Hello, as some of you may know I currently use a computer on which I dont have admin rights, so to flash a factory image, I wanted to use 7-zip portable edition, but it is a .exe file so I cant install it on my phone. What do I have to do?
And when I use this to extract factory images, I just have to place the neccesary files on my computer and flash them in fastboot?

Use ZArchiver, it extracts most files.

On my computer or phone? I am actually thinking why I cant just use winzip or something, because it extracts the files as well right? As long as you get the necessary images out of it you're good to go, not?

This one?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.zdevs.zarchiver
So then I can extract factory images on my phone, transfer the images I need to my pc and I can fastboot flash a new android version?

Does anyone have a flashable ZIP for the new 4.2.2 bootloader?

Flash it through fastboot
Fastboot seems a bit dicey for my tastes. Is there a flashable zip for this anywhere?

Why update it?
The flashable zip can be found in the nexus 7 android development section and it's always a good idea to run the newest bootloader

Dicey? It's super easy! No risk at all. I just learned how to do it a few minutes ago and I was pretty impressed. Now I can use it to unlock devices without using toolkits anymore! When you have the time, you should learn it and give it a try. It's nice to learn new things.
I upgraded to 4.2.2 today and realized I can't root it now I been trying all day so I give up where can I get the 4.2.1 image cuz then I can root in like 2 min

If your using windows use a toolkit. By the way, before you ask a question on here search online all you can and use this as a last resort.

If you have to rely on a toolkit, you shouldnt be modding ANY device.
Then guide doesn't say that tho I'm using the [[REF]] all in one nexus 7 jelly bean android development thread then go down to guides and tools click on unlock and root a nexus 7 I'm using that guide

really?
path-to-img/CWM-grouper-recovery.img really doesnt make you wonder where that file is?
put the recovery.img file in the same folder as your fastboot.exe
run the command
fastboot flash recovery NAMEOFRECOVERY.img <<this should be the ACTUAL name of the recovery filled in by you, whatever it is named.
ALSO
remember earlier when i told you to update the adb and fastboot files? (SDK) did you actually do that?
this stuff isnt rocket science, and if you dont have basic computer knowledge, you shouldnt be doing ANY modding of your device....this is ridiculous

Do a search in the thread for 'r171' and you should find it. If it's provided in .img , you can use fastboot to flash it. (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
Another method is to take any other Franco.kernel zip and replace the boot.img inside using an archive manager on your pc. Then just flash the modified zip in recovery.

If its an img file you need to use fastboot. Twrp will only flash files that are packaged in the correct manner.
Having a bit of bother getting my nexus up and running again. Pulled my phone out my pocket and it was turned off. Powered it on but it wouldn't get past Google screen. No twrp recovery. Nothing. So done the usual and get nexus toolkit out. Re locked and unlocked bootloader. Downloaded stock 4.2.2 flashed it but still stuck at Google screen. Can get in to fast boot but that's it.
Any help appreciated because I'm not sure what to do next
Cheers

Try going into fastboot, and flashing stock with the official firmware from google (Type Nexus stock on Google). If you want to, you can even replace the recovery.img inside the zip for a custom recovery

Been installing stock from fastboot but can't get into recovery to wipe it so that it will boot.
What program can I use to compress tgz files. I've changed the recovery to twrp but not sure how to pack it up again

If you know how to use the ADB and the fastboot command, that is the way to go. It is by far the best way to go. Use one of the guides on this website, don't have the direct link but look for efrants guide for returning back to stock. Search isn't working now
