Hi, my nexus 7 is dead. i cant boot it, and i cant enter recovery, cuz when i enter fastboot boot mode, the volume rockers dont work and i cant do anything. my computer doesnt recognise it either. This happened when i flashed the binary drivers of the latest ota, and the tab was working fine for about a day or so, but i decided to change kernel, and boom here we are. Those are the only two changes ive made. i have a nandroid backup but thats not worth much if i cant enter recovery. Please help me? what are my options?
Did you have a nadroid backup ? Try to go into clockwork recovery by holding volume + volume - and power .
Hope you get it going man .

I'd focus on getting your computer to recognize it in fastboot mode so you can reflash the stock images. Also this is NOT the place you put this.. This belongs in the Questions and Answers.
I'd say you'll get more help in the Q&A section.

Try to do this:
A) push power and both volume key ( + and - ) at the same time, if you get the boot loader screen, you are alive.

Did you flash a custom recovery? Or just root your phone?
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App
I did the Universal Androot method and went into rom manager and flashed the ClockworkMod and press the reboot into recovery and it only opens up the first white loading screen and won't get past that
When you went into Rome manager and flashed the recovery. Did it ask what phone you have? And what did you select?

NVM FIXED IT!! that was my problem
If you where like me who tried to flash the ICS recovery and bootloader only to get stuck in the starting kernel screen with no adb,no recovery and couldn't connect to the computer well here's something that might help. I found this app in the Andoid general section its universal flasher AIO by fonehacker and it got my tablet up and running in less than 10 min here's how I did it.
1. Download the app from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28719715
2. Download your HC recovery
3. Make sure you have a HC rom in your SD card prior to running any thing.
4. Place your tablet into recovery by holding power button and the volume down tell your bootlader starts and click in the fastboot option from the recovery screen.
5. After you extract the files run the app and click on the flash recovery option.
6. Find the recovery you downloaded and click on flash with fastboot wait tell it does its thing
7. Reboot into the bootloader by holding the power button and volume down button your gonna have the same screen as before but this time scroll to the reboot recovery option and it should boot into recovery.
8. Once in recovery flash your rom that you downloaded earlier and flash away as always.
I take no credit for this app I only used it to fix my tablet this app was made by fonehacker so any thanks go to him not me I only wanted to share this app because I no so many people are lost using the apx method and don't have there uid. If you need any help feel free to pm me and again I take no credit for this app all credit goes to fonehacker.

You mention this will help if you can't connect to pc but surely you need to connect to pc let the program run. Or am I missing something?
Yes when your stuck on the loading bootloader screen there's a also the option to go into fastboot the PC well recognize it then and then run the program and your good to go but like I said this is for the people stuck on the loading bootloader screen.

So my name is kinda weird. Sometimes glgps persists ans drains the battery. And I can't get into recovery. Here's a pic of my recovery. It seems like fields aren't filled in. (obviously i hid my serial) What gives?
thats normal, looks exactly like the ones I had, to get into recovery you have to hook up to usb
Your bootloader is still locked. You need to unlock to get into recovery.
Edit: Oops, my bad. You don't need to be unlocked to access recovery apparently.

It is a pic for your Bootloader (Fastboot Mode). Using Volume Up/Down, you can select wether boot the device, or reboot into recovery. When you selected what you want, press Power.
Also, yes the product name is fine : Grouper is the product name of Nexus 7.
first you need unlock

Sorry mods. Please move this to q&a.
Thanks to the replies. You have to have USB to get into recovery? No other android device I've ever had , besides the Xoom needed that. You just selected recovery mode from boot loader. All well. I guess all are different.

Plug into usb and use the volume buttons to select reboot recovery then power .. when the android with the red triangle comes up you hit power+vol up and the options come up, I'm talking about stock recovery not CWM pretty sure I read people couldnt get into recovery without it plugged up but I couldve remembered wrong

Cept mine doesn't. When I select recovery mode it hangs at INI (white Google on a black background)
If you think the recovery is borked and want to reflash it , download the factory image from here, extract recovery.img from the image and put it in your platform-tools folder on your PC in ADB and once you are in bootloader from cmd prompt type
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
that is how I go back and forth between CWM and stock

Guys,
@animal gets stuck on google logo, that means the system is also broken..
You got to flash back the whole stock rom.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
Do yourself a favor and download the Nexus 7 Toolkit from the Development section - it's allows you to do anything you need to via nice, easy to use menus (including downloading and reverting back to stock Google ROM). It's a *great* tool for the Nexus 7.

