Guys... my USB port is dead. Is there any way I could revert the kernel to stock and relock the bootloader without fastboot?
Edit: I'm running stock ROM... only kernel was changed... if that even matters. I'm guessing it doesn't. lol
Nevermind... issue is now solved.

Back to stock issue:
Hello I'm new and I have a nexus 7 with build jop40d. The problem is I only got a Google screen with padlock. I tried to follow the procedure stated here but I received an error when I type this in command line:
12. fastboot -w update nakasi-jop40d/image-nakasi-jop40d.zip
result:
sending 'sytem' <477136KB>
FAILED. <data transfer failure< too many link>>

Took me awhile to figure this out, given the new files, but it did finally work. Thank you very much.
Any possibility of updating the op to reflect the file updates?
