Hi, I have a Nexus 7 2012 WiFi 16gb, and I just noticed that it shows that it has only 6 GB. The device is not rooted, it's running android 5.1. It was rooted but I locked it and unrooted it and flashed 5.1 using nexus root toolkit. I don't know how to fix this, perhaps rooting it and flashing 5.1 manually again will help? I don't know, any help would be aprecciated.
Never mind, factory reset fixed it!

I just received my nexus 7 and there's already an update available. I plan on rooting and flashing a custom rom. Should I update or not? I know sometimes an update can cause problems when it comes to rooting and whatnot so I thought I'd ask first.. thanks for any feedback!

Yes update it. I updated to 4.1.1 first then unlocked, then rooted with permanent cwm then flashed touch cwm from rom manager.
Use nexus toolkit though so you can restore stock recovery to flash Amy new updates and root again easily.
Also no harm updating to 4.1.1 and then rooting we have methods set up for that right now.

You can root it before or after update, you're just updating to 4.1.1, or you can install a ROM that is already there, if you're rooting either way, just go for it right away

This is a nexus device. Unlike other devices you never need to fear an update may break your ability to root.

Hey guys i just got my Nexus 7 today and i am in love with it. Been doing the setup for all the stuff to root it and flash a new ROM onto it but ive come across a small problem. I used the Nexus 7 Toolkit V5.0.0 created by Mark Skippen and was able to finally unlock and root my device, the only problem is it wont let me boot into recovery mode and it just shows a little deaad android guy with the x thing coming out of his stomach or whatver it is. Im on 4.2.2 and am using the JDQ39 build. Any suggestions on what else is needed to be downloaded would be greatly appreciated!

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?

so i tried to install the update and when the system rebooted to install it clockwork recovery said that the package is unsigned and is unknown (or something in that sort). asked if i wanted to proceed with the install and i said no. wanted to ask here whats that all about??
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
