Hello there
I have a Nexus tablet that somehow got bricked on the last update (will not boot the OS) but I can boot into recovery mode. I have tried using Nexus Toolkit and can see the device through adb. I have all the necessary drivers as well.
My problem is that I cannot put a new image onto the SD card using adb because USB debugging mode is not enabled which can only be enabled by the OS which wont boot.
What do I do?
Sorry if this isnt the right forum for this.
Thanks
Have you tried factory reset? Might be your only option.

flash twrp. Twrp supports Adb

factory image lol.
1.download a factory image for your n7
2.get Nexus Root Toolkit and open it
3.in the toolkit go to back to stock
4.select Soft-bricked/bootloop
5.then select Flash stock + unroot
6.and everything else Is pretty much self-explanatory
I hope I helped
If you need more help just tell me.

Okay guys, this is another one of those unbrick threads. I have been installing roms and kernels quite a lot recently, but I recently came into a problem. I hit wipe sd card, and it wiped all of the roms, and apps from the device. I basically have nothing installed. I do have twrp, nexus root toolkit, and adb though, so what should I do? Thanks
Try returning to stock. That also happened to my friend who has TWRP. It seems like TWRP screws up a lot of peoples devices. He had an S2. He just returned to stock and reflashed CM10 and it was fine. Now he is a CWM user.

How would I re install those roms though, it even deleted the backups . I have adb but no fast boot
Adb push a rom.zip to /sdcard then install it from recovery

Don't I need fastboot for that?
Also left recovery and now the hardware keys don't work but adb still does, so I don't know if I can get back in to recovery
Download your stock ROM, and reflash it.
You will get a ton of thanks if you can walk me through it .
The keys probably don't work while in the bootloader because of the stupid bug, connect it via USB and it probably will. You can use adb while the device is booting up (or stuck halfway booting up) or you can use fast boot from the bootloader to bring it back to stock. Check the unbrick threads for instructions on how to do it.
Just get Wug's toolkit and click on the "Flash Stock And Unroot" Button.

Tried it, but at the end it said fastboot device not found. What should I do?
How should I go about using Odin ? Would it work? Thanks
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

I bricked my phone after doing an OTA Update with root and TWRP installed.. I've never had this hard time to unbrick a phone.. I am stuck at recovery, can't go to Download mode, G2 Drivers didn't work for the PC so I installed Universal drivers and it got recognised. I follow this step-by-step thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 and everything is good until I get to flash the stock kdz. It says that my phone is not connected to the PC and can't continue flashing. I really need help on that because I can't get out of this by now and I really need to get it back on track.. :crying:

So what I did was put it into recovery. Go to adb and turn it on in recovery. Connect to the computer. Download Android sdk. Set up the sdk. Get a zipped rom. Sideboard from the computer. Install the rom. All was then go. Thoughts?.

You can use sideload to copy a ROM and install it at the same time. You can do this through twrp. Refer this http://teamw.in/ADBSideload

To get to stock ROM, connect to your PC, get into fastboot mode and run the flash-all.bat file (unzip the factory image in the folder Android/sdk/platform-tools on your PC)

Have you tried flashing the factory image? get into fastboot mode from twrp and flash the stock rom.
Sent from my Nexus 4
Flashed TWRP. Went to reboot, and it asked me to flash Super SU to root.
So I did, now it's stuck in a boot loop.
Also when starting the phone I get a message saying 'your device is corrupt'.
Any ideas?
Can you still get into bootloader?
As always , not bricked , not even close .
Your bootloader is fine , flash the factory image

i did this same thing, i cant copy the stock rom over in twrp so i am stuck. guess i got a bunch more reading to do, i am trying to figure out how to flash the rom through adb.
edit: i used the skipsoft toolkit and reverted back to stock everything went smoothly.
Go to twrp format user data by wipe data and user data. Reboot recovery and install a kernel with out force encrypted or install the new twrp and should be OK

If you can't adb in recovery is a driver issue. Download the koush version and uninstall the Google drivers. It will work.
