I was attempting to unlock/root and long story short, now I have TWRP installed, and I can get to FASTBOOT but if i try to boot normally I get the Nexus logo, and no further. When I unlocked, I installed TWRP then loaded it. After leaving TWRP it said 'Seems you are not rooted, want to root"? or something to that effect. I clicked YES and now I'm stuck. Since I had just unlocked it, it *should* have reset my entire device(which was all stock anyway) so I am not sure what went wrong. I have been trying everything I know but I'm now out of ideas. Would appreciate any help. I see now that the version of SuperSu that it would have pushed would have been wrong, would that be preventing the tablet from booting?
If you can mount in fastboot you're not bricked. You tried to check md5 and push the recovery image again? And also try to throw new ROM on it.

It wont boot so I don't know how to put anything on it, it's empty and doesn't show up in windows. Also I don't know what you meant exactly by push the recovery image again. Twrp is working fine. Sorry I am hardly a pro at this stuff.

Then it should be possible to flash and push recovery and ROM to device even get a stock image back.
Which recovery image did you install?
And did you flash any ROM or kernel?

I would suggest you just restore your N7 back to stock. No need for root yet, seriously! But this should help get you going in the right direction.
Power it off completely. Hold Power + Volume down until it boots into the bootloader. Run the following commands:
fastboot devices (to confirm you are connected)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
If you haven't unlocked your N7 yet, run fastboot oem unlock first.

I put TWRP on there, immediately after unlocking. So it should have been completely stock since as far as I know it wipes it when you unlock. After putting TWRP on there, i told it to reboot normally(from within TWRP) and it detected that I was not rooted and asked me if I wanted to install SuperSu. I said yes and now it will not boot to the operating system. It boots fine to Bootloader and Recovery. And I am certain it's connected to my PC because I can even tell it ADB REBOOT BOOTLOADER/RECOVERY and that works. But I don't see how I can load a ROM onto it if I can't access it via windows. I don't know how to get a ROM onto the SD card. Surely there could be a way but I don't know it.

Start over by downloading recovery, Superuser and a clean stock rom image.
But before that you could try to reset all data in recovery (factory reset) and cache if you haven't tried.

I woke up today to a bootloop. After pulling out the battery, I cant turn it on, it was stuck at the google logo. I thought it was some rom issue or something. When I had the time, in the afternoon, I just boot to recovery, and wiped data+sd card. Turns out sd card was not wiped.
Just now, I found a way to boot it. (AFTER WIPING DATA) I used the gnex toolkit and boot with insecure image, and guess wat? My old rom boots. Everything was the way it was, and then it crashed and stuck on the google logo again.(I made sure i wiped things two to three times, data and sd) I did a few experiments:
1) Flash using ODIN
2) Flash CWM using toolkit--it changed back to twrp after reboot
3) Changing the icon on my homescreen after boot--- everything was the same again after booting
4) Flash stock image using toolkit
5) Wipe data using manual adb
6) Try to lock my bootloader
Everything I tried changing, change back to the original state after reboot. What is the problem?
Device: Galaxy Nexus
ROM: Purity 7 sept release
Kernel: Fancy r42
Logs in twrp are showing updating partition, not FAIL. So I really don't think there is a need to show the recovery log.

Oem unlock will unlock your bootloader and wipe the internal storage in the process. I saw you didn't use fastboot. You could try that. Flash the Factory image via fastboot. If that fails try omap flash.

Yup,I tried it already thru toolkit. Not working either.
Dude the toolkit blows, flash back to stock manually via adb command prompt. There are tutorials around here on how to do it. It's guaranteed to work if you don't screw it up.
Honestly flashing back to stock via adb should be something everyone should learn if you plan on flashing roms.

So in the rush to get CyanogenMod installed on my newly-S-Offed phone, I downloaded CWM from the appstore and started looking through the various devices to flash ClockWorkMod Recovery to. I selected the vanilla HTC One, not the verizon-specific model. I have not yet rebooted my phone yet, but I am worried that doing so will brick the phone since I technically don't have the right bootloader. Looking through CWM's list on my phone, there is not a verizon-specific model bootloader. There is one on Cyanogen's site (can't post the link due to XDA restrictions), but it appears to involve rebooting the phone. How should I go about safely flashing a good bootloader onto my phone?

CWM is a custom recovery, not bootloader. Download your choice of CWM or TWRP, reboot into the bootloader and use Fastboot to flash it.

