as the tittle says... i am soft-bricked, stuck on google animation.. I did a install of the full android rom 1.4 from zulu99 and everything worked like a champ but i wanted to go back to stock for the kids and now i am stuck
I can access fastboot and recovery on the device and compute recognizes it also..
I downloaded the stock image for marsh 3.2.0 and i flashed all the required files:
fastboot flash staging blob
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot reboot
it reboots and goes to the google animation and it just stays there!!!(left it there for a day!!!) i also tried to flashing fastboot flash tegra210-foster-e-p2530-0930-e02-00.dtb and did not fix it..
also tried to flash 3.1.0 same steps and no go... i know my adb files are up to date... any ideas?
I was able to flash full android 1.4 from zulu again and works like a champ but i need stock for the kiddos.
try flashing twrp recovery from there wipe system and data partition then reboot into fastboot flash 3.2 again
i was stuck at the boot animation about a month ago after the 3.2 update.... see my post in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/shi...ion-screen-t3263143/post67564062#post67564062
please note: i used the 3.1 recovery image because the 3.2 image had not been released yet. have not tried it with the newer 3.2 image
also, if you follow my post and install the 3.1 image....be sure to flash the files in the order posted! some will flash quickly, but one or two took awhile to complete, so be patient and wait for each step to finish before moving on to the next.
yes, i saw ur post and how you solved it and i did try the same thing and it did not fix it.. it just gets me to the animation screen... i am gonna try to load twrp from fastboot, wipe.. then re install everything and once done, i will try to fastboot -w and see if that helps me...

if you un pack the nvidia recovery image there is a scipt inside caled flashall.bat one of the steps run in there is a reboot to fastboot after you flash the boot.image
flash staging blob
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
adb wait-for-device
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot reboot

I was using 5.0.1, with stock bootloader, stock recovery, actually stock everything except SuperSU added.
I downloaded the 5.1 image from Google, and tried flashing it:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-mako-makoz30f.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1701.06.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot update image-occam-lmy47o.zip
Got some missing sig errors, and "failed to allocate xxxxxxxxx bytes" error. Thus after searching for more information I ended up unpacking image-occam-lmy47o.zip and running:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
Then rebooted. The result is an endless boot animation, regardless of anything I try. Tried restoring my TWRP backup, reflashing 5.1, reflashing 5.0.1, always the same. Last logcat line at boot:
E/kickstart( 233): Sahara protocol completed
Then it's just stuck there. For minutes. For tens of minutes. Looks like forever. Anyone else ever seen this problem, and happens to have a solution? (Preferably without losing my data)
Edit: After a few hours I restored the original (or so I hope) state, by wiping, then flashing 5.0.1, then restoring my backup. But now I don't dare to try flashing 5.1 again. Still would love to hear ideas from who might have seen this problem and knows a solution.
After you've flashed the factory image boot into the stock recovery and do a factory reset.

You only really need to flash the following (unless there is a new bootloader and radio):
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (if you are running custom recovery you can skip flashing this)
fastboot flash system system.img

There was a new radio, but that worked (I accidentally booted normally after flashing it). The rest is the same that I did, except the cache, guess next time I'll try doing it without flashing that one. Do I not have to wipe the cache partition either? (And no custom recovery here, I boot TWRP from my PC via fastboot.)
Edit: Who understands this.... I tried it again tonight, flashed radio, then fastboot update image-occam-lmy47o.zip worked, no error this time, no unpacking, nothing. Just a successful update this time.
Guess that wipe was needed, maybe something was already corrupted before I tried flashing the first time.
Case closed.
I just try to root my new nexus player and I don't know what happened there.
After success installation tried to install SuperSu and rebooted it. And device still loading I don't know why?
I did it in MAC OSX Yosemite
I have this screen already 4 hours
What should I do here
Not dead, it just bootloops (softbrick)
Get familiar with fastboot and bootloader mode
google or youtube on how to start the nex player in bootloader mode.
Download the latest image from Google here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#fugu
Untar and unzip the .img files. You should be able to flash the system via fastboot
Command is:
fastboot flash system "path/to/system.img"
I tried Chainfires root method and the same thing happened to me, I don't think he's updated root for 5.1.1 yet. Using ADB
Download the image from above and follow the commands in terminal. They all start with ./
fastboot flash bootloader <drag bootloader image from finder to here>
fastboot reboot-bootloader
sleep 5
fastboot -w update <drag image zip from finder here>

