Okay I'm a noob when it comes to flashing and all this custom rom stuff. I wanted to flash a tablet ui rom from this website
at wonderhowto.com
They said I needed to be at 4.2.2 and so I checked my tablet's settings and it stated that I was at 4.2. Being the noob that I am I thought 4.2 was the same as 4.2.2 (not knowing it was 4.2.0) so I flashed it anyway using WugFresh's Nexus tool kit and it immediately got bricked at the google x screen. So after some research and a few downloaded files later, I found the stock 4.2 nexus 3G zip. So I did a stock recovery with that and everything was restored. Yay! I still wanted that tablet UI so the next step was to update to 4.2.2. I was able to upgrade to 4.2.2 using the nexus system update check in the About Tablet settings. Now that I had the 4.2.2, I flashed the Tablet UI patch to my device and it worked fine. Device booted up with the tablet UI and everything but the landscape mode was a little buggy. So, I decided to go back to the stock rom in which he provided in his blog under "Restoring Back to Stock UI". I downloaded that to my device and installed using the TWRP. Now this is where the problem started. When I booted up my device it got stuck on the google X screen. So I rebooted the device over and over again and the same problem persisted. I went to Wugfresh's toolkit and decided to stock recover using the original nakasig J0P40C 4.2.0 build and now the device won't turn on, stays stuck on the Google logo screen, and no matter how many times I stock recover it just stays in the Google logo screen.
- I've completely wiped the cache and formated the data, sd card through the TWRP. I'm able to reach the TWRP using WugFresh's tool kit under "temporary custom recovery".
- Not sure but I have a feeling that it's not working because I'm essentially downgrading from 4.2.2 to 4.2.0. If this is the case how can I get a stock 4.2.2
- Please any help is wanted. My device is my life right now.
Can you get into bootloader mode?
If so:
Get your restore image from here:https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
In wugfresh' toolkit select 'soft brick / boot loop' at device state, under the flash stock button.
Connect your Nexus to your PC and get it into bootloader mode.
Click the flash stock button.
Select the option to choose your own image and click the original one from Google.
Now flash and hope it's booting again!
If not so:
Sorry, I can't help you :-[

It's kinda common problem. The reason is not your downgreading. I't something else. As you are using NRT(one of my fev) you are too close to the solve. Heres the steps you need to take.
* Reboot into bootloader,
- Advance->reboot recovery in NRT
- or if you don't wanna use NRT turn off your device(hold the power button for about 10sec) now hold the power and volume down butto untill the google logo shows up
- than you should be in the fastboot mode
* Now click Flash Stock + Unroot in NRT(Can't boot up) go through the process(I'd recomment 4.2.2 stock)
* You got your devece into 4.2.2stock
If you wanna get a custom rom with Tablet UI you can skip the uper part.
* Reboot your device in TWRP
* Get an USB flash drive with the custom ROM( Smooth ROM is my personal fev.
* Connect the USB flast to your tablet via a OTG cable.
* Select install from TWRP select USB otg (or something like that)
* Now Select the custom rom from the Files and Swipe to install.
* Go through the installation process.
* After the installation is done wipe cach & devlock.
* Turn off the device from TWRP.(Sometimes direct rebooting form TWRP causes a problem).
* Power it on and you got a custom rom that has an Tablet UI.
* As far as I remember Smooth ROM is previously rooted. Though I rooted it using NRT(4.2.2 stock worked for me).
* As you are using a custom rom you should use a custom recovery.
Hope this is gonna work let me know if doesn't.

That is supposed to be wokring. But I never could get the "Other/Brows" working in NRT. Think this is a bug.
---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------
And @slimsoul I think this is not a situation which can be called as "Completely Bricked Nexus 7"
Can't you click the flash button, choose other / browse in the upper section and choose "I downloaded one mysef..." in the lower section?
Otherwise just try installing if you ever need it.

I know how that works. but may be ther is a bug. The flash is never complete. Did you tried to read the lines on the console?? It just jump to press any key to continue. There was suppoed to be many steps before it. And the process was supposed to take a little more time. And the result is no change to your device at all.
Please try to Quote when you post about another post, or it get untressable.

