Losing root after flashing New ROM - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am currently rooted and running clean RoM 2.6
I have Franco kernel also.
Trouble is, whenever I wipe and flash a new Rom, I'm losing root.
Is this normal? Should I have to reroot every time I flash a new Rom? I have not had to do this on previously rooted phones I've had?

No you're fine. I just got mine yesterday and naturally the first thing I did was update. The steps to unlock the bootloader and flash a recovery (or SuperSU, if you want root on stock ROM) are the same regardless of Android version.
EDIT: Also you DON'T NEED TO ROOT to use ROMs—all ROMs come with root already built in. Skip everything to do with rooting, unless you're trying to root and stay on the stock ROM.
All you need is to unlock the bootloader (ridiculously easy) and flash a custom recovery (also super easy). Then, without root, use the custom recovery to wipe and flash your ROM (which has root built in) and gapps.

Can't start any Custom Rom

IT seems that any custom Rom I load just sits at the startup animation on first boot. None will Load. I can revert back to Stock without a problem.
Any Idea's?
You need to provide more info. Which stock version are you using? what bootloader version you on? What roms have you tried, and what are they based on (4.1.x, 4.2.x) ? CWM, or twrp?

Started with 4.2.2, used the nexus 7 tool kit to perform root, install recovery, etc. Using twrd 2.4 fir recovery. Smooth rim was the latest. Tried 2 others but the names escape me right now. I have rooted and loaded custom rooms on my last 3 phones so I am not s complete noob but am not an expert either

Anyone having issues flashing new ROM to this Nexus?

Thinking of upgrading soon to the 2013 model and wondering if anyone is having issues with flashing a custom ROM.
No. Flashing ROMs is just as easy as any other nexus device.
Once you have a custom recovery, just download a rom and flash or use GooManager or whatever method you like.

Restore Apps after clean update to AOKP 4.3?

Hi, I'm currently running the last AOKP nightly based on JB4.2.2.
Every time I try to update to a more recent, 4.3.1 based version, I fail miserably
Even after a full wipe I get bootloops, the setup wizard crashes, or titanium backup fails to restore much needed (non-system) settings / apps. I get lots of freezes or random reboots along the way...
Am I the only person with such problems?! I found mentions that root is somewhat broken since 4.3 and that current root applications are still unfit to compensate... Is this true?
How can I update to a newer, AOKP based Rom? Is there a official or unofficial version that is stable enough to serve as daily driver? Do I need additional apks? How can I restore my titanium backups?
Thanks in advance!

I flashed the .84 radio but have no new bootloader... Where can I get it? Can I still downgrade to 4.2.2 if the update fails?

Here for the bootloader and if you have a backup of your 4.2.2 rom you are ok.

Make sure you have the latest version of your Recovery and bootloader before flashing the rom.

4.2.1 to 4.3 or 4.4?

Guys im using PA rom in android 4.2.1 and Im thinking of upgrading?what do I need to change? Do I need to upgrade my recovery? In order to flash custom roms for android 4.3/4.4?

as i am aware you should update your bootloader, just to be sure everything works good, other than that you are good, just flash the rom via recovery, which i recommend you update
I seem to recall you had to update the radios as well going from .2 to .3
