Alright, so what you will do is this :

1. Go into bootloader/fastboot

2. Run these command : (You will need this : http://www.datafilehost.com/download-dd45fd01.html )

fastboot format system

fastboot format userdata

fastboot format cache

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery-touch.img

3. Go into recovery

4. Mount all partition you can (Some my not want to mount it is normal)

5. Type

adb push SmoothROM.zip /sdcard/

(this assume my rom is called SmoothROM.zip)

6. Flash the rom

7. Enjoy
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Tired of the Bull:
OK its been a few hours now and this runs so much better on the stock kernel than on the motley. Very, very smooth. I may try some of the other kernels just to gather info.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Would be nice if you could :) ! Please keep me tuned !
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Rafosky:
Thanks....:D:D:D I'll try it tomorrow.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] melgibson666:
Just flashed this ROM and ran quadrant. My score was much lower even with the motley kernel, I notice my I/O score was really low. Any clues as to why?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] BigFuzzyArchon:
cant download skype, google maps and probably some more stuff with this rom...why?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Well in my picture, I had OC with SetCPU and I had nothing install. Other then that humm scores depends on some devices but shouldn't have a huge difference.

Unless you give me a picture or whatever, I wont be able either to tell you why as everything is fine on my side. Did you wiped all data before installing my ROM ?

By the way, I'm making a tool to wipe datas properly because I feel like it will help many of you :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] BigFuzzyArchon:
hey, seems to work now, didnt really do anything...before it said incompatible and now it installed fine. weird.

great rom, loving it so far. first one I installed on my nexus 7
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Haha wonder what happened too then :P Glad you like it thanks :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] vignesh_jariwala:
Superb ROM, one of the finest ROM for our dear Nexus 7 and thanks for the inclusion of smoothrom wallpaper:)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] suchavibrantthang:
You should add those fastboot command to your OP for those having Google screen hangups.

Also if you don't want to add a extended menu (although you should've since every Rom has option to reboot recovery, bootloader), add the quickboot app. Works everytime.

Sent from my SGH-T959
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
No problem :D Thanks :D

I said I will be adding it :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] melgibson666:
Oh I just found it weird my I/O score was like 1200 and yours was 7k lol
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Udonitron:
I left it to charge for about 4 hours.

Rebooted and chose recovery in the bootloader screen, it restarted and just keeps sitting at the Google/pad lock screen now...won't go any further.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Sounds like you should use my tool 'JROMFlasher' :) Remember : Buttons are like steps in order :)

It is going to fail :p You can't install SmoothROM over a stock rom ;) Unless you erase data and cache
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Bilge656:
Don't worry I did. I wiped everything and I just finished restoring my apps
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Billchen0014:
i accidentally wiped everything including the sd card and bricked my n7, had to unbrick it... oh well, time to get some proper work done while downloading the factory images @75kps...

3.2 stuffed up my sd card, i clean installed other roms, but the sd still wouldn't let me write, now im gonna return it to factory image, see what happens
[Nexus 7 Android Development] mertzi:
So 3.3 is working good if you come from whatever rom as long as you wipe data and cache? Im a bit confused.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Bilge656:
James, is 3.4 good and ready to install?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Vektor67:
I don't know exactly what happened but I've never had any troubles with my Nexus 7 until I flashed

3.2 last night. I did factory reset,wipe cace and wipe dalvik. I noticed the install was too fast and saw

that some symlinks failed so I rebooted to recovery and the second time I formatted system in additionto the

Previously mentioned wipes. It appeared to install perfectly, but I had all sorts of write permission issues.

These manifested at first when I attempted to back something up with Titanium Backup, also I couldn't delete

my CWM folder.

I went to bed today I noticed the quick 3.3 update and thanked my stars, I wasn't alone and it appeared

that the issue was to be resolved fairly easily. So I wiped all again and reinstalled and all appeared to be well...

until my device started rebooting itself 3 or 4 times an hour. So I said uncle and while I'veenjoyed SmoothRom

in the past I was going to give up. So I restored to a backup I had of the new Bugless Beast/Franco combo

Which was flawless, bugless and very smooth and quick. The problem is however that my device appears to have a a not so smooth hangover and I'm unable to write to pretty much anywhere except the root of my sdcard, which I noticed when my downloads all failed to my default directory and I couldn't move any of my files from one directory to another. So you could please tell me how I can regain control of my device I'd be much obliged.

