AOSP 2.99 beta5 (five) Reboot loop! bricked

The problem I encountered must be the worst problem ever! For some reason my nexus reboot randomly and its not just a regular reboot but it reboot as a DEEP FREEZE. So basically once it rebooted, it goes back to a same specific point of time. I can't even delete stuff from the phone, for example if I deleted 1GB of music off my phone, after few second the phone will reboot automatically OR if i reboot the phone myself the 1GB of music would be back in my phone. Like WTH? I am completely lost. I have no idea how it happened, but I know it happened after I installed Paranoid Android AOSP 2.99 beta5. I was fine when flashing Paranoid Android 1,3,4. ALSO I cannot do a factory reset or install a factory rom. It just go back to 4.2.1 AOSP 2.99 beta5...
please guys, if anyone can help me that would be great. If you guys need more explaining please email or PM me. I will be glad to write a whole essay on what you guys need to know to help me out. Thank you

Go back to stock and start fresh.

That didn't work either. I tried going back to stock but it didn't do anything, I keep booting into 2.99 beta5. I was able to get into recovery mode but I think that when it load the "Google" boot up screen, that's when it start the deep freeze process. Do you get what I mean though? I can post a video to show you guys what I mean. So like if I wanted to flash another ROM I have to go into recovery, but before getting to recovery, you have to go through the "Google" loading screen correct? Then when I get into recovery to flash, the ROM is not there..

Which "ROM" is not there? Do you have any flashable zip of any ROM on your internal sdcard to flash?
I think you should go ahead and post a video so it will be much easier to understand what is going on exactly then hopefully we can help you here

You cant brick a nexus! Try making a jig with this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKRrTZayRxU Then get download odin and an img file of whatever rom you want and flash it through odin. Problem should be solved.

Based on the language used in the OP I think he used a toolkit to root/unlock his Nexus and that's why he knows nothing about his device and how to fix it.
OP- look up fastboot images nexus and follow what you read. Basicly you should download the fastboot images and flash them all in fastboot. Then start from scratch again

That's right and probably the cleanest way of going out of this mess. Here is a thread that can help you accomplish that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
Read the instructions carefully because this will delete all your data including the internal (and only) sdcard of your GNex, so consider the backup part of that thread very well.
Good Luck

I couldn't use the driver from the thread you sent, it says "access denied" and I tried to disable windows signature verification but that didn't work either. So I thought maybe I'll use the driver from Nexus toolkit. I manage to complete all the steps from the instruction to the core except for the driver but it still didn't work. It would not erase the 2.99 beta5 and so I cannot go back to stock. Perhaps I should try to use the driver from the thread but I just don't know how to get pass the signature verification when installing the driver. Assist me if you can please. Thank you

I really have not done anything to my GNex via Windows becuse I am using Ubuntu Linux so I have not experienced installing these drivers on Windows. I also have neither returned my phone to stock before nor used the Nexus toolkit. I am doing everything manually.
I think you are referring to the drivers in this page. If you are using Windows 8 then there are some steps mentioned on how to get pass the driver signature enforcement.
If you are on Windows 7, then look here.
Just to confirm something else because I did not read that you have done it, did you try wiping system, factory reset, cache and dalvik cache from the recovery then install any other flashable zip of a ROM on your sdcard (if you have) and still nothing is erased and you are stuck on the same ROM?

Yes, I have but that didn't seem to work either. I put a flashable ROM into the internal memory when it was rebooted, when I tried to go into recovery the file is not there anymore. Its because the phone erases everything that was placed into the internal during the Google reboot process. I even tried using the nexus toolkit to flash a stock ROM, the procedure went through successfully but it still loads 2.99 beta5.
I will try to post a video as soon as I buy a webcam.. But a webcam is cheaper than a nexus phone right now so I don't mind. lol

You may try to boot into recovery then use "adb push" to send the file to your sdcard from your computer. If the file is sent successfully, then you can find it in the recovery and install it thus escape the reboot problem.
Hope this works!

Was there any progress of pushing the file then it did not appear in your recovery or it did not show any progress at all of being pushed?
I have experienced this and used to push the file two times (one after another while still in recovery mode) in order to successfully find the file in recovery. Give it a try and good luck

Thank Goodness im not the only one who has this issue... Bugs the crap outta me lol..
To the OP:
Try this, 1: make sure your an admin on your PC. From the sounds of it you may not be if it said 'access denied'. 2: Plug your nexus in while in the 'device manager' section of windows. 3: Find the new device and delete it. Delete anything that says Android ADB or Android anything or galaxy Nexus or Galaxy phone. Just delete them. Windows will warn you but do it anyways... 4: reboot the pc. 5: Plug your nexus back in, it should either install the device or fail. At that point find and download the newest samsung naked drivers and use the option on windows to install driver from disk and navigate to your unzipped folder.
That is the sure fire way to get it working again. Sorry to say if you still have driver issues then your doing something wrong. Do alot of reading and the answer will show itself.

1. Can you boot your phone into fastboot mode?
2. If so, once in fastboot mode, what happens when you connect the phone to the computer?
It is very very difficult to brick a nexus, so don't worry... .

I think I bricked my New Nexus 7

I'm new to the forums and I've been searching and reading all over for help. This was my first time rooting. I was trying to flash a rom in TWRP and somehow erased everything, no OS or anything. Now when I boot up it only says google. It won't load past that. I can get into the fastboot screen but the adb options don't work. And now since trying two different tool kits to flash to stock image, I can't get on TWRP anymore. Any help would be great thanks. I'm not even sure what I did but I can try to add more information. Thanks

You can boot in fastboot and flash it back to stock.
I see Google hasn't posted the factory images out there yet, your tablet is fixable, but you need the image. Maybe someone else can chime in with a image I haven't found yet. BTW, you can fastboot flash the recovery if its a .IMG file to get that back.
Note: you'll need the android SDK because you'll need the fastboot drivers and the fastboot.exe program to flash back.

Can you boot into fastboot mode by holding all three buttons for 5 seconds with the device off? It doesn't need a os or recovery just as long as you didn't kill the bootloader. Once in fastboot just flash it back to stock.
Download your image here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Don't freak out yet, its hard to brick a nexus device
Edit, I just saw you said you can get fastboot. Use the link I posted to download your image, if you need the android SDK because you'll need the fastboot drivers and the fastboot.exe program to flash back.

Obviously ADB would not work in fastboot. Erasing your ROM and recovery is no where near being bricked. You get into bootloader by holding Power + Volume down. Google has not released the official image package yet so flash the stock images from these -

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2381582

I'll try this all out in the morning. It's getting late here. Thank you and I'll be back to give you all an update!

You could even skip flashing the stock recovery and reflash TWRP. Rename it "recovery.img" put it in platform-tools... Then:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
TWRP should be flashed. Install a stock deodex or odex ROM and wipe data before install. Should be good.
But, everyone else's solutions will also work too (ie you are NOT bricked )

I think I'm having some problems trying to download things in the correct folders, seeing as I don't understand most of the lingo. I used a all in one tool to unlock the bootloader and root but when I tried putting things in the folder it wouldn't load properly. I deleted everything off of my pc and I'm going to redownload everything and try again.
Tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2381582 early this morning and it wouldn't load properly. I ran it and it said ?????? fastboot and then said some files were missing. Let me get back at it though.

You're just gonna have to own up and install the SDK. It only takes a few commands once it's downloaded.

Installing the SDK isn't necessary.
All you need is fastboot.exe and the ADB files.
I really wish people would stop telling others to install the entire Android SDK, because it really is a waste of time.

+1 I didn't know somebody compiled that for the new N7. I was mostly trying to get this fellow to shy away from the toolkits - not that they're bad... But when they mess up, it's a headache to recover.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

When I post on here I think its better to assume I'm posting to a noob rather assuming they know something they don't and making their situation more stressful. The SDK is a blanket install and you know everything is there. For someone inexperienced its better than: get this driver, and this one, and these files...move them here..you get the idea.

The guide on that thread should work really well, but I will just point out that for me, ADB wasn't working (yet) while I was still trying to flash TWRP on it, so the 'ADB reboot bootloader' line in the "Recovery_Nexus7.bat" was pointless. In my case, I go to the bootloader/fastboot mode by holding the power button + volume down.
Once in fastboot/bootloader mode, ensure that fastboot can see your N7 2013 by typing 'fastboot devices'. If you see your device there, you are good to proceed with flashing all the files that are in that zip file. It even roots your device. Good luck and let me know if you need any further help.

Are you logging in from your administrator account and is it windows 8 by any chance ?
Well, Rule is log into from your administrator account and windows 8 will need manual drivers installation for your Nexus 7 (2013). Try downloading USB drivers from SDK.
I am also attaching fastboot drivers which I hope will work
Good luck

Ok I hope to be more specific now,, I rooted my kindle -- put on twrp and fff 1.4-- then began with creating a backup. My after my backup was created I took the initiative to install android 4.3 or (cm-10.2-20130817-2316-otter-sgt7.zip) renaming it to update.zip...Upon after that I was confused if a newer kernel was needed to run the rom so I tried to install kernel_otter-cm-10.2-20130825-1250-exp.zip along with it.. Thinking it wasn't an issue I ignored installing the kernel and tried installing rom. Then I realized nothing would install... Then I realized firefirefire didn't install and it had to be done separately in the utility .9.9 so I flashed it regardless of the state of my os. I got really tired and stupid and opened up my recovery and I believe I erased my partition.. I cant really remember exactly... Anyhow Im current stuck at cyanogen boot logo. I been trying many of the methods youtube and the utilities have to offer but What stops me being able to just restore my kindle is not having my data nor catche.

Hi,
Try this toolkit; toolkit will help you flash stock rom / unlock / boot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614827
Or else you can always try to flash stock images.

Download a ROM boot into recovery and adb push to /sdcard flash profit. Or you can also mount the SD card in twrp. You're really not in a sticky situation you should be able to fix this in little time.

Another easy way is if you have USB OTG cable(very cheap... Got mine for $4) you can throw a ROM&gapps zip onto flash drive and should be able to flash via recovery from that.
No need to freak out buddy, whether you wanna setup SDK on ya PC to easily use fastboot & adb to restore device or even push/sideload zips, or use toolkit, there is tons if options.
Did you wipe ALL /data im guessing? Instead of factory reset which leaves your /sdcard(aka /data/media) untouched? And also wiped /system?
I've been there. Haha many of us prolly have. You'll be up and running again in no time! Dont fret!

Why go thru that when you can just sideload right now?

i ran into this issue again as well. I have nandroids on my phone, but when I wiped data, the rom I was going to flash didn't get put on from my computer. I sideloaded through adb to /data/media/0 and it pushed fine, but still won't show up in my install section of TWRP, only the file manager in advanced. Anyone else have problems sideloading with TWRP?

I never even noticed that. But how does the sideload work? When I click on it, it asks if I want to wipe either or both dalvik and cache, and says swipe to start sideload. after you swipe you just use adb sideload filename.zip and that's it?

Yup. First start the sideload on your phone, then connect it to a computer with working adb (should be easy). After that, open a command prompt window and execute "adb sideload your-rom-name-and-position.zip". Your ROM should then be pushed to the root of storage and flashed.

Completely wiped my phone, can't get stock ROM unto it...

I wiped the internal storage on my phone by mistake and now my phone has no OS or ROM to flash it back on. I tried to sideload with TWRP but the feature wouldn't start. I flashed the stock recovery and tried to sideload it there but I get an "error: protocol fault (no status)"... I tried to mount storage on TWRP but that feature didn't seem to work on it either. It's a good thing that I still have my OnePlus One to use, but I would appreciate your help!!

I had the same issue the first time I tried to add side load the stock rom, I tried it again and it worked. my suggestion is to try the side load again. Make sure your using the full rom zip.

I tried like a thousand times on both stock and TWRP to no avail. When I reflashed TWRP and tried to sideload one last time it told me that I needed ADB version 1.0.32 which is what I should have because I installed the "15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3" from the stickied guide here on the OP3 forums... Anyway, I got access to the TWRP folder and the internal storage by just being in the TWRP recovery, not sure if it was always like that, but I just dragged and dropped the ROM and other flashables onto the phone... lol Maybe I was freaking out too much to notice, but why would anyone sideload anything if you could just drag and drop stuff while in TWRP and just flash? Maybe reflashing TWRP fixed something or I was using an older beta OP3 version before, I re-downloaded everything.

I screwed up when I tried to update to 3.2.0 OOS. I were rooted so the installtion failed and I restored a corrupt backup with TWRP that resulted in a stuck boot logo.
I did this too fix this. boot into fastboot (if you still can) then make sure its connection properly. "fastboot devices". Then in your ADB folder place a TWRP.img and type "fastboot boot twrp.img" wait like 10 seconds, it will seem like it doesn't work but if you are a functional TWRP img it should boot up just fine. Select allowed modifications and then you can also access storage. There is a post on the oneplus forums where you can download signed full zips of the ROMS. download any of them. I will past in the post if I can find it later. Not home atm. Just copy the .zip onto the phone and then do a factory reset and flash the full rom and then reboot should work just fine. You don't need too flash TWRP just boot it if you still wanna keep stock recovery.

I wiped the internal storage on my phone by mistake and now my phone has no OS or ROM to flash it back on. I tried to sideload with TWRP but the feature wouldn't start. I flashed the stock recovery and tried to sideload it there but I get an "error: protocol fault (no status)"... I tried to mount storage on TWRP but that feature didn't seem to work on it either. It's a good thing that I still have my OnePlus One to use, but I would appreciate your help!!

Bro don't worry.
All you gotta do is to download a stock image.
Boot into fastboot.
Then use a toolkit like this one.

Then use his toolkit to download and boot in twrp.
Now copy paste a full signed zip onto the phone by connecting it to your PC .

Do a system and cache clean.
Flash the zip and make it boot before rooting it.
Done..!!
