I've got a Nexus 7 that's still stock. It's been in the drawer for a few years, and I pulled it out to make sure I had any important data copied off, in preparation to sell it. However, it is stuck on the Google boot logo. I've tried tapping it as suggested in several videos, but that didn't seem to do anything. I removed the back and re-seated the silver ribbon cable, which also didn't seem to do anything. I was able to enter recovery, and after wiping cache and rebooting, it did get past the google logo, but was stuck on the animated balls. I left it there overnight, but was still on that animation in the morning.
If possible, I'd really like to get it booted without doing a factory reset, just to make sure I don't have any photos or anything on there that hasn't been backed up. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
I should note, it was in a case that had a magnetic cover. I've read that over time, those could have caused this issue. I'm leaving it out of the case, in the hopes that maybe it'll clear itself up. I've also read it has something to do with the orientation sensor, which is why tapping it may help. This thing is otherwise in mint condition (and we still have the box), and it's shame it has this issue, as it still seems to fetch $40 or $50 on eBay.

If it is unlocked then simply use TWRP recovery to access and backup your files through MTP to a PC.
If it is locked then you may have to wait for the next version of Restock which will include an option to unlock without loss of data.

Hi!
First of all i got AOKP + Franco kernel for 2w without any problem and I didn't change any option since last week.
This morning i rebooted it, it switched off and it didn't start again.
I cannot switch one my nexus again since then. I have always a black screen, also if I try to enter in download mode or in the recovery.
I tried to connect to my computer and smt times my laptop see a omap4400 (i'm not sure about the name) but after few second it disappears.
Tomorrow I'm going to the service center... But I have a big doubt:
What the hell happened this morning?
Thanks
Remove the battery for 5 minutes and try again.
If that doesn't work,
Follow this guide:
1. Download the zip file from http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f634...eeeee-1465412/, created by Legija
2. Extract zip to whatever location you're comfortable with (I used Android directory)
3. Open up Device Manager (Hold down Windows Key, press R, the type in devmgmt.msc and press OK)
4. Go to actions menu, select Add Legacy Hardware
5. Choose install manually, then have disk. Browse to where you extracted the zip, select the 'inf' file in usb_drv_windows
6. Choose OMAP, you'll get a popup if on Win 7, continue anyway (driver not signed)
7. Once completed with driver, pull battery out of phone, then plug it into USB
8. Double click omap4460_tuna_hs_pro.bat to start the process
9. Once completed, unplug from USB, put battery back in, and power-up!
10. Extra step - depending on what's been done, it may 'brick' again - suggest to do a restore or a wipe reinstall afterwards to be certain (mine bricked again next reboot)

I'm having the exact same problem. I saw my phone at maybe 10% battery in the AM, said screw it and let it die, woke up this morning and plugged the phone in and nothing. No LED light, black screen, completely unresponsive. I've tried every trick in the book, and the only one that seemed to work marginally even was using a different battery, which got my phone to boot to the encryption screen, but then shut off again. It did that twice, and now both batteries are useless.
I used Legija's program to try and bring some life back to my gnex, even though it's not the international version, just in hopes of getting some of my data back (I have already started the replacement process with Verizon since the phone was insured), but I got no luck there either.
It's extremely disappointing and annoying to me that this phone survived all sorts of ROM installations (I was also using AOKP on 4.1 if someone wants to start making connections), reformatting, tweaking, almost every setting on that phone was modified by me.
Not only that but almost any software or hardware problem I did run into I could solve in maybe an hour, but I let my charge run out and the phone just up and bricks itself? Now, that's just bull****... I would be very curious as to an explanation as to WHY on earth this would happen. Very confusing.
Not to hijack the thread, but my interest here is not restoring the phone to working condition but just seeing if I can pull my data off of it. I wouldn't even be posting here had I been able to have an SD card with my gnex, which I figured was unnecessary at the time I bought it since I knew the space on their was enough for me already, and the added branding of "Nexus" brand which had me under the impression it was maybe stable enough by itself. Not a mistake I'll make again..
Is it at all possible to get the data off of my phone at this point? At least partially? I believe encryption makes it impossible but I'm rather stubborn. Any help would be greatly appreciated..

