I have no explanation of what has happened to my n7. It shut off by itself and just bootloops when I try to turn back on. I can get into recovery and I have a nandroid backup of a stock rom. Everytime I restore it restores system and then fails?? I flashed 3 different roms and all r flashed successfully but I get the same bootloops . I was using latest twrp and was get error I/o data / speedtest. Something else but I flashed cwm touch b4 I could jot down the errors . I figured it was twrp bug and didnt realize I wouldnt b able to flash back to twrp do to using gooim to write the image in the first place. I am desperate to find out what happened and I wont b near a pc for a few days. I have an unlocked rooted grouper version . I have read and searched b4 posting

it could be a hardware failure, maybe the mounted drive (emulated sd card) is corrupted and broken? the boot partition seems to be working
It sux cuz I wont have access to a pc for a few days

have you tried clearing the whole of /system /data /cache... everything except /sdcard then flash a new rom? maybe that'll clear some things up

Yes I wiped system /cache/dalvik/ and factory reset I did them all like 5 times each and flashed a brand new rom. Its so weird
Nothing works. I am always prepared for atuff like this with multiple nandroids cwm/twrp but they both fail to restore

Back in a few months ago I'm faced with that problem once, tried everything like factory reset, format system/data/cache/sd, install new ROM and also tried to restore by nandroid backup (that used to work fine before that problem occur) but non of these solutions work.
Finally I've to use fastboot to flash it to 4.1.2 (to format and re-partition the device) and flash it back to 4.2.2 and then it work fine again even with many custom rom and kernel installed to my N7 very frequent and today it still work just fine.

In the future, I'd refrain from flashing if you didn't have a computer on hand.

So I've been looking and I haven't found an answer to this problem
I have a 16 gig nexus 7 and I like to tinker with it. I rooted it quite quickly just after getting it, and I have loaded custom roms, ect. The problem arose when I saw Ubuntu for the Nexus 7! I just HAD to try it out! So I did, and it wasn't so great :/ I went back to Android and a couple days later I realized that somehow my Nexus 7 thinks it's 6 gigs instead of 16. I was wondering if it was something that went wrong with the partitions when I installed Ubuntu on it, and if there was any way I could possibly fix it.
Thanks for all the help
Have you tried flashing a stock image back on the device?

I believe I have. A little unsure though. I downloaded the stock 4.2 and flashed that onto it. Was that right or do I have to find the stock image that came with it out of the box (so 4.1.2 or close)?
Factory reset will fix the issue without installing the ROM I believe.

Well I've tried it before... No harm in trying it again after I do a backup. Will update how this goes.
EDIT I just did a factory reset and no dice. It still believes it is 6 gigs.

What i believe has happened is that your partition module has become corrupted.
So, you tried flashing stock, and tried factory reset?
Does it show up on your computer as 6 GB when you connect it?
I had the same thing happen. I just used wugs toolkit to flash back to stock, then rerooted from there. That is the easiest way I know of to fix. Becides download times it only takes like 15 minutes to flash to stock, then unlock and root and you are back on your way.
Was running CM10.1 stable and encrypted my phone. Hated the performance problems, went to roll back and factory reset did not work in either Android or CWM. Since everything was encrypted I had to reformat /system, /cache, and /sdcard. CWM and fastboot work just fine, but I still can't mount /sdcard :/. Should I sideload a rom or what? How do I get my device fully working again?

Since you have all ready wiped everything, I would just go ahead and flash the system image and start over

well I loaded up the toolkit so I could easily flash 4.2.2 stock. It wouldn't have been much of a problem but my phone is my alarm and I'm not home so I'm working with very limited resources. so it's fixed now by using the toolkit and flashing stock.
thanks for the reply

I've got stuck in boot loop twice in a row after spending hours restoring phone with different method. Maybe I should have learned my lesson not to touch TWRP. Has anyone backedup and restored without a problem? Is there a way I can fix this issue without starting all over again?

Ive backed up and restored twice now with no problems, did you completely wipe and factory reset? You have to do it in that order.
I forgot, and just restored. But that shoulnd't cause bootloops. Ive used TWRP before on gnexus. what did you learn from your first bootloop error? I saw you had many posts. What have you changed to fix that ?

This isnt the Gnex, i know what you mean, this phones recovery method doesnt work the same as the nexus.
I learned this from other people's trial and error actually from this very g2 forum. With this device it requires a complete wipe and then a factory reset.otherwise boot loops will occur.

in your experience, has how you flashed TWRP mattered? What about how you booted into recovery? I recall you bricked not trying to restore. is wiping the only thing you changed to prevent the boot loop?

Yes, ive had one bootloop from using TWRP but a full wipe and FR resolved this issue. I did brick once by taking the verizon OTA while having TWRP. But that was a month ago and I tried to restore from my backup to no avail though. This was fixed by the devs. Anyway bottom line when I ran into bootloop issues I just did this methodology and it worked, its def different from how we use TWRP on the Gnex.
Is this what your asking about or no?
I ran into the same problem but fixed it using the method in "go back to stock" thread. The mistake I made was that I chose to format my internal storage in the wipe menu so i couldn't restore either lol.

Can you point me to a method to install via ADB? I am confused about loki's involvement.
FWIW, I'm using TWRP without issue so far. Very easy install and I've done two backups, but have not had to restore anything yet.

Holy Crapshoot that was easy... how do you reboot into recovery using hardware buttons on this thing?
I use the clockwork mod app .. if you use the hard buttons I think you have to choose the factory reset option and then that will take you to recovery. .. I have not used that method. .. just what I have read. .. vol down and power. .please research that first

I am on starfighters flex 3.5 rom. If I flash anything else flex or stock the setup screen in the wizard is plain android not lg themed. I have tried full wiping, wiping with system or dirty flashing. I have tried all recoverys . it gets to the end of the setup wizard and then just restarts the setup after force closing. I can only restore the flex rom from backup. If I try to flash the same rom from scratch it does the same.

So you have the 3.5 ROM and the myhub fix zips right?
Then start by wiping cache,davlik,system, and data then wipe those again.....then flash the ROM zip then the myhub fix.....then wipe cache and davlik again this reboot.....
Thanks for the reply. But how will I be able to move back to a non flex rom?

Download another ROM and gapps if needed,....go into recovery do the same four wipes(cache,davlik,system and data .....then do again for good measure then flash the ROM and flash the gapps if needed.....then wipe cache and davlik ....then reboot! How this helps....you should always make a back u before you start flashing so if anything bad happens just wipe and restore...
Ok thanks I'll give this a go later. I have the backup of this rom, makes a change for me to have one. I am a bit wreckless with flashing roms sometimes as I seem to try all of them.

So the ROM will start up and just for close? And your wiping everything besides internal storage before flashing?
It will start setup till it gets to end of setup then force close then restart setup wizard. But its happening on roms that I've flashed before. Wiping everything except data. Numerous times.

Hello Guys,
im facing a problem with my i9505,
I've been using Liquidsmooth Rom for some time,
and yesterday i flashed some roms, and now my sim card isn't recognized anymore, aswell my IMEI and Baseband are missing.
I've had that problem before, so flashed stock rom and restored a TWRP Backup containing only my EFS folder.
This has solved my problems in the past, but now nothing happens.
I have a TWRP backup aswell as a copy of the EFS folder.
Has someone else faced the same problem or knows how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
No one?
Try to restore efs folder manually with root explorer

I'm trying right now, but I am confused because the restore with TWRP doesn't do anything to my EFS folder.
Ok, I copied the EFS folder from my microsd back to the phone but nothing changed :crying:
Have you tried flashing back to stock with Odin? I've heard that can sort out IMEI problems and the sorts.
Even if it doesn't it gives you a clean phone to work with, so you can eliminate any rom problems.
I flashed the stock rom, as well as different modems trough odin, but nothing changed. But I'm wondering why the TWRP restore doesn't show any result.

With TWRP until 2.6.3 it shows me failed, 2.63 and 2.7 show me a succesful message.
LOL it just started working again without me doing anything :highfive::laugh:
