[Q] Nexus 7 reboots to former state constantly - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi My 2012 nexus 7 16gb wifi updated to 4.3 and since September 11th it will not factory reset, remote reset, sideload updates or unlock bootloader.
Every boot the same app update, even if I updated them all in previous boot minutes earlier, the nexus randomly reboots It's self too.
If I delete the data it returns on reboot, nothing I can do gets a different outcome, I'm not keen on returning it as is as all my data and accounts can be accessed in current state, even credit card through google play!
I waited for 4.4 to be released in the hope the update might cure this, but I cannot update it, please advise on how I might fix this or completely wipe my nexus?
Thanks

Use wugfresh's toolkit to redo your install. It will restore it to a factory state. The only problem people seem to have is getting the drivers installed properly, so it may take you a little while. Just be patient and follow the instructions and/or go to the thread for help.

Hi have tried every option on the toolkit, adb and fastboot drivers are working ok, but it reboots as part of the install and goes back to previous state!

What options did you select? Did you try Flash Stock +Unroot >Current: Soft-Bricked/Bootloop? I actuary have a n7 2012 that I need to redo to factory state, so I'm going to do that with wugfresh's toolkit and see where we differ...

Hi, I have tried every option, even the advanced options, part of the process is booting and as soon as the nexus reboots its back to original state, same with factory reset :crying:

That is strange. If you did fastboot erase user data and that didn't wipe everything idk. What about mskip's toolkit? I remember a while back wugs kit didn't work for me, but mskips did. Did you try his toolkit?

Hi, yes I tried version 5.0 with no joy!

This is what happens when I try to adb sideload image-nakasi-krt16o.zip
Signature verification failure
So when I'm there I do a factory wipe, all successful till I reboot and everything is as it was previously!

I just flashed the 4.4 update on the nexus 7 2012 using wugstoolkit. At first when I downloaded the factory image and tried to flash it, it wouldn't wipe the tablet like you said and flash the update. Then I started playing with the locks. I think I chose to relock it, unlock, then flash stock + unroot and it worked. If you haven't figured it out, that's what it seemed to take for it to work for me...

I followed those instructions from laptopmag and the worked to the tee. You shouldn't have needed to sideload anything. You had it unlocked at first, so what do you mean "it won't unlock?" You can see it in your screenie below, and I can also see that the fastboot commands were working so there wasn't a driver problem. What did you do after you did the fastboot oem unlock command in the screenie below? Did you fastboot the bootloader, then the factory image.zip? It looks like everything was working for you as it should, so what happen? I've done the laptopmag instructions two times and every thing is working fine for me; the tablet was erased both times as well. I'm curious at what point in the laptopmag instructions are you experiencing the problem?

It all appears to unlock, but lock state staus is always Locked
same as factory reset works fine, till it reboots to its default state!
I'm convinced its a hardware issue

I have EXACTLY the SAME problem
It really is an impossible problem. NOTHING will fix it!
I too am convinced it is a hardware problem.
I have given up & bought a 2013 version.
Let us know if you succeed....

Yes it would appear you have a developer Rom and I doubt it would be useful to anyone. Basically you have two options:
1) Send it back to Google for a replacement. (Could end up waiting a number of weeks)
2) Flash the Factory Image for the Nexus 10 which can be found at:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#mantaray
This will load the final release of JB which should be already on your device and you could be up and running in 15 mins.

if you flash the factory image you will then be the same as everyone else, no restrictions whatsoever.
Follow this guide:
http://androidtobe.blogspot.co.uk/2011/12/galaxy-nexus-installing-ics-402-from.html
That is for the Galaxy Nexus however the same commands still apply. Just ensure you download the correct Factory Image and change the file name where appropriate.

Isn't there any solution to "reset" to normal state without going to unlock process and flashing all partitions manually ?
what is the normal way to get back to org. Image when "normal Nexus 10" devices are out of order ?
We urgently need root and CWM on this tablet ...8)

The normal way is to restore the device using the correct nexus factory image for your device then executing the flash all script included with the factory image. This script will flash all the necessary partitions for you and reset your device to factory stock. This method doesn't require unlocking the bootloader and doesn't require root.

