Try to download it again. Sounds like a corrupt download

Are you using 'Choose zip from SD card' or 'Install update.zip'?
If you're trying to use the latter, use 'choose zip from sdcard' instead.
If that's not your issue then I fully agree with the post above mine.
Hope I can be of some help ^_^

Dont know what your error is and Im sure you've done this....but maybe open superuser and check the status of busybox intaller.

This was on first boot after installing the rom. I selected allow.
I do, however, still get an error about not having root access too. So annoying.

How to update to JB using DLPKGFILE and KEEP ROOT! Works!

Right, so, through a bit of trial and error using guidance from the forums, this is how I updated to JB and kept root for WW after the update originally failed.
download BOTH files from here (massive thanks to ch3mn3y):
http://www25.zippyshare.com/v/91334594/file.html
http://www1.zippyshare.com/v/96461494/file.html
then extract the .zip file.
download the command file from here (massive thanks to krabappel2548):
http://www.mediafire.com/?yq1bt16mnm7tc8d
extract it.
place the dlpkgfile and command file, both unzipped onto your tab. Use a root explorer to paste the command file into /cache/recovery and the dlpkgfile (the actual file, not the folder) to /cache.
go to Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper and temp unroot.
turn off the tab.
boot into recovery with Vol - and power, then when it says to press volume up to boot into RCK, do it.
You'll see the android with the blue wires and it will go through the install process if you have done it right. let it do its thing.
obviously, when it has settled, restore root with Voodoo.
If you get the android with red exclamation mark, i reccomend downloading the ICS zip of your current firmware and SKU and sticking it on a micro SD card, and letting it restore any programmes you've deleted.

Will your last line lose root on us, or will voodoo root keeper save it via that or does it wipe/reset the entire system?

When i ran ran the zip of .30 i did lose root, but it was easily restored using 1 click transformer root.

I tried it twice but it always failed at about 1/3 of the process... Hopefully I can reboot w/ any damage...
WHY!?? :'(
Btw here's the part of the log where it shows the failure in installation:

I think I found the problem: I remember I pushed jelly bean's music2.apk in system/app! Restored the original music app.
Gonna try update again!
Now it the turn of libGLESv1_CM.so ...

Going to give it a try.
Just to make sure, is this for WW version, right?

Already got this before my update notification stopped working.
I deleted Email app, returned it back to system but seems I dont have the right version. (found in someones dropbox posted here)
Also reflashed Ww. 30 hoping this would overwrite the widget with correct version. Obviously it did not...
Would be glad for any help.

As it is MY dlpkgfile it can need MY files. I could upload /system, but first its strange to copy/paste whole android and second it is 624mb and third it will work only for rooted and at least fourth i updated my pad.
If it helps my pad was reflashed to .30 using wolfs method cos i had screen issue.

Could you please try to upload just the EmailWidget?
When I tried using OTA I got an error on Email.apk first. Then I downloaded it from dropbox and it passed. But EmailWidget did unfortunately not.
Also trying to find a tool that could extract the .30blob file. I guess the apps should be there. Found something but probably Linux only so no go for me.

You guys made my day! I had the red triangle and couldn`t get the update anymore. Tried everything, nothing worked.
Now I just followed your guide, dl. your files and all went fine.
So sad I was ony able to hit the Tanks-button once. Thank you thousand times!

I can't delete any files on my nexus 7?

My nexus 7 had slowed down recently. So I was advised by someone here to reinstall the stock rom. So I backed everything up that was on it and installed the latest version of android (4.2.2). It worked. It's not slow anymore. But there's one problem. I can't delete any files on it using es file manager. I get a message saying "cannot delete some files. Please make sure that your storage is not mounted as read-only". I don't know what that means. Can someone help me?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

You can delete unwanted files straight from TWRP Recovery. TWRP > Advanced > File Manager >SD Card > Select Items > Delete.

Well that worked. But it's too much trouble to have to go into TWRP just to delete a file. Why can't I delete it with ES file explorer like I could before I reinstalled the stock rom?

And SU or SuperSU (whichever) is active, with root permissions being granted as needed?

Depending on where you're working you may need to ask for write and mount privileges through terminal.
For example if working in /system:
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
Caution do not do this if you are not experienced. You may damage your system.

Hmm I'm not sure I understand. I already put it in rw mode in the es file explorer app under tools/root explorer. But it still won't let me delete things.

Guys something is definitely not right. I just noticed that I can't read or write or edit text files (.txt). When I try to open a text file with es note editor it says an error occurred while trying to open file. Why is this happening? I almost wish I never did a fresh install.

Hm weird. Under the assumption that you are doing everything correctly, it should work as superuser permissions supersedes all and any limitation unless the file is open preventing it from being written to. If that's the case you will have to go through recovery as Username invalid suggested to edit the file.

I just tried that. Unfortunately it didn't work. And it gets worse. It seems like I can't do anything to the file system at all. Meaning I can't create a new file or folder. And I can't edit or delete what's already there. I haven't tried to download anything yet. But that probably won't work either. This is terrible.

If you can install apps, install root explorer from the store. Its the better tool for this type of issue. Also install terminal emulator and try the command that was in one of the replies above.
How did you return to stock?
Please don't fall back on the I'm a noob thing and expect people to hold your hand. The more you do/learn yourself, the better help you can expect here.

I returned to stock with the nexus 7 toolkit. It does everything for you. But it doesn't seem to help with this. Anyway I looked at those apps, and root explorer is $4.00. I don't mind paying for it. But I want to know if it's a necessity to have before I buy it.
The other app (terminal emulator) has multiple versions by different companies. How do I know which one to get? Here are some:
Android terminal emulator by jack palevich
Terminal emulator by cityapp
Shell terminal emulator by mobildev
Terminal IDE by Spartacus Rex
There are even more, those are the free ones.

Hi,
I rooted my device with Odin/CF autoroot (still on stock rom)
I now want to get the official update. I've unrooted by using the 'Permanently Unroot' within Super SU. I've cleared the cache partition in recovery. I do not have an SD card.
It still says modified and won't update. Can anyone offer assistance?

The problem is going to be you have to be rooted to delete it. It is safe and should have been removed before you unrooted.

Sorry for being such a pain in the ass but under system/xbin I only have
daemonsu
daemonsu-old
dexdump
su
Nothing busybox related.
I've done a full search using ES File Explorer of my local files - 0 results found for busybox.

This may or may not have anything to do with the update issue but it's worth a try. Sometimes the damensu-old file will remain in xbin after unroot. Next time before unrooting uninstall any play store update to the supersu app then unroot from settings in supersu. After you unroot use es file explorer to confirm that the only file left in xbin is dexdump. Then try the ota update.
