Alright, Ive had my nexus 7 for a while and I want to unlock it and root it. I havent decided what rom to use yet. (Would love input on good ones, 4.2.x) I plan on using the Motley kernel, but I was wondering in what order should I flash them in, should I flash the rom and gapps then let it boot up and settle in, and then flash the kernel? Or the opposite? (Kernel first, then rom). Just looking for an answer to the flashing order and feedback on good 4.2.x roms, I was thinking either Paranoid 2.99 Beta or CM10 Nightlies
ROM goes first; otherwise your custom kernel will be overwritten.

Alright thank you, now Im just wondering about a good 4.2.x rom
Ok Ive unlocked and root my nexus, and I try installing a custom recovery (TWRP) and then when I go to the reboot recovery option in Nexus toolkit, it boots to a droid with a red triangle, and wont do anything, I have to hold down the button till it restarts..
I went through most of the the Nakasig Tilapia ROMs (Nexus 7 3G) here on XDA and decided on this one from my signature (temasek's).
Also, tried some kernels (faux, motley) and decided on the franco one (based on the Battery Saving skills I saw in a study-type post).
Why this temasek's? I was searching and didn't find a ROM more flexible than the CyanogenMod at the moment. I may be mistaking (this is my oppinion).
It has a lot of options and customization you can do, BUT, this temasek's ROM has all of these and also his own features ( Tethering and portable hotspot was what I was seeking, you can also check the rest out).
Hope that helped. :silly:

Sounds like you didn't actually flash a recovery.

Ditch the toolkit first of all. The best way would be to use fastboot, but Goomanager and ROM Manager can flash them from within Android.

if running stock, just with root, you have to rename or delete the recovery-from-boot.p file. or the stock recovery will replace your custom recovery after every boot, every time.
from twrps' site.. http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/103
The stock ROM*will automatically replace TWRP with the stock recovery.* To prevent the stock ROM*from replacing TWRP, boot TWRP, go to the mount menu and mount system, press the home button, then press Advanced ->*File Manager.* Browse to /system and select the file named recovery-from-boot.p then choose to rename the file to recovery-from-boot.bak.

to transfer from one device to another, computer to nexus 7.
Thank all of you so much, all probably just stay stock for a few days but I'm might switch, do you guys have any recommendation of kernels and Roms?
I'd like to recommend u to see the following thread to select your 1st ROM and Kernel.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2070419
Regarding ROM, personally I love ParanoidAndroid because of its customizability. But as your 1st choice, how about CM10?
About Kernel, I love Franco #25 for 4.1 and #31 for 4.2. To select Kernel, pls refer to the following thread.

Ok Ive been running Motley kernel for around a day now and its amazing, but I was thinking about testing cm 10.1, but I was wondering when I factory reset and clear the data, will it erase my Nandroid backup?

Just do a factory reset don't erase data or however it's worded. All the same it's never a bad idea to have a Nandroid on your PC or a USB drive.

How do you access the backup on the device from the computer, I didn't think you could see root directory natively

TWRP saves the backup to the /SD/ and I thought CWM did as well. Even if it doesn't, copy the backup from the root to the /SD/ with your tablet then transfer to the computer.
Alright cool, I just flashed CM 10.1, what kernels work with it?

Disregard all of that lol, I flashed over motley on Cm10.1 and it performs beautifully
Ok, so I've got a huge problem. First of all, my PC doesn't see my Nexus at all... I've tried all the fixes. In a last ditch effort I tried downgrading to CM 10.0, but I forgot to wipe the data etc. So now it's stuck in a boot cycle. Also My recovery is somehow messed up!
So I can't connect it to my computer, my recovery is messed up, and the Rom isn't booting. HELP!

I mean when I boot into recovery, it stays on the Google logo.
What version of Windows do you have? What all did you try to get it to recognize the tablet? Do you have access to another computer or operating system?

