root it! dont care what negative things ppl say about rooting. coz i regretted for not rooting my N7 earlier thus cannot make a full backup in case of emergency  cry.gif

Nothing negative about rooting
You buy a Nexus n not root it is analogous to buying a sports car n driving only 50km/hour
Unrooting is freaking easy too if one need to

Here's some clarification regarding bootloader, kernel and rom. Hope it sheds some light.

Bootloader - the frontline code that get executed when you turn on any android device. It contains instructions to boot system kernel. Every bootloader is unique to every devices. Some may contain advanced options to mod or debug. It also serves as a checkpoint between partition, therefore that's why bootloaders are "locked" to restrict access to said partitions.

Kernel - the middle man between software and hardware. For anything, ANYTHING that you want doing on Android ( or all other popular OS ), kernel is involved. It translate hardware input to software, and translating it back for results.
Example : Waking screen.
Hardware input : Power button pressed -> Kernel: Trigger OS -> OS: Power button pushed, turning on screen -> Kernel : Send trigger to display digitizer -> Hardware : Voila, screen wakes

It effects all hardware aspects, brightness, digitizer, processor, memory, OTG controller etc. Hence why a well-written kernel can deliver high performance with minimal battery drain.

ROM - Your device operating system. How your devices ultimately look and work depends on them. TabletUI, PhabletUI, bloatware, adblocking are all ROM controlled. ROM cooks ( aka ROM developers ) also optimizing their ROMs by determinating which app should sit in memory, deodex / odex apk, and clearing out bloatware from stock ROMs.

Additional read :
Bootloader
Kernel
Recovery Mode
ROM

A very good summary especially for those new to Android or simply do not know how to google search for such info

Still I can't find the kernel,would appreciate if you give me the link directly
*
Just download the any google stock image , eg nakasi-jro03d-factory-e102ba72.tgz
Extract it down all the way till you get say folder "image-nakasi-jro03d" and than you will see boot.img
Copy this boot.img in same folder where your fastboot commands are

Connect phone to PC in bootloader mode
At terminal command , flash it using fastboot commands

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Restart phone and you get back stock kernel - fast and easy
There is no zip file for such to flash in recovery mode. You can stop looking for it
Above steps is freaking easy - just a simple one line command

Guys,will this zip work if I wanna flash back to stock kernel? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1997474
*
Why don't you try it
Read through all the comments seem mixed feedback
No harm trying
Do a nandroid backup just in case tablet failed reboot
So far I see only you interested in stock kernel. So do us all a favor n test it
And read the thread last page there is another zip meant for 4.2.1 while page 1 is for 4.2. Use the right zip

Although I don't own a Nexus 7 (yet), but I believe it's pretty standard to allow your new device to have a full charge of 8 hours before using it.
*
That is ancient primitive grandmother type of advise given by stereottype salesman
Just charge till full or any level
Charge anytime n as often as you like
Those advise only for ancient nicad batteries

From where and where the download file is located?
*
What files you download and using what app
In each app , there is always option/settings where your downloaded stuffs goes to
By default most apps will download it to /download folder unless you have change it
Some apps eg boat browser default will goes to boat browser/downloads
Check your apps and you will know where it goes to
There is no standard answer

Any file explorer app will have cut/copy/paste function
What app are you using ?? Example Astro, Solid explorer, ES File explorer all these have

Try first switch off and restart tablet
If fail :

Boot to recovery and restore your nandroid backup
I hope you have done a backup
If you didn't do that, first curse yourself on why you never do it
Than boot to fastboot mode ; connect to PC and use Nexus 7 toolkit to flash back stock google image
Copy the image to the subfolder , something like " put google stock image here" in nexus 7 toolkit folder
Than launch toolkit, select option to flash google stock image

Fastboot mode:

1) Switch off your Nexus 7 tablet.

2) Tap and hold volume up and volume down buttons in the same time.

3) Switch on again.

4) The Google Logo will appear on the screen. Release all buttons in the same time.

5) Fastboot Mode will be loaded now.

I didn't do backup and reinstall my old Franco kernel,was lucky enough to get reboot

Always keep a nandroid backup for emergency
Use TWRP recovery n you can save it on external thumb drive n save space in internal memory
A compulsory step if you plan to flash more kernel or rom

I don't use TWRP,I use CWM only
*
CWM saves backup inside internal memory n takes up to 2gb space
CWM backup n restore is slower by at least 30%
If you have more than 1 backup you cannot identify which folders to delete in obb folder if you wish to delete any to save space. TWRP backup just one single folder

So if I restore the file,the 2gb will be refunded to me also right?

The backup data remains in tablet irrespective how many times you restore it
There is no such thing as refund lay!!!
