Guys I really need your help
I updated to 4.2 via OTA, my N7 still unlock but lost my root
I re-rooted with NRT, it recognize my 32GB external flash drive but can not read any files (it shows 0 files). The flash drive was working fine BEFORE the OTA update
I decide to uninstall Stickmount and reinstall it
But when I go to Play Google website I can not download/install it, it keeps saying error from server.
I try to download/install some other apps and got the same error
Anyone encounter same problem ?

Goto Settings > Apps  > swipe from left to All Apps > scroll to Google Play Store and tap to open > Tap "Force Close" then tap "Clear Data and Cache" > Open Play Store and enter requested information and try to download your app.

Thanks SPrime
I try and still get the error "Stickmount can not be downloaded due to an error. Error retrieving information from server (RPC:S-5:AEC-0)

Have you tried opening Play Store on a PC and selecting your Nexus 7 as the target for the install. Also, this the XCA-developers link for "Stickmount" Here.

I've flubbed up again... while playing a game the OTA came.  So I started the update and it failed.    Since the last update (4.1.2) I was careful NOT to delete any stock programs, thinking that maybe that would allow the next OTA to work for me; but alas, no such luck... I got Andy with the red exclamation point.

Can I force the update to come again with the same procedure that I used when 4.1.2 failed on me?  Do I have to go back to locked un-rooted to have the update work??

Thanks for any clarification!

I was able to install (side loading) Stickmount. Google Play kept saying that this app is already installed and would not allow re-installing on N7
After installing stickmount , it recognize the flash drive (OTG) Fat32 but said that there is zero file. This flash drive is readable on the PC. Both the OTG & Flash drive were working fine before 4.2 OTA update
Thanks for your patience with this newbie

Is it possible that there is an option in the DEVELOPERS OPTION menu you need to enable?

[dominic]

Thank You for all of your help 
I got frustrated  and use NRT to re-install stock image 4.1.2 and restart all over from the scratch. What a pain but I do need to use my external flash drive for movies etc...
I now updated to 4.2 
Can I use NRT 1.5.5 to root and unlock ? since NRT has only 4.1.2 firmware ?

Re: Google Play, removing your Google account from /Settings/Accounts & Sync/ should fix it.

You should be able to use NRT 1.5.5 to root and unlock.

Stickmount is broken in 4.2, probably due to the virtual directory structure for multiple users. Let's hope Chainfire fixes it quickly. There are multiple reports at xda and I can verify that mine shows an empty usb drive.

I was able to unlock with NRT 1.5.5 but can not root my N7 4.2.
It got stuck at the TRWP screen

[radiocycle]

Yeah, I tried using Ntool kit v1.5.5 and now I'm stuck on "Waiting for your device to finish booting back up..." which has been on my pc screen for 15 mins now.  Also I'm on the "Start"  screen with Andy on his back and his door open.  How do I get out of this seeming lock-up??  Anyone??
