It does everything, though I have only used it to return to stock. Please read all instructions (there are a few)

Thanks.
Can someone give me the command to push a file to my N7 sd card in fast boot mode?
flash /sd card [c:update.zip}
Am I close?

I used WUG's tookit to unlock and root, but I don't completely understand how to copy the stock image to my N7 and flash it.
All I have access to is the fastboot mode on the N7
Any help will be good. I really want my N7 back.
Thanks.

It is easy. Just click flash to stock + unroot check device can't boot (use recovery to turn your nexus off) then follow directions. It will flash for you
It will either download the image for you or you can choose an image you already have

As that's what you've recommended, I'll just try and do it that way. Hopefully this works, the person who is selling it to me says that his friend rooted the phone for him but he can't put it back for me but his offering a good price about £200. So I'll buy it and use this fastboot with the Factory Image "occam" for Nexus 4 4.2.2 (JDQ39) and hopfully, it should be back to normal again. I want the phones software to be just as it came out of the box. Will I need to do anything else?
Also, could you explain to me what the 'radio' is please? Never heard of this, I suppose the 'flash' is the image that I download from here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images, then what is 'radio?
5) Flash the bootloader: fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-mako-makoz10o.img (or whatever the name of the bootloader image that you downloaded).
7) Flash the radio: fastboot flash radio radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.48.img (or whatever the name is of the radio image that you downloaded).

Once you unzip all the .zips in the factory image that you download you will see all the .IMG files. You will have system.img, radio.img, userdata.img and your boot.img and bootloader.img. Just do exactly what the instructions say and you will see that it is very easy. And its better to learn how to do this on your own and not use a tool kit.

Thanks mate, I'll try and take extra care and read n follow carefully, don't want to mess up here. After I have unrooted my Nexus 4, what else will I need to do to make as if it came out of the new box in terms of software ect..?

You will probably have to re install the google applications you would like; but besides those you will not need to install any additional software/apps.

Any idea which Google applications these maybe?
Chrome hopefully comes preinstalled after this unrooting process, I'm assuming the same with Google Now. It's just a case of unrooting and using the image from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occam then locking the bootloader?
Does anyone know why there is only 1 image for this phone? Usually you have many others for all networks, like T-Mobile UK ect..

After you flash the factory image, the phone will be just as it would be if you bought it from Google play. All of the Google apps will be on the phone at start up.
Once you are finished flashing the phone back to stock, reboot back into the bootloader and type, "fastboot oem lock" to re-lock the bootloader. There really is no reason to relock the bootloader. As long as you have the stock recovery, you will receive ota updates from Google.

The last part confused me, as long as I have the 'stock recovery'? That means as long as I have flashed to the factory image downloaded from Google I will receive updates from Google?
Are there any advantages/disadvantages in performance and other things from locking/not locking the bootloader? I will be keeping the original software and won't be installing custom roms ect.. just installing updates for android from Google and that's it.

The only thing is that if one day you decide that you want to root, you will have to re-unlock the bootloader and this will wipe all data on your phone. But if you never plan to root then you can lock it

And when the phone comes brand new from Google, the bootloader comes locked, right? I think I might just lock it, I will need to wipe this phone anyway.

Yes, when you get the phone new the bootloader is locked. There will be no performance loss or gain from having the bootloader locked or unlocked.
Do you have fast boot and adb set up on your computer?

[Q] Stock Recovery

Why can't I seem to find the stock recovery .img file for this device? I have searched hi and low. Can anyone help a brother out?

Here are the Nexus factory images https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasi
Be careful to choose the proper N7 version (2012/13, Wi-Fi/Mobile).

Hi, satur9ine...
You don't specify which Nexus 7 (2012) model you have... the WiFi only model, or the WiFi & 3G model.
Reason being, is I always keep a copy of the stock recovery close to hand... but it's extracted from the factory image intended for the WiFi only model... and I'm not sure it would work correctly if flashed on a WiFi & 3G Nexus 7.
Anyway, here is my copy of the stock recovery from Jellybean 4.3 (build JWR66Y) for the WiFi only Nexus 7.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/37483979/recovery_img_nakasi_jwr66v-y_grouper.zip
Download to your PC, and unzip the recovery. img file inside.
Fastboot flash it with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.
As I've said... this stock recovery was extracted from the Jellybean 4.3 factory image designed for the WiFi only Nexus 7... so if you have the WiFi & 3G model, I would suggest you download the Jellybean 4.3 factory image for your device, as advised by Erovia, and extract the stock recovery accordingly.
Hope this helps.
Rgrds,
Ged.

