[Q] Can't get into Download Mode?

No matter how hard I try I can't seem to boot into download mode with the battery in or out the power and 1 button won't work any ideas?

Have you tried a USB jig?

Nope.... only other way?

Hold down menu and A as its powering up, then when its on the Sense screen, press 1 and it should boot into download mode.
REMEMBER, MAKE SURE YOU CHECK EFS CLEAR

Hey Biggoron, I've had success holding the 2 button and power. Give that a shot and see if that works for ya!

Try typing "d-o-w-n-l-o-a-d-m-o-d-e" while holding the power and camera buttons, that always seems to do it for me

Doesnt up down up down left right left right A B A B select start get you into download mode?

Does that happen after you haven't used the app for a while, you re enter it and see that you are on the last thread you read ..so you press back button to go back to the main menu and the app closes ??? If yes ..happens to me too always had that problem since ICS thought it was normal .

Quick question

When I try to get into my boot loader manually this what I get. I usually you can scroll up or down to get to recovery. I have to use CWM app to get to my recovery. Any help would be great thanks.

looks like you are going into the download mode instead of the bootloader. for the bootloader, press down in between the volume up/down and the power button. it looks like you are pressing volume down and the power button.

Yeah that's what you get when you hold volume down and power, you need to hold both volume buttons and power on

Recovery Mode

How do I enter recovery mode? It doesn't seem like its so straightforward as the GNexus. (Vol. Down + power button)
Just the booting process alone has ate up 20% battery in 5 minutes..

It should. Use quick boot?

Vol up + power. When you see the bootloader hit vol down twice then power.

[Q] Did I hardbricked my nexus 7?

I was flashing CM11 on my nexus 7 2013. Upon rebooting, it froze at the boot up load screen so I went to force shut down my nexus by pressing the power button.
Now when I turn on my nexus 7, it will display this pixelised/snowy/static screen as shown in the picture. dropbox.com/s/kdw117hbgn4ztpw/IMG_20140217_041652.jpg
(sorry I cannot attach the photo in this post, please go to the link above)
I tried pressing power and up button, power and down button, all 3 buttons but none would boot me into the recovery mode. Is there anything I can do now? Any help is really appreciated. Thank you

Power and volume up would be the correct combo.
Did you try holding both till the splash screen shows and then just releasing power?
You are technically not hardbricked .it gives power to the device. Harbricked means no power at all.

I tried, it doesnt go into any spash screen. It just stays at the snowy screen.

When i press down power and down button, I actually get the print screen sound. So is there a possibility that the software is working but when i flashed I screwed up the hardware?

Sounds like you borked your bootloader. You should be able to use wugs toolkit to restore to factory stock

It doesnt work because I cannot see anything on my screen at all. I cant enable USB debugging and I also cannot boot it nto the bootloader mode

You don't need debugging for adb
