Today I tried to flash an old Nexus 7[2012][Wifi].
I grabbed the latest image from the section "nakasi" for Nexus 7 (Wi-Fi) from: Factory Images for Nexus Devices
Press:
<Volume Up\>
and <Volumne Down\>
and <Power\>
at the same time followed by
<Volume Up\>
and <Power\>
to get an Android lying on the back ready to be flushed.
PRODUCT NAME - grouper
VARIANT grouper
....
Unzip the image 5.1.1 (LMY47V)
and call the script to flash all:
$ ./flash-all.sh
...

Note: You might need to add

to yourPATH
withexport PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
in case you encounter:
./flash-all.sh: line 17: fastboot: command not found
Let's keep our fingers crossed...
after some Minutes looking at four fancy balls spinning around I finally got the "Welcome" screen.
Hooray!
