Help! N7 stucked at loading screen while attempting to root

Hi all,
I tried to root my Nexus 7 according to this youtube link
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1cD-JXRGX8
During the step to install" super SU", i copied the the "unzipped" version of the file into the device, and couldn't install it as per video.
So i tried restating the device to try to copy the right file to the device, but now it just stucked at the loading screen (circle & square alternating, not the X screen) and i couldn't power it off too.
What should i do? Help please! Thanks!

Is it still recognised by the computer?
As in, if you plug it in with USB does it appear on your device manager?
Anyway, I would recommend using Wug's Toolkit (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389107) to sort you out.
It's pretty straight forward so you should be able to fix it easly.

No it's not recognized by my PC too. So the toolkit won't be useful too i presume?
Any other options? Just wait it out till the battery is dead?

Long press the power button and that will make it reboot, as soon as the screen turns OFF, hold down the volume down button and it will boot into the bootloader, use the volume button to select recovery, press the start button to go into recovery. In recovery (TWRP) click on wipe then do a factory reset. If it is off, press and hold volume down and power button together and that will get you to the bootloader screen.

This whole rooting process confuse me. So you're saying after doing this, just start over the rooting process as per youtube link again or continue the step where i did wrong?
P/S is it easier to root using that rootkit as per post above?

You're two thirds of the way there. You supposedly have the bootloader unlocked, you can see that when it boots up at the "Google" screen the lock will be unlocked, It will also say unlocked in the bootloader screen. And you should have TWRP installed if you tried to flash supersu. So.. at this point, you need to flash the supersu "zip" in TWRP. Before you start making any changes I would recommend making a backup in TWRP.

What you are using is part of the android sdk (adb/fastboot), the platform-tools folder with the usb drivers moved into it, not really a toolkit. I've never used a toolkit so I can't say a lot about them, I have the complete sdk installed, you were using part of it. Were you able to boot into recovery and do a factory reset?

You should not have followed that guide.
1st: Go to here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053. Download the zip. DO NOT UNZIP.
2nd: Make sure that ADB is set up on your computer. To download, go to https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html. Follow the instructions to install. Open the SDK (should be in C\development\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\, or whereever you installed, it is an execultable file. It should have a little green android logo next to it, and it is called "SDK Manager". It will take a couple seconds to open. Once it has opened, install "Android SDK Platform-tools".
3rd: Move the Super SU zip into the C\development\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\platform-tools, or wherever you installed the platform-tools. It should be inside the SDK folder. Just paste the zip there.
4th: Boot your Nexus 7 into recovery. Push and hold the power button and volume down button at the same time and boot into the bootloader.
5th: Boot into recovery. Do so by pressing the power button for a while, and eventually it will shut off, as mentioned above.
6th: Press and hold power button and volume down to boot into bootloader. Once in the bootloader, push the volume down button until recovery is selected.
7th: Boot into recovery by pressing the power button.
8th: In recovery, wipe the cache and dalvik under the advanced wipe in the wipe menu. Go back and click install. Click "apply from sideload", or something like that, I forgot the exact wording. Connect your tablet to your computer through a USB cable.
9th: Go back to your computer. Go to C\development\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\ or wherever you installed the sdk. Press shift, and then right click on the folder that says "platform-tools". In the menu, click "open command window here".
10th: Copy the exact name of the supersu zip file in the platform-tools folder.
11th: In the command window type: adb sideload UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip
12th: Press enter. The name of the super su file may not be exactly that, but similar to it.
13: Reboot your tablet.
I don't know if you are a noob, or very experienced, so I made this as noob-friendly as posisble, sorry if I offended you in any way. Here are some pictures.

I did manage to boot into bootloader screen 7 the option to start, but same thing happen, it still stucked at the "4 colors" circle screen. Problem is guys i couldn't get the PC to recognise my tablet even in the bootloader screen. What should i do now?

Ok i can boot to recovery mode and get to TWRP. But as my post above the superSU is not in zipped form, what should i do then? And i couldn't copy the zipped verison into the tablet as my PC won't recognise the tablet. Do i choose wipe to start all over again from scratch? (assuming that's what wipe will do?) or browse into subfolder of superSU "i.e. app, bin, etc, xbi" and install form there manually? Dam im confused without knowing any basic of rooting...I thnk you're the closest to understanding where i am now, please help! Thanks!

ok guys i think my N7 got some serious problem!!
Now it would just stucked on the Google screen and won't even go to the recovery mode!!!

Try and do a factory reset. Just remember a factory reset is not a restore and it will not put your device back to the way it was before you tried to root. A factory reset will wipe the cache and data, not the system. Any changes to the system, kernel or recovery that you made will still be there after a factory reset. Go ahead and dot a reset and let's see if that will get your N7 to boot up. And we can go from there.

Yep I'm serious **** now! Any more experts here have any idea? Or do i have to bring it to local mobile shop to get it fixed? Is Google able to help ?

Anyway... getting supersu installed is a non-issue if you can't get it to boot up. When you were trying to download supersu what you were looking for was the installable zip at Chainfires thread."CWM / TWRP / MobileODIN installable ZIP: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu."

