DON'T LET YOUR BATTERY DIE
You are stuck in fastboot mode. Easy to fix...just follow the instructions. Letting your battery die will cause more problems than you want to deal with.
[Edit:] By "follow the instructions" I mean the ones posted here:

When you say that your PC didn't recognize it, does it not recognize it add a kindle device, or does it not recognize it at all?

Go to your PC and go to control panel>system>device manager (I'm not near a computer but I'm pretty sure that's right) and look for anything that says kindle or android and uninstall it. Then install the driver package that was included with kfu. You may need to reboot your PC for it to worl

how do you know for sure its not recognizing it in bootloader?

When I plug in my nexus I can't do anything. The hardware buttons don't work. I don't see anything in the drivers when I plug it in either.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Well, just to let you know, you haven't bricked it. Bricking something means you can't access the device what so ever i.e. it won't boot, won't go into recovery/bootloader mode etc. As to fixing it, I'm not sure. Can the device turn off and on? Have you got drivers installed properly (was fastboot and adb working before this happened)?

I am sure you tried every option , have you tried adb reboot recovery command, when u turn on phone, or adb reboot bootloader. If the manual way does not work, for example when device is powered off (volume down then holding power for 10 seconds). Let me know. Need more details.

So rebooting isnt the problem but getting into recovery or even getting my computer to recognize my device is what i need help with. The entire thing freezes when im in bootloader and try to plug into my computer. So i have to reset by holding down the power button. Ive installed and uninstalled drivers through wugfresh toolkit and nexus 7 toolkit.

That doesnt work either. The thing is, I can use the volume buttons BEFORE I plug it in, but as soon as I plug it into a computer the tablet freezes and i have to reset it.

So ive uninstalled all drivers including the SDK and reinstalled everything and im still stuck at the bootloader. Im starting to believe that its pretty much a lost cause. Can anyone help with trying to figure out what i may have to do now.

If you can get into the bootloader, you're not bricked, nor is it a lost cause.
Since you uninstalled them reinstall the drivers. Download the factory image (nakasi) from here, and then follow these instructions to use cmd and fastboot to reflash the stock ROM.

Ok I will try this.

Freakin love this site!!!
OK, so i now have everything up and running after about 2 hours of uninstalling and installing everything. Turns out that my cpu (or me) was duplicating the drivers. I feel dumb for that

[Q] Nexus 7 won't boot up past the Nexus X logo

Today my Nexus 7 shut off because the battery died. So I plugged it in and left. When I returned it was on the Nexus X logo boot screen.
I now can't do anything. If I try to turn it off by hitting the power button nothing happens.
If I hold the power button for 20 seconds it just reboots back to the X logo.
If I hold the power button and volume up for 20 seconds it just reboots back to the X logo.
If I hold the power button and both volume buttons for 20 seconds it just reboots back to the X logo.
If I hold the power button and volume down for 20 seconds it boots into Bootloader.
From bootloader I have 4 options:
-Start: This just reboots back to the X logo.
-Restart Bootloader: This just refreshes the Bootloader but leaves me where I am.
-Power Off: This is the only way I can even turn my Nexus 7 off. But when I turn it back on it just boots back to the X logo.
-Recovery Mode: This just shows a android with his chest open with a red exclamation mark and it says "No Command". At that point I can only hold power for 20 seconds to get it to reboot to the X logo.
My Nexus 7 is completely stock.
What can I try? Any advice or ideas? TIA.

Sorry but what exactly does that do for me?
It allows me to install a recovery, which I don't want to do.
It allows me to boot into recovery, which I can already do.
It allows me to install a custom ROM, which I don't want to do.
What am I missing?

Its really not as complicated as it looks. You could even copy and paste each command. But if its something more simple you are looking for then look in the development stickies. There are tools there to do the same stuff.

Well you actually can't paste into a command prompt, so I can't cut and paste.
But it wasn't so much that it was complicated (certainly much easier than the rooting, unlocking, and flashing ROMs and basebands I've done on many devices), it was more so that it seems there should be an official proper way to restore your device like there is with many others.
Anyways I'm downloading the factory image and whatnot now.

Ctrl v will paste into prompt on linux. On windows 7 you just right click and paste. Check out wugs tool as well. May be worth checking out.

Windows? You sure can paste into a command prompt. While ctrl+v won't work, you can still right click.

Actually no Ctrl-V just gives you "^v", but I just discovered that right-click Paste works. I never use right-click so I never saw that, so turns out you were right after all.
Anyways I was just kidding about the cut and paste, obviously that wasn't what was holding me back from doing it.
Thanks for trying to help suggesting something else, but I've already downloaded the necessary tools for this one, and like I said it wasn't that I wanted another tool it was that I wanted an Official way to do it.

lol, ya windows. Like I just said in another post I just noticed that. I didn't notice before because I never use right-click.
And regardless I would never use it to copy 2 word prompts anyways. More trouble than it's worth.

I edited my post to say what I meant more clearly. Linux is Ctrl v and windows is just right click and paste. I assumed you where using Linux and couldn't right click and paste. Hope it works out for you. I agree there should be like an ruu or Odin method. I've only been on the nexus for a couple of days and it is much different.

