okay here's what i did unlocked bootloader, rooted then installed twrp,installed PA then installed https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.franco.kernel.free then rebooted after that stuck at google logo
Did u flash a kernel within the app first???
Just reinstall the ROM will probably fix it. Don't bother wiping anything since your staying on PA.

Bricked my nexus for good but the good thing is I was able to retern it from where I bought it and now have a new one

Yeah same thing happened to me except different kernel. Just reflash ROM or working kernel. Not bricked just an incorrect kernel choice.

I just received my nexus 7 and there's already an update available. I plan on rooting and flashing a custom rom. Should I update or not? I know sometimes an update can cause problems when it comes to rooting and whatnot so I thought I'd ask first.. thanks for any feedback!

Yes update it. I updated to 4.1.1 first then unlocked, then rooted with permanent cwm then flashed touch cwm from rom manager.
Use nexus toolkit though so you can restore stock recovery to flash Amy new updates and root again easily.
Also no harm updating to 4.1.1 and then rooting we have methods set up for that right now.

You can root it before or after update, you're just updating to 4.1.1, or you can install a ROM that is already there, if you're rooting either way, just go for it right away

Thanks a lot for your quick responses! Lovin it so far no issues like I've heard about.

This is a nexus device. Unlike other devices you never need to fear an update may break your ability to root.

OK little preface, when I got my N7 I updated to 4.2.1, unlocked the boot loader and rooted with no issues. I found the zip for the 4.2 tablet ui and flashed it though TWRP. For whatever reason that soft bricked my N7. I completely spaced making a backup so I was stuck. I was able to flash the stock 4.2.1 firmware and got it back up and running. now I am trying to reroot my tablet but it's not working. I've tried flashing the superuser zip through recovery and also tried using the toolkit to push the needed files and nothing has worked so I'm at a loss

Xda is not your personal tech support. That being said, flash stock and fastboot OEM lock.
Beamed from my Grouper.
I just got nexus 7, I updated it to 4.2.1 then used toolkit and I accidentally used the version for 16gb or 8 and didn't notice 32gb down on the bottom. I then did the all in one and it was telling me to use the older boot loader version. After doing all Idk what's happening. Its not holding CWM I have to keep flashing it on to work and Idk how to unbrick it because I'm boot looping.. I wonder if flashing a ROM may help but I'm not sure witch section my nexus 7 is supposed to be in. I have nexus 7 32gb no 3g.
Please help me! Thanks.
Also I'm not a noob.

Try wugs tool to return to stock firmware. Then just run the right version. If recovery doesn't stick with his tool then use twrp. That recovery will stick. Then you can use the flashable zip from Dev section for cwm touch.

I think flashing any ROM will fix this problem. Is android development the correct section for my nexus 7? I had tried flashing a WiFi+3g kernel witch also gave me bootloop

It can be used to install stock as well as root.
Also android Dev is the right section but there are a few different variants of the nexus 7. People have had issues with certain things even if they are meant for their device.

My background light keeps flickering brighter then not as bright. This software problem?

Hi XDA.
After growing a pair of balls I've decided tonight is the night that I am going to unroot my phone, put it back to stock ROM and get it off of franco.Kernel. I am doing this because I want to start fresh and get it on Paranoid Android.
(I currently have a January nightly of CM 10.1, franco.Kernel r53 and unlocked bootloader whatnot)
I am looking for the stock kernel for the Nexus 4, but am worried about flashing the wrong one. I'm not saying like I'm going to flash a Samsung kernel or something stupid like that, I just mean that since I am on android 4.2.1 and if I flash a kernel that is made for android 4.2 can I screw up my Nexus 4?
Any tips?
Thanks a ton.
Edwin
As long as the kernel is for the Nexus 4 then you should be okay. You can get all the resources here.

Making a backup won't save you if you flash a kernel that's not for your phone

Just flash the stock images from Google. Contains rom, kernel, bootloader, and radio.

make sure your download isn't corrupted and you downloaded for the correct device. Should be fine.
What's the point of going through all the time to unroot and flash back to stock?
Why not just do a full wipe and flash paranoid android?

I was wondering how nobody else asked that question earlier because that's exactly what I'm thinking.
He's going from 4.1 to 4.2 he needs to flash the new bootloader and radio too

What are the risks of flashing wrong kernel on a phone? I got a samsung s3. Just wanted to ask the risks. Couldn't i recover using nandroid backup? I saw this post of yours stating not. Why?

I have heard of the digitizer blowing from flashing wrong kernels. I suggest only flashing kernels made for your specific device.

You should add one more ball to that actually make it two more as you are at it. First you should install latest cwm recovery and root your phone. Then go to the recovery and make a backup. After that you can continue with flashing custom Roms and kernels.

Hey guys i just got my Nexus 7 today and i am in love with it. Been doing the setup for all the stuff to root it and flash a new ROM onto it but ive come across a small problem. I used the Nexus 7 Toolkit V5.0.0 created by Mark Skippen and was able to finally unlock and root my device, the only problem is it wont let me boot into recovery mode and it just shows a little deaad android guy with the x thing coming out of his stomach or whatver it is. Im on 4.2.2 and am using the JDQ39 build. Any suggestions on what else is needed to be downloaded would be greatly appreciated!