I am referring to ROM Manager from the android app store. When you bring it up it asks you to flash your bootloader. The bootloader I selected was the one for the Vanilla HTC One.
I don't use ROM Manager, but I just installed it on my phone. The prompts all refer to recovery, and make no mention of bootloader. See below.

Its most likely referring to the recovery, not the bootloader; Assuming you're root, Rom Manager is there to flash custom ROMS and custom recoveries. I don't think you'll have bricked your phone if you installed a bad recovery, but I think your best bet would be install a compatible one manually.

Well my phone will reboot safely, which is good.
However, rebooting into fastboot or recovery just reboots into normal mode. Recovery will say the first time that it's going into recovery, but will reboot again and go into normal.
Thoughts?
Success! I just had to keep scrolling. there was a version in Rom Manager, all the way down at the bottom under "m7vzw." Flashing that did the trick.
Thanks for the help.
Cheers.

The S-Off exploit removes stock recovery, so it will go nowhere until you flash CWM or TWRP. Fastboot will work regardless.

Hey pals. I have an issue with my DHD...I am running CyanogenMod 10.1 and yesturday someone messed with the developer options and chose to emulate a 1024x760, or something like that, display. The phone froze and I had to remove the battery to shut it down...However when I try to do a factory reset through CWM recovery the phone freezes on the HTC logo and when I try to boot It freezes before reaching the home screen. I realized that this phone can't boot normally now cos the display emulation i talked about earlier is causing an issue, and the situation has been complicated by the fact that I cant use CWM recovery...So I cant acces the phone completely...So I am wondering if there is a way to undo that setting without using CWM recovery...Something like maybe removing the battery or opening it up n remove something for some time etc. Any help will be appreciated.

You are s-off dont use ruu, it may make you s-on.
Press Fastboot then do the flashing from cmd cd to your your-android-sdk-folder-location-here/platform-tools/fastboot.exe like cd c:/android/ then do fastboot flash recovery.img and make sure you have recovery.img in your tools folder. You can find a .img from the thread I posted previously (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2317202&d=1381475742) in this example extract it place .img in the platform-tools location and rename the .img to recovery.img
Flashing a ruu wont make you loose s-off, it makes you loose root. Two completely different things.
Your issue happened when you did the factory reset.
One possible solution is to:
Flash ruu
Flash a recovery
Flash rom
As long as your phone is recognized by your pc (which may not due to having done tue factory reset - can't remember if it does or doesn't), then you should be good to go.

Sounds reasonable, but not quite sure. I can't remember if you can flash a rom that way. I would suggest to do a proper search, read and see what you can find in that regard.

Well in my research (back in 2010) to flash a ruu with a previous version you need a gold card. After you get the ruu as a PDxxxxx.zip format (look for a desire hd one as others will brick your phone) and place it in the root of your sd card. Reboot your phone in recovery and press vol+ to flash, and wait for 10-20mins and your phone should be alive.
Some sd's dont work with gold cards (in my experience, a kingston 16gb didn't work but a samsung 8gb did for some reason)

I just got an HTC one from Best Buy Mobile (Verizon) yesterday. Turned S-Off using runrunner. Verified root but can not access recovery. I had the same issue with a S4 but it was a known issue for all that has updated to the 4.3.
I have tried all the suggestions in flashing TWRP. I am wondering if this is a Verizon related issue? Maybe they are putting something on their phones to prevent recovery?
HELP!!!!
Something is really jacked up with my phone. It kept saying Unfortunately Amazon has stopped. Over and over again. So I gave up and went to do a factory restore and data wipe. I first went to Super user and removed permanent root. I then tried to do a factory wipe through settings/backup & reset reset phone. It still gave me issues trying to enter recovery mode. It would get hung up and then reboot to a sort of safe mode version of the OS. (with a red disclaimer at the bottom). Then I tried to do factory reset by holding the volume down and power. Its doing the same thing. At this point I don't are about root I just want a working phone.
Any suggestions?

can you successfully fastboot flash a custom recovery? If not can you fastboot the stock recovery..?
To be completely honest, I would just run the RUU. should fix you right up
You could boot into RUU and flash the decrypted stock rom zip to get back to straight stock. The zip reflashes stock recovery. I don't see why that wouldn't work.

