Formatted storage when connected to PC - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys. I just connected the tablet to my PC to copy some files, my PC got stuck for a moment and the second time I connected it, I realized the Nexus 7 storage was completely formatted. The only folder left is "Android". No idea how this happened.
Do you have any suggestions how can I recover my files back? Please help me, I had some really important stuff there. :crying: Thanks

All files are there, just hidden and marked as over writeable. Google recover deleted items. Point whatever tool you find to the nexus and it should get them all back.

That is very optimistic! Could you tell me please how can I make Win7 recognize the device as a flash usb drive because this is how it recognizes it now (in the capture below) and recovery programs does not support such "drives". I have set is as MTP Media Device. Thank you, man!

Can you not mount it as USB in recovery? Not too sure as I have a stock N7.

I tried to boot into recovery mode but the screen says "No Command". Win 7 does not recognize the device either. Mine is stock, not rooted.
P.S. I am a complete rookie with android, you can PM if you prefer please.

When you click on Nexus 7 what do you get on the computer screen?

You will not be able to mount USB via the stock recovery. You will need CWM or TWRP. When in the OS you only have the option for MTP mounting. I don't know of any way to mount mass storage in the OS.

no -- you cannot partition in any mode but recovery. So therefore you can either 1. do it with the recovery or 2. adb shell (in recovery) and use Parted
http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/manual/html_mono/parted.html
http://luv.asn.au/overheads/parted/index.html
except you would go..
adb shell
~ # parted dev/block/mmcblk0
which starts off the Parted program
and then ... I played around a bit.
Just bacl up your data and print your tables each step of the way so you know what you started off with....

I would not suggest playing with the internal storage of the kindle if you are not completely comfortable with adb and how partitioning works.
What ever happened with fireparted? Did the dev take it down cos of issues people are having with repartitioning the KF? As of now, are there no other alternative methods to get the work done? Thx

Stuck at bootscreen

Okay, I am new to the rooting and modifying android devices.. I rooted my Nexus 7 using supersu and was making modifications with ROM toolbox pro. I changed the boot screen, the font, and the wireless icon(starting out small) well when I restarted my tablet it wouldn't get past the lboot screen that I set to.
When I went into recovery mode, I tried to recovery my old system but it giving me md5 missing.. so I'm kinda of stuck
is there a direct approach to the solution?
Nice tip. Only use stuff like mods tha are on xda. Use metamorph to impalement theming stuff or flashable zips. Regaurds your situation ty flashing the rom again. Wipe data factory reset. If all else fails flash the google factory image and learn from your mistakes you made. Most problems you get in the future are pretty easily fixed with a bit of patience

Move your android folder to the C: Drives root folder and try directing the command prompt from there.
Type :-
cd c:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
adb

[Q] ADB connection problem - Device Offline

This is weird. I never had this problem with my Galaxy S3.
I've enabled USB Debugging on the phone.
Even toggled it off, rebooted and turned it on again.
I've also rebooted my computer and even updated SDK Toolkit.
No change in problem though.
Every time I try to connect to my phone from ADB, it just tells me the device is offline (see attached pic).
Any ideas?

Try this
http://www.wugfresh.com/faqs/how-to-fix-adb-device-is-listed-as-offline-on-android-4-2-2/
And if you do a Google search for
how to fix adb device offline
It comes up with other things to try
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk HD
Thanks, I tried the info in that link but never got the pop-up asking for ADB permissions.
I did google prior to posting also. I listed in my OP what I tried (which is what my googling suggested).
I'm about to ODIN back to factory stock anyways. So I'll try again after that. Maybe I messed something up during all the bloatware removal I did yesterday.
Nope, a fresh ODIN install of stock ROM didn't help at all.
Guess I'll have to uninstall & reinstall Android Toolkit maybe.
EDIT:
Using Motochopper root tool, I finally got the popup. And made sure to select "always allow from this computer". I think that should fixit.
EDIT #2:
Nope, that didn't help at all. Still "offline".
EDIT #3:
Actually, using the ADB from Motochopper does work. It's just the ADB from my Android Toolkit that doesn't work.
Sounds like one in android tool kit is out of date
Try updating the android sdk

Get an OTG cable and connect a thumb drive or micro so card reader directly to your phone.
Mount the drive in twrp and flash a rom from the drive.

Just guessing but the reason some of the roms did not flash may be down to the twrp version you are using. Make sure you are on the latest, and if not, flash it.
Wifi issue is probably baseband - do you have the correct one.?
