My Nexus 7 has been freezing on me lately, so I figured I should back it up. During the backup it froze at 60%. After a reboot I attempted to backup the most important data but titanium backup kept failing. After two failed attempts the tablet powered off by itself. It would not boot past the Google logo. I was able to get to fastboot mode. While in recovery I did a factory reset. After the factory reset the Nexus went in to a boot loop. It displayed the Google logo, then reset. I could still get in to fastboot mode and it froze once more while in fast boot mode. I powered it off and now it does not power up. The battery showed 43% when I was doing the backups, but I thought it might of been wrong so I recharged it for two hours. It still will not boot up. If I have the Nexus plugged in to my computer and turn it on I can hear the sound that a new device is connected but almost immediately the sound for the device being disconnected plays. I figure the flash memory has failed while writing to it during the backup, but the new device sound seems odd. It is under warranty and I will probably have to RMA it. But before I that happens I wanted to check with awesome xda community and see what you think.
Has anyone experienced this before? Any idea what went wrong?
Thank you for reading my post.

I've been on my way to turn in my Nexus 7 were I originally bought it in July 2013 due to several issues: the famous screen problem where the tablet seems to live a life on its own and where your only option is to do a hard reboot and also that it's been charging awfully slow the latest months.
Hower, a few weeks ago, it suddenly wouldn't start up normally. It always gets stuck on the Kitkat animation.
Just half an hour ago, after managing to charge it full via my computer, I booted it to recovery mode and emptied the system cache partition. That didn't solve the problem. I'm not even able to get to the recover menu anymore.
The reason why I'm not turning it in is because i'd like to do a backup on my files that are on it. Oh, and I should mention that the tablet is completely original and not rooted.
Any ideas? It'd be too bad to loose images etc...
Anyone?
Hey all,
Just some details before the background.
I was running a stock with a unlocked bootloader for a while now. I basically only use my nexus now to watch netflixs and HBOgo. Got the tablet over four years ago.
This morning after it's nightly charge I went to unlock it and it froze up. I rebooted it, noticed the date was off (Jan 1st) and froze after I unlocked it. Reboot again, it made it to the screen where it was optimizing my apps but the screen starting flickering and having artifacts, and powered off. Now it will power itself off 5 or so seconds into the boot animation.
I've tried going into recovery via the bootloader but when I select it and hit the power button it just turns it self off. I then used the nexus toolbox to reflash a stock rom (along with a factory reset), and TWRP. I tried booting up again and same thing. I then went into TWRP and start troubleshooting, but the screen is starting to flicker and have artifacts, then powers off.
Is the hardware dead on this?
Sorry for the jumbled mess of details, i've been bouncing around trying to troubleshoot/fix this.

My nexus 10 has the boot loop problem and I think I have been left with the only option of Re-Partition but I need the PIT file. Can anybody help or provide this file?
I have tried everything else (fastboot, adb, temporary custom recoveries, Nexus Root Toolkit) with no success.
Is the battery original? If so, it's possible the battery could be reaching its end.

Hi All,
I am having a similar kind of problem like many others already stated but mine one is a bit unique.
My phone will power on, google logo appears, it starts to boot then nothing happens....it keeps on restarting the sequence but never completes the boot process. I can access fastboot, recovery mode but the phone itself doesn't start.
However if I keep it plugged to my wall charger it completes the boot process and I can access my phone, but if I unplug and start using it just shuts down randomly (1 min-30 min).
I have wiped cache, restored to factory already. Currently I am running 5.1.1 with no modification at all.
Any suggestion to bring it back to life is appreciated.
Replace the battery and I think it will work without any issues.

Most likely the battery is dead.

So basically this rom is awesome but it had only one problem. When I plugged my phone in the charger while it was turned off, it bootlooped until I restarted with the cable off. It was no big deal and nothing bad ever came out of it.
Yesterday my batter ran out while I was asleep and when I woke up it was already turned off. I, absentmindly, tried to turn it on, LG Logo, off again. Did it one more time, nothing happened, realized it's out of battery. Plugged in charger, try to turn it off/on, usual bootloop happens. Say ok and proceed with what I always did, phone gets past LG Logo, goes into SlimLP boot animation and for the first it has just stayed there. No restarts, just endless loading. Longest i Left it on to load was about 45 minutes. Never got back on.
Apart from that, I think that for some reason my recovery got uninstalled somehow, by itself, a few weeks ago. I only noticed this because before, when I wanted to get into recovery, I pressed the usual buttons and it went straight into TWRP. Now the same buttons take me to the "Factory reset screen". I know that everyone says to just go ahead and press power, but I am afraid, since I am not sure if TWRP is still functioning. This happened to me another time on the same phone, and when I confirmed the factory reset, it factory resetted.
My problem here is that I want to get my music and photos. I'm only able to enter that factory reset screen and download mode. Can I "flash" twrp safely from download mode? Should I use Flash Tool 2014 and Normal flash(which says it keeps the data) a stock g2 rom? Can I mount my phone to the computer in download mode to copy my files? I want the most risk-free approach.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, first If you can enter download mode I think you can flash kdz (Kitkat) file to stock using Flash Tool 2014. But I had this problem once and the keep data flashing didn't work (stucked at 50%), I ended up flashed it with other option (erased all data).
2. You can try the "Factory reset" nice and easy.
I think you can't see files on the device unless you enter Twrp.
It's wise to backup your phone on the computer montly or so, thank you.
I went ahead and nuked my download mode using the SRK tools. Then got access to fastboot, through which I booted to twrp and then I could move my files. All's fine, flashed my ROM again and it's going better than ever.
Yesterday, the phone was fine. Then, it was suddenly off even though it had plenty of battery and would not power on. Plugged in and verified battery, then tried vol down and power. This began a boot loop when the phone was plugged in where the samsung screen came up, phone would vibrate, then it would go off and loop again over and over. If unplugged, it does not function at all. I could not get it to open in to the recovery screen. This morning, plugged in again and it immediately went to recovery. I tried clearing cache and rebooting, but another boot loop. It does not always go to recovery, so after much effort, I got it back to that point and selected clear data and factory reset. It again went to the boot loop. There is now an error when I can get it to recovery that is dir ‘/system/carrier/ATT/priv-app/AttIqi_ATT' . I went to Sammobile and downloaded Odin hoping to flash to this. Unfortunately, the phone only has power when it is plugged in and I cannot get the phone in to recovery mode when plugged in to the computer that has Odin on it. Even if I could, I would not be able to follow the steps. Looking for other ideas of how to make this work.
