MY Nexus 7 does not start nor charge - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there
Apologies in advance if someone already posted this, but Im too tired of searching more!
Well, long story short.
My brother got me to root a nexus 7 2012 model.
As I tried, I found out it was already rooted. So started to Unroot+Stock it using WugFresh Nexus toolkit.
During the process, it stopped giving updates and the N7 was in Bootloader.
I tried booting it up but it would say 'Boot failed' and bring me back to to bootlader. I tried several times before powering it off.
Now the N7 does not turn on.
I have tried all the button combinations and timings up to 1 minute.
Even leaving it on charge.
HALEP BOLEEZE! (Help please!)

Just switched the batteries with my fully working Nexus 7, results:
My N7 turns on perfectly fine and charges with own battery.
My N7 with her battery did not turn on or charge
Her N7 with my battery did not turn on or charges.
When I put my battery back into mine, it turns on right away - no problems.
I guess her tablet is as good as dead?

If the tablet won't fire up with a known good battery, it's likely toast. You could try swapping the motherboard as well, in case the display is dead. If the motherboard from the dead tablet works in yours then you know where the second problem is.
I have had to reseat my USB daughterboard a few times when dealing with charging issues, but that wouldn't explain the refusal to start when supplied with a fully charged battery.

Dead nexus 4, is there anything I can do?

So I woke up this morning and went to charge my nexus 4, which had around a week of life, only to be greeted with a flashing red light on its LED. It was working perfectly fine up until now, but now it doesn't turn on, it doesn't do anything if I try a hard reset (power + volume down) and charging it with via USB or AC only shows the red flashing LED, with no charging icon at all.
I have absolutely no idea why did it decide to spontaneously die, it didn't even leave the house yet because I was too paranoid I would drop it Is there anything I can do? Any ideas? It looks like getting a replacement is my only option but I wanted to ask you guys if by any chance there's anything else I could try.
have you rooted it or flash anything into it? Overclocking it or something? what have you done to it in the period of a "week"?
Nevermind, I managed to boot into recovery mode after pressing vol.down+power for about 40 secs while plugged to AC. It looks like the battery depleted completely and that was causing the red led — why did the battery go down to 0 while the phone was off is completely beyond me though. (FWIW I did not root the device, didn't flash anything, and didn't overclock it)
I had the same thing happen to be just now. Yesterday my battery died at 2% so I shut it off. I didn't charge it that night. Today I went to plug it in and I got a red flashing led. However after about 3-5 minutes of the charger the regular white charging battery symbol came up on the screen. I think the battery was just really dead.
i got my n4 today, had an gnex before
so i unlocked my phone, rooted and installed cwm
i flashed xylon rom and trinity kernel any 10, and everything was fine, like it was on my gnexus
after a couple of hours i pressed the power button to unlock the screen but nothing happend.
phone seems to be dead, pressing power button for 10 seconds do nothing
when i plug it into charger, the led is blinking red all the time, but phone wont turn on
do you think the device is broken?
i am really ****ed up, now wtf is the quality of that?
used it for 3 hours and its broken?
any idea is welcome..(
Nexus 4 DEAD... possibly not charging.
I have this exact same issue... but trying the volume down+power key or trying the power key by itself does not do a thing. The phone will only turn on for a couple of seconds and then die. I have been trying to charge it for a couple of days now with no luch.
I am overseas and just got my phone, which was thoroughly tested by my brother in the US, but it has been off the charger for a couple of weeks until it got to my hands... Is there any reset button or anything else that I can do if I open it???
Please, sending it back will be a major hassle, thank you.
As long as you are properly charging from a source that can provide at least 1.2A, you should be able to charge the phone back up.
Make sure you're not using an Apple charger, charging from a computer, or charging with a wall adapter that is rated below 1.2A.

Perhaps a kernel related problem? Phone is still very new, devs might have to sort out some shady stuff going on. There will and can always be a certain danger when flashing custom kernels, especially with a device that new.
This just happened to me right when I was demo'ing the 8GB to a buyer since I'm selling it back as I was able to order a 16GB on the last re-offering from Google, (so I don't need two Nexus phones). Hands were sweating when it wouldn't power on, so I grabbed my charger, plugged it in, and then it started flashing a red light. Eventually it turned on after about 5 mins, finally. Battery graph showed 90% charge before it turned off, then 0%, then started back now at 10% charge. This was after powering it off and leaving it in the box since only Tuesday.
Really strange issue... I actually remember something similar happening to my Mom's HP Touchpad a few months back as well. Had to plug it in for about 40 mins after she apparently turned it off and let it sit for a couple weeks during which time it discharged completely. Guess this is the bad part about non-removable batteries lol. Though my iPod touch 2G does sit here with next to no charge and it always powers on without fail.
Happened to me just a few minutes ago, luckily got it turning on again. Weird.
Im using franco kernel and now im scared thanks to this thread...
Which version you have? 8Gb or 16Gb? 14 nov or 14 dec?

That sucks... Several people have reported that their phones started to work again just by doing nothing. I hope you somehow manage to bring it to life.

