Nexus 7 hard reset not working? Please help me fix this

[Blake Hulbert]

I'm trying to hard reset my Nexus 7 but it's not working, I'm able to do fast-boot and then I select recovery, then the Google logo shows up on screen and stays, now what? How do I hard reset my Nexus 7?

I've been having issues trying to update to 4.2 that's why I'm trying to hard reset it, Asus tech support is no help at all.

Please help.

I found the secret! Press power+vol down (or vol up don't remember which) while your installing the 4.2 update, wait for the Android laying on it's back with red exclamation mark then quickly press power+vol down, you'll see the option to do a full format.

But I pressed the wrong button by accident and now the screen is frozen and it won't power down, i'll just wait for the battery to die and hopefully it will restart.
