Nexus 7 stuck on GOOGLE booting screen - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey so yesterday I mucked around with the mounting/unmounting/formatting stuff in fastboot. Now it's not booting up, it's stuck at the GOOGLE logo. I left it on overnight, and it's still stuck there. I can still turn off the device and enter fastboot mode. Anyone know what's wrong?
Thanks

How do you want to know what's happening to your device if don't tell us which commands you have done exactly with fastboot and why ?

Sorry
I went to the fastboot menu and unmounted everything, and formatted everything. Then I deleted all user data and the cache partition. I'm running xenon HD rom.
Thanks

You were running xenon rom before you formatted everything! Now if you want to stay with xenon you have to push the rom in your device using adb and install it with recovery.

I could care less about the rom. I just want to turn on the device...
It could be stock, I'll just root it again.
I'm kind of a beginner with this, how exactly do I push the rom
Anyways, thanks

I would say to get Wug's tool kit and use that to unbrick/flash back to stock. To get your computer to recognize the tablet you likely need to install the proper drivers, which are included with the toolkit and instructions on installing them.

The problem is, I don't have USB debugging on, so it's impossible to install the drivers.

Go in bootloader/fastboot mode and then type "fastboot devices" to see if your device is recognized

Did you reflash the ROM and gapps after doing the wipes? Otherwise, try: factory reset, format system, flash ROM, flash gapps, reboot.

Help me please

So I've been messing around with android phones for a while now and I'm stuck. I was on the oxygen 2.1.6 Rom then decided to make a back up. However instead of going into CWR it just went into fast boot. When I go into recovery it just says fast boot mode no reboot or recovery img. I tried to odin back to stock like I usually do but adb wont recognize my device like it usually does. Please don't tell me I'm bricked and that I messed up bad. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I tried reinstalling drivers etc etc. Somebody help me lol

It sounds like you flashed a bad recovery. Download a new recovery , boot into fastboot, and
Code:
fastboot flash recovery yourrecoveryfile.img
adb wont recognize my device so how do I flash a new recovery

Adb only works when the phone is booted normally, provided usb debugging is on.
Use fastboot. If you want to make sure it's working, boot into fastboot mode and
Code:
fastboot devices
If it's working, you will see your serial number.
If the other options can't help you get your problem solved try Odin.
www.samfirmware.com
get the right files for your device and Odin program itself. There are tutorials on here how to use it.
sorry I was being an idiot. I tried fastboot and it showed nothing connected. When I flashed a recovery it just hung waiting for device. I have all the drivers loaded on the computer but my device is still unknown and wont be recognized. I have all the odin files and I have used odin before. This sucks
btw appreciate the help guys

Try installing pdanet, that will install all the drivers you need for fastboot and Odin.

my one click works on both versions, as all it does it just gets you root. if you want cwm then use rom manager afterwards.
but for his problem no it relies on adb and fastboot

Maybe not, but it does include some handy files. ;-)
Download and unzip Shabby's OneClickRoot
Install pdanet. (See the readme for which one.)
Reboot your computer.
Then try using his version of fastboot.
I'm assuming you are in fastboot mode (it will say so) and that you're using the usb cable that came with the phone.

[Q] HELP!! I wiped my whole N7 in recovery.

Hi all!!
I have a huge problem i think.
Yesterday is was rooting my device, and i was about to start flashing a custom rom.
What happened is that in the proces of wiping dalvik cache etc. I by accident wiped the whole system!
So now if i want to reboot, recovery gives the error that there is no OS is installed. If i reboot my nexus 7 keeps hanging in the startup screen wich only displays Google...
It still can reboot in recovery or bootloader, but i cant figure out how to recover. I tried with 2 toolkits, but no succes! I made a nandroid backup but this doesnt work either.
Also i tried several solutions but none of them helped.
Does someone know how i can get my N7 to work again?? :crying:
Wugfresh's toolkit allows you to flash the stock image from the bootloader. Just make sure you check the box that states you cantvpower the device up.
Mskips toolkit, chose the option to flash Google image, it will download, and flash for you, if not your doing it wrong, push comes to shove your going o have to download a custom ROM and use adb to to push it on to your nexus 7 then fire up cwm and lash the rom, your nandroid will be gone unless you took it off/copied to a PC before you messed up.

I tried all those things named above with both toolkits..
When i try to flash to stock it keeps hanging at some point, or i get errors. What am i doing wrong?
I will try again what jordaanooo mentioned.. hope this time it will work.
If it doesn't work, does it help to post some screenshots with the error i get, or where it gets stuck??
Yeah, try it, make sure you state you cant boot it, and tell us what parts it stops/fails at
SMH dont use toolkits -_- so you're saying you "could" get into recovery? Why didnt you just adb push a rom
Code:
adb push name-of-rom.zip /data/media
Then flash that rom?

pretty simple. if you know how to use adb then you just need to just a ROM to apply. wether it be the stock or a custom. once you know what ROM, the easiest thing is to paste it into your adb folder (usually platform-tools) and just push it onto your sd card

In Recovery, wiped probably too much - no ROM

Like the title says.
I'm in recovery, I wiped it all (unfortunately even the ROM as zip I put on it) and now I don't have no ROM on it and no zip to flash a ROM.
Thought this was no problem, knowing from smartphone recoveries to mount sdcard and copying the file on it. But Nexus 7, well, has no sdcard.
What can I do?
As it is now, I don't have nothing on it and rebooting it wouldn't lead to anything useful.
I need help.
What can I do?
Thanks in advance.

