So Just received my 2.2 Update, and was going to install it when I remembered, "Wait! I am rooted!"
My question is can I update too 2.2 and not have anything "bad" happen.(Root Lost, System Boot Loop, etc)
I am running Stock Update 2.1 with Root.
EDIT: I have CWM set as my recovery.
Another user did it in general forum and it doesnt flash because of mismatch
Just like the last Lollipop update, if you're rooted, you'll need to return to stock.
Otherwise, wait until the full rom .zip is available and then download it and flash it in your custom recovery followed by re-flashing the latest SuperSU .zip.

Im on Philz
Can I flash recovery image via "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", then reboot the tablet, install the OTA and then with Flashify flash Philz again?
EDIT: I just re-read what I posted. Can I use flashify to flash stock recovery, updating with OTA and then reflash Philz?

The "full" 2.2 OTAs are available everywhere on xda right now...Just flash the appropriate one, reflash recovery (if you have to) and then reflash supersu.

can somebody help me i need root
Did you read the instructions? In this case, when flashing CWM with Odin, do not set the "reboot" flag in Odin. Instead, after flasing, reboot manually and direct into recovery. Then flash SuperSU.
If manually rebooting immediately after flashing CWM brings you to stock recovery, the flash was not sucessful.
Just in case anyone needs it - here's a flashable zip with stock Nexus 7 2012 WiFi KitKat recovery, straight from the factory image.
Instructions: just install the zip using your custom recovery.
You do this on your own responsibility, I am in no way responsible for anything that happens to your device.
works great thanks
Does this flash the boot.img and recovery as well? Or only system?
So this replaces twrp or cwm?

Just recovery.img, and yes, it replaces cwm or twrp.
When I flash the zip in cwm, it says it was successful. Then when I reboot and go back into recovery, its still cwm. What am I doing wrong?
Is this recovery better then then other custom.
Btw i just want to know becouse with my new nexus7wifi 32GB 4.3 stock i didnt had recovery only boot loader, with kitkat is coming also stock recovery and when i get ota update is it gonna be installed

To be able to receive and install OTA, if for some reason you don't want to flash the factory image with "-w" removed.

So if we are on custom rom android 4.3, we just need to flash this zip and we will get OTA update for stock android 4.4?

No. You only get OTA for stock. Why would you think you'll get a stock update for custom ROM?

Yes, but the OTA won't apply itself if you have custom recovery.
so this recovery is for stock rom only?

Basically, yes. That's why it's called "stock recovery". You can use it on other ROMs I presume, but it's very limited and doesn't allow for flashing zip files.
Anyways - if you don't know why would you want to flash stock recovery you probably don't need it. It's here for those that do.
So if this is flashed and I'm on a custom ROM right now will I receive the stock ota 4.4 ROM?

No you will loose your custom recovery when applying the OTA, but that's another topic. You will get the OTA independently whether you have a 'stock' or a custom recovery installed.

When I flash this, I still have clockworkmod, and can't get the OTA to 4.4.3. It downloads and starts to install, but get aborted.
My nexus was bootloader unlocked and rooted while on 4.4.2.
I OTA updated to 4.4.3 and lost my root.
Is there a way to re-root the phone without losing all my data or having to wipe?
Thanks in advance for the info.
Yes, flash a custom recovery or just boot into it and flash the supersu.zip.

Yeah Philz for life! lol.
Well it seems like for some reason it reverted back to stock android recovery.
Could I still flash a custom recovery and go from there?

The reason is the OTA contained a recovery. You have to flash a recovery as already mentioned earlier in the thread

So I had my phone rooted, with TWRP recovery, and today I've received a notification for 5.1 update, and when I pressed Install and reboot, it rebooted directly into TWRP, so I can't update it (or didn't find a way). Is there any way to update it now without wiping data?
There's a whole thread on the ota process in the general forum. You should read it. The ota will not work with a custom recovery. You need the stock recovery which you can install using fastboot. There are other requirements too. You have to be 100% stock system, kernel and recovery.

Just flash the ota zip via twrp you will loose all root and your system modifiactions which are reversible!

It won't work with 5.x. You need the stock recovery.
