Hey guys, did a backup last night. Then this morning I wanted to flash an update to 4.1.1 so I held the volume down and power. Took me to the android laying down and I pushed up to Recovery just like before. But now when I click it it just shows the Google screen with the unlocked lock below it. I waited 5 minutes but nothing changed. Could anyone please give me opinions on what happened and how to restore CWM.
Thanks

Fixed my own issue. Reinstalled cwm with adb and now I'm back in action.

I have had my Nexus 7 with SmoothROM on it for a long time now, I use it here and there, but I noticed it acting kind of glitchy lately especially when using the keyboard. I got 2 notifications from GROUPER (i think thats the name of it...) saying I had an update to SmoothROM (v 4.2) and that google apps needed to be updated... I did the normal crap, wiped everything, flashed the new smoothrom, flashed on the google apps, but when I rebooted it just keeps popping up saying "Unfortunately, the process blah blah gapps has stopped", then when i press ok it says Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped".... and when i press ok on that it just keeps popping back up... will NOT go away no matter what I try...
On top of this... I tried going to fastboot and putting it in recovery mode but then it just goes to the main boot screen that says Google with a lock at the bottom, and it is just stuck there...
So what would be the easiest course of action here? I can't get it into Recovery mode I don't think, although I forgot how to do it in the first place, I thought it had to do with sliding the lock somewhere at the boot screen but I have tried that and nothing seems to work...
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
Update: I managed to get into the settings and put USB Debugging on
so now it gets recognized by my computer and I can view and transfer files.... But I still can't get it into recovery mode so what should I do now lol?
Should I be looking for something like this " Google Nexus 7 Toolkit V3.2.0 " ?
Use wugs to restore to stock and start over
If you go back to smoothrom make sure you download it again might have been a bad download

When you power on your nexus press volume down and up and power button together for a couple of seconds. Your screen will go off and then "Google" will come up. Continue pressing and you will be in the boot loader menu. Go to recovery and install the ROM you want. (Can you get there?) Or else try to install it from your PC with cmd. Let me know if the first way works.

Same here, I dirty flashed it from stock instead of full wipe. Always do full wipe just in case.

is the lock under the Google logo open or closed? if you installed a custom ROM, it should be open. if it is closed, the bootloader somehow got locked again.
however, i think the issue you are experiencing is related to gapps. you either have a bad download of gapps or flashed the wrong gapps (some roms require custom gapps). try the volume down+power thing to get to the bootloader, then go to recovery. if you can't, flash a recovery using fastboot or use one of those toolkits to flash a recovery. before you re-flash your ROM and gapps, i'd recommend verifying the MD5 sum, since that will tell you whether the downloaded file is good or not.
Sorry for the late reply guys but as it usually goes my ADHD got the best of me and before I came back to read this i ended up using that Google toolkit thing that I asked about and did what somebody said (option 9) to download and then install the stock ROM (but thank you!!) BUT in case anybody would like to know the lock was open and I could put it in fastboot but it wouldn't boot me into recovery. Hopefully anybody else updating smoothrom that ends up in my position will find this thread. I also suggest just downloaded the ROM and flashing it with the recovery that was my first time using that update ROM thing and it screwed up lol.
Again thanks a ton! Is there any new ROMs out there for the Nexus 7? Anything better than SmoothROM (or stock, lol)?

Rasbeanjelly with Franco kernel. I think it's the best out there.. I got 5k on quadrant with no overclock anywhere. Games play with no lag, it's very good

Maybe I'll try that... I'm gonna do quadrant right now I DLed it right after I got stock on but haven't tested it yet

I have seen a huge difference also in the overall speed of the system, very responsive and fast every second you should try it out

Hello. I have a problem with my nexus 4 randomly rebooting. I press the power button to bring on the screen but instead get a reboot followed by the powering down screen. I then have to power on again to get back to normal. Anyone else had this problem? My phone is unlocked rooted stock.

Are you uv'ed at all? That sounds like instability due to low voltage. I've had that happen before on wake.
Edit: I know you said "Stock" but I thought I'd ask.
No just stock settings. Logcat shows lots of errors that i dont understand including SPAN EXCLUSIVE EXCLUSIVE and Fatal Signal 13

many of those "errors" you see really arent errors. anyways, if you wantca log of a random reboot, you need to run a last_kmsg after you boot back up. itll show why you had a random reboot. if you rebooted manually after your bootup after the random reboot, then its too late. last_kmsg is produced by your phone when the device reboots on its own.

Already reinstalled stock. I was using stock with franco and thought that was the problem. I used toolkit to go back to stock but still have the issues (but it was ok for a couple of days)

Did you just recommend he use a toolkit?
Get out.
Use the real method.

Ok, good method. Try Flash PA 3.60 good rom, install custom recovery, download zip and gapps, stock no good, no customizations, custom rom best.
Went back to stock everything using fastboot. Locked bootloader unrooted no apps installed and no stock apps updated and yet still getting reboots. Decided to take back to shop. It behaved itself in the shop but they were helpful and exchanged my unit. I now have a model with the tiny feet

I have a problem with my nexus 4. I noticed that my phone sometimes is getting slow and then I can't do anything, and after a few seconds there is a System FC window. Only reboot helps me.
I use official 4.3, no root, even bootloader is locked.
Any ideas what can I do?

Try a factory reset after backing up everything, that usually solves the problem. You should try it in recovery first, wipe everything. After that do a factory reset in Android. Should work like new. I had problems after installing 4.3 (FC, lags and playstore not working) the factory reset solved it.
Oh, I hope it'll help me.

I went to update my n7 to 4.4. I downloaded the factory images and did the fastboot bootloader on the bootloader image. Once that was done I ran fastboot update -w on the Nakasi image. It seemed to be running but was taking a very long time (> an hour ) . It would periodically print status updates, I believe the last one I saw was sending boot OK.
About 90 minutes into it, my laptops battery died. That was late last night... This morning I tried to turn the n7 on and it appears to be unresponsive. I've tried the power button as well as the vol down + power button but so far no sign of life. I plugged the n7 in to charge before I left the house this morning but I tried turning it on again after it had been charging for a half hour or so but no luck....
Am I screwed?

Sounds like it. I also used both N4/N7 factory images and it does take a while, not like an hour or anything.
Now, can you tell me one thing, did it already flash the bootloader image? And are you sure you downloaded the one for the right nexus 7?
ex, Nexus 7 2012 wifi only = Nakasi/Grouper
Nexus 4 2012 = mako/occam
Nexus 7 2012 3G only = Nakasig
Yep it was grouper... Flashed the bootloader first which went fairly quickly and seemed successful

Did you not have the 4.23 bootloader?
In fastboot should have just flashed the factory boot IMG then system IMG on top of the 4.3 stock

It's alive! Came home and it booted right up. Oddly it booted into 4.3 JWR66V when before I attempted the flash I was at 66Y... But whatever I'm just happy it booted. Guess I need to try a different approach for updating to 4.4

Hey everyone. So I thought that I would flash CM11 to my Nexus 10 last night, coming from CM10.2 via CWM. Well something happened and it wouldn't let me flash it, it said status 7 and install aborted.,I backed everything up, so no big deal right? Wrong! My backup says MD5 mismatch. So now my tablet won't boot past Google screen, except for into CWM. What can I do to fix this? I only have access to a mac computer.

have you tried the Nexus Root Toolkit? You can flash stock rom from it with just one click. I'm not sure if it works on mac, but give it a try, it's in the development section
I did just that! Thanks.
