No boot after Font Change

Hello
I have a problem with my Nexus 7. I tried changing my font using font changer. It rebooted and now wont boot up. It gets stuck at the X.. left it there several minutes..
I tried to do a factory reset using Stock Recovery but that didnt change things. I was on Stock 4.2.2 unlocked and rooted.
What should I try now? Obviously I can get into fastboot mode.
Thanks in Advance

Hello, I have the same problem, but when I try getting into recovery mode, all I see is a dead android with red x sign and with no other option displayed. Where do I go from here?
Also, how do you flash stock image from fastboot? Thanks in advance!

That's stock recovery. You want to be in fast boot mode for fast boot flashing.

Sorry, but how do you get into fastboot mode? I can't use any toolkit to get into fastboot mode as my pc doesn't
recognize the device because it can't get past booting up.

Stop using toolkits and start reading. There are instructions here that walk you through the entire manual process.

i'm just curious, but how come you guys are unlocked and rooted and not running a twrp or cwm recovery? if you had one of those recoveries instead of stock, a nandroid restore instead of a system image reflash would have put you back to where you were before you did the font change as long as you did a backup right before you tried doing that. highly recommend if you're gonna play around with the system, install some kind of decent recovery, not stock.

I think BRICKED MY PHONE

I was trying to install CM10.1 for the 10th time and again it didn't work- I was stuck at the CM10.1 boot animation (I tried wiping my whole device, the cache everything). Then I decided to wipe the ROM (using TWRP) and my phone will no longer bootup at all- it is stuck at the "Google" logo. Help

All my Nandroid backups are gone... wtf do I do- is my phone broken for good?!?!?!?! :"O

Fastboot. Flash stock images. There are tutorials if you Google.

so, instead of wiping data(factory reset), you actually wiped the whole phone clean. you need to install adb on your computer, boot into your recovery, connect to your computer via usb, use the adb option to move your rom/gapps to your phone, then flash them via your recovery. you lost your data btw, youre gonna start fresh. next time, be careful.

If you can get to the bootloader you can flash factory images. Just out of curiosity, if it wasn't working why did you keep trying 10 times?

you know, ive got a bit of irony for you. a bit back, i had to flash the factory image at like 3am. i was a bit intoxicated and feeling lazy, so i decided to use a toolkit. i spent about an hour on it, kept getting errors and other issues with the toolkit itself. it never flashed anything. before i fell asleep, i took the 10 minutes to flash the factory image via fastboot

Since I was trying to flash CM10.1 can I just flash it with the Gapps from the get-go when my phone has no OS on it? Or does it need to have jelly bean ?

Like others said earlier I would flash the stock images with fastboot.

It's a good thing I made a titaniumbackup and sent it to my drive before all this- at least I won't lose all my apps

[Q] Need some help please

I have a Nexus 7 wifi, It is stuck at the Google screen boot looping. It is unlocked and has TWRP 2.5 which I can access. I have tried every tool kit to no avail. Need some help please!

dont use a toolkit
get to a command line and figure out whats wrong by trying to flash a factory image, or run factory reset in recovery and see if it fixes it.

I tried factory reset but it fails. I tried to flash a factory image through side load but it fails.
If I go to advanced wipe and do them one at a time they all work except data.
It appears to have nothing on intrenal or external storage.
One other thing is when I try to mount the system in twrp it asks for a password?
I have never setup a password so I don't understand this.
Thanks

Did you encrypt your device?

No, not at all that's what's so strange.
I purchased it new and it started locking up and after an attempted factory reset here we are.

Factory reset would wipe data partition leaving nothing in data. Makes sense that it wouldnt let you wipe that when there is nothing there.
Try flashing a factory image from fast boot. Not from recovery.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

Would it not have to be loaded on the device? I tried it with a tool kit and it gets to the end and fails on verification.
I don't remember what version it was so that doesn't help. I think it was 4.1.2
But not positive.

Okay seems to be a problem with twrp 2.5 as far as the password I'm downloading 2.6 now.

