Well, just now had to wipe data/factory reset, so have to reload all APPS. At least I got it back to working state ! So, what do I do now that I have CWM universal boot loader installed? When I hit power button to turn on, it takes me into recovery. Shouldn't it just boot up into cm7 ??

You need to take the CWM card out or it will always boot to recovery.

Just use recovery to restore your backup.

This is about the 15th post I've seen this week about someone screwing up their n7. If there already isn't one there needs to be a step by step video for the correct way to unlock, root, and flash Roms. I suggest others read heavily before doing any flashing. Its bad enough the boot loader is already screwy.

The toolkit does everything for you. All in one method and you're done.
I'm sure its his .img

I had this problem happen with my Xoom.
Boot into the bootloader from recovery. There should be an option to do so.
In the bootloader flash a different recovery.
Then reinstall your ROM. It should boot.
If that doesn't work I would suggest flashing the stock images in fastboot and starting over.

I had a similar problem on my og evo. Try seeing if you can flash the recovery from a computer while booted into cwm. Then it'll reboot into new recovery, you flash rom, and you stop sharding your pants

Even choosing "reboot bootloader" in recovery?
If that doesn't work, connect to you your computer and using adb type the command
Code:
adb reboot bootloader

I dont have a reboot bootloader option but when i go to reboot system it goes straight into cwm like i said.
Also fastboot/adb is not working. When i run a command it says "waiting for device" on my computer
Sent from my myTouch 4G Slide using Tapatalk 2

On a side note, i had tryed everything i formated the sd in cwm and now it appears on cwm as if theres "No files found" but on my computer everything i had previously is still there.
So there is a connection to the storage part of the device but not adb or fastboot

Hmmm. You should have a working adb while booted into a custom recovery. Are your drivers installed correctly?
Also, the reason why you computer sees the files is because with mtp it caches the files.

OP will stop making threads like this if people stop recommending toolkits......................
And definition of brick is beyond repair - unable to boot up, e.g. Black screen when power button is pressed, not even the Google screen.
Will the next nexus have a longer screen?

Well it was beyond repair for the moment being if i did NOT have access to adb, fastboot, nor the Bootloader i said that three times already.
But whatever i finally got adb to work and was able to fastboot flash a stock image. Thank you so much el daddy for your help i really appreciate it.

Sorry I wasn't trying to bust your stones. I haven't rooted yet because of all of the posts like yours. I've just seen more problems with flashing on this device then any other that I have with my past Droid devices. What we really need is apx (spelling?) Drivers and n7 files for a sure fire recovery from any disaster

Hopefully I don't have to start another thread.
I too think I bricked my Nexus 7.
I was having trouble and I accidentally cleared a file from the System UI app (its a system required app) which caused me to loose the 3 buttons on the bitten of the screen.
So I went to CWM to do a restore which said it failed.
After that it would not boot.
Its just stuck with the Google logo on the screen.
I held down the power up & down volume buttons and I get a screen that gives me that START button on the top right of the screen with the text in small size on the bottom left.
I can use the up and down volume to make the start button change to recovery mode or bootloader but activating them just goes to Google logo.
Can I recover or is it totally lost?
I also don't remember if I left the Nexus 7 in Debug mode which is usually required to perform custom Roms
Thanks
Rob

The usual really, try easy flasher to bring it back to stock and start fresh (back up first)... sometimes roms/kernels seem to leave stuff behind that makes it act funky.

Are you trying 'reboot to recovery? Are you also trying the VolDn + Power then VolUp method?
None of them work?

Maybe you can try what lethe said: going back to stock (stock ROM and stock recovery) and starting all over again from there.

Solved
Solved thanks so much guys I guess I didn't do the power volume down then up thing I'm good to go now thanks again all

There is no working recovery for it yet. The bootloader is locked and no dev is working on yet. They won't start working on it till they can get a Odin ROM so they can fix it if it soft bricks

[Q] [HELP] Bricked RAZR M computer won't recognize and deleted the OS

I tried to install the PACman ROM on my RAZR M. I was rooted, had safestrap recovery and did everything right untill it came to actually flashing. I wiped everything (cache, dalvik, system, and reset). Then I went to install, I Couldn't find the file that need to be flashed. I went through every thing in what I downloaded but it wouldn't except anything. Then i decided to reboot, not knowing I had deleted the OS. I thought "whatever, I can still get into fastboot and flash back to normal." Oh boy was I wrong! Now I can't get into fastboot OR safestrap. Also, the computer won't recognize my phone.
I used this PACman ROM download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2306377

PAC can only be installed via TWRP.
see if you can add it to your external SD card via your PC, then insert the card into your phone and try flashing it that way.

Try downloading a lower OS of android for your phone and flash that, then do a system update. Also PAC can be installed with Clockwork mod because I'm running PAC right now, flashed using clockwork mod.

So you have no way of accessing recovery at all? I was going to say that you could put the OS on a SD card and flash. But I'll look it up. I'm not exactly sure. I've never had the issue like this. Rom flashed perfect for me.

Yup, no way of accessing my recovery. The only way of powering on is to hold the power/volume up/ down, then I get the bootloader warning message. After that I get the safestrap boot logo which says "Safestrap Disabled". When I push recovery it shuts off again, and when I push continue it shuts off again because their is no OS.

Isn't PACman rom for unlocked bootloaders?

If your bootloader was unlocked, why were you using safestrap? And can you get into fastboot?

Right.. That could have caused the issue because PACman is for unlocked.. I'm running clockwork mod recovery mainly because for some reason team win doesn't work.. Either way if your phone gets fixed get a new recovery.. Safestrap is for locked bootloaders.
