Good afternoon
I explain the whole situation. I planned to put an update, from 9 to 10 Android - at that time, it was relevant
During the update, a crash occurred. As a consequence, the phone does not boot into the system (not bootloop)
It hangs on the initial screen saver - I even tried to wait for the download.
He enters fastboot, works with it - but the loader is blocked.
In Recovery, it also comes in, but does not cling to adb sideload, that is, it is seen in fastboot, but not in recovery.
I also tried to flash it in edl mode - later I read that it does not know how to flash like that.
PS. Changing usb ports, nothing has led to anything

So to answer the first question, yes I followed the stickied guide up top, and yes, it successfully flashed the bootloader, wiped all data, and flashed stock ROM all to success. It appears my case is unique. I was told that it could be the battery connection, so I've done no fewer than half a dozen times of taking the back off, resetting the battery connection, and closing back up. It does not appear to be the battery.
I am stuck on the fastboot screen, the one where the android is lying down and blue squares project from an body. It shows me the controls I can make with the volume switches and the selection choice of 'Start'... but I cannot do anything. Before I went to flash I could move through the selection with Vol Up ONLY, but now I cannot even do that. Here's all the mode says:
Code:
FASTBOOT MODE
product name - grouper
variant - grouper
hw version - er3
bootloader version - 4.23
baseband version - n/a
serial number - ###############
signing - not defined yet
LOCK STATE - UNLOCKED
I've pretty spent the past twenty four hours on google searching through all the threads I've seen. They are either all dead, or most of them found the sticky fixed their problem. Has anyone heard of it coming to this?! All I can do is access fastbook VIA a DOS prompt and do fastboot commands, and if I disconnect the tablet from my PC, it'll remain in this mode with the screen on until the battery dies. Charging appears to charge the tablet, but again, no controls work. And yes, the buttons were set properly when I closed my tablet.
Anyone?
1) what is it exactly that your trying to do?
2) can u boot into the OS?
3) your recovery may be corrupt re-flash the recovery via fastboot

I'm just trying to boot up! I don't know what happened, but I haven't been able to use it for school all week!
I cannot boot into the OS. Any time I plug this device in it sends me to the fastboot screen with no controls.
OK I just flashed CWMR 6.0.4.3 and it did not fix the problem.
Any other ideas?
I just repeated all the steps again to see if any of them failed before, they have not worked. So recap:
Stuck in fastboot mode
Android will not boot
Loose battery connection is not the problem
I am able to access fastboot on my computer
I have followed everything from the sticky (wipe everything, flash bootloader, flash image)
I have flashed a new recovery
I am still stuck in fastboot
I cannot control options in fastboot with the volume and power buttons
I can only access fastboot by charging my tablet
The only way the tablet will power down is when it completely depletes it's battery
As far as I can tell, nothing was wrong with the tablet when it was functioning
This happened when I went to charge my tablet, presumably when the battery ran flat running android
If I charge too long the tablet gets fairly hot.
That's about all the information I can provide. Is there anything else I can try? Please, I need a tablet for school and I cannot afford a new one!
Hello all,
Any help with this would be seriously appreciated. I rooted my Nexus 10 a while back, maybe two years ago. I'm not very proficient with this stuff. Anyhow I decided to do the OTA upgrade to 5.0...I was concerned something would go wrong unless I went to stock first, but I read that the only thing that would happen is root would be removed.
Anyhow, the tablet appears stuck while booting. I see the Google screen first with the unlocked indicator on the bottom. A few seconds later is the Android logo on its back, a red triangle over it with an exclamation point and "no command" written below". It stays that way for a minute or so, tries to reboot and goes back to the no command screen. I can't even power off, when I try to do so it just powers back on by itself and ends up at the no command screen again.
I tried booting into recovery (power, volume up, volume down). My options from here are either Start, Restart Bootloader, Recovery Mode or Power Off. Every option I choose leads to the No Command Screen (except power off, which powers off). No idea what to do from here.
