[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.

now im factory restting so rom wont change so restoring data i mean the saved games etc itself should work? its just for info im mostly gonna stick with just factory reset for now... doing it now

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. ?

[Q] Galaxy S4 I9500 Root and Recovery

Hi Guys
Hope you are well. Need some help here.
I installed twrp via ODIN, and also rooted my stock i9500. I did not do anything else.
I then booted into recovery wiped etc etc (Forgot to make a backup) and flashed GT-I9500XXUGNJ1_OzcanRom_Aroma_v6.2.zip ROM.
Rebooted, the SAMSUNG logo came up, its animating, and is not booting into the OS? I also wiped again and flashed ROM
Prism-Barebone-V13-NJ1.zip (Also tried another recovery CWM, same thing)
Did i miss anything, or how would i get this device recovered?

Anyone?

Are you sure that you wait long enough?

HI Lenny,
I was waiting about an hr, i know the initial boot usually takes long, but the device is also getting hot?
Not sure if i did anything wrong.... but it just gives me the spinning Samsung logo

Well then either you didn't wipe properly or somehow the .zip file is damaged.

Okay,
I tried 2 different ROMS.
I followed the wipe intructions exactly...
Let me try again.

Did you flash from a external sd? Or did you copy it to your internal storage? Try both methods.

Hi
No go, i cannot load it on internal, as the device does not boot up.
I am currently downloading the stock firmware to load via ODIN. I hope this works
But the custom ROMS just dont want to work...

Sorted
Thanks!
I got it resolved.
I found out, that my Root was not successfull. After ODIN firmware flash, i rerooted, installed customer ROM and it booted up!

Glad you got it working but your explanation is unlikely.
Root has nothing to do with flashing custom roms. You don't need root to flash a custom rom, just a custom recovery. It's probably just the reflashing of the stock rom that fixed it.

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 .

Do you have TWRP? If yes then wipe everything and flash all the images again.
There are two ways to install a custom ROM (via fastboot or custom recovery) can you specify which rom do you want to install?

please bro could u tell me more about this way

First, go to the link provided https://samsungodin.com/ I would download V310.6 personally.. It must be run in a Windows Enviorment IE. Win 7, Win 10 etc. Put you phone into download mode Volume down, home button, the power button all at the same time. Plug your USB cable into a USB port on your computer, and plug in your phone. Unzip Odin, then open and right click Icon, and run as administrator.. Put TWRP. zip in the AP slot. Under options in Odin uncheck reboot and reset, hit the start. When it says pass, unplug your phone, pull battery. But battery back in. Then hold Volume up, home, and the power button, and your phone will start in TWRP recovery.

TWRP is the custom recovery you flash in Odin, to replace stock recovery. You need that to install custom roms and mods.
Go to this link https://dl.twrp.me/klte/ I would download 3.0.2-1-ktle.img.tar. to your desktop. Open up Odin uncheck reset, and reboot. Place phone in download mode Volume down+home+power. Open up Odin choose AP find your file and insert, then hit start. When done pull battery, but battery back in then Volume up+Home+Power and you will boot into recovery.

Flash TWRP first in Odin.. Then what ever Rom you use, will already have root (some dev's might require you to install root as well separate from the ROM you use).. Put the ROM of your choice on your External SD card. Go to recovery wipe cache dalvik/cache, system, data, internal storage. This is why you but the ROM of your choice on a External sd card, because you will wipe the internal storage. Flash ROM and reboot.. Now of course follow the dev's install instructions, as you might have to do something different. But that is usually the normal process to flash a custom ROM.

If you do not use those app, I just uninstall them period, through Titanium Back Up and Root.. Better yet you really should try flashing a custom rom, you won't have all that garbage.. I'm using this one

Put all three files on your external sd card.. Do a full wipe, data, system, cache, delvik/cache
1) Install the rom first (do not reboot yet)
2) Install gapps (do not reboot yet)
3) Then install SuperSu- reboot, and set up normal.
