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

Just get back into recovery and factory reset. This is a common issue when unlocking bootloader.
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.
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
Edit: I figured out how to access Recovery. I needed to use power + volume up once on the screen with the Android avatar and red symbol.

In stock recovery, wipe the data (it may be called system reset or something) u should be good to go.

If the suggestion of newell79 didn't work you can try to flash the Factory image..

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.

After using the Nexus 7 Toolkit to unlock, root, and install a custom recovery, I installed the latest CM nightly, gapps, and went along my merry way. Some time later, I came back to find my tablet looping the CM boot animation - so I did a three finger reset, booted to recovery, and tried wiping data + cache and re-installing the ROM - no dice.
Okay, since I can get to the bootloader, I figure I'll use the Nexus 7 Toolkit to reinstall a factory image. I go through the process - fastboot commands work - but at the end of installing the factory image I'm still left at a loop of the Nexus boot animation.X. Repeat with different factory images, check MD5s, repeat using the Nexus Root Toolkit instead, then manually, no luck.
Finally, one time after another install of the factory image, the power button won't reset the device. Hold power button 10, 20, 30 seconds - no response. I can no longer get into fastboot to continue troubleshooting - just stuck at the nexus X animation on loop forever. If I plug it into a PC, I do get a "installing device drivers" pop-up, but holding power, power & volume-up, power & volume-down, power & volume up & volume down - all have the same result, which is nothing.
Searched the forum and found a lot of "nexus 7 bricked"/"nexus 7 bootloop" threads - but none in which the power button wouldn't reset the device. Looking for any advice that can be offered on this issue, thanks.
Edit: Spoke with nexus support - says to let the device die, and take it from there. (I'll add updates if I have any luck.)
talk to whoever posted the root toolkits you used, as nexus devices dont need root toolkits.
Make sure you have the most current boot loader.

The toolkit is just a program with shorcut scripts for unlocking, rooting, and executing fastboot/adb commands. But I'll look into it.

Can't exactly check the bootloader since I'm stuck on the nexus X, but last I was able to, the 3.41 bootloader was what was installed.
I have tried at least 10 times with no results. I power down the device, hold both volume buttons and the power button, and nothing. I do get a vibrate after about 2 seconds, but nothing on the screen and then it vibrates every 6-7 seconds until I let go of the buttons. Kind of disappointed as I was all nice and comfortable on the couch, ready to use the Nexus 10 toolkit to do the all-in-one.
Anyone else experience this problem?

Try releasing then power button (but hold the other two) when you feel the first vibration. I've found that holding the power button can make a continuous reboot happen.

Tried that, but no luck. I also went a different route and tried to do it using mskip's toolkit in original android development. After installing the drivers and choosing the options to boot into fastboot, the device vibrated once and nothing showed up on the screen. BUT...when I refreshed the main menu the toolkit recognized the device as in fastboot mode. Really weird happenings with this, and starting to be concerned that my device has some issues. What point is a Google device if I can't unlock or root it?!

I've had the best luck holding the vol up/down button down first, then while that's down, pressing and holding power until the fastboot menu comes up.
Well, I am at a complete loss. Is this cause for replacement?

Hold all three buttons at the same time and wait for the vibration and release. It should work.

Ok, so, I'm not sure what to make of the recent events. Bottom line, I was booting to fastboot mode, but the screen was just blank. I followed the instructions via the toolkit just by selecting the buttons and hoping it was making the correct selections in fastboot mode. Now unlocked, rooted, and a happy man! Still not sure why the fastboot menu would not show up though.

I cant get the toolkit to recognize my tablet in fastboot mode. Is there a soluton to the black screen?
If the toolkit does not recognize the device in fastboot, then there's a good chance you didn't install the drivers correctly. Did you follow the directions correctly to get the toolkit to recognize the device?

I got my device unlocked and the device did install the drivers. However, the problem was not that. But here's the thing, my N10 never showed me the fastboot menu. But connected to the PC it does show its connected. I never saw the screen that confirms "do you want to unlock the bootleader" (it goes completely black and vibrates every 5 seconds).
Workaround to unlock: For anyone with this problem, I just had to "guess" that menu (I think its clicking the vol button down once and then the power button). For me it bootlooped. so I pressed the Vol+ and power and in fastboot I booted to stock recovery, from there just wipe factory settings, and voila.
Weird tho that my fastboot screen was completely black

This is exactly how I had to do it. It's a 50/50 shot, since I think the options are yes or no. Apparently the problem is a little more common, as evidenced by this thread I started in Android General, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018777

Reboot into boot loader, choose recovery, press all three buttons at top at same time if you don't have options to select, then factory reset. This will solve your boot loop.

The post above is correct. Same thing happened to me. Just factory reset and you should be good to go

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

Try using a Nexus 4 Toolkit. It makes things a lot easier for you if you wish to install a recovery.
For the bootloader problem. I'm not sure whats causing it.
The android laying down with exclamation mark is the stock recovery. What you can do is;
install twrp through GooManager. Install GooManager from market, Press menu then install openrecoveryscript.
Then you need to overwrite the stock recovery. Go in the system with root explorer go into system and find the recovery-from.boot.p and change the name by adding .bak to it so you can get it back if needed. Then try reboot into recovery.
Hope this helps you out.

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.
