TWRP and I forgot that I shouldn't let it "fix" broken root.
I just used the basic guide on how to flash a factory image of 4.3 in smaller pieces with fastboot, skipping userdata (so I could keep mine), and then sideloaded the two KRT OTA followed by flashing SuperSU 1.75. I did all that in one go, on my second Nexus 7, before booting it the first time.

1st Make sure you are on the latest twrp. 2nd it would be easier just to flash a stock ROM in recovery instead of flashing the factory images.. Is there a particular need for using the factory images or do u just want a working ROM?

[Q] Stuck in boot after flashing PA

I just flashed Paranoid Android on my N7 running 4.1.2, and it's stuck in the boot animation. I've been on this for about 10 minutes now. What should I do?
Go back to recovery, factory reset, wipe caches and reflash

Try long pressing the power button to turn it off and try booting again. Sometimes it hangs on boot after flashing. Especially with certain kernels.
Wow, I'm in the same spot here after flashing PA. Can't get to recovery, PC isn't seeing it either. Been searching all day. Can anyone point us in the right direction? It will be much appreciated.

Nope! I'm slapping myself as with one hand as I type with the other. Is there any method of salvation? *Please note: I rely on toolkits most of the time. Any help is appreciated, as always.

So you fixed it? I updated the bootloader before updating PA to any newer versions. I haven't had bootloops. I followed the DROIDMODDERX video on YouTube when I was on 4.1.1. In the tool kit thread it tells you how to update.

Reboot error related to paths?
I flashed my N7 a few weeks back (using goomanager) with 4.2 JB which worked fine. I then put on gapps and got an endless loop of error messages about trying to configure them. At this point I rebooted to recovery and put back on rooted stock 4.1.1.
I thought I would try PA again this week and the ROM flashes OK, but when I reboot the N7 "hangs" at the boot screen and goes no further. The same thing happens if I try SmoothROM. I can go back to rooted stock OK though.
I notice the paths have been updated as per 4.2 but otherwise things appear the same as before.
Any idea why PA now won't boot?
Thanks

boot loop

My Nexus is stuck in a boot loop.
Trying to load into the ROM will leave me stuck at the Google logo but the unlocked pad(bootloader unlocked). Trying to get into recovery mode will do the same thing. I can temp boot into TWRP using wugs toolkit
I have some very important videos on my Nexus 7 that I would like to recover before flashing the stock ROM
Can anyone tell me the steps to recover when in my position?
Thanks

[Q] Updated Nexus 7 to 4.4, stuck with the bouncing circles logo

Hi everyone,
I let my Nexus 7 update via the OTA update. It seemed to go OK but now when I boot I just got the Google logo, then these "bouncing" circles that appear to have taken the place of the original boot animation.
It doesn't seem to boot any further? Can anyone help?
I had this last night when my device updated, I just turned out off and back on and it seemed fine but I did lose root access,

I had this problem when I had a custom kernel on the device. If that's the case for you, just fastboot flash the boot image from the Nexus Binaries page.
Otherwise, you might need to adb logcat to see what's going on. For me it wasn't obvious what was up, it just kept getting to a certain spot in the boot and dalvik was crashing. I just figured it out by trying stuff.
If all else fails, you can try flashing the whole system as well, start fresh in case you've made other modifications to the ROM, although OTA's usually fail in those cases.
I do have cwm installed.

I had/have twrp.
I chose the quickest path by using the "nexus root toolkit".

I ended up just flashing the stock image file. Kind of wanted to do a stock install anyway.

Issue returning to stock

Hi, guys, so I recently got a replacement for my GS4 and the model I got did not have functioning wifi.
I then left the country for a while so I was unable to send it in to be replaced.
I wasn't sure which firmware version was on the device before I tried fixing it.
I've tried all sorts of stuff, but I either get stuck on the ATT boot logo (wiping cache and factory reset did not fix it) or I run into the SW Rev Check Fail: fused: 5 Binary: 2 error.
Can someone please help?
Let me know what you need to help me out.
Thanks!!!
The fused 5 tells me you're on a newer firmware version. I'd flash the nb1 tar file in Odin. See the general forum for it

Okay, so I got the NB1 from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2674223
The odin flash passed just fine - http://i.gyazo.com/59ba7f6a24a49d8e4af68f9c93914e34.png
On reboot, it hits the solid Samsung logo with a custom logo below it with the unlocked padlock.
Recovery won't boot, only download mode will, and it bootloops when trying to start up.
Further assistance required, please help!
Thanks!

Are you can't get into recovery? Factory reset in recovery should get you past the boot loop.

Okay, so I got into recovery, did a factory reset, wiped cache, rebooted, and now It boots to the samsung animation, then the ATT animation, but the ATT animation freezes half way and won't boot.
What do I do now?
Thanks!

Stuck in a BOOTLOOP [help]

Hi guys,
First thing is first, I am an idiot. Now back to the problem. I was having some issues with my rooted Nexus 4 so I decided to factory reset it instead of using the Nexus Root Toolkit . And it got stuck in a bootloop, when I tried using the toolkit afterwards to get it out - I couldnt because of something to do with USB debugging. I dont know what other information you need to solve this so please ask.

As you can boot in to recovery, why don't you try to flash a custom ROM?
If you don;t want that, flash the factory images (that's the simplest way and I had used it once )
