fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-flo-flo-04.05.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
ping -n 5 127.0.0.1 >nul
fastboot update image-razor-mra58v.zip

echo Press any key to exit...
pause >nul
exit
It flashed all these images:
boot.img
cache.img
recovery.img
system.img

So it is de facto the same procedure as is in recommended post from my previous post :)
Is it a big deal that I didn't do that first? I really wasn't worried about keeping my data.

If you wasn't worried about keeping your data then I recommend to use original flash-all.bat script from original factory image *.tgz to be sure that you will have flash your new MM ROM in pristine form. I did the same when I was updating from 4.4.4 to 6.0.0. I didn't preserved my data to be sure that there won't be any residuum from previous ROM. I have my data in cloud and it is easy to setup all my apps to my liking.

Does it make a difference that I initially took the ota and started clean to begin with?

It is totally up to you and your preferences. Your way is easy and without hassle. To flash factory image is more complicated way but you can be sure then that you will get everything in original pristine form.

After flashing 6.0.0 Build MRA58V using the new NRT version 2.0.7 I'm unable to root my N7 2013 using the toolkit. MRA58V boots fine after I flash the ROM with the No Wipe option selected. I then follow the instructions in the toolkit panels and use TWRP 2.8.7.0 to flash both perm-recovery-signed.zip and BETA-SuperSU=v2.52.zip, but after selecting to Reboot the System the N7 gets stuck in the boot animation. The only way I can get the N7 to boot... is to re-flash the ROM. Any suggestions as to how to root it without getting stuck in this bootloop? Thanks.

Hey guys/girls - I know I have been a bit MIA on XDA, but I am still around :)

If I missed any of your posts - my bad. I will try to back track through this thread.

NRT v2.0.7 is out now with support for all the new marshmallow builds, and a whole big script on my end to keep supporting new ones as they come out. NRT v2.0.6 had some bugs - so I am sorry if any of you were having complications with that release.

Make sure you update the kit to the latest masterlists via the update button, or letting it auto update on start (as of this post the latest are 3092). Cheers! Enjoy!

Just rooted on MRA58V and busybox doesn't show up.
Yes, I flashed it, I double-checked the log.
It installed on mine when I used the toolkit to root MRA58V & install TWRP but for some reason the quick reboot app didn't get installed despite being ticked to be installed, had to install the apk for it manually.

...just curious. I bought a locked Nexus 7 off of Craigslist that is stuck on the Google screen upon boot up.

Aside from buying a replacement MoBo, is there a way I can use NRT to bypass this without activating USB debugging?

I mean, I'll try to wipe / factory restore it, but if I can't get into the OS to activate developer options, I may be SOL.

Thoughts, anyone?

If the bootloader is unlocked, just pick the flash stock+unroot option. Boot it into bootloader and flash. No need for USB debugging in fastboot. But if it was one of the bricks that happened on 5.0.x, you may be s.o.l.

...thanks again, madbat. I'll give that a go.

I appreciate your help with my S3 way back, too. It's still going strong, thanks to you!

Also, make sure to choose the bricked option and not "device on normal". That way the kit knows you want to begin in fastboot not system.
