JB 4.20 available

For me, part of the fun of having this device is upgrading and Discovering nuances and in some cases bugs. It can be annoying losing capabilities that you did have when upgrading but I try and take that with a grain of salt and a little patience. There are developers working hard right now trying to fix things and come up with new ideas and ways to enjoy your Nexus. I heard that their going to be making a new bulletproof glass model and one that you can actually remove all the critical system apps and folders and still get along with no errors.
Seriously speaking, If you choose to go back, I think you can flash back with one of the toolkits.

Yes. If you go into settings apps Google framework and clear data and force close Google framework. Then check system updates. It should get forced to you. BTW, messing with Google framework has been said to carry some risk although I never had any problems.

Hi bird
I've just noticed that you retired for 7 years, me 6.5 years and loving it too
 

Two more weeks, and I'll be starting my 8th year of retirement. 

I got my replacement USB-OTG cables (3) today.  I can't access my flash drive using 4.2 without Stickmount or the other USB mounting apps working due to the per-process mount issue.  Couple that with the Nandroid restore issues caused by the directory emulation situation, and I'm going back to Paranoid Android based on 4.1.1.

Sorry, you non-rooted folks.  I don't think you can go back/downgrade.

Anybody can downgrade by flashing a previous factory image...

Nexus 7 4.1.2 JZO54K factory image can be found here.

I wasn't sure. Thanks for the clarification, JJ.

No problem mate, it's part of the beauty of a Nexus device.

I downloaded this but TWRP doesn't show it in the folder. I was going to go back and try and fix my sound issue. I thought it was going to be the same process as downloading and installing the 4.2 update.

Factory images need to be flashed with NRT or using ADB...

I see. I thought that the download of the recent upgrade was a factory image. I need to do some more reading. I guess I need to use rom tb.

[JayJ]

No the recent update was an update zip, just do a batch backup on TB and backup your internal memory because flashing the factory image will completely wipe your N7...

Looks like there is a new version of TWRP for JB 4.2.

Can be installed via GOO MANAGER.

I have installed it, but not yet tried it myself.
