So when I try to install the new 4.4 update it is stuck on the rebooting now screen, It has been there for 20 minutes. I am unlocked and rooted if that makes a difference. Also I tried to flash thunderkat and that also failed in twrp. I have no clue why. Just seeing if anyone might have an answer for my problem.

I had exactly the same, you must exit out of bootloop, factory reset then continue. WUGS NRT for N10 tells you to do it and how and when. I've only had this issue on N10, not my N7 or N4.

Huh? Are you updating? Don't. Do fresh stock install. Then unroot with no custom recovery. Then install custom recovery.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk
In the mean time, you can return to normal by reflashing the cm nightly/stable ROM you were running when you tried to update to 4.4. I had the same issue, but managed to reflash the stable cm 10.2 zip and my nexus began to function again.

But also I would like to know how to go about reflashing stock and undoing root without permanently losing my game data. From what I understand, a nandroid backup would take care of all of that for me?

Flash the latest Factory image via fastboot. There is a way tot modify the flash-all.bat so it wont wipe any data.

Yes.
So? I backup myself and restore myself, using LAN file-server for small files and a USB drive for large files.
There is more time wasted in trying to keep data and settings than the time it takes to re-enter.

My nexus 7 is rooted. Is that why it can't accept the 4.1.2 update? What should I do? It keeps reminding me to install the update every 15 minutes. When I try to, it just crashes.

I'm trying to update it while keeping root. I downloaded ota root keeper. But I keep getting the "dead Android with red exclamation mark" screen every time I try to install the OTA update. I even tried its option to temporarily un-root before performing the update, but no luck. Anyone have any ideas?
Edit - Also I tried installing it manually. Used GooManager to install TWRP and tried installing 4.1.2 through it. Still fails every time. I'm disgusted.

Backup--unroot--relock--update--unlock--reroot--recover? I'm brand new to this stuff (don't even have a N7 yet), but seems like this would work.
The stock update will only install with stock recovery being root has no effect. If you have changed system apps. Like to the 4.2 apps floating around could stop the update as well. Google does not care another root or unlocked. I would say do factory reset then update then root. Or download one of the stock cwm/twelve roms and be done with it.

Well it happened again. The 4.2.2 update is out and I can't update to it. Every time I try, I get the dead android error icon.
It sure gets old saying this, but...
The error message is recorded in the recovery log at
/cache/recovery/recovery.log
You will find that the problem has nothing to do with root per se - generally the root user (or apps that were granted root privilege) have altered or deleted something in /system needed for the OTA to correctly complete.
In general, OTAs are not meant for customized ROMs - it is unreasonable for anyone to have an expectation that they will work correctly on a customized ROM.
But I didn't install a customized rom. I just rooted/unlocked it.
You can always download the update from Google's servers and flash it through fastboot. No hassle.

Note that the recovery.log file gets overwritten every time you boot the recovery, so the thing you are trying to retrieve (let's say with the booted OS) will be from the immediately prior use of the recovery. So, attempt the OTA (let it fail), then boot into the OS and capture that file (using something which is root-privileged).

You don't need udb debugging in fastboot mode. Flash the full factory image.

Managed to flash full factory image.
When I flashed 4.3, its stucked at "Android is upgrading.... Starting Apps" screen.
When I flashed 4.2 its managed to boot successfully but I don't get the network coverage.
When i try to search network its "Error in searching network".
The baseband version is stated as unknown.
Reflash 4.3 and wait for the installation to finish. If it gets stuck on "Android is upgrading" just restart the phone. This time use THIS toolkit. it has always worked for me.
Me too did try flashing 4.3 again and again twice but still stuck up with x screen.

I too had this problem with my Nexus 4. I flashed the factory image (I tried with Android 4.2 and 4.3) with fastboot and I got exactly the same errors as you. I finally sent back my device to Google, the new one should arrive next week. I have no idea what can cause this problem :/
This thread is old, but if you have a problem with booting, you don't have to go unlocking bootloader and flashing anything if it can be fixed by just going into stock recovery and wiping cache or factory reset (you will lose apps data, but not data in your phone storage.)
Hold Power + Volume Down when the phone is off to go into "fastboot mode". Then use the Volume keys to navigate to Recovery. In there, press some combination of buttons of Volume and Power to bring up the menu (I forgot what the combination is, just fiddle around), then you can wipe cache or factory reset.
If even factory reseting doesn't help, you might need to unlock bootloader and flash factory firmware, but if you unlock the bootloader it will wipe the phone entirely and you will lose all your data. You can try to boot the phone and connect it to your PC, even if it doesn't boot fully there might be a chance MTP is loaded so you can copy files off.

You should do a factory reset in recovery before flashing. Follow the instruction here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312, and make sure you use the correct firmware image when flashing it.
Ok i was updating my rooted nexus 7 (2012) of the air to 4.4 kitkat. It downloaded and installed but when it was time for it to boot it just got stuck at the 4.4 booting screen (the circles) so i looked on the forums and it said to format everything (cache, system, sd) via clockworkmod so i did. When i tried to reboot it just got stuck at the Google loading screen.

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.

Most bootloops after updates are solved by powering down and then wiping the cache/dalvik cache. There's no need to flash the system image. In fact, flashing the system image only may not get him out of the bootloop.
If he wants to go back to root, he'll need a custom recovery in any case. I'd recommend flashing a custom recovery, booting into that recovery and wiping cache/dalvik cache.

I have the att version and wiping takes like 5 minutes.
Why isnt this wiping on my verizon g2?

Unfortunately I wouldn't know. I've always used CWM. This is the first time I've ever used TWRP. But CWM would take considerably longer than the very quick factory reset speeds I'm seeing now.
