You might get more help if you rename your topic title to something more descriptive.
Second, try searching the forum; this has been discussed in numerous threads on both this forum and the developer's section, along with how to fix it.
Try the threads about the update, or dialing a certain code to force it manually (that's where I learned the timing trick to get into stock recovery on the NS). On the screen you're at, try pressing and holding power, then pressing/holding volume up, that should get you into stock recovery.
Also, if you can get into fastboot, you can fastboot flash the CWM recovery back to the device. If you made an nandroid before doing anything, you can at least go back to the device's state before you tried the update.

i could not find anything on this issue on google or here
i tried doing vol up and power, but its still at the screen, and my computer doesnt recognize my phone

use the instruction on the topic to ROOT the phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875875
and in one of the steps you can use the ADB to push a good ROM back into the phone to be re-flashed

Try just pulling the battery.
If not, you'll have to use fast boot from the SDK. Just follow the howto at the top of this forum to flash original images.

thank you so much!
i locked my bootloader again, and i've been trying to get the 2.3.1 update, but everytime i do try, it freezes at the android warning sign. i also tried installing it via rommanager when i was rooted...whats going on?

any ideas what could be wrong?

Are you able to get into Fastboot?
I wonder if part of your problem is that you relocked the bootloader. (Why'd you do that anyways? No advantage, imo.)
Fastboot oem unlock will completely wipe your phone, I mean WIPE EVERYTHING, including the sdcard (photos, music, some apps' data, etc), but such a wipe might get you back to stock firmware and stock recovery, then at least you could boot up. You could also then reflash CWM.
Before doing that, let's try this if you haven't:
Turn off phone.
Hold vol-up, then press/hold power.
You should then be in fastboot mode.
The timing's critical (on my phone anyways) for this step: Select recovery, and have your hands on the power button and volume button ready to push.
Watch the screen very closely, for a bout a half second or so, the screen will flash a box with an arrow dumping out onto the android dude. While that screen is showing, press/hold the power button, then press/hold the vol up button. Important to do the power button FIRST this time (at least it is on my phone).
You should then be able to get into the stock recovery.
Once there, maybe we can figure out where to go, but we need to know how messed up your phone is at this point.
Once in Recovery, you could try wiping cache if it's an option, then trying to reboot. Worth a shot, but not likely to work.
You could also do the factory reset wipe in there, this one shouldn't wipe your sdcard if there's anything critical/valuable on it. It will reset all your settings and logins and wipe the apps you've installed, though. Again, might let you boot up normally.

[Q] Need Help! Bricked?

Ok so I have been running the Dexter mod version 1.2 on my elocity, and I got brave and decided to update to v1.41. After installing I am stuck at a screen that says "Booting recovery kernel image". I have been trying to find a solution to this, but I feel a bit in over my head, as I am quite new to this. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction of a fix if there is one? I'm not exactly a tech genius but I can follow step-by-step instructions Anyone?

Make sure the file size of your .zip is 104mb
Could have been a bad download.
Re-download, make sure to check file size.
Start from scratch. Making sure to do the wipe/factory reset and clear cache.
Hope it helps. Bricks are so much less entertaining than tablets.

My .zip is showing as 110mb even after downloading again
Since I am stuck at the "booting recovery kernel image" screen I haven't been able to get back to the recovery menu...is there a way to force?

If you hold the power button in for about 15 seconds it will turn off and you can restart the process.
Hope this helps you.

After it powers back up it keeps taking me to the same screen instead of the recovery menu...

After it has turned off. Removed the SDcard...Hold the button in for 2 seconds and release...Then hold the button in again till the message about holding it in for 5 seconds appears...Keep holding the botton in...DO NOT RELAESE IT till the config screen comes up...Navigate to factory reset...choose the YES option.
That should then reset back to factory settings. I would also redownload the Dexter Mod again, just to make sure it wasn't corrupt.
That should clear it up for you.

For some reason it won't take me to the 5 seconds message (it used to before all this no prob)...it just has the same "booting" message when it initially comes up and if I continue to hold down the power button, it will power back off instead of the config screen

Follow the instructions but hold the power and press the home button at the same time i tend to get recovery that way

Ok. If you got broken recovery and broken system too - you should use hard methods to restore.

[Q] Help! Tried to flash PA & now stuck on a loop

Ok, I flashed Trinity kernel with no issues, phone booted up ran great. Then I pushed PA to my phone to flash using the Nexus Root Toolkit and when it rebooted me into TWRP, I proceeded to wipe sys and dalvik and try to flash the zip. It failed. No big deal, some of my flashes have failed before on this N7. Not sure why, but I usually just reboot and press on. This time however, as it starts to boot I get a msg saying "unfortunately Setup Wizard has stopped" with an "ok" button, but when I press the "ok" button it just cycles back to the same button. I have tried powering down, but the Ok button sits on top of the power off confirmation button and so I can't even turn it off to reboot into recovery mode. Anyone got any suggestions? The toolkit won't seem to reboot it into recovery either, not sure why unless the ok button is overriding everything. Help?
UPDATE: I managed to get the trick of hitting the ok button fast enough to get to the power confirm button behind it, but when I boot it into recovery mode, I get the droid with the red ! mark and can't seem to get it to do anything else. I have tried booting into recovery from Toolkit, but it says I need to put it into USB debugging mode, which of course I can't do because I can't get past the failed setup...
UPDATE: Ok, I have managed to finagle it into resetting to factory stock ROM. So I have it up and running again and just have to start from scratch. But at least I am able to.

