For Those Who Semi-Bricked Their Nexus 7 0MB Interal Storage

Hopefully this helps people in my situation.
So on the first day of having my nexus 7 i found a way to have no OS and 0MB internal storage showing in TWRP. Yah i suck.
I tried tons of things but knew a system image was needed.
HOW: I was about to flash the superuser root for 4.3 newly released and forgot to put it on nexus so i then proceeded to exit TWRP, however upon exiting TWRP the recovery detected i havent installed supersu and asked do i want to install superuser? I though why the hell not!
I confirmed to install superuser and then tried to reboot but for 20 minutes device could not boot. TWRP showed 0MB internal storage and pushing adb files in this state yielded nothing as there was no directory
This is how i managed to have a working tablet again
1. FORMAT DATA in TWRP - after doing this your internal storage should be back and not show 0MB
2. reboot to the bootloader
3. On your computer download this file kindly given to us by phuduong and uploaded by Nburnes

4. Once downloaded move that system.img file to your adb directory
5. With you nexus 7 in the bootloader, adb open, and file downloaded copy and paste this command into adb terminal
fastboot flash system system.img
6. Now you have an OS but it still would loop and wouldnt start
7. Boot into recovery and Format Data again, because for me 0MB interal storage was back again
8. Then Factory Reset
FINALLY YOUR DEVICE SHOULD BE BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL STATE!!!!!

Is that the factory image? Have you tried going from unlocked bootloader & rooted back to factory using that image?

Google has yet to release the official factory image for the new N7. However, a kind user was gracious enough to make their own. It is likely to be almost identical to what Google will eventually release and should work the same way.

Thank you! Thank you!

good stuff OP. glad you got it working again

You all are life savers! 1000X Thanks!

I tried running through this, but it didn't work for me. I think my situation is different though because I tried to install a factory image for the 2012 nexus, and during part of that process I ran the "flash-all" script which starts by deleting boot, cache, recovery, userdata, and system.
I think deleting boot screwed me up, because even though I can go into recovery now after reinstalling twrp and I can restore my system using system.img, I still can't boot (get stuck on the google logo). Any way to fix that?

So you first tried to restore from the OLD Nexus 7 Image?????

Yes, I tried to restore from the old image. Obviously fastboot wont let you install the old image, but I didn't realize that until boot, system, cache, etc. were deleted

THANK YOU!!!
This worked perfectly! I had a wiped system folder (no ROM), and obviously no USB debugging enabled. And with the lack of a factory image, I've been counting seconds to seeing somebody post this!
Just follow the instructions carefully. Thank you guys!

OP and nburnes saved my butt!

I did this and now it seems my device is booting and it shows up as N7 when I attach it to my PC. But the display shows nothing at all. It just goes blank after the Google screen. Any ideas?
After flashing everything I could think of and banging my head and the device against the wall for two hours, I finally got it to work. Not sure how exactly but the last thing I did was reflashing bootloader. So if anyone has the same problem, try that.

Thank you.

[Q] Nexus 4: Can't wipe/Flash factory image. Semi-bricked phone.

Earlier today my phone was working fine running Stock 4.4.1/Kernel. I decided I wanted to get the franco kernel so I got the .img file from the xda thread. I flashed the .img file onto the boot partition using fastboot, and restarted my phone. After a few minutes of sitting at the "Google" screen I rebooted into the bootloader. I tried flashing the 4.4 factory image using the "flash-all.bat" without wiping anything. My phone continued to get stuck at the "Google" screen after multiple reboots. I then tried to wipe my device using fastboot. However, when using the command "fastboot erase system" I got an error that said "Failed: unknown chunk type." I kept on retrying the wipe to no avail. I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2347060 and followed the steps. All the steps seemed to work up until I had to flash the given factory image using fastboot. I got the same "Unknown chunk type" when the cmd was trying to write files to the "system partition." Before you ask, yes my fastboot/adb is updated to the newest version. (I triple checked) And all my drivers work properly. I just flashed the 4.4.1 firmware 3 days ago using fastboot and everything went perfectly, including the wipe. Please offer any solutions you think could get me out of this situation. Thank you.