Once you flash a ROM, whichever it is, you have to be very patient and don't panic...
Unplug it from your PC, plug it on the main... and wait !!!
That happened to me, and I can tell you this can take awhile before you get back to your main display...
May depend on the numbers of apps or how much space left on the eMMC or the micro SDCard ???
:silly: :fingers-crossed:

i actually dont really know what "plug it on the main" means
but i flashed a new rom from CWM and still stuck on Samsung Galaxy tab logo and i think the device is overheating right now from the left side of the screen. is that normal ?
Question: i did not delete/restore factory settings i just erased the dalvik and cache.. would that be a problem ?
for the sake of helping you... can you tell us... what firmware were you from before you flash a new one??? honeycomb??? ics??? and which custom firmware did you flash...
This happened to me as well, this weekend. Absolutely stock Tab 7.7, never flashed, and it suddenly rebooted while I was using it and got stuck on the "Galaxy Tab 7.7" bootup screen, and no amount of factory resetting would help.
I managed to fix it by following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25487137&postcount=22
Basically, the /data partition was corrupted, and had to be repaired with e2fsck through an adb shell.
Let battery go flat.
I only try to help you. Don't blame me if this doesn't works for you. Based on my experience, this is step-by-step guide you could try to flash a new ROM for your device.
1. Install Samsung Kies on a PC or notebook
2. Download PC Odin3 v.1.85
3. Download Stock Android 3.2 HC ROM
4. Open PC Odin
5. Click on PDA and search for your downloaded file (which MUST have been extracted into .tar.md5 format earlier)
6. Connect your device to the PC and wait until the PC finished installing your device ADB driver
7. Click Start to begin flashing your device for the Stock ROM
ps: Sometimes Device get stuck or boot looping. But, after wiping data and chace in stock recovery its became normal again. Revived.
Good luck!

After you've done flashing, your device is asking for password. That could be happen if you didn't flash with the right firmware or flashing isn't completed successfuly. Try to download your original stick ROM and flash again then if your device still asking for the password, enter the recovery mode, wipe data, chacek dalvik chace and reboot.
Or, else you need to send your device to Samsung.
Thanks.
So I rooted my RAZR M using motofail2go, and all was well.
Installed 'RAZR-M-Safestrap-3.12', as I was going to flash a custom ROM. I first backed up my Original Rom using the backup function.
I then wiped 'System', and went to flash the new ROM, but the flash did not work, so I restarted.
Now the problem is when the phone reboots, it showes the Safestrap splash screen with the Recovery option and start normal, but it is not working, as not sensing my inputs or something, after about 5 sec it goes to a blank screen and sits.
I tried to hard boot into the Android System Recovery, and tried to download an official Verizon ROM and install using 'apply update from external storage' using my micro sd, but I keep getting an error E:signature verification failed.
Does anyone know where I can find an official ROM to set it back to normal so I can use my phone again?
Thanks in advance.
Also: My phone originally had 4.0.4 version.

if you can get back into recovery, you should be able to press "restore" assuming you backed up your previous ROM.

What you might want to to is use RSDlite and flash that image you downloaded. This seems like it would help you, though I have not personally tried it:
http://www.andromods.com/tips-trick...oid-razr-m-xt907-stock-original-firmware.html
EDIT: And once the flash is complete, I would reboot into recovery again and wipe data and cache and then let it boot into the phone.
EDIT 2: Oh, and in addition to RSDLite, you will need the Motorola USB drivers so your computer can see the phone over USB.

Anyways, Thanks a lot, that got me back up to stock and working, and I was able to reflash a custom rom (flashed to Rom slot 1, then backed up, and recovered into the stock slot). :good:
I've heard ranting and raving about Malladus and I decided to flash it yesterday. It won't take the flash no matter what I do.
I've tried: Flashing 1.2.4, downloading both again to make sure it wasn't a download issue, using different gapps package, using a different lg apps package, using CWM, using TWRP, side-loading... ETC
Bottom line: My phone will not take the ROM. It flashes the LG logo and gets stuck at a black screen where the back-light is on but nothing is displayed on the screen.
I am an experienced flasher and I have no idea what is going on. I am backed up and can get into TWRP to restore so I am all good as far as not being bricked goes but I really want to try out this damn rom.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Same Black Screen issue
Did anyone have any luck resolving this? Ive tried with both twrp and cwm and same issue...?
Same problem on my Verizon model. Using twrp 2.6.3.3. Other roms work fine.
How long have you left it at the black screen? Sometimes a fresh load can take up to 10 minutes.
Also, the rom will work without gapps and lgapps, so try just loading the rom. I know you downloaded twice, but did you check the md5 sum either time?

I left it there for a good 15 minutes. I also had it plugged into my laptop. It kept detecting the phone as plugged in. Seems like it is stuck in a bootloop or something. I also tried installing only the ROM without the gapps and lgapps and had the same result. I also checked the MD5 sum and it matched.

Can you restore your nandroid and flash say, CleanROM 1.0 or DigitalDream 2.1? OR try this:
1. Hold the power button until the device is OFF.
2. Download LG drivers to the PC (LG VZW_United_WHQL_v2.11.1) and LG mobile support tool (B2CAppSetup).
3. Install these packages.
4. Plug in you USB cable into the phone but not the computer.
5. Hold volume up and insert the USB cable to the PC- the phone should boot to 'download mode'.
6. Open the support tool and click Options>Upgrade Recovery, follow the prompts.
7. At the first prompt indentify your phone using IMEI/ESN, then click OK
8. Let it do its thing, the phone will reboot and most likely have a bunch of error messages and some FC's. Just hit okay to all messages, the phone will settle after 2 minutes or so.
9. Download freegee from market and reflash recovery of your choice.
10. Make sure you have a ROM saved to the SD to flash
11. Use freegee to reboot to recovery
12. Once in recovery you can reflash the ROM as normal.
13. Reboot and Profit!
*$* Or you could go back to Stock and start fresh!
*$* BEFORE ANY FLASH ALWAYS STOP and MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP!
Good Luck and if you get stuck let me know

I was able to install the digital dream rom without any issue. At this point I think its the sequence I did everything. I did the latest ota before installing any Recovery. I used the loki method to install the recovery. In looking at all the roms, it appears that malladus may not be "loki patched" for people already on 12b? Other roms I have tried mention that so thats why I'm speculating this. I am by no means a developer so I might be out in left field on this one. I guess I'll stick with stock or another ROM for now until his next update.
It also looks like people are discussing this on the main ROM forum as well so hopefully it will work in the future.
Thanks again for the help and suggestions.

Wanted to share this if you haven't read it..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670
I had issues originally and had to flash back to 1.2.3.
What I ended up doing was switching to CWM 6.0.4.4 ( I was using TWRP 2.6.3.3).
His boot skipped the set up wizard as well, which was odd.
His was also the only ROM I ever got stuck on the fastboot screen while using twrp.
Try ( at your own risk obviously) flashing back to an older malladus (wipe all and boot till you get through the set up wizard),
Then back to recovery, do a wipe, without wiping the system partition, Data Cache and Davlik, and flash back to 1.2.5.
I didn't try it on 1.2.5. But that's how I got into 1.2.4.

Are you on 12B OTA? If so, that would be your issue. I took the 12B OTA and tried flashing Malladus and got the same issue you have. You can revert your phone to 11A and that should resolve your issue. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448960 it will erase everything on your phone and go back to unroot.
I panicked and probably did something quite stupid...
So I tried to flash the new cyanogenmod rom to have a taste of kit kat, but then I had the status 7 error.
This never occurred to me before, I didn't keep a backup to fall back onto... ( yes, I am an idiot, I learned my lesson, the hard way)
Than the device won't boot, it shows the Google logo twice, and then goes into the clockwork mod, where you choose to flash roms
and I am stuck.
I tried Nexus Root Toolkit, doesn't help because my device is not booting up, no way can it install the drivers properly...
and I think I did something more ingenious... I just tried anything on the Toolkit, and I got my rooted Nexus 7 locked...
But it's still the same, I am stuck at the clockwork mod thing just as before... Wiped whatever I can. and even formatted the sdcard and system...
Some Android Wizard out there... Please help...
If at boot you go to recovery directly... You have had to flash new version of recovery in wrong partition. You must flash it last version of recovery with "fastboot flash recovery yourrecovery.IMG" (see 'recovery' as partition to flash). Then flash boot and system partitions from factory image (in XDA have you multiples threads about it) if you want to keep your data. If not, flash factory image from usual ways (this wipes your data) and then flash recovery like I say above.
After that, try to flash CM again.
PS: I recommend TWRP instead of CWM.

but its more serious than that... My computer doesnt recognize the tablet because of some driver issues... I am not sure, at this moment, whether the USB debugging thing still works
i can only get to the clockwork mod page, bootloader and thats it.
I cant flash anything, I cant transfer files from the PC to tablet....
please, please help.

Im in a similar boat. I bricked my tablet while trying to force an update. It wouldnt autoupdate (there was always an error about cant find zip file...) so I tied to install it with Skipsoft program. After 20 minutes i realize my computer has frozen....So I waited 2 hours and nada. So I had to reboot my desk top. At that time my tablet is now bricked....what do we do?

I searched around but I did not see anything similar to my situation.
If there is a thread, please just link it and ill delete this thread.
Basically I had rooted my N7 back earlier this year and had a custom rom as the 5.0 OTA made my N7 run like crap.
It was fine until the last few months, it got REALLY slow. I didnt update it, or mod it other then flashing the roms.
So I set out to get a new rom. I figured id try the 6.0 AOSP rom.
DL it, as well as the GAPPS and tried to install it. All I ever got was a continuous error saying, "setup wizard has stopped".
Searched some more and saw that someone fixed it by installing a bare bones GAPPS and then WIPING Dalvik and cache immediately after flashing GAPPS.
I did this and no change. Still an error.
So I noticed that when I was in Windows, my N7 showed as having 5+/- gigs free out of 13gb.
So I figured let me wipe this whole thing clean and start fresh.
BTW- this has all been done with Wugfresh toolkit.
So I went ahead and erased/ formatted and planned to return to stock and then re-root and flash a 4.44 rom as I saw that on the grouper nothing over 4.44 works great and all I want is a stockish N7 that stays fast and works 100%.
Well now all I get is the Google scree with the Unlock icon and a green start icon and when you try to go into bootloader it says booting failed in upper left corner.
Any ideas hahaha.
Thanks!
I never used Wugfresh ......Are you able to get to recovery? If so what recovery do you have?

I had the latest twrp recovery, I think 2.08 ?
I can't seem to get to the recovery screen.....only the bootload screen.
Well your bootloader is unlocked so you should be able to flash recovery again via ADB...when you are pressing the volume buttons to select recovery or bootloader is there an option for recovery? If so what does it say or do why you can't get to recovery.

Sorry I disappeared, I got busy with school and I just put the device to the side.
I am trying to get it restored but no matter what I do, wugfresh just hangs "waiting for device".
It finds it via ADB...
i tried doing a restore with my backup, tried flashing stock/recovery...
All I get it the main screen with Google and the unlock icon....If I hit the volume rocker I can jump to the bootload screen but when I try to jump to recovery it says "boot failed" in upper left corner.
Any ideas or is this thing toast?

NO!! Your device is not toast if it powers on then it should be recoverable, my advice forget WugFresh check out this page on how to get TWRP installed> https://twrp.me/devices/asusnexus72012wifi.html for latest twrp recovery, on this page you will find info how to get ADB running properly, once you have Twrp recovery installed try this Rom it is stock Lolliopop and runs great better than previous ones http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7/development/rom-t2931064

Please let me know how you get on. also if you get TWRP installed wipe everything apart from internal storage before install Rom.

Hi there and a happy new year .....well guess what iv got the same issue as well now and I'm also using WugFresh I can reboot bootloader from NRT but that's it can't get to recovery can't write to recovery can't flash recovery all I can do is to TWRP temporary via NRT ,but still can't write to it, I read somewhere that the internal SD is fried which is why I can't write to system which means can't flash Recovery or Rom which mean can't reboot system so unfortunately for us its looking like a new motherboard or new tablet.

OK Im back. Roughly an hour and a half. Not bad.
So what I did(if you're stuck on the bootloader screen like me)
Updated to the latest version of Wugfresh.
Made sure it updated all of the files it needed etc.
I then went through the process of uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers for ADB etc. I actually had an issue with it not detecting my device so it recommended installing the generic Google drivers....I did that.
Even after doing that, when I would check ADB connectivity it would say no devices found. I remembered that sometimes it would still communicate with the device even though it said nothing was found. I decided to do a fastboot format under advanced utilities because I knew that i erased it previously and I think that is where I ran into problems.
Sure enough adb found my device and formatted the bootloader no problem. I then continued with the restore to stock/w boot loop function and had patience...it took FOREVER to load the system image and then it took like 10 minutes to reboot but it did and I have a fully functional device right now.
I logged in and turned USB debugging on and re-locked the device. I then did a system wipe from inside the system and will sell it tomorrow.
So have faith, its not over till its over.
and p.s. I changed the USB port that I was plugged into. I have a USB hub that I usually connect too but I figured id connect directly to a USB port on the machine. Not sure if that helped, but people recommend it anyway.
