Nexus 7 wont turn on (Help desperately needed!!!) - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Well im in a bit of a predicament, my Tab died while my cousin was using it and now ive put it on charge for 30 mins and it wont get past the flashing x boot screen googled it and noticed someone else has the same issue, is it common? any help?

You should be able to download and reflash the rom if needed but not sure if you have too.
What was your friend doing to it? Was he trying to unlock and root, etc?
Will it sync to your PC?

Last night I had a similar issue, it won't pass the initial Google logo.
I just held the power button down for a while, and it turned off, then I powered it on again and everything was fine.
It happened after I tried a bunch of apps and decided to restart it.

They were just watching YouTube videos then the tab ran out of juice, I can use bootloader fastboot ect but I'm in America atm and I'm leaving for England tomorrow morning so I don't have drivers or anything so I'm going to have to find all that again, with reflashing the Rom void my warranty in any way?

My won't get past the flashing x at all, rebooted several times, charged it, everything but it won't turn on

I am guessing it's related to the letting the battery run out of juice.
Charging a completely dead lithium battery may take much longer time. For several times I have to plugin and wait half hour to several hours before the battery even start charging, of course those were on other devices, but I think it should be common among all such batteries. May be the battery hasn't been charged at all.
Since you are still in US, I would suggest take it back for a exchange, whatever the reason, the device should be considered faulty. If you brought it on Amazon then just return and mail it out before you leave.

fixed it by resetting the device in recovery, all works fine now, found a dead pixel now not going to risk returning it now, device is working fine

Seems like it's a 4.3 issue

The phone is randomly turning off

I have an DHD for more than two weeks. I bought it brand new, and it had the latest official firmware, radio and everything installed out of the box. The phone is great but from time to time it turns itself off, without any reason and once shut down it can not start again by pressing the power button, it needs to have the battery removed and than it can start normally.
I tried swithching the Power Saver off, but without any result, it still turns off randomly several times a week.
Somewhere i found some post where somebody was explaining that these problems are related to the poor quality off the materials used for the stock battery, and due to the mA drops the phone gets fooled that the battery is empty and it turns itself off, so my question is if could stop getting this issue if i get some new battery, obviously there are goods aftermarket ones.
Thank you in advnace for the help.
Not rooted? Use the warranty.

Then let them check it. Use the warranty. If it's a software issue you could try the factory reset - but if you aren't sure use the warranty.
Edit: just re-read your post. Use tge warranty. Don't spend extra money for something that ought to be working. Unless you had it shipped to you. But then again, they should pay for all those expenses as long as you follwed tehir guidelines.

I May have the same problem
Did you happen to get it fixed?
I think I have the same problem. My phone randomly shuts down and to restart it I have to take the battery cover off (but I don't need to battery pull) or else it won't start up again. And also the phone doesn't heat up.
At the moment I am waiting for a new battery to arrive

[Q] HoX won't boot, won't charge, won't anything?

Hi guys,
A friend of mine bought his HTC One X a couple of months ago and hasn't done anything to it, it's completely stock.
A couple of nights ago he said he was in the browser, all of a sudden the phone rebooted, loaded back up to the homescreen and then powered off.
Since then he hasn't been able to get it to boot or charge, and has now given it to me to try and fix.
It's been on charge overnight for around 9 hours and there is still no response in terms of leds flashing ect.
I've had a search and the issue has been seen before but not often.
Is there anything you would suggest trying? What would HTC do if this device was sent back, ie is there a 'download mode' for the One X or something similar, that HTC would force the device to boot into?
Thanks!
Should be under warranty if it rooted shouldn't it?

Absolutely right! However HTC have told him it'll take 3+ weeks to get back to him and he's wanting me to try and fix it without going through them..
Bump - Any suggestions?
Have you tried reading this : Wiki
Or maybe this : Disaster recovery
I'm not sure if they'll be useful in your case but you never now.

Anything you will do requires the phone to be unlocked with a custom recovery installed. This procedure is irreversible since the current LOCKED status will change at best to RELOCKED which will cause you a lot of headache later with HTC support. My advice send it to support without touching it.

[Q] Won't turn on, never reaches recovery/download. Suggestions?

About ten minutes into work this morning, my S3 suddenly shuts off completely. I had about 50% battery remaining;
I attempt to turn the device back on, if flashes the SAMSUNG logo, then the Galaxy S3 etc. Afterwards a Battery symbol with an exclamation point; This symbol is orange/grey .
I begin to panic at this point. I pull the battery and put it back in, trying to go into recovery mode. It only flashes the samsung logo, an this time only for 2 seconds and never gets any further.
I ask a co worker to borrow his battery (S3 too of course) and the phone boots up fine. I am somewhat relieved at this point considering it may be have been much worse.
I go to a local moblicity and buy another s3 battery(60$) at which point she says final sale no refunds etc, I don't think anything of it considering I tested it with a co workers battery.
I pop the the new battery in and it gets further than the sammy logos, to my boot animation (Liquidsmooth animation)
It gets to my homescreen, and shuts off immediately afterwards.
Now I have a new battery with a dead phone. Any suggetions?
BTW it's a model SGH-I747M (Bell) that WAS running LiquidSmooth 2.7
Thank you
Try leaving it off and plugged in for a few hours to charge or charge battery in your coworkers phone. The new battery may have had a low charge

My apologies, I forgot the mention with the new battery and the device plugged in there is no red light indicator that it is being charged.
I may just leave it in to see if that does the trick I suppose??
Thank you for your quick reply.
It could be a bad charging port had that happen on my sprint s2 twice, or check for dirt/lint or corrosion in there. Try different chargers, as a test you can also take the coworkers fully charged battery and see what happens if you get the same thing try odining a stock rom something could be corrupt
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
I've tried three different chargers, a co workers battery as well. Nothing gets passed the Samsung logo, and even then it only blinks for a mere second.
The battery I borrowed was fully charged as well.
I can't get into download mode, so I'm really thinking this is something wrong with the hardware at this point.
I've had problems immediately after flashing a rom, but not after using one for weeks already. Seems so odd.
Anyway I appreciate your input, but I think I'll bring it by the Samsung repair shop half hour away from my place and see what they say, or want to charge me to fix it.
Thanks
So you flashed a new rom when this started? Did it boot up after flashing?
I'm asking because it almost seems like a rom for another device could have been flashed.