Never encountered something like this, but maybe from bootloader u can get into ur stock recovery & wipe cahce & wipe data.
once again I never had that issue...so its upto u...but might be worth a try...if u had made a backup or dont care about the data in ur phone then it did be easier for u u to try

Flash the factory images and erase all partitions on the device. If you want to get some data from the internal memory you could pull it through recovery. Next time read more do less. Franko's kernel uses different ram disk than the stock one. You could also try to flash a full stock kernel for your build first. Get it from the factory images and flash it through fastboot.

Can you get into bootloader mode. It's worth a try. Your not bricked if it can turn on. Your emmc may be bad and flashing the factory image won't work. But if that's the case then warranty or replacement are your only options.

Android 5.1 bootloop problem

I'm currently having a boot loop problem on my nexus 10 device, where the boot animation goes on forever.
I was on android 5.01, then downloaded 5.1.
I Followed the instructions to apply the upgrade and everything look like it was fine. Tried to reboot the device and all I get is the spinning balls.
I didn't want to lose my data/wipe the device so I DID NOT use the -w command on the fastboot update command. I've done that before and it worked.
Can you someone give me advice on how to fix the problem.
Also, can it be fixed without doing a factory reset?
Thanks

How long did you let the boot go for? The first boot takes a REALLY LONG time.

over 15 minutes..
Im rebooting it now.. lets see what happens
after more than 30 minutes, still no change in behavior

You wouldn't happen to have an old ROM on your device would you? If so, maybe flash that and see if you can at least boot. If you can't even boot you may have to do a full wipe.

I noticed this has happened to me before when I would flash all the images (except userdata) and elect to only erase cache, and not flash the cache image. It would be stuck in the bootanimation forever. Once I started flashing the cache image when upgrading, I've never had an issue since. So my advice to you is to flash the cache image from the factory image and see if that fixes it. All your data will still be intact.

You may also need to wipe dalvik if you have not tried that already.
The factory cache image is in the same zip file with system.img, boot.img, etc. You need to boot back to fastboot and do
Code:
fastboot flash cache <path_to_cache_image>
I recently upgraded to 5.1 by flashing only system.img and boot.img and wiping only cache and dalvik and I didn't have any issues.

I usually follow Method 2 from this OP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/guide-flash-factory-images-nexus-6shamu-t2954008. Obviously, just make sure you have the correct factory image files for the Nexus 10. MAKE SURE NOT TO FLASH USERDATA. If you do, you will wipe your device and you will lose all your data. So I always just skip that command when I'm flashing the image files. After you're done flashing the cache image, just unplug your device and select "Start" from the bootloader menu. It will boot up normally and then you will see the "Android upgrading app ## of ##" message. That means everything worked.

Same problem happened with me. After applying the ota update for 5.1, I got locked in the boot animation.
Tried to reinstall the 5.1 manually, same thing happened.
I also tried to downgrade to 5.0.2 and 5.0.1 with no lucky. Now the tablet is useless.
Anyone else is experiencing this problem. Any suggestion to solve it?

Ah. That's what I had thought. That could be your problem right there. Unfortunately, the batch process hasn't worked properly since 5.0. Not sure if Google fixed this with 5.1, but I doubt it. Try flashing all of the images manually. DON'T FLASH USERDATA, unless you don't care about losing your data.

I followed the method 2 and flashed everything except userdata and radio (bootloader, system, boot, recovery and cache). Still locked in the boot animation.
I noted that before accepting any flash command I sent, Nexus screen displayed "FASTBOOT STATUS - FAIL Invalid Partition". But at the end of flash it was displayed "FASTBOOT STATUS - OKAY"

Hmm. That invalid partition message is odd. Were you stock before? Did the command window show "OKAY" after each image was flashed? I'm wondering if your userdata partition is messed up as well. Not sure if all your stuff is backed up, but I would probably flash everything again, including userdata to start fresh. Obviously, you would lose all your data.