Any help at all would be appreciated. As you can probably tell I don't have much experience with this and just wanted to go back to unrooted stock. If you have advice, please be clear. I can follow directions well enough, just don't have much experience here. Thanks in advance.
Same here, bootloop.
Same thing here. A seemingly short download of Lollipop (even though I have 50Mbs internet). Installation, reboot, and now it loops endlessly. I can get to the bootloader or into Download mode, but that's all. Recovery mode just reboots. I was rooted and had TWRP installed. Other than that, I was running stock 4.4.4.
I've rooted all my devices, and installed various ROM's on several devices. I have the full ADB installation. I have the Nexus Root Toolkit installed. The problem is, the device will not show up under "Devices" on the computer itself. I've installed every USB driver there is (and uninstalled each one after it does not work, so no I do not have several USB drivers installed). Of course nothing shows up using "adb devices" either. Nexus Root Toolkit also cannot find any devices. I've read everything on this subject I can find, and there are no answers out there. Anyone have ANY ideas??
Thanks
Guys, if your device is connected in fastboot (try "fastboot devices") then you can flash roms or recovery (and then flash rom) from there. There are multiple threads with the same problems out there which were fixed. E.g: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-10/help/bricked-t2948546
In my example, I flashed TWRP recovery from fastboot, then installed custom ROM from recovery (official ROM failed to install for some reason). Try this, it might help.

Go to Fastboot mode (pwr+both volumes), Than select recovery after a while an android with Exclamation mark appears which is a stock recovery screen. To access the stock recovery menu press and hold power than press one of the volume keys so the menu will appear. Than do a factory reset and clear caches. You can than reboot and wait for boot animation to finish (it wont take long this time) and you will boot.
If this doesnt work you can flash a stock factory image easily from fastboot again.

I also had the same problem... I followed these instructions and now my Nexus 10 can boot normally (it took a long time to boot).
Only problem is all my data was deleted.... stup*d f*cking sh*t!!!!!!!
After many failed attepts to encrypt my phone using VanirAOSP ROM (Android 6.0.1), decided to try again, and phone is useless now. As always, encryption even didn't start after phone rebooted, but this time I can't even start Android or properly boot into fastboot/flashmode.
Put simply, if I boot my phone now, it displays Sony logo and then screen goes blank. If I keep pressing volume up button, Cyanogen Recovery starts. But since it has no option to flash a ROM, it's useless to me (I had TWRP installed as well, but this one is somehow gone now). If I boot phone into ADB mode, I see device number, and "unauthorized" message next to it. If I try to boot into fastboot mode, blue light comes in, but list of fastboot devices is empty.
However, if Flashtool is running, it displays a message "device connected in fastboot" mode the same second I try to boot my phone into fastboot. Unfortunately, that's not much help, because if I try to flash original Sony ROM via flashmode, it doesn't work - it displays a popup window "disconnect device and re-connect in flashmode...." but when I do it, nothing happens (the popup is still here, which means device not found). The same happens if I try to do anything what requires fastboot - even if Flash tool shows "device connected in fastboot" message first, it then asks to re-connect phone in fastboot mode (the same popup), and nothing happens agains.
Any ideas on how get the phone working?
did you try to flash advanced stock kernel with recovery?
Problem fixed with Flashtool by flashing another ROM successfully. Several minutes ago I accidentally connected the phone to another USB port on my PC, and it started working. Not sure why this problem occured at all, because that "non-working" USB port worked fine previously, and it also works now when ROM is properly flashed.
So, about 6mos ago, my Nexus 10 stopped working and I couldn't get it back working...eventually moved onto a new tablet, which now I hate....
Anyway, I figured I'd head back to my N10 because I loved it. However, one of the reasons I left it was because it was stuck in bootloop and I was pretty sure it was bricked.