Same issue here.
I didn't fina a solution. I've kept the phone connected to the charger for a wole night but it's not booting anymore. I'b only able to enter in fastboot mode pressing vol down + power and connecting it to PC.
L.
This happened to me about 3 days ago while running Antutu with franco kernel r19
My phone completely depleted its battery all the way from 98%. I was able to recover it by connecting my charger for 3 mins and powering on the device with the charger connected. I let it charge for about 10 mins(It refused to charge above 3%).
So i disconnected the charger and restarted the phone. Lo and behold, my battery was back to 98%..
I have been reading lots of threads and i don't seem to be the only one that experienced this issue while running Antutu. Although i have run Antutu multiple times after restart and the problem has not replicated itself..
At first i thought Franco kernel was the culprit but this also happened to people who were completely stock..Leads me to believe that this could be a hardware issue...Lg and Google better figure out what is going on because this could lead to bad publicity and furthermore push people who are currently on the fence regarding a purchase of this device further away.
I have the same issue since this Monday. I still cannot power it on or access fastboot mode.
It happened after I updated to Franco R20 from R19. I still run stock and never OC'ed.
How can I unroot and lock the phone without being able to access fastboot or bootloader?

[Q] Help with nexus 7 battery issue!

Hello people!
I've had my Nexus 7 for about 4 months now, and it started having battery problems a couple of weeks ago.
After the battery had drained completely, it wouldn't charge at all. I followed some steps to solve this problem, and managed to get it up again, but after that, charging it has been a nightmare.
To sum up:
When my tablet is on and plugged in, it shows that it's charging, but the battery slowly drains even if I don't use it for hours. If the tablet is off and plugged in it shows that it's charging, but it is not.
After it's completely drained, I have to go through the whole recovery mode, turn off, thirty second button push process to revive the tablet (which otherwise does not work at all) and let it charge while off. After that the tablet works fine, but does not charge.
I even did a factory reset, but nothing happened. Also I'm using the charger that came with the tablet.
Should I ask for a new one with my Guarantee or is there a fix for my problem?
maybe its some internal issue, if it came with a warranty. maybe go to the place where you bought it and see if they will replace it with a working N 7.

[Q] Nexus 7 (2012) dead. Just flickers

My Nexus 7(2012) 16 gb appears dead. Was on CM11 with TWRP recovery.
Here's what happened :
I was using my N7, the screen froze for a second while scrolling on the browser.
After that a dead black line appeared permanently in the middle of the screen(horizontal).
I figured it might just be the case of dead pixels.
I continued using it like that only.
After a few weeks of usage, now the device won't power up at all.
When i connect to the wall charger, i just get a back light. No display. Nothing.
I tried booting into recovery, but nothing appears on the screen.
I kept it charging for few hours, but no luck.
It only flickers when connected to charger. Disconnecting the charger causes no activity what so ever on the device.
Nothing happens if i connect it to computer via usb.
Any solutions i can try?
Press & Hold the power button for at least 10 seconds while plugged into a power source. If no signs of life after completing the above step my first thought would be a faulty board..
Its just a black blank screen.

Well, I would hate to be the bearer of bad news but it appears your device had a critical failure and is now dead... Obvious answer right? HaHa
RIP Nexus :crying:
You can always try and leave it to charger for a day and see if you get some life to your nexus. I had similiar thing with my nexus, I was actually booting new ROM and then it did some flickering and got blacked out. After connecting to charger nothing happened, just random flickering. I was able to recover and get it back in bussiness when I woke up next morning (it had been charging over night). This was almost a year ago and atm I'm writing this with the same particular device. So give it a shot again, you might still get it back to work. Also you could try to boot the device to fastboot mode by pressing power+volume buttons at the same time for a while. Good luck, let me know if you were able to get it boot&work again!
You could also try popping the back off and make sure the ribbon cables for the display are seated properly. While your there check the battery cable.

Nexus 7 won't charge/power on/can't access fastboot or bootloader

Hi guys,
My Nexus 7 (2012) turned off(not properly) when the battery level was low and won't power on. I tried a battery from a working tablet and tested my battery in another tablet. It seems like the issue is somewhere else.
These are the things I tried:
- leave it for a couple of hours charging (no battery sign at all)
- hold the power button with/without the volume levels while it being both connected and disconnected.
- tested my battery in another tabled and put a fully charged battery from another tablet
- made sure that the battery is connected
There was one more thing I tried - to press the Power button with no battery inside but the tablet being connected to a laptop via the USB cable. One could hear something like a boot noise coming from the tablet (doesn't happen when the battery is inside)
In December, 2015 I installed a Custom ROM with android 5.1.1 which I found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7/development/android-6-aosp-grouper-t3268172/ (the thread was renamed and is now about the Android 6 update) The tablet worked fine for these 3 months but one day when I was checking my email it went off and won't respond to any actions.
Could you please help me to fix it? I'm just not ready to give up on this tablet. Thanks!
Both you and i, same model, essentially, the same circumstances. I also tried every method you mentioned as well. Even down to the flashing of a rom. Same results. I even tried "jump starting" the battery. Not wanting to give up on it. It sits in my closet like that boy in A.I at the bottom of the ocean, waiting... I know that is not the reply or help you were looking for. Just so you know, you are not alone..

