Hi guys,
I am new to this Forum and I am German so please understand that my english is not the best.
A few days ago I flashed my Nexus 7 (2012) with the newest Ubuntu Touch Version after having android before. After succesfully flashing the device with the OS it booted with no problem but UbuntuTouch didn't quite come to my expectations, so I decided to switch back to Android. I tried that by simply following the steps that are suggested on the Ubuntu webpage but that did not work out. I tried to just load the Android package to tablet in some other way but now I have the problem, that UbuntuTouch is still installed but when I try to boot it, it gets stucked in a bootloop.
I already tried to "wipe data/factory reset" in the recovery mode but it isn't working. At least bootloader and recovery mode are working fine.
I hope there is some way you can help me solve my problem, if there is anything unclear feel free to ask.
Daniel
I'd suggest asking in the Nexus 7 forum. They know what to do. We probably don't as it's different for every device and the chance that someone comes around who has a Nexus 7 as well is much higher in the Nexus 7 forum. (You know why. ^^)
Please add whether you own the 2012 or 2013 model. Then report your own post by clicking on the orange triangle on the right side of your post and in the text field describe that you want your thread to be moved (ask politely ). Then it'll be in the N7 forum and the people over there will be able to help you. Good luck.

So I was using a custom rom - SmoothRom (I'm kind of a newbie to this whole thing) and it was getting really unstable. So I wanted to unroot and restore my tablet. So I clicked it all and it and it seemed to work well and now when I power on it says 'bootup failed'. I cant post on the developers page and it directed me to post here. I sincerely hope one of you guys can help me out here. I'll miss my N7 if I cant.
edit: the bootloader wasnt working (whatever that means) so I just had to force flash it and it ended up working. Much more trouble than it was worth...
mod- delete this thread if possible
Hi all, I've messed up with my nexus 7 2013 and i think its soft bricking.
I was using multirom and accidentally installed the wrong kernel. Every time I boot into android (4.4) it loads slow and then instead of displaying the screen it shows two duplicated top left hand corners and remains unresponsive.
Unfortunately i never got the chance to enable usb debugging and my bootloader is locked.
I tried a few things suggested online but they didn't work and multiform appears to have been wiped.
Recovery still works (TWRP) but I'm really in a bind.
Any help on getting back to stock android 4.4 would be amazing, but please bear in mind I'm new to android, so please provide detailed instructions.
Probably your best way would be using fastboot, can't give you details but I have seen it on here. Google fastboot nexus 7.

Wugfresh toolkit should also work, especially if you are not familiar with or interested in learning fastboot & adb.

I used the Wugfresh tookkit and it worked like a charm!
Thank you both for getting back to me and helping me fix this. I really appreciate it!
My Nexus 7 (2012) went into a bootloop late last month.
It would not take a factory reset.
I had to go into fastboot mode to turn it off otherwise it would keep on rebooting.
I tried rooting it with the latest lollipop.
It still bootloops.
(I suspect because USB debugging was not on.)
I even resorted to taking it to a cellphone repair shop.
They think it might be corrupted memory.
Is there some way to verify this?
Is there any way to open it up and replace a physical component?
It has never been dropped or other mishaps.
It's been a very good tablet and I really miss it now.

Hi,
Thanks for using XDA Assist I would recommend not to attempt to repair your device on your own without having any technical knowledge about it

hi! have you tried to flash an AOSP stock image? i was having the same problem earlier, and I solved it by using nexus root toolkit to flash stock + unmount. I hope it helps!
I'm hoping someone can help here.
I was having issues with my nexus 10 for the last decade with the wifi so I decided to try the new android 6 that Google decided not to provide it to nexus 10 users.
While I was doing it somehow I did something wrong even though I tried my best to follow he steps. And now I have the load up sign 'Google' and it won't go passed it no matter how many times I restart it. What makes it worst I deleted the backup I did with the TeamWin recovery app.
Is there a way I can reload the original rom to the nexus 10? If not can I download it online or do anything to fix this issue?
Would really appreciate any help. Thanks.
If i understand it right you´r looking for factory images
or you can use a Toolkit (for example) and use.
flash stock + unroot
softbricke/Bootloop
Both methods should install the official rom for Nexus 10
the secon one is a little easier
I need help reviving a Nexus 7 2013 Flo 32G.
This tablet has sat forgotten and dead for a couple of years. I am trying to bring it back to life. It has been several years since I have done any rooting and flashing on Android, so I am looking for a little guidance. I honestly do not recall what has left the device in its current state. But, basically it has no OS installed. The boot-loader version is FLO-04.04. I can get into recovery. The installed recovery is TWRP v2.8.6.0. I do not possess any Windows machines. I have Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.39 installed on Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS. MTP is enabled.
But that is it. I am not able to locate the device through ADB using ‘adb devices’. As I say it has been several years since I have rooted around Android or used ADB. I did not use Linux the last time I was doing things like this. So, I am stuck as to how to proceed. I was hoping it was going to be a pretty straightforward process of picking a ROM and GAPS and flashing.
Of course not even being able to ABD into the device leads me to believe that, while not in over my head, I made need some help going forward.
Anyone care to volunteer some first steps?
TIA
Wrong forum dude. This forum is for the 2012 Nexus 7, not the 2013 Nexus 7.

It's fine. People make mistakes sometimes.
Also it looks like something majorly screwed up your Nexus 7. Hope you find a solution to fix it up sooner or later.
