Sorry for my bad english, as it's not my first language.
I am currently try to make a Nexus 10 into normal state. Actually, it's not my Nexus 10, but a friend.
He is trying to root with Nexus 10 Toolkit, but it seems it's brick.
The current sympton is if booting, the X logo won't dissapear. I have tried to let it go for 30 minutes, so it's confirmed "cannot go to Android OS".
I have searched here and tried as many solutions as possible, but seems I can't get it booted.
I don't have much knowledge in manual adb and others, but I capable of using Nexus 10 Toolkit.
I own Nexus 4 and Nexus 7, and unlock bootloader + root + install cwm just find using Nexus 4 Toolkit and Nexus 7 Toolkit.
I am very grateful if there is anyone can help me resolve this problem.
Thank you
Before worrying too much, I'll admit that my Nexus 10 was one of the longer rooting devices I've every owned. I'm fairly certain my was stuck at the boot logo for over an hour before finally booting up after running the N10 Rootkit.
Assuming that this hang is on the last boot of the rooting process (i.e. bootloader was already unlocked, rooted factory rom image pushed and custom recovery pushed), your best route may be to hold power down to kill the device and then reboot into fastboot (hold power, volume up and down), then follow onscreen options to get into recovery.
From there you can use adb to push a custom rom image onto the device (pick anyone, they're all pretty sweet). Use the adb push command; "adb push custom_rom.zip /path/to/sd/partition", obviously replace "custom_rom.zip" with the name of the rom you downloaded, and if it's not in the directory you're running adb from, provide the full path to it on your computer. In addition, "/path/to/sd/partition" on most Nexus 10's will be "/storage/emulated/0/sdcard/" however, you can look for yours by running "adb shell" and then cd'ing and ls'ing until you find where your SD directory is.
1. Reboot into bootloader by holding power, vol up and down, and wait till screen appears
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 (this is the side of the volume rocker that is away from the power button for those new to the device).
5. Choose to wipe all data. Confirm the selection.
6. Reboot.

Do what this guy says. Getting stuck in a bootloop during the unlocking process is somewhat of a bug with Android 4.2.1 and is quite common. Doing a factory reset fixes it.
sorry do not know English.
Bricks Nexus 10, my device is unlocked and the root.
The writing google (open padlock) is blocked.
When I go into recovery mode opens TWRP.
Here I made the cache, Dalvik cache, factory reset and system.
How can I fix please.
If there is a person who write in Italian is better.
thanks

I unlocked the bootloader and flashed a custom recovery. I then rebooted the device. Now it is stuck at the bootloader (white Google logo on black background) and I can't get it to do anything else. I've rebooted it a bunch of times including with the vol + and vol - buttons held down to no avail. I've also let the battery run out and then tried to boot it up again and the same thing happens. adb nor fastboot see the device and it doesn't show up in the logs on my machine (Mint 13) as coming online at any time.
Most of the times I reboot it with the power switch it reboots to the Google logo even without me letting go of the power button. Sometimes I can get it to fully power off but I haven't figured out what combination of vol keys and reboot does that.
Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong? Any help would be much appreciated!
You are not bricked if you can still get into the bootloader.
Download the factory image from here, and flash it with fastboot. If you don't know how to do that, read this thread.
I wish I could get fastboot to see it then I could definitively flash that img.
I can't get into the bootloader and can't get fastboot or adb to see it. It's stuck at the Google logo now and when i hold the power key it reboots back to the Google logo with the unlock logo at the bottom.
Thanks for the help
You've tried holding volume down+power for 10+ seconds? That should power off the device, then hold both vol up+down down and power up
Ya I've tried to hold vol + and power for 10+ seconds and it reboots back to the Google logo even if I don't off the power key. Same happens with all the other combinations of keys being held with the power button. I can't get it to turn off now unless I let the battery die
Press and hold power till screen goes black. Then quickly press power+volume down and HOLD.

