Ok I was updated with the new ota parnoid android rom. Tried to flash it and immediately it failed. I really don't know how to read the error codes, but I did see it said my Nexus 7 (2012) was a tilapia instead of a grouper. I know for sure i suppose to flash only grouper roms from parnoid. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? I'm trying to flash the cm11 rom and stuck.

Tilapia is the GSM version (cellular data). Grouper is the WiFi only model. You may be using the wrong version.
I'm using the ota update they usually send. This time isn't not working properly. Even if I try to flash any rom under a gig i it won't flash. I think since I updated to 4.3 things not operating right

I just got nexus 7, I updated it to 4.2.1 then used toolkit and I accidentally used the version for 16gb or 8 and didn't notice 32gb down on the bottom. I then did the all in one and it was telling me to use the older boot loader version. After doing all Idk what's happening. Its not holding CWM I have to keep flashing it on to work and Idk how to unbrick it because I'm boot looping.. I wonder if flashing a ROM may help but I'm not sure witch section my nexus 7 is supposed to be in. I have nexus 7 32gb no 3g.
Please help me! Thanks.
Also I'm not a noob.

Try wugs tool to return to stock firmware. Then just run the right version. If recovery doesn't stick with his tool then use twrp. That recovery will stick. Then you can use the flashable zip from Dev section for cwm touch.

I think flashing any ROM will fix this problem. Is android development the correct section for my nexus 7? I had tried flashing a WiFi+3g kernel witch also gave me bootloop

It can be used to install stock as well as root.
Also android Dev is the right section but there are a few different variants of the nexus 7. People have had issues with certain things even if they are meant for their device.

I'm still on the 4.13 boot loader obviously since I'm on 4.2.1. I don't have a computer so can I just flash a 4.2.2 ROM without any problems? Thanks
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
yeah i dont think having a old bootloader would affect the rom flashing.
but why not wait til you're able to flash the new bootloader and then a 4.2.2 rom as well?
I use the official CM10.1 so I want to update to the latest nightly. But okay. Thanks!

It will. 4.3 isn't fully compatible with the LTE enabled, older radio. People are messing with hybrid radios to fix the incompatibility issues, but that's still a work in process i.e. bugs.

My OTA update said 4.3 was ready to install, but when I clicked install nothing seemed to happen. I am rooted and have TWRP installed as my recovery. Any suggestions?
And now when I check for an update, my phone says I'm up to date but I'm still on 4.2.2.

You have to do it manually by use fastboot method. OTA is not gonna work when you flash the TWRP as your Recovery.
2 method: 1. fastboot flash your recovery back to stock one OTA will work. 2. Flash your N4 with fastboot to get 4.3 ROM.
I went back to the stock 4.2.2 rom and I'm not rooted anymore, but now the stock recovery doesn't work. So how can I update to 4.3?

I just purchased a Nexus 4 and upon checking out the device I noticed the model number says Full JellyBean on Mako. What does this mean?

Mako is the code name given for the nexus 4 device. Jelly Bean is an Android release.
Mine said: Nexus 4. Did you buy it new or used. If used and you're worried, just flash the factory stock 4.3 image which will erase everything previously.

Most likely a custom rom. It doesn't look like the kernel is stock kernel to me. It's safest to do a full wipe and factory reset. You should update to 4.3 anyway, use this guide:

I wasn't able to update to 4.3, and my computer wasn't recognizing the phone either. However, after booting the phone into bootloader, my computer recognized it. So I unlocked it and am currently flash stock 4.3 onto it via Nexus Toolkit.
Hopefully it works out for you. However, try not to use toolkits in the future. If something goes wrong at some point you won't know what to do if you rely on toolkits. Learn the manual method of flashing.

I know how to manually flash and all that. It's just I already had Toolkit installed and just thought it would be quicker.

Yeah, just enable USB debugging and it should recognize. If USB debugging doesn't work (it should), try installing drivers again (manually).
Don't forget to hit "thanks"
i've read that there has been issues with the 4.3 radios losing signal and such and i'm not sure whether i should update just yet. i have the ota sitting waiting to be installed. also, would i lose root or have any problems updating to 4.3? i rooted using mskip's latest toolkit using the 1 click for all option. thanks.
Losing signal...? I have had no such things with T-Mobile and 27/84 & 33/48/84. The hybrid radios are fine with LTE/2g/etc.

I would say absolutely yes, you have a nexus device and the update is very stable, problems are always reported even on 4.2.2 i say always move on to the newest version.

Many problems that might arise after the update can be solved with a factory reset

Ok great. So it wouldn't mess up my root then? And if I wanted to flash a radio to enable lte I could still do that right?
