[Q] Nexus 7 Stuck on cm10 Start Up Help!

Okay so i was watching a video on youtube on how to get cm10 on my nexus 7, i bought the nexus 7 off a friend who rooted it for me and he had clockword recovery or whatever you call it set up on it. So the video said to download rom manager and then i went to download and downloaded the stable cm10 with gapps. Then it rebooted and what not and now its been stuck in the cyanogenmod spinning circle start up for about 2-3 hours now. So i held the volume and power button to get to the fastboot thing and shut the nexus off and then i restarted it and then.. the google sign came with the unlock icon and then the cyanogenmod circle came again -.- Please help if you can, sorry if any of this doesnt make any sense im new to all this. Thankyou in advance.

Power off fully, then hold the Vol+Pwr buttons down until it goes to the fastboot menu. Vol down to select recovery. I would do a factory reset and reflash the ROM + gapps.

Yea i did that right, it goes into the fastboot menu and i go to recovery mode. And when i click the power button, all that happens is that the black screen with google and the unlocked logo show up, and it stayed like that for like 2 hours again -.-
Do you know why that happens?

If you reflashed the rom I'm guessing a bad download.
ETA: Did you make a nandroid before installing? If so restore that.

Oh okay. So u suggested to do a hard reset. How exactly can i do that? My nexus wont load past the load up screen, on some occasions it goes past the google and unlock logo but then a cyanoggenmod spinning circle thing comes and then that just stays there.

Go to the bootloader (vol dwn+pwr), and plug into computer. Then select recovery mode.
Do a factory reset from there. Then reinstall CM10.

Oh okay, actually im really glad u just said this because i just tried this way. I powered off my tablet, then turned it on with vol dwn and power to get into the bootloader. Then i plugged my tablet into my laptop and now the volume keys wont let me scroll down to recovery mode. Pretty much the volume button becomes useless to scroll. Any help?

If the Vol buttons aren't working I'm out of ideas besides: try again? Otherwise you're going to have to wait for someone smarter than me. Sorry.
ETA: Found this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796 Maybe it'll help you.

wait do i have to have the latest drivers for nexus 7 installed on my pc b4 i plug it in? If you do know, let me know where i can find them. If you dont no worries ill wait for someone else, thanks for your help so far.

Hey don't know if you got your Nexus working again but I saw this thread about the buttons not working. Not sure what version bootloader you have.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840675

Make sure you wipe the Cache and Dalvik Cache!!
When I first flashed CM, I got the infinite boot animation as well. I rebooted into recovery, did a wipe of my caches, and it was fine from that point on.
Also, when going from one rom from another, you gotta do a factory reset if you didn't already.

Yea I forgot to clear all the data.. nvr again but I can't get into recovery thats the problem. I have the 3.34 bootloader and it doesn't go to recovery and I tried plugging into my pc and then the volume rockers become useless. Any help plz?

I had the same problem this morning. After about an hour of messing with stuff I used mskip's toolkit to uninstall then reinstall the drivers. I
then rebooted into the bootloader without a cable and then connected the cable and the buttons were still responding. After that I updated
the bootloader to the latest release and I was about to boot into recovery.

Help - Bricked after trying to flash ROM

I'm stuck and wondering if someone could help guide me.
I had root and the latest TWRP installed.
What I did:
Enter TWRP
Advanced wipe, selecting system, data, cache and dalvik.
Installed a test rom.
Reboot
Now stuck with the following screen
If I power off and try holding the power and vol down buttons I just get the same screen.
If I connect to my Windows 7 x64 PC it now shows up as a QHSUSB_BULK device.
I've tried following the instructions to flash back to stock using the Flash tool, but nothing happens. If I click on the Information button, it says Port USB not found.
Any idea's?
EDIT:
If I click on start in Flash Tool, it does carry on, but I get stuck with it asking me to connect the usb cable. I think it's the QHSUSB drivers I need?

