[Q] Can't do anything with my Nexus 7 (2012). How do I fix it?

Hi,
I may not be looking at the right places here. If so, please provide me a link to a resolution to my query.
At any rate, as indicated on the subject, I can't do anything with my tablet.
It's a Nexus 7 (2012/wifi) / rooted / no custom recovery or anything / bootloader unlocked.
I recently flashed/updated to lollipop but found some battery issues. then I decided to downgrade to kitkat but had freezing issues.
when tried re-installing lollipop, it started boot-looping and then i got the following image:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
it boots up from the Google logo with the unlocked symbol at the bottom and then shows the animated image above and then shuts down.
It does that everytime i turn it on. can't go into bootloader mode or anything (power+volume up/down does not work)
I hope I made myself clear and it's very much appreciated if anyone could help me.
Thanks

Same problem here, only APX mode available If you press power + volume up .

Try nexus root tool kit. Had a friend's nexus 7, that her grandson locked up. Used the toolkit to do a blind "soft unbrick" to get it back to normal and updated

Can't boot VS980 into Download Mode

I'm trying to TOT my VS980 like I have countless times for replacements and for some reason the usual method to get into download mode doesn't want to work. I power the phone off fully, hold the volume up button, then plug in my USB. It says download mode for a moment but then goes to a black screen and my PC opens about 10-15 different windows telling me "I need to format the disk in drive E: before you can use it."

I've tried the usual things, uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and haven't had any luck in case its driver/PC related. The phone is currently running DR87s Euphoria 5.1.1 build and I have no issues with ADB working or getting into the devices file system when its booted.
Any suggestions? I've been looking around for quite some time but can't find much on my specific issue.

Right now you have bricked your phone, however all you have to do is download srk tools and unbrick your phone.

Use Your Old Android As A Secondary Monitor

Use Your Old Android As A Secondary Monitor
You know that old HP touchpad was a great tablet but it's just been sitting around for years now. You can't bring yourself to throw it away but what on Earth could you use it for?
Hi, my name Steve Shockmonster and I'm here to tell you how you can turn any old Android tablet into a secondary screen for your computer. By installing an app on both your pc and Android device, you can activate an extended display setup. This will allow you to move your open windows to your tablet by dragging it off screen.There are many practical uses for this feature and almost anyone would be able to take advantage of this.
So what app do you need to get this working? Well I've put together a list that will get you all setup.

Using HP Touchpad as MAME Arcade

I have a 32GB HP Touchpad that had seen little use for a while, I got an ION iCade cab which connects via Bluetooth to the Touchpad. Although sold as (and originally designed for) iPads they work well with Android .

I flashed the Touchpad with Android 5.1.1 removing the WebOS first. This leaves enough space for the full Mame4droid 0.139 u1 ROMset, the smaller 16GB Touchpad will still host a huge selection of games.
I flashed 5.1.1 because the Bluetooth works well, this is critical for connecting to the iCade, or any Bluetooth controller.
TPToolbox was used to install 5.1.1
Bluez IME was necessary to force the iCade to connect the first time, after that it works every time. This is keeping my 7 year old entertained no end, and was to replace my full sized MAME Cab that had to go as it was (apparently) taking up too much space.
I'm posting this from my phone and will update it from my laptop with more detail.

Help debrik RK3288 tv box,locate serial TTL port

Hi,
Just out of no reason,bricked this Cloudnetgo CR 13 android TV box.
RK3288 2GB/16GB foresee emmc
Normally,when powered on,the power light is red and after pressing power button,it'll be blue and boot Android.
Now the power light is red and after pressing the power button,the light goes off and the TV screen is dark,nothing.
Thought it would be easy to debrick with Android tool,holding reset while power on,Android tool shall find the device like before.
Now this time no luck,nothing.
So open the box,trying short pin the NAND method,this is a 16GB,brand is FORESEE.
Just like the one for this tablet,he did it successfully,short pin 8&9,nothing,also tried 6&7,7&8 and the pins on the right side to no avail.
other pins tried also
I just want to hook up a USB-ttl cable to see the bootlog,but can't seem to find them.Only find the USB GND DM DC 5V.
Maybe hardware error?The PMU is Active 8846qm,it's hot,I heard it's normal to be 65 dedrees celcius?
I got a multimeter,how to check?
Any ideas?
Many thanks.
