So I rooted my nexus 7 and intended on flashing cm on it by rom manager. I used the root without unlocking boot loader. It doesn't get past the cyanogen boot circle and when it does occasionally, It displays 2 error messages that say "the setup wizard has stopped" and "unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped." Somebody please help I have no idea what to do. I tried wiping data by going to recovery mode but nothing changes. HELP.
Need more information... What recovery do you have? What are the step you did in recovery for install the rom? What version of gapps did you flashed?

I think I have the clockworkmod recovery. Didnt do that and didnt flash gapps
If you want to flash cm 10.1 :
recovery> factory reset, format system (optional), flash rom, flash gapps 20130301, reboot.
How would I flash the rom and gapps 20130301? Sorry I'm a bit new to this stuff.
Have you read OP of cm thread?
I don't have access to the sd card so I cant put anything
Without unlocking bootloader you want flash cyanogenmod?:<facepalm>
Unlock bootloader and then flash custom rom!

You don't need it... But it really helps if you want to fastboot flash something.
All you need to do is a factory reset from recovery.

So i unlocked the bootloader and i did a factory reset and it still gets stuck at the boot circle. Then it displays the two messages "unfortunately, setup wizard has stopped" and the other one. No change at all other then a lock at the bottom of the screen when the google logo comes up.
Install the Nexus 7 factory image instead of flash to a different custom ROM. Then I recommend getting MultiRom so you have your stock ROM to fall back on when experimenting for exact situations like this.
OMG got it thanks for all the help

This isn't my first android root but I'm stuck. I followed the video for rooting my Nexus 10. Got stuck in a boot loop but was able to flash cwm but still in boot loop. I tried doing the factory reset and now cwm is gone too and still stuck in boot loop. Do I need to reflash the stock recovery and if so where do I find that to download?
flash tbe cwm recovery again via fastboot, transfer your custom rom of choice from your desktop to your device, wipe data (factory reset), then flash that rom via cwm. btw, this is a galaxy nexus forums

and the recovery flashed fine? did you "fastboot devices" to make sure fastboot can see your device? sometimes these recoveries need to ne flashed a few times before they take. try flashing it two or three times in a rom. did you try twrp recovery? you might like that recovery better.
op, rename/delete /system/recovery-from-boot.p and reflash your custom recovery;
RANT: GOD DAMN IT, WHERE'S MY NEXUS 10!!!??? BEEN WAITING FOR 2 GODAMN MONTHS! - Sorry, it's just that I've been going through some **** to get my hands on one - AND THERE'S PEOPLE WHO'S GOT 2!!!
FOLLOWUP:
I ran MSkip toolkit and it repaired everything. I got a failed on renaming my recovery images so my stock recovery images are just gone I guess? Anyway I'm good. Rooted and repaired thanks to Skips toolkit.
Thanks for all the help!
-------------
It appears to be flashing fine and yes it sees my device. I tried multiple reflashing this am and still no joy.
I reposted in the right place and got some help but not done yet. I think mod might delete this thread since I have the other one going.

Hello,
I am trying to install a custom ROM, but none are working. I install it using TWRP and it boots, but it gets stuck at the splash screen for the ROM. I've tried both ParanoidAndroid and CM10.1 and its the same with both of them. It does boot when I go back to stock though. I've tried reinstalling, I've tried using both TWRP and CWM, I've even re locked and unlocked the bootloader. If you have any idea what I can do please let me know.
What steps are you taking to flash the ROM.. Are you fully wiping?

you need a factory reset for the first flash. you cant just install.

Make sure you do a full wipe before flashing the rom and if your installing paranoid make sure you use the Gapps ..
I have a 2012 Nexus 7. At the time it had a locked bootloader but it was rooted with cm11 & TWRP on board. I downloaded the Nexus toolkit & tried to upgrade to lollipop when it was officially released. Somewhere along the line, I think the system partition got corrupted. I can manually flash all IMG files except system. I can get into bootloader & recovery. I even tried flashing TWRP again to reflash cm. TWRP took but cm failed to install. Anyone else have this issue? The tablet appears to boot but it just gets stuck at the Google screen with the lock at the bottom. Never goes past that point. Any help to revive this tablet would be much appreciated.

Can you enter recovery or fastboot mode? If so, use either to attempt and repair (format) the system partition, then reflash the ROM of your choice.

