[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.

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

[NEED HELP!] Unable to mount and deleted everything.

Hello guys, first of all im using a Huawei P8 Lite ALE-21 [EU] , i wanted to hard reset my phone through TWRP and i accidentaly deleted everything!
Also in the log/terminal thing in TWRP i get messages that it can't mounth system, /data and storage.
I Tried to download a rom but it failed, can someone please help me? Im not good at this stuff and i need my phone to be fixed ASAP because i need it!
PS: I Know i shouldn't press buttons i don't know what they do but yeah... Lesson learned.
PS 2 : I Can get into recovery mode and use ADB.
EDIT: I fixed it by pushing the stock rom into my storage and then installed it via TWRP, glad i had twrp and usb debugging enabled.

Your things you've deleted are gone, there is no way to get them back.
In order to get the phone boot up again follow these:
Take a look at THIS page, it will tell you how to extract the UPDATE.APP to individual pieces that can be flashed via fastboot.
Use your original ROM's UPDATE.APP file, to make sure it'll work.
I guess you'll still want to use TWRP, then leave out the RECOVERY.IMG from the extraction, and only flash BOOT, CUST and SYSTEM.
You can learn how to do the flashing properly HERE.
If you have any more question, make sure to ask them

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.

Soft Bricked Oneplus 5 - Virturally Zero storage, accidentally deleted I think.

Guys i got my oneplus 5 in the mail yesterday and I like it, but I think i ****ed up...big time. please somebody help me out.
i was following this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/oneplus-5-unlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-t3624877
to root my oneplus 5 so i can use Adaway. Ive rooted and installed a custom rom many times on my oneplus one before so I didn't really have any issues.
but then when I got to "Gaining root access" part, I was a little confused because I wasn't sure what step to take, so i Just did the stuff from the top. I think somewhere along the way I ****ed up and for some reason all my folders are gone except for android. (ie downloads, notifications, alarms, ringtones, music, pictures, etc folders are gone)
even when i take a picture, it just disappears because it has nowhere to save to... . when I plug it in with file transfer mode, there is literally only 1 folder, look at this picture: http://imgur.com/a/F49v0
is there anything I can do to fix this? or did i just GG no re 540$? I know i'm a ****ing stupid ass ****ing low life piece of **** dumbass **** head.
If worse comes to worse, I still got like 13 days left to return it if possible? Do u think they'll accept a return or replacement from me?
****
when I go to google and try to download an image, it says It can't be downloaded because of missing SD card. wtf is going on?!
EDIT UPDATE: okay now my phone is stuck on boot screen with the 1+ symbol. any1 know how to help me out?

Try to reboot into TWRP and format everything, including internal storage. Then flash any ROM and reboot.
If this doesn't work, you'll have to start all over again. Do a complete revert to stock.
Download the stock OP5 OOS 4.5.4 zip.
Download OnePlus stock recovery.
Reboot into fastboot/bootloader mode.
Flash stock recovery.
Boot into stock recovery.
Do a full wipe of /system and /data and /data/media (internal storage).
Sideload the full zip you downloaded in step 1 and flash it via stock recovery.
Reboot your phone.

Followed the steps. Everything works fine until sideload. I constantly get error in CMD prompt: cannot read...
I tried removing the zip file extension, dragging the file into command prompt. What am I doing wrong?
I have the same problem as OP where I foolishly deleted storage and now all I have is the android folder on the phone and cannot save files, nor download certain apps from the play store.
Thank you in advance...

Can you try formating first using the flash tool? If you accedentally deleted all folders even those in the root branch of the phone, It will generate the necessary files on your phone i think. Then you can simply flash twrp using the tool and should see the folders in twrp. Otherwise you can flash the full ota to generate them

Theoretically you should also be able to issue the following command in Recovery:
Code:
adb push -p [COLOR="Red"]<full zip path>[/COLOR] /sdcard/
Then select the zip from there. If you still get the read error, can you try rebooting into normal mode and issuing the same command?

Thank you for your help. huaiyue's storage fix zip file actually did the trick. I was able to restore everything back to normal. So thank you and thanks to huaiyue.

If anyone ever faces this again, Just follow below mentioned steps..
1: Flash TWRP
2: Got to Wipe and FORMAT data this will Decrypt you... AND let's you access your internal storage again..!
3: Now copy stock rom and FLASH.. This makes you ENCRYPTED again.
4: Now everything should be back to normal, just flash twrp again and enjoy..

Go to TWRP ----> select DATA (check it) ---> DONT swipe to wipe but click on REPAIR OR CHANGE FILE SYSTEM and select EXT 4. After that, reboot to twrp and data is recognized as normal sdcard..

That SD card fix helped but I want to know, what caused this?

In that case the plan would be to simply download the B895 or B896 update. If your device is single SIM, something I think it is, download B895, if not, B896. I cant put links because I'm a new user, but you can search for the files in androidfilehost.com
Then, extract the update.zip, and if you have stock recovery, put the extracted UPDATE.APP in a folder called "dload" in your internal memory/SD card, and reboot reboot your phone by pressing the Vol+/- and Power buttons(It should begin the installation). If you have TWRP installed, you can just flash it normally.
I think that is all! I've heard that doing this can encrypt your memory, but that can easily be solved with TWRP by wiping the data partition, next to the Factory Reset button. If you have any questions, fell free to ask.

Yeah it started encrytpting but because I am a epic (not really) I restarted the phone that moment and messed up some things, so it wanned me to do a factory reset from the stock recovery an I accepted, next I booted into the system with all the preinstalled apps in /data missing, so that meant no file manager but I had google play so I installed es file manager, and no systen files were currupted (I forgot to mention upper while flashing the update I got some unknown command error) so after that I needed to flash twrp because its replaced by stock, I did this and what I saw, it cant mount /data, the fix for this is to make the /data partition FAT and after that EX4, and I rebooted but it cannot read it?! So the system did a factory reset and made twrp again cant mount partition, so there was no other way than flashing a custom rom so I did this with /data (make it fat and es4 again) and did a full wipe, after that installed lineageOS 14 for my phone and here ends the story. Thank you for all the help :laugh:
