I was flashing CM11 on my nexus 7 2013. Upon rebooting, it froze at the boot up load screen so I went to force shut down my nexus by pressing the power button.
Now when I turn on my nexus 7, it will display this pixelised/snowy/static screen as shown in the picture. dropbox.com/s/kdw117hbgn4ztpw/IMG_20140217_041652.jpg
(sorry I cannot attach the photo in this post, please go to the link above)
I tried pressing power and up button, power and down button, all 3 buttons but none would boot me into the recovery mode. Is there anything I can do now? Any help is really appreciated. Thank you
Power and volume up would be the correct combo.
Did you try holding both till the splash screen shows and then just releasing power?
You are technically not hardbricked .it gives power to the device. Harbricked means no power at all.

I tried, it doesnt go into any spash screen. It just stays at the snowy screen.
When i press down power and down button, I actually get the print screen sound. So is there a possibility that the software is working but when i flashed I screwed up the hardware?
Sounds like you borked your bootloader. You should be able to use wugs toolkit to restore to factory stock

It doesnt work because I cannot see anything on my screen at all. I cant enable USB debugging and I also cannot boot it nto the bootloader mode
You don't need debugging for adb

Does it have to connect to pc

Volume Down + Power = Download Mode
Volume Up AND Down + Power = Bootloader
The only thing you need to fix is yourself.
I remember vol down and power was bootloader so i unlocked...
Anyway it works!! thanks

When I try to get into my boot loader manually this what I get. I usually you can scroll up or down to get to recovery. I have to use CWM app to get to my recovery. Any help would be great thanks.

looks like you are going into the download mode instead of the bootloader. for the bootloader, press down in between the volume up/down and the power button. it looks like you are pressing volume down and the power button.
Yeah that's what you get when you hold volume down and power, you need to hold both volume buttons and power on

I know it sounds stupid but I unrooted my nexus 7 flo about a month ago for kitkat but since today no kitkat was announced for the nexus 7 and some 4.4 build have started to show up I decided to root it back.
But I have a problem , holding power, volume up and volume down buttons doesn't make my device boot into recovery.
In the past I rooted and unrooted many times, I know how all that work but now I have a problem.
Any help? Thanks

Try quick boot app

Quick boot only work if you have root access as far as I know.

It is power and volume up to get in to recovery.
Power and volume down will get you to the bootloader.
This is a stock N7. Holding down the power and volume up/down buttons, no matter how long results in... nothing. Also tried it with power and volume down buttons only with the same result. There are no other apparent problems with this device. Bad hardware, or is there something else I should try?

Sometimes you need to quick tap the volume down it happened to me. Do you want to root it ?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Not yet. I was setting up for sideloading 4.4. I usually don't root until later in the device's life cycle. Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try.

Rootnoob 101's tip worked. The button action and response on the N7 is much different than an N4

My brothers S3 is soft bricked, it boots but will not go into recovery mode. It will go into download mode but before I am able to flash anything it shuts off. I made sure that the battery was fully charged. Any suggestions?

Whwn you go into download mode are you connected to ODIN? Does Odin at least see the device?
Odin recognizes it but before it can do anything the phone shuts off

Make sure it has a satisfying click when pressed. If yes than I'm wrong. If not than try pressing it a couple times or spraying compressed air at it.
