bricken N7, no OS installed - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i was stuck in a bootloop after flashing a ROM, and didnt have any backups or other ROMs on the devices storage, so i was attempting to push files to it via ADB, but it wouldnt connect. i went back into the custom recovery image, and accidentally wiped the whole thing, so now i have no OS installed, and not even the seeminly 'faulty' ROM in /sdcard either. i can still get into the bootloader and the custom recovery, but cant seem to get it to connect to ADB. any ideas what i can do?

If you could boot into fastmode, then just flash stock rom.

how do i boot into fastmode? all that i can access is the bootloader, and TWRP. when on the bootloader screen it sort of connects to my PC. i can go into device manager, and will see 'android bootloader interface' in there, and i have updated the drivers as per the instructions in the nexus root toolkit, but it wont seem to talk to ADB for some reason.
edit: ok, this is really odd. when i use the NRT to try pushing a zip file, if i start the it trying to push the file, then open a command line and use 'adb usb' NRT will say that it has connected to the device, and goes through its various steps, and ends up booting the device into recovery, but the actual zip it was supossed to have pushed isnt there...
it made it enter twrp, so it must be communicating in some way, but when i type 'adb devices' it doesnt show up...

Stop using the toolkit and read the sticky that's not too far above your post... the one titled, "[GUIDE] Flashing a Factory Image with fastboot / return to stock." Coincidentally, it happens to be exactly what you need.

You don't need ADB if you are in the bootloader- you use fastboot.

I'm bricked .. Getting worries. (Yes I've read the forums ...)

Attempted to flash Liquid Jelly Bean, then got stuck on the animation boot screen. I've tried Root tool kit for unbricking and setting it back to stock. Tell me it's successful but stays stuck on the animation screen.
I've also tried to unbrick manually however even though I have the correct files placed in my Platform Tools folder of Android SDK ... I constantly get stuck at the CMD prompt steps. Any time I type in "ADB reboot loader" or ..."fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-3.34.img" or anything similar I get the error message in CMD saying "___ Is not recognized as an internal or external command"
I'm not sure what to do. The bootloader does say that my device is locked, I just can't get passed the splash screen!

Here's an update:
I think I've made it worse ...
Nothing will boot now and it's currently locked. Any time I hit "Start" it says "Booting Failed"
My CMD now says; Error: Cannot Load "Bootloader Grouper-3.34.img"
I'm seriously lost. I've been working on this for about 6 hours now ....

No I can't get into the recovery at all. When I turn on the device I don't even need to use the rocker keys to get into bootloader either. Actually my bootloader is a bit different now too. I have the 'Google' logo and at the top the regular options for Start, Recovery, Power Off, etc.
In simple terms: I can't even get to the animated splash screen anymore
Open the command prompt IN the directly WITH fastboot
Fastboot oem unlock
Then wipe / flash factory images. Fastboot -w update image whatever the image name is.
Then uninstall / delete that stupid toolkit and never use them stupid craps again.
Are you still able to communicate with the device via fastboot? If you issue the command 'fastboot devices' does it return a serial number?
Edit: I'm going to bed so if you are able to use fastboot, download the factory image pack from https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/nakasi-jro03d-factory-e102ba72.tgz
Extract the archive. Inside are there will be an install script, manually issue the commands contained in the script in fastboot. The only thing you need to add is the location of the .img and .zip files from the archive you extracted e.g. 'fastboot flash recovery c:/Users/name/desktop/recovery.IMG'
There is no reason this will not get you up and running again.

Thanks for your response.
I've followed the instructions in the file. From previous research, I've had these files. My device does communicate with Fastboot. When I give the command for Devices it gives me my serial. Also, when I ask it to reboot-bootloader in CMD it does.
My issue is when I get to "Fastboot flash bootloader-grouper-3.34.img". CMD states "Error: Cannot load bootloader-grouper-3.34.img"
I've followed the commands previous to that. (Erase boot, cache, recovery, system, userdata)

Yes my device is unlocked again, but I still can't get into recovery mode. It just tells me "Recovery Failed" in small text in the upper left hand corner of my N7.
UPDATE:
After unlocking the device again. I used the Nexus Root Toolkit to restore to factory settings and it worked
The Problem: My device was no responding correctly to the toolkit when locked.
Cheers for the help. I'll attempt to root again, hopefully no problems this time If there are I'll be sure to post again!

So you erased the recovery then wonder why you could not boot into recovery....
You flashed or tried to flash the bootloader. You already had the same bootloader installed and there was no need to do so to try and fix your issue.
You still don't know what you're doing and are back using the tool that lead you to this issues. A toolkit. Learn what you're doing and you wont face this type of silly issue again.

