Nexus 7 Boot Looping - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone, I joined xda to see if someone could help me with my problem. So recently I rooted my nexus 7 using wugfresh's root toolkit. I then installed aokp after i tried out paranoidandroid......i flashed gapps each time. I then wanted the old tv style screen off animation and using that toolkit, so i extracted the framework-res.apk ...........and i don't know what went wrong. Now all i can do is boot into the bootloader. When i try to go to recovery, it shows an open android with a caution sign in it. it just keeps bootlooping the aokp animation. I can't find any solution....help! i just want to go completely stock and lock the bootloader. it wont work with wug's toolkit.

Are you plugged in to your PC using the USB cable?

Yeah. Using the OEM cable from Asus. It charges and everything.....what do I do? I'm stuck and stressing about it.

Don't worry we will help you get it figured out. It's very fixable, mostly take some deep breaths and destress. When you start to panic then you have more of a chance of messing something up.
What happens when you use the command adb reboot recovery? what's the message you get? I'm guessing if you're extracting framework you're real familiar with ADB but if not use the toolkit.
Did ADB work before on your same computer you're on?

reflash your recovery via fastboot, not with a toolkit. then reflash your rom/gapps. if its still a no go, wipe then reflash your rom/gapps.

The message I get is error: device not found when I use the adb reboot recovery. And I'm not familiar with it at all. I was trying to get that TV off animation and I was following a guide. This is my first root. So far....not a good experience.

Help me please

So I've been messing around with android phones for a while now and I'm stuck. I was on the oxygen 2.1.6 Rom then decided to make a back up. However instead of going into CWR it just went into fast boot. When I go into recovery it just says fast boot mode no reboot or recovery img. I tried to odin back to stock like I usually do but adb wont recognize my device like it usually does. Please don't tell me I'm bricked and that I messed up bad. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I tried reinstalling drivers etc etc. Somebody help me lol

It sounds like you flashed a bad recovery. Download a new recovery , boot into fastboot, and

Adb only works when the phone is booted normally, provided usb debugging is on.
Use fastboot. If you want to make sure it's working, boot into fastboot mode and
Code:
fastboot devices
If it's working, you will see your serial number.
If the other options can't help you get your problem solved try Odin.
www.samfirmware.com
get the right files for your device and Odin program itself. There are tutorials on here how to use it.
sorry I was being an idiot. I tried fastboot and it showed nothing connected. When I flashed a recovery it just hung waiting for device. I have all the drivers loaded on the computer but my device is still unknown and wont be recognized. I have all the odin files and I have used odin before. This sucks
btw appreciate the help guys

Try installing pdanet, that will install all the drivers you need for fastboot and Odin.

my one click works on both versions, as all it does it just gets you root. if you want cwm then use rom manager afterwards.
but for his problem no it relies on adb and fastboot

Maybe not, but it does include some handy files. ;-)
Download and unzip Shabby's OneClickRoot
Install pdanet. (See the readme for which one.)
Reboot your computer.
Then try using his version of fastboot.
I'm assuming you are in fastboot mode (it will say so) and that you're using the usb cable that came with the phone.
I will give it a go now I do have PDA installed too

Oops! I changed LCD Density and now will not boot up.

Hey Everyone,
So I was being impatient and wanted to change the Density of my LCD on my Nexus 7. I changed it from the stock DPI to 170 using LCD Density Modder on the Market. Ever since reboot I have not been able to get past the google screen when you first turn on device. I can get into bootloader as well. My bootloader is unlocked and device is rooted if that helps.
Is there any easy way to recover the device besides a adb, or fastboot method? If not, what are the adb, fastboot commands to flash the OTA image to device from my PC?
Thanks
Download the nexus root toolkit, it can turn everything stock.

I have the nexus root toolkit, but don't you need the device powered on to put in usb debugging mode, etc? All I can do is hit google splash screen and get into bootloader, recovery.
There's buttons that say revert to stock, I believe those work in recovery.

Whenever I try to flash stock + unroot I get error message, "Windows cannot find 'C:\\data\gnexwug_DLnX.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."
Im not trying to type in anything, all I am doing is trying to restore to stock.
did you make a nandroid backup?" i am goign through the same thing right now. I am goign to restore from backup.
To change the desinty, it must be manually done in build.prod i assume. LCD Density modder might not be compatible, yet.
edit: Crap, i cant boot to recovery for some reason :/
edit2: it seems the only way to boot into recovery now is from a ROM manager application. Ijust finished restoring using the Nexus Toolkit.
I finally figured how to get SDK going and restored via nexus root toolkit. Thanks guys!