So just to be clear... You've been able to get it to boot all the way up to the encryption screen, right? If so you should be able to get into fastboot (Holding down BOTH volume rockers and the power key.) From there you could relock/unlock the bootloader to do a full factory wipe which might solve your boot issue.
As far as the data loss from the wipe, you could then try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994705

I was able to get it to the encryption screen with my old battery that had a little bit of charge left in it twice, but it shut itself down on me both times. So now both batteries are useless.. I took it to the Verizon store hoping they would maybe try one of their batteries, but they just called customer service and told me they're just going to replace it at this point.
I have a feeling the charging mechanism is somehow damaged, because when I did get it to the encryption screen I had it plugged into a wall outlet and it wasn't charging at all. So, I can't turn the phone on whatsoever anymore.. if I could turn it on I could solve this problem... but it simply refuses to boot. The closest I came to interfacing with it was the OMAP Flash script, which did work, but didn't fix the problem.
So maybe if I could get the phone working enough to use ADB with it I could get my data back, but not even that seems possible..

If the phone isn't charging then there's something wrong with the USB port. One way to test that would be to use a battery charger. Also, try a different cable. I've had issues with a few different cables that for whatever reason started to not fit properly in the phone.
If you're USB port has gone bad then you'll need to either A) Always use an external battery charger. B) Get a replacement. C) Fix it yourself (Good guide here: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repairi...+LTE)+Micro+USB+Charge+Port+&+Main+Mic/9641/1 )
So I've had my Tab 3 for a little over 6 months now and have had no issues what-so-ever 'til now. My problem is with the screen just suddenly becoming unresponsive after locking it after use. I swiped my finger across the screen to unlock and got right back into my tablet like normal, but then once I tried to do open up applications from the Home Screen nothing happened. I tabbed lightly and swiped repeatedly trying to get a response.... nothing.
My screen LCD screen is flawless and is original, it has never been tampered with. There are no cracks or scratches or anything it just suddenly stopped working. So I figure it's a software issue, no big deal, right? Wrong. I did a soft reset by holding down the power button, it reboots and comes back to the home screen. Nothing. I figured wth I have nothing important on here, let me do a hard reset. Boot into recovery mode wipe the cache and tablet performing a hard reset. Tablet then reboots to the default setup screen to choose language. Nothing. I can't choose anything. I don't know what's wrong. Lastly, the battery was semi-low around 20% or so before this all happened. So I let it fully charge again hoping that'd help, but nothing. I'm at a loss of what to do next.
NOTE: This is all original and is stock everything. I've never modded this tablet or rooted it. I don't understand how the digitizer would just give out for no reason, it hasn't been dropped or anything.
Any other troubleshooting I can do? I've thought about installing the USB drivers and putting it into download mode to flash a custom rom or even the original to see if it'll work, but I don't want to do that unless necessary. If it is the digitizer are these hard to replace and costly?

but you can try to flash into latest firmware by samsung and try again
Unfortunately I left the phone on in its waterproof/dustproof cover, inside my fully-packed bag with no breathing space and in the car with windows rolled up under the hot sun for several hours.
Once I retrieved my phone it was already boot-looping.
It was very hot. I opened it up to see if there was anything burnt inside (motherboard, camera, SIM, etc.) but didn't see anything out of the ordinary (I'm no expert either).
It gets very warm quickly when I charge it.
I tried to get into the boot recovery mode to see if I could fix the loop by deleting cache or formatting or whatever tips I came across. It would boot, show the Note 4 Samsung Logo with the blue-lettered "recovery boot" in the top left-hand corner, vibrate, then restart and rinse and repeat.
The only hope I have is that it can get into download mode and I have not rooted the phone yet (and I have tried unsuccessfully so far). Is there anything that can be done to fix this? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Last night I tried turning on my Pixel C only to see a screen saying enter android password ive never seen this screen before so i figured i would try my Google password and i got a second message saying "the password you entered is correct but unfortunately your hard drive is corrupted and you will have to factory reset your device" or something along those lines so i hit factory reset where the open android appears and it had text in the bottom saying something like erasing hard drive i left it like that since i had somewhere to go and when i came back the pixel c was completely dead so i connected it to the charger and tried turning it on and it would boot to the google logo then the four dots and just reboot all the time i was not able to even leave it turned off i did try factory resetting the pixel through android manager but still had the same problem. has anyone else experienced this problem? i have contacted google and they are sending me a replacement just wondering if anyone knows whats wrong with it and why it messed up like this
yes, i am aware of the screen and the factory reset erase sequence. but the reset sequence occured while full charge and plugged into a pc . if the battery on yours was near discharged during the erase sequence it might have completely discharged before completing the factory reset which usually results in somewhat unknown issue. best to plug it in to charger before erase sequence if this happens again. good to hear that another unit is on its way.