Try buying a jig to force download mode. If that can force dl mode, Odin to stock.

Actually no, I had flashed LiquidSmooth about two weeks prior. Which is why this somewhat leads to me it being hardware related.
;
I'll try to look around for a jib as that is my last option.
Thanks for the responses.
Well just to put this thread to rest,
A co worker of mine's wife works at a samsung repair shop
I didn't managed to get a usb jig, so I brought it down to the samsung repair shop about 40 minutes away. I explained the situation, after filling out a form left my phone with them told I would receive a call back.
So I received the call, and It turns out the "mainboard" as they put it, is no longer functioning. Usually this replacement costs what they told me around 150$ ; Which is exactly what Bell was going to charge me for a refurb.
Anyway I'll be getting back my phone next week.
Thanks for all the suggestions regarding this issue.
They give any insight as to why it what went out?

[Q] My Nexus 7 doesn't turn on or charge

Hello guys.
I wanna start saying that i found a couple of threads about this issue but none of them was about the 2013 version of this tablet.
Two days ago I was on a plane to London, i turned off my Nexus 7 2013 (the device has at max 3 months and i bought it brand new) that was fully charged.
During the flight I didn't turn it on...when I was at home, approximately 3 hours after, I tried to turn it on without success...tried to recharge it but no response from it...no blinking or steady white light.
Till now I still can't figure out what happened to it considering I just turned it off normally.
I tried all the steps provided by several google official support pages without luck. I also opened the back cover too see if some connectors were not properly attached; no problems there.
I am really starting to think that something broke.
My question would be: I bought it directly from Amazon and I was wondering if it's a problem that I rooted it and I installed a custom rom on it. Is it possible that sending it back will result in having it back myself without any kind of repair attempt?
Thanks to everyone will give this some time
Have you happened to try booting it into fastboot regardless of it not actually starting up? It's a long shot but you could try it.
Also if Amazon can't turn it on either it shouldn't be a problem.

By fastboot you mean the procedure where you have to press volume down + power button?
Anyways i kinda tried everything, it just doesn't respond.
Altough what I noticed just yesterday was that if I plug it to the charger it gets warm on the back, upper part meaning that the power still goes through...
But thinking that this is something related to the battery doesn't feel right...it was fully charged when I turned it off the last time.
I think i should give it back with RMA...It feels like the only choice i have.

Nexus 5X Bricked after Andriod 7 Update

Hi
I updated the latest OTA Android 7 last night and the phone will not turn on and my laptop does not recognise it at all.
Do I now have an expensive paper weight?
Anybody else had this?
Thanks

No sign of life
Hi
Nothing, the phone was fully charged, the phone went to reboot after the update and it never came back, when I plug it into the supplied OEM wall charger and I get no sign of life.

It seems bootloader is corrupted, weird, I would send Phone RMA but wait for other mates' mind

So when you say "I updated the latest OTA Android 7 last night"- does that mean Google actually pushed it to you or did you sideload it?
I'm having the same issue but didn't sideload it - I was away from my phone for several hours, came back and it was dead, no boot up nothing and I have no idea why or if N was pushed to my device while I was not watching.
The ota update wont install unless you give permission to download and then restart to install...

in the forums someone said that if nothing works then few bands pressing the power button will dry the battery out after a day. later it should work again (after some charging ofc )
Hi
OK, it was not side loaded it was OTA I gave permission and it downloaded installed rebooted and then died.
I will leave it off charge for a day or two and then give it another try,
FYI, my record for holding the buttons down so far is 2 minutes then I gave up and my fingers where blue.
Thanks for your help

Yeah I think 2 minutes is quite enough. If you just can't get the phone to turn on you only have one choice.. RMA. Sorry.

(Volume Up + Power wait 3 seconds then plug in power cable)
Update, I left the phone off charge for three days and then plugged it back in, it flash's red about 4/5 times and then nothing?

My phone seems to be having the same issues yours is having. I got a notification that Android 7.0 Nougat was available, so I downloaded it. Sunday night I was playing on my phone when it froze, I turned it off and tried to restart it. It flashed the Google Splash screen and then died. Its been 3 days since my phone has worked. During this time I've tried everything I could think of to try to make it start. My computer won't even recognize the device. I get a "device descriptor request failed" notification from my computer. I called Google on Sunday and they're sending me a warranty replacement.
I tried to turn it on this morning and the LED flashed red. I'm going to charge it and see what happens. Hopefully, I can pull my pictures off of the phone before the warranty item arrives. (I'm dumb/paranoid and didn't back them up on Google Cloud. Lesson learned.)
Guys. Are we on stock recovery, bootloader & radio? If people are flashing ota's with modified recovery's, this is the problem.

No mine was stock.
Mine is also 100% stock.

wow stock phones having this? Scary.
Ive done this to myself in the past. I know people generally frown on this advice but Ive used wugfresh's tool box to pop it back to life.
Generally I plug the phone in and just fiddle with the power and refreshing the TB until something get recognized. One time I was able to get it to the bootloader than just let google do everything from there.
Scary stuff.
Are you at least seeing a backlight?
