Do you have adb fast boot setup? If so, download the official Google stock images and flash them individually in fastboot

You can also download the nexus 7 toolkit here at xda. Its free and its awesome IMO. I soft bricked my nex7 once and fixed it good as new with the tool kit. Just follow the instructions for flashing back to stock. You can even do so without loosing root. Or you can unroot and re lock the boot loader if you like. Heres the link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809195

The problem with using a toolkit is you learn nothing. If something were to happen again and the toolkit can't fix it, your're screwed.
Taking the time to learn fastboot commands will help get you out of pretty much any issue. If you want a longer explanation as to why I prefer people to use fastboot read here.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1469909
I tryed both methods and wasnt successful i still can enter fastboot but am not that great with these sort of stuff is their a way for me to directly flash a rom from my pc to the tablet without me actually doing it with the tablet ... or a way for me to put the rom in the tablet because i am stuck and i cant put anything in the tablet

Wouldn't it be three words?
fastboot oem unlock
Yes the steps are simple:
First have fastboot working on your computer.
Next have your phone drivers installed if you are on Windows.
Then put your phone into bootloader (hold Vol Up while powering on).
Finally run: FASTBOOT OEM UNLOCK
Bootloader will unlock and you can flash whatever you want. Sounds like you will want to flash ClockworkMod Recovery and then SuperUser.zip.

Thats the thread I have been referring to though it isn't clear on how to keep my stock gingerbread....i am good to go so long as I know how to keep my stock factory os...
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Through step 2 your stock OS is unchanged
Part 3 installs a custom recovery which is needed if you want superuser permissions
Part 4 installs the files needed to have root in your OS
So if you want to keep everything stock and just have an unlocked bootloader feel free to stop after step 2, if you want a rooted stock follow through each of the 4 steps
Great news, the bootloader is now unlocked...halfway there! I am on the Rooting step...
In clockwork recovery, the root aborts with error "E: can't open/sdcard/su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip (bad)" then says "installation aborted".
Done and rooted. Yay!

Good job!!!
ok first off i am using my first nexus device which is the nexus 7. i have recently unlocked and rooted it so that i can flash paranoidandroid onto it. i used the google nexus 7 toolkit 4.0.0 too. so when i hold down the volume rocker buttons, i get into fast boot mode. after that i select recovery but when i do that, it goes pixelated for a sec and a dead android guy appears with a explanation mark over him. I'm assuming it already has a clockwork mod but if not can someone please help me?
Check your app drawer for cwm. If it's not there download it from the play store, once installed open it up and flash it. Or go back to your toolkit and flash it .

CWM or ROM Manager. It's also unnecessary to hold the volume keys to get the bootloader; hold power until the Google screen (maybe not necessary), at which point you just press volume down.

well i went into the toolbox and flashed clock work mod and its still doing the same thing. any ideass???
Sorry I meant download ROM manager. I stand corrected. Thank you. Once it installs try flashing cwm from there. If that doesn't work you might have to go back to stock and start over.
Hope this helps

Yeah it still doesn't work
Does it boot up and function normal? Are you sure you have root?
I think you should start over. Try flashing stock 4.2.1. See what happens.
I am also very new to this. I really messed mine up twice. I had to start over time and time again just to get mine working.
Reading on here a lot of people don't like these toolkits. You have to follow the directions given to you from the toolkit to perfection or they don't work. Trust me, I learned the hard way.
I can't help with adb (I'm still trying to learn)
The toolkit will work. Like I said, try flashing a stock ROM. If the toolkit let's it flash then there is no reason it won't flash cwm.
Read the directions

did you delete the recovery-from-boot.p/ file? you would have to if youre using the stock rom, or the stock recovery will replace the custom recovery every time. use root explorer or a similar root file manager to delete it.
It'd probably be best to flash a recovery image through fastboot. You can find both CWM and TWRP in the dev section.

No odin is for Samsung devices. You could flash using fast boot or just do it using cwm/twrp.

It's nothing against the toolkit, it's an excellent tool.
However, it's better for newbies to learn how to use ADB and fastboot on a nexus because that knowledge can save you should something happen.
Plus, it's good to know what the toolkit actually does prior to using it. It's not infallible, so having knowledge of what it's doing can help you troubleshoot should something happen with the toolkit.

Werd...I tried using a toolkit to root my N4 and, when all hell broke loose, I ended up having to ADB it. Thank God I'm not a n00b...lol
Like they said, Odin is for Samsung devices only. I too highly recommend setting up ADB, busting out the command line and getting your hands wet.

There's a modified boot.img? I don't think so... To root, all you need is a custom recovery. I also wouldn't use the toolkit. At this step, it's just as easy to do it manually. Just type in with your device in fastboot and connected to a PC: "fastboot flash recovery name of recovery.img"

QFT!
There is a rooting guide stickied to the top of this section which answers all of these questions.
Im in dire need of help here. I sold my phone through ebay today and have been rushing round to restore the phone to default. In the process I have wiped my phone of everything up to installing the factory 4.3 rom onto the phone.
Unfortunately, I cant access the phone via my computer! Ive tried installing drivers but I cant access the storage to put the rom onto the phone for me to install it and I'm tearing my hair out over this.
Please tell me theres a way to do this!
Thanks in advance!
PS. Windows 8.1, TWRP recovery.

You don't copy anything onto the phone... You flash it in fastboot. Plenty of threads about this.

To restore the phone to stock you need to use fastboot, not flash through custom recovery, otherwise the phone still isn't stock and they won't receive updates.
Just follow these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34552123
For Windows 8 to install the driver you need to reboot into advance mode and press F7 at the menu to disable driver signature, adb/fastboot and driver link in my signature.
