I messed up big...Need help please

I rooted my N7 using the Nexus 7 Toolkit. Dowloaded several ROMS straight from the device to try a few out and flashed them using CWR. After realizing I was not overly happy with any of the ROMS I decided to flash back to stock. I attempted to use Step 9 in the toolkit (download, extract and flash google factory stock rom) and when it asked me if i wanted to format the device before installing I selected yes. The install failed and now the device is stuck on the fastboot screen, but non of the options work. I am assuming usb debugging is not selected as I was wiping data before each install and was installing directly from the devices memory. As it sits adb will not even recognize the device and I am hoping I have not bricked my device. Please help if you have any advice to offer. I would appreciate replies being detailed. Thanks in advance.

ok firstly you should have made a backup from clockworkmod before you flashed anything! as then you could have just reflashed it and been right back to square 1.
secondly stay calm your not bricked. adb does not work while your in fastboot mode. only fastboot mode does. i suspect that you had a bad download and its had an issue while flashing your stock rom.
so, download your prefered android version from here making sure to download the correct type for your n7 IE wifi for wifi and mobile or the 3g version. if you use the wrong type you can brick your tablet.
then simply follow this guide, changing the names of the files to match the one you download. if you follow this guide you will bet your device back to stock and bootl-able.
just make sure you have a working adb/fastboot folder and make sure you place the extracted files in that folder before you try to flash anything.
good luck pal

Twrp install problems

I am running cwm on Verizon and I am trying to install aospa(4.4) on my phone. I have to use twrp and every time I try to install twrp, it fails and I am left with a nonworking recovery. How do I install the latest version of twrp?

Try flashing with the app provided below, will do either a zip or a img file. Just make sure your new Recovery file has been Loki'd.

The Recovery imagine you downloaded should already be Loki'd. Verify this from the location or forum you got it from.

Yeah Help

Make sure the recovery you flashed with flashify was a zip or img, make sure it was for your phones model, make sure its loki'd, or download Quickboot from the play store and tap recovery.

If you've got 3.2 installed already, if 3.3 is a zip, you should just be able to flash it. :good:

everything went fine until i typed adb reboot recovery
followed the guides on here to flash TWRP, finally got everything flashed through adb and when i went to the final step to reboot in to recovery it said "error : device not found" .... Is this normal? should i just unplug/replug and try the reboot bootloader command again? It said the image was loki verified and flashed succesfully, but when i typed in reboot recovery it said "error: device not found" any advice/help is much appreciated

Help can't put rom on phone in TWRP, cant boot

Hello I was going to flash a rom from stock firmware with TWRP recovery installed when I accidentally wiped the system partition as well so there is now no rom on the internal storage and i cannot boot back into the normal firmware cause it just hangs at the LG logo on startup. I tried a USB OTG device in TWRP but it is not being detected and I don't know how to use the phone in mass storage mode inside TWRP. :crying:
Help would be much appreciated!

Have you tried adb sideload? I did the same, wiped everything, system and internal , bacups and all. I managed to sideload a flashable rom, flashed it and managed to boot up. So: ADB Sideload through twrp is your answer.

Well if you do end up fixing it upgrade to TWRP 2.6.3.4 because it has OTG support!

I'm in the same boat here except I've already tried adb sideload with twrp 2.6.3.3 and it returns an error "cannot read rom.zip" I've tried 3 different zips, many combinations of renaming the zip files. My machine is set to always show file extensions. I've also tried both ways of trying to flash back to stock in download mode. One of them just hangs at BIN CRC check the other will get to 49% and error out. Any suggestions?

VS980 Verizon. I've tried Lg flashtool with "LGVS980_20130902_LGFLASHv151.dll"
and VS98010B_13.tot. on com port 41. This one hangs at BIN CRC Check for hours. Won't go any further. I've also tried the uptest method found here in the forums with the files that are in the OP. It gets to 49% and stops and tells me to retry. When I retry it will always stop at 49%\
I can get into download mode and TWRP .While in TWRP, adb recognizes my device and shows recovery next to it. When I go to adb sideload and type adb devices again it will show that I'm in sideload mode but no files will transfer. It just returns error cannot read filename.extension. I've to sideload all kinds of files with different extension types and it always returns the same thing.

I just remembered that I had a backup made from a week or 2 ago when I was using cwm recovery. Which isnt recognized in twrp. I didn't loose all of my sdcard content with all this. I was just a moron and forgot to make a twrp backup before wiping my system. And the only rom I have on my sdcard aborts about halfway through.

Ok...so I was able to adb push a file to my sdcard using "adb push filename.zip /sdcard/filename.zip. It returned the size and time it took to transfer. But adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip gives me nothing and seems as tho it may have froze up the command prompt. GRR!

I actually tried both utilities but both resulted in error. I ended up getting it with "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip" . It took a really long time, I ended up just trying one last time and left it alone for about 10 mins. When I came back to it, it showed the size of file and time it took to push. I figured I'd post all of this on the off chance it may help someone who has a Custom recovery but no backup or Rom zips to flash on the device.

Man you are a life saver. Thanks for coming back and posting your solution for this problem. I had the exact same issue and after hours of trying to install different "rom.zip" files with the same "cannot read rom.zip" error, this finally worked.
I cannot stress enough, how helpful it is when someone like you finds an answer to a problem and takes the time to come back and post the solution.
Thanks again!!!

[Q] Unusual bootloop won't quit

So, I was running stock kitkat on a refurbished Nexus 7. After some months it just suddenly restarted and entered a bootloop. I can turn the device off and enter fastboot mode, but the recovery just seems to be broken. I've tried using the Nexus root kit utility, and "successfully" flashed 5.0.2. It said I should wait even more than 10 minutes, and that the device would seem to be on a boot loop (again), I let it do its magic all night but nothing happened. I unlocked the device and flashed 4.4.4 and I'm having the same problem, after "succesfully" flashing, the device enters the bootloop. Any ideas are much appreciated Thanks!

Please try to reflash the bootloader manually using fastboot

I tried it, but when I need to flash /system, it gave me this first:
FAILED <remote: bogus Chunk size for Chunk type Raw>
On later attempts, it gave me this one:

I'm still on a bootloop, recovery gives me a bootloop as well :/

Don't really know, I downloaded it more than 6 months ago... I think I'll re-download it and give it a try, if it doesn't, I'll try the recovery you told me. Sorry for the late reply, I don't get much free time nowadays :/ And thanks for all your support, if this gets me to a fully operable Nexus 7, I'll definitely make sure to get you a coffee! Cheers!
---[EDIT]---
I tried twrp recovery, it installs successfully but it keeps getting in a bootloop :/ I'll re-download ADB, hopefully this will help 'cause I'm running out of solutions

So..

Unable to switch on phone (maybe it got bricked)

Hi guys. Today after flashing twrp using Odin everything was fine. I went to the recovery mode to see whether it was properly flashed. It was installed properly and on exiting I saw that it it showed that my phone is not rooted and and I need to swipe to install it (though my phone was already rooted and supersu installed) . I switched on my phone and uninstalled supersu. Then I again went to the recovery mode and I swiped on the option to install supersu. But when the process was going on it somehow stopped (maybe I did it without my knowledge). Now I am not able to switch on my phone (I think it got bricked). ??? If I try to switch on it gets stuck in the Samsung icon and restarts from there again
What will I do now?

I had faced this problem.
Flash this file in recovery mode.
Go here and download That update file...
link is https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63615067&postcount=2459
Now go to recovery mode, connect usb and copy this file to you phone (sdcard or any).
Now flash that file and reboot phone.
Always click do not install when twrp says super su is not installed.
