hi everybody,
I'm usually more active on auto forums but I need your help.
wanting to install a custom rom, I'm a but lost in the manipulations. Last night when I wanted to turn on the tab (only with the power button), I had the google logo that was displayed at the top right and the small rectangle of recovery menu (start, recovery, reboot bootloader and poweroff). With buttons I could choose one of four functions. I had access to the recovery menu, when I choosen restart bootloader, it well reboot and poweroff worked well too. By when I clicked start I had a small line at the top left telling me "boot failed"
I try to flash everything thanks to a tutorial.
So I'm DL the original elements but still the same issue. Having struggled until 3am I give up. This morning when I tried to turn on the tab, I did even more than what I have explained below whatsoever with the power button or volume down + power nothing happens the screen stays black.
Any Ideas?
PS sorry for the language I'm french
If you bought it from a local store or if a local store carries it, I'd recommend just retuning for a new one. Haven't seen anyone having your problem. If it won't even turn on, then any store should exchange it, or return it, with no questions ask once they see how your tablet is behaving!!

I'm seriously thinking of this solution but I'm afraid before they give me a new one they send it to their after sales service. If they find out I have rooted it and unlock the bootloader they will make nothing for me
Have you tried returning it to stock to see if it'll boot then? It could just be a bad flash.

I tried every thing.I downloaded nakasig-jwr66v-factory-aebc7b11 and I flash everything but nothing happens. Yesterday evening I was able to boot it (even if it was a bad bood I had only access to recovery mode), but from this morning I tried everything but nothing happens. Even if I plug it to my PC impossible to boot it. The PC do not recognize it (I checked in ADB mode and fastboot mode but the PC do not recognize it)
Good English friend. Can you boot into TWRP? If yes, install any custom ROM after a thorough wipe in recovery. Good luck!

Thank you .
No it doesn't works. For the time being my first to issue is to succeed to boot it at least as yesterday evening.
So if I'm understanding you correctly the Nexus 7 won't even turn on at all now, right? Try holding the power button down for at least 30 seconds and see if it will turn on.
Also, the Nakasig image is for the 2012 version of the Nexus 7 and won't work with the new one. The new 2013 version is named Flo but Google hasn't released the factory images for it yet. However, if you can get the device to power on and back into bootloader mode you should be ok as there are a few unofficial versions of the Flo image on the forum.
One last thing, to quickly boot into bootloader mode hold the Volume Down button while pressing the power button. But try just the power button for at least 30 seconds first to see if you can get it to turn on at all.

+1 Try plugging it in for awhile too. You want to get to the bootloader - the screen with the Android where you go through the options with the volume buttons. Once there,you can use fastboot to flash TWRP and fix from there. Again, stay away from the OLD Nexus files.

I tried to keep on the power button during 1 min with and without charger and pluged to PC : nothing happens. I tried the same thing with volume down + power and nothing happens either
I'm not sure what might help next. Perhaps someone with more experience will come along with advice. If it were me I would probably return it and tell them the power button stopped working.

So you flashed everything from the file nakasig-jwr66v-factory-aebc7b11.tgz? It's for the 1st gen Nexus 7 Mobile version. It would also flash the bootloader and radio. I am guessing that flashing the wrong bootloader might have bricked your device. Someone please correct me if i am wrong.

the old nexus 7 or the new 2013 model with a camera on the back? is yours wifi only or 3g capable?
The only thing i can think of is to plug into your pc's usb port and hold the power button for 30sec.
Then unplug from PC and press power button for about 15sec and you should see the google logo - if not, i think your bootloader is bricked from flashing the wrong one.
If you do see the google logo, keep holding power and also press vol down as soon as you see the logo - should get you into the bootloader.
Messing up the bootloader is the only way you can brick a nexus, feel sorry for ya man
noob question: so you are using a Nexus 7 (2013) and you flashed an old-nexus-7 ROM on your device? If you're using the new one, here is the ROM for the new one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44054613.
I have just had the same problem. Flash the old nexus 7 kernel on the new one, luckily I fixed it
There is a different forum for the 2012 Nexus 7 here. This forum is for the 2013 version.

100% Stock, Stuck at "X" Logo on boot. "Dead Android" w/ Exclamation (!) in Recovery
Can someone please help me, PLEASE!!
I just want to be able to download the data from my phone, I don't care about getting android working again right now, I just want to download my photos and videos from the phone. I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus that's completely stock, including locked bootloader. I tried using the toolkit and I am able to have it see the device while it's in fastboot but I can't do any of the functions because it wants to unlock my bootloader which will erase all my data! I was just swapping the battery on my phone when this happened. I wasn't trying to do anything special, it was just supposed to be a normal boot up but it just got stuck on the "X". I'm running 4.1.1. My stock recovery shows a photo of a dead android and an exclamation point. It looks like this: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jF4CgOU8c...ASKg/m6YOuDRcs4g/s1600/AndroidRedTriangle.JPG
Can someone please help me? I will seriously send you a paypal for your time, just please help me the data from my phone. I am somewhat savvy, like I said...I am in fastboot, my drivers are installed, and the toolkit can recognize my phone without any issue.
Thank you soooo sooo much in advance!
Why don't you just boot into stock recovery and just wipe cache. Maybe some rogue app is preventing your boot up.
You will not lose any data by only wiping cache.

Thank you again so much in advance.
Don't fear....
Even if you unlock your boot loader your data is not actually gone. But let's cross that bridge if we get there.
First things first: take your battery out, take your sim card out, put your sim card in and put your battery in. Boot up the phone.
If that doesn't fix you then the next thing to do is try safe mode. Power off the phone. Then, press the power button and BOTH (yes both) the volume up AND the volume down buttons. Hold them until the phone boots up.
If that doesn't work write back. Don't worry though. Your data is safe.

First, thank you so much for replying.
I should have been more clear in my original message, I took my battery out and sim card in and out over 10 times and I even let the phone sit there for 30 minutes while it was at the X animation to no avail.
I have now also attempted a safe mode boot 4 times with no luck. During my safe mode boot attempts, the phone vibrated a few times but the display just remained at the X animation. It even did it after I let go of the volume key. I'm not sure what to make of this but I attempted it twice with holding both volume keys down as soon as the "google" logo appeared and twice with just the volume down key as soon as the "google" logo appeared. Same thing all 4 times, just sits at the X animation.
What would you recommend as a next step to recover the data? I really only care about the DCIM folder, nothing else matters that much.

When you see this, press power+ vol up to get to the stock recovery menu. There is a wipe cache option there. It may take you a few tries to press both buttons at exactly the same time, but keep trying. No need to reboot in between tries.

Thank you for your reply. I was able to get there and I formatted my cache. After that completed I chose the option to reboot the phone. I didn't do anything special during that reboot like trying to hold the volume down button as well for safe mode, I just let it go. It sat at the "X" animation for about 15 minutes before I gave up and tried it again holding the down volume button, again...no luck. I tried it a third time with holding the down and up volume buttons, no luck.
Any other ideas? Again, I know I've said this a few times but believe me when I say...I really appreciate your guys' help.

I think you need to get into fastboot, unlock the bootloader (if it isn't already) and put a clean factory image on. You'll lose your data when you unlock, but there is a thread in this forum on recovering that information. If you're already unlocked, just flash the boot and system images individually - it may clean up whatever is corrupt.

I tried this, it recovered only 36 files out of a 28 GB data file, and the files it did recover were all just files that have been on the phone since I unlocked the bootloader, flashed a custom recovery and flashed a stock OS so I could boot up and do all this. Frankly it seems like the files recovered were all the ones that were on the phone since I flashed a rom, none of my previous data are there. I followed the instructions to a T. Am I doing something wrong? Is the recovery software limiting me somehow because I am not using the paid version?
You have been so kind and helpful thus far, please assist me in figuring out what else I can do.
Thank you!

A better data recovery solution? A better way to extract the data from the phone? Anything. I am desperate. I am contemplating going to a legit data recovery center and paying the $500 cause I don't know what to do anymore but I don't even know if they'll be able to do anything.

You could have just transferred files using adb and then a factory reset on your phone with the recovery.
Here's the backstory, I bought a Nexus 7, powered it up, and everything was working great. It forced an update on me right when I turned it on which surprised me but I let it go. After this I power it off thinking about installing TWRP on it because I remembered unlocking wipes my data. Anyways, after I power it off it never turns back on. Thinking I got a faulty device, I go exchange it for a new one, but the exact same thing happened again. Am I missing something? Any suggestions. I can't get into fastboot (holding all three buttons or just 1). In fact pressing any combination of buttons doesn't show anything happening at all.
Thanks for your help

EDIT: I fixed it by unplugging and plugging in the charger then holding power for 15 seconds. I followed the instructions here and managed to get it to boot, however I have to do this every time. This is with bootloader FLO-03.05 can anyone else confirm this behavior?
Power + Volume Down is what's used to get into the bootloader. Have you tried rebooting straight into bootloader from the ROM with ADB?

I can't get into the ROM. It won't boot at all. Even when I plug it in the battery symbol doesn't show up. My guess ATM is that google pushed an update that broke the bootloader but I'm hoping someone can prove me wrong.

Well, as the title suggests, I just got my new Nexus 7 in the mail. Played around with it, definitely liked it. I wanted to get it rooted and used this guide on the website to try to root it. I installed the drivers, enabled debugging and developer mode and USB debugging, saw the serial as it said, and then I unlocked the bootloader and tried to root my tablet. Things started to get wonky. The toolkit said that it was completed, but my tablet stuck on the loading 4-colored X screen. It's been about 30 minutes and I'm thinking that my device is bricked. Then I tried to restore the device but the toolkit isn't recognizing the tablet. How do I restore my tablet, or do anything with it?
Please help, as I don't want to waste $220 on 4 hours of having a working Nexus 7.
UPDATE: So it wasn't bricked it, as I was able to return to the home screen. After a day of using it though, with the Nexus being buggy (freezing and crashing), it just died. I can't boot it or anything. It's plugged in, but nothing's happening.

Download factory image and do a factory restore:

I personally don't like toolkit. Recommend to root it yourself step by step.
I, being very technically unsavvy, have no idea what to do with the images.
Alright, here's the good news. You haven't bricked your nexus. You can and will fix this yourself, without a tool kit.
Read this thread:

Same thing happened to me a month ago. Most important thing, don't freak out. Hold power for 20sec to hard reboot, then as soon as google logo appears hold down volume button to enter bootloader screen. From there you can do anything

Did you boot into the phone after you unlocked the bootloader but before you tried to root? Do you have a custom recovery installed?
doe you have a custom recovery?
if so check if you still have your internal storage, i had the same problem as you but there is a bug going around when u unlock your bootloader your internal memory is wiped see this threat for feather explaining: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2380913
In my case i booted to fastboot and did the command fastboot -w and then it created new user partitions and then i could flash the stock image and then it worked again
Hope i helped u
No custom recovery, but I have an update:
So after using the vol- and power buttons, I was able to bring the Nexus back to its home screen for a day (so it wasn't bricked), but it was really buggy- freezing on my and shutting down. Now though, I think it's bricked; I can't power it up, can't do anything. So I can't turn it on now :/. Probably gonna take it to see a repair store sometime soon.

If you're not rooted, it's just a stock update. There isn't any more risk than there is for any stock version, and you shouldn't lose data. If you buy a Nexus 7 2013 a few months down the line, after current stock with JWR66N is sold out, I believe it'll come with that update out of the box.

I can't tell. The damn thing doesn't respond to anything. It's plugged into the wall right now and not doing anything. My PC doesn't recognize that it's plugged in.

Unrecognized in ADB or fastboot? Can you get into bootloader (boot while holding power and volume-down)? If you haven't tried fastboot while the phone is in the bootloader, and you can get into bootloader, try "fastboot devices." If you can do that, download a custom recovery and flash it from fastboot. Then format data and reboot.

Done and nothing
Download the platform tools: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390355257214632011 and
TWRP for the WiFi: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/flo/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-flo.img or LTE version: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/deb/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-deb.img
Unpack the platform tools zip into a folder, copy the openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-deb.img file into the same folder and open a command prompt into this folder (hold shift while right clicking on the folder and the option should be there).
Try to turn the nexus off by holding the power button for 30 secs, connect it via USB to your PC and wait till the screen shows the white charging information. Now press the volume down button on the nexus and keep holding it while you press the power button. After a moment you should see the green android with the open belly and some device information on the screen.
Now go to the command prompt you opened and enter: fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-deb.img for the LTE or fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-flo.img for the WiFi version.
After a few seconds you should see the recovery screen, if it asks you for a password just hit cancel, there choose "Wipe" and then "Format Data" and confirm that you want to format data. After it has done its stuff go back to the main menu and choose reboot and let it boot into system. Now it should work again.

That would be great, but when I plug in the tablet to the PC the screen doesn't show any information. That and I can't turn on my Nexus in any way, including the volume down and power method.

How long has it been charging? I'd give it a couple hours, then try the bootloader again.
I have a Galaxy Nexus, GSM version. It was working fine about ~3 weeks ago. I turned it off and removed the SIM card as I upgraded to a new phone.
Now I've turned it on and it just hangs on boot showing the animated X.
I tried recovery mode and get a "No Command" error.
I've never done anything to this phone before, in other words it's just running standard Android. Any advice? I've looked through some past posts but it seems like a lot of people have rooted the phone with custom OS, etc. I've never done any of that. So trying to figure out what the issue is with this phone. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
GR
<BUMP> sorry for pinging on this again but haven't seen any replies and I'm stuck... not able to get the phone to start. Any help would be much appreciated. Not sure if anyone else has had this problem? Thanks so much. GR

when you see this "no command", press power + volume up to see the recovery menu
Thank you so much for the info. I'm trying this when I see the no command screen but nothing happens. The phone is just completely locked / frozen. I have to remove the battery. Any additional help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,

Maybe you don't even have a custom recovery installed yet? Not necessary, but since custom recovery are far more convenient than the stock one, you might wanna give it a try.

The phone is completely stock. I've never done anything to it so not sure why I'm having this issue to begin with. But what custom recovery would you recommend I try? Is there a link that you can send me? And how would I install it given that I cannot even get the phone to boot?
Thank you

Hold both VOLUME+ and VOLUME- keys, and while holding, long press POWER key. Do you see a green Android robot with its lids open? If yes, you're in fastboot mode, from which you can flash recovery, stock ROM, etc. (but if no...)
I'm on the phone now and can't provide links... Just first tell us whether you could boot into fastboot, will catch up later depending on your answer.

When the phone is off, if I turn it on it just hangs at the animated X.
When the phone is off, if I press volume up/down + power then yes I see the screen that you're talking about. So I can boot into fastboot. When I choose Recovery Mode it restarts and that's when I get the No Command error.
Thank you so much for your help.

Install the correct ADB and fastboot drivers and files on your PC (I can't help you with this).
When your GNex is in fastboot, connect it to your PC, wait for it to get recognized.
Download CWM recovery here: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager - you'll have to choose your device variant (GSM/Verizon/Sprint), and choose if you want touch or not. Downloaded file should be an *.img file.
Open a command prompt window on your PC, enter "fastboot flash recovery *PATH-TO-YOUR-RECOVERY*.img" (no quotes). After flashing completes, just boot into recovery and do what you should do.

Just want to thank everyone for all of the help. I really appreciate it. Andy, I did try several of the steps that you mentioned but for some reason the PC just wouldn't recognize the phone in fastboot mode. I tried both the Google and Samsung drivers.
In my searching I found this post though:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/help/nexus-4-stock-recovery-command-issue-t2113478/page2
And realized that I should check samer's advice again. Turns out that I just wasn't pressing those two buttons in the correct sequence. I was doing it simultaneously and I guess you have to do it serially. At any rate was able to restore factory and now the phone is booting. Wow. What a pain. Still not sure what caused the phone to blow up in the first place.
At any rate really appreciate everyone's help.
Warm regards,
GR

I am trying to unlock bootloader i go to the poitn the message appears on the tablet screen unlock bootloader i press power to select yes the toolkit then proceed in saying erasing data and just stays there on that screen for ever.
Then i tried to use the nexus root toolkit and the exact same happens.

You can try doing it manually. This guide tells you how: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2382051. But since you can't boot the phone normally you can boot into the bootloader by turning your tablet off. And then boot it up again while holding volume down key. Keep holding volume down until you are in bootloader mode. Then you can continue to follow the guide.

Thank you the reply.
I have tried that method too, but it always gets stuck at the same point clearing user data.
By the looks of it is completely gone judging by the other threads.
First nexus i ever bought and dint last 4 months(lost the receipt so no hope in returning it)

I have the same problem. Based on the sites I have visited, there is no current way to fix it. Google will probably never make a fix since they're getting tons of money from people buying new tablets to replaced they're broken tablets. Sorry about that.
Have you not tried the excellent Nexus Root Toolkit by Wugfresh? Worth a shot I reckon.