So - can you give us the link to the "right" image - and write 2-3 lines how to flash ? Volume up/down Power to stock recovery etc. Copy image to where ... etc ... this would be wonderful ... thank you so much ...
Nexus 10 Factory Image:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#mantarayjop40c
You also need to set up the Android SDK, especially adb and fastboot.
Reboot to bootloader:
adb reboot-bootloader
When in fastboot mode, you can start flashing the factory images.
flash-all.bat does all the work for you.
But make sure, adb AND fastboot is working inside CMD!
Thank you very much ... we will give it a try ... even if i don't know how many user get a developer version of the Nexus 10 ... this order was normaly done ... and we were some kind of surprised when the tab was started ...8)
Oh Google .. something went realy wrong this time ... 8)
Interesting that you're the second person to have this debug ROM installed and both of you are in Germany.
Me too, same here, living in Germany.

VS980 TWRP bootloop after botched lollipop OTA while rooted like a dummy

So yeah. As the title says I had a rooted VS980 on 4.4.2 with some bloat removed and I accidently hit the wrong button when prompted for the upgrade, I was in a hurry. yes, I'm a moron, and yes, I know this is probably wasting someone's valuable time and I thoroughly apologize for my n00bishness
having said that, I have tried to go through various tuts but none of them seem to be working. yes, it's likely that I am simply doing it wrong, but whatever the case I am stuck with my phone in a bootloop always returning to the TWRP recovery. I believe that means it is soft bricked so I'm hoping this can be fixed fairly easily with the right direction and some patience for my ignorance. I can't seem to get it into download mode with turning it off, holding the volume+ button and plugging it in, it just goes to twrp. :'(
my hope is to get a rooted lollipop. if that is not possible then I would be fine with going back to stock or possibly even a custom rom if it's not too awfully complicated. honestly, I'm at a point where I'm beginning to accept that I probably shouldn't be screwing around with it too much and will likely bite the bullet and just keep my phone stock since there are really only a few minor irritants that make me want to root it.
any help is very much appreciated.

actually, it doesn't look to be the same problem. i dont have download mode, but i do have recovery. it boots to twrp like a champ. what i think i really need is how to get the flash file VS98011A_01.zip on my phone via ADB Sideload, specifically when i cant get the drivers to work.
i've tried the following drivers:
LG_VZW_United_WHQL_v2.14.1.exe
LG_VZW_United_WHQL_v2.20.0.exe
LGUnitedMobileDriver_S50MAN310AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.10.1_3.10.1.0
I may very well be mistaken about what needs to happen, i'm no expert, obviously, but from everything ive read any of those should have worked. i think if i can get the right flash on the phone i should be able to flash it via twrp no?
I"ll help

i just happened to have a brand new data cable, tried again with same result so its not media related unless there is an issue with the plug itself, but it's charging and the Device manager shows the correct name ie VS980, it just has a yellow bang on it and i cant find a driver that changes that.
read some more and found others with the same issue apparently which led me to here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715408
which is where i found the "download mode restore" file you mentioned(i didnt see it in the thread you provided), but without the ability to get adb usb command to work i dont see how i can use it.
any ideas?
Put the zip on usb otg and flash it.

So I really didn't get a fix- still working on it.
I have no download mode, and not way to get the serial port to display in device manager, so the LG Mobile support tool won't see my phone....

I flashed back to stock using the Nexus Root Toolkit by Wugfresh. I just flashed CM 13.0 to see if the problem was a hardware malfunction, but the mobile radio worked while running cyanogenmod. I am not downloading the factory image and I am going to attempt to flash it manually. Any ideas of comments? I really have not clue as to why the radio isn't working other than that it might be caused by flashing through the Nexus Root Toolkit.

