So.. I have a 32 GB Nexus 7, build JRO03S. Just bought it the other day. Had 4.1.1 installed, tried to update to 4.1.2 and it would restart with the android lying down with the red exclamation point.
so.. after trying to adb sideload, etc, I downloaded the Nexus 7 Toolkit. I flashed to the stock image and all my device does now is the the start screen, "Google" in the middle and a unlocked Icon near the bottom.
Yes, I went too far.. I'm a dumb noob... how do I get back to anything from here??!?!?!
Get wugfresh and follow it.
Also I'm assuming this update wasn't an ota? If it was you should have just called google

Yep.. absolutely should have.
Luckily I tried every option in the nexus 7 toolkit until one just basically installed everything.. now successfully running android 4.2
I do have another build number now though JOP40C. is that ok?
Yes, JOP40C is the 4.2 build number.
Also next time, nandroid.
And store your nandroid on your pc for next time you break it =P

I bought nexus 7 yesterday and it came with Android 4.1.2. I tried to upgrade but when installing android is laying down and there is a red triangle on his chest. I tried to upgrade more then 5 times but everytime result is same. I don't want to root.So How can i upgrade?
Before opening new thread, i search it on internet and here. But i can't find the solution. If i broke the rules , i am sorry and i am sorry my english too.
Right at the top of this forum is a guide on returning to stock. Follow that guide and it will help you get 4.2.1 running.

Apparently, some Nexus 7's were not formatted correctly, and the update notices this and flips out (I'm not claiming this as fact, just what I have read). Once you follow the above guide you should be fine though as it re formats everything. I had the same problem and everything worked for me.

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

What's the toolbox? Use ROM Manager.

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.

Also I noticed that it always worked if I plugged it into a PC. I don't know weird glitch I guess.

im using sdk manager with the command prompt thingy
You do realize that the toolkit isn't magical? It uses the same commands. If you have problems doing it manually, the toolkit won't magically fix that.
Update your SDK files.

or if i use wugfresh and just say im 4.2.1 will it work?

No, you dont understand.
Just telling the magical toolkit that its 4.2.1 doesnt resolve anything.....
If you have issues manually rooting, the toolkit wont magically make it work....
So what your saying I don't have to download anything at all? Not SDK manager or any rootkits to manually root?

Can anyone explain why all mine and my wifes Nexus 4/7 devices seem to get updates a week or so after many of our friends devices.
We have had google accounts longer than most and I can only presume it is some kind of account based thing.
Very annoying.
I've got 2 nexus 4s, and a nexus 7.
No update yet.
I'm in the UK.

Historically it seems to be some sort of randomly assigned token. Ive been passed over but do the google services framework 10 times or so and get it within minutes.
FYI though, dont do that services framework if you are on a device registered on an apps domain with policies. It blows away tokens for authentication and you get errors and have to re-activate your device before it will start syncing again.

Google sends them out in waves. It doesn't matter if you have an account longer than most. When it reaches you, it reaches you.

Just download the OTA file and flash it via sideload in stock recovery. That or flash the factory image. Simples!
+1 to the user above me. I also just sideloaded the OTA and boom got the 4.3 in a flash using
adb sideload update.zip

Stupid question time, but I can't download the ota to my phone and flash it through stock recovery that way, can I? Like how I was able to with a custom recovery on my last rooted phone. Or do I have to flash it through my computer?

Yep, stock recovery has the 'adb sideload' option so you just flash using that as you would using CWM
1. Boot phone into recovery
2. Connect to PC
3. Make sure adb sees it
4. adb sideload update.zip (or whatever you called the OTA file)
5. Follow instructions

Good evening/morning
I got my n4 today and wanted to root it/put the latest stock rooted rom on it so i went ahead and downloaded wugz nexus root tool kit and proceeded to follow the steps
all seemed well until i flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010887
booted fine first time, after setup i rebooted and it didnt come back.
i thought it might be one of the apps i restored from google backup and so i decided to wipe data and start again
booted fine and i didnt restore any apps, instead it started updating the default google apps.
I rebooted and again it got stuck on the google screen.
I thought i best wipe system and data and try flash the rom again but it seemed to delete my rom from my folder.
I now cannot flash a rom, root toolkit now hangs when i try to push files or flash once it reboots and i cannot manually adb push to sdcard as it says the file system is read only
any ideas how to fix this as im at a complete loss.
i can still boot to bootloader and recovery but even the brickfix in the toolkit doesnt work