im guessing the battery was around 80% when it decided to mess up so i think it got stuck formatting the hard drive and just died from there

any guess why this happened to yours? im thinking it might have to do with the magnets inside the pixel C i did stick it on the fridge to see if it was pretty strong (dumb yeah i know) lol it did work fine while stuck to fridge but messed up a few hours after that
This just happened to me. Here is the sequence of events that led up to it.
1. Fully charged and unplugged it. ( I did pull the unit off the keyboard as it was propped up but this shouldn't affect the storage right? )
2. It did a random reboot after taking it off the charger.
3. It asked for my password in a "pre-boot" screen
4. The message I get is : "Decryption unsuccessful" "The password you entered is correct but unfortunately your data is corrupt.
"To resume using your tablet you need to perform a factory reset. When you set up your tablet after this reset you'll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to your google account."

yup, this has happened to mine several times but except for one time, i just pressed vol dn & power to get to the options screen and rebooted. so i did not have to reset but one time. but mine has not died yet. i also think the magnets might be causing this and some other issues
I've just had the same thing this morning and I'm in the process of a truly awful conversation with Google support during which I had to explain to them what "stuck in a bootloop" meant...
I've had this one since a week after launch, working fine - I assume there weren't any recent updates that changed any of the memory partitions?
You guys could always try to unlock your bootloader from fastboot and reflash the stock images.

God I hate dealing with non-technical customer service reps, the devs from Dolphin Browser didn't understand portrait vs landscape, I ended up stopping the conversation because I'd rather beat my head against the wall. Same thing goes for Wizards of the Coast and Magic 2015, I asked then why all my data on my tablet didn't sync to the cloud since it was using Google Play games so I could continue the game on my phone and they just kept on saying "It's not meant for phones so that's why it doesn't work" even though it actually worked perfectly on my phone, they also kept calling me by the wrong name, even after multiple corrections.

Okay, same boat here. Just received my Pixel C two days ago. Pretty neat to use, put always fully charged. Several unresponsive(freeze) occurs to me, especially when I tried Lens Blur feature in Google Camera. But overall I'm pretty satisifed with the experience and design.
Today I got onboard of a airplane. I guess it's after X ray security check machine... then I opened the tablet it prompted me with password. And the following with sort of "your drive is corrupt but we can restore it from Google backup" things. I clicked next (it's fully charged by now) and the looping restart begins. I can't even turn it off until I find the vol down + power trick to enter the recovery menu. But right now it's completely unusable. I think I'll request a order returning when I'm back...
I've just had the same experience on a third Pixel C, this time after about a week. I think this time I'm just going to demand a refund. They've failed to send me a single working device and don't seem to have any fix for this. I can't go through a continual process of RMA-ing and losing any data not yet backed up indefinitely.
What country are you guys from for those of you having issues? I'm in the USA and bought mine as soon as it launched and haven't had a single issue with it, meanwhile I see a bunch of people are having random QA issues which seems to be pretty odd.

