Hi all
Interesting issue that I've searched here and Google for and not getting far, my searching skills may not be the best though as I'm fairly new to this.
My Nexus 7 was working fine, put it on the side, came back and it's turned off. Thinking it's flat I charge it and try to boot it with no success. Pressing the power for a while does get it to turn on but it gets as far as the Google logo and stays there.
I've factory reset it in the recovery and nothing
I've tried to flash the stock image from Google but when unlocking the bootloader it just sticks on "yes" forever and nothing happens.
What can I do at this point?
Cheers

Have you heard of Wugfresh Tool kit ? (aka Nexus Tool Kit) It is in the development section or you can google it. It is quite famous.
It will do anything actually from drivers to repair a device stuck on google logo. Just make sure you select the correct option.
You will need unlocked bootloader to flash stock images. And to do either of those, you will need drivers!
Install drivers and use it to recover your device. If you still have trouble, quote me back and I will help you to my best of ability.
Look into the forum before posting your questions. There are so many similar problems and you can easily find a solution by reading their questions and their possible solution.
Good Luck!
I'm having issues with my nexus 7 (2013). It will not boot up,it's stuck on Google logo. I am able to put in fastboot mode. I'd like to do a hard reset/wipe but I cannot enter recovery mode; it just goes to the Google logo and doesn't show me the recovery menu. I thought I could try doing it through adb but bootloader is locked. Downloaded WugFresh toolkit but it requires correct build number, which I do not know. I tried different ones but everything fails. AND USB debugging is not enabled, but I cannot do it through my tablet because it won't pass bootloop. I haven't been able to enable it remotely. So, any help with getting this tablet up and awake?! It's not rooted BTW, its running stock 6.0 marshmallow

Interesting, and troubling for you, I'm sure.
-- What do you mean, in fastboot it doesn't show you the recovery menu? If you are into (more properly) bootloader mode, the Recovery option has to be there. Do you mean you just can't select it, or that it won't work when you do select it?
-- Using fastboot, you might be able to boot into custom recovery without flashing it. (e.g. "fastboot boot twrp.img", not "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img".
-- Have you tried unlocking the bootloader via fastboot? Is it possible OEM Unlock is already/still enabled somehow?
-- Also.... Wug's NRT doesn't need the correct verion/build. The last option in the drop-down menu on the NRT is this: << Android *.*.* - Any Build >>
HTH
-- When i go into bootloader/fastboot mode, the option is there for recovery mode along with 'start' and 'power off',etc.. However, when I select it,it just hangs on Google logo and never shows me the Android man and recovery options.
-- Sorry, not sure what you mean by this: "Using fastboot, you might be able to boot into custom recovery without flashing it. (e.g. "fastboot boot twrp.img", not "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"."
I may need some instructions on how to do this please.
-- I have tried unlocking bootloader via WugFresh and Nexus toolkit and via adb but it hangs on erasing user data and also hangs on 'unlock bootloader's screen (left it for over 12 hrs). I doubt anything is unlocked.
--Yes, I tried the "any build" option and nothing works.
Thank you
I'm open to any suggestions.

Ah, right. I didn't read closely, and didn't realize you might not have used fastboot tools... and please, I'm no expert, so if I'm saying somthing inaccurate, I very much hope someone will correct me.
I'm never sure how much a poster knows, so I'm not sure if you meant you don't know fastboot commands at all, or just the specific ones I mentioned .. fastboot commands are like ADB commands, but run in the bootloader environment. We know you have fastboot commands installed and fastboot drivers installed on your computer because you have adb installed - which includes fastboot, and you said WugFresh's tool was able to run, which means you also have the right fastboot drivers (the NRT uses the same fastboot commands).
fastboot can be used to flash/install custom recovery packages, among a whole lot of other things. So what I mentioned in that command was a possible way to maybe get into a custom recovery if you have to do things like wipes or whatever, even if you can't actually fully install the custom recovery. You might need to do this stuff, if you can't unlock your bootloader and flash the whole official Google Factory Image from their website (which is what I'd try - simple instructions are right there, too).
Flashing the full factory image will wipe your device, of course, but there are simple ways around that, which you can find on this very forum. Good luck.
Let us know how you get on.
<<< Any device that's bootable at all is recoverable...... usually... >>>
Hi there, I've been lurking for hours in the forums and I figured that I can't seem to find the solution to my problem
I have an OG Pixel XL, I opened chrome earlier to browse about a company, when I opened google chrome, the screen froze and there's some weird rectangle pixel all over the place. I long pressed the power button and now my phone is stuck on a boot loop. I've tried going to recovery mode but it just goes back to the boot loop. I've installed adb and fastboot to flash a factory image (I think) but it just says that OEM needs to be unlocked. I can't seem to find a way to unlock OEM and now I'm stuck with a phone, out of warranty, in a bootloop, forever.
Any help and ideas to fix my phone would be greatly appreciated

In the future, you should ask this in your device's forum - you asked this in the Pixel 2 XL forum - as solutions to problems may differ from device to device.
In any event if you cannot access the recovery via keypress or command, you're stuck. You'll have to pay for the privilege of having the device repaired. If you CAN get into the recovery, you can sideload a full OTA image, which supposedly bypasses the OEM lock on the bootloader, to restore the device.
Hello, does anybody know when a recovery for the moto G7 play XT1952-4 might be released? I am eager to root my new phone.
I am also looking for the recovery of Moto G7 Play, I unlocked my BootlLoader to make Root and I do not think any Recovery
You don't need TWRP to root the phone. As long as the bootloader is unlocked, you can root with Magisk. Select the Link To Installation Instructions and follow the Boot Image Patching section. It requires using ABD commands, and although it looks/seems complicated, it is actually very easy. Plus, you will have learned something as well as root your phone.
If the G7 Play is actually code-named "Channel", then this link will give you stock firmware for you to download and extract the stock boot image.
Magisk boot.img
Ok I got the retail Canada ROM. Now I am going to extract boot img and patch it with Magisk manager. Once patched I am going to flash it to my phone using abd fastboot? At this point it will be rooted or do I use SuperSU to root? Under software channel on my phone it says "Bell" but the build number and model number matched up. XT1952-4 PPY29. 105-57 so it should be good hopefully.
Thanks
Error: cannot open 'magisk_patched.img'
Must be wrong Rom. Everything worked fine until I had to flash it. I put patched IMG right in adb directory and opened a command window from there but when I tried to flash it I got the error cannot open file. Oh well I think I will wait for a recovery it's the easy way for me.
Thanks
Code named 'channel'
There are 2 more versions of it in the list you provided. Not sure what the abbreviations are before CA for Canada but I will try them too. If I get the same error when flashing these patched boot.imgs I will have to wait for a recovery. Hopefully it won't by be too much longer. I just hope there will be a recovery.
Thanks
Continued error when flashing patched files.
I have tried 3 boot images from 3 different retail Canada firmwares. All 3 patched alright by magisk manager but when I try to fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img I get the same error cannot open file. I must be doing something wrong. My phone's bootloader is unlocked so unless someone has a solution. I will definitely have to wait for a recovery. Hopefully soon!.
Thanks
Dumb question...when you are attempting to flash your patched boot image, is your phone in fastboot mode? Also, you may be able to extract your boot image via ADB. It's been a while since I've done it and am having trouble finding the proper commands, but you can try this:
adb pull /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot stockboot.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It may or may not work. I hope it does but apologize if it does not.
Furthermore, you will likely have to wait quite a while for a custom recovery (TWRP). The G7 play has A/B partitions, which makes ROM building and recoveries very difficult. There is no separate "recovery" partition with A/B...the recovery is combined within the boot image. FYI - I have a Xiaomi A2 Lite that has A/B partitions. We still don't have a 100% working TWRP after 9 months. Custom ROMs have just been coming out slowly. I was able to root with Magisk using ABD commands though.
This link might provide clearer steps for installing Magisk.
Best of luck!
Yes, it was in fastboot mode. I will keep trying with your new intructions. Thanks for your help.
My mistake
I did not even have adb fastboot installed I was opening a command window out of the folder that was left over from uninstallation. I am about to try it again. It should work now. Stay tuned.
So far
Okay, so I installed adb fastboot and flashed the patched boot file from the RETCA firmware. I got this message " failed (boot a)" . So I tried the flashing the 2nd patched boot file that was from I think BWACA firmware. With this flash I got " not signed or corrupt" then the phone failed to start with bootloader log to confirm.
So I took the original unpatched boot.img from RETCA and flashed it. This fixed the phone so it would start fine making me believe that it's the right boot image but maybe the other firmware boot.img would have fixed the failing to start issue as well. So I think I need to pull the boot.img from the phone itself like you suggested. I am going to read some more and continue. I will figure it out. Any suggestions would be of great value.
Thanks.
Getting Closer
I realized that the magisk zip file that magisk manager downloaded did not get unzipped so that it could patch the boot.img properly. Fixed that. Flashed the boot.img and it said "okay" but said "(bootloader) image signed with key bad key" so I think I will have to pull the boot.img from the phone itself. So I am about to read up on that then I should be able to flash successfully for root access.
Thanks

A few posts back you said you flashed the stock RETCA boot image. If that's the case, then if you successfully pull the boot image from the phone, you are simply pulling the RETCA boot image you already flashed. It seems that the RETCA boot image is the correct one for you phone. I would start completely from scratch with that. To verify which build number you have, go to Settings>About Phone or ( Settings > About Phone > Software channel) and scroll down to Build Number. Match it up to one from link with all the firmware images.
The only other thing I can say is that you should read and completely understand what to do prior to doing it. I am sorry you are having difficulties with this. It really should not be so hard. As I don't have the phone I cannot be of much more assistance. However, once you figure it out, perhaps you can write a quick guide to help others.
EDIT: You should be rooted. SEE POSTS 10-13. Did you check for root?
EDIT 2: I'm assuming that since you unlocked the bootloader, when you reboot the phone the screen goes black and says "Bad Key", correct? That is normal for Moto phones.
2nd, after you root, when you reboot the phone, the screen should go black and say "N/A". Again that is normal for Moto phones.
I understand what you are saying I would also expect the N/A on the black screen that's when I knew I successfully rooted my old phone. I must have the right boot image if flashing it fixed the startup failure. I am going to start all over again and see.
Have to give up.
Tried and tried it's just not going to work. I think it's the patching because the boot file starts out as 32mb and only 18mb after being patched. Flashing has no effect on my phone even though it says 'okay' when I flash. I never get the N/A on boot unless there is a startup failure. Oh well have to live with ads among other anoyyances. My Moto g4 play is rooted I can use than in case a solution comes up. Thanks for all your help.

DNS66 is your friend! I have used it on other unrooted phones. It was decent from what I remember. Good luck!
Sorry that root wasn't working.
EDIT - If you are up for a little more testing...I just found this. I don't remember if it's what I had to do for my Xiaomi or not, but it makes sense. (Further research - No I did not have to do this). Scroll down to method #2 and look for the part about A/B partitions:
fastboot flash boot_a patched_boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b patched_boot.img
Click to expand...

Edit #2 - I don't give up easily LOL
After any of your attempts to flash the patched_boot image, did you ever boot the phone and open the Magisk Manager app? Doing so should ask to install Magisk, if not you must tap on the "Install" button. Then choose "Install" > "Direct Install (Recommended)" to install Magisk on the phone, and reboot when finished.
Neither do I
I have been trying everything since we last talked. Just so you know the link labelled as "this" in your last response is not working. I always opened the magisk app after flashing to see if it was either installed or gave me the option to do a direct install unfortunately, it did not. I have magisk manager installed on my rooted Moto G4 plus and it gives me that option to do a direct install. Will definitely try your new info. Thanks so much for more help. I will let you know.
Still no luck
Without the link I got the jist of what you were saying by the quote boot_a boot_b I tried both consequtively and then tried it for ever possible retail Canada image still no luck. Thanks for your help. I don't know why it's so hard for this phone. I will keep researching.
I'm at about the same place where jwreidmoto is. I purchased my unlocked g7play from Best Buy. First I tried the files in the channel/RETUS folder, these all caused a bootloop. I then tried in the RETAIL folder... still no joy. None of the version numbers quite matched up, and none worked to restore the phone. I finally found a matching file in the AMZ folder, which I was able to use to get the phone to boot up again. So I used that boot.img file with magisk and when I flashed, it gave no errors, no indication anything failed. Unfortunately though, I do not have root access. I started over from scratch and did the process over with the AMZ boot img again, and again no errors, but no root. I've never rooted before, so I don't know if there's another part somewhere I missed, but I do feel like I was able to follow the directions on the g7 thread by mingkee, and performed the steps accurately. I supposed it's just the wrong boot img. The about phone says the software channel is US Retail, and the build number is PPY29.105-36. The RETUS folder only has PPY29.105-43 and RETAIL folder has five different zip files, but none were PPY29.105-36.
You are doing it right
You have not missed any steps. If the boot.img fixed the boot loop then it should be the right one. I had the same issue with a startup failure and fixed it with the RETCA boot.img so I am also using the right one also. I think it's an issue with the model of phone, this method just does not work. We might have to wait a while until someone comes up with a solutuon. I know it sucks.
Howdy all, hadn't done rooting/etc in a long time as my past several phones didn't have much support for them but got the LG G8 and was excited to possibly root it and also install a custom rom. Went with Arrow OS which seemed to run fine and I decided I wanted to get TWRP as a custom recovery instead of the one that comes with ARROW OS. I flashed it but now it get stuck on fastboot and constantly loops to it (and no longer shows the boot a/b.... which probably isn't a good sign). After leaving it alone for some time, I booted it up and now it gets beyond the the fastboot loop but I can either try to boot it up which only gets me the code red warning or go to download mode. I tried to use LG Bridge and download mode on my phone but the Bridge software doesn't detect the phone.
I realize some of this is probably because of my stupidity and I should've been more careful but anyone got any ideas on what could be done to get the phone back to a stable working state so that it can function again? I know there are some more "difficulties" because of the boot a/b partitions and having to handle that stuff properly. If it isn't possible, that sucks I guess but anyone who wants to chime in - thank you for your help!

Sounds like you might just need to reverse what you did to try to get twrp. If you have the boot partition for Arrow flash that back, if you don't have it should be pretty easy to get it from someone.
If that doesn't work can always use qfil and flash the necessary partitions to get LGUP to work, then flash or crossflash to a kdz and start again with stock.
You're in good company. I went down the same path and have become adept at repeatedly bricking and un-bricking my G8. (LM-G820QM5) I picked up 2 tidbits of info that have been helpful. The first is that my G8 ThinQ will not boot Android when the engineering abl_a.bin has been flashed on to it to enable fastboot. Sure it will fastboot, and go into EDL or download mode, but in order to boot the OS, I have to put the normal abl_a.bin and abl_b.bin back.
The second lesson I learned the hard way is that sometime LGUP fails to flash when the phone is in download mode. I was searching around XDA and came across a very helpful post from starlyn1232. They posted a command line utility that has been successful in un-bricking my G8 when LGUP failed.
I downloaded the appropriate kdz from lg-firmwares.com and the starlyn1232's utility from https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/lgup-flash-utility-based-on-lgup-1-16-cmd-and-lgup-1-17-lgup_common-dll.4112121/
Well thankfully, i still had the original files from the unlocking thread in this forum and I also apparently did make a backup of my files right before I installed TWRP 3.4 or whatever and was able to get my phone working again - which is awesome! Also, what's the best way to back up everything on the phone (or at least the essentials) in case of flashing situations like this? I in the past would just use TWRP to do a backup/restore but since I flashed ARROWOS and it has its own recovery and doesn't seem to have a backup option - asking if any one has a recommendation. Thanks!

I would highly recommend looking at bkerler edl utilities. You can easily find his git page which has the download option for an iso linux boot which has everything installed.
It's a bit involved / complicated figuring out the command line interface, but once done you can backup everything and it will create the xml files needed to reload it.
I would suggest this for everyone but especially for those with sprint or att devices, as there is no kdz available for them.
I've recovered from various issues too many times to count with backups I've made for v40, v35, and now G8 (2 of them).
cheers

So the rawprogram xml will be for ea lun, and it will vary by which rom you're trying to flash, it will also vary by segment starting positions for the partitions. IE, there is no generic version of it.
2nd, you don't need a patch xml, just click cancel or skip for that entry. Note; the rawprogram xml is usually generated when a backup of the binaries is made, and it will be for that specific backup.
Hello there sorry to pop in unannounced I would like to interject briefly and please pardon my ignorance I'm still a noob.
I have a similar issue, but I'm a little bit confused as to what I should do. In my Case i have a SOFT brick.
(G8 ThinQ VERIZON LM-G820UM (Model) ---- G820UM20j (Software)).
I unlocked the bootloader and rooted with magisk successfully, Still running STOCK OS
Then I Flashed TWRP.zip and some version of Magisk.zip with the magisk app, Then I Rebooted to Recovery.
Inside TWRP i Wiped, Format and then I flashed Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip
This process Finished without any errors, however, after I rebooted i now cannot go past the Verizon Logo and it's stuck there.
Fortunately, I have All the Original files backed up (abl_a.bin, abl_b.bin, boot_a.bin, boot_b.bin)
And TWRP also managed to create a Backup beforehand.
I can go easily into EDL mode and i also have the engineering abl_a file on hand.
i can also get to the built-in Stock factory reset / safe mode but I'm unsure if I should use it.
So my question is if i would be correct in loading ALL of the original Files using QFIL, or only the boot_a boot_b files ?
or if i should do something else like getting the firmware in my case?
thank you for your time in advance.

So I updated my phone to Android 13, after I updated my phone I needed to regain root perms, so I flashed a patched magisk boot.img file, it went wrong here.
so now(after) I am unable to start my pixel 6 pro, all I get is "Your device is corrupted it cannot be trusted and may not work properly", + the bootloader is unlocked message.
and whenever I start the phone it either shows a battery icon(as in it has no battery? idk it was on 20%) or the colorful "Google" logo, no it doesn't show the colored "G"/doesn't get to that point(as in it's stuck).
I cannot get the phone to show up in "adb devices" it has worked before.
I very much need help, I went throughout all of YouTube and Google(search) and found nothing.

You must have flashed the boot.img that someone else uploaded from their phone? I did the same yesterday with the same result.
Fix....Use Android flash tool to flash the Aug update;
*****MAKE SURE TO UNCHECK lock bootloader, wipe device, force flash partitions. after it is finished.... copy boot.img to your phone and patch it with magisk. Then copy the magisk patched boot.img back to your PC and then flash your patched boot.img to both slots using Platform Tools CMD Good Luck

Diff question:
I tried to(tmp) boot with the patched magisk boot.img but it doesn't seem to be willing to boot with it. how did you manage to get it to boot with the patched boot.img? is it any different than the normal android 12?
-- edit: I use my own patched files, that are not "made" by others. using the android 13 image file
I always download the full zip in order to get the boot.img for the zip, then I use Android Flash Tool to download and flash the full zip update. Let the phone reboot unrooted. If you have the magisk patched boot.img from your phone, copy it to your PC and use Platform tools to flash it to both slots using the CMD prompt.
Open a Command Prompt in the folder you copied the patched boot.img to.
Flash the boot.img (Magisk Patched) to both slots: fastboot flash boot <drag and drop boot.img> --slot all

Before you do any more modding, have you flashed the A13 bootloader to both slots so you don't get in trouble with the new ARB? If not, I suggest you do so before you do anything.
If you have, never mind, lol...
I've used the android flash tool, now shows that the phone is corrupt, Android Recovery -- cannot load Android system Your data may be corrupt. If you continue to get this message...
Try again or Factory data reset.

Yes I got in trouble with the ARB
I don't really understand on how this works, I just follow a YouTube tutorial. not that i'm new(to rooting, been doing this from March~) but that just I don't understand on how android works, especially if a13 is different than a12
The tutorial I've used :
Spoiler
I'll try to recover the phone will see how it'll go, and if i won't manage i'll reset the device, I backed up via Google one.. i'm less worried -- data reset. was unable to recover

Fixed it.
so a little back story, at a random point in my day the phone(p6p) said restart to apply update, and I was rooted at the time and thought it would failed, and I went for it. it did manage to install(2nd "July" august update). then I saw a vid about A13 and thought I might aswell try to install A13 on my phone, I opted in the beta and downloaded A13, took a little bit but I manage to install it aswell.
I think this was the problem. I don't know as to how, but maybe magisk or some module manage to make the device itself think it's not rooted.. albeit it shows that the bootloader is indeed unlocked.
Needless to say, I managed to fix the problem, gained root perms again. thanks for the help and your time! much appreciated

Opting into the Beta wasn't necessary before manually downloading Android 13 - if that's what you meant.
Now that you've opted into the Beta program, you should unopt out of it, otherwise you will continue to get beta versions of Android as opposed to stable.

I meant the System update downloading phase

So I updated my phone to Android 13, after I updated my phone I needed to regain root perms, so I flashed a patched magisk boot.img file, it went wrong here.
so now(after) I am unable to start my pixel 6 pro, all I get is "Your device is corrupted it cannot be trusted and may not work properly", + the bootloader is unlocked message.
and whenever I start the phone it either shows a battery icon(as in it has no battery? idk it was on 20%) or the colorful "Google" logo, no it doesn't show the colored "G"/doesn't get to that point(as in it's stuck).
I cannot get the phone to show up in "adb devices" it has worked before.
I very much need help, I went throughout all of YouTube and Google(search) and found nothing.
Any idea?
