[Q] N7 doesn't go past Google logo

I was running an August MIUIAndroid ROM release, with no other modifications.
Downloaded the latest 12/10 release and placed it on my Internal SD. Rebooted to recovery, wiped cache, wiped dalvik cache and flashed the release.
Rebooted tablet, wherein it passed the Google logo and then just stayed blank.
Pressed volume up/down and power for a few seconds, went into fastboot. Tried to go into recovery by selecting that option in fastboot menu, tablet restarts and stays at the Google logo.
Went back into fastboot, connected the tablet to my PC with a view to using mskip's toolkit. PC doesn't recognise the tablet despite drivers being present, and the tablet becomes unresponsive in fastboot mode (can't move between menu options with volume buttons and even on disconnecting USB, have to long press power to restart).
Any help would be appreciated as I'm unsure whether ASUS will honour the warranty...

You said you can still go to bootloader, then try do manual boot(fastboot boot nameofcustomrecovery.img) and restore your backup(that is if you have any).

Easy
Connect it to the PC (better use the one you used in the past, with all the drivers... also use the cable that came with it)
turn it on spamming the vol until you get in the screen with start, shut down and recovery.
Go to recovery and boom, you are back to recovery
dont do nothing on the pc, just the fact that its connect will enable it:good:

Thank you for both of your replies.
This is what I did:
Connected my Galaxy Nexus to PC
Switched on USB Debugging, ADB drivers got auto-installed
Rebooted Galaxy Nexus into Bootloader, appropriate driver got installed
Switched on Nexus 7 in Bootloader mode, started praying
Swapped the Galaxy Nexus with the Nexus 7 - this time it didn't hang
Used mskip's toolkit to flash bootloader, stock recovery and stock ROM
Reason the tablet wasn't being recognised in Bootloader mode earlier was because while I had connected it to the PC many times, I'd never had USB debugging enabled (tablet was unlocked and rooted on my laptop) and had never been in Bootloader while tablet was connected to PC. So the PC didn't know what was connected to it, and presumably due to the issues with the tablet, the PC wasn't able to recognise it and download the drivers...
*huge sigh of relief* Thanks again guys!

Nexus 7 1st gen will not boot shows Android w/ a hardhat

I just picked up a Nexus 7 1st Gen WiFi 16GB running 4.1.1 and all was working well on it. I configured it, played with it a bit,even rebooted it once and then left it to charge for a while. I then decided to unlock the bootloader and root it. I enabled usb debugging, connected it to my laptop and issued adb reboot bootloader from my platform-tools in my Android sdk folder. The tablet rebooted, but instead of booting into the bootloader I got a message saying No USB Cable Connected with a question mark and an unknown device in Windows 7 Pro x64. Using NRT I found the correct driver and now I have an android with a hard hat on it with a message saying Wait for Download. Power + Down doesn't get me anywhere except the same messages. Power + Down + Up doesn't work either. Now I'm stumped. 'ADB devices' doesn't see it nor does fastboot. Anyone have any pointers?

[Q] Cannot get PC to see Nexus (2012) is connected (Code 10) on driver. Help please!!

I have tried many options. My Nexus died shortly after a KitKat update, but it may have been frazzled by a faulty car charger.
Cannot access recovery mode.
Cannot get PC to see ADB device
Would replacing the USB board help?
Out of warranty so willing to try almost anything.

Search for naked drivers and install them, then remove previous drivers from device manager and update.
And please provide as much info as possible about your setup before asking a question.

Hi, I was only ever stock. Unrooted, but had USB debugging.
I sideloaded KitKat when it came out and installed the Google Experience launcher. Received an OTA a day later that was only 1-2Mb.
The sideloading worked perfectly using the adb sideload kitkat.zip.
The evening after the OTA and the unit died. It is possible that it was a car charger, but I think highly unlikely as it never affected a Kindle or Xperia Z. But now I cannot get the PC to even see that the device is connected and neither can I get Recovery Mode to fully start. I select Recovery Mode and all I see is the Google logo. I have tried all sorts of button presses to get the android on its back with the red triangle. I may have missed something obvious so any suggestions would be a help.

Connect to wall charger if u cant get it to charge then it is ok,
try changing ur data cable that ur using to connect it to pc.
if ur tablet was not connected to charger when it dies then it is not the carger. OTA usually mess things up on modified/ rooted devices.

Hi, Thanks for the response.
I've tried all my cables. I can get the unit to charge no problem. It is just that I cannot get it to recover itself.
Powering on freezes on the Google logo and the CPU overheats like a really good overheating thing.
I go into the bootloader and if it doesn't freeze I can select all the various top level options. I have tried selecting Recovery mode and I cannot get that to work either. If I select Recovery mode and hit the power button it once again freezes on the Google logo. I have tried holding the volume up and pressing the power, but nothing happens. The only option I have is to power off again.
I had hoped that the nexus Root toolkit would help, but as it is never seen or recognized by the laptop I think I am totally screwed. I am thinking that my best hope is to sell it for spares. Unless there is a way of resetting the machine without a computer or being able to access recovery mode. I haven't seen anything like this.

[Q] Nexus 7 - So many things going wrong after factory reset.

