Is it a good idea to flash this on top of a stock rooted/unlocked nexus 7? Do i need to wipe cache/dalvik?

I just flashed this on top of my stock rooted JRO03S ROM and wiped caches. I made a nandroid, just to be on the safe side, but it booted right up without issue.
I'd say flash it after making some sort of backup, and if you have problems, full wipe.

Thats what Im doing right now. If all fails, I'll just reflash stock and flash the update on top.

Flashed it worked fine for me installing all my apps as we speak

I flashed this, worked fine, but now I have lost root and can't boot into recovery.
I have tried re-rooting again with the toolkit but it doesn't seem to work as it always boots back to system without doing anything.
The state seems to be still unlocked though.
Please advise

All working fine over here Flashed on top of rooted/unlocked stock 4.1.1 with wiping Cache after flashing.

Flashed the new bootloader (which fixed the recovery issue for me), then wiped cache and flashed the new ROM dirty over rooted 4.1.1. Worked fine. Thanks!
PS. Aroma installer is pretty cool. First time I've used it.

I'm confused. Is this JZO64K or JZO54K? After flashing, my about screen is showing JZO54K.

(Q) Brick bug?

I'm rooting a friends at&t skyrocket tomorrow that is on official ics update from at&t and was wondering if that brick bug was still present.I know i might be a little late with this. I was told by a friend that it was only present on the ics leaks for this phone and just wanted to make sure now that this has official ics that i won't have any problems worrying about a brick on my hands by wiping data factory reset in cwm. Go easy on me please I was on the OG evo when all of this brick stuff happened so I never payed much attention to it

Regardless, wiping data/factory reset using cwm won't effect anything. I'm pretty sure that problem was the result of wiping in the phones settings menu (if I remember right).

Honestly, i'm not sure. I never really worried about it. Always use CWM for wiping and never had a problem with anything.

I think it happens when you try to format the internal SD card. Its an emmc bug (I think) but I don't have the bug and my i777 doesn't have it. I thought it was on the specific kernel for the i777 and the international variants.

[HTC One SV][Kernel][Linaro][4.2.2] Linaro kernel for K2_UL v0.1 ALPHA

Hello and happy new year everybody!
I compiled stock k2_ul kernel with linaro toolchain, just for fun. And I'm sharing it
I tested it personally and on my phone it seems to work fine. Anyway, let me now if something doesn't work.
if you're S-OFF, just flash the attached zip
if you're S-ON, flash the zip, then reboot in fastboot and do
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
from computer.
Features:
- Compiled with Linaro Toolchain
- Unsecure system
- Debuggable
I'm not responsible for any damage you make to your phone.
have fun!

Given the similarities between both K2 variants it may very well work. If you wish to test it then I advise booting it vice flashing it. This way if it doesn't go so well, you can reboot the device and your original one will still be in place without being overwritten. Below is the command to boot vice flash:
fastboot boot boot.img
Edit: if you do it, please report back here with updates.

Yea, I get that, but the above command will boot the boot.img instead of flashing the boot.img. Flashing will overwrite the specified partition with the other img, where as booting it will keep the original, and in a sense, virtually boot the other img and will run it until you restart your device in which your device will go back to using the original img already stored on your device previously.

[Q] Does reinstalling the kernel reset the dalvik/bionic caches?

Hi,
Does reinstalling a rom reset the dalvik/bionic caches and adreno drivers?
Because I change my rom a lot, and I don't want to reflash the other zips everytime I change my kernel.

Hi,
Yes, you need to reflash them (Adreno drivers, Dalvik and Bionic patches) each time you flash a rom, they are overwritten even with a dirty flash. Unless your future rom include them.
When you flash a kernel no it's not necessary, they are not on the kernel side.

[Q] I want to root, but...is it worth it?

I apologize for asking this question since there are several variants of it all over this forum. I just haven't quite found the answers I'm looking for.*
When you read this and respond, please keep in mind that I am a major noobie. Pretend you're talking to a child. **
My reason for wanting to root is to take advantage of certain apps like BoostVolume, AdAway and TitaniumBackup (can't remember the others I wanted...).
At this time, I don't want to install a custom ROM. I'm just not ready to take that chance.*
So...
Can I get some of the benefits of rooting without installing a custom recovery?*
* * *If so, what will I gain and lose by doing this?*
* * *Will I still get OTA updates? *Will an OTA update remove root access?
For some reason, I'm really stuck on continuing to get OTA updates...I guess I don't want the responsibility.

There are good threads for "major noobies" to read.
Start with the "read before you root" thread at the top of this q&a forum. Also, search general for "ota help-desk". There is a rooting thread stuck at the top of general too.
Please read those then let is know if you have any questions

Yeah, I'm not sure why I'm leery of flashing the updates. I guess I have to take it slowly and start with rooting (without custom recovery).

I don't think you can root without custom recovery. Don't worry about it. If anything goes wrong, which is very very unlikely, you can restore to stock in fastboot.
Sent from my Nexus 5

If you are going to root, I really suggest getting s custom recovery too. Then you can make a nandroid backup and generally undo most problems that may happen by returning to that "snapshot" of the os.
But using fast boot to restore a factory image will fix these too, with stock recovery, but will erase data.

I had planned on using CF-auto-root, so I didn't need a custom recovery. I had based that on my fear of changing too much, but I also saw this, which I'm probably misunderstanding?
​From Chainfire: (I am personally moving away from custom kernels and recoveries, for various reasons).
The more I think I understand, the more confused I get. It seems I'm getting lost in the terminology. To completely understand my options, I need to back up and go through the definitions and CLI commands again. A lot of what you're saying is going over my head. I think I've read too much and some information just isn't sticking.

Don't worry. It's actually very easy. If you know about 2 fastboot commands you'll know just about anything you need to.
fastboot oem unlock, unlocks the bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, puts a custom recovery on your phone
