Hello
My Nexus 10 stopped booting up and I'm attempting to flash a custom recovery and ROM to see if I can fix it. Since I can't get into Android, I can't enable USB Debugging (which appears to be off since I can access ADB). I tried using the Nexus toolkit but without ADB it doesn't seem to be able to flash a recovery or stock image. I am able to get into fastboot, but not seeing anything there to help me out.
It might just be totally done for as well. The only way I can get it to attempt to boot into the recovery screen is to hold the power, volume up and down and then plug in the pogo charger. USB won't do it, and it won't boot up with nothing plugged in. It might just be a weak battery, but if I unplug it the screen flickers and slowly fades out over 5-10 seconds. It's going to charge overnight to see if that part gets resolved.
Anyone have anything similar and find a fix? It would be much appreciated. I love this tablet and don't really want to get a new one.
Thanks in advance

Ok so I just got my Nexus 7 unlocked and rooted no problem, I have done this on a few Galaxy Nexus phone without issue.
Now here is the strange part, if I adb into bootloader then select boot into recovery it works (CWM Touch) however if I manually go into the bootloader, hold volume keys and select reboot into recover it will just hang at the google screen.
I can get out of that bu holding power until the deivce reboots back to the OS.
I can do this as much as I want, from using adb into bootloader and get into recovery, but not manually. What can i try?
I have already tried flashing stock recovery, and other CWM non touch and all act the same way, what am I missing?
I had the same issue completely stock. No idea what causes it, and I've still not fixed it either.
Good to know I am not alone.
same here! even with 6.0.1.0

I rooted a week ago and this problem drove me nuts. I was paranoid enuff not to wanna flash anything. Within the last few days it was found that you can do the 3 button thing, get into the bootloader and select recovery ONLY if the N7 is plugged into something with a powered usb port. It seems any computer will work, and I read where one guy tried assorted ports like tvs, direct tv box, xbox, etc. These also allowed the buttons to activate bootloader & select recovery. There must be something within the port which requires power in order to get past that Google screen? It doesn't matter whether your on cwm 6.0+ or TWRP. It seems to be a hardware issue as far as I know at this point.
I read where a guy said that during a bootloop, hold power + volume down and wait, sometimes as long as 50 seconds. Eventually it has always worked for him. I've had one bootloop and didn't try that method. I just connected usb cable to the laptop, held the buttons and was in. That is a summary of what I know as of now.

I can confirm that it only works if you have USB plugged in.
Anyone able to get past the red triangle? It seems to just hang there for me
Its a bug with the early CWM Official Port i think, try TWRP Recovery
The only way I was able to get into CWM was to use ROM Toolbox or ROM Manager to boot into recovery. :\ Hangs for me while holding down volume and power.
My Nexus 7 isn't restarting, or booting, or responding at all. Dead. Screen won't even turn on. Blank.
It was my first time trying to root it. Should be simple with Toolkit 2.0, right? No. After successfully unlocking it, I proceeded to Root it. The Toolkit told me to wait till it restarts in Fastboot Mode. So the tablet automatically reboots, but to normal Android. Nothing's happening. So I decide to power it off and on maybe it'll boot in Fastboot mode when that happens. Aaand it's gone now. Windows cannot recognize it when I plug it in, but there's a response (as if it know 'something' was connected to it).
Please help. It's my first time doing that, and I haven't had the Nexus 7 for more than a few hours. I only did that so I can use my USB OTG.... Thanks.
UPDATE: Scratch that. Everything works now. I plugged it in the charger for a while (even though it was 49% to begin with) and then tried powering it up and it worked. I got it rooted too. Delete this thread if you want!
great to see you got it working!
hi all,
i had the nexus player with me and installed cm12.1, everything was working fine, i had it at the hotel i was staying at. no issues whatsoever. but after i unplugged it and brought it back home, i plugged it back in and it just bootloops on the google logo. the bootloader is unlocked.
i tried pressing the reset button while powering it on, but no luck, the leds dont flash quickly to enter fastboot.
ive tried also keeping the reset button pressed again while powering it on, and eventually the led will blink slowly. i then let go, but then it just brings up the google logo again and will bootloop. tried plugging it into the pc while doing this as well, but adb doesnt detect it either.
pretty cant get into fastboot mode or even the recovery mode. any hints or tips i should try? i dont want it to be dead after just 4 months of usage.
Lol I did the exact same thing in pretty good at getting out of a brick but the nexus player is pretty low on my list its actually been like this for about two months now and I haven't touched it
While the LED is blinking slowly have you checked to see if the device is enumerating over USB at all. I believe slow flash indicates recovery mode. Do you ever see Andy with an exclamation mark?

well I was able to get it back up and running by plugging it into my pc and messing with the drivers a little bit, then I used fastboot to flash the stock firmware again and now im putting a custom recovery back on it, all in all its pretty easy to fix so its definitely not dead for good. Sorry im not great with tutorials
howd you end up recovering. i want to get it back up and running. perhaps i can try another pc.
when the led flashes slowly, i have the hdmi cable plugged in, but it just bootloops, never gets to to the android recovery mode. first time ive had a bricked android device.