Tried that and still stuck at the Google logo. I have to go to work for a couple hours and then will hack on it when I'm back. Hope I don't have to deal with Googles rma process seeing how disorganized the rest of that company is
Sent from my HTC one s
No luck with any button combos but the vol + and power actually turned it off. All out of ideas over here. I'm thinking it really is bricked
I'm in the same spot. I can get it into recovery occasionally but once there it locks up after trying to flash or clear the cache.
I'm wondering if a contributing issue is CMR v6.0.0.6? I updated it from 6.0.0.4 that was running fine. But no fastboot or adb so that is doubtful.
This is frustrating and not a great start with this N7.
thank you

this worked. you have to be fast. as soon as screen goes black release power button then quickly, very quickly repress along with vol up and down.
You will still be able to get into the bootloader! Force kill the tablet by holding the power button for ages. Then hold volume up and volume down and the power button together, which will boot to fastboot.
It looks like a CWM bug as I feared. Anyone in the same boat try here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782932
Nothing has worked and I've literally tried everything that those three buttons can do. Thanks again for all the help guys. Had a great time trying to resurrect it but guess it's time for it to go back home
Just as I suspected. Google puts out buggy junk once again.
I just wanted to report a similarly event. I have a rooted, unlocked Nexus 7, with TWRP recovery. I have previously rebooted without issue. Tonight I booted into bootloader mode to check something and the hit power button to choose start. I got stuck on the boot logo. After finding this thread, I started with the simplest combination and held power button until screen went dark, then added volume down and once again in bootloader. This time choosing start led to a regular system boot. It's as if the device froze and needed a hard reboot.

I was attempting to boot into recovery and kept getting the 'Google' logo (I am unlocked/rooted with twrp recovery). I wasn't aware that one had to be plugged in via usb in order to *not* hang....
Any way around this?
Once I plugged it in and attempted to boot into recovery it worked fine.
I had a similar issue after using the Nexus Root Toolkit to flash to nakasi 4.2 with CWM recovery - just got stuck on the nexus boot screen, flashing in a loop for over 15 minutes.
I ended up powering down the device, holding power for about 5-10 seconds - then QUICKLY holding both the power and volume up+down keys, it then went into the fastboot screen.
After it was there, plugged it into my PC.
Now, this should work for you - assuming you have all the fastboot/usb driver stuff installed.
I extracted the contents of nakasi-jop40c-factory-6aabb391.tgz into the same directory as the fastboot.exe provided by WugFresh with his Nexus Root Toolkit (google search or xda search for this if you dont have it, i dont think i can post links due to my low postcount) - typical filepath: C:\Program Files (x86)\WugFresh Development\data
By the files in there, I mean drilling down inside the tgz to where the image files were inside so that files like bootloader-grouper-4.13.img, image-nakasi-jop40c.zip etc were extracted into the directory and sitting alongside the fastboot.exe - NOT in a subfolder.
Once its all here, running flash-all.bat (this is provided by google in the nakasi-jop40c-factory-6aabb391.tgz) from the command line or by double clicking on it from explorer should kick off the process. After about 2-3 minutes, it was complete, and my Nexus then booted up within about 3 minutes after that.
Also worth noting, device remained unlocked, but I lost root/root binary
I think I bricked my brand new Nexus 4 I was trying to follow the rooting directions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1993331
I was using the Clokcworkmod and I was unable to see the super su folder in the sd connection. and i rebooted it anyways. Now after reboot the phone doesnt start up It just hangs at the X symbol at the startup.
As suggested, I also tried to reboot recovery, which also hangs
I'm super new to this, anybody, please help

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

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.

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.

I'm new to nexus family too and had a lot of problems with it. (Never have problems but this recovery cost me a lot of time).
The solution is:
When you are EXACTLY at the red exclamation mark screen.
1) Press and hold POWER
2) Press volume UP.
That should show the options in less than 2 seconds.