So I messed up my Nexus somehow. I was trying to install MIUI coming from Carbon ROM but something went wrong as it got stuck on the miui logo. So I rebooted to TWRP and restored my backup. So then I tried to install PA and then it just got stuck on the google logo. So i restored my backup again and tried again to no avail. Then after that I couldn't restore my backup ( I keep getting FAILED as soon as the data restore starts). I can boot to Recovery but I dunno what to do. I tried sideloading but that's not working. I tried the toolkit but everytime it tries to download the factory image it says 404. The phone charges and whatnot but I don't know what to do. I only have the PA rom on my phone and reinstalling it doesn't do anything. The only weird thing is that when I try to install the PA gapps I get a FAILED message. Any help would be appreciated

Have you tried to install another rom on your nexus?
you can put it on with adb push command from recovery though a pc, and then wipe everything and try to install it.
Or you can download stock 4.2.2 rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147281
Here you can find your factory image directly from google: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occamjdq39

you must enter into recovery, connect your phone to your pc with usb cable and then you should be able to see your device,
try
Code:
adb devices
on CMD and it can see your phone type
Code:
adb push **your-rom-from-computer** /sdcard/
then just install it from the recovery
When you say recovery do you mean the main menu? I'm using TWRP and when I'm on the main menu my PC doesnt read the device

Ok, wait. I need some clarification. I'm going to try to be as simple as possible, to make sure we are on the same page. When you say your PC doesn't read the device, do you mean through adb or on Windows Explorer?
If you mean through Windows Explorer, then that is not where you need to be. You must get adb working as a bridge to your device. Use this sticky guide to get it set up. I would recommend reading that guide top to bottom anyway, it's extremely informative and new-user friendly. Anyway, the info you need is in the 'Setting up ADB for our device:' section.
If you have adb installed, you need to check to see if it recognizes your device. Do this by opening up cmd and navigating to the folder that adb.exe is located. After that, use 'adb devices' to see if adb recognizes your device. If so, move to the next paragraph. If not, your drivers aren't set up properly for recovery mode. Go into Device Manager on your computer and find your device (under something like 'Other devices', or 'Android device'). If you find it, then get these drivers and install them for the device. Do this by right-clicking, and selecting 'Update Driver Software...', 'Browse my computer for driver software', and browse to that folder. I may have missed a few steps on installing the drivers, it's been a while. If so, just search on how to do it, or post back here. I'm sure I can walk through it and get a more precise guide.
Assuming you have adb installed and it recognizes your device, you need to open up cmd and navigate to the folder that adb.exe is located. Then, use the adb push command as outlined above.

Bootloop on brand new 4.2.2

I've encountered an unpleasantly unique problem (as far as the internet is concerned) with my Nexus 7.
It started when I wanted to upgrade my Nexus from 4.2.1 to 4.2.2. For whatever reason, the upgrade wouldn't install, gave me an error a quarter of the way through and booted me back into 4.2.1 with no repercussions.
Using WugFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit, I managed to get 4.2.2 onto there by flashing it over everything. It seemed fine, but went into a bootloop on the Google splash screen before it could start up and go through the first time setup.
I have tried everything. I tried flashing again with NRT, and got the image attatched, a hither-to unseen error that could not be fixed with a pc reboot or reinstall of NRT. I tried using the old Nexus Toolkit to boot into CWM recovery, but since USB debugging isn't (and can't be) turned on, that could do nothing. I've tried using the SDK command line to unlock it and flash it, but the device can't be found because it hasn't been booted up for that first time startup configuration. I've tried uninstalling all the drivers and trying all of that again, with nothing.
What's left is a nexus 7 with a brand new 4.2.2 that can't boot, no USB debugging, that is locked and unrooted. I can get into the bootloader, but there's no recovery installed.
I'm sorry if this has happened before. I'm sorry if this isn't new. But good christ almighty I just want my tablet to work.
tl:dr help me gods of the Android

As long as you can get into fastboot, you should be able to use fastboot commands, sounds like you have a driver problem. Did you uninstall all the drivers and install the pdanet drivers? If the pdanet drivers don't work try naked drivers. It doesn't matter if debugging is enabled or not or if your device is unlocked and unrooted, you should still be able to do everything via fastboot commands. I recommend wiping everything via fastboot commands and than flashing the stock image. I recommend avoiding rootkits they are more trouble than they're worth, fast boot is a lot easier, faster and safer. You might want to try a different computer if nothing else works. You might have a defective bootloader though. Make sure you check the device manager on your computer to see if there are any errors with the drivers, it should show a yellow triangle if the driver is not working, if that's the case click on update driver and navigate to the SDK drivers.

I was surprised when it did. I had done a full driver reinstall to prestige777's advice, and fastboot started working again. Ran into an error when trying to flash 4.2.2 and bootloader version 4.18 with mismatched signatures, but tried it on another computer (thank you prestige777 again) and it's booting!
Thank you both so much!

