How are you certain your recovery is gone? You might just be stuck in bootloop. Your best bet is to use toolkit to get you into recovery. Whether Twrp or CWM. From there youcan flash a new kernel and see if it fixes it or use it to restore a backup.
I had similar issue where it was stuck on boot screen. I ccouldn't enter recovery normally. Only way was hooking it up to a pc. Then using a toolkit to make the tablet go into recovery. Then from there, I could use recovery on tablet itself and restore a backup. From there I was good again. Problem solved for me.
Try one of the other toolkits, like Sambra one. Make sure drivers properly installed though.

It's an easy fix, just use wug's toolkit and flash the stock Nexus 7 image. It will be like brand new. I don't think you had a very major problem at all to begin with just a minor bootloop, but this far along I'd restore it to stock and start fresh.

I have the exact same problem. For the record I had the very latest version of SuperSU Pro that got updated today (0.98, I think) with survival mode activated. Don't know if that's the cause of the problem or just the fact that it's rooted.
Dang. Same thing here. And I also just installed the new SuperSU before applying the OTA.

Well, since you replied, this thread is now at the top of the stack, so there's nothing above it. I'm getting old and blind, but I don't see a thread and can't find one with search called anything like "Stuck on Google Screen". Except this one, of course.
Edit...Eh, nevermind. I just flashed the full 4.2 from Google instead of mess with this any more. Restoring apps now.

I did exacty the same thing the app had already updated before I could do the Android 4.2 update. I fix the isue. I had to do restore to stock Rom 4.1.1 then update to 4.1.2 and then to 4.2 then recovered some of the stuff I lost with an old Titanium Backup I did a few weeks ago.
Recovered mine
Hi all,
(I'm the second poster)
I managed to get my Nexus 7 back, although losing all the data, which I think cannot be avoided.
Here is what I did, for dummies:
- Reboot into fastbood mode. For this, hold the power, volume up and volume down button.
- Use the Nexus 7 Toolkit (I donated to get the latest version) or the Nexus Root Toolkit (which I guess works as well) and flash the google factory stock rom.
- If using the Nexus 7 toolkit, at the beginning I selected that I had Android 4.2 installed.
- After flashing, my tablet was as if just taken out from the box (but still unlocked). All my old apps got downloaded automatically, although the settings / game progress were not saved. Fortunately I have some Titanium Backup backups from a little while ago.
- After all apps got downloaded, I put the tablet in fastboot mode again, and I rooted it with the Nexus 7 toolkit via option 4 and then sub-option 2.
Sorry if I said some obvious stuff, but I am not an expert, and wanted to help other non-experts
Good luck to everyone.

Before doing all that, plug your Nexus in and make sure USB Debugging is enabled, and also its set to camera mode, not MTP.
Goto command prompt, and use:
adb reboot recovery
You will then see the Android with a red triangle, at the same time quickly tap power and volume up, you'll then be taken to a blue screen.
Choose wipe cache.
Also you could factory reset?
Then reboot
Hope this helps.

Sure First I thought about using Wug's Toolkit, but I saw it was not updated yet to handle Android 4.2 stuff, whereas the Nexus 7 Toolkit was.
You can download it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809195, but only version 3.2.0 which does not have Android 4.2 stuff. To get the latest version (3.8.2, updated yesterday 14 november), you have to donate and wait until the developer sends you a key. I donated 5 pounds but the developer says any amount is OK. I got my key 1-2h after donating.

Well, I can only tell you the situation that I had before installing the 4.2 OTA:
- Unlocked
- Stock Android 4.1.2
- Rooted with SuperSu 0.98 and survival mode activated
Maybe the problem was to be rooted; or to have SuperSU; or to have specifically SuperSU 0.98; or to have survival mode active... I don't know.
If you want to be fairly sure to not have any problems, I would uninstall SuperSU. There is an option to do a full unroot inside SuperSU itself. Maybe before that to be even safer, you could even uninstall all the root-requiring applications?
Then, reboot, apply the OTA, and cross your fingers
Then you can root again with Nexus 7 toolkit, it was done very fast, and you will have supersu again.
Rooting or unrooting should not wipe your data.
From now on I think I will not have the survival mode activated before an OTA, just in case, as I now know how to unroot / root quite fast.
Good luck

I didn't bother with reverting to stock. I just booted into fastboot mode, which I was still able to do, and installed the factory 4.2 image from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images. I develop apps, so I already had a full development environment and the needed tools installed.

Thanks. I didn't purchase the pro version so I don't have the survival mode feature . I may just wait and see if there are any other folks running into the same issue. Thanks again
Has anyone figured this out yet? I'm also stuck on the Google boot screen after installing the 4.2 OTA on my stock, rooted Nexus 7, and I've tried the following:
- Wiped cache.
- Re-flashed the 4.2 OTA (build JOP40C) from stock recovery via adb.
- Flashed TWRP (via Wug's Root Toolkit) and renamed Superuser.apk, assuming that was the issue.
- Re-flashed the 4.2 OTA (build JOP40C) from custom recovery via WugFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.5.5.
Nothing worked -- it's still locked up on the Google screen at boot. How do I fix this (ideally without wiping my user data)?