Yeap, same thing, I press and hold the power and then I press the volume up, nothing happens. I even formatted the phone completely using the 4.2.2 image from google, nothing, the no command error keeps coming up, the only way to have a recovery is flashing CWM touch.
---------- Post added at 10:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 AM ----------
I've got my N4 maybe a month ago, I installed the 4.2.2 OTA as soon as I got it, the I proceeded to unlock it and root it, one day someone recommended to clear the cache of the phone using the stock recovery (which I thought I had / to fix another problem that I was having) I went to fastboot and tried to access recovery, BOOM, just an android laying down with a red exclamation mark, no "no command" error at all. I downloaded CWM touch and flashed it using Nexus Root Toolkit, that worked fine, but I didn't want a custom recovery and also I needed to fix a 3G latency problem that I was having, after some reading I saw that someone recommended a full flash using the stock google image.
A couple of days I proceeded to flash the factory image, I installed it, after that I did a factory reset from android itself. After doing all that I wanted to clear the cache with the stock recovery just in case, BOOM, an an android laying down with a red exclamation mark and this time with a "no command" error. Tried the trick of holding the power and pressing the volume up, NOTHING HAPPENS!
Right now I am using CWM Touch.
Any suggestion?
Thank you.
No real solution??? Sad...

Nothing, this answer is unhelpful
I have this issue as well. I tried to "unroot" my N4 (and Im a noob at this), and I think I did something wrong because when I access recovery mode from the bootloader I see the "dead android" but no matter what I do I dont see the control/menu. I tried:
- holding all buttons at the same time
- holding the power button and the down button (in sequence)
- holding the power button and the up button (in sequence)
So now I can not boot my Nexus, I can not wipe my Nexus and I can not access it from the PC. I was running 4.3 and I used the "How to Unroot Nexus 4 to Stock 4.2 Jelly Bean on Windows!" youtube guide ( I am not allowed to post links) to unroot my device (nexus 4), where I fail at 8:45, I simply dont see that menu popping up. Instead, my Nexus shuts down or reboots.
Please help
Is there no fix for this?
I decided to go back to stock to get 4.3. I flashed 4.2.2 using the Nexus toolkit and then got 4.3 via an OTA after this I rooted my phone. As the OTA worked I would imagine that the stock recovery was working. When I tried to install the latest OTA I got the no command issue. I can flash cwm recovery no problem. But when I try to flash stock recovery either via a toolkit or via fastboot command it does not work - no command. And holding in power and then volume up doe nothing. Any advice? I suppoe I cando a full wipe flash the stock 4.3 image and see if this helps. Has anyone had any success fixing this problem?
I have the same issue.
Even when trying to get to stock recovery through Nexus Root Toolkit gets me a NO COMMAND screen.
It seems like the recovery is not there.
Still looking for an answer - any help?

Seems that you have the stock recovery installed (that Android laying on its back with a red triangle is the stock recovery).

"No Command" issue solved for Zuum 9330
I want to thank every one of you guys. I had same issue with my phablet. By reading your comments I got ideas to try some key combinations, and factory reset my phone. Here is what I did:
1) Power down the phone
2) Press and hold "volume up", then Press and hold "power" button until Android logo with the message "no command" shows up
3) Press and hold "volume down", then Press "back" button then release "back" button and the menu will show up. Then release "volume down".
4) use "volume up" or "volume down" to navigate menu
5) to execute selection, use "home" button
I hope it helps someone.
If so, please tell me.
Total first timer, flash to stock as had messed up sd card partition trying to flash custom ROM, really worried when couldn't access recovery after stock flash. Thank you thank you thank you, this totally worked!!!
thank you a lot. saved my phone. i thought i will through away the nexus 4 but the combination of no command power button and volume up did well
Hope this helps, you press and release volume up! worked perfectly
Performing a factory reset may take some time, so make sure that you plug your device into a power source before you start. If your phone becomes unresponsive at any point during these steps, you can restart it by holding down the Power button for several seconds.
If your phone is on, turn it off.
Press and hold the Volume Down button and the Power button at the same time until the device turns on. You'll see the word "Start" with an arrow around it.
Press the Volume Down button twice to highlight "Recovery".
Press the Power button to restart into Recovery mode. You'll see an image of an Android robot with a red exclamation mark and the words "No command".
While holding down the Power button, press and release the Volume Up button once.
Press the Volume Down button twice to highlight "wipe data/factory reset" and press the Power button to select it.
Press the Volume Down button seven times to highlight "Yes - erase all user data" and press the Power button to select it.
After the reset is complete, press the Power button to select the option to reboot your device.
When you've finished, follow these steps to restore your data.
hello
after i try to unlock the bootloader my nexus stuck in "X" (with toolkit 2.0)
and the recovery mod is not work (Attachments)
I had the same problem when unlocking mine, reboot into fast boot and use the volume buttons to change the select option to recover and hit power, you should get a picture of an android with a red triangle that's normal , then try a couple times to hit the power and both volume buttons to boot into the stock recovery and then do a full wipe and factory reset (wipe both cache and dalvik cache just yo be safe) you may have to do this more then once, I did but it fixed the problem

