Nexus 7 wont start up or go into recovery mode..

Was having issues with my Nexus 7(2013) this morning, rebooted the device and now it gets stuck at the "Google" loading screen.
I can get into the Fastboot loader. I was able to unlock the bootloader.. I have LOCK STATE - unlocked and the unlocked lock showing up on the "Google" boot screen.
I am UNABLE to get into Recovery mode.. either by selecting "Recovery mode" in Fastboot or holding the power and vol up buttons. It just sits on the "Google" boot screen.
I have downloaded and installed the SkipSoft Android Toolkit(mskip).. very nice toolkit BTW. But no matter what I do I'm unable to start the tablet up normally or get into a Recovery mode of any kind.
I have tried to flash TWRP. I have tried to flash the stock ROM. Nothing, still sits at the Google boot screen. Since flashing the stock ROM its been 30 min and still just says "Google".
I'm open to any ideas or anything that you can think of.

Still have TWRP and fastboot access? If so, use the command line fastboot the img using
"fastboot boot <filename>.img"
Reply back; do you get to recovery?

No.. I do not get into recovery of any kind. Stock or TWRP after loading it.. just sits at the Google screen.

Quick question; what were your partition setups like? F2fs? Ext4?

No idea.. it should be whatever it is stock. Before today I never rooted, flashed or did anything to this device.

Answers all of my questions. I know myself I won't be able to help. All I can say is to try relocking and then unlocking again.

What that should do is wipe internal, could have some corruption there. Try doing the command line fastboot of the recovery.img again. Those are the only few things I can think of short from exercising your warranty.

Dont think I can use the warranty.. bought it used(1 hour old) from a friend for $100.. he got it and then decided he didnt like the aspect ratio. His loss, my gain. Until now.. lol
I'll keep hacking at it.. thanks again.

Anytime! You're welcome!

So the original issue I was having was that the screen was not responding to touches. Was unable to slide the unlock button on the screen.
I was able to "Boot to Custom/Stock Recovery without Permanently Flashing it" via SkipSoft Toolkit.. and had TWRP load up. But like before it was not responding to touches.
Starting to think this thing is totally borked.. =/

I'm able to get into TWRP now.. but sits on boot animation screen now. one step forward. Going to try and reload the stock ROM again and see if that helps.

That seemed to work.. at the Welcome screen.
So if anyone else runs into something like this..
Issues:
Flakey touch screen
Stuck on Google bootup screen
Eventually stuck boot loop animation
Get SkipSoft Android Toolkit, donate a couple bucks and keep flashing anything and everything you can. Sorry I can't give you a specific order that works. I would say try the 'ALLINONE'(#8) option first and then download and flash the stock ROM. I did several things in the toolkit a few times over and over. Hopefully I'm good now, if not I will update.

Have you tried reflashing recovery via fastboot?

Exact thing happend to my n4.

Bootloader Screen Everytime

Sorry bad english. I have a Motorola X Style XT1572 Brazil, I rooted it once and now I am back to stock rom and it always go to bootloader screen and I dont know how to get off it.
Plus it had update to software but when it tried to update it goes to 12% and reboot to bootloader, back to 0% again and repeating about 5x and got a error that cannot update. I downloaded here the 6.0 marshmallow Latin America DS stock rom, also have the warning back everytime of unlocked bootloader.
Thx for attention and helping =)

Run "fastboot oem fb_mode_clear" using Command Prompt (Windows) or Terminal (Linux/OS X) then reboot the phone.

I will try that. That will remove the bootloader screen right?
How do I remove the warning of unlocked bootloader too?
Thx for the attention, =)

fastboot oem fb_mode_clear takes the bootloader out of fastboot flashing mode, turning it on is the first step in flashing a stock ROM, but sometimes it seems to just happen... This will cause the bootloader NOT to pop-up on reboot/startup.
The bootloader unlocked screen will ALWAYS be there, forever, including the delay and vibration... You can hide it with a custom logo screen or the stock, patched logo image (look around, it's posted here)
Note you will never be able to hide the fact the bootloader was unlocked, if anyone who knows anything just starts the bootloader it will show a Status of 2, meaning relocked. That is NOT possible to be changed or hidden, and it cannot go back to a 0 (locked). Fastboot getvar all will always show the truth too.

