Stuck on a boot loop. Please help.. - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

I'm unlocked and rooted on stock ROM. Turned off the N7 to charge and woke up to a boot loop. What should I do? I can go into recovery.

Do a factory reset through recovery.

Yes but you should have made a recovery file right? It's either that or no phone, weigh it.

Will do. Scared to power off my Nexus 7 now lol =]

Doing a factory reset in the recovery clearly states it only wipes the userdata, cache and dalvik cache - not your internal storage. I prefer to do everything my self manually instead of using ROM Manager, GooManager, Recovery Manager, Nandroid Manager, etc which makes a mess of my internal storage.

And it happened again.. This can't be normal. Anyway, did another wipe. no worries but this seems to be happening a lot with other users..

In case there is any confusion.
Factory reset through twrp will NOT wipe your virtual sdcard (ie /data/media)
Factory reset through stock recovery WILL wipe your virtual sdcard.

Yeah, I got that now. Lol I got play with the device tonight and figure out what is causing it to boot loop.

Sounds like all you need to do is install BusyBox from within TB. Just click on the Problems? button at the bottom. Then Get BusyBox. Should fix you right up.

What do you mean stock, like stock rooted?
Do a battery pull again, when you start up, hold vol+down to get into the bootloader, then try selecting recovery.

Download the RUU, from bootloader, select fastboot, connect the phone to the pc, once the phone shows fastboot usb, then thr ruu exe on the computer. After that, re-root using unrevoked.
i'm still waiting to RUU to download, but I got my other buddies to work since he waited for me lol but for some reason gmail contacts won't back-up but all other gmail things sync. Do you think it's network (google) thing or cyanogen?

That sounds like a network issue, because there'd be no reason for the other google things to sync, but not contacts. Did you try to reboot?

Black screen CM7.03

First I would like to point out that I am a new to flashing. I rooted my phone last week by following the instructions on the xda wiki for my G2 and everything was fine. One thing that annoyed me was that Netflix no longer worked on my G2 so i downloaded a .zip file on these forums that was said to fix it. when my phone rebooted i had an all black screen almost as if i dont have a home launcher. i have a notification bar and when i go to the unlock screen i can see the wallpaper and such but when i unlock the slider everything goes back to black. Any idea why ?
Netflix not working is a well known problem but what steps did you take to run the patch
Btw I blacked my screen just lije you and it was because I forgot to wipe, so I recovered and did it the right way, you have a backup right?

Dude I think he's a little more worried about getting phone running correctly. Turn off phone, hold pwr and vol down, once in hboot press volume button down once so u can select recovery, in recovery wipe data/factory reset. Reflash rom from where ever its saved. Sure you hope you made a nandroid of your original rom.
As far as netflix. Obviously it works on froyo, but homestly everytime I have run the patch(correctly yes) with any gb based rom it will then play video but so choppy there really is no point in bothering..and I'm on a 40Mbps connection(phone right around 20Mbps) so that's not the issue.
However I started using coredroid today and after ran the patch netflix works better than it did on froyo...quite happy and its a pretty sick rom
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
My bad...I feel like an ass now. Its not a rom so you shouldn't have to wipe data/fac reset. I didn't do it for coredroid
But if you have the bigger issues you mentioned I would either flash your nandroid or if you are going to want something esle wipe all data/factory and dalvik..or even better get on a computer, download superwipe from dev section. Place on sd and flash that first
Sorry for jumping the gun hahaha

[SOLVED] [Q] HELP!!! Bricked My Baby!

I was playing with Rom Toolbox Pro and was changing the status bar icons. I did agree to the backup requests. In the middle of one of the icon changes, the program glitched. I tried to give it time, but it would glitch again. I finally removed the battery and now it won't go past "Samsung". Since I am on Ting an MVNO of Sprint, I don't have Sprint's boot animation, pure Samsung.
I did hold the volume / power / home buttons and tried every choice but factory reset. Though there is a high probability being new and stupid, that I di them wrong.
So . . . HELP!!!

When you get to to recovery restore a backup if you made one. Which you should always make a backup before making changes on ur rom. Or you may have to reflash the rom. If you can get into recovery your phone is not bricked.

I did not do a backup, but Rom Toolbox Pro did for the files that changed. I cannot find those backup files in the in recovery. I went through every folder in "Apply Update From External Storage"

If you can find it i guess your only option left is to wipe everything and flash the rom again so you can get your phone to boot.

Contacts should be all synced to gmail. Just reflash and wait a minute for them to come back all by themselves after you log in.
I don't remember if the latest twrp has a file manager function (can't check while using the same phone to write thisn post) but if it does you might be able to replace the files that way. Otherwise, one theoretical option is you could extract the files from a stock rom and make a flashable zip that just puts those exact files back, copy the zip to a microsd card using a card reader & a pc (i don't think you can do much via usb while in recovery). Pop sd card back in phone and flash with twrp.
Possibly less work to restore contacts by hand again. This time let it sync to gmail so you won't be so screwed again. Better yet use titanium backup or rerware mybackup so you get txts, call logs, bookmarks, wifi keys, bluetooth pairings, contacts and apps.

I was already and waiting for the download to finish of the Sprint ROM to put it on my MicroSD. Didn't think about just replacing the bad files and was just going to flash it again. I don't know if I am knowledgeable enough to pull off just replacing a few files. I may end up learning the hard way.

Unfortunatetly the "factory reset" option in TWRP is not the most descriptive wording.
All factory reset does is delete the data partition. It doesn't restore the OS userspace programs or the kernel or the modem/firmware or the bootloader.
Now that you've done that, there is no more chance to recover anything, which means there is no more reason to agonize over reflashing a new rom. Go ahead and flash away.
Simplest way, since you have a working custom recovery, is use a pc to download one of the recovery-flashable rom zips and put it on a microsd card. Put the sdcard back in the phone, boot into recovery and flash that zip.
It's simpler and safer than trying to use odin.

I've done a search and can't find any unmodified "recovery-flashable rom zip" Then I wouldn't know what to do with it. Desperate - how much to fix this? I am in Westchester NY.

Did you only factory reset and reboot?
You should just factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and reflash your old rom, then reboot.

I hope the experience doesn't scare you off flashing forever. You're actually not in bad shape right now. Your recovery is doing it's exact job it's named for. Your phone is booting into recovery, and twrp in particular is a powerful flexible one. It's a whole mini OS really.
And even if your recovery was screwed too, you could still use " download mode" and odin to flash everything back, it's just les convenient and less well documented but the standard recipe of steps is up there on galaxynote2root.com and elsewhere.
There's also a one click back to stock here on xda too. That runs from a pc and attempts to do everything to go all the way back to factory, including firmwares, bootloader, even resetting the flash counter back to 0.
Really your problem is that there are so many options it's confusing to figure out how to choose which one!
Hang in there. Try flahing the zips I pointed too and if there's a problem don't worry just post back here what happened.
For intance, when I flashed those, I had to an extra reboot that the instructions didn't say. After I flashed the firmware zip, the rom zip wouldn't flash. It just said failed in red letters. Scary. But I rbooted back into twrp and it flashed fine then. That happened a few different times on different roms after doing manual wipes in twrp also not just after flashing firmwares.
So don't worry.

I followed to the letter the MA5 installation from Stock_Rooted_Deodexed _Ma5_Rom and LJC-MA5 firmwarezip Links UP!
It didn't work, even after rebooting twice via recovery. So I wiped cache and user data again and rebooted. My baby is till stuck at "Samsung" in the boot animation. :crying:
KEYofR - This is so depressing and I really do appreciate your encouraging words right now. I wish there was a Super Thanks button.
Sorry didn't read ahead. If you are on TWRP recovery just grab any rom and flash it and you should be booting. Make sure after you flash not to wipe anything (especially system).
bhint15 said:
First question and if you can't answer this then you need to read up on ODIN and reflash back to stock. What recovery do you have installed? How did you perform your wipe that isn't allowing you to boot? You mentioned you wiped everything else so if you wiped system/etc then yes your phone will not boot.
Click to expand...

I agree, I need to read more. I am learning every day. There is just no handbook that I can start on page one and start reading. So my limited knowledge is scattered. If flashing back to stock will fix it, then so be it. If you have any suggestions on what to do next or what to read, please tell me.
Oh, all the wipes I did was from the recovery menu. I don't think system was one of the choices. But it didn't boot before I did that either.
EDIT: Looking at the recovery menu, the only choices are
*Wipe data/Factory reset
*Wipe cache partition
So no system wipe choice there.
Re: [Q] HELP!!! Bricked My Baby!
You may have to use ODIN to flash back to stock. First thing I would do is see if the phone will get into download mode. It's volume up or down with power button and home button.
If you can get into download mode you will have to use ODIN on your PC to get back to a stock rom. Thats my advice at least.
Re: [Q] HELP!!! Bricked My Baby!
After flashing ma5 and rebooting, did you let it sit on the samsung screen a while? I forget what the circumstances are but sometimes it can take a minute or so on the first boot.
You could try this one.

[Q] Am I trapped AOSP?

I flashed an AOSP Rom (SuperNexus) on my LGOG. Now when I try to flash a Stock (ZVB) based ROM, my phone reboots every time data connects. I tried Stock Rooted and Lifeless. The ROM's will flash onto my phone, but I can't get any data.
I tried installing LGNPST, but every time I connect my phone and open the LGNPST software I get a message that LG USB/Parallel dongle is not detected. I flashed back to Super Nex and my connection is fine.
And I am re-flashing, not restoring a backup. I ran a backup in TWRP before I flashed Super Nex so that I could get back to my Stock setup, but TWRP can't see anything to restore.
Ugh

This happened to me a couple months ago.
Easy solution:
Go to TWRP -> Wipe -> Advanced -> make sure you wipe all four options data, dalvik, cache, and system.
When you factory reset you only wiped data, dalvik, and cache. You forgot to wipe system, then you can go back to flashing normally.
Dont worry this wont wipe your SDcard.
Well I ****ed up. I formatted the data partition. I am now hard bricked. No recovery, no boot, nothing. glad I purchased that insurance.

Are you actually hard bricked because at this point normally I'm pretty sure you could just LGNPST back to stock? I mean I've wiped everything before to rule out dirty flashing related bugs on ROMs and I don't think TWRP actually touches any of the really critical low-level files.

Worse than I've done before. Whatever I did I got black screen no matter what volume rocker power button combo I use. I have lgnpst installed on my computer but it doesn't recognize that I have my phone plugged in. Not sure what to do with that. Everything worked well when I rooted.

I had the same issue with LGNPST. The solution is very simple. Uninstall LGNPDT completely from your computer. Go into start-computer-c drive and delete folders labeled LG electronics off of there and inside program files. Then reinstall LGNPST but right click the .exe file and select install as administrator. This will solve your issue and flash back to stock. Make sure you follow the normal process of selecting the .dll and .bin files.
Let me know if this helped.

TWRP Backup Gone

So I've noticed that when flashing new ROMs, my old backups tend to disappear. Which is super obnoxious... Because if I need to go back to stock, I have to use a combination of LNGPST and LG Flash Tool...
Anyone else having this issue and/or know how to solve it?

When in twrp try tapping restore. Then when the next screen shows up, try tapping "Storage: Internal Storage" at the top. This has worked for me a couple times