Please help as I seem to have placed my Nexus 10 into a Bootloop state through Nexus Root Toolkit 1.6.8 by WugFresh. I have been attempting to enter into Recovery following the steps outlined here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239524). However, the tablet never seems to enter Recovery mode. At best I get a blank screen that eventually comes around to an unusable Bootloader. By unusable, I mean the volume buttons do not progress through the options. If select Recovery on a functional Bootloader and simply press the Power button. The tablet will cycle through to an Android with the red symbol.
Now the Toolkit no longer even see's my device even though Win 8 Device Manager shows the Android Bootloader Interface. There are no devices listed with the exclamation point warning symbol.
This is only my third attempt at Unlocking and Rooting a device. The first two times were successful on an HTC phone and a Samsung Tab 7". I do not know where to go from here and really need help fixing my Nexus 10.

Before discovering how to enter Recovery properly, I did end up flashing to stock. Unfortunately, I am unable to get ADB to recognize my Nexus 10 using Wug's scripts, even though the ADB installer see's the unit. I believe this is a Windows 8 issue, but I am not 100% positive. That said, I did further research and found another method using the Fastboot command line which did work. My Nexus 10 is now unlocked and rooted. I wish I had kept the thread's URL to the other method.
I wonder if my issue's come from not uninstalling the Samsung G3 through device manager as I did my Nexus 10. I did uninstall though the USB app found within Wug's, but that may not have been enough. That is certainly something I shall try in the future.
Before I begin I must say I've never used an android device in my life so this is all completely new to me. The only experience I've had was rooting and installing CM or something similar to an iphone 3gs a few years ago.
I'm aware a lot of people are having problems with their nexus 7 hanging at the animated rainbow-colored X screen. I've seen the suggestion to hold power and vol up/down to get to the restore factory default settings - but that doesn't show. Mine just shuts off. I've tried going to the bootloader screen via power+vol up/down while the machine was off but nothing ever happens. The nexus just stays powered off. Also, if I hold power while it's hanging on the rainbow X, nothing happens - it doesnt even shut off. In order to turn it off I have to hold power+vol up/down.
I have not rooted or installed any ROMs on this android yet. But I do want to. I am curious if I can somehow root and flash my nexus.
If someone can point me in the right direction on how to start this from a basically dead nexus 7, please enlighten me. I've read through a few instructional threads so far but they all start off with the nexus 7 being able to fully start.
Please advise.
Thanks!
Also, pic of device manager w/ error msgs from n7:

Thanks for the link. I tried entering safe mode, didn't work
- Press/Hold Power button until Google screen shows up, RELEASE Power button
- Press/Hold VolDn until Android has booted up
The device doesn't even boot up in safe mode. Still hangs on the rainbow x.
Got into bootloader using these instructions while n7 off:
- Power+VolUp while booting to enter recovery
- You can release buttons after you see Google on screen
selected Recovery.
It turned off then on, showed the Google screen, and now shoes an android fallen over with "No command." shown underneath and am continuing..
edit: wiped and restarted. can now finally root. thanks bud.