So I flashed the factory images using your method provided and I am still having the same issue Let me describe a little more in detail what exactly is going on. So obviously mobile data isn't working, including LTE 4G, 3G, and 2G, but I get calls and texts no problem. When I look at my status bar, LTE is not showing up, but if I pull down the quick toggles the phone says I have LTE connection but no data is coming in or going out. LTE also loses connection when I turn off "Enhanced 4G LTE Mode" (I'm on T-Mobile). Additionally, when I create a mobile hotspot, data works but only on 3G speeds. I honestly don't know what I'm doing wrong. Maybe i'm flashing the wrong factory image? I flashed MDB08M.
Same here with SkipSoft Toolkit, after unlock, root, busybox, wifi noproblem, but no LTE/3G on my phone, i try to relock bootloader and back to Factory image now.
Sigh!?!

I honestly don't know what's going on there, it might be worth trying the L build instead of M.
Can you download latest nexus 6p android m image and flash each file manually? It's going to wipe everything but will return everything to stock. Let me know if you need help with flashing stock files via adb.

I seem to have touched that issue I was on the L build and went to M build using toolkit but noticed my apns got screwy so I corrected them and I'm on pure nexus and a-ok now!
I'm having a similar but different issue, I bought a used 6p... Good ESN.... A 64 GB to upgrade from my current 32 GB 6p. Everything works (including mobile data and texts) except for phone calls, it won't call out and goes strait to voicemail when calling in.
I had unlocked the bootloader and installed chroma, but still no phone calls, so I flashed back to stock and relocked the bootloader. Still nothing. I read this thread suggesting that I shouldn't use the automated tool kits, so I backed up and manually flashed it back to the latest stock image via fastboot. But same issue.... Back to no phone calls in or out, everything else working though.
Any suggestions?

[Discussion] Dumb attempt to upgrade to Marshmallow with TWRM in osprey

Hi everyone, posting this as a information about something you should NOT try: upgrade your OTA rom with custom recovery installed, in my case TWRP.
I did this with ignorance of not think that (or search about) the custom rom could interfere at the normal process of OTA upgrade from Lollipop to MarshMallow. Actually I remembered that I was unlocked and rooted the phone but I did not remember I was using custom recovery. AFAIK at this device is impossible to root without unlocking and custom recovery.

If you are on TWRP don't do this!
For those don't know about TWRP and OTA updates, read this:
https://twrp.me/faq/officialota.html
In short terms: don't try OTA updates (official updates) if you installed custom rom such as TWRP. "Installing official updates from your manufacturer or carrier is not supported by TWRP." "[This] may result in unexpected behavior" "Most of the time the best way to get a new update onto your device is to simply wait a couple of days for ROM makers for your device to come up with ROMs that are based on the new update that you can safely and easily install."
But I did it. And now I'm reporting it for those who are curious. So, what's happened?
Fortunately the device is not bricked as I thought when it reboot to TWRP for flashing the OTA update instead of the stock recovery process! I thought that I messed everything when I see the frozen TWRP for something about 10 minutes or less. After the long 10 minutes of frozen TWRP image I got the recovery working and checked the log:
Of course, errors on the log.
Rebooted and got a frozen background image, after a while a permanent black. When the screen turn off the notification system shows the battery as dead (and it as not). But I could turn it off and gain access to the recovery holding power and volume down buttons.
After two failed reboots to the system with the same result I tried to make a screenshot using the hard buttons and it works (screenshoted the black screen) and suddenly the lock screen shows up. I got into, everything working slow meaning that there was a lot things working in the background. Got some error messages from google service and MMS/SMS communication and minutes later it automatically reboots and booted the TWRP again.
This turned to a loop. I stopped this by going to the system setup - about the device - check for updates. And got a message "the update has failed". Good. After a while the message offering the update shows again... No, thanks...
I rebooted to TWRP and fixed the permissions, maybe this solve some problems.
Right now the phone is working but the rebooting process has unexpected behaviors, some tries result in a normal fast process and other tries result in a long black image and the system/launcher just don't arm up for some minutes, but after a while it works. I'm not confident. Already backed up apps with Titanium backup.
I'm planning to restore everything from the stock using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...e-restore-moto-e-2015-stock-firmware-t3054303
And them, maybe, update the OTA to marshmallow. Before doing that, I will search and get to know if it is possible to re-root the phone with marshmallow in osprey (that means re-unlock and install TWRP again). Rooted device it's a need for me.
This is what happened to my device when tried to OTA update with TWRP. I had luck not bricking this.
+1 on the dumb attempt. Early morning, excited for the release, upgrade please! Yeah, no good. Is restoring our only option? Seems the upgrade has not even started so what about deleting the downloaded image file or trying to kill the process attempt?
did you really had to make a new thread with that huge wall of text? haha come on man, common knowledge that to take the OTA you need stock recovery ?