In Case Of Emergency!
Hey,
I guess I should have looked before posting in panic..
Just made a new thread, but I will post it here as well!
So, I got my Nexus 10 today. Super nice tablet. I wanted to root it and unlock the bootloader - unlocking the bootloader went fine, and I managed to flash CWM recovery. However, I forgot the enable USB Debugging under developer tools before I started all this..
My question now, how do I get this thing to boot again? And what is the smartest move now to root it?
Thanks!
Did you get this fixed/ sorry for the late response Tapatalk unsubscribed me from my own thread.
This isnt an emergency. But pointless starting a new thread. Ive come from HTC so im new with the nexus series.
What would be the best way to:
Root, install CWM, install rom and kernel.
Ive seen a few different methods, but i just wondered whats the best most efficient way. Any opinions on a rom and kernel would be great to. Stable, smooth and customization aspects are the 3 main things, and wifi must work as i need it for work.
Before its attack the noob, im going out soon thats the only reason i have not researched properly.
thanks

This by far is the best method to unlocking and rooting it.

Also AOKP is stable 4.2.1 with lots of customizable options. But CM10.1 is good as well... Less options to customize though.

I would advise not using a toolkit unless you really must (kinda see little need for them on a Nexus device, but that's just me), but here's a brief rundown of what I do:
- Get Android SDK (not the ADT Eclipse Bundle thing; can use this though but it's like a 20MB vs 400MB download)
- Download USB Drivers and Platform Tools from SDK
- Add platform-tools Folder to Windows PATH (so I can run fastboot and adb commands from anywhere)
- Reboot N10 to Bootloader
- Connect it to PC and install ADB Bootloader driver (downloaded from SDK)
- Unlock Bootloader with fastboot oem unlock command
- Flash TWRP with fastboot command (CWM I guess works too, but I prefer TWRP)
- Reboot into Recovery
- Wipe everything (might have to format Data at first if coming straight from bootloader unlock and reboot to wipe everything else)
- Either transfer the custom ROM, Gapps, and (optional) Kernel zips to a flash drive and hook it to my N10, or adb push said zips to /sdcard
- Flash zips
- Wipe Cache/Dalvik from TWRP
- Reboot and profit
- If your going to install a custom ROM, you don't need to have an already rooted device prior to doing so (you can go straight from pure Stock to Custom)
- My preferred custom ROM is rasbeanjelly and my Kernel is franco.Kernel (rascarlo mentioned he might release an update later today for rasbeanjelly)
- I hear AOKP (and AOKP-based ROM's) has a problem with the navbar in Portrait mode (as in, it doesn't show). Just something to take note of if you use apps that force Portrait (like Google Wallet or Ingress for example)
Ohh I will probs do it that way then.
I already have fastboot and SDK installed on my laptop for my HTC can these be used or do I need specifics for the nexus 10? Obviously I'll need drivers for the n10 but is everything else the same as I already have.

How can I factory reset when I forgot my owner password?
Embarrassing situation...
I am the owner of a Nexus 10 that is set for multiple users. I got bored late the other night and changed my screen lock from a pattern to a password. It is now 3 days later I still can't recall the password. My wife does not employ a screen lock so I can still access her "side". Unfortunately, she is not the owner and therefore does not have "Factory Data Reset" as an option.
What are my options?
Factory Reset by going into the Bootloader.
If your tablet is on, power it off.
Press and hold Power until the device powers on, then immediately press and hold Volume Down (while still pressing Power). You will see the word Start with an arrow drawn around it.
Press Volume Down twice to designate Recovery mode.
Press Power to restart into Recovery mode. You will see an image of an Android robot with a red exclamation mark.
While holding down Power, press 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.
Note: If at any point during the above steps your tablet becomes unresponsive, you can restart it by holding down the power button for several seconds.

Under Development Tools make sure u have USB debugging checked and have the correct drivers installed in your computer so it recognizes the device.

Hi, i post here because didn't find any other post open and about this problem... Is about Bluetooth earphones. In have two, one sennheizer mm100 and another Philips shb7110/10. My nexus 10 didn't see any of them. I use to use them with my galaxy tab (P1000) and they work pretty well.
Any tip?
Thanks in advance.
Is it just
'adb push romname.zip'
Then
'adb push kernel.zip'

Hi everyone
My first post here. I have purchased the Nexus 10, great piece of kit but today it just froze and turned off. I can't turn it back on at all I have tried:
Holding power button for more than 30 seconds (up to 2 minutes)
Holding the power button and vol down
Holding the Power button + vol up and down at the same time
Whenever I connect a power cable to the table and press the power button I see the battery icon on the center of the screen. Does anyone know what I can do?
Thanks

Look for the rooting, romming, and returning to stock stickies in the q and a and general forum. it sounds like you just need to use fastboot to reflash the recovery partition.
