Nexus 7 32gb need help!

I just got nexus 7, I updated it to 4.2.1 then used toolkit and I accidentally used the version for 16gb or 8 and didn't notice 32gb down on the bottom. I then did the all in one and it was telling me to use the older boot loader version. After doing all Idk what's happening. Its not holding CWM I have to keep flashing it on to work and Idk how to unbrick it because I'm boot looping.. I wonder if flashing a ROM may help but I'm not sure witch section my nexus 7 is supposed to be in. I have nexus 7 32gb no 3g.
Please help me! Thanks.
Also I'm not a noob.

Try wugs tool to return to stock firmware. Then just run the right version. If recovery doesn't stick with his tool then use twrp. That recovery will stick. Then you can use the flashable zip from Dev section for cwm touch.

I think flashing any ROM will fix this problem. Is android development the correct section for my nexus 7? I had tried flashing a WiFi+3g kernel witch also gave me bootloop

It can be used to install stock as well as root.
Also android Dev is the right section but there are a few different variants of the nexus 7. People have had issues with certain things even if they are meant for their device.

Can you not into recovery? If not maybe adb a custom recovery then adb a rom and not into recovery?
BTW this should be in the Q&A forum

thanks for your reply, i can get into recovery, and i reflash recovery using nexus 4 toolkits too. but when i go into recovery it still "couldn't open directory" , anything wrong of it?
I have used the info from the site below in the past. It was written for the nexus 7, so make sure that you grab and flash the nexus 4 files instead of the nexus 7 files.
Like I said, this has worked for me but use at your own risk. This will completely wipe out the phone and return you to stock.

Why go so far away to return to stock, we have some great guides here? Check efrant's guide in the link in my signature.

How to go back to stock?

I want to go back to stock image how do I do that can I only flash Tue stock image anything else needs to be done?

Did you create a Nandroid backup with either ClockworkMod Recovery or TWRP? This would be the easiest and fastest way to do it. If not, efrant wrote an awesome guide for returning the Nexus 4 back to stock

You don't flash factory images with recovery, you use fastboot.

It's all in the link that Acuity posted, just read it step by step and you'll end up back to stock.

Question on returning to stock

Hello wonderful XDA Peoples. I am planning on returning my Nexus 4 in the near future as part of T-Mobile Jump. I'm currently on a stock ROM; but unlocked with CWM recovery installed.
To return to stock, would I need to fastboot the entire stalk image (via flash all.bat) or would I just need to flash the stock recovery image, then relock the boot loader? Thanks guys! Keep up the absolutely spectacular work.

You could just flash the recovery.img and then re-lock it

on the nexus 4 rom,kernel .... index there is a stock recovery flasher, if you dont wanna use the pc
if you have root you can lock bootloader via an app
or else just via pc.
n-cry toolkit
With n-cry toolkit is posbly.

So, just flash the stock recovery image and then lock it? In that order? Thanks for the reply

[Q] Stuck at Bootloop[Urgent]

Hey fellas!
I am actually a N5 owner and using it without rooting it for past 6 months and pretty happy with that.Before N5 i had Galaxy S3 on which i tried a lot of things and learned about rooting,flashing..etc.
Now i have my friends N4 which always stuck at bootloop after update(that's what my friend told me) i tried clearing cache,factory reset from the stock recovery but all in vain.I have no drivers installed in my lappy just for info.
So, what info i have?
in recovery it is showing build no - KRT16S
Bootloader ver - MAK0Z30d
Baseband ver - M9615A-CEFWMAZM-2.0.1700.97
Secure Boot - enabled
Lock State - locked
What can i do?
U tell me!
Flash factory image, latest one
Update your recovery and try flashing again.
Maybe unlock the bootloader and flash the factory image with a toolkit

Flash the factor image with a tool kit? Why would you need that. Just flash it in fastboot.

To make all easier, not everyone knows how to flash images via fastboot. Both ways takes you to the same place.
