Need help with N7 & CWM - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Last night I decided to try MIUI so I did a nandroid then followed installation instructions (including formatting /system which I've never done before and could possibly be cause of problem?)
After deciding MIUI was a little too phone focused, I decided to restore my nandroid. However, now I can't even get into CWM. First, there's no option on reboot menu to do so and even if I power off and start bootloader the old fashioned way, it simply hangs on the "google" screen. I noticed also that once choosing "recovery" from bootloader menu there is no apparent restart...it immediately goes to google screen and stays there.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance

i had a similar problem. i had to switch my device off, plug it into my PC and reflash my chosen recovery.

That's the direction I was heading but can't do it from work. Thanks... Good to know that worked for you so I'll give it a shot

Seems to me it has to be plugged into a computer to get to recovery from the pwr/vol button restart. Otherwise when you choose recovery from the bootloader screen it will hang at the Google. You don't have to do anything with the PC connection, it just has to be plugged in. Not sure why it works this way, but it does. Just tried it again with mine.

Try the app "ROM manager" second option from the top will take you to CWM without the need to be plugged in to the PC.
I d/l all my zips and nightlies straight to my N7 and flash and update using this system. However, I wouldn't use ROM Manager for any other functions as is not updated very often.

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

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

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

[Q] no access to stock recovery

Hi guys,
I recently bought an Ideos X5 that was 2 months in use and it seems like I can't boot into stock recovery with it.
My device is definitely not rooted (Checked it with the app RootChecker). When I got it, I did a factory reset right after in stock recovery. I was able do get there with VOL+, HomeButton and Power. Neither this nor VOL+/VOL- and Power works now. I do not just reboot but boot when the phone is turned off. Android-Version is 2.3.5, Kernel 2.6.35.7, Build-Number ...B522... All I did so far was the factory reset.
Sorry I'm still not used to all this stuff although I read a lot, but seems like the more I read the more I get confused. Maybe it's totally easy but I tried a lot of things and none worked
Thanks a lot.
Try first holding down vol+ then power and then hold both of them until it either gets into recovery or its fully booted, depending if it works or not.

Should locked bootloader cause this? Because 522 has a locked bootloader. Atleast try to unlock the bootloader. There was a tutorial about this, search the forum

I tried VOL+/Power, didn't work as well.
Thanks though. Any more ideas?

By did not work, do you mean it booted Android instead? If you don't want to root your device, you should reflash the firmware, but back up your things first.
Yes it booted normally. Maybe I'm gonna do that... Weird thing is that I did nothing but a factory reset and 3 or 4 apps like games and whatsapp.
aaaahhhh I got it. Had to untick "fast boot" in settings. Didn't really know that this is activated... anyway, thanks.

[Q] Nexus 7 wont boot

I was playing a game on my nexus 7, it froze then when rebooted it it just got stuck on google screen. Read a bunch of stuff, went into recovery and tried to recover, it would say erasing but never go any further, just sits there. got toolkit tried to restore factory with that, now when it boots I still just get google screen but I get the menu in corner for start/boot/recover/power off. still never boots, when I try to run recovery now it doesnt even go to erasing. Ive read everything I can find to restore it, got 2 toolkits, unfortunatly everything tells me to put it in debug mode, which is funny cause if I could boot up and go into settings to turn on bebug mode then I wouldnt be having these problems... Can someone please help, Im good with computers but dont know much of tablets. I did no messing with tablet besides downloading updates when they came out.

My guess is no, I never messed with any of my system stuff. Everything was factory except for the updates it had me do as they came out.
How long you let it sit in recovery erasing before you rebooted it? Is there an option in boot loader or recovery for a factory reset? Beings you're not rooted I doubt those one click tool kits will work for you.

It sat in erasing for 1 hour and didnt do anything. I was doing factory reset in recovery.
As long as the boot loader starts you can recover your Nexus. Check this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796
If he can't unlock the bootloader then there's not a whole lot he can do. Run "fastboot getvar all" while in bootloader and tell us what it says please. If adb is seeing your phone in recovery, then run an adb shell and do "ls -l /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/" please.
Sorry I can't help further but I just got this and don't know much. I am glad others came in to give you more help.

Just sayin, I think you guys need to pull the back cover and disconnect the battery for at least one hour.
I am really new at this but it helped me save mine twice. I think?
After you plug the battery back in try fast boot.