Well, that's a good start, at least I am not the only one!
Have you tried to connect your device via USB? My laptop can see a connected device but it can't recognize it and I hear some sounds coming from the tablet when I try to hold the `power` button. This made me think that it can be a display/screen related, so the device works but we can't see it due to the broken screen/display. Don't know how to check that though.
Same here, stock Nexus 7, won't turn on, just switched off one day and won't come back on, have tried everything as suggested above, can't get it to flicker, doesn't even register the power connection with a green light or anything

Try replacing the screen, just to check. If that doesn't fix it, at least you have a brand new screen!

I fix mine,
let it sit on the charger for a hour, then hold down the button for 20 sec
same issue here as well ive had it for about a year and im not able to access anything via my pc google help forums had no answer either, looks like we may be screwed..........
Hi, I just had same issue with my tablet only thing is that I was using it with ~20% of battery, nothing special - browsing the web using chrome, then the screen lit gray and shut off. After that no response either from charger, holding power button for 60+ seconds didn't work either, tried re-connecting the battery, still with no signs.
And then, I tried to plug in the charger and then pressing VolumeDown+Power immediately after connecting the charger. Suddenly got some response, that battery charging icon appeared, and it shows my battery charging, but from 0%. Still waiting to charge a bit until I can try to boot it.
I'll update this post with any news.
EDIT: When I connected my tablet to the charger it had that hissing sound, but after few minutes it stopped.
After 15 minutes of charging I managed to boot my Nexus7 with 7% of charge in it a that moment, It seems to work for now.
Summarry of what I did to solve my problem:
1. Opened the back of the N7 (I used a guitar pick for this) and re-connect the battery.
2. Then plugged in the charger and at the same time pressed VolumeDown+Power, battery icon lit up but went out, repeated step 1, and then step 2 again gave me animated battery charging animation which showed up for like 10 seconds
3. Waited for 10-15 minutes and tried to boot normally. And it works now

Honestly, I do not think it is the battery, I can see the Charge signal, and the Battery is showing 1,784 VDC tested unplugged and disconnected, my smart young co-worker seems to think POST is failing, I still never see a "Charging" indication.
Does anyone know , Is there a fail safe, say the battery is disconnected, and usb charger is plugged in, will i just see all 5VDC at the sub port, ?
I never see a screen flicker, DEAD battery sign, nothing.
co-worker, tried some things that made sense when he explained what he did, I would have to agree with him.
Now it is rooted, 4.x something I forget, Never went to 5.x did once early and did not like it, Back stock, ran 2 days no issues, Rooted again, 4.x still do not remember, worked great 3-4 months, Sons ran it to DEaD and that was it, put it up for 90 days or so, wife got new tablet, kids have Fire each, and here i am tabletless, CRAP, did not want to throw to much $$$$ at this thing, nor did I want to buy a new one.
Samsung Tablet here we come.
any body want this Nexus 7, it is a 2012 model.

How To Revive Nexus 7 2012 Tried Everything Nothing Works?

My Nexus 7 2012 suddenly died, trying to use after a long time. It was stuck at loading so I wiped cache and it booted fine was very slow and sort of felt stuck so I rebooted and it never powered on again. It doesnt even show charging battery sign when plugged in. I tried everything nothing worked.
1) Pushed the power button for a minute and combination of other buttons as well
2) Left the battery for charging for hours at least 24 hours
3 Tried charging battery manually by removing it (like mentioned in many youtube videos etc)
I thought battery died but if I connect a small bulb to the battery it works fine, so I do not think battery is dead. What should I do? PC doesnt recognize it but if I plug it in the PC usb port and try to power on the tablet it does make a sound when something is connected to the PC but nothing shows up and it never charges.
What do you think it is? How should I fix this?
anyone?
I think the motherboard has died. The solution is a motherboard replacement.
I was given a Nexus 7 (2012) that had the same problem. The procedure in this video fixed it. Take note that there are two cells in the battery, two red wires and two black wires, you need to charge both cells. I made up a double lead and charged them both at the same time from a Samsung 1.0 amp charger, no problems. The unit now charges to 100% and works fine.
Forum wouldn't let me post a link. Search youtube for "Nexus 7 dead" and check the video by Doug Peng. Worked like a charm for me.

Hi, mannesty...
I've found this link...
...but here, Doug Peng talks about the Nexus 7 2013 model, the successor to the original Nexus 7 2012, so I'm dubious how much of what he says can be applied to the OP's original 1st generation Nexus 7.
----------------------------------
My view, is that I think the OP's device is hardbricked, with a corrupted or erased bootloader.
From his/her more recent post...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7/help/figured-reviving-nexus-7-blob-files-t3983203
This is also highly suggestive of it too...

The charging battery animation, with the device in a powered off state, is part of the bootloader. It's failure to appear strongly suggests the bootloader is corrupted/overwritten/erased and the device thereby hardbricked, and the only tenable solution is a motherboard replacement, as a previous poster here has suggested.
Having said all of that though, it couldn't hurt to have a tinker around with the battery ~ and maybe Doug Peng might have something useful that just might work.
