boot loop - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Nexus is stuck in a boot loop.
Trying to load into the ROM will leave me stuck at the Google logo but the unlocked pad(bootloader unlocked). Trying to get into recovery mode will do the same thing. I can temp boot into TWRP using wugs toolkit
I have some very important videos on my Nexus 7 that I would like to recover before flashing the stock ROM
Can anyone tell me the steps to recover when in my position?
Thanks

try wiping data(factory reset) and flash the rom again.

Is this the stock recovery?
If you have access to fastboot, then flash a factory os. That simple.

I've tried to using two different toolkits and niether will accomplish the task. Is there an alternative way? i.e manually doing it using ADB?
And thanks for helping

As I said, use fastboot. Google "restore Nexus 7 with fastboot"

Nexus 4 Possible Hard Brick?

Hey guys, I was going about trying to flash a rom and accidentally erased system and then tried to flash a corrupted rom. Obviously I ended up with no OS and no way of sending a file over to the internal storage. I tried all the Nexus 4 stock restore, all utilities. Everything.
Nothing has worked. I can flash the recovery easily but no way of getting a rom onto the internal and if I boot into OS, it will Loop the X symbol.

You can flash a recover, but can't flash stock? That's odd. So no fastboot?

The strange part is, Fastboot works perfect. Only issue is with the Stock rom boot-looping on the X. And the kernel is stock. Is there software that will completely bomb the phone and revert it back to complete stock?

TWRP and I forgot that I shouldn't let it "fix" broken root.
I just used the basic guide on how to flash a factory image of 4.3 in smaller pieces with fastboot, skipping userdata (so I could keep mine), and then sideloaded the two KRT OTA followed by flashing SuperSU 1.75. I did all that in one go, on my second Nexus 7, before booting it the first time.

1st Make sure you are on the latest twrp. 2nd it would be easier just to flash a stock ROM in recovery instead of flashing the factory images.. Is there a particular need for using the factory images or do u just want a working ROM?

Stuck in a BOOTLOOP [help]

Hi guys,
First thing is first, I am an idiot. Now back to the problem. I was having some issues with my rooted Nexus 4 so I decided to factory reset it instead of using the Nexus Root Toolkit . And it got stuck in a bootloop, when I tried using the toolkit afterwards to get it out - I couldnt because of something to do with USB debugging. I dont know what other information you need to solve this so please ask.

As you can boot in to recovery, why don't you try to flash a custom ROM?
If you don;t want that, flash the factory images (that's the simplest way and I had used it once )