If you have Android SDK installed, you can use adb push to push the zip file to your internal storage. Put the ROM zip file in your Android SDK - Platform Tools folder on your computer, reboot the N7 into Recovery (connected to computer of course!), open Command Prompt window and change directories to where ever you keep your Android SDK (for me, it's: cd sdk/platform-tools). Then type:
Code:
adb push <name of ROM zip file> /sdcard
Wait, and after about 20 - 60 seconds it'll complete, then you can flash the ROM. It'll be on the root of your internal sdcard (/sdcard).
Sounds difficult for a bloody rookie like me - is there really no easier way? Like transfering via recovery by just telling recovery to mound internal-sd so that it'll pop up on my pc? (know that from CWM and 4Ext on my smartphone)
Or could you explain the steps so that even the bloodiest rookie of them all could understand it properly :-/
aaaw **** -.-
by the way, device is still in recovery

TWRP as well. Just unlocked, rooted and flashed recovery and now I wanted to have a custom rom.
I tried to mount data and what else there was in "advanced" - my PC doesn't show me anything
Edit: not in advanced, it's the point "mount"
Restock and reroot.You can use Wugfresh toolkit for this. You just install the toolkit and if you can boot in bootloader mode you're saved. That's what I did and it solved my problem.

How'd you root/unlock, toolkit of some type?
Using the adb command mentioned is the only way that I know of to push a file to your N7. It's not as difficult to do as it sounds.

Yeah that would work, as long as you don't re-lock via fastboot. That's what probably wiped out your sdcard, was the fastboot unlock of your device, as it wipes your sdcard.

I desperately hope to have the same luck...will the bootloader still be unlocked after that procedure? I understand that root definetely is gone, but that shouldn't be a problem at all.

It will remain unlocked until/unless you run the fastboot command: fastboot oem lock
If you don't run this, it will remain unlocked.
Whoaaaa I could scream!
Now that I downloaded the right one and try to flash it through the toolkit, it tells me, that there's no adb to be found. He doesn't recognize the device in bootloader.
What should I do?
OH THANK GOD! Tried it via recovery, he found it and restarted into bootloader
First of all: thank you so much guys - I was really shocked, but it all worked out
One more question before I make the same mistake again. Where should I put the zip which I wanna flash? When I have it connected to the pc, it shows me a portable device where the folders of the internal storage are (like Alarms, Android, DCIM, Download etc pp) - that's where I put the ZIP before.
Shall I keep it there?
And another question: what should I wipe in order to get it done properly?
Edit: Figured it out - got me CWM, much more familiar with that one
but thanks again for all your help guys

[SOLVED] Unbrick Nexus 7?

Hey everybody,
Yesterday I tried flashing a theme to SmoothRom and got caught in a bootloop. In a panic, I accidentally factory wiped my sd card and lost my roms so now I can't flash another rom to my Nexus 7. I've tried adb pushing a rom to the sd card, but my Nexus 7 is not being recognized in adb devices. I've tried everything to my knowledge but I still cannot get anything to work, even tried working on Mac and PC computers and my Nexus won't show up in adb.
I'm ready to count my losses as it is my fault, but I figured you guys could help out. I love my Nexus so if you guys know anything I could do I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

You can go two ways here, either you can do as the above user posted and flash a stock image via fastboot or if you have a otg cable and a pendrive/removable media you can use that to install the rom

Ok guys, I spent all last night trying to get this to work, and I'm still having problems. I tried adding the line to the driver inf file but nothing worked. I tried adding the PDANet drivers, but the Nexus of course is not showing up. I know that my Nexus is not doomed it's just something I'm not doing right, not gonna give up I'll keep at it. Thanks for the help guys, if anything have any suggestions let me know!
Sounds like you should find out if CWM touch can mount a USB flash thumbdrive via an OTG cable. You can avoid driver problems that way (as long as it works). The filesystem formatting of the USB drive with the highest probability of success will be a FAT format.
good luck

There's nothing wrong with it... you just need to flash stock with fastboot or adb sideload it.

Yeah I can still get into fastboot & recovery (Clockwork mod touch). I've tried mounting the sd card in recovery but nothing happens. Tried doing adb to sideload a rom but my device is showing up.

Wipe data again, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, and re-flash SmoothROM.
Good luck, a bootloop is not a simple thing...

If you have your problem solved, please put [SOLVED] at the start of the title of the thread, then the people will not post a solution.
Thanks.
Somehow I have screwed my nexus 7(16gb wifi only) up so bad that I cannot get back into fastboot or recovery mode. Any attempt at bootup is met with a blank screen. How do you suggest I proceed?

If fastboot is really dead, then you're out of luck. Have you tried running fastboot commands, however, after trying to boot into fastboot? Sometimes the underlying software will run correctly, even if the screen is nonresponsive.

So I assume this means my only hope is to replace the motherboard which houses the memory. Is that a good assumption?
HELP!
so i had the same thing happen to me. I had access to recovery still but instead of re flashing i tried to use nexus root toolkit to factory reset. somehow fastboot failed halfway through and now recovery is gone with everything else. The only thing i can get into is the bootloader mode....
My device is still listed as a fastboot device, but when i try to re-run the flash to stock i get this: (see attached picture)
Please help, I honestly have been working on this for days, but i simply do not know enough to fix it!
I will post a new topic if no one responds. Thanks

I'm having a similar problem. Present state of the device is that my N7 boots into the bootloader and then to the custom recovery. I've accidently erased the OS.
Can you tell me how you managed to unbrick via OTG. Should I move the factory image to usb flash drive and then mount it via OTG and then try to flash it via recovery???
Please help:crying:
