I've just tried Paul's routine on my Nexus 7.  Got the reboot loop   Downloading the stock images now - hope that fixes it.

I did the unlock procedure first, then the de-rooting after.  It then rebooted itself once, and then went around in the loop.

Edit:
Redoing the image from the stock image solved the problem.

Ignoring my dodgy spelling.. fixed it... somehow.

I re-locked the bootloader, still asking for password, re-unlocked it, and it sprang to life. Not sure if it was doing that, or trying putting it into recovery before re-unlocking, but, I now have a rooted Nexus 7... now I have to hand it back and act surprised on Christmas morning.

I used described method (Superboot) to root my Nexus 7 HSPA+. Everything was just fine. Unfortunately suddenly my device started to produce very distorted sound (at 40% of volume and above). It seems that I need to send it back to Asus. What should I do to reverse "Superboot"? Is it enough if I just reflash it with the stock image?
Thanks in advance!

Stock image flash will do just fine.

I too have got the bootloop problem.

Please can someone give me step by step instructions on how to flash the stock image I have downloaded?

Thanks.

Never mind, I found this useful page:

[bbawden]

Cool, got it working.

[bbawden]

Oh, this is odd. It doesn't seem to have a recovery image installed. Is that right?
How do I get one, so I can backup/restore and flash custom ROMs?

[bbawden]

Again, never mind: I installed ROM Manager from the market, and that let me flash clockworkmod recovery.

Thanks.

After coming back from Asus following a repair I tried to unlock and root but faced an screen prompting me to enter my password to unlock the storage.

If you face this use

fastboot erase userdate

Massive thanks to Paul for this!
