Titanium will work as you have root.
There are no restrictions to keeping a bootloader unlocked, your device will boot as normal except for the little unlock symbol at the bottom of the screen.
If you unlock the bootloader and flash the stock recovery then you will be able to run the OTA update, you will lose root doing this, but you will have the correct boot img, recovery and radio of a stock device.
I recommend using WugFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit to flash everything you need. http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/

Nexus 5 with "TeamWin" failed update - and won't start again

Hello everyone.
Two hours ago I received the notification about the Android 5.0 update. I downloaded it and hit "Install". Then, "TeamWin" started, but not the update. I rebooted into System and tried to update again - but it tells me that 4.4.4 is the latest version I can get now. I'm on Build KTU84P now.
1) Do I need to remove TeamWin? If yes, with what?
2) How can I start the update again? I'm on a super slow connection and it would hurt to download the 500 MB again…
Thank you!

You need to remove TeamWin, and load up your stock recovery. I don't have the exact instructions for this unfortunately.
The OTA update will come back to your phone soon, usually. Did for me within the hour.
The issue I am having now, back with stock recovery, is during the install I am getting a dead Android error icon, and can't continue. Looking for any help I can, and hopefully it will help you too.

Gosh, this used to be so easy all the time.

if you are using twrp, why the heck are you trying to install the ota? why not download(from xda) and flash a recovery flashable stock or aosp build, and make life much easier for yourself? heck, i dirty flashed from 444 to 5.0 via an aosp flashable zip without any issues, and kept all my data.

it wont flash over a rooted rom anymore as of lollipop. you can flash the factory img via fastboot though, in your bootloader.

Trying to remove the root right now via SuperSU. I am hopeful it will work better afterwards.
Edit: SuperSU unrooted it, rebooted, did OTA again, error again. Is there no way to find out what this error is?

[ROM] MCG24.251-5 100% Stock

Flash using TWRP. This will flash all files in the MCG24.251-5 update except for recovery.
New features in this update that I've noticed:
-Marshmallow, aged to perfection in Verizon's own servers. Only one major release version obsolete, and with outdated security patches!
-WiFi calling (woooooo! Those custom roms just got another carrier-specific, unportable feature to compete with)
-The command center widget has been replaced with the Droid Turbo 2 version
Get it here: https://mega.nz/#!G1xg1aYa!fm2hUL7hDDVaxTAj_iPbtY61P-8VrQEvoOJiVsDtdho
Here's the stock recovery image if you want it: https://mega.nz/#!r1wDQRCJ!KHbo_Q6L-WE_VyB1x8W4FbT6PrerPEyn9H1C6VUAyf8
Flashing this rom updates the bootloader to a version that can communicate with the kernel to tell SafetyNet that it is unlocked, causing it to fail. Fret not, however, as there are two options to fix this:
OPTION 1: Flash the SU4TL-49 bootloader using the following TWRP package: https://mega.nz/#!6logEaIQ!q8qPJw65Upt38Hxiu1JyxErmwbgL7CBzuGzzPC0C9pQ
OPTION 2: Flash this patch made by @bhb27: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120696423
Wipe cache and dalvik/art cache after either of these options.
NOTE that these options only fix failures due to SafetyNet checking the bootloader status. It will still fail due to root, xposed and the like. There are no known consequences or side effects to either of these options, so just pick whichever one you feel like.
If you notice weird things after you flash this rom (long boots other than the first one which is supposed to be long, random reboots, etc.) try flashing the stock recovery image and factory resetting.
If you want root, flash this version of SuperSU first, then flash whatever newer version you want: https://download.chainfire.eu/751/SuperSU/
If you have trouble flashing this, try TWRP Mod 3 instead of Mod 4.

Ouch, you have almost full flash inside archive, with bootloader too... Who is the most brave, introduce yourself ))
+ mirror

I can confirm that it works on old bootloader.
I had SULT-49 5.1 installed before and I just flashed this via TWRP. I haven't taken the OTA. It works perfectly. Thank you.
PS: My bootloader now is moto-apq8084-70.95 (2016-06-29). Do you have same version after taking OTA?

Did you have to wipe the system, data and cache first like you would with a new ROM or just dirty flash it?

I don't. I don't know how I would get it since I need root access to get it, and I can't get root access without TWRP, and I have to overwrite the stock recovery to get TWRP.

I just tried using AP a few hours ago and it failed with the screen in the article. OTA with unlocked bootloader.

New Update - QF2

According to the Verizon Galaxy S5 Update Page:
Android® security patches and bug fixes.
Resolved a ring-back tone issue on calls to non-Verizon phones.
Fixed an issue where some users reported difficulty making calls to non-Verizon customers.

The security patch included is (most likely) the July one, since Samsung also just released a new software update to international models which includes the July security patch and Verizon has been updating the "Galaxy S" series phones with the July update over the past few weeks.

*This will remove Developer Status/Lock your Bootloader*

Appreciate that, but how do you get the Odin firmware file out of curiosity?

Updato is one way; this shows the list for the Verizon S5 with the most recent at the top; they haven't gotten the new update up yet though.
I think that another way would be for someone to dig through the update.zip file which would be on the phone of someone who got the OTA update downloaded but had not yet installed it yet.

To confirm, the only thing that's different between the dev-friendly version (when it comes out) and the stock is the missing aboot? Thanks again.

Yes and the firmware just came out today so I'm currently in the process of uploading both versions.

Is this flashable with Odin only or possibly need to already be on a specific kernal? I have tried on two S5900V's through TWRP and both result in a failure message. Both are on jkruse de-bloated MM rom at the moment.

Since no one wanted to chime in and help me out in my post, you need to unzip the file and load the md5 into Odin's AP slot and flash it. Then let the phone do its thing and flash the latest TWRP with odin after. Then go back into TWRP and flash supersu to gain root again. Trying to flash right within TWRP is not an option, not sure why its not explained.

So this update wont "factory reset" my device?

Did you loose root?
I dirty flashed and lost root, was unable to get it back.
Reloaded TWRP via Odin and then flashed SuperSU, nothing. Wiped and restore backup all good. ..

I always flash super su and whatever else I need in recovery after I've flashed the rom so I cant give you a definitive answer. Both phones did upgrade without data loss and now advanced calling/wifi calling actually work now which is why I flashed in the first place.

Working?
Is this working? Ive tried everything and i have the Toshiba chip. Emmc 11. It soft bricks if i try to downgraded to stock builds.

If you flash the dev boot loader friendly version it wont screw with your bootloader whatsoever. Before you restart go back in TWRP and flash supersu to get root again. Saying it "unlocked boot loader" may cause confusion to people because it does not, you need to manually go from locked to DEV status via a few of the methods posted in here.
