I tried to format something in Recovery (CWM) this morning (like system/data/ect...). What an idiot :crying:
And now it stucks at Google screen. I can't go to fastboot mode, or bootloader. Everything stops at Google screen. I tried to use Nexus 7 toolkit or Nexus Root toolkit to back it to stock, but can't. It requires fastboot mode to do this.
Help me, please :crying:
Everything is OK now, it went to fastboot mode magically, what the ... fruit ?!
Delete my topic, please, i dont want to be a spammer
No magic.
If you press Vol-down the moment that the Google (black-and-white) splash screen appears, it will jump to fastboot/bootloader mode. Doesn't matter where you started from. Same result from cold start, bootlooping or running OS, or in APX mode.

Hello Nexus 7 community,
Today my brother complained to me that his Nexus 7 (2012) was stuck on the new KitKat boot screen. I suggested he let it sit. Fast forward an hour and it was still stuck at the boot screen, so I held the power button down and it shut down. But now the tablet can't get past the "Google" splash screen and becomes stuck in a boot loop there. I can get into the bootloader with ADB and fastboot, but when I select "Recovery mode," the top right corner of the screen says "booting failed" and I am given the option once again to choose recovery mode, start, power off, or reboot bootloader.
So I'd like to ask if there was any alternate way to get into the recovery by bypassing the bootloader. I figure I might be able to re-sideload the JWR66Y-to-KRT16S OTA.zip to fix the issue. Otherwise, I don't know where to turn. This is a locked, non-rooted device, and I'd prefer not to have to wipe the data.
Thanks!
Hello people,
I have a German Nexus 4 and it gets stuck in bootloop whenever I turn the power on.
I've had issues with the phone since the last few months - i.e. random reboots, random program crashes.
But recently I tried to root it in order to install the Android L developer preview. It was during the booting process, when my Nexus crashed and it has been unable to boot ever since.
When I push all three buttons (power + 2 volume rocker buttons) simultaneously, I get the fastboot screen.
Choosing the following options has these effects:
Start --> phone tries to boot but gets stuck in bootloop forever and ever
Restart bootloader --> restarts the fastboot screen
Recovery mode --> phone shows the robot with an opened belly and a red warning sign (see photograph)*
Power Off --> turns the power off
Also, it is NOT detected or recognized by my Macbook when I connect the Nexus via USB cable. So it's impossible for me to access the phone via my Macbook.
*This is the screen shown when I try to go into Recovery mode in fastboot:
[can't upload outside link to image]
So this leaves me with no options as I never get further than the 4 turning circles forever and ever.
Is my Nexus 4 broken or is there still a chance to unbrick it? (I have a MacBook, so Windows programs won't work for me)
Of course it's not possible to recognize it when OS is not running.
Download WugFresh toolkit, ADB drivers (Universal) and the factory image. Enter fastboot, connect USB and flash the image
Your phone is not hardbricked, because it boots into the bootloader.
It might be recovered if you can access it with fastboot.
Try uninstalling all related drivers and install the Naked Universal Driver.
Thanks for your replies!
Unfortunately, the programs you mentionned don't work on my Mac (they seem to be Windows-only).
Also, how can I install stuff on my Nexus? Since it is not recognized by my MacBook, I can't load any files onto my Nexus.
And since any command on the fastboot screen only leads to the phone powered off, restart of the fastboot screen or the mentionned bootloop, I cannot perform any actions on the Nexus ...
Go to a friend with Windows.
Problem solved!
Somehow after the 1000th bootloop I finally reached the screen where I could wipe the phone.
And then it finally booted! Now all the data are lost and it's like a new phone, but at least it's working again!
How long was the boot loop? Was it the new boot animation from L?
Because when you flash L, the first boot up may take up to 15 minutes, leading you into thinking it's a boot loop.
My 2012 N7 is stuck in a boot loop. It is stock 4.4.4 and not rooted or bootloader unlocked.
Sometimes it will hang during the boot animation and start over, if it makes it through a complete boot I get about 10 seconds before it reboots again, sometimes a random app will crash before that (usually TV) but not always. That means I can't make any system changes (turn off MTP, usb debugging), or if I can do it quickly the changes don't persist or there isn't time for my PC to update the drivers.
I have tried restoring through the recovery mode multiple times, that didn't take.
I've tried using WugFresh's NRT v1.9.3 to use its "Flash Stock and Unroot" feature and after downloading Google drivers so it can talk to it during fastboot mode I was able to get it to attempt to flash both the 4.4.4 factory image and 5.0 factory image. None of those worked either, I think maybe because I can't get the USB debugging working. The process goes very quickly and spits back various FAILED (remote: Bootloader is locked.) and nothing happens, just sticks at the bootloader screen. Even tried to unlock the bootloader via the NRT in case that would work, got as far as the option to unlock the bootloader and erase everything, that didn't take either.
Every thing I've tried so far just keeps giving me constant reboots with all my apps and data still there. The Android laying there with his chest open is mocking me now and I'm stuck on what to do next. I need help or a point in the right direction, please I am running at my wits end with the blasted thing.
I was just given a Nexus 7 2012, it seems it's somewhat bricked. When turned on, it boots passed the Google screen to ClockWorkMod Recovery v6.0.3.1, on the scren, but the menu doesn't come up at all, and none of the buttons do anything, and no matter what combo of buttons I try, I can't get it to bootloader mode or anything else, so recovery toolkit won't find it because it can't fastboot/adb. Any ideas to rescue this thing?
Hi. During watching a YouTube video on my Core Plus, screen turned black and device rebooted. And it got stuck on Samsung logo with the model (not the boot animation, the screen where you're going to recovery). I rebooted it by long press the power button. I tired to get it onto recovery, after a dozen of attemps I did it, but I've been so stupid... I thonk that it's fixed, so selected Reboot->System... As you know, it stuck at logo again. Now I can only take it to download mode. Is there any way to recover with Odin and download mode? Uhh... I now have only HTC Wildfire alive...
Try to flash a custom recovery through adb.