The bad news, I have followed MANY, if not ALL, of the suggestions on getting it back, I just cannot get it to boot. The good news, fastboot connects with the tablet. So, some specifics:
The tablet WILL boot into fastboot and I can send commands and the tablet is unlocked (also, I believe someone said they had issues because they had an older version of ADB and Fastboot. I'm pretty sure I downloaded the 'most current' version 1.4.3). So, with that, I was able to do the fastboot erase functions, such as cache, userdata, system, etc... and then also load the bootloader (mantafm01) and also send the stock .zip file (image-mantaray-....) and the tablet appears to load everything fine. Thumbs up, right? However, when it reboots it stops at the 'erasing' android bot and will not pass that. I left the tablet in that state for a few minutes all the way up to 3 days...no success.
I also tried the above using Wugfresh only to have the same thing occur. So, basically, I am stuck at 'erasing' and I don't know what to do. I feel confident that the tablet has the ability to be brought back to life, I just cannot figure out how/why all of the attempts lead to the same issue.
What I can also tell you is that while fastboot 'sees' the tablet, the tablet does not appear as a device in "My Computer" like it normally did when connecting via USB. I am using the original USB cable and have tried on multiple computers, all to no avail. I've downloaded/installed the drivers, as instructed on many links. Also, while I can get to the 'Recovery Mode' by pressing Power, Volume Up, Volume Down, if I choose "Recovery Mode" on the tablet, it reboots and goes to the 'erasing' screen. I have tried flashing TWRP on the tablet using fastboot as well. And, sometimes, not all the time, the TWRP blue/black screen appears but it will not progress past that screen (i.e., it doesn't go into recovery).
So, if you can, please help. I believe I have followed all of the instructions, but I have to be missing something or not following something correctly. I'm stoked that it looks like it's only soft-bricked, I just can't get it un-bricked.
Thanks in advance!
Looks like you are trying hard to find a solution. I think it may be helpful if you try to manually install the o/s rather that using Wugfresh and report back any errors. See
https://androidforums.com/threads/guide-how-to-flash-a-nexus-factory-image-manually.706533/ At step 11 I would flash the individual image files and also follow the instructions re erasing and flashing userdata.
AFAIK you will not see an Android device when using Fastboot - Android hasn't loaded at this stage.
Thanks peterk-1. Unfortunately, this does not work. I followed the steps, with the exception of the radio file as my Nexus 10 is wi-fi only. It goes through the stock image update perfectly fine and reboots itself. At that point, it's back to the moving android at the 'erasing' screen.
One thing to note with the link you provided; no where does it indicate flashing a recovery, stock or custom. Now, I've tried flashing stock, TWRP and CWM and none seem to work. TWRP comes closest with the black/blue splash screen, but will not open further.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
You did go to the posted link? I quote:
Step 8: We now want to wipe the device. Use the following commands in order:
........
fastboot erase recovery
............
Step 11: We will now flash the system, boot, and recovery ..........................................
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Unfortunately, same result...
Hi
I know this is an old device but I got it for free and feel it's a good device to experiment on. Looked thru all the posts I could pertaining to this but am not clear what to try next and wish to avoid bricking.
I have tried to flash various versions of TWRP and none will boot. Can still get into fastboot, device is recognized by adb. Says it is loading, but when I try to get to TWRP recovery I only get the exclamation point. I can get to the stock bootloader (is that right?) with Power+Volume up.
On power up it goes thru the Android startup but then I am presented with a screen asking for location, goes to WiFi step and hangs. No problem powering down and getting to fastboot.
What should I do next? My thought is to try and re-install factory image (have it) via directions here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1781250
Any other suggestions?
This is great - I can answer my own post!
Digging around I read post for a Samsung Device having same problem. Solution was that the device would re-write the bootloader on reboot (the solution there was an option to not overwrite bootloader in Odin).
So instead of running 'fastboot reboot' I ran 'flashboot reboot-bootloader' and there was TWRP.
