[Q] stuck on nexus logo after 4.3 update

i have a rooted nexus 7 32gb 3G model running 4.2.2. rooted using nexus 7 toolbox and was running stock rom and kernel with TWRP RECOVERY and unlocked bootloader
last night i got the update for 4.3 and i agreed to reboot n install the update. it booted into twrp recovery and installed the update n after finishing it did not boot rather it came bak to the menu of twrp i manually pressed boot system n it asked to swipe to fix permissions for su binary i swiped the button and it just booted and and came to the nexus logo and was stuck there. i thought first time it might take time left it for half an hour was just stuck there and I switched it off n put it bak on after sometime still doesnt go any further from the logo.
if i had a backup i would hav just restored it but the update started off directly i didnt get an option to backup n i didnt backup before doing it=|
please tell me how to fix it. i dont mind going back to 4.2.2 but i need my data i dont want to factory reset
thanks in advance!

if ur able to boot to recovery u can get it bak dont worry! just hold down power button and volume down till the device comes into fast boot. and if ur stuck at the logo and not able to shut down (by removing the battery on other phones) just hold down power button and volume down button for a while i think its 5 seconds but it could be a little more not sure. hold it down till u boot into fast boot and in fast boot u can shut it down or enter the recovery.
and since u say ur device is new n if u dont hav much data then u will be able to simple flash the stock rom and hav a fresh new device.
use this toolbox it'll help u do everything. but im not very sure u might loose all the data on it

i can not enter fastboot - if i held power button and volume - it only wake up and show Google logo - and after 15 SECOND OF HELDING - GO TO apx MODE
google nexus toolkit cAN NOT help - the device start to logo and ADB or FASTBOOT can not detect device

If you can go into the bootloader, go to recovery and flash CleanROM or CM10.2 or even a 4.2.2 ROM. Seems to be your only option now. Also flash an appropriate kernel for the ROM right after the flash.
Try a dirty flash at first.

i can - it freeze on logo and reboot after pressing on power and volume

yes i can get into bootloader and recovery. and i hav a few questions...
1. if i flash another rom will my files on the virtual sd in the internal memory get wiped?
2. there is option for backup in TWRP recovery i can backup DATA SYSTEM CACHE and usb otg.
after flashing a new rom can i restore the backup for DATA and get bak the apps?
3. is there any way i can copy the files in the internal memory saved in the virtual SD to my comp or anywhere else through recovery or bootloader? 4. there is an option for factory reset in TWRP recovery which says it will clear data and wipe cache and will not clear internal data. i just want to be sure if the files in the virtual sd wont get deleted if i do this? and by using this factory reset option will i be able to fix the problem?

1. If by virtual sd you mean Internal Storage (the place where you copy files to normally via PC), no. It won't wipe anything there.
2. Although this is possible, it is highly discouraged.
3. From bootloader or recovery you can try adb pull to grab a backup of your sdcard's contents. Don't do this unless you are 100% sure you know what you are doing.

ok i shall avoid restoring backup of data. so ill factory rest it from twrp recovery? it should fix the problem right?
and by virtual sd i meant the internal storage where we copy files from the comp sorry i didnt know how to descirbe it...
and no im not so good at adb so ill avoid tht since u told nothing in the internal memory gets wiped

Go to TWRP>Wipe. And then just swipe. Don't try Advanced or Internal Storage or whatever there is. Should do the job.

im so sorry one last question. if i factory reset n restore only data to get bak the apps.. if it works well n good if it doesnt ill factory reset again.. but does restoring data cause damage tht could brick my device?

If you factory reset, only stuff in /data will get wiped (game saves etc.) Not your sdcard stuff though.
And restoring a data backup from a different ROM may lead to bootloops.

factory reset didnt work
i did a factory reset but it still isnt comin on=(still stuck in the logo... anything else i can do? i dont want to flash a custom rom can i flash the stock 4.2.2 rom? n not loose anything from internal storage?
edit: to flash any rom how to copy the zip file into the internal storage?

i checked in the nexus 7 toolbox to flash stock image it tells the internal memory will be erased as well=| any other method to flash stock rom?
i havent tried it but my friend told me tht he can mount his external sd in recovery and hes able to view the files on the comp. is it possible to view files of the internal storage on the comp n copy them onto a comp. ?

how can i add a rom if i cant mount my n7 to my computer, I have twrp and all but i never had a custom rom to begin with and im stuck on the N7 logo screen

