it stops at the google screen and just freezes

How are you certain your recovery is gone? You might just be stuck in bootloop. Your best bet is to use toolkit to get you into recovery. Whether Twrp or CWM. From there youcan flash a new kernel and see if it fixes it or use it to restore a backup.
I had similar issue where it was stuck on boot screen. I ccouldn't enter recovery normally. Only way was hooking it up to a pc. Then using a toolkit to make the tablet go into recovery. Then from there, I could use recovery on tablet itself and restore a backup. From there I was good again. Problem solved for me.
Try one of the other toolkits, like Sambra one. Make sure drivers properly installed though.

It's an easy fix, just use wug's toolkit and flash the stock Nexus 7 image. It will be like brand new. I don't think you had a very major problem at all to begin with just a minor bootloop, but this far along I'd restore it to stock and start fresh.

[Q] Can't get into recovery, no matter what I do... (Rooted, running rom...)

Ok, I just started experiencing an issue. I suddenly can't get into recovery. Here is a little back history. My N7 was running CNA 3.6.6 (I know, but...), and I was bored so I decided to try ParanoidAndroid. Well, I have that gotta try something else feeling again, and when I try to get into recovery, it will go to the google screen, then go black for about 10 seconds, then go back to the Google screen and boot up. This happens if I reboot to recovery through the power menu, or getting into recovery from the bootloader. I even tried Quick Boot, in hopes it had some magic I didn't. No luck. The same crap. I even switched from TWRP to clockwork recoveries, and the same crap happens (I tried the same things I did originally).
Also tried through other apps too, like Rom Manager, Rom Toolbox, and TiBu. Everything works, but I am bored with this rom... I have tried turning it off, plugging the N7 into a PC and trying to get into recovery. Again, I can get into the bootloader, but as soon as I select recovery, it goes black, then fully reboots...
Anyone have any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried re-flashing a recovery image, eg TWRP 2.3, from fastboot?

Scheiße, I reflashed TWRP in fastboot, and I am getting the same result. I think my N7 forgot it has a recovery!? I will try flashing clockwork through fastboot and see if this works. Thanks for your help...
Edit: Clockwork does not help. There is no recovery for me. I am now at a loss. Hopefully someone will have some suggestions...

Finally got my recovery back...damn latest bootloader!
Yeah, this has sucked. I have spent several hours figuring out what the hell went wrong. It turns out its the latest bootloader. Others are having this issue. So, I had to go back to stock (which will erase EVERYTHING) and then had to re-root. Now that my bootloader is back to JRO03D, I am back up and running.
So, the first time I did this route, I decided to take the update and re-root my N7, and ran into the same issue. I could not get into recovery. So, I had to do it all over, this time not taking the update and not updating the bootloaders, and I am now back and already have a ROM running and everything installed.
If you want to go this route, here are a couple of links that will help...
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/28544-guide-nexus-7-bootloadersrecoveriesrootback-to-stock/#entry764328 and go to the Back To Stock section. The next part is for rooting (if you wish to do this yourself)...

Nexus 7 stuck in bootloop after attempts to reflash stock and unroot

Hello everyone,
I tried to root my 32g Nexus 7 with WugFresh's toolkit 1.6.1 (I'm fairly new to the rooting thing so I tried to use a toolkit). It did not go well. During the process I received messages from the toolkit saying it could not read Fastboot - but they seemed to go away after I switched USB ports. After the bootloader unlocked, I went back into the device and saw that it didn't fully wipe (I thought it was supposed to wipe out *everything*). When the rooting portion was finished, there were no new apps in my app page (super user and whatnot).
So I decided to nix the whole thing and just put it back into stock and try again tomorrow. I followed the instructions to get the drivers to where they needed to be, and then set it to flash back to stock and unroot the device.
First time around, it stalled during the flash. Rebooted, tried again, flash went fine. Toolkit said it would appear to be stuck in a bootloop for about 5-10 minutes. Well, after 20 minutes, it was still on that colorful "x". So, I reset it once again, and now it's stuck on the pretty colored "x". I do think the unlock is still there because the open padlock still shows up when I reboot. It just gets stuck on the "x".
Can anyone help me? I'd really rather not remove the battery if I have to (though it doesn't look that hard).
I feel terrible about this. This was my Christmas gift, and I feel like I've completely ruined the thing over what was supposed to be an easy root procedure.
EDIT: I was able to get to the Android with the red triangle on it and did a factory reset, but it seems that it still can't get past the "x".