In Twrp recovery,
1. go to wipe menu and advanced wipe.
2. select system partition then tap repair.
3.Flash your rom

Ok so that worked to flash cm but will this continue to happen if I try flashing the official lollipop update? I'm trying to return to stock so I can give the tablet to my nephew. I don't want him jumping into recovery or bootloader & wrecking it for good
I decided today to try and root my phone and followed the steps on this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/nexus-4-guide-unlock-bootloader-root-t2266654
I had unlocked my phone and installed the latest version of TWRP. Now I can only boot into TWRP and bootloader. My phone is not being picked up by my PC. I tried a factory reset and format of data on TWRP but my phone still only boots into TWRP.
Is my phone permanently bricked?
Any help will be greatly appreciated
I actually have just made some progress now. I've managed to get the phone connected to the computer by going into ADB sideload and installing the ADB drivers again on my computer.
Typing ADB devices in CMD now shows my device as connected.
Any advice on what I should do now?
What happens when you try to boot it normally? Is it stuck at the boot animation or does it go directly to the bootloader or recovery? Since you already had to wipe everything you could try flashing a factory image via fastboot.

Booting the phone normally loads it into TWRP. Booting the phone with the volume key pressed down loads the bootloader. I think I may have just wiped the OS present on the Phone.
I want my phone to be rooted running CyanogenMOD (phone is currently unrooted). Should I first install a stock rom then root by installing SuperSU and CyanogenMOD or can I just skip installing a stock rom and install SuperSU and CyanogenMOD?
Thanks for the help
You could try flashing a cyanogenmod zip from TWRP, and if that doesn't work I would suggest flashing I factory image.

But my phone is not rooted yet. Can I install SuperSU by copying onto my phone and installing it through TWRP?

Yes, if it is a zip file. But I'm pretty sure installing cyanogenmod will automatically root it for you.

I installed SuperSU then CyanogenMOD and lastly GApps. It still only boots into TWRP and it doesn't look like there has been any files added to the phone's storage. Should I first flash a stock rom and then try to install CyanogenMOD?

Yes, try flashing a factory image. If it boots then you could try flashing cyanogenmod.

@hwweiler, No friend there is no other way.Please before do this as is one direction way take the pain to look on my post #180 on zaclmon's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/orig-development/wip-aosp-7-0-nougat-t3448444/page18 and keep in mind that is impossible to return back on any nandroid backup u kept e.g to 5.1.1 or M furthermore its also impossible to flash any rom zip if u use this N (WIP) rom,the only way to have a workable phone again is to flash the stock rom from scratch.Exceperienced with and never again untill we have the appropriate solution..The twrp used and i still use on M is TWRP 3.0.2.0.The possibility to return on LP ffrom M and reverse still exists but not when u flash this rom.

So my title wouldve been longer if I could have allowed it but basically this is what happened
I tried to flash the latest ParanoidAndroid but it got stuck on the boot logo for about 45 minutes. Probably because I was on f2fs and forgot to flash a kernel.
After getting a red font message in TWRP saying /system could not be mounted/found, I did a full format of my phone and flashed a different custom ROM, which got me stuck at the white font screen that just says Google and shows the unlock symbol on the b ottom.
Using the toolkit I flashed stock which worked, as well as manually flashing TWRP through fastboot.
I then did a full wipe like normal when switching ROMs and tried to flash Nitrogen ROM which once again lead me to the white font Google screen.
What should I do exactly so I can flash a custom ROM again, because currently the only thing that is working is stock ROM.

I'd suggest trying to format data, in Twrp in the wipe section should be a button on the bottom end that says Format data, Erase it Flash all from a stock image and reinstall twrp.

Are you referring to the same format data that makes you type in "yes" before doing it? I did that too but I didnt try to re-install TWRP.
And currently after the wipe im on stock recovery so I'm going to go back to The Flashs TWRP that he made as opposed to the latest version of TWRP that prompts for an app install at the end. As I never had this issue on Flashs TWRP
Thanks for the suggestion.

Ok installing the TWRP after a format didnt do **** unfortunately. Still bootlooping.
Flash stock image via fastboot with flash all, check OEM unlock to dev options, lock and unlock the bootloader to completely wipe your phone. Don't forget checking dev options for OEM unlock between lock and unlocking. flash latest official twrp and try custom rom again.