Thats odd, i thought you had to have a recovery of some kind.
Here is what I would do:
Lets try Flashing CWM instead of TWRP in fastboot I will post it, and I will also post the stock recovery there to as well.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/kk2esdrx1g1b50p/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.5-m7vzw.img
the image is easily installed via an unlocked bootloader with the following command:
fastboot flash recovery imagename.img
in this case: fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.5-m7vzw.img
See if it actually takes, and report back any errors.
If for some reason it does not, try booting into bootloader/fastboot then push the stock recovery:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/hgzgq84svzahvnv/htconerecovery_signed.img
Hopefully that will at least take and try to push CWM again , reboot bootloader and reboot into recovery . I am hoping that does it for you.
Go here: http://download.chainfire.eu/370/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip and dump SU on the root of your SD card and flash the SU.
I have seen people have all kind of weird issues with rum runner and I am just glad i had the official java card method used on mine. I also tend to just use a stock ROM which is just de-bloated.
Anyways I have used Santod040 roms in case i need to go back to pure stock ROM only: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485319
You will need the odex one to run any OTA
The firmware is a different thing to flash.

Thanks guys!
I was able to install TWRP and also Superuser.
Here are the instructions I used. Maybe they will help someone else like me.
Power off your device, then press and hold Power and Volume Down until you're in the bootloader menu. Highlight FASTBOOT and press Power. You should see Fastboot USB highlighted in red.
Download the latest version of TWRP for your phone and carrier. Rename file to twrp.img.
Open a command prompt on your computer and navigate to your SDK directory. Type "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" and hit Enter.
Then I backed up my stock rom using TWRP
In TWRP's main menu, tap Reboot. It will tell you that you're not rooted and ask you to install SuperSU, so swipe to confirm. When you reboot your phone, you should see a notification that you need to install the SuperSU app. Open the notification and select TWRP, since the app from Google Play only works with S-OFF.
Worked flawlessly.
I installed NuSenseONE max and I love it so far.

Goo.im app as well as ROM Manager, ROM Toolbox can flash recoveries. I've notice there isn't much compatibility with the m7vzw though. You can also use terminal command's from the device. All of these require root access though.

It gives me a "error: cannot open 'open.img', I navigated to the folder that it is located in and executed the command properly every time. I also dont know how to flash superuser using flashboot, so any help will be very much appreciated. Also I'm kinda new to rooted, I have some experience from a few years back, but dont remember everything.

place the name.img file in the same folder as the adb and fastboot executables, open command prompt as administrator for that directory, then type "fastboot flash recovery name.img" substitute name.img for the actual name of the file including extension and make sure there are no quotes around it. also, use "fastboot devices" or "adb devices" to make sure your phone is being recognized.
I got it to work, finally. Thanks for the reply pointedge. I beat u to it earlier in the day and forgot to post up again that I got it. It was like u said, I just had the file in the wrong folder.

Hello everyone!
I suspect that my N7(2013) bricked itself overnight. Before going to sleep, I was watching videos on YouTube. If I remember correctly it was around 45% of battery left. I just put it to sleep as usually, and gone to sleep. In the morning it was dead, so I plugged it to charger and left it that way. After an hour, when I came back I turned it on. It showed the google screen and I put it down. After a while I noticed, that it's still on google logo. I decided to hold the power button so it could reboot. After a reboot, nothing has changed. Next idea I came up with was to enter the bootloader. Tablet booted to bootloader normally and then:
-Start option hangs on google logo
-power off works just fine
-reboot bootloader also works
-recovery mode hangs indefinitely on TeamWin logo.
By now, I have no idea what to do with it. The point is would like to save my data. Is there anything that could be done?
Nexus 7 (2013) Wi-Fi
Stock KOT49H - rooted with Xposed Framework
Stock kernel
TWRP 2.6.3.0 if i'm not mistaken
Thanks in advance.

Sound like pretty much your only option is to flash a factory image thru fastboot, you can download them from here
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#razor
Make sure your boot loader is unlocked
Boot the tablet in to fastboot and run the flash-all.bat file if your using windows, of flash-all.sh for Mac and Linux.you should now have a stock tablet, with the stock recovery, I would also perform a factory data reset thru the stock recovery before rebooting the tablet.
If you would rather use a toolkit, wugs fresh is a good toolkit, and should be able to automate the above steps.
http://www.wugfresh.com
I should also point out that you need to have the proper driver's installed on your PC wugs fresh should guide you thru the process, if you don't already have them installed
I forgot to mention: Yes my bl is unlocked, but doesn't flashing factory image wipe all data? I have one more question: On my PC xperia fastboot drivers are installed. Can I use them, or do I have to install some other drivers? Fastboot recognizes device but I want to be sure.