I was happy that I rooted the phone and got Japanese fonts working.. but I wanted the ability to adjust the gain/volume of my mic headset and tried to install a rom to do that. I used the Nexus Root Toolkit to root the phone and do an entire backup. Then I flashed the rom. It didn't take and I really had no idea why (being noob). So I go on youtube and see what i can find for flashing a rom. I see that you have to delete your old OS in order to install the new one.. ok.. risky but I did a full backup right? Well when I tried using Nexus Root Toolkit to install said rom the phone ended up with a screen with a menu with some options including to delete the OS. So I did that. Then I tried to install the zip file which was now on the phone thanks to Nexus Root Toolkit.. but it still didn't take. Okay. I gave up. I rebooted.
But I have no OS. And my Win7 machine can't see the phone. I tried deleting and installing drivers again and it doesn't work. I can boot to the fastboot screen (the one with the Start at the top and cycle through options like recovery mode). But the computer can't see the phone. Nexus Root Toolkit seems to be of the opinion that I need to enable USB tether debugging mode on the phone.. but there's OS to do that.
Is it hopeless?
btw I think this phone is great. I would prefer maybe a slightly smaller phone but i can't believe how cheap it is, beautiful screen, fast, responsive. Amazing.

Sorry i accidentally clicked your thanks button. If you have a recovery installed then just flash a rom.
windows 7 can't recognize the device now
Thanks very much for the reply. I still am thinking it's hopeless... I followed your link and I'm attempting to follow the directions...but here's where the problem is. And basically why the toolkit can't help me either.. (I agree it's better to understand all steps and yet I'm lazy..)
Attempting to install drivers for Nexus 4...
*** cut and pasted from OEM USB Drivers install guide **
Locate and expand Other device in the right pane.
Right-click the device name (such as Nexus S) and select Update Driver Software. This will launch the Hardware Update Wizard.

The phone doesn't exist in device manager. Perhaps its lack of an OS keeps windows from realizing what the heck it is?
Do you have a custom recovery installed?

Not on purpose. So probably not. Actually I doubt it. I am looking at Nexus Root Toolkit and I see the checkbox for Custom Recovery and I know I did not check it when I rooted.
soft brick?
The computer does acknowledge the device to the extent that it installs Android ADB (if memory serves which who knows).. but otherwise it doesn't know it's a Nexus 4. It thinks it's an MTP USB Device.
I am playing with Nexus Root Toolkit a bit (it did do the backup of the phone afterall... ) and it apparently flashed the stock kernel.. that's the 1st thing I've been able to do to between the phone and the computer. Now Toolkit is telling me to wait 7 minutes before assuming soft brick.
I am thinking it is soft bricked? gonna wait a few more minutes.
well I ignored the lack of nexus 4 drivers...
and just followed all the directions anyway for the command line install. When you go to the LGE website to get drivers.. you don't find any. At least I couldn't. Just manuals to download. But I got success messages all along and it rebooted when I told it to and stuff.. but it's just sitting at google. It isn't going past the google screen. The computer calls it an MTP USB device with a big exclamation point next to it.
clockword recovery
I might have it. It might have been installed when I did my full backup perhaps. If it's the reclining robot with a red triangle and an exclamation point then yes. I can wipe cache, wipe data/factory reset, and apply update from ADB, or reboot. I've wiped the cache and done a factory reset... I'm gonna try:
Default [HOW-TO] How to flash a factory image / return to stock / unlock / root #

And hope.
It's a new phone so I am still within the 14 days they give to return it.. of course if it's a brick when they get it back... heh. Okay it's a 100% brick it does turn on just not boot up...
it works omg

Well 2nd time through was the charm.. and not worrying about nexus drivers too much.
Thank you very much for the link. I can't say I really understand everything more but I am happy that I seemed to have killed the phone in the worst way and yet still got it working.
I was going to go back to the iPhone 5 (and lose a lot of money haha). I'm glad this one is working. I genuinely like it more than the iPhone and I save several hundred dollars.
If anyone's googling in a similar situation.. what I did the 2nd time through was use recovery mode on the phone to restore factory default and clear the cache. Then I did all the steps outlined in the above link again. I think that if it doesn't work the first time it's worth doing it again carefully.. and maybe a third time if needed. Wow. It works XD.

Awesome! Glad you figured it out. Sorry I wasn't around to help you through it. I was out and about this evening.
Thanks for the beer, I appreciate it!
Ok guys, I'm in deep trouble here. Kind of extremely desperate.
Please bare with my wall of text!
So I had just backed up my ROM, copied over the previous nandroid over to my computer and deleted it to make space for the new one. Made the new one, copied over the kernel I wanted to flash. Rebooted into recovery and simply flashed the kernel. That's where the screw-up started.
Wiped my cache and rebooted to a flashing purple and blue screen. Turned my phone off immediately and went to restore the backup I had just made. Not even midway through, I got "error while restoring /system". Nandroid is apparently no good?!
Now, I don't have anything on my SD to flash, not even a clean CM, another backup, nothing. I can only boot to recovery, if I try to reboot, I just get the google logo, then it goes off and back on, and so on. If I connect the phone to my PC, it obviously isn't detecting it.
I need a way to push or copy another nandroid backup or just a ROM over to my SD to flash something! I can't have bricked my phone!
Not too familiar with adb commands, haven't used them in ages!
I appreciate any help you can give me!!

