[Q] Help with softbricked nexus 7. - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My nexus 7 wont boot past the Google logo , i can get in to recovery mode but factory restore does nothing , just says wiping data and stays there.
I tried using nexus toolkit , when i try to unlock bootloader it says unlocking, screen turns off when i turn it back on it still is locked. Is there anything else i can do??

You can try to download a custom rom on your pc and mount your storage through recovery, copy it over, then flash it.
Dont forget gapps.
If mounting doesnt work then sideload it.

Stuck at X logo

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!

[Q] How do I recover data from boot animation looping N7?

Hello, I was given a friend's N7 to repair. He wants data to be saved but the device is stuck in the KitKat boot animation. I can't find any way to get to the user files on the device. If I go into recovery mode, I get the message "no command" so I'm unsure what to do at this point.
If the data is not recoverable, how can I reset it back to factory if I'm getting this "no command" error as well?
Thanks for any help
If the bootloader is unlocked then you could try dirty flashing a stock ROM to try and get it to boot the other thing you could try would be to go into fastboot mode and try fastboot pull *insert file path of data* not sure if that would work though if neither of them works and you just want to wipe and reset then download wugfresh NRT and use the unroot and back to stock option tick soft bricked

Stuck without an OS

Hi there! I have a unlocked Nexus 7 that used to be rooted. I did a wipe on it while it was rooted using TWRP and accidentally deleted the OS. Now when I turn my N7 on it just stays on the Google screen with the unlocked logo. I have tried using the Unroot + Flash Stock on Nexus Root Toolkit but I can't find the right driver as it can't connect to fastboot (And i am using the softbricked option). When I try to normally flash something it just goes to the google screen again and stays stuck. I need help with this!
If you can get into TWRP, you can mount a USB thumb drive which has an op system zip file on it. This way you can install a ROM. This worked for me.

please help ive bricked my phone :(

its only work when open download mode
and from there i can reboot and turn on the device.
i tried to install recovery again but when boot it stuck at black screen
please help :crying:
When I have bricked a device I either use a computer and adb. You could also use a rootkit . Which is just a graphical adb interface. The idea being - return to stock. If you get there with root and custom recovery - back up. You can then start again with what you are trying to do. I know with the Nexus 6p the Nexus root software saved me.

its only work when open download mode
Then flash your stock rom via odin.
If the phone gets stuck again after flashing a stock ROM, boot into stock recovery and perform a factory wipe.
thanks guys it worked after flashing firmware throght odin
