8GB Nexus 7, stock, locked. Picked it up to start using it today, and the touch screen was unresponsive. Turned off the screen, and the screen would not come back on afterwards. Held down the power button for 10+ seconds and the device rebooted, however it was stuck on the X boot animation.
I then proceeded to reboot the device into the bootloader, and via fastboot, unlock, reinstall the boot loader and the factory image, then reboot. From there, it was still stuck on the boot animation. I tried both JRN84D and JRO03D, both with the same effect.
Am I boned here?
The easy way - Time to replace the device!!
Just an update on this:
Ended up processing the RMA that night. Replacement was just received today. Cross shipping worked wonders. We'll see if the new one works a bit better than the old. I'll be picking it up tomorrow. :good:

Why does my N7 seem to get stuck on the Google Splash screen constantly? I rebooted it earlier and it got stuck on the splash screen, now I can't even get it to boot up. It was running just fine, just having a problem with my works Wifi so I rebooted...
It has done this in the past a lot and the only way I was successful in getting it unstuck was by booting to bootloader and "fastboot reboot"
Am I the only one with this problem? I might have to take it back...
Your not the only one it happened to me a couple times if i recall. Sometimes it would just stay stuck on that google screen which I am really starting to dislike at the moment. starting to miss my boot animations on my atrix lol. But yea a hard reset or loading bootloader usually fixes it. Are you on custom rom? I was on Clean 1.1 before mines went dark.
my shiny new nexus seems to be stuck in the boot loop of death...
it starts up, shows the google logo, then the nexus logo and then it just starts over... rinse/repeat etc...
i can get into the bootloader no problem, but since i have no roms installed my options there are limited to restarting the bootloader (does nothing to fix the problem), recovery (hangs on the google logo forever and does nothing, but at least does not loop) and shutdown...
again, i have no roms installed (haven't had a chance to yet)... this is pretty much a stock device with some games/apps installed from the market...
i got my nexus about 3 weeks ago from microcenter, so i have just under a week to fix this or i will have to exchange it for another unit...
so how bad is this ? fixable, or should i not even bother and just take a ride and exchange it ?
Completely fixable.
Have a look at wugfresh's toolkit if you havnt seen it yet.
It allows you to flash stock from bootloader mode which will wipe all your data, but fix the problem
I tried (clean) flashing a droid concepts build over on droid-hive a little while ago and everything went ok when flashing. I tapped reboot system in twrp and the screen went black and didn't boot. I can't get it to boot consistently either into the os or into fastboot. It'll occasionally let me into recovery and I tried restoring a backup and also just rebooting from recovery and it won't boot at all. When it is plugged up, it'll show the charging icon when I tap the power button like it does when the screen is off. I've tried everything I can think of. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Edit - I finally got it into fastboot and I flashed the stock google image. Its working now.

Hi. got stock unrooted Nexus 4, upgraded to stock 4.3. via google OTA upgrade
1. I was messing around with some app.
2. Suddenly the phone crashed and rebooted itself.
3. Ever since, I couldn't get pass the white "google" boot logo, no matter how many time I shutdown and started the phone I've waited like 5 minutes (phone shouldn't take that long to boot) without anything happens so gave up.
4. Power+Volume down brings me into Fastboot mode
5. Volume down to select Recovery in an attempt to enter recovery mode to clear catch/factory reset whatever, returns me to 3
6. Phone is paperweight. Want phone back.
Suggestions?
Edit*
I have submitted the phone for repair and the technician said the battery connector is somehow shorted due to manufacturing defects. What a bad impression from my first Nexus.
Reflash factory image with fastboot

What the first guy said. Tried going into recovery and wiping everything?
Hey all,
Just some details before the background.
I was running a stock with a unlocked bootloader for a while now. I basically only use my nexus now to watch netflixs and HBOgo. Got the tablet over four years ago.
This morning after it's nightly charge I went to unlock it and it froze up. I rebooted it, noticed the date was off (Jan 1st) and froze after I unlocked it. Reboot again, it made it to the screen where it was optimizing my apps but the screen starting flickering and having artifacts, and powered off. Now it will power itself off 5 or so seconds into the boot animation.
I've tried going into recovery via the bootloader but when I select it and hit the power button it just turns it self off. I then used the nexus toolbox to reflash a stock rom (along with a factory reset), and TWRP. I tried booting up again and same thing. I then went into TWRP and start troubleshooting, but the screen is starting to flicker and have artifacts, then powers off.
Is the hardware dead on this?
Sorry for the jumbled mess of details, i've been bouncing around trying to troubleshoot/fix this.

PIT files
My nexus 10 has the boot loop problem and I think I have been left with the only option of Re-Partition but I need the PIT file. Can anybody help or provide this file?
I have tried everything else (fastboot, adb, temporary custom recoveries, Nexus Root Toolkit) with no success.
Is the battery original? If so, it's possible the battery could be reaching its end.