Personally,
i booted into fastboot (all buttons if i remember correctly), then hit up the Tool Kit, go to advanced > temporary recovery, From there, i just restored my nandroid backup, or if you have any roms on there, just flash that.
You could do that, or once in fastboot and connected, you could just unlock, which will wipe everything.

Just using a file explorer (specifically, solid explorer but root explorer should also work), navigating to /system/build.prop, and changing the number ro.sf.lcd_density.
changing that particular number's easy, and the last app I tried somehow managed to make a second build.prop inside the same file. So yeah.
Don't forget to backup your build.prop (preferably externally as well, in case you need to flash it) before trying this. And/or make a nandroid.

Im not sure, i dont want to advise something that is wrong, but, no, it doesn't take extraordinarily long. How long has it been?
I would boot into fastboot again and try the other route (provided you have a rom on the device or hopefully, better yet, a nandroid)
If you're using the cwm recovery from the toolkit you must be plugged in to usb to access cwm from the bootloader menu. From there you can reflash whatever you want to fix it.

Yep, this is how it got it back and running last night.
I then used root explorer to edit build.prop and it worked like a charm.

[Q] HELP!! I wiped my whole N7 in recovery.

Hi all!!
I have a huge problem i think.
Yesterday is was rooting my device, and i was about to start flashing a custom rom.
What happened is that in the proces of wiping dalvik cache etc. I by accident wiped the whole system!
So now if i want to reboot, recovery gives the error that there is no OS is installed. If i reboot my nexus 7 keeps hanging in the startup screen wich only displays Google...
It still can reboot in recovery or bootloader, but i cant figure out how to recover. I tried with 2 toolkits, but no succes! I made a nandroid backup but this doesnt work either.
Also i tried several solutions but none of them helped.
Does someone know how i can get my N7 to work again?? :crying:
Wugfresh's toolkit allows you to flash the stock image from the bootloader. Just make sure you check the box that states you cantvpower the device up.
Mskips toolkit, chose the option to flash Google image, it will download, and flash for you, if not your doing it wrong, push comes to shove your going o have to download a custom ROM and use adb to to push it on to your nexus 7 then fire up cwm and lash the rom, your nandroid will be gone unless you took it off/copied to a PC before you messed up.

I tried all those things named above with both toolkits..
When i try to flash to stock it keeps hanging at some point, or i get errors. What am i doing wrong?
I will try again what jordaanooo mentioned.. hope this time it will work.
If it doesn't work, does it help to post some screenshots with the error i get, or where it gets stuck??
Yeah, try it, make sure you state you cant boot it, and tell us what parts it stops/fails at
SMH dont use toolkits -_- so you're saying you "could" get into recovery? Why didnt you just adb push a rom
Code:
adb push name-of-rom.zip /data/media
Then flash that rom?

pretty simple. if you know how to use adb then you just need to just a ROM to apply. wether it be the stock or a custom. once you know what ROM, the easiest thing is to paste it into your adb folder (usually platform-tools) and just push it onto your sd card

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 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.

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.

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

First. Dont use toolkits. No disrespect to the dev but it is way better to do it manually.
Second which recovery did you use?
Third what exactly did you wipe?

You can re install the rom by going to https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#mantaraykot49h and picking the image you need.
Just hold the power button and the both volume buttons down at the same time to get into the fastboot mode before you run the image restore
program. I hope this helps. Good Luck
Make sure you go down to the Factory Images "mantaray" for Nexus 10.

You download the file from Google and unzip the *.tgz into a folder on the computer, then you run the flash-all.bat from the folder you unzipped the file in.

Good advice but for a noob needs a bit more about being in command line with the adb and fastboot commands in path. I use Linux desktop. I bricked a n7 last week due to a dodgy connector socket/cable during a flash and had to type the flash-all script commands myself a few times til it worked.

On my bricked N7 I pulled cable reinserted and retried. Keep retrying each command in the script. Worked eventually for me.

Will give it a few last trys.
Last option,I'll send my nexus 10 with my uncle back to USA.
Will they charge to fix it?
Hi,
You may want to seek for the guide in the Nexus 10 Q&A regarding flashing stock again.
Can you please go a little further in details about how "bricked" it actually is? What exactly happened? There seem to be missing some important info regarding your issue.
Please be a little more descriptive and maybe I can help you .