How'd ya do that

Hold all three hardware buttons for 30 seconds and the device reboots to the bootloader. Then, fastboot flash the stock image.

You can get to the bootloader (fastboot mode) FROM ANY STATE.
Read that again - from any state.

Just start again, sometimes it messes up, but you generally just start again with flashing the clockworkmod. Make sure the download wasnt corrupted by doanloading everything again though, although ignore the bit about adb rboot bootloader, you need to start the phone manually by use power + volume-down key combination to get into bootloader when its powered off and continue from point 5.

Thanks, I will give that a try

Relac, its actually pretty hard to completely bust these things. Dont quote me on that though lol

Don't freak out. I'm sure you're fine.
Unlocking the bootloader on my N10 caused me to hang at the X. Wiping data fixed it for me. Try the following:
1. Reboot into Fast Boot
2. Select Recovery using volume rocker. Hit power to select. You'll get the android mascot with the red exclamation point.
4. Press Power and Volume Up at the same time.
5. Choose to wipe all data. Confirm the selection.
6. Reboot.

So I didn't originally flash the recovery image, just booted into it. So I tried that again, but there is nowhere to find the SU_BusyBox_Pack.zip. I tried the sideload method, but ADB can't find my device any more. It shows nothing when I do adb devices.
what else can I try ?

Were you able to try wiping data through the stock recovery?

I got stuck after just booting into recovery as well and immediately exit. Just use the volume key and change it until you see recovery, without going into it, I just fastboot flash recovery recovery.img from pc, then factory reset.

[Q] Bricked my nexus 10! [Solved]

Please I really need some help! I think I've totally killed my nexus 10
I can get to fast boot but cannot flash anything. As soon as I try and say flash TWRP I get "FASTBOOT STATUS - DATA005fe000".
I've tried using the stock firmware and using flash-all.bat but get the same issue. The erase commands work, but then command to flash the boot loader gets the same issue.
I'm hoping I'm going to get flamed for not searching, 'cause that means I've missed something, but I've tried to search to no avail.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

That's how I got into this mess! I tried to unlock and then root my tablet.
It rebooted and wouldn't pass the nexus X logo.
Now I can't flash anything.

In the Nexus Root Toolkit it says that if all goes wrong try Odin.
I've downloaded a version (I'm familiar with it from my Galaxy S), and got the drivers working... does anyone know where I can download the tar files?

Did you get a chance to do the first twrp factory data reset? If not you may be able to boot into recovery mode and try a manual factory reset..
If your tablet is on, power it off.
Press and hold Volume Up + Volume Down + Power until the device powers on. You should see an image of an Android lying on its back.
Press Volume Down twice, until the screen says "Recovery mode."
Press Power to restart into "Recovery mode." You should see an image of an Android with a Red triangle after a few minutes.
While holding down Power, tap Volume Up
Use the volume keys to scroll to "wipe data/factory reset" and press Power to select it
Scroll down to "Yes - erase all user data" and press Power to select it
for some reason with wugfresh the first twrp factory reset failed on 2 out of 3 tests. I had do just do the manual factory reset above and all was well. Good luck! :good:

By using 4.2.0 (rather than 4.2.2) and trying the flash stock and unroot option I can now install CWM or TWRP as a boot loader.
I installed CWM and did a factory reset, then retried the above. This got the data error when installing system and then when finished got a file veririfcation error in the fastboot status. When I reboot I just get the Google logo and the unlock at the bottom.

Wow i haven't had my n10 long enough to help you much more. Sounds like you might have some corrupt files from wugrfresh download/install? Maybe download from another mirror and try again? good luck !!!! Keep me posted!

Re: [Q] Bricked my nexus 10!
Not to be rude or anything but toolkits are the devil when it comes to Nexus devices. They are so easy to root and ROM that anyone can do it. Toolkits encourage ignorance to what and how things are getting done.
For starters go Google the fastboot files for the Nexus 10. Google Fastboot.exe and add it to your system folder on windows if you are using such.
Extract the downloaded "manta....." File and then extract the zip file contained.
From here make sure you are in your boot loader and type "fastboot devices" ensure your serial shows.
Then one by one go into the extracted folder and erase then flash each partition EXCEPT the bootloader. Don't mess with that at this point. After flashing the recovery, system, boot and data files reboot into the recovery and perform a factory reset. It should boot from this point.
On Manta, you MUST do a factory reset after flashing the data partition or unlocking the device. For some reason it fails to boot without performing that step.

Yeah after my experience with toolkits I have leaned that the google sdk fastboot is the best method and you also learn the fastboot/adb commands and what's actually happening step by step.

Ok, given all the feedback, especially with regards to corrupt items, I dug out an old laptop and was still getting the same problems, re-downloaded the 4.2.2 image and tried again.... and was more patient this time, and voila! back up and running!
Thanks to everyone who replied, I would not have persevered without your comments.
Lessons learned:
1) On Manta, you MUST do a factory reset after flashing the data partition or unlocking the device. For some reason it fails to boot without performing that step.
2) For me the downloads seem to have been unreliable, try, re-try, cry, weep, try again, punch the desk until your knuckles bleed, try some more and eventually you'll get there!
3) Be VERY patient. I was less patient than my normal impatient self when I saw how super lightning fast the N10 is.
Thanks again to everyone.
