Let me know if there are any problems with it.
Just updated the ROM as I realised that Framework hadn't been deodexed.....its now fully deodexed.

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.

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.

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/

Here is the bootloader in a zip that can be flashed over anything.
I recommend flashing this because it fixes the issue where you couldn't boot into recovery from the bootloader.

yeah,finally!!!!
it's my fisrt need in absolute in all my device the fix of the reboot-to-recovery from bootloader's bug...many times away from pc i bootlooped the n7 by my tests,and i had to wait hours to came back home to connect to pc...very good by google!:laugh:
On another side,i think is abolsutely right flash this BL and continue using a 4.1.1 rom instead of new base...right?
EDIT Wow,is very light a bootloader for nexus 7...compared tol for example a gnex one..
Odd...doesn't fix the boot into recovery bug for me. At least with TWRP.
In the german android-hilfe forum someone soft bricked his N7 by flashing this (He got a bootloop and cannot Boot into the CWM anymore).
Can someone confirm that the zips are functional or not?
I downloaded from the meadifure link in his forum on rw, installed it through clockworkmod touch and haven't had any problems. Booting to recovery from the bootloader works fine for me.

Thanks for this, for some reason when I updated to 4.1.2 OTA using CWM everything went fine no errors but it didn't actually update my bootloader which is odd. So I was able to update it using the CWM zip provided. Thanks!
Thanks for this! Flashed without issues.

How would this affect my ability to hide breaching my warranty? Would replacing the bootloader that was shipped with the device give me away, or does an OTA update flash the new one anyway?

You can't be rooted to use the OTA. Anything that is modified in the system will cause this.
I downloaded the full image and extracted just the radio, system and boot image files. Then just a few fastboot commands with bootloader reboots inbetween and 5.0.1 works.
For reference, I used the following:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
So while sideloading it should I unroot as well?

I was thinking about doing this, too... but am I correct to assume that this would cause data loss? I have TWRP and SuperSU installed at the moment.
Or, if there's an easy way to ditch these and do the OTA, I'd be okay with that, too.

It won't cause any data loss. It's about the only way to get the ota to work. But in your case, since you have twrp you should also flash the stock recovery.img

No data loss (well, apart from root) if you flash just the radio, system and boot images. Worked great for me.
Thanks for the tips, guys. After extracting the full 5.0.1 firmware from the Factory Images page, there are system and boot .img files, but no radio. Is this normal?

---------- Post added at 02:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 PM ----------
Alrighty! New problem: After the phone boots, I get the battery and signal icons in the top right, but a black screen otherwise. If I hit the power button to put it in sleep mode and then hit the power button again, I get a quick flash of the "Welcome to Android, select your language" screen. Any pro-tips?
If I have to set up from scratch, it's no big deal. Most of the important stuff should be backed up; it'd just be annoying. All that Desert Golfing progress!!!
Finally managed to get around it. Ended up updating TWRP and re-flashing most of the .imgs a bunch, then using TWRP to first let me back up data to my computer and then wipe partitions. I'm on 5.0.1 again.
Welp, that was painful, haha. I'm sure I did something wrong leading into this, but I'm not sure what that was...
If i just flash the whole Firmware that i downloaded from Google, will i be able to flash it and loose root?
I am OK with loosing root and beeing back to stock.
At this moment i have Lolipop 5.0 that is rooted with Chainfire.
I was running rooted stock 5.0 with TWRP and had already flashed the 5.0.1 radio, so I just fastboot flashed the 5.0.1 system.img and rerooted. All is well so far.