Oh I see, gotcha. Never ever used Linux.
I have the Nexus 4, Nexus 7, and Nexus 10 and all have been quite good to me, this is my first real issue.

OK, no luck, none of the methods suggested here worked.
The method on theunlokr doesn't just says waiting for device.
The JROMFlasher says no device is detected.
Wugs tool says Fastboot device was not found.
Any other ideas or anything else I can try?

There are a few different drivers for the nexus. Sounds like you don't have the correct drivers. Download the android sdk and install the Google drivers from the
SDK manager. When in fastboot type fastboot devices and it should list your device. If not then its a driver issue. The other two drivers are "USB driver r06 windows" from Asus website and "universal naked driver 072" which I found on Google. One of those should work but the one in sdk should work.

I am very new to this but I might be able to help if you have USB debugging enabled on your nexus 7. I saved mine from a soft brick the other day, very frustrating, but I got it.
I am guessing your boot loader is unlocked and you are running a custom recovery?
Again hopefully USB debugging is enabled.
I recommend mskips nexus toolkit.
1. Remove the back cover of the nexus 7 and disconnect the battery. It's easy. Just follow the wires coming off the battery to the little black plastic connector. Once you locate it, use something small and plastic to push on the edge near where the wires go in. Push toward the power and volume buttons. Let it sit for an hour or so.
2. Very, very ,very ,important!!! Get into your device manager on your PC and uninstall all drivers on the PC that say android, Google or nexus. I mean all of them! Check USB drivers for this also. To many of these cause to many paths for the toolkit and PC to try and follow. Get them all off!
3.after the nexus sits unplugged for at least 1 hour. Reconnect the battery.
4. Get into fast boot mode-power/volume/up/down and plug the nexus into the PC. Let the drivers install. These need to be the only ones on the PC at this time!
5. Open mskips toolkit and check for serial number. Refresh toolkit and or switch USB ports on PC if serial number does not show. It will.
6. On the toolkit try option 5 first. Rename recovery.
7. Then option 6. Reflash custom recovery.( I had to do this three times).
8. Download and flash factory image.
9. Root using the toolkit.
10. Start flashing again.
When the toolkit gave me an error I went back and started over, this happened a few times.
This saved my nexus 7 from being smashed by a sledge hammer and thrown in the garbage. This was very frustrating for me but I got it.

I had the correct drivers according to Wugs, but I removed all of them (and dozens of other old ones from other phones and tablets) and then reinstalled.
Wugs still failed to do a wipe so I used it to unlock my bootloader instead (in hopes of re-trying to do a wipe afterwards) and then it finally booted up.
So it is now fixed. Yay!
Thanks.

Droid Pro not being picked up by RSD Lite

I've read just about every thread and no luck. I updated to a CM port by vanillaLVL, and forgot to back up.
I want to use an sbf to go back to 2.3.3 so I can start fresh with a better rom because his rom doesnt have good in call volume and messes up my bluetooth.
So far every thread about fixing RSD Lite will not work for me.
RSD Lite will not recognize my Droid pro, whether I use Bootloader, CWM, or Usb Debugging mode while phone is on. I have tried looking at every fix, but nothing works. Any tips on how to fix RSD Lite, or how to fix my phone to get it back to stock? I tried using update.zips but I always get an error in the build.prop stopping the update.

When i BSF mine i used version 5.6, do you have Moto drivers installed? also just in case make sure you are using a 32 bits version of Windows

I think my windows is 32 bit, and I dled the newest Motorola drivers from the site, but still doesn't work :/ my phone can't access stock recovery either, so might that be causing the issue?

Hey dude... Okay to start off ill tell you what you need... you need to download the base drivers from motorola and have a 32 bit windows computer... What you want to do from there is uninstall your previous drivers... reboot your pc then install them... reboot your pc... now comes the tricky part... take your droid and hold down the volume keys and the button on the right side of your phone and while holding all thoes down hold the power down too .. wait about 30 secs or till the lcd slightly lites up and let go a simple menu should pop up on your phone... now plug in your phone and wait for 10 min if nothing shows up unplug it and plug it in with a different cord and if nothing pops up in 5 min open rsd lite and your phone should show up... now browse to your .sbf or your .sbf.zip and start the flashing process (just click start)..... tell me if this works please!!!

Odin COM POrt detection

Hey Guys, Im sorry for the newbie question but I have a Samsung galaxy S4 thats stuck on the ATT logo and Im trying to reload the phones stock ROM onto it.
Ive gone through and wiped out all the cache and set it back to factory settings but that hasnt worked. So Now I have found my stock rom to upload it and ODIN cant communicate with it with the phone in download mode.
I can get into Recovery mode also but for whatever reason, I cant get ODIN to communicate to it.
Any help is appreciated.

If you're on Windows the drivers should automatically install. Also make sure its download mode that you're booting into. Hold Volume down and power button while the device is off and press volume up when a screen appears. Happy Odin flashing