Any manual hardware reset option on N7?

If a factory reset didn't clear it up you might be able to get away with just flashing the system image. Long pressing won't make it reboot?

I'll tell you how the tablet is right now, and hopefully you have some ideas where to go from here.
Atm, when i turn on and off the tablet.
but when i turn it on, it will go straight to the google screen with lock image at the bottom, then it will just stuck there
I tried going to recovery mode, and it won't come up with TWRP , and after a black screen, it will go back to boot screen
Tried "restart bootloader", did nothing too, just gone back original boot screen .
So now what? Gosh did i just break my brand new N7?

you may want to flash your phone back. so this consist of
1) read up how to access to Temp CWM
2) download and transfer the full rom to your SD card
3) do a wipe all partition and go to advanced setting, wipe cache
4) install zip and choose from external SD, point to that .zip file for the full rom and apply.
5) installation may take 10min or so do not switch it off. after installation you are good as new.
I believe this should solve your problem, normal if things get bricked is due to config file error could be [syntax, corrupted, missing, setting].
Flashing should solve mostly of it unless the file that you previously accessed require root and cwm does not give permission to the file. that is a permanent bricking.
As always, newbie should not try tweaking permission required files, you end up having bricking the device as there might be no solution to recover it due to access rights. ALWAYS have a back up file so you can at least copy the file back and chmod it.

here is the stock firmware.
https://www.asus.com/Phones/ZenFone_2_ZE551ML/HelpDesk_Download/
its fine if your phone does not talk to your PC now. copy the firmware to your SD card via other means. [card reader etc]
then try my method of flashing it back to original state, you stated that adb dont work, have you tried the temp CWM method yet?
the main goal is to wipe dalvik cache under advanced menu in CWM, and cache partition and all hard reset.
then you flash back your original file.
hope it works for you.

ive read about the temp cmw method and i cant figure out how to go about it. it says on the instruction that you need to turn on phone before running the cai_dat_CWM. how am i going to do this as my phone will only boot to the asus logo? thanks

just figured it out. I need to boot in fastboot so the phone will get recognized. However, the latest build available on the asus website is still 2.17.40.12. I already have the 2.18.40.12 version. The 2.17 firmware can't overwrite the newer build in temp CWM recovery. Anybody knows where i can download the full rom? Z00A-WW-2.18.40.12?

here is the link for stock but pre-rooted img for latest 2.18.40.12 firmware,,make sure to download Z00A firmware if you have ZE551ML device.. and if I was not mistaken, you may choose to FULL UNROOT in SuperSU apps to go back to stock rom..

Can you get into stock recovery from the bootloader? If so, try sideloading the latest 8.1 OTA.

Regards,

Download the full factory image, boot into fastboot mode and flash it with the flash all bat file. Edit the file first and remove the -w from the file so you don't wipe data.
Edit: Actually leave the - w in there, you need to wipe data.
Also, sometimes of you reboot a few times with that message it will just wipe it for you.

Nope. You need to type "fastboot devices". ADB is when you are in the system... fastboot is when you are in the bootloader.

since you can get into bootloader, just reflash the original boot.img from factory image zip, then do fastboot boot <twrp-filename.img>
if you want to actually install twrp, you have to fastboot boot twrp, then install twrp from that temporary twrp, not directly flash twrp from fastboot.

Samsung Nexus GT-i9250 stuck on X screen with colours changing DATA IMPORTANT HELP!!

I have a GT-i9250 its stuck on the X boot screen with the colours changing.
I think the bootloader is unlocked when you turn it on it shows the unlocked padlock.
The phone charges and usb is being detected by PC.
When I connect in bootloader mode computer detects ADB.
How do I get this phone to turn on fully WITHOUT WIPING MY IMPORTANT DATA?
Board Name : tuna REV 9
Board REV : HSPA - 9
Boot Type : USB MMC1
Device Type : HS
Build Date : Nov 16 2011 16:29:36
FASTBOOT MODE
PRODUCT NAME - tuna
VARIANT - maguro
HW VERSION - 9
BOOTLOADER - VERSION - PRIMEKK15
BASEBAND VERSION - I9250XXLH1
CARRIER INFO - NONE
SERIAL NUMBER -
SIGNING - production
LOCK STATE - UNLOCKED
Thankyou

Which are those important data?
Which ROM version is installed?
Have you got an OTG cable for connect a USB stick?
As first simple step, enter in recovery and wipe only cache and dalvik, than reboot.

Stuck on the multicoloured X on startup for long time.
Important Data is Phone Numbers Pictures Videos Messages.
I went into recovery done wipe cache phone restarted but same problem still same problem stuck on the multicoloured cross.
For recovery mode when the green android appeared I had to hold the power button and volume up button to get options.
I have an OTG cable and USB stick.
I believe it may be a software problem.
I need to try to flash this GT-i9250 without deleting any data on the phone surely there must be a non wipe firmware method I do have a non wipe file but I dont dare try it just waiting for more feedback and see what happens.
Im not sure what ROM ive got on here right now baseband and rest of the details are above it may be 4.2.2 not sure can you tell from details above?
Appreciate your reply Kerpert.
Thank you.

Your bootloader is unlocked. You could boot it into bootloader/fastboot mode, flash TWRP recovery, then reboot into recovery and save your photos and videos at least.

Have you a custom ROM? Which one and which version?
If you have lock state unlocked, flash the twrp recovery, download it from
https://dl.twrp.me/maguro/
Copy the custom recovery into the directory where you have kept the adb and fastboot files,
type the following command to install the custom recovery image onto your Nexus device
fastboot flash recovery <recovery_image_file.name>
fastboot reboot-fastboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
connect the pendrive via OTG cable
use up/down volume to select recovery mode and press power
in recovery mount all the partitions,
go into backup
select system, boot, data
set storage to USB-OTG
start backup
Unmount the usb and disconnect from the phone
connect the stick to the pc and check if the files have been all copied.
create a folder C:\backup\
connect the Nexus via USB cable to the PC, in the prompt window type
adb pull /sdcard/ C:\backup\
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now you have to reflash the same existing ROM from recovery, wipe only cache and dalvik at the end, reboot.

Hi Kerpert Im not sure what the current firmware of my phone is I think its 4.2.2 can you tell what rom I have got from the build date with the details above?
Please can you tell me exactly what to do in BABY STEPS lol so its 100% clear so I cant make a mistake! PLEASE I cant lose my IMPORTANT DATA!
I need step by step detail e.g Which version TWRP etc... and so on!
Mr Rahim Ali thank you for your response!
I really appreciate your time and effort Kerpert in trying to help me!
Thank you!

Sorry I can't understand which ROM you are using from the information upon.
Wait someother of expert that know it and maybe can give better suggests.
My idea is to do a nandroid backup and save it on pc and only after this try to bring back to life the phone, firstly by flashing the same rom you have installed (but need to identify it exactly), if it will boot, you could try with Titanium Backup to restore what you need but I'm not 100% sure it will work (you could also try to restore with TWRP, but dunnot if you can select only some apps).
Avoid to wipe DATA and INTERNAL STORAGE.

It would be very easy to find out current ROM information once you have flashed TWRP recovery. Just boot into recovery, mount system and then make a copy the file build.prop from the /system folder to USB OTG or directly to your PC. Open the file with Notepad or any other text editor. It should contain the required information.

What is the best way to flash TWRP which version maguro?
Hi Rahim or Kerpert

You should have Android SDK Platform Tools installed. You can download from here.
Download the latest recovery from here or here and copy it to your hard drive e.g. in a folder called c:\maguro
You should have Universal Naked Drivers installed which you can get here.
Reboot your phone into fastboot/bootloader mode and connect it to your PC.
Provide the location where you extracted the universal naked drivers if Windows needs to install drivers.
Give the command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery c:\maguro\twrp-3.2.3-0-maguro.img
and you're done!

@Snipergti, any luck?

I Have TWRP Recovery Access!
Hi Rahim Ali
I have followed your instructions and flashed TWRP Recovery!
I just need to find out what firmware I've got via build prop file!
Once I have found out I need to some how get my phone to fully turn as normal and not stay stuck on the multicoloured Cross and need all my information to be still intact i.e contacts messages call logs etc...
Please let me know what are the next steps clearly!
You have been very helpful so far!
Thank you!

Now that you do have TWRP installed, the very first thing you should do is take a full Nandroid backup and store it in a safe place that is NOT your phone, i.e., your PC or on a USB OTG drive.
The second thing you should do, if you haven't done so already, is to boot into TWRP, connect to your PC (or plug in the above-mentioned USB OTG device) and move your DCIM and/or Download (and any other pertinent) folders from your internal storage to said backup device.
Now, to proceed...
Boot into TWRP, hit the Mount button then select/check system. It is checked off/unmounted by default
then go back, hit the Advanced button and then File Manager
Browse to /system where you should see build.prop
select it, then copy to any location on your internal storage. connect to PC while still in recovery and copy the build.prop file from internal storage of phone where you pasted it to your PC
open the file in any text editor like notepad
now begins the guesswork part
slowly go through the text file and see if you can spot which version of Android you have installed.
IMM76I and IMM76K are 4.0.4
JRO03O is 4.1.1
JZO54K is 4.1.2
JDQ39 is 4.2.2
JWR66Y is 4.3
Hope this helps.

[HELP] Stuck on Samsung logo while rebooting after installing TWRP

This is first time I'm root my phone I followed couple of guides and video tutorials. Below is the steps I used,
1. Formated data via twrp
2. Cleaned Dalvic and Cache
3. Install RMM, no Verit and Magisk zip files (without going into recovery )
4. Then then system reboot
And since then I am stuck on Samsung logo screen with blue led flashing. I cannot do anything now tried holding power button nothing.
Its been 40 minutes now and I am freaking out.

Sounds like issue with disk quota management
Use this instead of using no-verity zip to disable disk quota.
Flash last
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389
You will have to re-name the file to add 'quota ' to the file name.
