There may be a more simple way that I am not aware of but I would just download the stock image and flash it with Odin.
I had a similar problem before and flashing stock fixed it.

Glad you managed to sort it
I thought you did not have access to TWRP, which is why I suggested flashing the stock images.
for future reference, you can get stock images here https://updato.com/
Should you ever need it.

Error on installing ota 5.0.2 on Nexus 7

I got a NExus 7 wifi 2012 that was running 5.0. It was rooted, and used TWRP.
I got info about the updated and pressed install. Booted in to TWRP and nothing happened. I then pressed install in TWRP and in cache found the .zip and tried to install. Got an error.
I then booted in to android again, and flashed the stock recovery 5.0.2 (I guess it's like the stock 5.0?) and later I tried the OTA install again. Got an error.
I then read about the new "feature" in 5.0 about not allowing OTA if rooted, and I then in SuperSU completely uninstall the root and rebooted.
Later when I got the OTA update again, I thought it should work, but I still got the error.
What can I do? Right now I'm on a MAC. Can I in some way flash only the good stuff from the factory image, and in some way NOT have to factory reset the Nexus 7?

Even when you unroot, your file system is tampered. Only way to update is using factory images.
I think you can flash the factory image without user data to prevent factory reset.

How is it I do that then? What files from the factory images (unpacked) is it that I need to flash? Is it fastboot or ADB I use to flash?

I have done this with my rooted N5 and N7. You need to re-flash system.
Unpack the 5.0 factory image and
fastboot flash system system.img

I managed to do this now to. My biggest problem is now to root the device again. I've switched back to stock recovery, before I removes root, when I was trying to apply the ota.
Now when I try to flash twrp recovery, I get an error about the size. I can flash the stock recovery though, the same way I flashed system.img and boot.img.
What can be wrong? I do I get root now again?

Are you saying you can't flash the TWRP recovery now? So are you now completely stock 5.0.2?

Yes, system, boot, recovery flashed with fastboot.
When in fastboot mode, I get error, something with size, when flashing twrp. I found a CWM recovery I could flash, but it didn't boot to recovery correctly.
The twrp file is not corrupt. Tried it again and also a different version.

OMG. I'm so f-ing stupid. Blaming all the x-mas food.
Was trying to flash the Oneplus One recovery. Not the one for Nexus 7.
Hope it works better now...

fastboot, the proper way, or use an app like flashify to flash twrp.

im glad that you are spreading the proper fix for anything n6 related.. not. for a person who doesnt know what they are doing, using a root toolkit is the very worst thing to do. because they learn nothing from using it, same with you.
Use fastboot to install the images manually or boot into recovery and use adb push to copy a rom to the SD card.
The Nexus factory image page on Google's site has directions on how to use fastboot to flash the individual files.
So I try the ADP method but when I do everything says okay and when I try to enter recovery it flashes the google logo then goes back the the boot loader screen BTW I'm rooted and boot loader unlocked and thank you for the help everyone

you can not flash a recovery via adb(not adp). you have to use fastboot, while you are in your bootloader to flash a recovery. or, you can use the fkashify app(if you have root) to flash twrp recovery. oh, btw, you can not flash a factory image via adb either, that is also flashed using fastboot.

Okay so flash using fastboot while I'm in the boot loader and if I do that or flashify I shouldn't be returned to boot loader when I click recovery right

right. but.. every once in a while, after flashing a recovery, it wont flash but will remove the last version. so, what you have to do is flash it again. 3 times is the most ive flashed a certain recovery, but that can happen(not usually though).

Stuck in recovery after 4.0.1 OTA

Hi,
I was running Oxygen 4.0.0 and a beta build of TWRP 3.0.3 which works with new encryption. I used the android update mechanics to get the 4.0.1 OTA. System rebooted to recovery, recovery threw an error (zip file corrputed) and since then I am not able to boot the system. Whatever I do I land in TWRP recovery.
Things I did so far:
- Tried installing the full 4.0.1 zip. Install worked without errors, device still boots to recovery.
- Tried to get stock recovery, since another post (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/help/stuck-recovery-mode-t3532524) indicates stock recovery might fix the problem
--> stock recovery is not obtainable anymore. Seems deleted from all the download links I could find. Example is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/zip-flashable-firmware-modem-t3509015
- Wipe cache and dalvik cache in the hopes, the instruction to boot to recovery is there somewhere.
I did not do the unbrick tool, since I run linux and didnt want to fiddle with windows yet.
I did make a nandroid backup, so once my system boots again I should be fine.
Any Idea where to either get a mirror of stock recovery or how to fix this problem otherwise?
I had this same problem, and I solved downloading the unbrick tool and extracting the recovery from there. Here is the file
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwaafKaXbak3d1RFblFOWVd5eGs/view?usp=sharing
Also locking the bootloader worked for me. Booted into system then unlocked again.
Thanks a lot for the stock recovery. That worked!
Once it booted, installing TWRP and SuperSU again.

Does your TWRP boot correctly? I flashed it and when I restarted I still had the stock recovery, so I used fastboot boot and it booted, but it is stuck in the loading screen.
Edit: After rebooting and reflashing totally random, it worked.

Yeah, worked totally normal as it should.
My educated guess about this whole dilemma is, the system sets a flag to boot to recovery which TWRP doesn't clear and only stock recovery clears. Usually those flags should be in cache partition, but in this case isn't.
Tldr: don't use build in update mechanisms if you modified Rom and recovery.
