Stuck without an OS - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Nexus 7 stuck at Google Screen (Even when Recovery Mode)

Hello,
I recently unlocked, rooted, and CWM (Recovery) my Nexus 7 and everything seemed fine with a custom rom installed aswell.
Just now I edited mymedia_profiles.xml for 720p video mod and rebooted device now stuck at google screen. Even in bootloader when I select recovery it goes strright to google screen and stays stuck.
How do I fix this
If u can't get into recovery u could flash the nexus 7 stock image

when in the boot loader, plug in via USB then press recovery.
if the above does not work try this toolkit. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809195

Thanks all for help sorted it out.
Re flashed the custom recovery using adb fastboot (Google Nexus 7 Toolkit) all fine now but strange that recovery failed.
After editing a xml file
Its a bug with the 7’s bootloader. You can't get into recovery directly from the bootloader without having the USB plugged into a computer or you can just select reboot into recovery from the power menu on PA or any CM based rom. There are a couple of apps that allow you to reboot into recovery as well like rom manager and rom toolbox... The modified XML file had nothing to do with it.
Hello everyone,
I just installed TWRP via goomanager and when i use "reboot recovery" in goo manager menu: TWRP works fine.
But when i use ROM toolbox lite for reboot into bootloader then i chose simply "Start" or "Recovery mode" i'm also stuck at google logo...
I don't understand one thing, we only can enter into bootloader mode with an android app, we can't do that when we power on the tablet for the first time?
Sorry for my approximate english.
Yes that is correct. Its a bug with the boot loader. You can plug the 7 into a computer USB and it will let you into recovery from the boot loader. This WILL NOT work with a charger though... I know it sucks. Hopefully Google will fix it in future updates.

Hard Reset Nexus 7 Working
For all those who have problem getting to recovery mode after connecting the USB cable to computer, follow the "Configure Drives" step from this link.

Its worth reinstalling the drivers if its already installed.

possible dead nexus 7

Long story short. My son went into recovery (TWRP) and wiped my rom. Not im looping at the google screen. I can access twrp and the fastboot screen. I tried to use the nexus 7 toolkit to restore it but it tells me the drivers are not loaded. I have tried everything I know. Every step to loading drivers says to check usb debugging...but I can't even boot a rom because I haven't got one on the tablet. Is there a way I can load a rom even though the tablet won't boot?
Using the NRT, check the box for boot looping/soft bricked, then flash the ROM. Using TWRP, mount USB storage in advanced, transfer the ROM from your PC, then flash.
Mounting USB worked! Thanks!

[Q] Help with softbricked nexus 7.

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.

Nexus 4 stuck on google logo

hard reset my phone via twrp recovery and i accidentally wiped the system too. now when i try to reboot my device, it's just stuck on google logo. bootloader is still unlocked. fastboot and twrp are working perfectly too. i just can't figure out a way to push zip file to my phone. i trie using a couple of toolkits and all of them were stuck on device not found. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Boot into twrp, connect phone to the computer, copy rom to the phone, and flash from twrp.

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
