If this is in response to the person who said CWM was taking up extra space.... that is for backups. If he's backing up via CWM I am pretty sure he does need CWM.

Yeah I'm dumb. I thought he was talking about CWM being needed for root. I stopped using CWM backup once I switched to Nexus because I haven't felt the need to flash custom rom. Stock images are available direct from Google and everything else is pretty much backed up to Google cloud.

I got a random reboot yesterday. Not nice.

However, given some of the other problems I've been having, I don't know if it's 4.2 or a defective unit. I'm gonna send it in.

That's what I meant and thought. Thank you for correcting me.

I didn't use the 1-click tool. To be frank that thing was more confusing than fastboot method to me. I basically followed this video with some omissions (already had USB drivers) and modifications (used latest version of SuperSU).

So I went this way:

fastboot flash recovery clockwork.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot boot clockwork.img

After the "blobs" nonsense, I deleted everything clockwork and reflashed recovery using TWRP.

@Dulanic: I intend to use TWRP for backups due to the phenomenon I described with regard to CWM in my previous post.
