I was thinking of rooting and maybe install Android P preview as I had the preview on my pixel 2 and I liked it. But I have the bootloader unlocked warning which delayed startup, u could present the power button twice but i rather just turn it on and boot up. I'm lazy lol

there is a warning once you unlock your bootloader.. but as long as you DON'T press the power button once it's shows the warning it boots up normally.. If you read the warning message, same as pixel at least on the original pixel I had... it say press power button to PAUSE boot...
so just power on or restart phone..don't touch any buttons and phone will boot normally

I recently got the update for 4.4 notification, clicked it but then the installation froze on a picture of android with an exclamation in his belly.
After that I could no longer boot to bootloader or recovery.
I tried fastboot but I cant not install the drivers as I cant boot to bootloader.
So I tried NRT and managed to get my recovery back (TWRP), but still no bootloader.
I have the option to return to stock on NRT but I am afraid it will fail and brick my N7.
I have SuperSU, flashify and TWRP apps running now with TWRP recovery also bootable.
How can I get my bootloader back?

Hi, Siddy1200...
If you had no bootloader... nothing would work... at all.
The bootloader underpins everything you do with your Nexus 7. Nothing happens without one... in which case , you'd be effectively HARDBRICKED.
The fact that stuff is working indicates that your bootloader is fine.
To access the bootloader manually... shut down the Nexus 7 completely.
Press and hold the VOL DOWN button...
Whilst holding, press the POWER ON button, for around 5-10 seconds...
You should now boot into the bootloader.
This key press sequence should also work if you CAN'T shut down the Nexus 7 normally... for example, if you're bootlooping. I've had a few scary moments myself in the past, and the VOL DOWN+hold, POWER ON sequence has always thrown me back into the bootloader...

Thanks for the reply Greg.
I can't boot to boot loader, that means when I power on with vol- pressed, then select boot loader and press power , it doesn't work. The screen flashes for a second and it is back to the previous screen to where I can choose restart, recovery, boot loader,etc.
This also happened with recovery but I fixed it, now I'm trying to fix the bootloader

Apologies, Siddy1200... but I'm a little confused... based upon my reading of your post... I think you're already in the bootloader!!.
"...it is back to the previous screen to where I can choose restart, recovery, boot loader,etc..."
The bootloader features a green android, lying on its back, with it's belly open - some really tiny text at the lower left hand side of the screen giving details about the current bootloader version and it's lock state. At the upper right hand side of the screen, adjacent to the power button, are selectable options via the POWER BUTTON, which can be cycled through with the VOL BUTTONS... and these options are START, RESTART BOOTLOADER, RECOVERY MODE, POWER OFF... and then START again.
Somewhat similar to your above quoted description.
Selecting RESTART BOOTLOADER will just bring you back to where you already are... ie., the BOOTLOADER.
Also, if you can't access the bootloader, how are you managing to boot into TWRP?... as this is normally done via the bootloader... ie, by selecting the RECOVERY MODE option.

I was flashing the Lineage OS 14.1.2 using the latest TWRP custom recovery. I wiped the necessary partitions excluding the internal storage and i unknowingly hit reboot while the OS was not installed. The phone restarted and got stuck on the "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted." screen. I tried to open the bootloader again by holding power down+volume down and it restarted and again got stuck at "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted." screen, any help?

Hold the power button down until the screen turns off, and at the INSTANT the screen turns off, begin holding the power button. The phone should boot into fastboot mode.
Not working

Good to know that it did work. Yeah, I meant to hold volume down.
Also, for future reference, when you force shut down the Moto G4, the first shutdown starts an autoreboot. So, you don't even need to continue holding the power button- you can release the power button after the screen turns off and just hold down the Volume Down button.
I bricked my XT907 and it won't boot. When I power it on, it goes to the red Motorola logo and after about 10 seconds or so, it disappears like it usually would, but nothing happens. I managed to figure out how to boot into one of the recovery modes...Yes there are two: The alleged universal Droid Master reset and Motorola's...or Verizon's?
Method one: I boot into the recovery screen (NOT the Droid one) by pressing and holdiung FIRST, volume up, then volume down and power. I hold all three for a few seconds and the Motorola logo comes up. I then release the power button and up comes the recovery screen which gives me the options I need to reset. I scroll to reset and press power (enter) and nothing happens. I then press volume up, according to Verizon's site and it just boots back to the red Motorola logo. I try this again and I can't select anything from the menu.
Method two: I do the same above steps until I get to the same recovery screen. I press volume up again and back to Motorola logo. Press and hold volume up and power until it boots to the Droid screen with an '!'. I AM able to select options. So I select factory reset, it goes through the steps and back to the menu. No errors. I select reboot and it does it's thing, the Motorola logo pops up then 10 seconds, disappears and again nothing.
Method three: Volume up and hold power. Screen goes to fastboot mode. I plug it into the PC and enter ADB terminal...
fastboot devices
Device and serial listed
fastboot erase userdata
Bootloader repeats itself 3 or 4 times and tells me the action isn't allowed. Then to test my patience even more, i goes through the steps of erasing the device, and tells me it's completed its task even though it really hasn't.
At this point I am pretty sure there's no recovering from this. Any advice, besides telling me to get a new phone?

From what I understand, the bootloader is locked and cannot be unlocked (So long as Motorola and or Verizon hold the codes and or files hostage). So I can't flash anything unless the files I'm attempting to flash, are officially signed by Motorola.
Nonetheless, I will look at it when I get home from work and give it a shot. About the only thing I've been able to do is wipe the data through the Droid with the '!', allegedly. I'm not even sure that worked. If it did, it's been wiped twice. I guess the positive part if there is one; I have been able to keep it booted and powered on in fastboot, only connected via USB though.

Yes. It does...well did. It took me a few tries to get it into fastboot. Hooked it up to USB as soon as the screen came on. I missed I step or two the first time I tried to flash it. When it got past step 10 during the process, I was excited. Worked perfectly. Thank you so much. As old as this one is, it's been my favorite to tweak and 'hack.' thanks very much for your help :highfive:
Hello guys,

Hey ericv99,
I pressed the volume up and power button to reset the oneplus. then once it was off i press the volume down and power down for a while and it booted into the boot loader screen. then i went on my mac and sent the lineage operating system to my phone via android file transfer. took me a bunch of tries at first since i dont know what im doing but it worked.
i cant boot into any system only boot loop or bootloader

which one is it the one that says "the boot loader is unlocked and software.." or is it the one that lets you see the phones serial code info and you can control the phone with the volume up or volume down and the power button ?
it bootloops in the "bootloader is unloicked and software" but i can get into the bootloader that has the serial info

ok, yea thats the part that took me a while to get past, you have to basically turn off the phone with volume up and power bottom then once its off you press volume down and power bottom for what seems like a long time. to turn it back on and get past this screen.
It might take 3-4 tries to get it right but it should take you past that screen and onto the serial info screen.
i can get into the serial screen. ive flashed twrp. it cant get into that because of that stupid software screen
