I tried installing the 4.2.2 OTA update on my unlocked and rooted Nexus 7 (no mods or anything). I have CWM 5.8. The update failed, so I rebooted and everything seemed normal (I am still on 4.2.1). Then, I went to the Play Store and tried to install some new app updates. As soon as I clicked the "Update" button, Play Store force closed, and continues to do so no matter how many times I clear cache/data from both Google Play Store and Play Store Services. I flashed the /system from a Nandroid backup of 4.2.1 but the problem still persists. I also tried reinstalling the Play Store apk but to no avail.
Any ideas?
Save your data on pc, cloud, etc. and flash factory image, if you want to stay stock. There is also a 4.2.2 stock-ish ROM in the development section, it's deodexed, and rooted, so you don't have to do that manually. To flash factory image, I recommend using one of those toolkits from the development section.

I was going to try flashing the factory image, so I downloaded the .tgz file, but the Android Toolkit app kept giving me an error, saying that the device was offline. My Nexus 7 connects fine to my Windows 7 PC, but it doesn't seem to connect in ADB mode and I have no clue why. USB debugging is enabled, but I cannot get it to connect in ADB mode.

Hoping someone can help me. I had CM 10.1 installed. Decided I wanted to try KTManta kernel. But I can't get my tablet back to a clean 4.2.1 state.
First I tried restoring the nandroid backup I had created via Nexus 10 Toolkit prior to installing CM. Looked like it was doing something, but then went back to the main menu. Tried doing it manually on tablet. CWM couldnt find any files on my tablet via CWM to restore. Tried pushing the files from computer to tablet in the CWM backup directory. CWM didn't like them. They were unzipped. Maybe that's why? Maybe I can try making a tar file next.
So then I went about reverting back to stock, first using Nexus 10 Toolkit. Unrooted, restored stock recovery, relocked bootloader, etc. That all went fine. Got the notice for an OTA update. That's where things stop going fine. No matter what I try, I cannot get it to install. I either get the red exclamation mark android on his back or my tablet just crashes entirely and I have to reflash factory image from fastboot with the toolkit to get it to boot up.
I also tried WugFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit. Not much luck there, can't even flash factory image. When i try to let it auto download it gives me a hash mismatch error. When I try to install it manually, it fails. Gave up, went back to Nexus 10 Toolkit.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.
Trying to sideload the 4.2.1 update via stock recovery fails: set_perm: some changes failed. Installation aborted.
cwm still can't see the nandroid i made via nexus 10 toolkit.
heeeelpppp. how the hell do i get 4.2.1 back on my tablet?
NM, got it installed thanks to six_dfx's post here:

If you had a backup 4.2 Factory Image, you may have an older, broken one. Google updated the 4.2 factory image on their site, which should work fine.
i flashed a custom rom on my nexus 7, it woked fine except installing the gapps
i used goomanager to downloaded latest gapps but it downloaded the one for 4.1.1 and i have 4.2.1, so when i boot the device i got an error

i managed to load the stock img using the tool kit, the problem was the adb drives, but i managed to install them
now i installed paranoid 2.99,it works fine but when i try to open the play store it doesnt do anything
Please help! I have something real funky going on. Anytime I flash a new ROM in latest 2.4.3.0 twrp, it says I lost root and asks to restore. But I really don't, even if I click do not fix, I have supersu when I boot. But then a notification pops up on first boot saying play services error! And the google play store doesnt get installed.. Doesnt matter what gapps i use, gplay never gets installed. So luckily I have a TiBu update zip that I made of all my apps, so I go back into twrp, flash it, reboot, go into es file explorer to install play store, but it keeps force closing, so I reboot and that fixes the problem. So it gets worse, once I update all my apps thru gplay, like update supersu, once I reboot, I lose all the updates and have to redo them! And supersu will ask for su access to the same apps over and over again each time I reboot. I have no idea what's going on, can anyone help?
IDL about that but twrp will not restore data from any of my backups even when the archive shows 2+GB backed up, fails to restore

Your issue with losing root so to speak may come from superuser. Go to setting in the su app and go to settings, reinstall and download supersu from play store
I had the same thibg haooen a out loosing root access and that fixed it
As for your errors and force closes...what kernal are you running?

Hi,
My nexus 4 was perfectly running the 4.4 kitkat when all of a sudden I received an OTA for build KRT16S. After the installation my phone didn't boot up and it's been stuck on google page ever since.
Details:
Rooted
twrp recovery 2.6.3.3
ART runtime
Encrypted.
My phone restarted straight into twrp, I typed the encryp. password and it started to install the new update automatically and it said successful.
I restart and it gets stuck on google page.
Please help guys
Many Thanks
You probably have too many customizations and especially running custom recovery. OTA is meant for stock Android.
Do a factory reset in TWRP and see if it boot. Otherwise search for a stock KRT16S rom in the development section, and use the TWRP sideload feature to install it.

Thanks eksasol, I had the stock Android installed on this nexus and I got the ROM straight from google.
I will try doing a factory reset or installing the ROM from sideload. but would any of these erase my data?

Doing factory reset in TWRP won't wipe your internal storage, but it will clear your installed apps and its data ofcourse. Just don't select to wipe internal storage in the advance wipe. Installing rom zips will not wipe your data either.
If you want to backup everything from your internal storage, just connect the phone while in TWRP, then type: adb pull /data/media/ C:\backup\
I wiped and installed a fresh copy at the end and its working now.
Thanks eksasol for your help.
How do i mark this thread as resolved?

Just edit your thread title and write SOLVED before the title.
I searched for my particular issue and haven't found a solution that works yet so here goes. any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.
I've painted myself into corners before tinkering with this phone and always found a way out but this time I'm stumped.
HOW I BROKE MY PHONE:
1) had latest CM 11 nightly installed but wanted to try the OTA.
2) In TWRP I restored a back up of my stock rooted software.
3) Unfroze bloat in titanium back up.
4) Checked on phone for OTA, received notification, and began download
5) On completion of download I initiated the update.
6) It booted to recovery (TWRP) and every time I rebooted, or started the phone from powered down it always goes into TWRP.
7) I attempted a factory reset and restoration of my stock back up- same result. It booted straight into recovery.
8) I factory reset and installed cm11 fresh from the SD card- same result
9) Here's my real screw up: since neither installing a fresh ROM or restoring my stock recovery weren't working I went for the nuclear option, I decided to format everything and use the LG Flash tool to get this puppy back up and running.
10) Only to discover I can't get into Download mode and while the G2 is "seen" by my PC it's listed under "other devices."
Dear kind and wise individual who's read my tale of woe. What might my next step be? I've considered attempting to sideload a ROM with TWRP in sideload mode, but I'm afraid I'd just have the same result as when I tried reinstalling CM11 from the SD card.
