stock nexus 7 stuck in boot loop - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i read that it can be fixed by unlocking and rooting. problem is it is a friends and he doesn't know what version of android is on it. also can't put it in usb debugging.

Install this using Fastboot which does not require USB debugging. Simply download the factory images package then extract into the ADB folder. Typing "flash-all.bat" will flash all stock images including the boot, recovery, system and data.

thank you that worked

waiting for device

I tried doing this and looked pretty promising because I have the same exact problem, but the terminal just says that it is waiting for device and does not budge. I have tried rebooting both computer and device. Neither work. Any other suggestions?
I tried again and now it says erasing 'boot'... and hangs there..
Is there any way to enable USB debugging or ADB through the command line fastboot?

Is your bootloader unlocked? If not boot into fastboot mode and type the command fastboot OEM unlock follow the prompt on the tablet and it will reboot now try the flashall.bat again. There is no way to enable USB debugging without selecting it from the menu that's a question that has been asked many times before

No. Sorry I forgot to mention that. My bootloader is not unlocked. And when I tried to do the fastboot OEM unlock, that is the only time the screen changes and gives me the option to unlock. When I scroll to yes and push the power button, the terminal says erasing user data and then it just gets stuck there.
I suspect that there is some kind of reading or writing problem.

OK if the bootloader won't unlock that sounds like a corrupted nand partition which would mean the internal memory is unwritable. One more suggestion try downloading wugfresh NRT use the unroot back to stock option tick soft bricked and force write. I'm not sure it will work with a locked bootloader.

I have attached a screen shot of what I got when I tried the NRT unroot. It appears as though you were right, and that it is not going to work with a locked bootloader.

OK well it looks like you are at the new motherboard stage then. Fastboot OEM unlock failing is a pretty sure sign that the internal memory of your nexus has become corrupted and it is no longer possible to read from or write to the tablet. If you have warranty now would be a good time to use it. If not eBay is a relatively cheap place to get a replacement motherboard. Sorry I can't be of more help than that

If you just want the lock icon gone the command is: fastboot OEM lock
Executed via the USB cable and fastboot.exe
Here is info on how to get back to stock if not already:

The unlock icon does not mean that the tablet is rooted, it means your boot loader is unlocked. See a couple posts back for a easy way to re lock it or use of the money tool kits...

Yes, my guess is the toolkit actually originally executed 'fastboot oem unlock' behind the scenes

【Help!】Failed to unlock Bootloader of Nexus 4

I just got my Nexus 4 and installed SDK and drivers on PC. OK, so now I boots my phone into fastboot mode, I connected it to my PC, entered"fastboot devices" in command line, no problem, I can see the device with the ID.
But when I entered"fastboot oem unlock", the command line it says" FAILED <command write failed <Unknown error>>". And the phone stays in fastboot mode without any pop-up.
I use USB 2.0 ports on the backside of the computer. Also USB 2.0 on my laptop. None of them work.
I tried to factory set the phone, restart computer and phone, change to another computer, none of them worked. Maybe I should contact Google to ask for an exchange because mine can not be unlocked?
Any help is deeply appreciated.

Only applies to ADB, not fastboot

Hy There i finally got my nexus 4 two days ago, i tried to search Google about bootloader limitation if there is any? Im pretty freaked cause i previously used xperia S with bootloader impossible to unlock, due to a carrier lock.
So is there a metod to check if bootloader of my N4 is possible to unlock like in hidden menu *#*#4636#*#* wich i cheked but i dont know to what i should pay attention? or is there the other way to chek .
I know that unlocking and rooting should be possible in N4 but i hope u understand my concern cause i bought N4 trough carrier contract and a negative expirience with xperia s, thanx

No, a Nexus device will ALWAYS have an unlockable bootloader.
I don't know if anyone has said this yet, but are you sure you're in fastboot mode when you type: fastboot oem unlock?
that command only works from the bootloader, not from inside recovery or when your system is booted up.

I just rebooted into the bootloader mode, hooked it up to my computer. Typed
fastboot oem unlock
There was a warning just after, accepted it.
then I downloaded the latest TWRP (2.5.0.0) for mako (Nexus 4)
fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img
booted into recovery, made a backup of my Stock rom, wiped /system /data /cache, used the following while in recovery
adb push name-of-my-rom.zip /sdcard
adb push name-of-google-apps.zip /sdcard
then installed both via recovery and rebooted into the fresh new custom rom.
If I had not installed a custom rom, and I were to leave TWRP into a non-rooted stock:
TWRP would instead warn me that it doesn't appear to be rooted, and if I would like it to place SuperSu on it, it would do so, and I would reboot into the stock system, launch SuperSu where it will ask me if I would like it to reboot into recovery and install the su binary. Which it does automatically, so stock-wise that was the cleanest way for me to get rooted on stock (with an unlocked bootloader)

By the way just as a recap.
fastboot works in the bootloader mode.
adb works in recovery and in normal system (with usb debugging enabled).

[Fixed] Nexus down / debugging mode deactivated

Hi guys,
first of all my problem:
After I recovered my build.prop to the original one I'd backuped and the next reboot my nexus 10 won't start anymore.
There had to be an error when copying or something I don't know but that's not the point!
The Nexus is starting until the google logo and then there's only a lightened up black display.....
starting in fastboot is possible and also the toolkit is noticing it.
The recovery mode is not possible to open (after the lying droid with the "!" i press power+volume up but only lightened up black...)
The biggest problem I have is that the USB debugging mode is deactivated
So i couldn't find out how to flsh the factory image on the device or "reanimate" it in any way.
Every trys with the toolkit end up in questions about the debugging mode.....
So I hope there's anyone out there who can help me with my problem
Thanks, dermokles
You don't need debugging on to use fastboot. Download the factory image from Google and extract the file until you see the images.
Boot into the bootloader and connect the N10 to your PC. Then run the flash-all script. It will flash all the images in sequence. You should be good to go after that.

