I have my Nexus 7 dead after an attempt to flash it with stock rom 4.1.2 using the latest version Nexus 7 Toolkit (the donor version)
Everything goes well until the Toolkit attemps to flash the bootloader Image. Using ADB, the toolkit recognizes my Nexus serial number, the toolkit indicated that it is in fastboot mode (the screen with the stomach-opened android figure) and with messages confirming that I am in fastboot mode with an unlocked lock state)..
After selecting to flash with the latest stock rom downloaded from google using the the toolkit, wipes are conducted and the toolkit can erase boot, cache, recovery, system and userdata..
So communications between my PC and the Nexus are going well
But at the moment to send the bootloader, it stops and I am not going further of this
Any hint?
I just flashed stock and relocked the boot loader on mine. I used the wugfresh toolkit. Very easy to use and worked great. It downloaded the 4.1.1 and flashed it. When I powered on the tablet it auto updated to 4.1.2 ota. Maybe give that toolkit a try.

For whatever reason, none of the stock roms downloaded by Nexus Toolkit worked for me (neither the 4.1.1 nor the 4.1.2 versions)
However, the 4.1.2 file downloaded from the link shown within the above URL had a different size and worked nicely
My Nexus 7 is working again. Thank to all of you..

You should be able to use fastboot to flash a recovery img or use a toolkit.

Did you remember to change the recovery-from-boot.p file after you did the 4.1.2 update?

Yes after I update to 4.1.2 OTA those problems came
And now I managed to reboot to CWM by wug's toolkit but I can't enter to recovery from the bootloader

This is a problem many Nexus 7 owners are experiencing since the 4.1.2 update, whether by OTA or flashed from sd card. There apparently is an issue with the bootloader (version 3.43). One solution that I have seen on t his forum and on another is to flash the last version of bootloader (3.31 I think). I have tried every conceivable method to get into either stock recovery or custom recovery to no avail...flash, 2 different toolkits, ROM Manager, TWRP...you name it, I've tried it to no avail. I have not tried to flash back to the old bootloader though...just doesn't sound like a good idea...although I have not heard of problems being encountered by those who have flashed the old bootloader...yet. There are a couple thread in this sub forum on the subject if you want to read the 100 different ways users have tried to get a recovery.

I found this and I didn't tried it because it may not work see for your self
I just wondering when the android 4.2 will be released to solve all those problems

I think my bootloader is 3.41 and I have no issues but I flashed the factory image from Google because my touchscreen didn't respond after the 4.1.2 OTA.
Try flash the bootloader and see if it works and if not then flash the factory image.
Just note that if you use the script/batch file to flash it all automagically it will wipe your SD so flash each image separately and don't flash userdata.img
flashing factory fixes any software problem, its the best thing about owning a nexus.

try to flash other kernel...... franco kernel works very well.....
wugs toolkit should work for you....
can you put your nexus in bootloader mode? if you can don't worry your tablet is not totally bricked.....
boot your tablet en bootloader..... open wugs toolkit an select back to stock and unroot(select that the device is semibricked and tell us what happen)
Hi I have just bought my Nexus 4 and was thinking of flashing the factory release. If anyone could point me in the direction of a Nexus n00b guide I would be grateful.
I have rooted and flashed ROMs on my previous android phones but only using Odin to root and then flashing ROMs from the custom recovery and ext SD card. I assume that the Nexus has a different method of flashing files.
Thanks in advance.

With Nexus devices you use fastboot to flash factory images.
Use the guide link in my signature or this one from Android Central which is really good.
Also download the Minimal ADB/Fastboot and Universal Naked Driver packages. Make sure to connect your Nexus while in USB Debugging and get the driver installed correctly first. If you are using Windows 8 you need to reboot in Advanced startup mode and disable driver signature before installing.

Also there are a lot of toolkits in original dev section to help you but I won't recommend it as I believe you need to first know how to use ADB. Lastly, if you would just search before making a thread like this...it would be great.

I had never flashed my phone before; never even rooted it but flashing 4.4 wasn't that hard once I got the drivers figured out and the SDK manager installed I used these commands:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-mako-makoz20i.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.84.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-occam-krt16o.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Good luck!

