[Q] Bricked my N7 - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Not new to flashing, but I made a huuuuuuuuge mistake today. I accidently flashed the wrong recovery image for the 2012 N7 while trying to unlock and root (yeah, I'm an idiot). Now it gets stuck on the N7 bootup logo.
I can boot into fastboot and recovery mode, but it fails to mount the sd card so I can't do **** anymore. Can't even get it back to stock t this point Any suggestions? I'm on a mac, but have access to PC. Have tried both CWM and TWRP. TWRP just gives me the password screen and 0mb storage. Can't figure out how to get around it or get my storage mounted. CWM won't mount the sdcard either. Trying to adb, but no stock image yet...
Anyone got any ideas?

You need to restore recovery.IMG from someone else's Nexus 7 (flash via fastboot). I did the exact same thing. Look in the root your nexus thread...about 5 pages in. Dude posted it for me.

Well, when I use the command "adb devices" the tablet doesn't even show up. But I can use the Nexus 7 root toolkit for the first gen to flash different recoveries by renaming them, so I don't know what the heck is going on...

Good news: You didn't brick your N7. I'm assuming your boot loader is unlocked. So:
Flash TWRP 2.6.0.0 for the NEW N7
Use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44007919 To fix the 0MB issue.
Now, if you haven't wiped System, you should be able to wipe data and then reboot.
If you did wipe System, find that System.img floating around and flash that.
And always, good luck!

This worked!!! I had to flash TWRP and format data from there, and that got everything fixed. Thanks everyone for the help. I was worried.

Glad to hear you figured it out. Time to make a nandroid for next time

Yep, definitely. I've been flashing for years, but one little mistake can cause a world of pain lol. Lesson learned. Thanks again!

Phone NOT BOOTING UP NEED HELP ASAP

So my friend brings me his gsm nexus and is not loading up stays stuck and loading Google screen but does nothing from there..... I asked him what he had done and he said he went into cwm since he was having problems with his phone and decide to format everything on it sdcard/system/ etc etc etc..... I never done something so stupid before lol So I really don't know how to help him...... any way to be able to flash a stock rom maybe via odin ? or stock anything to get the phone to boot up again ? any help is greatly appreciated....... I could boot it up in recovery mode but since sd card is empty I can't restore any roms or any backups since he seem to have deleted them all
well your friend formatted the /system directory so there is no rom on there. of course it wont boot up.
follow this to go back to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
DO NOT USE ODIN.
also, tell your friend to leave the phone stock until he knows what he is doing.

ya he used so many pronouns and friend references, sounds like a panic and just doesnt want bashed on the forum lol
yes as Z said that will fix the OP's phone
his 'friend' rooted his own phone and doesnt know how to fix it so he hands it to soemone else that doesnt know how to fix it? you should point your friend to XDA, its a great resource
I guess if you guys wanna say is me doesn't really bother me.... I use xda to flash and stay up to date with the community I am in no way a developer or claim to know what I am doing.... Just trying to help a friend out or like you guys say me.... Just trying to fix a phone I was the one that rooted the phone for him... Just don't see the big deal..... But hey if it makes you guys happy saying it was me that did it I don't mind no big deal just looking for help thats all.....

Unlocked Bootloader for 10.3

Will there eventually be an app for unlocking the bootloader on the 10.3 firmware? I don't have the factory cable and it sounds like a lot of people have bricked their device doing the downgrade to 10.2.
I hope so. I am not gonna even try it... Lol instead rooted it and used Kindlefree app to install Nova and used titanium backup. So it's "like" Android but not quite lol....

It worked for me even with the 10.3.1 bootloader. It seems that the exploit is not closed yet.

I can confirm that the utilities still work fine with the latest version of the kindle software, so you shouldn't even need to downgrade.

But if I downgrade my bootloader I won't have to use the whole 2nd bootloader method and all that right? Won't I then just be able to use some utility to flash TWRP and then flash a ROM? This Kindle thing is probably a little more intimidating than anything else I've messed with. I have mine rooted and a bunch of other hacks but I want pure Android on. I don't want a brick though..

What about all that craziness I have been reading about locking up the bootloader due to the 10.3.1 bootloader? I can just forget about that and install that apk file and THEN I would be able to flash a ROM via TWRP? I thought that the thread said that this tool said it was for the old bootloader. This is great news! Can you confirm this? Are we on the same page?

So, it looks like I have screwed something up. This figures as my luck is terrible with this freegin Kindle. So I got TWRP recovery working fine. I DL Cyanogenmod 10.1 and Gapps accordingly. Went into TWRP of course made a backup, then went to flash. I wiped EVERYTHING and went to flash the ROM. I received the error <Could Not Open .zip> So now I have nothing on file except a bad .zip. I did re-download the ROM assuming it was bad and restored my TWRP backup. Now I am stuck in what appears to be a Kindle Bootloop. The Kindle Fire (Orange) logo comes up, a few seconds later it blinks back off again and recycles. Now what? I can't get the Kindle to boot so I can put the .zip back on the machine. I am STUCK. This sucks... :crying:

I did the exact same thing when i got my kindle back in January. (Yeah, i had to order my cable right after that )
For some reason I've never been able to restore a stock TWRP backup on the kf2. It always borks the bootloader.
I know there is a special requirement that our bootloader uses a file called stack on the system partition- that's why you can't get into recovery now (when you wiped the system it wiped the stack file which let's us run the second bootloader.)
Anyway, Once you have the fastboot cable its really easy to get things going again. Pm me if you need a hand.. I've been through this myself a few times lol.
If you ever end up in the same situation again where you wiped the system and the zip is bad... Stay in twrp and use "adb sideload" to push a good zip from pc.

