Evberything went smoothly, but when I flashed the stock image I did get this:

archive does not contain 'boot.sig'
archive does not contain 'recovery.sig'
archive does not contain 'system.sig'

The image did successfully install, but I'm wondering if the above messages mean anything I should be aware of?

Should not make a difference, everything work out regardless?

Those little warning things are standard fare. I've become well acquainted with them lol

Hmm.. Try this. Unzip that update zip file so you have just the underlying files separated out (system.img, boot.img, etc). Move them into the main folder you are using. Make sure you followed step 6 to erase everything manually. Now flash each file separately as in:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Enter
fastboot flash system system.img
Enter
And so forth..

See if it will let you proceed that way, let me know..

In case anyone is doing this lately.... I am aware that we are now on 4.1.1 (JRO03D) so technically I ought to revise the first link in the instructions and the command parts to reflect the proper filename.... which I will do later, lol... just a bit busy now and I only just noticed it.. just wanted to point that out. Should be pretty self-explanatory tho

does this actually lock the device (bootloader?)
i have actually unlocked it using fastboot but because of the problem of implementing the program called clockwork.img.
looking for any help.

are you trying to lock it back up?

if so, these directions will put you back to stock ... starting with erasing what you have on there currenctly, putting the stock factory image on the device, and then finally the the command towards the end "fastboot oem lock" is the one that locks the bootloader again.

[feelinfroggy23]

Does this only give you the factory image and not re-lock your bootloader?? Pointless without re-locking bootloader right?

It restores you to factory condition, only step 9 relocks the bootloader - which is optional. Useful if you screw something up hacking/flashing/etc

Updated direct link to the appropriate (4.1.1) factory image. Also gonna try to do some editing later.. Want to be less wordy and try and make this even easier to follow, lol... OCD is bugging out

What is this sdk stuff? I've never seen it before. Do i really need it? Your video confused the crap outta me but its not bad

Lol... not my video, but I thought it was pretty easy to follow. The Android SDK is typically what you install and setup in order to get adb and fastboot commands working on your computer.. but its not crucial. The downloads available in the 2 unlocking threads we have ought to supply you with the adb and fastboot exe files which are all you really need to get through this..

@OP,
Thanks for the great thread, with links, and instructions, etc.

Lordy, Lordy! Am I ever glad that I came across the exchange that hollip3020 had with 2defmouze that ended with hollip plugging his puppy into a USB port on the rump end of the PC. I did it under Ubuntu 12.04, and, just as happened to hollip3020, the process hung forever at the point of updating the image-nakasi-jro03d.zip file. A gentle swing with a five pound hand sledge to separate the Nexus 7 from the Asus EB-1501B, followed by switching to a hind side USB port allowed the un-bricking to proceed successfully.

Thanks YoozGuyz

See a few posts ago where I had someone unzip that main image file and do them all manually. Additionally if only the system part is failing then that's all you need to send (but you should do them all in the same session). Also check the md5 checksum for good measure to make sure you didn't get a bad download. The md5 is posted on the Google sight and you can find many small, free programs to check the md5 by doing a quick Google search.

I tried that and I checked the MD5 and I've tried two different PCs.

Hey sorry I missed you responding and it got late here. Have you been able to get that last step working yet?

If not you may also try Wugs toolkit, I believe it works with the N7 and can restore the factory images too: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sho...d.php?t=147177

hi I am having a problem and I need to return to stock. when i try this guide i cannot erase cache or userdata. It doesnt give me an error but it just wont finish the process. I tried to use wugfreshs root toolkit to return back but this program also gets hung up when it attempt to erase userdata. I am absolutely stuck, I do not know what to do. If you have any guidance you can offer me please do.

Read through the thread.. as similar problems have shown up that we were able to work around. And try again if its just erroring out, sometimes that will help.

If you still can't get it done, try and be specific about exactly where you are in the process and the exact error message you are getting. Also include what OS you are on. I'll be around to help