[Q] nexus 4 Any way to copy data (broken touch input - physical buttons work fine)

Dropped my nexus 4 yesterday and it fell right on the edge of the screen shattering it. First time I've broken a phone, and this one seems like a particularly bad one to have broken - no reasonable price screen replacement with the screen attached to the digitizer.
Anyway the phone boots up and charges fine, but I can't unlock it, which means my computer isn't connecting to it. Is there any way I can save all of my photos and other files?

To be clear, I can't check because I can't get past the lock screen. I also have no way of turning the phone off, I just have to wait until the battery runs out and then I have one chance to turn it on. I'm wondering if there is anything I can do in recovery mode that might help?

Setup adb http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-set-up-android-adb-and-fastboot-on-windows-tutorial/
Plug the phone in while its at the lockscreen, and run "adb devices". If the command returns the serial number of the phone let me know and I'll give you further guidance. If it doesn't it'll take a bit more work but we should still be able to get it done.

Set it up, but no devices listed
It's frustrating because it's so tantalizingly close. I have a pretty good idea that when I send it in to LG they are probably just going to send a different refurb back. I find it hard to believe that they do a 1 to 1 repair job on each phone that comes in.

Alright. This is what you'll need to do: unlock the bootloader, flash cwm recovery, boot into cwm, use adb to copy the contents of your SD card to your PC.
Read this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266654 . only follow the parts to unlock the boot loader and flash clockworkmod custom recovery. Make sure that you flash the recovery right after unlocking (without rebooting in between) otherwise data will get wiped. )
After that boot into your newly flashed recovery and use "adb pull /data/media/" . this should copy everything on the internal sdcard of the phone.
Sent using xda-developers app
Search for how to unlock the bootloader without wiping all your data. Would be moot otherwise...
Of course if all that's been done in the past and you already have cwm/twrp, just boot to that and you'll be able to adb in.
Also, you can hold onto the power button for 10s to force it to power down.
EDIT: restarted and tried again, making some progress now.

Again, that's why we go into cwm/twrp. Insecure debugging is enabled there.
Awesome, it appears to be copying everything over now!
Can't thank you enough! Just saved a years worth of pictures and videos, that pretty much chronicle the start of my current relationship up to the present.
Of course right now it is just pulling all of the EA real racing data, but I assume it will eventually get to the pictures, haha.

Apologies, i was a bit rushed. So i'm trying to get all my pics/data off my phone as my screen is smashed and i had a pattern lock on. My phone did not have usb debugging enabled. So i unlocked the bootloader, didn't do a reboot, flashed a custom recovery and then entered the recovery. However, my device isn't recognised in windows once i enter recovery and as such when i run "adb devices" no device is listed.
In the original instructions, it says:
After that boot into your newly flashed recovery and use "adb pull /data/media/" . this should copy everything on the internal sdcard of the phone
So how come once I load my recovery, when in cmd prompt, "adb pull /data/media" doesn't seem to work?
I'll be honest, i'm a little lost at this point and just really don't want to lose all my pics and thought i could get them this way before sending my phone for repair/replacement (it is insured)

Before you can run the adb pull command, you'll need to get your phone recognized by "adb devices". Try installing Koush's adb driver.

Nexus 7 2012 grouper Can't unlock bootloader

I have the afore mentioned Nexus 7. Have all the toolkits and proficient in adb. Get to the unlock prompt for the bootloader and press power over the yes option. It comes back up in bootloader locked every time.
I am in an endless loop otherwise. I can load to safe mode also.
Have the 4.23 bootloader and was trying to take the ota to 4.4.3.
Used two different aio toolboxes both with no luck. Tried to force load a stock rom. No luck. It just keeps booting back to how the tablet was before the update then reboots before you can do anything.

If you are proficient in adb like you state,then drop the toolkits.
What commands are you using? Does adb recognize your device?
Toolkits or cmd prompt the result is the same. Bootloader acts like it is going to unlock but doesn't.

I too have this same issue.....
Once I get the unlock screen (using tool kit) and select yes.... it goes to reboot, but the tablet never comes back on...
Once I turn it back on, I never get passed the "Google" screen....
The tool kit ADB see's the tablet and runs through the "unlock" yet it never takes....
I assume that USB debugging is not turned on... but I can't get the tablet to start it up to turn it on...
Been trying SKIPSOFT ANDROID TOOLKIT.
Can anyone help?
Try the other toolkit.

Yes... I have attempted to unlock the device 3 times...
I have used 2 different tool kits and adb fast boot....
They attempt to unlock the device.... but as the unit goes to unlock, it goes to reboot and the unit doesn't come back on... If I manually turn it on, it still shows the unit as locked...
When using abd, the unit does try and unlock and then when it reboots it shows that it unlocked the device yet the device still shows locked..
I'm at a loss right now as to what I should do....
That's a problem. (Not being able to unlock with fastboot can be a sign of corrupted bootloader/partition/emmc)
Have you tried to factory reset your N7?

Yes... I tried a factory reset..... but, as of now, I can't get to that option... If I try to get into recovery, it just goes to an image of the android with a red "!".......
