So i recently rooted my device, and being the dumbass that i am, disabled the IdeaDesktop application. When I did that and pressed home, the tablet got stuck. So I reset it with the reset button under the camera but now when it boots the lenovo logo/music plays but then the device is stuck at a message saying "Starting application"
Essentially, I need a way to recover the device/reinstall the OS. I tried the hold power+volume to reach recovery but I think i'm doing it wrong. What other options do I have?

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!

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.
Please help me. I am in a sort of panic right now.
I have a ZTE Blade C2 v809, sold here in Portugal as Meo Smart A12. It was rooted and working fine. I was however getting some error 24's trying to install apps. I thought this might have had to do with using Titanium Backup to remove TouchPal (I did make a backup first), so I decided to restore TouchPal. There were however some errors in the restore and it was stuck there, so I decided to reboot the phone.
Chaos. Now it wont boot. If I press the button normally, the phone boots, I see the android logo, the screen goes black (Not shutdown black, a sort of light black background) and nothing happens. If I try to boot into Recovery mode by holding the power button and the volume down key, I just get the android logo stuck there, nothing happens. If I hold the power button and the volume up key, I get the picture of that laying down android with the message error.
Any more info I must provide please tell me, I am desperate for a solution, If I lose this phone I wont be able to get another one.
Okay I fixed it. Turns out the recovery menu DID work if I waited for a long time and tapped the screen. Used the update.zip available from the site, and it works like a charm
Yay, I bricked my phone, too.
I did something similar, changed recovery-from-boot.p name to recovery-from-boot.p-bak and install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh-bak
Now the phone doesn't boot properly, in fact it's stuck in a boot loop:
>starts
>shows white ZTE logo on screen
>restarts
Tried connecting the phone via USB cable and used fastboot devices & adb devices commands, no devices found.
Also tried pressing "power + vol down" and "power + vol up", nothing. I can't enter recovery mode or bootloader.
Apparently the remaining way to get in it's trough the SD slot, or maybe there's another way.
I kindly ask for help, couldn't be possible that I ruined this cell phone so fast.
Ideas, somebody?
I have a Verizon Note 3 which I bought a while ago. I have never rooted or otherwise messed with anything like that on this phone, it's all completely stock in that regard. In the process of trying to fix and recover my phone, I did the powered off version where, while your phone is off, you hold the home button and the volume up button and then hit the power button to get the little recovery boot menu. While in that menu I accidentally click on the "reboot to bootloader" option and now my phone is stuck on a screen that says "Downloading... Do not turn off target !!" I have been stuck in the screen for quite a while now with no change and I don't know what to do since it tells me not to turn off the phone and I am scared it will mess up my phone if I do. Is there anything I can do to fix this without killing my phone somehow?
Edit: My phone was fully updated as far as I know to lollipop.
Just power it off/remove battery. No problem because you did not flash anything.

Recently my s IV just went nut,
It keep reboot and stuck in a samsung logo,
which is occasionally fine and all we have to do just to access recovery, BUT!
IT does not work,, i cant access recovery by pressing the button, and the bootloader is also restarting which is why i can't use ODIN at all.
*It can't access to TWRP/Recovery and the Bootloader (Vol Down) also got bootloop.
Any tips will be pleasured.
Sounds to me like the power button is stuck.
Try to get it unstuck.

Hello Everyone,
I have a big problem, my new Yotaphone 2 (YD206) is stuck at the startscreen. It just displays the logo "Yotaphone 2", it is not frozen however, it appears to be starting up every moment, but just stays that way.
What caused it, is that I deactivated and activated Google Launcher 3, after that it crashed, and from that moment on it is stuck at the startscreen. I tried to hard reset it by holding volume up and power button, but there's no reaction.
I'd be very thankfull for any hint or advice what to do.
How long it will reboot itself? Just try hold power up or power down only. Hope when it self reboot, it will enter recovery or downloading mode.
If you're sure that you reactivated Launcher3 again, it should work. Go to recovery (power & vol up) and delete cache. If in this way it doesn't boot, I think you've to go to recovery again and install a third party launcher using an .apk from PC and pushing it with adb. I don't know if it will work, but it is the only thing I can think of before telling you that you have to do a factory reset wiping your data.
