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 bootloader bootloader-grouper3.34.img
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...

Yes i do. C:\SDK
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.

Is it important which current status I choose?
There are 2 to be chosen: Soft-Bricked/Bootloop and Device is on/Normal
If "Device is on" means, that it's turned on, then this'll be my choice, right?

No, wiping of my /sdcard was all my fault. I guess I have to take all credit for that
Well downloading the Stock with the toolkit takes quite some time...

Thanks for your help so far.
I'll definetely report whether it worked or not
I've never used any of the toolkits out there, I've done it using adb/fastboot commands in a Command Prompt window.

Toolkits are probably the easiest way - and it was pretty easy - who could expect me to wipe the zip, I just moved to the storage before flashing it?...
Why does this file has to be hosted on goo.im?
Goo.im gives me roundabout 120kb/s...

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
Hi all, I have now rooted my phone and also installed the clockwork mod with rom manager. Now all I need is, how to install this cyanogenmod I just downloaded from here http://get.cm/?device=d802&type=
PS. I have international version
Hi,
Hum... Copy the .zip to your internal storage, reboot in recovery, make a backup first, do a wipe/factory reset in recovery then flash.
You also need the Google Apps.
All you need is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2495859, read carrefully before doing anything.
Yes. Very important to backup first or you could be screwed if so something goes wrong.
Also download GAPPS (Google Apps).
Boot into recovery, and do this in this order.
Backup
Flash from SD > CyanogenMod
Back > Factory Reset
Flash from SD > CyanogenMod
Flash GAPPS
Reboot. Pray. First time is exciting.

Hi,
Can't you read the link I posted... . There is a link for the Gapps and how to flash the rom...
You plug your phone to your PC via USB cable and put the rom+Gapps in the root of your stockage or create a folder named Cyanogen for example, it's like you want then in recovery navigate where you put your rom+Gapps.
But you really need to read before doing something I think, to avoid something that could go wrong...

Even with just root you loose the guaranty:
LG's phones come with some software loaded that detects the presence of root on a phone, and invalidates your warranty.

my rooted G2 with stock 4.2 suddenly quit accepting a charge and appears to be caught in a boot loop. when I have it in via usb to my laptop it (laptop) responds by recognizing 12 different devices while saying they they all need to be reformatted. when I unplug the device they go away on the laptop. when I hold power (device) the LG logo will appear then quickly disappear leaving only the very dim backlight as proof that it isn't completely dead. any ideas? thank you
one more thing, the fiddling I have been doing is xposed modules. the last one I think I activated was xblast tools (very cool sh*t by the way).
You need to flash the xposed disable zip that's automatically put on the root of the storage directory. The latest module or change you added is most likely the cause. After flashing the zip, you'll need to reinstall xposed. Remember to disable the module that caused the bootloop.

Hey, so today I wanted to install a new ROM on my SM-N900 Note 3. I flashed TWRP, and rebooted. Then I booted into TWRP and opened Android File transfer on my Mac. It kept saying please connect USB device. Other parts of the system do not read the device, however TWRP says the device is charging from my Mac's USB port. I moved to my Windows computer and connected the device. Still nothing. I tried multiple USB cables both 2.0 and 3.0. Nothing works! Can someone help me? I have no OS installed! I don't want to use ODIN or download mode because I would prefer to the install the ROM I'm trying to install because it seems silly that I have recovery access but can't access the file transfer.
Thanks, Justin
No SD Card?

MTP doesn't work with TWRP. You'll have to use adb and push the zip to your internal storage. Then flash it through TWRP.
There are many guides on how to do this, it is very simple. Good luck
Edit- i see you're using a mac, not sure if adb works on there.. never tried myself.. always installed linux on any apple product i've owned
I haven't researched it so it might work straight away, but if not just create a vm with xp, ubuntu or something and use adb through there

There's a button in TWRP called disable MTP or enable MTP. It has no effect. I cannot find any sign of a ADB button.

Ahhh I've seen that button before. Didn't jnowbwhat it did so I didn't touch it. Now that I understand it, I'll give it a try.

Nope. Not working. Started ADB sideload from TWRP and tried to push in a random zip from my computer (about 2 mb). it said error: device not found.
bump
