Hello
I was unrooting my nexus 7, for some reasons, and I just bought the tablet like 2 months ago, so I was unrooting through wugfresh, and made unroot to android 4.1, and when I bought the tablet, it was on 4.2, then, when it was booting up it showed the Google thing with unlocked boot loader, it was on that Google thing for more than 15 minutes, then pushed the power button to turn off and go to the bootloader and fix, but now i couldn't even boot in the bootloader, someone told me it's difficult to fix, but possible, by using adb, also what will happen if i sent it to Asus, will they repair it for some money, or they will just send it back?
Please help me!
Scary tho.

So here is my dilemma. I was having problems with my Google apps for whatever reason. Manually updated to 4.2 and still has the same problems. Did a factory reset and the problems went away. Decided I wanted to get rid of root and relock the bootloader since I'm going to give her thus one because I'm upgrading to the 32GB model. Wanted to get rid of the superuser icon in the app drawer mainly. I went to googles site and downloaded the factory images for 4.2. Used it in conjunction with the nexus 7 toolkit. Long story short for whatever reason the process didn't complete. Pretty sure I don't have a factory image at all at this point. I tried to use the nexus 7 toolkit but of course now it won't see my device. My tablet is still unlocked. I'm assuming I'm going to have to manually push the image to the phone. If any body can start me off in the right direction it will be greatly appreciated. Especially if someone were able to provide links to the info I may need. In the mean time I'm looking around on Google. Haven't found anything concrete yet. As a side note if anyone could tell me how to actually turn off the tablet do I can preserve the battery it would be appreciated. I can only get it to show fast boot mode or the Google screen. Can't power down.

Nexus 7 toolkit?
Fastboot mode?
That's all you need.

Dunno... after trying to update yesterday, twrp, cwm, stock wasn't having it, had to put stock boot loader back on, everything wiped, not a problem....nandroid backup....toolkit shows it working but nothing, toolkit said everything was there....only unlock and root worked, everything else was borked.
And I had to use Windows for the tool kit. Doh.
Toolkit has been a bane for me, finally got 4.2 using root keeper.
Off-topic.... maybe.
Lesson learnt... definitely.
Motorola Atrix (AOKP JB)
Nexus 7 (Stock+ Root)
Desire HD ~ overheating rebooting.
N900 ~ usb broken off.

Can't use the toolkit bcuz it doesn't see my device. Can't enable USB debugging. Unless there is a way around that?

Yo! Before bashing me. Yes, I have watched the n00b video, read the privacy, terms of use and so on. I have made my investigations. In fact I've been having this problem since Sunday and have been squeezing this Nexus 4 thread, Android's Central and other Google Site from top to bottom.
Problem: I have a Nexus 4 16 GB purchased directly from the Google Play Store. IMEI died. It became zero. Tried to root it (with fail attempts at connecting to the phone) so I could modify IMEI. Then phone had bootloop. Current situation: Bootloop, can't pass from the X logo.
What I have done:
- Flashed to Stock ROM using Fastboot manually, and with flash-all: 4.2.2 and 4.3. Current Result: Stuck at the Bootloop
- Left the device charging. Still bootloop (By leaving the phone charging, I managed to get out of the bootloop twice)
- Unlocked the bootloader
- Factory Reset.
- Wipe Drive Cache
- Used the LGNPST technique. (Strange, but it managed to boot with the Optimus Stock!... Unfortunately it was password locked :/)
- Pushed a different ROM (CyanogenMod) using ADB.
- Correctly installed all ADB drivers.
- Used Nexus Root Toolkit to return device back to stock to no avail
. Correctly installed the Unaked drivers for the phone.
- Tried locking and unlocking the boot loader.
- Installed Recovery Clockwork Mod.
- Read lots and lots of posts! Spent 10+ hours doing trial and error.
P.S: The problem started last Sunday, when Juice Defender tried re-enabling the data on my mobile. I saw the mark on the carrier signal didn't turn blue. I reset the phone, and then it started to have baseband problems and no connectivity. I investigated and saw that it was an IMEI problem (It returned me zero). Took it to my phone service and they couldn't fix it.
This phone is a month old, which I purchased with the 100$ price rebate at the Google's Play Store.
Note that I didn't touch the device in terms of Bootloader, custom ROMs, or did something to it aliened from the Play Store (which should have caused an IMEI problem beforehand).
I did some tweaks but never Root or something outside the Play Store (Apex Loader, SwiftKey, Live Backgrounds, eye candy stuff )
I appreciate all of your help and tips beforehand!
Oh, and one last thing. Please, if you would be kind enough to provide me a method for a DIY I’d be much obliged! I don’t live in the United States, I live in the Dominican Republic (Caribbean). Sending the device back to Google will cost me around 50 – 100$ (Half the amount of what the Nexus cost me).
Again, Thanks a million for future replies
looks like nobody knows what to do here, sorry to hear that bro.
Wow, you really have tried everything possible. Since it's only a month old, return to google seems the only way. Normally, IMEI issues are due to blocked phones, people not paying contracts or somehing like that but since you bought it off google I don't see why. The only thing other than what you have tried is flashing the radio again.