Holy COW.....
I've been trying to do it since last night (30+ times) and couldn't get it to show up. I had given up, thinking I had to send to LG, but I have just managed to get in. Practice and perseverance is what you need. I will now practice getting into recovery this way!
Just to confirm:
Hold Power and Volume Down buttons till phone reboots.
As soon as you see LG appear on the phone let go of the buttons.
Within 1/2 a second, press the power button again.
At the prompts, press the power button twice as if you are doing a factory reset. If you don't see the Factory Reset screen, start from 1 again.
Enter TWRP and breathe.
I might leave my phone alone for a while now, as I cant take the pressure!
I had said to myself I would run stock on this phone, but once again I rooted, and then put recovery on. I'm getting too old for the excitement!
:victory:

Good that you managed to fix your phone.

When you hold these two buttons and you see the LG logo, release and hold them again fast until you see factory reset screen. At this point press the power key three times and you will go to recovery. An press the thanks button here.

I think you have have to hold for 5 seconds to completely power down.
Hold vol- and power key and when logo pops up release power key and again hold power key then Reset screen should display. Press power until it starts factory reset which will dump you into Recovery.

No with no rom it will probably just sit on the LG logo or something
Have you tried this?

i had to get ADB on my device to root and put CM there in the first place, not sure why its not working now... maybe because USB debug isnt checked? i have no clue.
all i need are drivers right? is there a good link for re-setting that up

http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-D801 scroll down and download... the driver should work fine even though its d801

try putting a rom on a usb stick and then in recovery install from usb? not sure whether that would work but its worth a try

i installed those drivers but its not recognizing device in adb

[Q] [LG Optimus e400] LG Logo on CWM Reboot Into Recovery

Used SuperOneClick 1.7 RageAgainstTheCage to root the phone.
Installed ROM Manager.
Downloaded "cm-9-20130929-NIGHTLY-e400.zip" from the CyanogenMod site.
Downloaded "gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip" from goo.im.
Put phone into USB file mode.
Transferred the .zip's onto the SD card.
Went into ROM Manager.
Selected "Install ROM from SD Card".
Selected the CM9 .zip.
Confirmed the reboot.
It reboots and only shows the LG logo and sits there forever.
Holding the power button reboots the phone and it's back like it was.
SuperUser is installed and ROM Manager has SuperUser permissions.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you 're already installed cwm recorevy? if yes, then go to cwm recovery (home + vol- + power) and wipe everything , reflash again.
seem cause of you not wipe before flashing

Ok, so I removed the battery for about 30 seconds, then put it back in.
Held down the Home & Volume - & Power buttons.
The Menu and Back lights blinked.
I continued holding the buttons down for about a minute and a half, and the lights kept blinking. I assumed they would continue blinking forever, so I let go of the buttons.
The phone boots up to the lock screen like normal.
What am I missing?
====================
EDIT > I tried holding Home & Volume - & Power while on the Home screen, the Power Off menu came up, kept holding the buttons, the phone shut down and rebooted back to the lock screen like normal. So I guess it's still a no-go for me at this point.
EDIT 2 > According to other threads here some are having to unlock the bootloader. Where's a good place to start looking for how to do that if it's needed for this phone?

So I've been googling this crap for 3 days now, and it seems that my phone is just this magic piece of crap that will only show the LG logo while trying to do a hard reset or trying to get into recovery. I'm at my wit's end.

I removed the battery, plugged it in via USB to PC, held down Vol Down, Vol Up, & Power (it was showing an animation that looked like it was showing me to put the back of the phone on), the animation goes away as I'm holding the buttons, the Menu and Back button lights started flashing quickly, I let go of the buttons, then it shows the LG Logo for a few seconds, then it shows the blue TracFone logo for a few seconds, then goes back to showing the animation again.

I got it using "adb reboot recovery". The problem was that the recovery wasn't properly pushed because of so little space on this phone. It's slightly different than the regular L3 e400's because of some reason. It's a Straight Talk LG Optimus Dynamic. Thanks for your replies.

Issue after installing camera mod

I installed AOSB recently and decided to try out xdebbebs camera mod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548974) and now it gets stuck at the boot screen. I can't get recovery to come up via power+vol down and if I try to access it via ADB it says unauthorized.
i can get into the hardware button control menu where it shows my imei and allows me to select answering calls by pressing both volume buttons and that.
i also am able to get into download mode. but i cant find the drivers and they wont auto install

Hold power+volume down
Let go of power button for a second when lg logo pops up then press again you should see something that says factory reset hit power a few times it should go into twrp or cwm hope it works