Man simply root your phone and flash a stock kitkat rom.... All of 10 minutes, some people have been having bootloops with images and since your a novice that would be your best bet to getting kit kat. Not that images are bad or the wrong way to go but too me a person like you its easier and better off rooting and flashing stock.
Bootloader and radio not necessary unless you want too
Thanks to all. Got round to flashing the factory image yesterday after reading the links. All went OK noe running kitkat and nova beta launcher.

Hi, I booted into TWRP recovery mode to attempt updating my rooted Nexus 7 from 4.2.2 to 4.3. I wiped system, dalvik cache and cache. I also (stupidly) wiped data and internal storage too. Now I cannot turn on my Nexus 7 fully, it only shows the Google insignia with the unlocked boot loader icon below it.
I can boot into recovery mode and I can USB host, I tried copying a zip of the stock 4.2.2 ROM for Nexus 7 wifi onto my flash drive and tried flashing under the "install" section on TWRP but it always fails (I do not know why).
I cannot connect my Nexus 7 to the computer. Can anyone help me out, please?
Use adb side load in advanced settings
adb sideload nameofrom.zip
adb sideload gapps.zip
Reboot
Profit

Either flash a custom ROM from recovery or use the Wugfresh toolkit to flash a stock ROM.

Agreed, the toolkit works like a charm.
I had also deleted the whole Os and fixed it with the help of the toolkit.
Not sure why folks keep telling you to flash a custom rom when you ha e clearly stated that it fails. So, heres my two cents......
Since you already wiped the internal memory and there is no chance of data loss, just download the stock image and fastboot back to a fresh system. And for gods sake, dont use wugs. Just use good ole fastboot. There is a very easy how-to in the stickies of this section. This forum is full of problems arising from toolkits, that could have been easily avoided by fastboot.

I SECOND that use the toolkit from wugfresh for this.
ADB sideload and Fastboot is a real pain with TWRP don't know why the file does not get pushed at all.
Save yourself time and just use the toolkit if it's a Nexus device if Samsung find a similar toolkit tool
The site for toolkit is wugfresh . com ( no urls so the space )
Hope this helps someone
Good luck

When I restart Nexus 7 it always boot up to safe mode. Tablet first shows bootloader menu and when I choose to start, it boot in to safe mode. It looks like volume down button is always pressed on but it don't work - does nothing in bootloader menu, and in safe mode.
I don't use it for some days. I don't remember the tablet being flooded or hit. It just appears. First I thought that it was caused by some bug in LineageOS. I made factory reset, and when it does nothing I set u Android 5.1 again but that also didn't work.
Do you have any idea why this is happening?
You mean you are always booting into recovery when starting up the device? This may happen if there is no valid boot.img / system.img installed. How did you install the current system on your device? Do you have an unlocked bootloader? Do you have the latest bootloader (4.23) installed on your device?

Last thing I did is option Flash Stock + Unroot in Nexus Root Toolkit.
Yes I have bootloader 4.23.
Sorry, but I don't know what the toolkit is doing and whether everything went as expected .. that's the disadvantage of using toolkits.
Best would be to learn how to install and to use fastboot and after that you can decide either to flash stock factory image again or to upgrade to one of the custom ROMs available for the Nexus 7.

I think you don't understand me. Nexus Root Toolkit have nothing to do with this. It works 3 years with my Nexus 4 and 1 year with Nexus 7. This problem appeared long after installation of LineageOS.
Ok, I installed Android 5.0 manually and I still have this problem.
Did you notice any error messages while flashing the stock image? Did you do a factory reset after returning to stock?
I am still thinking that your bootloader is closed and you are not really flashing / changing the ROM, but flashing fails and you are remaining in the same state as before. Just as an idea ...
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Labs
I would do one step at a time assuming fastboot and adb work. Search for adb minimal. Download stock zip to same directory. Run fastboot oem unlock. Unzip stock zip and try running flash-all.bat it flashes compatible bootloader and stock zip. If that doesn't work img files are inside stock zip and can be flashed separately.

Sorry for leaving you like that.
I took the risk and ordered flex cables with volume buttons. Now the tablet works fine. I'm sorry for the trouble.