BUT I don't know what exactly you did with your bootloader, so I can't guarantee its compatible.
WARNING: THIS HAS BRICKED PHONES! It is suspected that having an encrypted phone causes these bricks, but that has not been confirmed. If your data partition is encrypted, it is extra important that you perform a factory reset before taking this OTA. Doing this will remove the encryption.
WARNING: INSTALLING THIS ON A LOCKED BOOTLOADER WILL ELIMINATE ALL CHANCE OF YOU EVER UNLOCKING YOUR BOOTLOADER.
If your bootloader is unlocked, it will not be re-locked after this update.
Do NOT flash this using TWRP. If you want to do that, use this version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/development/rom-mcg24-251-5-100-stock-t3512949
So if you're a bad enough dude to flash this anyway, follow these instructions:
1. Backup all data on your phone. It will be lost.
2. If your bootloader is locked, make sure you are on SU4TL-49. If you aren't, take all available OTAs until you are.
3. If your bootloader is unlocked and you have TWRP installed, flash SU4TL-49 using this package: https://mega.nz/#!3xRhiaSR!KxH2Ya_BYK4zBjrxmej7dqaaDJVT1coTFJVJ5Fvb2WM
4. If you have TWRP installed on your phone, download the stock SU4TL-49 recovery here: https://mega.nz/#!L1AkQD4T!qoZIlLa-wuUBLMEi_gE574meiHd6Pehb34a-x3Gb-V8 and install it using the install image option in the install menu in TWRP. Reboot to recovery.
3. Perform a factory reset using the stock recovery menu. This will wipe all data and ensure that everything is formatted exactly as it should be.
4. Boot the phone normally and place the marshmallow update on the root of the directory that pops up when you plug in your phone.
5. Boot to recovery and at the stock recovery menu, select "apply update from sdcard."
6. Select the update and cross your fingers.

Are you sure that that file is the right one? It has the same version number as su4tl-49.

I'm positive. I seem to remember they did the same thing with SU4TL-49. The OTA was named after SU4TL-44 for some reason.
This is the stock recovery version, correct?

Correct. You install this using the sideload option in the stock recovery.

Thanks for the info and the download! You finally brought the wall down. I'm waiting for the twrp version myself
.
Thank you, now we can see what can be done with the new modem, kernel, etc...
Looking forward to a plethora of improvements to our phones

I'm testing the TWRP version now. It should be up shortly.
EDIT: I flashed it and it seems to work fine. Uploading now. Should be up in a few hours. I'll check on it after I go run some errands real quick.
Despite having software status report official, not modified, I too got a status 7 error. Downloading again.

This used to always be Motorola's naming scheme. New updates were named after the firmware version they replaced.
Sweet. I am going to wait till it is more stable. I do have a bad esn Turbo but I will need to unlock to bootloader to test.
Mirror for people having "quota exceeded" error at Mega
https://yadi.sk/d/AhmhE-yX32E84p
Rename to Blur_Version.24.81.5.quark_verizon.verizon.en.US.zip before use, throw in internal storage, and check for updates.
PS: I have 64Gb Employee Edition, and still had not receive update by air. What a shame, VZ! )

Error 7? Are you trying to flash this in TWRP? Because you can't do that with this package. You need the stock recovery. I'm uploading a TWRP-friendly version now, but the internet is being slow today.

Negative. Stock recovery on a system that reports "Official". I'm at a loss.

Strange. Try reflashing SU4TL-49. If my TWRP package doesn't do it for you, use the full firmware package and do it manually with fastboot.
Installed successfully on two devices.
...
kitcostantino, did you refresh system, kernel, modem and recovery by SU4TL-49? Are you sure you didn't mess with Turbo Maxx ROMs in the past? Foreign bootloader can cause even brick, not just error. See bootloader status at fastboot mode should be " locked, status 0"

lol. lawd, No. Ive been rocking status 3 for over a year.
As a tip, if anyone else with an unlocked bootloader runs into this,
what i had to do was restore my su-44 unmodified backup, OTA to SU-49, and then, after confirming my
q/e status was 0/1 i was able to update via the file in my Mega download folder. all is well now. they even added the newer version of command center. sweet. thank you all!!
It works in LOCKED BOOTLOADER??? .-.

Um, I couldn't tell you.i be been unlocked since the day Sunshine could unlocked our bootloader's. What I can tell you is you should absolutely unlock that via Sunshine before you even dream of applying this update. There will never be another opportunity.
Just my
.02. This is likely the last update for this phone, and your only chance of seeing N is via custom Roms.
TWRP version up now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/development/rom-mcg24-251-5-100-stock-t3512949

Yes it should. See instructions in OP.
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?

When in doubt, always wipe.
Hey everyone, what is your safetynet status with this rom? It's failing for me, and I can't figure out why.

It works w/o, but, IMO, better wipe, than not. You don't need extra bugs, right )
It's completing setup now, I did a wipe after I backed up my phone. It's unlocked and rooted before I flashed the zip

Sure, I'll throw it up on Google Drive. Do you have just the MM stock recovery kicking around?

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.

Just the first boot after flashing

Thanks for that! Did anybody try to install it right over SU4TL-44? Just in case, I'm rooted, using xposed and twrp.

Perhaps this:

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