The best thing to do is reflash using fastboot. Google "flash n7 with fastboot". It is really the best way to work on an n7, or any nexus device.

[Q] Baffled, Confused, Stuck... sniffing KitKats

Hello guys
For some reason I decided to test out the CM and Slim 4.4 roms, but did not see that there were issues flashing with TWRP... so flashing failed with both these ROMS. I did not read the ops on Slim and did not see any warning about TWRP on the CM, so began wiping stuff to try make the flash happen, eventually wiped too much, and now I cannot boot the tablet. Worse is I have also wiped the zip files from the tablet so now I have PhilZ Touch CMW recovery but nothing to flash and this Recovery does not suppot OTG memory, so I have nothing to flash.
SO, tried my full version of Nexus 10 Toolkit to sideload the zip, but Toolkit never gets past "Toolkit Waiting for ADB mode".
I don't know the manual commands to try flash one of these roms, but at this point, I would be happy to just go back to stock, and cant figure how to get to Download mode, there is no home button on an N10.
It seems my safest bet, if possible, would be to get to download and flash a rom there.
Any ideas, much appreciated,
Mark.

From recovery power down your tablet and get into fastboot by holding volume buttons and power buttons at the same time. If this works then you'll be fine because from there you can get back to stock. Download wugfreshs nexus toolkit. Use the option to return to stock and check the one that says stuck in bootloop but can access fastboot (or something like that) then plug your tablet in while its in fastboot mode and go through the steps. It'll have to download stock factory image unless you already have it and browse to it but the toolkit will do everything and get your tablet working again. Don't worry too much its usually not as bad as it seems. The same thing happened to me and I panicked and it turned out to be an easy fix. If you need any more help or more detail on what to do just ask

Thanks Abdel, that worked fine... though I did spend about an hour on Wugfresh last night, it kept on starting to do stuff, then got to recovery mode and it stopped with wufgresh saying waiting for device or something... maybe shutting computer helped too... anyway, thanks for the advice, somehow it worked!
Cheers

Nexus 7 (2012) WiFi Soft-bricked

Hi,
I have an old Nexus 7 (grouper on completely stock KTU84P, unrooted) that I gave up on a long time ago and recently found it again. I charged it up and the Google logo came up. And then the 'Start' in green with a arrow around it appeared. It was stuck. I could use the volume buttons to power off or enter recovery but that was it. Once in recovery, I tried wiping cache but that got stuck on 'Formatting /cache'.
Now, I do remember it got very sluggish when I last used it a long time ago to a point that it just used to freeze up on me every few minutes. Maybe, i hope not, but maybe it's got something to do with the notorious flash emmc(or whatever it was called) that this device has. If not, I'd love to be able to use it again in any way possible.
TIA.

Is it possible to connect via USB?
If so, then try a clean flash.

It is possible. I tried sideloading a stock OTA package (using just adb) called '4939a9ff6d10c495beaed26ac96228246f724272 signed-nakasi-LRX21P-from-KTU84P 4939a9ff' but that failed. Then I tried the Nexus Root Toolkit's flash stock feature. It connects and goes well until it reboots to unlock the bootloader. The display doesn't turn on but the computer recognizes a new device called 'APX' with hardware id 'USB\VID_0955&PID_7330&REV_0103'. I've tried booting it into custom recovery using NRT but that didn't work either.
According to the current '3e' stock recovery I remembered that it used to run KTU84P (4.4 Kitkat) and never ran Lollipop which it seems caused some trouble too.

Please try Wugs Toolkit.
That is an easy program to do all kind of repairs.
It never failed me.

'Nexus Root Toolkit' or NRT IS Wugs toolkit.