Hi,
-Power off your phone
-plug your usb cable on your phone and pc
Your phone boot on warning screen?
After a charging screen appears?
And after a black screen?
Just after the warning screen, launch this ADB command (many time):
fastboot reboot bootloader
Your phone reboot on bootloader?
If yes, unlock it with "fastboot oem unlock YOUR_CODE"
After that, follow steps HERE
Good luck

Thaaaaannkkxx it worked I got my phone back
Now just another thing, I tried flashing the android 7.2. I installed twrp + unlock bootloader + flash the file vendor.img + flash file pa_venus-7.2.2-DEV-20170807 + gapps. All went OK, but when i boot phone i only get a black screen can yo help me with this please ?

I don't know venus rom.
Actually i have a EliteRom and is very stable and optimized. I recommended it.
But if you need your venus rom, try to make a factory reset or format data partition.
If not boot after that, post your request directly on the Venus rom thread.

Hi Therand,
After installing the eliterom, i cannot find filemanager. Did you have this problem too ?

No filemanager include on this rom.
Try "root explorer" by "speed software" it's the best for me but not free..
Or "es file explorer" by "es global", it's free (with ads) but interface is to dark and little for me.
Or find official file explorer for cyanogen rom but it's possible not detect the root or just not work..
Additionally try "rar" by "rarlab" for unpack a lot of archives format.
Edit: root explorer, es file manager and rar is on play store

What's your rom?
Your bootloader is unlocked?
what did you do to get the bootloop?
Retry this:
-phone off
-plug phone on PC
-launch fastboot command (PC) after the first screen or after 3sec.

Cant leave fastboot after unlocking bootloader....

So just got the axon 7 mini yesterday and was so excited I decided to try to root it with my laptop while my girl was driving us home from Las Vegas..... Ell I got as far as unlocking the boot loader.... now i get this odd screen after i try to exit fastboot. (pic-1) and no matter what option I pick the only thing that will come up is this screen. The only time its different is if I try to chose start from this screen then I get (pic-2) The best thing about this is that I can still go back to fastboot anytime. And it shows up in fastboot devices. Do I need to reflash stock thru fastboot? If so How and Where can i find it. Can I just flash nougat? I'm new to ADB/Fastboot.... Thank you for your time and consideration ahead of time for any help.

Hi, jcole6197, I think you can do as the screen told, there are steps in the screen.

Perhaps you can use tuliptool to relock the boot loader and flash the corresponding no verity boot file found in the development section. It almost seems like the boot binary was corrupted or lost during the process.

so I was stuck all day yesterday trying anything and everything. BY THE WAY...Im very knowledgable but im pretty much a newb in rooting dept. especially fastboot. Well it seems I erased everything including the bootloader then battery died and no I have NOTHING on screen, no vibrations. Pretty much looks bricked. But when I try to put it in my computer to charge it it still shows up in my devices. BUT its not being found in adb/fastboot. I've tried every key combo/and length of holding them which doesnt do nothing

Can you place the device in edl? It will not display any lights or images when it is in edl.

Bricked Essential Phone by Regular Update 20180107

Anyone get bricked from the last update (I assume January/December security updates). I tried to update my phone yesterday 1/7/2018. My phone basically downloaded everything, told me to restart, loaded into the bootloader 3 times - after i selected normal Boot, and then stopped and charging.
Pretty glad that I had 2 phones.. because I have a video of it bricking in front of my eyes. not sure if I can post links yet.
Any help would be reallly appreciated as I haven't modified anything on it...

Can you still boot into recovery?

try to wipe your data fastboot -w or with stock recovery

This video is the last time I could get the phone to turn on. The only signs of life I (saw) on the phone was the LED light when I tried to charge the phone -
after it ran out of battery.
https://photos.app.goo.gl/XaD1W5CUmMpV9U9w2

The screen won't turn on or off. It's like the power button's broken even though it's still pressable. It should have battery though because I've been trying to turn it on with it plugged in.

Unfortunately every menu option from FastBoot Mode proceeds to black screen
-Start
-Recovery Mode
-Restart bootloader
-Power Off

Can you please tell me how exactly you did this? via command line fastboot?
I can't select anything in the boot loader menu, just like you all options show a black screen. Can't do anything.

You will need to side load the OTA.
You cannot unlock the boot loader unless you check OEM unlock in the developer menu.
Or, at least I have not seen it done.

OEM unlocking is ticked off. That's the issue. I've seen in some videos or posts like Chris Paton. Advising to relocate the bootloader after sideloading the beta OTA's... I followed it and now I'm in a soup.

I don't min wiping it off... But I'm unable to access those commands as my Boot loader is locked and OEM Unlocking is not toggled on. Let me know of there is anything I can do in such case.
