Okay so i was watching a video on youtube on how to get cm10 on my nexus 7, i bought the nexus 7 off a friend who rooted it for me and he had clockword recovery or whatever you call it set up on it. So the video said to download rom manager and then i went to download and downloaded the stable cm10 with gapps. Then it rebooted and what not and now its been stuck in the cyanogenmod spinning circle start up for about 2-3 hours now. So i held the volume and power button to get to the fastboot thing and shut the nexus off and then i restarted it and then.. the google sign came with the unlock icon and then the cyanogenmod circle came again -.- Please help if you can, sorry if any of this doesnt make any sense im new to all this. Thankyou in advance.
Power off fully, then hold the Vol+Pwr buttons down until it goes to the fastboot menu. Vol down to select recovery. I would do a factory reset and reflash the ROM + gapps.

Yea i did that right, it goes into the fastboot menu and i go to recovery mode. And when i click the power button, all that happens is that the black screen with google and the unlocked logo show up, and it stayed like that for like 2 hours again -.-
Do you know why that happens?
If you reflashed the rom I'm guessing a bad download.
ETA: Did you make a nandroid before installing? If so restore that.
Oh okay. So u suggested to do a hard reset. How exactly can i do that? My nexus wont load past the load up screen, on some occasions it goes past the google and unlock logo but then a cyanoggenmod spinning circle thing comes and then that just stays there.
Go to the bootloader (vol dwn+pwr), and plug into computer. Then select recovery mode.
Do a factory reset from there. Then reinstall CM10.

Oh okay, actually im really glad u just said this because i just tried this way. I powered off my tablet, then turned it on with vol dwn and power to get into the bootloader. Then i plugged my tablet into my laptop and now the volume keys wont let me scroll down to recovery mode. Pretty much the volume button becomes useless to scroll. Any help?
If the Vol buttons aren't working I'm out of ideas besides: try again? Otherwise you're going to have to wait for someone smarter than me. Sorry.
ETA: Found this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796 Maybe it'll help you.
wait do i have to have the latest drivers for nexus 7 installed on my pc b4 i plug it in? If you do know, let me know where i can find them. If you dont no worries ill wait for someone else, thanks for your help so far.
Hey don't know if you got your Nexus working again but I saw this thread about the buttons not working. Not sure what version bootloader you have.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840675
Make sure you wipe the Cache and Dalvik Cache!!
When I first flashed CM, I got the infinite boot animation as well. I rebooted into recovery, did a wipe of my caches, and it was fine from that point on.
Also, when going from one rom from another, you gotta do a factory reset if you didn't already.
Yea I forgot to clear all the data.. nvr again but I can't get into recovery thats the problem. I have the 3.34 bootloader and it doesn't go to recovery and I tried plugging into my pc and then the volume rockers become useless. Any help plz?

I had the same problem this morning. After about an hour of messing with stuff I used mskip's toolkit to uninstall then reinstall the drivers. I
then rebooted into the bootloader without a cable and then connected the cable and the buttons were still responding. After that I updated
the bootloader to the latest release and I was about to boot into recovery.

Hi guys, i spent alot of time figuring out how to get CM9 on my phone and finally i got version 0.3.2 from http://www.jokersax.com/developer-pages/jokersax/cyanogenmod-9-atrix/ installed. After doing so in CWM i restarted my device and my phone gets stuck in the boot animation screen. Any Idea how to get out of here?
Flash again with no wipe. Should work.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
What do you mean no wipe?
Also I'm not sure how i can boot into CWM without clicking it from the app.
take battery out/in
restart phone, keeping volume down pressed in
keep on pressing volume down till you see android recovery
press volume up
wipe data
wipe cache
restart sytem and see if the phone boots up
if not repeat steps and install previolusly used? rom
Holding volume down just starts fastboot protocol for me. And hold up starts the RSD protocol.
EDIT: nvm i figured out how to get into recovery
Double EDIT: barry_ 's suggestion worked.
I was in ROM Toolbox, went to 'Icon Changer', and installed a new battery icon. Now my Android system will not display any notification bar or soft buttons.
It backed up the files before I installed but I have no idea how to access that backup!
Please help. Very much appreciated!
If you have a recent nandroid back-up i'd restore that. Not really sure where RomToolbox stores it's backups tho.
Just realized my Nexus will not boot into recovery. I am in much more trouble than I thought I'd ever be. It gets stuck at the Google logo.

Connect it to a computer then from bootloader select recovery. If you're currently stuck at google screen press and hold power button as long as it takes to turn it off then press both volume buttons as it turns back on.

It only gets stuck when I try to enter recovery, If I turn off/on normally it's fine (without status bar or soft buttons). I'll try what you said though.
NOoooooooooo.... Factory reset did not restore the status bar and soft buttons. Now what?!?!
If factory reset didn't work and you can't access the recovery I imagine the next step would be to flash a stock image. Search for how to do that, I haven't done much research on the nexus phones

Its a bit extreme but you could try restoring to a virgin image using Nexus Root Toolkit

Everything is working now. So relieved. Thanks so much. I was watching a YouTube video of how to do it the very long way (d/l'ing the sdk, etc), and this right here saved me much time.