The only thing that has worked for me on my s3 when I had no imei,baseband etc was flashing a different kernel. I hope you manage to find a fix soon. good luck

OMG! It booted! Yes! Out of the bootloop!
Seems that after flashing it to 4.2.2 and wiping the cache did the trick of getting it out of the bootloop!
Now I'll be trying to flash all radios as you suggested to get my IMEI back.
A billion thanks people!
Good work superjose and I hope you manage to get your imei back so you can continue to use this awesome phone.

I haven't solved the issue yet.
I don't know why but the phone doesn't boot when I install 4.3.1 on it (JWR66Y) It does boot with 4.2 on it. Strange... and it doesn't let me install the OTA.
I've been trying different kernels as mentioned above with no luck....
Maybe I'll try flashing an LG Optimus image to see if it works.

No.
Have you tried fastbooting a factory image from Google? Now that your able to boot, try that.

Yes! I've tried several several times. From manual fastboot to the Nexus Root Toolkit recovery option and I get hanged.
I decided that I'll be trying to see if by using some advanced recovery options I'll be able to do it.
By now I'll be tinkering a bit with Ubuntu OS to see if I can boot it at all.
By the way I did find by searching something called "Android HD super wiipe note" but I don't know how to install it... And I don't know if it will work either

Pam! Can't get it right yet! Argh! I get a black screen when I try manually installing the Ubuntu OS on the phone :/
Anyone know a way... I can still boot into 4.2.2

Maybe your boot loader is corrupted. Oraybe the recovery.

I would put 4.2 on it and reflash the boot loader and a new recovery. Just to be sure.

Already did that! Didn't work though :/
Well. I've decided to return it.
Does someone know an email or something different that is not via phone to contact Google? I've been having problems to contact it from my country.
A friend told me that there's a way in which they contact you instead. How do I do it?
Mini bump
Already issued a return with Google Since the device is within warranty they'll gladly replace it for a new one!
(Ill just get this out of the way at the start: I'm an Apple guy )
A year ago I bought a nexus 7 tablet (WiFi Only 2012 "grouper" model) because I realized how locked down Apple is :good:. I decided a couple of months ago to root it using the Nexus Root Toolkit and it went without a hitch. When KitKat came out I decided to unroot and install stock 4.3 and upgrade to KitKat (again worked perfectly no issues). Then I realize yet again that the Android stock sucks when compared to a rooted rom . Long story short I end up deciding to give Cyanogenmod a try since I've heard a lot of hype about it. I used the installer that they gave and was able start the process. About 1/4 into the install of the OS the installer decided to stop and quit (it gave me an error but i did not record it). The whole time the cyanogenmod mascot (blue android looking thing with the raised hand) remained on the screen of my device. I quit the installer and tried to run it again, and it could not locate my device. I tried rebooting my device using every method I know (Power, Volume, etc.) but i can to even get to the bootloader. When I try to reboot it comes up with the white Google logo for about 7 seconds or so and then pulls up the Cyanogenmod dude and my computer does not recognize the device (or so I think)
I'm trying to give as much info as possible as I am a COMPLETE newbie to Android. Steps made as dumb as possible would be very helpful ! If you need a picture of the screen I'm seeing just ask. (And I'm not worried at all about losing data)
-Quinton
(P.S. Stupid me decided I was too cool for a recovery, so I don't have one)
EDIT: Well I guess thats what I get for being an Apple guy... Apparently restarting your computer can fix absolutely anything
Held down volume up and down and power button all together and it wont boot to bootloader?