It's an issue that never arose prior to my flash of 3.2. I'm justabout ready to zero out back to stock and start over

but if there is an easier way for me too remove the gremlins from my machine please let me know. Oh and I chose

the bricked kernel *appropox*. Iam now trying to run a formerly bugless version of bugless which now has smooth bugs. Thanks for any help, I do appreciate your work and have enjoyed your Rom in the past, I'm just going to take a hiatus until I can forget about the last 36 hours of frustration. Thanks again
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Tired of the Bull:
Well since I've been through similar (actually worse) 3.2 horrors I would suggest the following.

Move your nandroid of the Bugless install off the tablet and run the JROMFlasher and follow the instructions all the way through. When done you will have a very nice 3.3 install (which is working great for me), but if you still want to continue the hiatus all you have to do is move the nandroid back to the tablet and recover it through CWM. As has been mentioned several times here (and as I learned the hard way) the JROMFlasher will wipe EVERYTHING, but the process does clear up any lingering 3.2 write problems.

Good luck...I hope this helps.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dnyc:
3.2 made me go back to my laptop. Even the flasher didn't help so I used tool kit to flash stock then flash 3.3. Now downloading 3.4
[Nexus 7 Android Development] evildomain:
How are you downloading 3.4? It's not up yet.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Evo_Shift:
I don't see a 3.4 link. The OP still looks as if 3.3 is the current version.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Hi,

Please, stop thinking that downloading the factory rom and flashing it makes your device 'cleaner' it is NOT true at all. If you want a clean device, just use my JROMFlasher instead.

Yes SmoothROM v3.4 is ready to go :) I'm editing the topic right now

Use my JROMFlasher :) It is going to fix everything :) Don't give up!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] evildomain:
I tried using your JROMFlasher once but it gave errors and I followed the simple instructions correctly so I have been using recovery since and everything was fine. Only problem was 3.2 but that has been resolved.

Thanks for the quick response to the problem and I appreciate all your hard work. I love this ROM....My favorite so far...:D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Thanks :) I'm always aiming the best for my user and having upload a broken update like that is totally unacceptable, this is why I canceled all my project of today to work as much as possible on the issue ! :) Sorry to everyone who lost their data
[Nexus 7 Android Development] evildomain:
Downloading 3.4 now...:D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Should be bug free ! :) Hopefully
[Nexus 7 Android Development] evildomain:
seems to be running well so far. I write to the SD card without problems.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Awesome thanks for the feedback ! :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] evildomain:
May have spoken too soon. Can't seem to transfer some folders over to the SD card now.

Edit: rebooted device and folders transfered ok....wierd?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] John_Q:
Dropbox working fine? I couldn't download on v3.2 Something fishy happened and screwed up my partition or something had to format the card to read and write properly.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] zen15:
Well sir, you mean jrom flasher will wipe everything, means everything including sd card? Or everything except sd card?

I'm a little bit new to this Nexus 7 things.....

TIA

Oh... One thing I want to make sure before flashing...

Do I have to make clean install (wipe all except sd card) or just wipe cache and dalvik cache? Coming from 3.1 rom
[Nexus 7 Android Development] frozenspark:
v3.2 has problems (read a few pages back). 3.4 is up right now.

I'm restoring my apps right now with it. :D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] zeiloz:
if im flashing from smoothrom 3.1 to 3.4, do i still need to wipe everything?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
Yes, that's the point that James has been trying to get across. Wipe system, cache, dalvik cache. For me, it's better to spend 10 minutes restoring apps and re-setting up than to potentially spend hours trying to get a messed up device back up.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] zeiloz:
And do i need to flash the new JZO54K bootloader? If so, should i do it after flashing 3.4?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] John_Q:
I don't think so, check your bootloader after installing the ROM to check what version you have..

New version ... 3.41
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SquireSCA:
Alas, this has completely jacked my N7. Even with the JROMFlash tool, didn't fix the SD card issue, gonna have to do a complete factory restore, reunlock it, reroot it and completely start from scratch... Thanks God I backed up my files to my PC yesterday... LOL
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Tired of the Bull:
I mean EVERYTHING! JROMFlasher will wipe everything.

If you are going the manual route (not JROMFlasher), then yes you should wipe data/factory, cache and dalvik. I usually wipe them each a few times before flashing a new ROM since android seems to have a liberal definition of "Format" and "Wipe".

James is very clear about the fact you need to start clean before flashing the ROM.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Bilge656:
I trie updating from 3.3 to 3.4, and it said some symlink things had failed. I had wiped cache and Dalvik, i dont need to wipe on an upgrade right?. TWRP then said i didnt have an OS. Reflashing succeeded, but now i cant get past the google logo. Any help?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Tired of the Bull:
jamesst20, can you be a little more specific about what was wrong with Nova and what bugs are fixed in 3.4?

I think I have 3.3 running really well and I'm not in a hurry to do it all over again unless the bugs and Nova problems are serious enough to warrant the effort.

Thanks.......

---------- Post added at 10:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 PM ----------

Always wipe with this ROM!!!!!!!!!!

Even if flashing the same version!!!!!!!!

That is the safest approach.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SquireSCA:
I did a full factory restore, complete re-imaging of the device, formatted SD card everything.

Still isn't right. Tried to copy some files to the SD card after I rebooted into stock Google 4.1.1 and it was letting me copy, but the pictures were showing up as "local drive" rather than seeing thumbnails of the images... Hundreds of them, and I could not open them by clicking on them.

If a full factory restore with the toolkit, which downloads the factory image from Google and does a full restore doesn't fix this, what will?

I hate to think that this ROM just permanently messed up my N7. Tried everything I can think of and it still isn't right...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] BPP!:
Can I choose not to use Nova, I don't like it at all. Would love to just run stock launcher
[Nexus 7 Android Development] John_Q:
I feel your pain. I was going nuts trying to figure out my read/ write issues last night. Folders couldn't be deleted, download off dropbox didn't work, and trying to delete files from the PC would just hang and crash. I went inot CWM and did format sd card and it seems to have cleared up my problems. Best of luck....

Thanks James for the quick turn around. Just flashed the new ROM everything is back the way it was on v3.1.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] T-Keith:
Ok I flashed 3.2 over 3.1. Is there any way to back up my sd card or Data partion before wiping ?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] John_Q:
Backup to PC?

If your in CWM....

1.Backup( Just in case)

2.Factory Data Reset

3.Wipe Cache Partition

4.Flash the ROM and you should be good to go.

Select NO at the end..

I did it that way and had no problems and your storage remains untouched.

Edit.I just read you flashed 3.2? you should get 3.4
[Nexus 7 Android Development] T-Keith:
Yeah my nexus won't even book into recovery, it sticks at the Google logo.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Bilge656:
Wugs toolkit or nexus toolkit
[Nexus 7 Android Development] John_Q:
Have you tired to get to recovery plugged into your PC? If your stuck on a boot loop. I would use the Nexus toolkit, it can download and flash stock image for you as long as you can get to your boot loader. There is a thread here on XDA to unbrick the Nexus. I'll post it if I find it. Good luck
[Nexus 7 Android Development] T-Keith:
Anything that will work with Linux?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] taitony:
James,

Bugs are still there after I flash 3.4.

1. Screeshoot (Power button) still report error as "Couldn't save screenshot. Storage may be in use". But screenshot by stock (Power + Vol-) is OK now.

2. Camera JB+ still reports "No External storage available" and FC after cancel this message. This Camera JB+ is OK in V3.1.

3. Gallery still show black preview. But it may be bug in 4.1.2 since I back to stock 4.1.2 and same case.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] John_Q:
I don't have those issues....

1. Pressing power button than screenshot works fine and saves.

2. Not sure what problem you have exactly. I can take snapshots and record just fine.

3. Gallery works as it should.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] frozenspark:
Same here. No problem on 3.4 so far. I did a full wipe (cache,dalvik cache,reset factory,system) using TWRP 2.3.

