Ok so I rooted my nexus 7 (2013) and the other day the 4.4 kitkat update came out, so naturally i updated forgeting it would take away superusers.
So i had figured out that it took it away so i flashed my nexus to 4.3 again to try and get it back. The problem now is that I cant see my nexus 7 in my device manager and the nexus is stuck on the google logo. any help?

hold power button until off, then hold down power and volume down until you get to bootloader. use fastboot to install the system image you want. if you need more guidance, pm me

Most bootloops after updates are solved by powering down and then wiping the cache/dalvik cache. There's no need to flash the system image. In fact, flashing the system image only may not get him out of the bootloop.
If he wants to go back to root, he'll need a custom recovery in any case. I'd recommend flashing a custom recovery, booting into that recovery and wiping cache/dalvik cache.

There were a couple or things that caused this, and it was stuck at the google logo (that's not a Bootloop) . I helped take care of it in the end.

My Nexus is stuck in a boot loop.
Trying to load into the ROM will leave me stuck at the Google logo but the unlocked pad(bootloader unlocked). Trying to get into recovery mode will do the same thing. I can temp boot into TWRP using wugs toolkit
I have some very important videos on my Nexus 7 that I would like to recover before flashing the stock ROM
Can anyone tell me the steps to recover when in my position?
Thanks

Hey guys,
Regardless of my low post count, I'm not a noob when it comes to rooting\unlocking\flashing. With that being said, I've run into a few problems with my Nexus 4. I was making a nandroid backup of my most recent CM 10.1 nightly and decided to flash back to stock rooted in order to fix my bluetooth issues. When attempting to restore, I received an error stating that my MD5 sum didn't match. This happened to all but one of my backups and it would old restore part of my data before failing on the "working" backup. It would boot just fine, but it was basically a factory image and none of my downloaded applications restored execpt the icons. I realized that this image was pretty unstable so I took it one step further..... I decided to restore to factory stock by flashing the factory images from google (I snagged a copy before google pulled them). I ran the flash-all.bat and it restored everything with no issues.....but now it gets stuck on the nexus "X" during boot. I left it for about an hour and it's still on the "X". At this point, I decided to relock the bootloader and call google.
I realized that something is probably corrupt so I called Google and got an RMA but I won't get a new phone until LG makes more Nexus 4's (Nexi?, lol).
Does anyone have any ideas what could have happened? ANy ideas on how to fix this? I'd much rather fix this damn thing instead of going thru the RMA process.
Boot into stock recovery, clear cache and factory reset. You'll be up and running.

Maybe I'm more of a newb than I realize, lol.
How do I do that via stock rocovery? I just have the red triangle. I know how to do that in Team Win and CWM, but not in stock.
Boot into the bootloader by holding volume down and power.
Use the volume key to toggle to recovery and press power to select.
When you see the exclamation. Press volume up and power to open the recovery menu.
Then clear cache and factory reset.

I went ahead and unlocked the bootloader again and flashed CWM touch in the meantime. I cleared cache and reset. Same result. It's just hanging on boot.
No you need to do this in the stock recovery.

If I knew who you were......i'd kiss ya. Thanks man. It's fixed.
Now, just out of curiousity, why does that only work in stock recovery instead of a custom recovery?
Not entirely sure. The stock recovery wipe clears everything including data/media/
There also seems to be an issue with the bootloader not properly wiping the device. Hopefully they can fix the bug in a future update.
No kiss needed. Just a thanks and a virtual high five will do.

I see what you mean about not wiping everything.....after all the wiping and flashing, it still had my same custom wallpaper from my CM 10.1 ROM when it booted. Weird.
Thanks again.
That's not because of something not getting wiped.
Its because your wallpaper syncs to Google. It's auto downloaded and applied when signing in for the first time.

Ok i was updating my rooted nexus 7 (2012) of the air to 4.4 kitkat. It downloaded and installed but when it was time for it to boot it just got stuck at the 4.4 booting screen (the circles) so i looked on the forums and it said to format everything (cache, system, sd) via clockworkmod so i did. When i tried to reboot it just got stuck at the Google loading screen.
1st Forum i will use this heaps more if the community can help me out

TWRP and I forgot that I shouldn't let it "fix" broken root.
I just used the basic guide on how to flash a factory image of 4.3 in smaller pieces with fastboot, skipping userdata (so I could keep mine), and then sideloaded the two KRT OTA followed by flashing SuperSU 1.75. I did all that in one go, on my second Nexus 7, before booting it the first time.

1st Make sure you are on the latest twrp. 2nd it would be easier just to flash a stock ROM in recovery instead of flashing the factory images.. Is there a particular need for using the factory images or do u just want a working ROM?

Hi everyone,
I let my Nexus 7 update via the OTA update. It seemed to go OK but now when I boot I just got the Google logo, then these "bouncing" circles that appear to have taken the place of the original boot animation.
It doesn't seem to boot any further? Can anyone help?
I had this last night when my device updated, I just turned out off and back on and it seemed fine but I did lose root access,

I had this problem when I had a custom kernel on the device. If that's the case for you, just fastboot flash the boot image from the Nexus Binaries page.
Otherwise, you might need to adb logcat to see what's going on. For me it wasn't obvious what was up, it just kept getting to a certain spot in the boot and dalvik was crashing. I just figured it out by trying stuff.
If all else fails, you can try flashing the whole system as well, start fresh in case you've made other modifications to the ROM, although OTA's usually fail in those cases.
I do have cwm installed.

I chose the quickest path by using the "nexus root toolkit".

I ended up just flashing the stock image file. Kind of wanted to do a stock install anyway.
So when I try to install the new 4.4 update it is stuck on the rebooting now screen, It has been there for 20 minutes. I am unlocked and rooted if that makes a difference. Also I tried to flash thunderkat and that also failed in twrp. I have no clue why. Just seeing if anyone might have an answer for my problem.

I had exactly the same, you must exit out of bootloop, factory reset then continue. WUGS NRT for N10 tells you to do it and how and when. I've only had this issue on N10, not my N7 or N4.

Huh? Are you updating? Don't. Do fresh stock install. Then unroot with no custom recovery. Then install custom recovery.

In the mean time, you can return to normal by reflashing the cm nightly/stable ROM you were running when you tried to update to 4.4. I had the same issue, but managed to reflash the stable cm 10.2 zip and my nexus began to function again.

But also I would like to know how to go about reflashing stock and undoing root without permanently losing my game data. From what I understand, a nandroid backup would take care of all of that for me?

Flash the latest Factory image via fastboot. There is a way tot modify the flash-all.bat so it wont wipe any data.

Yes.
So? I backup myself and restore myself, using LAN file-server for small files and a USB drive for large files.
There is more time wasted in trying to keep data and settings than the time it takes to re-enter.
