So i have an original Nexus 7, Which has an unlocked bootloader, teamwin recovery v2.6 and completely stock apart from cereberus flashed in recovery.
I am currently in an area where i have very very limited access to internet for 10 days, so am slightly frustrated about that....
4.4 updated downloaded overnight before i travelled and i noticed once i arrived it was ready for install. I let the update go through, and teamwin recovery asked if i want to fix the superuser permissions, to which i said yes.
The N7 rebooted and has been stuck on the spinning circles since then.
I have access to the boot loader and to the recovery but it appears i have USB debug switched off so cannot acces it with adb
I tried a factory reset from recovery but this hasn't helped
Is there a way to get a ROM onto it so i can flash it from recovery, the start from scratch?
Or have a royally screwed it?

I followed the guides and unlocked & rooted my Nexus 7 tablet. It took a while, but I got it to work eventually. I'm rooted now, and I flashed CWM Recovery 6 (regular) and did a Nandroid backup. When I restarted from CWM, it asked me if I wanted to fix the tablet so that it wouldn't re-flash the stock recovery on reboot, and I said "yes" so I could keep CWM Recovery. However, the next time I rebooted and tried to go to Recovery, the tablet just hung at the Google boot logo with the unlocked padlock icon and wouldn't go into Recovery. I've reflashed CWM from the Rom Manager app, but I cannot get it to work. Any solutions?
Connect a USB cord to your computer. The custom ROM reboot to recovery function works but manually going to boot loader then recovery requires a USB cable connected to a computer on the other end.

I recently just picked up a nexus 4 and i'm trying to get a custom ROM on it. I updated it to 4.3 and that was fine. Went to install custom recovery and every since it will not boot! I've reverted to factory 4.3 using fastboot, and relocked it and locked it but still will not boot. It gets stuck at the X logo. Left it for an hour and won't get past it. If i install a custom recovery, it'll boot into the custom recovery no problem, but won't install root as it can't mount the SD card. I can get to fastboot mode no problem and flash stuff in fastboot but will never boot up. I'm puzzled as to what to do. I'm going to try 4.2.2 factory image here shortly and see if i can get it to take. I forgot to enable USB debugging so i think thats why i can't get custom recoveries to work. I tried pushing a ROM using ADB push but it wouldn't get there. Maybe it did as it said it did on the computer but the recovery won't read the memory. Any ideas as to what to do
UPDATE: Ok after flashing stock 4.2.2 from fastboot it boots.
UPDATE: turns out just having USB debugging was the culprit of everything. So make sure USB debugging is enabled before starting the whole process!
Hi, I just tried Modding on Android for the first time. I went about this using adb commands in Ubuntu Terminal. I unlocked my bootloader then (I think) I flashed twrp recovery onto my Nexus 4 (Build Number LMY470.) When I went to check if my flashing of twrp was successful, it brought me stock recovery. I saw online that someone was in the same situation and they used the
Code:
fastboot erase cache
so I tried the same. In the terminal it looked like it was successful but as soon as I went to recovery mode it brought me to stock recovery again. In the recovery menu it said something about failing unmount or something. After this I tried turning my phone on and it has been stuck in the boot animation for the past 50 minutes. What should I do? Thanks!
EDIT: I factory reset my device after an hour and a half of not knowing you could get out of the boot animation. Now my recovery works. No replies needed.
My NP's bootloader is unlocked with custom recovery installed.
I ran SuperSU last night and accidentally flashed custom recovery with "NORMAL" setting. I got an unsuccessful warning message. When I checked my NP the next day, it is in an endless boot loop. What can I do now?
My apologies if this has been asked countless of times.
Anyone?
But you can access to recovery?
Yes I can, what do I do after accessing recovery?
If you can acces to recovery, you can flash stock rom or maybe a custom...wich recovery do you have installed?
As long as you can get your Nexus Player to the bootloader screen, Nexus Root Toolkit can flash a factory image to get your device up and running. The instructions at https://support.google.com/androidtv/answer/6121450?hl=en explain how to access the bootloader.
While on a developer preview of Android N with my unlocked rooted phone and TWRP 3.0.2-1, I accidentally ran the September OTA. The OTA failed, but left a mess behind with the phone rebooting 4-5 times a day.
Today, I decided to fix the problem, so I flashed the latest official image (NRD90U). Complete wipe, but since I have backups, I considered it to be no big deal. Turns out it was
The phone is now a boot loop (corrupt warning -> google logo -> corrupt warning -> google logo...). Reflashing changes nothing. Trying to boot (fastboot boot) TWRP (any version) does not work (it just goes into the boot loop). Tried to downgrade back to 6, same problem. Nothing seems to work.
Somehow, something is still ****ed up on the phone, but I have no idea what. This seems to be very similar to this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/help/help-help-help-hard-bricked-6p-t3428225/page3), but there does not seem to be a solution.
Is it definitely bricked or is there anything I can do from fastboot to try and fix this? I am unlocked. I just need a stupid TWRP so I can restore my backup and hopefully get back to a working state from there.
PS: I'm sure I downloaded the right image and flashed it properly.