The safest approach of upgrading as previously mentioned .
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Tired of the Bull:
Yeah I'm on 3.3 after much pain on 3.2 but all works fine now. I did not have to partition or do anything special to the sdcard. I did have to flash CWM a couple different ways because it went really wacky when I flashed v6 during my recovery from 3.2. Personally I liked the older CWM.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
I think this well explain the situation

SmoothROM v3.4 is 100% Bug free, if you read this ^, you should understand that flashing the fixed rom over the brocken one doesn't fix anything.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
I can also confirm that screenshot/ gallery are working fine. Can also confirm that my SD read/write issue is resolved and bricked kernel installed. I'm liking smooth ROM v3.4!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] alextso321:
Just wondering what is your GPU clock speed in the Bricked-kernel of your v3.4 smoothrom. Thanks
[Nexus 7 Android Development] evildomain:
I'm re-doing the install of 3.4, it was not right for me still. This time I'll try JROMFlasher and hope it goes better...lol
[Nexus 7 Android Development] vn00914361:
James, could you do something to the framework so the Rom could run faster a bit?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] C4H1LL:
Working great on 3.4, thanks bro!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] T-Keith:
What if we can't run jromflasher? Is there any hope to getting my data off? Will jromflasher even do that, or are you saying it just needs to be wiped? I've been flashing ROMs for almost 2 years and never seen such a problem as this.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Tired of the Bull:
JROMFlasher will not recover anything. It is a way to completely wipe your device and install CWM in preparation to copy a custom ROM to the device to install.

What have you done so far?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] John_Q:
Highly recommend using JROM. Find someone with a PC, it's a small file and you will need the ROM also. JROM will fix your problems and wipe ALL data off of your device,flash CWM and upload your ROM to your device so you can flash it from recovery.It's a very simple and easy process.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Udonitron:
OK so what Kernel should I use on this 3.4?

Is stock still the smoothest/most stable or?

Finally will have my tablet back :)

Cheers :good:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Tired of the Bull:
So, it is Ok to flash 3.4 over 3.3 with only a cache wipe, as the statement above implies?

I want to be absolutely clear about this. There is a lot of confusion in this thread right now.

What I know for sure!!!

If someone flashed 3.2 then they should use your JROMFlasher to COMPLETELY (everything gone...) wipe their NEXUS 7 and then install 3.4.

What I believe...

if someone has completed the JROMFlasher process and now has 3.3 installed then all they need to do is clear cache and install 3.4 over 3.3. Alternatively they can keep 3.3 because the permission problems in 3.3 don't create a situation that makes flashing 3.4 a must.

---------- Post added at 01:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 AM ----------

I have tested every kernel released and only stock is completely smooth and issue free (for me). If you want a little better performance (at least in the benchmarks) use Franco which is very good. Bricked v5 worked well, but with the wake issue, and so far v5.5 is good and I haven't had a wake issue yet.

The benchmark beasts, motley and trinity, cause me major problems in real world use.

Just my experience...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Udonitron:
+1 thanks man, I will go stock then
[Nexus 7 Android Development] vn00914361:
What problem?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tommy24:
Is anyone able to back up apps using titanium back or removing items using root explorer? Because I can't seem to overwrite on my sd card.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lynx2k50:
Does this Rom also flash the new bootloader from 4.1.2?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] John_Q:
Titanium works fine for me. Try downloading a file off of your dropbox if it fails, I suggest using JROM and flash the newest ROM.

---------- Post added at 08:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 PM ----------

Yes, I have 3.41 Boot to recovery without USB....
[Nexus 7 Android Development] CSCicus:
Flashed v 3.4 but Gallery still doesn't show anything from cloud.

Its there any solution repair that problem?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] vn00914361:

[Nexus 7 Android Development] teqnl:
Seems that goomanager is not cooperating with me , I installed a clean 3.3 yesterday, saw this 3.4 update this morning, downloaded it with goomanager, tried to apply the update, it boots to recovery, the android puppet stays on for a while, then the device reboots again and it boots up, but the goomanager instantly reports there is a rom update available, so I went to settings and checked the version, i'm still on 3.3 ? Seems not working. I did a Wipe cache when selecting the update.

Any ideas ? Many thanks for this great rom, really enjoying it!!

Many hours later my Nexus 7 is coming back to life.

I was able to use the new TWRP 2.3 and ADP to sideload a clean 4.1.2 ROM onto my Nexus 7. Prior to that my SDcard was acting like it could not be mounted or written too. I was having a lot of trouble getting into recovery mode too which might have gotten munged along the way.