You can do this command without the -w flag and it'll leave your /data/ partition intact. That usually fixes things. Then you can boot chainfire's root image to get root back. But updating the binaries will get you stuck at the boot screen. I actually had to go through this myself when I flashed the 5.1.1 factory image.
Right after booting from the root image, i had a similar problem. I turned it off and turned it back on and it worked. Chances are you either flashed boot.img or system.img so i don't think you should have a problem reflashing if you still can't boot after restarting. Also you may need to wipe in recovery.
i am having same problem also please tell us how to fix this .
Not dead. Which guide did you follow?
so i had pac rom on my player but after awhile i got tired of the glitches and i just wanted to go back to stock and then root it. i tried using NRT to flash back to stock but its stuck at the boot screen. been on it for the past 30mins
can someone please help me flash this thing back to stock. ill re root it from there, but as of now its not turning on
anyone?
maybe a link to a youtube video?
ive tried googleing and following what i found on here but so far im not getting anywhere.
What about this post? http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-player/help/nexus-player-bricked-t3160061
That is assuming you know how to use Fastboot. I would completely unplug the NP, hold the bottom button in while plugging in the power cord and see if it gets you to the bootloader?
Yes. I have tried doing some fastboot things. I downloaded the stock files from Google and doing the flash all bat file but it keeps erroring out saying it can't allocate space for system or something. Sorry, I'd try again but I gave up for today. I'll try again tomorrow.
May have to do it all manually: (Taken from http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-9/help/factory-image-flash-t2929019/post56529332#post56529332)
run the flash-all.bat up until the point where it fails
unzip image-fugu-LMY48J.zip
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash userdata.img
fastboot reboot

thank you. ill try this now
i may have bricked it. its now saying errors for anything i do. i type in fastboot devices and it just gives me a bunch of question marks. gonna try calling google i guess
Called Google and they couldn't fix it so they sent me to Asus and that was a joke.
Asus tried doing a hard reset but that didn't work. They want me to send it in
Have you sent it back yet? Maybe try this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/development/toolkit-wugs-nexus-root-toolkit-v1-9-8-t2947452

yes, ive tried that. my pc no longer sees the np.
I recently updated to 5.2 and everything seemed to be fine andworked. A few days later, the device was in a boot loop. I downloaded the Stock Rom from nVidia site (NVIDIA SHIELD ANDROID TV Recovery OS Image 5.2.0 2017/06/15) and flash it using the following commands:
fastboot flash staging blob
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot reboot
Everything flashed fine, but the device is still in a boot loop. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Flash TWRP, make a Full Wipe, Restart to the bootloader and flash the Stock Rom again.

Thanks for the great suggestion. I'll remember this for next time. I ended up RMA the device.
I flashed 3.3.1-2 twrp and then installed a couple different roms to compare. Then I'm not quite sure what happened, I know I formatted and tried to install another, then I lost access to twrp. Even though it says I'm successful at flashing it, it won't boot into twrp or any recovery for that matter. What should I do? I've tried two different twrp's and neither will boot up. I've tried the .bat and volume+ and power, and I even tried with the fastboot boot twrp.img command.

What do you see exactly when you try to enter recovery mode? Stock recovery? Or fastboot? Which recovery have you tried? (provide links)

Hello! Had the same problem and the procedure let me access recovery, yet everytime I reboot to system, the phone opens recovery instead.
I tried restoring a backup but rom is unstable and stuff keeps crashing. Any ideas?
EDIT: did a fastboot flash of .9 ROM and at got it back to work.

So I tried to go back to MIUI and it did it again, I did the default wipe and tried to install it. It got stuck in a bootloop and wouldn't go into TWRP again. Tried what you prescribed again, but that didn't work. I tried using the command (fastboot boot recovery.img) and it just shut off. It's clearly not flashing TWRP, but I have no idea why. I tried both 3.3.1-2 and 3.3.1-3, neither worked. I tried flashing more of the fastboot ROM images, but that did nothing either. Any suggestions? I'm having to use my old moto g5 until I get this fixed, so help ASAP would be amazing. Thanks in advance!