I have a Generation 1 32GB Nexus 7. It has just been Factory Reset using the Pow, Vol +. Vol - combo to enter recovery and then using the Pow, Vol + combo to get to the menu to do a factory reset. I did this because my Nexus 7 was stuck on the X screen after several months of not being used, due to purchasing a more robust tablet.
I have successfully gotten past the X screen and I am not looking at the Welcome screen to select my language. On this screen I am getting what seems to be an infinite number of pop ups stating:
Unfortunately, Currents has stopped
Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.location has stopped.
Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped.
Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped.
Not in this order, but perpetual none the less.
I am able to get them to stop after several minutes of pressing OK, and I am then able to proceed to the select WiFi screen. Here, My nexus 7 is not finding any networks, where my GS4, laptop, and desktop all find 20+ wireless networks. My network is hidden, and I have attempted to connect to it via 'Other Network..." However it instant informs me unable to connect. I have also attempted a WPS connection and instantly I am told:
WPS failed. Please try again in a few minutes.
I have since tried every couple of minutes while typing this, ensuring my router is in WPS mode as well.
I very distinctly remember there being a skip button on this screen in the past, because when i purchased it was opened it in the car and was messing around with it before I got home, however no matter what voodoo I perform, nor how many times i restart the process and come back to this screen, I am unable to continue the initial setup.
Here is what I know FOR SURE about the state of the Nexus 7 prior to All my troubles.
1. The bootloader is unlocked, as I see the unlock icon on the Google splash screen.
2. It was previously set to USB debugging mode, however i am not sure if this gets reset when factory resets are performed.
3. I have installed apps to allow the USB port to connect to a dongle to attach external storage devices, this was unsuccessful, and prompted the purchase of the new tablet.
4. I have previously installed several custom ROMs, rooted, and in general messed around with the software successfully many many times. All were working fine.
5. The last ROM was the 4.2 Stock ROM
I have since updated my Nexus Root Toolkit program that I have been using since Wugfesh released it, and I am currently unable to get past the "checking ADB status". The program itself is not detecting the Nexus 7 in any regard, nor is my PC when connecting to the cable. I have tried several cables that are working for my phone, and have tried several ports that are also all working for my phone.
I have uninstalled all the drivers, and re-installed all of the drivers, and I have ensured they are the correct ones.
The only troubleshooting step I am not able to confirm is that the device is in fact in USB debugging mode, as I am unable to continue off of the WiFi screen.
The Wifi was for sure working the last time I used the Nexus 7, as I was using it to control a Chromecast in my bedroom and play games.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I would like to not have to concede to scrapping my Nexus 7.

Tapping all four corners of the screen will skip the WiFi part of setup not sure if the order you tap them in matters. Other than that boot into fastboot mode and follow the sticky for flashing a new factory image. Fastboot does not need USB debugging enabled.

Totally bricked - no ADB, no fastboot, no screen. Recognized as APX device.

Hi all!
First of all I would like to give small heads up - I've been searching XDA and web for two days and ended with no working solution.
Situation:
Suddenly my Nexus 7 (2012) just died. No charging signs, nothing. So i tried Google described and random hardware resets using buttons with no luck.
I ended with situation:
device is not turning on - no screen flickering, not even small amount of pixel light visible,
ADB - no devices found,
fastboot - no diveces found,
nvflash - only my GeForce PC card found
when I connect device to PC I have to hold power button for ~10sec and there I hear "boing" (USB dev. disconnected), "boing" (USB device connected) sounds.
device is visible as APX device with "!" mark
I've tried:
hardware reset by pressing: power button, power+volume's buttons for different amount of time,
taking back and disconnecting battery,
using different software to discover device,
editing driver .inf file to recognize my device as ADB device. It did but still no visibility via ADB or fastboot (URL: http://blog.dantup.com/2012/10/fixing-adb-device-not-found-with-nexus-7-in-recovery-mode/),
read and tried to use things from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7-2013/general/rd-thread-trying-to-solve-ota-brick-t3117495.
No result at all...
One more - when I unplug and then plug in battery while having back taken I can hear sound that something is "running".
Please help!

@kepisty89 You can check here. Install the driver and check your device is detecting or not, actually you've a fried bootloader.

Tahnk you @DutchMan_1990, I tried this and now ended with my device recognized as "Asus Transformer Prime APX Interface". Nothing else happened.
Any ideas?

Hi, kepisty89...
Unfortunately, APX mode is generally never good news .
It usually indicates that the Nexus 7's bootloader has either become corrupted or has been erased, and effectively hardbricking the device.
-----
See here, for a post I wrote for another XDA member with similar issues to yours, back in December 2014, where I elaborate further on this problem.
-----
I suspect your Nexus 7 will require a motherboard replacement .
Rgrds,
Ged.

I have similar issue, but mine I can get to bootloader but that's it, if I try to power it on all I get is the Google and unlock padlock, can't get to recovery, but my device is seen via fastboot ADB Wugfresh NRT, but as soon as I try to write to it ie flash files or try to restore device, ADB locks up, and when it says rebooting device my nexus tries to reboot but I get a black screen and Wugfresh says waiting for device, I have to force reboot bootloader hold power button vol down for NRT to see it again in fastboot. I can also boot tempery recovery via NRT but when I select mount it pops up on PC but I can't copy anything to it, also it says I have no OS installed.
