As the Topic Suggest is there any guide someone made for noobs like me

You don't need a guide in your case.
Click here:

There are two STOCK 4.2.2 roms in this thread. One is DEODEXED and the other is ODEXED.
I recommend downloading the DEODEXED STOCK 4.2.2 rom.
Here's the link to the DEODEXED STOCK ROM:
http://goo.im/devs/teshxx/Nexus7Wifi/Grouper-JDQ39_4.2.2-Deodex_Rooted-02-14-13-teshxx.zip
Download it, put it in your N7 and flash it via recovery. You won't lose any data and you don't have to wipe anything. Just flash and go!

I won't get error 7 ?
For installing this ?
And its not ota update how come it wont wipe data?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
1) make a full nandroid (cwm/twrp) backup
2) flash a 4.2.2 stock-derived ROM on top of existing ROM - no wipe
2.5) flash a minimal root kit (SuperSU or Superuser) if not in ROM in step 2 - no wipe
3) flash the same kernel you used previously - no wipe
4) profit!
No workie? Restore backup from step # 1 and try something else.

1. Have you read the thread?
2. No it won't give you an error. Why would it?
3. It's from the official OTA update. You just don't need to wipe anything. Trust me on this.
4. How come? I did this last night on my Nexus 7 and everything is just fine.
5. You won't get a bootloop or an error if you do exactly what I just told you.

There's no need to do that. But in spite of it, I can tell you that you can just create the nandroid backup and leave it in your device. Don't pull it out. Just flash the download in my previous post and if anything goes wrong. Enter recovery mode and restore your system. Even if you did pull the nandriod backup file from the N7 and the device fails to boot up, you cant just put the file back in to restore it that way. It won't mount so you can access the internal storage system.
P.S i don't know how to make the backup show up but i think there are a few thread here that some people have found a solution to it.

I have had TWRP behave the same way - sometimes it will put backups in
/data/media/TWRP/...
and sometimes in
/data/media/0/TWRP/...
It is a bit of a mystery what causes this to happen. Strangely, when there is a folder in the first location, TWRP (2.4.1.0) will not find the second one. But, if I manually move the files from the first location (/data/media/TWRP) to the second location (/data/media/0/TWRP) using a file manager, then TWRP will find the backups no problem.
well, the "sdcard" mount point ( == /data/media/0/ ) is the thing that shows up on the PC via MTP mode, so I would just move the files to the second location. I'm not sure if CWM behaves the same way, but you will certainly be able to copy them from the N7 to the PC at that point.
good luck.

LOL. I told you it works.
There's one thing that you're missing from that update. And that is the bootloader version, the bootloader version that you're currently using is 4.13. The newest version is 4.18. You don't have to update it if you don't want to.
I'll include this link for you to flash the latest bootloader via command prompt.

Updating bootloader does not wipe anything. It simply replaces and updates the one you already have on.
Definition of a bootloader:
http://m.androidcentral.com/what-is-android-bootloader
Sideload? I think so.
boot(basically kernel) and system are usually what people mean 'custom ROM'. So if you just manually flash these two things(and usually need to be done together), none of your 'data' would be lost.
So just find these two images (usually .img) in whatever custom ROM you want and flash it.
This is the unix convention for a long long while and android is just linux

Hello,
This is probably a noob question & I tried to research around myself. I've always rely on someone making a flashable stock rom for every update. I usually keep my phone rooted but run on stock rom with xposed. There's hasn't been a stock rom for m build published. Could anyone share the appropriate adb manual update instructions without factory resetting my phone? Thanks in advance.

Won't flashing the factory image wipe his data any way?
I think only when you unlock and relock the bootloader is when it'll erase data.

Using the flash-all batch file in the factory images will wipe the device, but you can do it manually without wiping.
Do I need to flash everything if I want to keep root? Or can I skip bootloader, recovery, and boot image files since the k build boot image works with m build?

You can only skip the boot, recovery, and userdata images but all other files need to be flashed.

1. What image did you downloaded? Google Factory Image? custom android ROM ? we need more details.
2. Usually when you flash a stock image you will need to re-root your device or use FlashFire app for example, to flash your ROM.

True.
Just be aware that if you flash the factory image as it is, i.e. no changes to the flash-all.bat file, you will lose all your userdata!!
As I mentioned, you can use chainfire's app to flash and keep root permissions but you have to know what you're doing or else you might end up having a shiny large brick.

This should give you a good start. Once again, be sure to know what you're doing. The FlashFire app is a very powerful tool and it can cause a lot of damage if you don't really know what buttons you're pushing.

Sometimes it's worth losing root and later on re-root/reinstall TWRP than to use a tool you know nothing about.
It's up to you.

Just use the guide and flash the factory image via fastboot (you can do so without wiping user data). Boot it once and then flash TWRP and reroot it. You will learn something and be much less likely to have problems.

Glad it worked well for you.
Enjoy it.
So I flashed the 7.1.1 update and everything was fine. I then tried to root through TWRP with the most recent version of recovery and and SuperSu and when I went to reboot it would get to the "Google" splash screen and go back to the warning. I then tried to restore to my Nandroid that I made right before the 7.1.1 flash but it does the same thing. I ended up doing a factory reset, still looping. I tried flashing an old firmware but it still would loop. I got desperate and did a full wipe and then flashed the old firmware from September's update but it still will not boot. I'm a long time lurker I just don't post much. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Make sure your using twrp 3.0.2-2; and download the latest factory image for the Nexus 6p (NBD90X) and use adb (fastboot) to flash that whole thing. Extract the files to your android sdk platform tools folder then run the flash-all.bat file. (If you are using a 64gb or 128gb device DONT DO THIS) Only do this with the 32gb model.

Have you tried WugFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit? Not sure if it will work for your situation, but it has an option to restore to factory settings and unroot if you're soft-bricked or bootlooped. Might be worth a shot if everything else isn't working.
FWIW, I successfully updated to 7.1.1 NPF10C and rooted by using fastboot to flash bootloader, radio, boot, system, and vendor. Then used TWRP 3.0.2-2 to flash SuperSU 2.78 SR1. No issues.

Hey guys,
This afternoon I tried to change my file system fo f2fs, I failed and got into bootloop. Follow some instructions, I flash the factory image (I was using stock 7.1.1 Feb and EX Kernel before trying f2fs) but I still face the bootloop. As I know this is a softbrick, because I can still boot into bootloader and flash recovery. But no matter how I try (flash stock, flash rom cook, flash older stock)...my 6P is still in the bootloop. I check in the TWRP that my phone is still in ext4, not f2fs anymore.
I really need some advice to wake him up. Really appreciate your help.
In all honesty bro, I never noticed much difference if any with ext4 vs f2fs. On another note, what kernel and ROM did you flash with f2fs? The the version that supports f2fs gives bootloops when you flash a custom kernel with that recovery. Try flashing the official version of recovery, reboot, then ROM and kernel if you wish and try again.

Why do you still have TWRP if you flashed stock? You need to flash the complete stock image including the stock recovery.

It's a good sign you formatted and received no errors in fastboot. Google provides instructions for flash-all.bat on the same page you download the images from. https://developers.google.com/android/images
If you are not comfortable using the command window in Windows, you could also use a toolkit like Wugfresh's NRT or Skipsoft's Toolkit to automate the whole process.

Hi... Here's a pretty good detailed process on how to unlock/flash, etc...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928/page549
Also, before using any toolkit, I suggest using manual commands and getting comfortable with it. At least, you learn exactly what command do what! Simply pressing a button in a program may result in a bricked device. Plus with command line you learn something. :good:

I'm guessing you've already tried a factory reset from the stock recovery. Because your bootloader is locked you are limited to sideloading OTA's. And yes, sideloading an older or equal version OTA will fail. You can try a newer revision OTA when available. The 7.1.2 beta may come out before the March security update.

Good point. It didn't occur to me that equal version would fail. Folks need to unlock their boot loaders! Lol

I agree. Unless you absolutely cannot live without Android Pay or Wallet, work phone, etc., there is no reason to not unlock the bootloader as a safeguard. Of course it's no guarantee, but you just have a whole lot more tools at your disposal when SHTF, including restoring a recent backup or flashing a complete stock image. The initial pain of losing your data can be largely mitigated by pulling it off first, and eventually you even forget about the boot nag screen.