Boot into the bootloader by unplugging the nexus player and then hold the button on the bottom and plug it in. Let the button go when you see the google logo. Then just use fastboot to flash the stock firmware.
While returning my phone to stock for an RMA (bad microphone), I have encountered a hard brick.
I was using Wugfresh's tool to return stock. The device rebooted to recovery, and when the "flashstock.bat" file took over it hung on "waiting on device".
I left it sit overnight, but now I am left with a phone that just has a black screen, and a red blinking led.
Cannot boot to recover, or get anything to happen other than the blinking red led.
Do I have any options?
try plugging it into the wall to power up, maybe the battery died flat out... then try booting into recovery
second, learn to use fastboot... this is the no1 reason not to ever use these toolkits... not that you cant hardbrick using fastboot, but at least YOU are in control, and can get out of jams much easier.
good luck
yeah, do you have ADB setup? If not, now would be a good time look into it :cyclops:
You might have discharged the battery and need to wait for several hours until it´s charged again. I had something similar with my old Nexus 7 ( 2013 ) Never use any toolkits, learn to use ADB and FASTBOOT instead
Hi guys,
I had Pure nexus rom installed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/rom-pure-nexus-project-layers-t3237366
and everything worked fine for weeks. Yesterday I noticed that my nexus 4 is using battery too much, without any reason.. Then my phone turned off, try to restart but it was stuck on google logo. At that point there was 20 or 30% battery left. I boot it to recovery, wipe everything and tried to restore factory settings, cos I didnt have any backup on phone. But again it was stuck on google logo.
So now I cant boot it cos there's no system installed on it, basicaly there is nothing on my phone. I tried Nexus Root Toolkit, but my pc dont recognize my phone, when I boot to recovery it's still the same, so I cant install drivers..
At this point, I have no idea what to do.. Can anyone help pls?
Thx
Can you get into fastboot? Are you using Win7? Tried different USB ports and cables?

Thx for quick reply !
Yes, I'm using win7 64x, I tried all usb ports and 3 different cables and nothing. I can get into fastboot and recovery, but pc still don't recognize anything..
i am currently under the same situation
only difference is i can still fastboot and flash a recovery (twrp for that matter)
afterwards, when booting to recovery - i can install a rom
once the rom is installed, reboot does not boot into the ROM and instead just displays the google logo - then vibrates a little - then the screen turns off
I just tried on 2 other win7 pc's, still nothing.. Nexus root toolkit just can't establish adb/fastboot connection..
edit: other thing I tried is to copy ROM file on usb stick, and then connect usb stick with micro usb cable to phone, and when I'm in recovery (twrp 3.0.2-0) there is just ''internal storage'' option.. Is that normal, should twrp see external USB drive? Cos I'm thinking that maybe something is wrong with usb charging port (I replaced that board month ago).
Hi,
I have a similar problem:
I had my mobile in working condition and once when upgrading the OS to 5.0.1, it downloaded the OS and was upgrading. During that process, the charge got over and hence the phone was shutdown. There after, it was not proceeding further from Google screen when trying to reboot. So, i thought battery is dead and replaced the battery with a new one. Now, i am getting the following problem:
The phone doesn't turn on(not even getting GOOGLE screen now). But, If I keep holding power button and Volume down button and try to insert the charging cable immediately then i get the boot menu but it wont stay there for even a second and goes to GOOGLE logo screen and gets shut down. Please help me with this.
Hi guys,
I menaged to fix the problem, my problem was charging port (smal L shaped board) that I replaced month ago. That's why there was no connection.
I got another one this morning from ebay, and Nexus Root Toolkit established connection immediately.

That looks like a stuck power button.
Try just holding the volume down button and plugging the charger.
If you see the fastboot screen, you have a stuck power button.
Just experienced this issue on a Nexus 5 and I was able to recover from it by "massaging" the power button for a while.
