Long story short, I was in Italy last week when the update was released. I was notified and installed without a hitch.
I came back to Mexico last Saturday. I was notified again of an update.
I didn't give it a second thought, figuring Google had released a hotfix for any bug they might have discovered.
Low and behold, Google downgraded my N7 back to 4.1.1 due to my geographic location!!!
I was rooted in before and the original 4.1.2 updated perfectly, as the 4.1.1 downgrade I was subjected to.
I tried the Force Stop / Clear Data trick. My tablet does detect the update, but upon reboot I get the firmware screen with the red warning sign.
I'll try the force stop / clear data trick again, as I've seen fellow xdaers getting a fully functional 4.1.2 N7.
Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations?

Hi,
while waiting for the Nexus 7 KitKat 4.4 OTA i found out that my Nexus 7 is still running JWR66V (rooted).
There has been a minor Update to JWR66Y, but my device never informed me about this. When I am checking the systems updates there is "nor update available".
I had installed FOTAkill.apk half a year ago, but i did remove it from /systems/app
Any idea how to get OTA back online again ?!
Hi I had a note3 delivered yesterday and it keeps saying there's a software update available now I've updated it about 5 times already and still says the same? Also I have just sync'd my gear watch to it and a update came up for that so updated it and it now says the same for that also?
Pull battery?
Hi,
I have a Nexus 7 ME370T (Wi-Fi Model). I'm currently on 4.4.4 but if I check for updates the message is "System is Updated". No 5.0/5.0.1/5.0.2. OS is original and was never rooted. How can I get OTA updates (don't want to flash from factory images).
Thanks in advance
Stefano
I would stick with Kitkat for the time being until Google works out all the issues
wait!!

The Android 5.0 update for the Nexus 7 had loads of performance issues. So they stopped rolling it out.
Based on what I hear from the forums, Kitkat > Lolipop for N7.
So, if you look at Asus's website, they have released firmware TW_V12.14.1.9 and in the changelog it mentions that "the first boot time after upgrading to Android 5.0" will take 5 mins. So I think that release is Android 5.0. It was released on April 2, 2015 so maybe we can hope to receive an OTA update for WW_V12.14.1.9 sometime within the coming week? I sure hope so!!
do not update if important sound in the headphones, disappeared after updating bass.
Before getting root solution, it's not recommended to update it yet.
OTA released since 12PM CEST, i can confirm that the version of Lollipop is the 5.0.1 WW_V12.14.1.9 which is 779MB in size.
No problem since I updated my tablet except one notification telling me that one application is requesting a newer version of Google Play Services...
Did you have root on tablet before you upgraded the new firmware and if so did you still have root afterwards?

Nop, no root...
Update breaks root. Zenroot failed.

Moreover, you can't apply OTA if you have root AND SD patch applied. Tried to install OTA, but no dice (stumped on platform.xml which was modified).
Thinktank: can you pre-root the ROM and install?
Hi, I've made an OTA update yesterday from .31 rooted version to Lollipop and I've lost root as I've expected. Beside it, tablet is unusable - still cycling messages 'Unfortunately IndexService has stopped' and 'Unfortunately ContextProvider has stopped' . I have to do super-fast double click on these messages and then I have about 0,1 seconds to click some other item before the cycling messages appear again! With this annoying double-clicking process, I've been able to reach "settings" app and make another user account - cycling messages are gone, but when I want to use Chrome, message 'Unfortunately Chrome has stopped' appears and other browser don't work too (Dolphin, Asus Browser, Chrome Beta...).
I've made the factory reset, but messages 'Unfortunately IndexService has stopped' and 'Unfortunately ContextProvider has stopped' still appear and I can't even to pass welcome guide!!!
Tablet is now useless, downgrade doesn't work.
Looks like Asus pulled the Lollipop update for the ME572C from their site.
I checked both the U.S. and Taiwan support sites (www.asus.com/us/Tablets/ASUS_MeMO_Pad_7_ME572C/HelpDesk_Download/ and www.asus.com/tw/Tablets/ASUS_MeMO_Pad_7_ME572C/HelpDesk_Download/). The Lollipop 5.0.1 WW_V12.14.1.9 build that came out in early April 2015 is nowhere to be found.
I hope Asus is going back to fix reported issues and...hopefully...go straight to 5.1 or 5.1.1 with the next update soon.
I checked also and noticed it was pulled after only being posted for a brief time. That is odd. I actually haven't had any issues with mine since updating to the lollipop build and actually have noticed a remarkable inprovement in my tablet since the last update. Of course, I did have to sacrifice my root to go to lollipop, but I was only using root to delete alot of the bloatware since the stock KitKat was slow and stuttered alot when new. It's not like we have an unlocked bootloader to flash custom roms with, so as long as they can make the stock firmware fast and smooth, I'm content to use it. Although, wouldn't it be cool if they pulled it and were gonna release the next update as a 64 bit version to take advantage of the 64 bit processor?