UPDATE: booting failed already gone by flashing cyanogen rom
the problem now is stuck in booting.see the attach picture
what is the meaning of
archive does not contain boot.sig
archive does not contain recovery.sig
archive does not contain system.sig
Got the same problem...I used RTK to flash 4.4 and ended up with a soft bricked N7.
Well initially I haven't been able to update any newer versions of CM. I was stuck on 10.2 nightly. I got a notification that there's an update so I downloaded it and tried installing. I get stuck when my N7 will go into recovery, I'll always get the droid with the red exclamation point and I have to stop the update. But I will always be able to do a system reboot and use the N7. After flashing using the RTK, all I can do is boot into the Bootloader mode. Choice at that point it Recovery, Reboot Recovert, Reboot Bootloader and Power Off. If I choose Recovery nothing happens. So the real choice is only to power off or reboot the bootloader.
I tried using fast boot but the guide I got was asking me to put the tablet in debugging mode (which I can't really do). And I get an error when doing the steps in CMD. I think I wasn't able to properly load the drivers because I am not seeing my device listed with serial number when I run >dab devices.
Kindda stuck and waiting where this thread will lead to as well so I can fix my N7.
Also, when I get the factory image (JWR66V) and run 7-zip on it, I don't see these files: bootloader-grouper-4.23.img, image-nakasi-jwr66y.zip, flash-all.sh, flash-base.sh. I only see 1 file.
As mentioned in about 5 billion threads, USB debugging has nothing to do outside of a booted OS.
Fix your drivers.
Unzip the factory image archive.

^Fixed my drivers (via SDK). PC recognised the device via fast boot devices. Ran a set of commands fast boot erase boot, cache, recovery, system, and user data. Flashed boot loader and reboot boot loader. Flashed 4.3 factory image (extracted via 7zip). Flashing/Update FAILED (I think the error was 'too mani links') and it went back to a blinking cursor.
@niceguy01 - just wait for CMD to process the entire thing. I was worried as well when I saw the system does not contain boot.sig etc error. Waited for it and started getting some scripts after. Wasn't able to complete the flash though but little steps getting there.

Phones in a bit of a state

Hey guys,
Yesterday I tried, after a few months of not modding my phone, to update my recovery as i was running a very old version of TWRP. Long story short I did something wrong somewhere and my phone has ended up in a bit of a weird state.
At the moment the OS is BlissRom, however it fails to boot. The loading screen runs very slowly and never actually boots the OS. The current recovery is the stock recovery.
The thing that is giving me an issue is the fact that somehow the bootloader has locked, so I am unable to flash a new OS onto my phone. I'm not able to flash anything onto my phone as it throws an error telling me the phone is locked.
Overall I aren't able to boot into the OS, however I have access to the stock recovery and fastboot. Unfortunately it looks as though the bootloader has locked some how.
Any ideas how I can fix this, or have I completely messed my phone up?
Thanks in advance.
Hi
U said u were running twrp before which means u have unlocked bootloader and flash roms already.
How did u end up with stock recovery?
Also is it phone being detected bycur PC?
Sent from my ONE A2005 using Tapatalk
I believe it was a result of running the QualComm restoration tool. I ran this and it didn't look as though it did anything however after i rebooted into recovery I found it was stock.
I'm not sure if using this tool also re locked the bootloader however as it appears to be locked and I cant flash anything in fastboot mode.

Indeed I have, I get an error saying "phone is locked".
I think the resolution will be running the restoration tool fully but i cant seem to get it to do anything. It just sits there with no progress bars appearing.
Have you ever had any experience with this tool?
No I never used recovery tools.
Can u at any point let's say u boot into recovery and connect the device to PC, will it detected the internal storage?
Sent from my ONE A2005 using Tapatalk
Unfortunately not, if I boot the OS it gets stuck at the loading animation, it isn't a bootloop oddly enough.
Booting in recovery the PC doesn't detect the internal storage, however if I choose "Update from USB" I can see that ADB detects my phone in sideload mode.
Much like in fastboot mode I can see my PC detects my phone in fastboot mode.
I do have some OS zips on the internal storage which I have tried flashing in stock recovery, however these always result in "Install failed" errors.
Dude i think you have to use recovery tool now
Here is the link first read carefully https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...ck-guide-for-a-hard-bricked-oneplus-2.347607/
Thanks for the link buddy.
I've gone through this thread, I think the issue preventing this from working for me is the fact that although I have installed the relevant drivers, when I plug my phone into my PC the drivers assigned to it are "Android Bootloader Interface". When I try to target another driver, using the Update driver functionality it just refuses to change, saying the driver already assigned is the newer one.
Any ideas how I can get around this? I know ideally it should appear as Qualcomm 9008. I've tried all the methods in the "How to Make the device show as Qualcomm 9008" section without any success.

-Connect the Oneplus2 to the PC with USB cable and open a command prompt or terminal on your PC. To do this open the ADB folder press shift + right click and click on open command here.
-Reboot to recovery and select install from usb.
-Flash the OxygenOS on OnePlus 2 by typing:
adb sideload update.zip
-Now the update will start and this will take some time.
Hope it helped[emoji106]

Hey dude, thanks for the help! So I went through these steps and it actually appeared to sideload and update properly.
However now it looks as though my phone is stuck at the one+ logo when I go to boot the OS.