Same here, didn't try all you did.
I'll try to descibe what I did to see similarities,
I had my N7, Rooted 4.1.2, unlocking via face-lock, , I has just installed last update from super su, had root protection enabled,
I'm willing to pay 2.7 Bitcoins, (~31$) to someone helping me fix it without reinstalling everything.
Just an update on my situation: Since adb still worked from the Google boot screen, I managed to batch pull my TitaniumBackup folder down onto my PC. I went ahead and flashed back to stock (good guide here, for anyone who needs it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1781250), updated, re-flashed SuperSU and Busybox, and restored all my backups without any issues.
First time I've actually had to do that, but I'm happy to see that my daily TiBu backup schedule paid off, and I'll probably feel much more confident repeating the process in the future.
Anyway, I'm assuming the issue had something to do with the SuperSU apk, as others here have guessed. I, too, had SuperSU's survival mode enabled (which I've disabled) -- and I also had OTA RootKeeper installed (which I've now ditched), In the future, I'll probably just err on the side of caution and fully unroot before applying an OTA; it's easy enough to just re-root, rather than rolling the dice with any sort of survival mode.
And if SuperSU ISN'T the issue, I'd sure like to know what is!
Hi guys, my girlfriend updated to 4.2 yesterday, and it was fine up until her battery died. so she charged it and then tried to turn it on, and it was in an endless boot loop first starting with the google logo coming up, then itll go kinda staticy and go to the X (and sorry for my future description) but then the screen will look like its in the matrix? If that makes sense. I can provide a picture if needed, but then itll just reboot and do the same thing over and over again. We went to Virgin and called samsung and they both said the same thing that the system would have to be recovered. Virgin, however directed me over to use Odin. I've never really used Odin before and am not sure what to do, so would someone mind helping me out with this issue? i've tried going into recovery menu as well, but it doesn't work. I really appreciate the answer in advance!!!!! Her phone is the galaxy nexus.

AdmiralAqbar, if you need to return your Nexus 7 to stock, follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1781250
You could also boot into recovery (hold Volume Up and Down keys while you power on, then select Recovery from the list), and then try to return to stock from there (in Recovery, press Power and Volume Up at the same time, and there should be an option in the resulting list).

Hello everyone,
I tried to root my 32g Nexus 7 with WugFresh's toolkit 1.6.1 (I'm fairly new to the rooting thing so I tried to use a toolkit). It did not go well. During the process I received messages from the toolkit saying it could not read Fastboot - but they seemed to go away after I switched USB ports. After the bootloader unlocked, I went back into the device and saw that it didn't fully wipe (I thought it was supposed to wipe out *everything*). When the rooting portion was finished, there were no new apps in my app page (super user and whatnot).
So I decided to nix the whole thing and just put it back into stock and try again tomorrow. I followed the instructions to get the drivers to where they needed to be, and then set it to flash back to stock and unroot the device.
First time around, it stalled during the flash. Rebooted, tried again, flash went fine. Toolkit said it would appear to be stuck in a bootloop for about 5-10 minutes. Well, after 20 minutes, it was still on that colorful "x". So, I reset it once again, and now it's stuck on the pretty colored "x". I do think the unlock is still there because the open padlock still shows up when I reboot. It just gets stuck on the "x".
Can anyone help me? I'd really rather not remove the battery if I have to (though it doesn't look that hard).
I feel terrible about this. This was my Christmas gift, and I feel like I've completely ruined the thing over what was supposed to be an easy root procedure.
EDIT: I was able to get to the Android with the red triangle on it and did a factory reset, but it seems that it still can't get past the "x".

The best thing to do is reflash using fastboot. Google "flash n7 with fastboot". It is really the best way to work on an n7, or any nexus device.

thanks
Boot into temporary custom recovery using Nexus root toolkit(Advance menu). Now wipe cash and devlock than try rebooting into system. If it doesn't work you can try factory reset. Last but not the least will be Flash Stock + Unroot(Soft brick/boot loop).
ok i wiped cache and devlock was able to to pass the nexus logo into what looks like another android is upgrading screen it got up to 14 of 20 and froze. between my 1st post and yours i was able to get android to fully run. did all the 1st time setup but after about a couple screen taps the device kept freezing and coming up with crash reports. there were a few times that the stock launcher even forced close. after a couple of restarts it finally quit again and would not even pass the nexus logo. ill try to do the other options that u stated in your post. any other thoughts ?

