Hold power+volume buttons until the phone shuts down. Then, release the buttons, and immediately press them all again. You will be booted in bootloader. Select recovery, and restore your backup, if you did one, or flash another ROM.

You then go to "install zip from sd-card" and install the rom.

[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

I'm trying to flash to a stock rom at the moment with the wugfresh toolkit. it seems the process is stuck at the point where it is "sending 'system' to the device. it's "sending 'system'" for more than an hour now... is that ok?? or is there something going wrong?
the picture show's where it gets stucked

Fastboot flash all nakasijroo3d.IMG w/e its called
Do you have cwm or twrp installed? If so you can mount the 7 like a mass storage device to your computer. This will give you access to the SD card where you can transfer a ROM from your computer to your tablet....I'm not sued where the setting is.....just go into your recovery and dig around....I think its under advanced...

Nexus 7 stuck on GOOGLE booting screen

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.

so i try to wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, and format system
when i do reboot, it stuck on google logo

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

[Q] Dead in the water

OK, so I'm not a noob, but I am, apparently a moron. I was trying to flash a ROM and accidentally wiped my entire device. I can't get my PC (Windows 8) to recognize my phone. I have tried installing the drivers multiple times. not sure where to go from here. I've always worked with Samsung so I am a little lost in the LG world. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!!!

I have TWRP 2.6.3.2 installed and I can get to it, but I have no way to get a ROM onto the phone to flash and no backups. If I could get my phone to be recognized by the PC, I have my TWRP backups on my laptop. Also, yes, I can get to download mode as well, but it is stuck at the window saying not to unplug the cable and it is updating but it never does anything.
If you can get into twrp you can adb sideload a rom or push your backup to your sdcard.

no root!
With no root, the only way to get rid of this bootloop is to factory reset, you can do it in recovery by pressing volume down + power at the same time, then you choose Recovery with the volume button. BUT you will loose everything ( pics, apps, etc. ).
But I hope that someone can give you another solution less "destructive".

Can he do a back up using ADB and then do a partial restoration after a factory reset?
Will adb backup work if the phone's not booting? .. I know that adb works when in a bootloop, but in the guide it shows a prompt to enter some encryption password ... I summon android wizards to answer this ...