Okay so I seem to have run into a little problem I was planning on updating cleanrom up to 1.2.5 but was on cwm. I had managed to switch over successfully to twrp 2.2.0. I went ahead and used goo manager to download the updated zip of 2.2.1 and tried flashing it thru twrp. Now I am stuck in google bootloop and cant get into recovery or more importantly bootloader. I have been trying last 30mins to hold power and both volume buttons but it either keeps rebooting back to the google screen or not doing anything at all just have to repress to to turn it off but it will turn back on automatically. I tried hooking it up to my usb and labtop but it looks like it wont even recognize it. I just fully charged it so I am good for now just a little worried cant get out of this mess.
I ran into a problem like that with clockwork recovery it kept on rebooting in recovery but I could still go into download mode I was at work away from my computer so I had no choice but to keep trying that three button magic until it finally restored a backup I had on my external card.just keep on trying to pull the battery then try to go into recovery. You might 've gotten a bad download

problem is I cant get into recovery. or the green screen to get to bootloader. It just completely stuck in a bootloop on the google screen mocking me... I am really contemplating opening it up and taking out battery but is that a good idea? Or is there anything else I can do?
so I pulled off the back cover but really dont want o disconnect the battery might mess something up but I cannot get the device to shut off.
disconnecting the battery does nothing it shuts it off and keeps it off but when I connect it to the charger the battery symbol pops up for a second and then goes completely blank. I went ahead and tried again to boot into bootloader pressing power vol up + down and all combinations of power vol -, power vol +
power turbo press vol +/- but no luck still in google screen.
If you're in a bootloop you need to connect your Nexus 7 to a computer. Then you will be able to access recovery via the Power button and volume buttons.
is it going to make a difference that everytime i try to reboot it just the black google screen? I have tried it connected to the wall charger and connected usb to the labtop but nothing.

It's supposed to do that when you're trying to go to recovery from bootloader without the USB cable plugged into a computer, may need to have the drivers installed on said computer. It's an issue with the nexus 7 bootloader and every one of them does it. What your experiencing is perfectly normal if you tried to go to recovery from bootloader with the bolume buttons and then got the google screen bootloop.
If it doesn't work when you plug it in and try, then try unplugging it, manually rebooting with it plugged in first, or vice versa
Update: I can get on Team Viewer and remotely reboot you into recovery through the PC if you want, or at least give it my best shot.
ok so i disconnected battery and have the device off. I should then try connecting it to the pc and try booting up holding down all buttons?

Have you installed the right drivers on the computer you're using, for ADB and the device drivers, when you unlocked and rooted?
Answer to your question is yes try that. But I wouldn't be disconnecting and reconnecting it, I can't recommend that and then learn tomorrow that static zapped something important.
yea I am getting nothing by connecting to pc. I have all the drivers adb and fastboot installed when I rooted and unlocked couple weeks back but it looks like device is not being recognized or read at all by the pc.
connecting to the pc holding the volume + button gets it recognized for a second and tries to install a driver apx but unsuccessfully.
I am not making any progress whatsoever kinda sucks starting the weekend like this. I have gone thru some bad stuff with my atrix but nothing like this were I cant even access my bootloader boot into recovery or even fastboot. Should I try and get it to just stay off and see if overnight it works its own magic? Hate going to sleep witht his on my mind but I think with a clear mind in the morning something good will happen.
I can get it to stay off by holding both vol+ and vol- but trying to turn it off with just the power button just keeps it turning back on/off...
so I slepted on it thru the night let the tablet rest but went back this morning and I still cant get into bootloader or recovery. Is there anything I can do?
Has anyone else had this problem where they cant boot into recovery or bootloader? It's like the power button and vol keys are unresponsive even though they still work to turn on the device.
are you sure that you flashed the right recovery? but you should still be able to get the bootloader. are you pressing power + volume down(volume down, not both volume buttons. i noticed you wrote both volume buttons) to get into the bootloader?
I think I chose the right recovery the first version downloaded thru goo manager but it was the 2.2.0 version. I had the option on the of downloading the 2.2.1 zip or the .img but i downloaded the .img to just to flash with the current version of twrp that was working. There have been times were I have not been able to get into recovery on my atrix or htc but I've always been able to get into the bootloader this is the first time I've been locked out of my device kind of got me scared its not even a month old. So you say to get into bootloader you dont have to hold down both volume buttons? I will try again to power back up using the volume down and power button at same time... Wish me luck

yea, only power button and the volume down button.
quick question before I connect the battery does it make a difference whether or not I have it plugged in charging or connected to the PC while trying to boot into bootloader?
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.

When you hold these two buttons and you see the LG logo, release and hold them again fast until you see factory reset screen. At this point press the power key three times and you will go to recovery. An press the thanks button here.

I think you have have to hold for 5 seconds to completely power down.
Hold vol- and power key and when logo pops up release power key and again hold power key then Reset screen should display. Press power until it starts factory reset which will dump you into Recovery.