Edit: Thank you above poster!
I don't want to do a factory restore, though. I just want to flash the stock recovery via fastboot.

That's exactly what that is. It will not factory reset your device. Just be sure you are using it on the right Nexus 7 and version as mentioned.

Going from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2

Hi there, I'm currently rooted with 4.2.2 and I want to upgrade to the latest which I believe is 4.4.2, after a brief check I don't see the toolkits supporting this so can someone give me a clue on what to do? Is it upgrade to 4.3 then 4.4 and finally 4.4.2 or can I just jump from my current to 4.4.2?

If your on stock ROM and kernel and recovery just check for updates under about tablet system updates. If your running a custom ROM or kernel then you'll want to get to stock first. Also you can just download the factory image and adb flash it. Just search how to install 4.4,2 factory image with adb on nexus 10. There's plenty of guides.

I want to remain rooted though, also I'm trying to use the system update but it says restarting in 10, counts down then doesn't restart.
Since I want to remain rooted but just upgrade to 4.4.2 what can I do? I can't find an appropriate video.

Just update and root again. It takes a minute using one of the toolkits. Or you can just flash the super su zip which is even quicker if you have a custom recovery. Either way it's easy and quick

I can't use system updates, it won't restart after counting down from 10 it just hangs there. I also don't think the toolkits have 4.4.2, I'm pretty sure I downloaded the right files, I just don't know the commands to use in CMD.

Wugs toolkit has it.
Extract it and put it in the correct folder with Fastboot capabilities and use the commands
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (this'll give you stock recovery)
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img (only do this one if you want to completely reset and delete everything on your internal SD card. Don't do this step of you want to keep your files like pictures and music on SD card)
Sent from my white LG Nexus 5

Okay, going to try Wugs. Ah, I'm mistaken then, I just have the factory image and update superSU zip files.
See this is what I don't get, it asks me my build, which is 4.2.2. And then asks to download the image, but I want 4.4.2 so do o just change it to that?

Yeah. Choose 4.4.2. Asking your build is just so when you flash kernnel and recoveries it flashes a compatible one. But since your just flashing stock images. Just do that. But again remember it'll wipe everything so backup your SD card to a computer first

I managed to get to the point where it boots TWRP and then just had "waiting for device"
Edit: got to this same point 3 times now, tried rebooting but I'm still on 4.2.2, could you tell me what files I need to go ahead and flash it using cmd?
Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda app-developers app

If you use Wigs toolkit you can flash the new update if you do a complete restore with in root. Then you can re root. Just go to flash stock + unroot then click the images drop down down box. Pick the mantaray-manta : android 4.4.4- build KOT49H then click the button that shows automatically download. After install re root and restore. Backup everything first it makes a quicker restore.

First, go download the image:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
While that is downloading, make a new folder on the desktop and name it FLASH, also for extracting the file once it is downloaded I reccomend total commander:
http://www.ghisler.com/download.htm
Also head over to here to download adb and fastboot without the android sdk:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1MWexkzYR_bV2VlaF9UcHVBU00/edit?usp=docslist_api
Once the zip file with adb and fastboot is downloaded extract the files into the FLASH folder. Now that we've done all this the image should be downloaded, extract the contents to the FLASH folder. Now open up command prompt. In command prompt type the following(excluding the quotation marks):
"cd C:\Users\*username*\Desktop\FLASH"
*username* Is the name of the user. Now turn off your device then boot your device into fastboot mode(hold the power+volume up+volume down buttons) once your device is in fastboot mode connect it to your computer. In command prompt type(again excluding quotations):
"fastboot devices"
After that you should see your nexus device in fastboot mode, if you have no important data and don't care about losing everything(me) you can just type this in command prompt(no quotations):
"flash-all"
But if that does not work or you do have important things, type:
"fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img”

The factory image is not a flashable zip. You'll need to either flash it via fastboot or you can use Wugs toolkit. Just Google "flash factory image Nexus 7", you should be a able to find a tutorial.