If you're talking about this one, reading the thread right now. About to download the windows version and try to flash stock and unroot, then root again.

As far as losing root, you shouldn't lose it, and there's no reason to believe that you might have already lost it, but if you are planning on flashing stock and unrooting then it wouldn't matter anyway.

I'm stuck!!!
I tried flashing stock and unrooting, but I had issues with what it said could be either my drives not being installed, or my USB Debugging not being enabled. I don't think I ever enabled USB debugging after this last time I flashed CM. I tried going through full driver installation, but I still hit the same wall with USB debugging not being enabled!!
What should/can I do?
Boot into recovery and connect your USB cable on it. Download an ADB standalone and place the files you want to transfer there, open it and type:
adb push (local of the rom/kernel/wharever) (path to sd/internal storage). it would be something like that
adb push rom.zip /sdcard/0/
this will transfer the file to the root of the internal storage.

I waited for over 5 minutes, turned it off, and tried booting it up. After another 3 minutes of nothing, I gave up.
Tried sideloading an old backup but wasn't able to sideload anymore..
Currently trying to do the driver things in the toolkit..
I may have screwed this up even more.
While doing Step 1, I again couldn't do the whole USB Debugging enable/disable, so I just went and did everything else that I could. Step 2 installed, Step 3 couldn't recognize my phone, just went back to Google bootloop.
I don't think I can even try sideloading stuff anymore.

EDIT:
Ok, sideloading CM again. Currently at 70%. I'll keep you guys posted.
Sorry to post 4 times in a row, but still stuck in the CM bootloop.
Is there anything better I should try sideloading? Maybe a factory image?
Something that would completely restore everything?
Sorry to post 5 (FIVE) times in a row!
FIXED IT! **** YES! I was running out of time too, have to wake up in four hours for work, hahahah.
I really don't know what happened this time. Tried running the Flash Stock + Unroot again, and it went through!
Going to enjoy stock for a while, this scared me way more than my previous adventures with rooting have, and I'm not entirely (but mostly) new to this!
Thank you so much for your help man, couldn't have done it without some support. Really feel indebt to the guy that made the toolkit, though. Thanks all around!

Really pisses me off that it was this simple.
Turn on your phone into bootloader
Leave it on bootloader until the battery drains 100%
You can tell it is drained when the phone looks like it is bricked and when you plug it in a red light shows on the notification light
Let it charge for ten minutes
Boot the phone
It should boot. Yeah. Seriously.
It looks like a battery fault of some sort. Welcome

Did you try to wipe Dalvik Cache & Cache in recovery after flashing back to stock?
If the above doesn't work then do this:
Boot into recovery(go to bootloader(vol. down+power) and select recovery). Use "adb pull /sdcard/the_folder_goes_here/and_so_on.jpg" to pull whatever you want to backup(pics, music etc) and flash stock ROM from Google https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occam
It's the best way.

Well yeah, but flashing the stock rom just left me with a bootloop, just with those 4 rings..
boot into recovery, see if your computer detect your phone as android device, try use minimal adb and fastboot, it happen to me once, and success to fix it. if it cant fix it, try use nexus root toolkit, the tools here on xda nexus 4 forum. choose back to stock, and dont forget to choose current status as soft-bricked/bootloop. let me know how it goes.. we'll figure it out

I have the same issue where no matter which factory ROM i install using soft bricked option, or fastboot my Google Nexus 4 will not get past the black screen with the four circular colours which come together to form a white circle then repeat.

Gday again, just curious as to how you went with going back to android 4.2.2. Is your phone back in action? I was stoked when mine worked again, even though it took me 12 hrs to make it happen lol.

I fixed it, and had it fixed for maybe 4 months, but now it is back in a bootloop. What i did to fix it the first time beats me, i just randomly flashed 4.4 roms, and it booted once. I used adb sideload for some stuff, but i am gonna keep trying.
