There's a modified boot.img? I don't think so... To root, all you need is a custom recovery. I also wouldn't use the toolkit. At this step, it's just as easy to do it manually. Just type in with your device in fastboot and connected to a PC: "fastboot flash recovery name of recovery.img"

TWRP .img
CWM .img
Choose whichever one you want.
Thanks and all I have to do is pull up cmd then fast boot and type the name of the recovery?

Then boot into recovery and flash the SU.zip.

Just try them yourself and see. I personally like Trinity Four (latest releases have dark PA colors. To get nice/normal colors flash TF92G) and FrankenKernel.

All you need is here

download the correct image for your phone, rename it to update.zip, put it in the SD card and from fastboot (Volume up+power) flash it
Edit. u need unlocked bootloader:

Fair enough, but I couldn't find an equally comprehensive guide with TWRP, and I'm not sure if TWRP automatically corrects for the "stock rom wants to overwrite recovery" issue.
His version is 6.0.0.6 (step 12).
You fail at tittles!!!! Nexus 7 could mean anything. Please no one help the OP till he fixes the tittle.

Do you have adb fast boot setup? If so, download the official Google stock images and flash them individually in fastboot

You can also download the nexus 7 toolkit here at xda. Its free and its awesome IMO. I soft bricked my nex7 once and fixed it good as new with the tool kit. Just follow the instructions for flashing back to stock. You can even do so without loosing root. Or you can unroot and re lock the boot loader if you like. Heres the link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809195

The problem with using a toolkit is you learn nothing. If something were to happen again and the toolkit can't fix it, your're screwed.
Taking the time to learn fastboot commands will help get you out of pretty much any issue. If you want a longer explanation as to why I prefer people to use fastboot read here.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1469909
I tryed both methods and wasnt successful i still can enter fastboot but am not that great with these sort of stuff is their a way for me to directly flash a rom from my pc to the tablet without me actually doing it with the tablet ... or a way for me to put the rom in the tablet because i am stuck and i cant put anything in the tablet

I flash a new rom yesterday for my nexus 4. Unfortunately, it was stuck in the custom rom logo.
I want to fix it via recovery mode. Sadly, my volume key was broken:crying:
Does anybody knows how can I boot my nexus 4 without using volume key? (it was stuck in the custom rom logo.)
Is it an other way that is possible to fix my phone?
And don't pick on my english, I know that is poor:angel:

I wonder if he made a nandroid. However if your volume Kris are broken obviously you'd want to fix that.

Odin is for Samsung, not gonna work on nexus. Why not just flash stock images via fastboot, then lock, unlock, lock bootloader. That's what I did when I broke the screen on my first n4.

Yea, just flash factory image via fastboot. That'll erase everything and return it to completely brand new like state when powered on.