I never had unlocked the bootloader before in this device.
Yes, I got an OKAY after every flash. But also the invalid partition message at the beginning.
I'll try to flash everything again, including user data and let you know.

That sucks about losing your data... But at least you have a functioning N10 now. :good: I'm thinking the data partition may have somehow got corrupted, which is why it wasn't completing the boot process. Glad it worked out for you in the end though.

Official update via stock recovery

Need help here
So just purchased my nexus 6p and after reading the index by Heisenberg, I came to know that I have four updates to install.So downloaded all serialwise
But the problem is when I boot into stock recovery and select apply update from SD card it says sdcard not mounted. So how to solve this
Second thing after mounting can I apply all updates serialwise one by one and then reboot or do I have to apply an update and then boot then apply the second one and so on
Thanks

It's probably easier just to flash the latest factory images, I have instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928

If you use windows you can download factory image and execute the flash all bat file and it flashes it all for you in about 3 minutes via fastboot. Super easy.
Here's a how to install fastboot and adb. Literally tales a 20-30 seconds and works great. Fastboot and adb are mandatory for Nexus IMO. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

Yes and that's what wipes data. You can easily flash them separately and do not need user data. I wipe my phone often so I don't care.

Boot into bootloader (hold power and system on), flash the though recovery through adb, mount your .zip,, flash your .zip through recovery. Sorry if that doesn't make sense, I've been drinking with the roommates, lol.

The same thing happened to me also! The whole /data (incl. sdcard) partition went corrupt (showed up in TWRP as eemc instead of ext4) & the /vendor failed to mount.
First I had to repair the /data partition (unfortunately the data was lost, as it repaired to a blank partition). I ended up having to go home (was at work at the time) & hook the phone up to the PC & download the ROM & transfer it onto the sdcard. I'm not entirely sure why/how this happened, but I believe it was because a corrupt vendor IMG. Although that theory doesnt include why the /data partition corrupted, it only explains why the /vendor partition failed to mount.

Fastboot flash system system.img
?

I have the same issue. The problem is, that my computer will not recognize the phone in bootloader mode or in recovery mode(MTP enabled). How can install usb drivers without being able to boot into phone OS???? I've tried Nexus Toolkit with no success. Please help?

Have a look here how to load in bootloader, flash, etc.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928

So I did the same thing. I'm sitting in TWRP right now but have nothing on the phone. Will I be able to reboot from TWRP into the bootloader and just use the flash-all command to get my phone to boot back up, then just go through the process of custom recovery again?
Basically I'm worried about leaving twrp without an OS. I didn't wipe bootloader did I? Also, I tried to download a ROM and just drag it to internal memory, but I can't seem to add anything to the internal memory.

Hi... Just boot into recovery and reflash system.img from the factory image of your choice in bootloader with fastboot. Also flash the vendor image from the same factory image. Done...
Or reflash the whole package with flash all (manually is better imho). But you'll waisted time... Let your phone reboot into Android and you'll have your internal storage back.

Yes TWRP has a reboot to bootloader option available. So you can access fastboot via bootloader to flash the necessary images. Just don't forget to re flash TWRP image again in case the stock recovery image was flashed beforehand.

The odd thing was that I did choose that option to boot to bootloader in twrp and it didn't work. I ended up having to reboot to bootloader manually. Not a big deal. All is working now, but thought that was interesting.

I accidentally wiped the OS from advanced wipe option. How do I get my phone to work again. I tried to operate adb sideload from recovery but it failed. I have downloaded the stock rom but I do not know how to install it.

Exactly which partitions did you wipe? system? data? Internal Storage (userdata)? all of the above? Hopefully you did not wipe userdata (all your stuff). Were you on a stock ROM? You should be able to d/l the Google image from the same build you were on, extract system and data and fastboot flash those. Don't flash userdata. All your stuff should be there. Follow the tutorial on how to set up fastboot and selectively flash partitions.