If the factory reset doesn't work just go for the Flash. I don't think you are much worried about the data so it's not a big deal for you. and I'm quit sure this is gonna work. Best of luck.
ok did that. went smooth but then once again it just gets stuck at the nexus logo. waited for over 10 mins like the notes say after re flashing and nothing. so i did a restart this time it passed the nexus logo, went to android is upgrading optimizing app and gets stuck at 4 of 11. being that this is pure android are there custom roms out there that i could try to flash via odin. ive rooted and installed roms before on my other android devices no problem but they were never pure google. am i missing something here. also what would cause a brand new nexus 7 just to go "ape ****" on its self.

Okay, that's weird!!!
Are you using Nexus Root Toolkit?? If yes are you using pre-downloaded android??
Try Automatically download + Extract.....
Last of all I'm really confused how there could be a problem when you got a fresh OS and Stock.
I agree with the messing thing that you told... Try checking and double checking everything... Check if you have selected the correct device or not.
And do a full wipe(including system) using TWRP before flashing again.
Edit: Make sure you are using the latest toolkit. You can get it from the link bellow.

I don't see a way how the problem still exists... :S
Whatever the problem is it's seems to be with android OS. But how it exists in completely new android. Sorry can't find a reason behind the problem. You can still try flashing any older android (like 4.1.2).
ok i got a zip of stock 4.1.2 and using the root tool kit i can install a zip via the twrp but it wont let me bc it says adb device not found and that developer options need to be turned on. im un able to turn it on bc i cant even get into the rom on the device.
thanks
ok i got it working. i was able to flash the older rom to my device and its working so far. no force closes yet.
thanks for everyone's help

I can't just think of anything else. Just telling you the things that I'd have done if I were you.
* reinstall boot
* change kernel
* turn off the auto update of android.
* try some costume room.
Don't throw it out the window you call always donate it to me if you really wanna throw it or make a drop test video...
Last of all just don't lose hope keep trying. you'll find out something surely and share it with us.

Daft question, but the few times you managed to get it running, was your Wifi on?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
yes my wifi was on and was able to stream . spotify among other things
Not the exact same situation, but I found certain Wifi router's would trip my nexus into reboots until I rooted

is there a way i can backup first all my files before factory resetting my phone (if thats the only option i have)????

New to the forum but regularly read it.
I think I may have hardbricked my nexus 7. I was originally trying to root the phone. However, I somehow got into a bootloop before I was able to install superSU (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2382051). Attempted to factory reset because the internal memory was always at 0. However, this always failed.
To fix that I consulted this: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2380913). Same issue happened and it was unable to fix the problem. And I would be stuck in bootloops with the X logo. I did another attempt with this because it seemed to help others with my problem (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2381438). However, after going through the steps and factory clearing the data I was stuck at the GOOGLE logo and never able to boot into the bootloader.
After I tried to hold the power and VOLup button i still get to the android with the red triangle screen HOWEVER i am unable to get any menu to reboot the device or clear data. After shutting the device down I am now unable to even get to the red android error screen.I am forever stuck at the GOOGLE screen or a blank one. When stuck at the google screen it is recognized as Nexus7 but when i try to reset to bootloader (black screen) its QHSUSB_DLOAD.
Obviously, i screwed up, is there any way to fix this or am I out 240 bucks?
Unfortunately its even harder because this nexus 7 isnt available outside the US.

I'm sorry to hear about your nexus 7. I hope we can get it working. Have you tried holding VOLdown and power button? It should get you into fastboot mode. If you can get that we should be able to do something. You may have to hold them down for quite a while so if nothing happens at first keep holding it for 20 seconds or so.
I think the reason you got the android with the red triangle is because there wasn't a custom recovery installed yet.
Let me know what happens and we can go from there.

OMG, finally got to the bootloader. I was beginning to freak out. I can access bootloader, at least its not hardbricked. Thank you. I am in your care for getting this fixed (im way in over my head). Thank you.
It definitely cannot go into recovery mode like you mentioned. I reinstaled TWRP recovery. I then tried to install the nexus 7 "nakasi" factory image, however, I am still in a GOOGLE screen boot loop and I had to reinstall the TWRP recovery afterwards. I still have the 0mb internal memory error. I cannot wipe data successfully either (says Failed when I try) So I am not sure where to go from here, feel like giving up on root and just go for the original factory state. Once again, thank you.

If you can get to your bootloader, and follow directions, then the above will work. Good luck!
It worked! I can finally use it again.
I am still peeved i couldnt root my phone. I have bootloader unlocked still apparently. I obviously am not the most skilled at this but maybe there is a less error prone way to root it? I want access to a few nice apps/features with root access.
The problem I had came with TWRP and getting boot loops (with 0 internal storage). Any tips or alternate methods to rooting?

Why did you try to install the factory images from the old Nexus 7?

Try this. I had the exact same problem as yours and I fixed it. This works!

Not sure if you are clear on this or not but the Nakasi image is for the old Nexus 7. The new Nexus 7 is named Flo and the official Google image will have that as part of the file name (Google still hasn't released a factory image for our device though. However, there are a few unofficial versions floating around on the forum).
