So I decided to finally turn on my Nexus 7 after a year of no use. It's on 4.4.4 or something and I tried downloading the latest cleanrom and flashing it via TWRP recovery al;ong with the bootloader. It seems to softbrick - The Google logo pops up and it keeps repeating that until I power down the device and boot into recovery.
How do I update my Nexus 7, while keeping root from lollipop to the latest version, marshmellow?
using nexus root toolkit to fix
thanks bud, using wugs worked

I have GSM Galaxy Nexus running 4.0.1 ICS on T-Mobile and when I get the notice there is an update for the phone, I OK the update and the phone reboots and tries to install the update, but then goes into the screen with the android guy lying down with the red triangle?
I wait a few minutes and the phones reboots and I am still on 4.0.1? I have tried this three times with the same results. Any help would be appreciated.
Are you rooted? Custom recovery installed? Sounds like you have a custom recovery installed which is making the update fail case its trying to use stock recovery. You could pull the update from your cache folder and manually flash it via adb there are threads around on how to do it

For those who want to keep it short, this is the short story:
After updating to Bellybean, Nexus hangs on Google Logo. I'm with the stock Android System Recovery but going to factory defaults wouldn't help. I think I need an official ICS image to flash but how to have it copied to my internal SDCard (cache dir)?
Full Story:
I tried to update to Jellybean from ICS on my Galaxy Nexus and at first attempt, I succeded. However, I could not get the phone to work, to I tried changing the Baseband.
No luck with the Baseband so I thought I'd try another Jellybean update and it trhew an error. I tried rebooting and that was it. Only the Google Logo showed up.
The phone only starts to boot mode when I press both volume up and down and Power.
Now the problem is that I don't have a firmware update in my internal SDCard and when I chose to go to Factory Defaults, it still gets frozen with the google Logo.
I think having an old ICS Firmware in the cache path would help but how to get it there?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Fastboot CWM or TWRP recovery, then boot into recovery and adb push a rom to /sdcard
Why don't you flash recovery from your PC, so you can restore latest CWMR or TWRP created backup?
Download the galaxy nexus toolkit. It will have an option to flash you back to stock

And this is what happens when newbies using XToolkits. Seriously. They can make life easier for experienced users (although i prefer doing everything manually), but Android newbies really should know the basic ADB commands and what to do in cases when phone won't boot up.
Thank you for your response.
Trying your suggestions. Fingers crossed!
Edit: It worked! Thank you so much!
I recently got a GSM gNex and last night I decided to upgrade to JB using the OTA links posted here in the forum. I unlocked the boot loader, flashed twrp's recovery, installed SuperSU and then the JB 4.1.1 OTA file and everything went smoothly. Since after the upgrade, on my PC when I connect my gNex, I'm getting a "Fast boot read error" and my PC stopped recognizing the device. I switched to my Mac and got everything I needed done. Why am I here? Obviously I've been able to go into twrp recovery to do a lot of this stuff. But now, anytime I try to go into recovery mode, I get the screen with android lying on back with the exclamation point. I have to flash recovery (I've tried CWM, CWM touch, optimus prime touch) using fast boot every time I have to go into recovery. I tried going to recovery using ROM manager and that gets me to same situation. (Android on back).
Any thoughts?

If 4.1.1 is anything like 4.0.x, you'll have to rename/remove this file: /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
I rooted my Galaxy Nexus using Nexus Root Toolkit (v1.6.3). It rooted properly and I checked it using rootcheck app. it said me that my phone is rooted successfully. I installed sinhala language pack application and restarted the phone. Phone is not restarting and stucked at the boot animation.
I am trying to install android 4.0.2 using Odin3. system installed. but the issue is same. again boot animation is playing and not proceeding. please help me to flash the phone and make my phone a fresh device. my phone was working with android 4.2.1 when I root it.
A. Lose the toolkit
B. Lose ODIN
C. READ and do it the right way

If you are using Nougat 7.0 or newer, you must flash TWRP then boot directly into it to install SuperSU or a custom kernel. The stock recovery will replace TWRP on boot if you do not do this.
