Welcome to Android Central! Which Nexus 7 version, 2012 or 2013? Wi-fi only or LTE? Why are you still on 4.2? Both 2012 and 2013 Nexus 7's should be up to 5.0.2 by now.

See if you can boot into Recovery and wipe the cache: http://forums.androidcentral.com/go...e-nexus-7-2012-2013-cache-partition-wipe.html