I actually tried the side load through TWRP. When I typed "adb devices" it showed my device in host mode and the file wouldn't transfer although TWRP was in adb sideload mode. But then I just thought "oh well guess I'll restore my backup" lol. Yeah that didn't work out..

**As a special note however DO NOT restore your factory backup if you have trouble. You will end up like me. Bootlooping with a fast boot cable in the mail.** if I could go back in time I would've downloaded the files via a hard line rather than slow wifi and maybe even double downloaded.. Oh well.

Just reflash a Rom for your device, the reason why its not booting is when formatted system it deletes the system apps which allows the phone to work, so the phones os incomplete.

Or you could boot into bootloader and select recovery. From there connect ur phone to ur pc and from the recovery, mount sd card or toggle USB storage which ever it is... enable it and ur sdcard would appear on ur pc, from there copy ur Rom after copying the Rom, unmount ur sdcard from the recovery. From there u can go on and flash your Rom.

I realize that it works and download mode is available.
What I'm saying is that Odin itself is a leaked tool from Samsung. There is no proper documentation for it and there is no official support from Samsung since we aren't even supposed to have Odin.
Fast boot methods are recommended and supported by Google. That is the official way to get out of a jam on a nexus device.
I can't believe that I even have to explain that.

[Q] Huge Problem with Nexus 7

Hello, my name is Jon. I've got a serious problem with my Nexus 7..
So.... I've had my Nexus 7 for about a month and a half and I decided to root it.
Everything was going good. I got it unlocked, loaded a new recovery mode ( Clockwork 6.0.0.6.), and put super user on it.
I loaded up Clockwork and was looking around in it and I accidentally wiped ALL OF THE DATA OFF... That included the operating system..
Now.... When I try to boot up it stays at the GOOGLE SPLASH SCREEN and won't move past that, unless I go to Fastboot or Recovery Mode..
I can't load data on to it due to there not being an sd card slot and my computer won't recognize it enough to allow me to put data on to it.
It recognizes it as "ANDROID ADB INTERFACE" and says it's working properly.
IT WON'T LET ME FORMAT IT OR FACTORY RESET IT DUE TO IT NOT BEING ABLE TO MOUNT THE SD CARD...
I've tried about everything I can think of...
PLEASE HELP!!!! I've had this tablet for for a month and a half and I am definitely not about to let it die.
It's ANROID 4.3 (JWR66Y) Wifi tablet- Running Clockwork 6.0.0.6 recovery

Simplest way I know to fix this is download any rom you wish to install with gapps to your computer (not sure if stock requires you to flash them too since I never ran stock on my nexus devices ). Next download and install the android adk to get adb running. If you are on Windows, located the platform-tools folder in the sdk and press shift and right click on it and select open command window hear. Type .\adb devices to be sure you can recognize your device and then use .\adb push command to transfer your files from the computer to your tablet while in recovery mode
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
You'll need to download the appropriate rom for your device, and use ADB/Fastboot to push to your nexus.
One thing I always do is before I touch anything in TWRP (same idea as CWM) is to make a complete backup of my device before I do any wiping. Granted, if you wiped internal storage as well, this wouldn't help but it would help if you just did a factory reset without wiping internal storage completely.
See if you can do these steps.

You'll want the section Installing CyanogenMod from recovery
Whichever Nexus you have, you should download the factory image from here

Only download the one for your device or you may hard brick it.

I have made that mistake. I have nexus 7 (2012) . When it's stuck at nexus logo or bootloop, i always download the right files and flash them. Then it works great but the last time
I flashed nexus 7 (2013) files to nexus 7 (2012) by mistake. Now it doesn't open and stuck at Google Logo. Can't get in recovery mod and my computer doesn't recognize it. How can i solve this

hi, im presuming you can still access the recovery screen on your nexus7 even though its stuck looking for the operating system that you have wiped.:crying:
if so then try wugfresh nexus root toolkit as im sure it will flash original android operating system on it even though it is soft bricked.:fingers-crossed:
You should be able to get to fastboot mode and then use factory images

lost everythin

so I was going to wipe phone cause I am selling it today and my dumb ass wiped everything and now I have nothing on my device to flash new rom on to phone,I want to keep it rooted and bootloader unlocked.I can access twrp but not sure how to push fiel to phone,I have nexus tools on pc but it just seems to hang,anyone have any ideas how I can fix my problem,I need to get it fixed asap to sell today
Can you upload it to SD and push it from there? Just a thought.

Anyone have any ideas I've searched and from what I've found isn't working for me using nexus tools.

On phone: go to TWRP-Advanced-ADB Sideload and start sideloading. Connect to PC.
On PC: use command "adb sideload *PATH-TO-ROM.zip*" to upload and flash the ROM subsequently.