Yeah, DON'T proceed with the update! Deleting the downloaded files just break the process... My advise is to make a backup before deleting this.

Ok, sorry about the huge wall of text.
No need to adb stock image. A simple factory reset worked for me. Next time will have more caffiene before attempting anything major with my phone.

Good to know that a factory reset could fix the problems caused by the OTA update with TWRP. But after this it should remain with custom recovery and not possible to OTA update. for stock MM

I experience this today, I flashed a stock rom again so I can have the OTA update, but what I can't do is root my device, I flash the custom recovery and then I flash the beta version of SuperSU, and when I reboot my device it bricks in the Motorola Logo, anybody knows how to fix this, or should I wait a little bit longer to root my phone? as the OP I need root too
Use the latest 2.62 superSU zip. And never root with the TWRP option before reboot.

Never done that, I tried flashing the superSU 2.52 from a bunch of tutorials I found on Google, but all it does is bricking my phone on the Motorola Logo, then I have to do all the downgrade and update process again

this is a known issue with the mm update. Use 2.61 or newer, only. These are the new systemless root zips.

So its posible to root MM ?? Safe ,stable?

October Security Update just released today.
Official 2020, October, MiA2 Stock fastboot ROM image V11.0.15.0.QDIMIXM link in appropriate thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83773363&postcount=144
CAPTCHA:
After clean fastboot flashing of this version with flash_all_except_data -> rebooting phone forces to stock recovery and requests factory reset.
Seems like after installing OTA possible behaviours are: either the same request for reset, or bootloop.
Reflashed back V11.0.14.0.QDIMIXM in order to make data backup

nice! thanks for this!
Tried to apply update from OTA and my device failed to start, tried again and same result. Anyone else facing the same problem?
Tonight I'll try to flash full image directly.
Yes, the update seems buggy.
Even my phone was not able to start after the update.
Tried multiple times. Eventually had to factory reset it ?

same here, now I'll try to flash V11.0.14.0.QDIMIXM and let's see...
*update1*
It worked, I did flash_all_except_data and at first reboot it went to recovery and it showed up the same message saying that data may be corrupt but when I tried to boot it again it worked fine... now I'll backup everything and let's see if it works well at every reboot.
*update2*
everything fine running V11.0.14.0.QDIMIXM
So this is yet another botched update to skip, got it.
Thank you, brave ones who are willing to update first.
I'm just too afraid to update this device nowadays.
I had to reset device after last update this is really worst device support I had
For those who have reverted to V11.0.14.0.QDIMIXM, you don't have any bootloop on androidone screen?
My wife did the update, so I reverted to V11.0.14.0.QDIMIXM with flash_all_except_data but for now it still bootloop
updated successfully. there are no visible improvements

I tried unsuccessfully to reboot, Everytime showed this message, finally I accepted to erase the phone and let download the backup, I lost some downloaded stuff I may download again later.
It's an Shane this happening to Android one devices, suddenly we got from special to second class citizens
I had the same problem, which was solved for me by going into fastboot and issuing a fastboot boot recovery which for some reason returned by phone to a working state with an update failed notification. will skip this one

Hi,
All I did was go into fastboot using the power and volume shortcut, and than I connected the device to my laptop and issued the command:
fastboot reboot recovery
(naturally using the SDK Platform tools)
After that, the phone started working again. Although there is no reasonable reason it should have worked. I was surprised enough so that I decided to take the effort to create an account here and share this for others. But again, maybe it was pure luck, YMMV.
Will be crossing my fingers for you.
I've tried to update and got the "Can't load Android system. Your data may be corrupt" messege. Tried again a few times, until the phone reverted back to the previous version and said it couldn't install the update. No October update for me. =(