Use fastboot to flash new recovery and system partition. You run fastboot commands from your computer not from recovery and your device needs to be in bootloader not recovery. It does not require you to load it onto the device prior

After flashing it, did you go into the stock recovery to factory wipe data before booting it up? You have to do this or else you will get stuck at the Nexus bootup screen. Happened to me once. Apparently you have to do this on the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 because flashing it doesn't properly wipe the partition.

Hloo m.charesa,of course I wipe data,partition after flashing many times(I watched the clip in youtube does that),But unfortunately due to the nexus logo.

It seems that the problem is not to activate the USB debugging , because after opening bootloader or installing stock rom returns the device to its origin and must be activate (usb debugging) again .. Question: Is there a way to activate it without the operation the system (because its not operation originally)??​

USB Debugging is only necessary if you are trying to use ADB when the phone is on and booted into the OS already. It's not necessary when you are in Fastboot mode (at the bootloader). Not sure why it's not working flashing the factory image. This is why I prefer not to use toolkits and do everything manually. That way, you know where things went wrong.

[Q] SGH-I337m soft bricked with faulty usb

A few days ago my USB port on my Telus SGH-I337m gave out, leaving me with no data connectivity and extremely limited charging capabilities.
I rooted the phone using ODIN and TWRP when I originally got it last summer, but i forgot all about that and brought it over to best buy for an exchange. We did a factory reset before the guy noticed it was rooted and told me to un root and come back. However, after the factory reset, I'm now stuck on the samsung galaxy s4 splash logo, but I do still have access to recovery booting. I've tried downloading stock and custom roms and flashing those to no avail. I switched my recovery manager from TWRP 2.5.0.0 to CWM 6.0.4.4, but still nothing. ODIN flashing is impossible because the USB port isn't working. Any suggestions?

Are you using super SU? There's an unroot option in it

You said you flashed cwm over twrp, if you did so you must be able to flash a rom too.
The bright side, if it's not booting you could take it to a best buy and they couldn't tell it's rooted
Edit, when you boot into recovery is it the stock recovery now, or cwm?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app

Any custom roms I've tried to flash have still left me stuck at the splash logo. Any chance you could point me to a stock ROM download? None of the stock roms i've found will install. And since it does still boot into recovery mode the guys at bestbuy will still know i have it rooted though right? worst case i might just drain the battery and bring it in since it takes about 20 mins to charge 1%.
edit: it recovery boots into CWM 6.0.4.4 only, hangs on normal startup with any rom

If it boots into a custom recovery, twrp or cwm, yes they're going to know you modified the device. But you're not going to be able to get rid of that without Odin.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app

If I'm able to fix the boot error, would I be able to use mobile odin or super SU to unroot it?
Either way any other suggestions for getting past the splash screen?
What I've tried exactly is:
-boot into CWM recovery
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache partition
-wipe dalvik cache
-install ROM from zip
-reboot
custom ROMS install ok but give me the boot error
stock roms don't install at all
And thanks for the help i do appreciate it

I'm not sure what to tell you. First, you're flashing the custom roms correctly and I'm not sure why they're not booting. I don't know what stock rom you're trying to flash.
Having the custom recovery is going to kill you at best buy. They'll try to boot into recovery to do a factory reset and they'll see you modified the device.
I don't know if mobile Odin works on the s4, I don't think so, but you'd have to boot into something first. And that's a problem right now.

I managed to get past the splash logo. Turn out i needed to format all the partitions as well as clear them before installing a rom.
The stock roms i was (mistakenly) trying were the odin tar.md5 files. But now I've got mobile odin running and I found a couple videos with mobile odin and the gs4 so im going to give it a shot. The procedure recommends >50% battery though so I'm going to have to let it charge overnight.
We'll see if it works in the morning

Reflash lastest 4.4.2 (Colombia) Firmware from Sammobile, Tick "NAND Erase All", "Re-partition" & "Phone EFS Clear", also put the unziped attached file on the PIT section.
This will completely wipe your NAND, this means a complete Full wipe of the whole phone, I also have a i337M from Telus & deleted all the remains of previus modifications that normal recoveries can't wipe. thus reformatting Boot, Cache, System, EFS & all other partitions to their correct state.
Make sure your Odin window looks as the attached image.
It will stuck at samsung logo after flashing, boot to recovery & perform a factory reset, and you are good to go.
King regards.