If it is recognize in fastboot you should be good to go, and yes it will wipe you data unfortunately if you can't enter recovery, there's not much that can be done. I have never been in this situation myself, and maybe someone with more experience than I will have a solution, such as reformatting your partitions thru fastboot, but as I said I've never found myself in this situation, and if it were me I would just flash back to stock, if you happen to have a backup on your PC, you can reinstall your recovery, and restore your backup, anything else is above my understanding of this, or is not possible.
All backups are on tablet both titanium and TWRP. I just wanted to know if it's possible to recover it. I'll try to flash everything w/out wiping data. I think there was such option in wugfresh's toolkit. Maybe it's just one partition that's broken. But I've got feeling like it's going to be data partition that's broken. Thanks for help anyway. I'll try that tomorrow, because it's late night now.

If adb is working then you can adb pull your files assuming the file path it not corrupted

Just Swipe to factory reset in TWRP (leaves data in tact) and flash your Nandroid. Then reboot into system. You can adb sideload onto TWRP from your computer as well. This requires adb not fastboot.

There is a file called flash-all in the factory images, open it and remove the -w from the command line, that is what wipes the data.

I believe he cannot boot into recovery, so he cannot simply factory reset, no? I also thought that to use the adb side load feature, you had to be able to access twrp advanced>adb Sideload and that's for installing zips, no? I was thinking maybe he could adb pull a backup from the device, then install factory image, flash twrp, then restore from there? Or maybe simply reflashing the recovery? (I personally wasn't going to recommend any of this, since I don't have any personal experience in the situation) Maybe I'm missing something? or maybe I'm just an idiot, and I'm in over my head, and I need to read into things more before I post? feel free to tell me so. I'm always trying to learn about anything I can, and someone with more experience setting me straight is always a good way to achieve this lol. I like mpdamaged idea, but isn't that pretty much a dirty flash, and carries some inherent risks, seeing as how he's using xposed, I know it doesn't make any permanent changes to your system, but wouldn't this be the same concept as accepting an ota, in witch case you would need to first remove the xposed framework? Anyway hopefully someone can fill me in and he fixes his tablet, and I learn something lol.

This. You can flash a factory image without data getting cleared and it's a very simple mod. Alternative is to extract the factory image until U have all .img files extracted (have to extract twice if I remember right) then u can fastboot flash system.img and boot.img only and that should work
Another thing, have you tried to reflash TWRP since it stopped working? Could just be corrupted and a reflash could fix it.

@ Thisguysayswht flashing just the system.img will wipe any system mods such as Xposed, used to do it when I was on stock to be able to install OTA

Don't know if you figured out how to save your data before flashing factory image but there is a very easy way to save your Titanium Backups and TWRP backups,
Plug your Nexus 7 into your computer and using MTP (assuming that still works) and look for the TB and TWRP files you can copy them to your computer and once you get your N7 back working just copy the files back to your N 7 and all your backups will be there for you to use. You can even open the files and save just what is important or save everything.
Yes I know that, but as I said tablet is totally unconnectable via adb. Can't boot to Android and can't boot to recovery. By the way I realized that when I hotbooted stock kernel from fastboot it froze on the bootloader screen but I left it plugged to PC and after a while my PC recognized "unknown MTP device" but couldn't find any drivers for it. If I hotboot TWRP.img is it gonna boot to recovery or it doesn't work like that?

TWRP will work like that.

If my memory serves me right, Titanium Backup can restore apps from TWRP backup, right? That way I should be able to save all my data.

Yes, so does Nandroid Manager.
I've just tried to hotboot TWRP 2.7 but it got stuck on TeamWin logo. It's been two or three minutes now. I don't think it will boot anymore, am I right?

Yeah, it would come up pretty quick. Something's not right...try an older version to rule that out, I know 2.6.3 worked for me using fastboot boot.
TWRP is still hanged but device manager showed up "nexus 7" with everything else unknown and code 28 which is no driver installed. Which driver should I install for it?

Officially these: http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html#download
This one worked for me until I figured out how to do it right but must be with PTP not MTP: http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/UniversalAdbDriverSetup6.msi
I think that my nexus boots up everything normally but the screen just hangs on first frame of that thing. Any ideas what would that mean?