AT&T Galaxy S4 Wont Boot into Recovery

I have a client's Atnt galaxy s4 that will not boot up normally and will not boot into recovery also.
when i try to boot into recovery i get the blue lettering in the top left and it just sits there i have let it sit for sometime like that with no change.
this is not my first go around with flashing android devices so please even give me Dev only options if that is what you think will fix it. i feel bad because he just bought this phone 2 weeks ago and cant use it. not sure what the other guy that tried to root it did and neither does he so i am shooting in the dark so any help would be great.
I have tried flashing the stock Odin package with no luck.
Also tried Kies Firmware upgrade with no luck
Most of the custom recovery for this phone from what i read are not flashed threw odin anymore, but if i am wrong please link me and i will give it a shot.
Dose anyone have any ideas someone told me to use the .PIT file and re-partition the device and reflash the stock odin package. but i have had no luck locating the .pit file for the I337 galaxy S4 could anyone grab it from there phone and upload it for me or any ideas on how i could possibly fix this issue.
Thanks in advance
Since you already tried ODIN, why don't you try KIES.
I tried that allrdy just forgot to add it to the list updated first post
Copied this from another thread, guy was having same issue.
EDIT: Problem solved by scott14719. Here it is: As soon as you feel the phone vibrate, immediately let go of the power button but continue to hold the other buttons until the recovery boots, then let go of them.
Phone goes into download mode ok?

if the os isnt hosed just download goomanager and install the recovery then download a touchwiz rom that has an extended reboot menu, you can then just boot into recovery from the OS.

If you can get into download mode and odin it should wipe everything, it should work. Maybr its hardware?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
In addition to letting go of the power button after the vibrate, here are a couple of other things that appear to have worked for other forum members. I didn't discover any of these fixes, I just did a lot of reading and saw where others have had similar problems and found ways to solve them. That is what makes the XDA community great:
Uppercuticus said:
I've had this happen to me several times while playing around with flashing. Basically (without fail in my experience), hold power+volume up+home as you'd normally do until you see the booting recovery message and let go. It will do one of two things - boot into recovery- or - restart and vibrate-. If it restarts and vibrates, immediately hold power+volume up+home until the booting recovery message pops up again and let go. It should then boot into recovery and you shouldn't have trouble in subsequent attempts.
It took me a while to figure this out and I actually thought I had permanently bricked my phone as the phone wouldn't boot and I couldn't get into recovery. Hope this helps.

After using ODIN, make sure to do a software (factory reset) to get rid of any data and settings that stayed behind. The firmware packages that we have for Odin, do not wipe everything on their own.

here are all the details;
Rooted ATT Galaxy S4 MK2 with Busybox. all went well until I tried to flash and boot into recovery. Installed ClockworkMod Recovery, tried to reboot into recovery...permission error. Installed Team Win Recovery, same problem.
investigated... Superuser.apk for some reason is NOT present in app directory. hmm. checked for root, have root.
installed ClockworkMod Superuser from play store... asks to update superuser... fails with signature error.
There seems to be no way to flash this phone. I have the original backup I made with ClockworkMod but restore fails with signature error.
The phone works fine, has root but I am concerned I will not be able to update to 4.4 when it's available. I am also NOT able to flash any alternative ROM. frustrating.
I see there are relatives to this issue all over xda but as far as I can tell after a weekend of trying is there's NO WAY to boot into recovery with write permissions being allowed.

nexus 7 troubles... no Google play (plus more)

So I have a problem that I will try explain as best as possible. I have a first gen nexus 7 that I successfully rooted a while back. I decided that I didnt want it rooted and tried to unroot it. Now when I turn the device on, the Cyanogenmod loop still comes up and when it gets to android, the play icon is gone,a nd I have no way to install apps. I downloaded the nexus 7 toolkit to try completely unroot it, but the app doesnt seem to see my device. I booted into recovery mode, but still isnt recognized. No matter what I choose, whether it be Start, restart bootloader, or recovery mode, the device will just restart and hang on the Google logo.
Any help is appreciated

So it will boot into cm but no plays tore? Flash the right gaps and then you should be fine. As for the other issue you need someone with more wisdom than me.
it boots into CM and the tablet works (mostly) fine... wifi works, all the buttons work, etc.... but the one main thing ive noticed is that play is gone and I have no way to install apps. And as i stated originally when I try to flash it back to stock, the windows app I use says the device isnt in the right mode....

You did flag a custom Android OS, aka Cyanogenmod. Cyanogenmod doesn't contain Google Applications -> you need to flash Google Applications separately if you want to use them ...

Thanks all for the help.. What I would ideally like to do is flash the device back to stock as though I just bought it. My problem is when I boot into recovery (hit power plus vol up ((or down...cant remember which)), the device still isnt recognizxed by the computer app im using to try flash it.
bampers!!