Phone stuck in bootloop

Good morning everybody.
I have a rooted Galaxy xcover 2 with link2sd installed in order to solve the classic memory issue problem. The program gave me troubles in moving apps to the sdcard, so i read on the internet that i should format the sdcard properly in order to use it.
Afer followind the procedure of the tool, my phone got stuck in boot.
I can still use download mode and odin works, but
-If i flash the stock rom, i cannot anymore access cwm recovery
-if i flash cwm recovery, the boot sequence let me access ONLY the recovery (like there is no rom inside).
when i try to wipe from cwm, it says it can access to cache and data partitions.
I think that the tool damaged somehow the partitions of my phone. How can i fix that?
I've been oversecure while flashing and i didn't make any nandroid of my phone. Can anyone give me one?
your help is veery appreciated,
Thank you!
PS: if you need to looki inside the tool code, there is a file called "dos.sh", but i didn't find anything particular

I have this problem when flashing to the stock rom. Maybe try this :

For those trying to install this or another rom and having the no signal(no smallband) problem. This worked for me on 2 xcovers.
Install cmw: http://theunlockr.com/2014/02/27/install-clockworkmod-recovery-samsung-galaxy-xcover-2-gt-s7710/
Root it: http://theunlockr.com/2014/02/27/root-samsung-galaxy-xcover-2-gt-s7710/
Now normally you can install the custom rom now(vanir). If you do you probably get no signal.
Start odin and flash this file : S7710XXAMB6_S7710OXEAMB3-20130713.tar.md5
I found it on this site: http://www.ulozto.cz/xHADj5PD/samsung-7z
If its dead you can pm me and I can send it.
After I flashed this the phone would just go in a bootloop.
Don't be afraid this is normal.
Now install the vanir rom in the cmw recover mode.
After this it should work fine.
Add a microsd card with 2 partitions and install mount2sd and you have a fully working phone with(almost) unlimited space.
I'm using if for an year now and it works great.
Better then most €500 phones which break after 1 fall .

Phone soft break after trying to flash Poland MM stock rom

OK, I tried to flash MM Poland stock ROM. I had sixperience ROM and after flashing with Odin, it failed and didn't install. I tried to restore my backup but in TWRP says can't mount /data and my internal storage is 0 MB. I thought CMW might help, so I flashed it but now I can't get into recovery mode anymore. My phone won't boot and I have the problem with Internal Storage not mounting, I also get both kernel and recovery are not seandroid enforcing errors. I can get into download mode but unable to install stock ROM, even 5.1.1 for my own country, which I had installed before. Is it hard bricked? If not, any suggestions would be appreciated. BTW, I still have my backup.

Yes, there are. But unfortunately many of them are filled with useless quotes like yours. I found the problem, it was the USB port, if anyone else happens to have the same problem. BTW, you are "bored", not " boring". Learn some grammar before you post, buddy.

Flash TWRP Recovery and then boot into it. After that, you can WIPE your internal storage to free space. Then you don't have to worry regarding memory.

1- Flash twrp on your phone using adb.
2 -Boot into recovery but don't remove the usb connection.
3 -Clear all data, cache, internal, etc. (Do this only if you have backed up important data.)
4 -Have a stock rom (or the rom you are trying to install) downloaded on the pc.
5 -After you have cleared the data, move the rom from the pc to your phone.
6 -After the rom has been moved, remove the connection and flash it.
7 -Do this after you confirm everything works. (twrp, the rom, etc.)
Also, I urge everyone who wants to flash their phone to have stock android rom backed up on your pc, always.
In case anything goes wrong you can always flash stock rom and start over again.

-1- Download stock ROM on your PC.
-2- Boot into twrp, preferably through adb command. ('adb reboot recovery')
-3- Do not remove the usb cord, and once the device is booted into recovery type 'adb kill-server'. You don't need adb now but don't unplug your device from PC.
-4- Once into recovery, clear everything. (Data, cache, internal, etc.)
Note - This will clear everything, even the OS. If you don't have external sd card wiping external will result in error. Don't worry.
-5- Having your android connected to the phone, copy & paste the stock ROM folder into your internal storage on PC.
-6- After it has been moved, you can unplug your phone and flash the stock ROM via recovery.
You can delete the stock ROM zip file in your phone to free up space using any file manager, if you have said ROM backed up on your PC.
You will lose all your data so have a backup of important data. Also your phone will be made as new, so you will have to flash recovery again, root again, etc.
You can find stock ROM on 'techolite.com'. Just search 'a6000 stock rom updated frequently' and you will find it.
Download the one pertaining to your model.

just wanna start over

please someone help im stuck with xxx no limits and no wifi .internal storage shows 0. but I can see lots of files it on pc . i have twrp but nothing load with it root check says im not rooted any more and can find magisk ...dont care about losing stuff just wanna have phone back

Hi,
You need to:
- Download a ROM. You can find the latest stock ROM here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/oneplus-5-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-t3628190. If you know which ROM you had previously installed, I recommend going with the same one.
- Boot into TWRP (recovery mode)
- Mount storage and transfer the ROM to your phone
- Go to Install and flash the ROM
- Your phone should boot and you may even be able to recover your data
If it doesn't work, try wiping your phone from TWRP before flashing.
Good luck!
