Data recovery Google Nexus 7

Good day,
I would like and need some help in recovery of data after a wipe from my Google Nexus 7 Mobile 32gb
Android was updated to 5.0 but became laggy and i decided to wipe data/factory reset.
now i realized i didnt saved everything on it. so it would be nice to get my data back if possible.
Then another one is to get my tablet up and running again.
Now when it starts up i get stuck at Checking connection page.
My tablet was never rooted and usb debugging was off i think.
i have no software/ tools etc installed and no skill in installing roms , so a detailed how to do will be really appreciated ( or a link )
Thanks and regards

[q] nexus player boots into recovery

I have weird issue just plugged in new nexus player and was doing update from 5.0 to 5.1.1 then nexus stopped responding.. now I did a factory reset and everytime it boots to recovery mode (did factory reset) twice already.
Not sure what is going on.. ever since I plugged in nexus player it was very buggy.
What is the best solution to fix this?

if it was acting all messed up from the get go and u just got it i would return it and get a new one. you can try to flash the system image first if u want https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images this will tell u how to get into fastboot mode http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-player/general/guide-nexus-player-how-to-unlock-t2961989

Redmi Note 7 with LineageOS bootloop it self out of existence

Hi, first thing I'd like to say is that I used phones with other OS since 2015, first one was Cyanogenmod on HTC ONE (M7), loved the experience so when the time for new phone came I had no doubt that my next phone need to be the one that utilize LineageOS. For the three last years I used Lenovo P2 with LineageOS on it. I'm responsible for OS changes on all my phones and untill recently I had no issues with custom roms.
I am still boggled what happened. I installed LineageOS 17.1 on Redmi Note 7, all according to the LineageOS installation guide, and everything worked just perfectly.
Used redmi for 2 weeks but I had a chance to get on the cheap Asus Zenfone 6, so I grabbed the opportunity and use now Zenfone 6 with LineageOS.
The problem is I left 80% charge on Redmi note 7, shut it down and placed it comfortably back in a box for a week. After 7 days I tryed to boot the phone to reset it and give it as a gift but after redmi logo phone go black.
I could open Lineage recovery so I tryed to recover LineageOS, but result was the same, black screen after redmi logo no matter how long I wait.
So I tryed to reinstall LineageOS according to the guide, same result as above.
I though maybe there is something wrong with LineageRecovery so I changed to TWRP, went trough the installation of fresh batch of LineageOS from site this time using TWRP and had the same result phone dead after redmi logo.
Then I tryed to install MIU from xiaomi, everything went according to the manual but result was the same as mentioned above, well except for the part where I did a blunder and now the phone is locked back again, but still die after redmi logo. Oryginal Xiaomi Recovery don't help either.
Did anyone else expierience something like that?
And please correct me if I'm wrong but I think it must be a hardware issue not the software issue, right?

Did you format (not just wipe) the data partition? Try formatting the data partition (or try flashing a fastboot MIUI 11 Pie ROM with the Mi Flash tool).

I did format data properly, system and cache partition as it is one of the steps in LineageOS official instalation guide, before every system reinstall. I even tryed after moving to TWRP changing partition format from f2fs to ext4 but nothing helped.
Now phone is oemlocked and without opening it I can't do anything, just were wondering if anyone else had LineageOS dying on them out of nothing, even if it worked for week or two perfectly.

Please be aware that Format data is different thing to Wipe data

"Now tap Factory Reset, then Format data / factory reset and continue with the formatting process. This will remove encryption and delete all files stored in the internal storage, as well as format your cache partition (if you have one)."
Factory Reset, then Format data / factory reset are 2 separate steps not one.
Did step by step installation of LineageOS from Official LineageOS instalation guide for Redmi 7 Note.
Later on TWRP I did almost every format or wipe there is including repairing or changing partition format, nothing helped.
Still be nice to know if anyone had the same experiance of working LineageOS dissapearing from device after phone being off for full week?