No, it was the weirdest thing! I couldn't even power it off either without it rebooting itself unless I held the power and volume up for more than 20 seconds...

So total black screen or does "Google" still display?

No it actually just displayed the cyanogenmod character on the whole screen couldn't do anything on the device but it finally works now, just needed to restart the PC and then run the installer again.
It's line the new cyanogen mod installer is not so safe.

Dear all,
I am a noob to android (just bought a nexus 10 and nexus 5 this month) I decided to root my devices. My nexus 10 was originally rooted with 4.3 and today an update popped up for 4.4. so I clicked restart and install, Now its stuck on the boot-up screen with the 4 dots moving around.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2419292&stc=1&d=1385608235
How do I get it to start on 4.4. I do not mind losing all my stuff.. I also don't mind the stock android, as i never installed any custom roms.
I was a previous iOS user and thought it'd be fine to just update like I did on my jailbroken iOS device.
I would greatly appreciate if someone could give me simple steps to follow..
I'm really sorry if this question has been previously asked but I searched and everyone with my problem have uploaded screenshots of their computer.. i didnt use a computer to update..
I want to just wipe data/factory reset from the boot setting but I don't want to screw things up before confirming with you guys. Also I've got clockworkMod incase thats important
Thanks a lot for all the help!
The update would have worked fine if you didn't have clock work mid installed. First thing to try to fix it is go into clock work mod recovery (hold power and volume buttons) then you can do a factory reset from there. If it still doesn't boot then just download wugfreshs toolkit. It will do it for you. I would tell you how to manually do it but since your new to android it may be better to get it done using a toolkit which is easier. In his toolkit there is an option for return to stock and from there just follow the instructions. You can search for wugs toolkit for nexus 10 and it should come up.

Hello All,
About 2 days ago i tried to root my google nexus 4, I dont know what i did, but now when i turn it on it shows the google logo then goes to where it shows an android with a red exclamation mark, does anyone know how this can be fixed, any help would be much appreciated!!
Can you be a bit more specific on what you did? Or what guide you followed?
Rooting is quick and easy on a nexus
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Then flash ROM of choice in recovery
Reboot

Ok, i had successfully rooted my phone, i then went to put on a new rom so i could use OTG storage. That got me completely stuck, i tried toget back to my normal phone but didnt know how. I foolishly went into recovery mode, and wiped everything off it. and just now i cant even do anything it just has a red light flashing at the bottom, i hope this has helpt in some way.
Do you have a custom recovery? Use adb sideload to flash the ROM, or if you have a working otg cable this should be fine too
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
UPDATE: The red light has gone (was just low on power) But the phone is still stuck in recovery mode. i have tried to "apply update from ADB" with my mac but it doesnt work and im not sure if i am doing it propperly.
I am pretty new to this kinda stuff, so i dont know what a custom recovery is, and i honestly have no idea what to do, im not really bothered about the root anymore i would rather just have my phone back to normal.
Please dont take this the wrong way and I mean no disrespect, but maybe we should just get your phone up and running and then maybe a few months from now after you've done a whole lot of reading you can consider rooting again. The n4 isn't the most expensive phone in the world but it would still be a shame to brick it, as much as I believe all androids are best to be rooted the user really needs to understand fully what s/he is doing, 95% of "help my device is bricked" threads come from lack of homework, which is easily 100s of threads a day across xda alone
OK, sorry for the lecture I've just ran into this a lot lately, and I'd be glad to help
I try not to use apple products as a whole so I can't say for sure why its not connecting with adb, is this for sure set up properly? As in has adb or fastboot worked fine in the past? Also is device currently unlocked? By a custom recovery I mean nonstock, not an oem, like twrp or clockwork.
If you want root let's download the latest twrp image for the n4, if you want factory than download latest from here