I'm in the UK. I bought at launch so I'm well outside the 30-day window, but I've gone through three different units. On the plus side, they agreed to a refund with no hassle at all so I assume this isn't an isolated issue. Thanks to Amazon Prime I'm already setting up a Sony Xperia Z4 and, whilst I'd still prefer stock Android and the Pixel C 's aspect ratio, I'm actually pretty impressed with it so far...
Same thing here.

You know "boot loop" isn't a technical term right??
Hey guys, recently my phone updated to Android Nougat 7.0. This was a Google update, no root, no custom roms, nothing. Straight out of the box Nexus 5X. Everything worked fine, until the phone froze.
First, a little backstory. I was watching a Snapchat story and one of the Facebook Messenger chat heads was in the way, so I swiped the chat head away so I could watch the story. The phone froze, so I just figured that Snapchat and Facebook Messenger weren't going to play nice together. I held down the power button until the device turned off, then I tried to restart it. I got as far as the "Google Splash" screen for about 15 seconds or so and then the phone went to black. I've tried fastbooting into recovery mode, and the phone went black every time. I put it on my charger and it showed the image of a battery with a lightning bolt and then cut to black. Pushing the power button had no effect. The phone would no longer even attempt to boot. Occasionally, I can get the phone to fastboot, or try turning on, but then it just dies again. I'm assuming the is a soft brick?
Now for the good part. I called Google and am getting a warranty replacement, but due to poor judgement/paranoia, I haven't backed up any of my pictures to the cloud. I've tried connecting the phone to my computer, but my computer still can't read the device. I keep getting a "device descriptor request failed" error in my computer's device manager. Is there any way to get my pictures and other files off of this phone? I'd like to avoid flashing anything to the phone, because Google is holding a charge on my account for the replacement. If it fails warranty inspection or whatever it is they do, I'd rather not be out $500.
Thanks for any help!
Can you get into fast boot long enough to flash all partitions other then user data?
If you have not tried I would download latest factory image from google.
Edit flashall script by removing -w in there. This will skip the data partition and load all others.
It's worth a shot.
Side note: I personally love cloud backups. I can just log into any other phone now and all my data is back within in your. Photos, apps etc. It is pretty awesome not to have to worry.
If you are not comfortable with this method then you need to do manual backups often.
Update: If your bootloader is locked you are likely screwed from getting anything back. Very first thing I did to my phone was unlock bootloader even if you are not going to root. This does not void your warranty on a Nexus.

Adb pull those files. I know it'll take a while because of subdirectories, but it seems to be the easiest option if your computer recognizes the phone.

I haven't touched anything on the phone as far as software is concerned, I guess I should consider this a lesson learned then? The phone doesn't stay on for very long in fastboot. However, today I've been getting the red "low battery" LED notification. I'll charge it up and see what I can do, maybe that'll buy me enough time.
Admittedly, I don't know very much about flashing phones, rooting, unlocking, etc. I've loaded/installed a custom ROM onto my old Nexus 5 and reverted it back to standard Android, but that's about all I've done.

My computer does not recognize the phone. I keep getting a "device descriptor request failed" error. I don't mind how long it will take, I have a lot of vacation pictures and pictures of my new home on there that I'd rather not lose.
If you can't keep it on long enough then it's likely just a lesson learned. Maybe it's some kind of hardware failure. Try the charge. There is an LG recovery option still but that would wipe your data anyway so it's probably pointless.
I would really recommend just unlocking your bootloader with next phone. So you have some options if something like this happens. This wipes your data so best to do as first thing.
Cloud backup is also recommended. You can use other services if you don't want to trust google. Even apps like Mega can do auto backup of Camera folder. Im sure dropbox and others can do the same. I prefer Google Photos.

Ill have to toy with it and see what I can come up with. Maybe write Google a little note when I return it and see if they can do anything for me. I think it's something software related. It seems like others are having the same issues I'm having. The phone fails before fully booting up.
The phone's seen its fair share of dust, but I've kept pretty good care of it. Always in a decent case, screen protector, etc.
I'll be unlocking my bootloader as soon as I get my warranty replacement. As well as syncing what I can find on my computer. I'd rather not do this again.
