Oh okay, I have the wifi only model "Flo" but I'm hesitate to flash. I hear it breaks root.

Most OTA's will break root, but it's usually a simple process to get it back. Reflash a custom recovery and then reflash the su.zip file to reobtain it. The factory image in particular will wipe the device unless you flash it manually partition by partition and don't actually flash the userdata partition. The ota zip file should come soon so that it can be flashed in the stock recovery and not have to worry about that.

Haven't done this is a while, how does one flash the above file. I am unlocked and have fastboot installed ...just been a while since I did this ;-)

You have to have the device be virtually stock. Stock rom (no Xposed), stock radio, stock kernel, stock recovery. Download the file to you computer, boot the device into the stock recovery while connected to the computer, select adb sideload, and use the command adb sideload PATH_TO_File.zip

Thanks, updating as we speak, had to wipe data & cache as it gave me a:

Not enough space on /system to apply patches.
E:Error in tmp/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation Aborted.

I have everything backed up so no problem.

Booting as we speak now... thanks again!

Got the update last night. All seems fine. I don't notice any big changes, but the touch screen seems more consistent. When using Netflix, it always took 4-5 tries to pause, but now it seems to work on the first touch. That was when I noticed touch issues the most, so I don't know if it was the app, or the screen.

I have 2 n7 2013s, one updated fine. The other one says " not enough space available to download system update. Its the 16gb model and has 10.4 GB free out of 11.5. Hardly any apps, its my wife's and she just plays candy crush all day. I rooted it a long time ago and unrooted and flashed factory img long ago as well. Any ideas?
