Hi guys,
I had Pure nexus rom installed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/rom-pure-nexus-project-layers-t3237366
and everything worked fine for weeks. Yesterday I noticed that my nexus 4 is using battery too much, without any reason.. Then my phone turned off, try to restart but it was stuck on google logo. At that point there was 20 or 30% battery left. I boot it to recovery, wipe everything and tried to restore factory settings, cos I didnt have any backup on phone. But again it was stuck on google logo.
So now I cant boot it cos there's no system installed on it, basicaly there is nothing on my phone. I tried Nexus Root Toolkit, but my pc dont recognize my phone, when I boot to recovery it's still the same, so I cant install drivers..
At this point, I have no idea what to do.. Can anyone help pls?
Thx
Can you get into fastboot? Are you using Win7? Tried different USB ports and cables?

Thx for quick reply !
Yes, I'm using win7 64x, I tried all usb ports and 3 different cables and nothing. I can get into fastboot and recovery, but pc still don't recognize anything..
i am currently under the same situation
only difference is i can still fastboot and flash a recovery (twrp for that matter)
afterwards, when booting to recovery - i can install a rom
once the rom is installed, reboot does not boot into the ROM and instead just displays the google logo - then vibrates a little - then the screen turns off
I just tried on 2 other win7 pc's, still nothing.. Nexus root toolkit just can't establish adb/fastboot connection..
edit: other thing I tried is to copy ROM file on usb stick, and then connect usb stick with micro usb cable to phone, and when I'm in recovery (twrp 3.0.2-0) there is just ''internal storage'' option.. Is that normal, should twrp see external USB drive? Cos I'm thinking that maybe something is wrong with usb charging port (I replaced that board month ago).
Hi,
I have a similar problem:
I had my mobile in working condition and once when upgrading the OS to 5.0.1, it downloaded the OS and was upgrading. During that process, the charge got over and hence the phone was shutdown. There after, it was not proceeding further from Google screen when trying to reboot. So, i thought battery is dead and replaced the battery with a new one. Now, i am getting the following problem:
The phone doesn't turn on(not even getting GOOGLE screen now). But, If I keep holding power button and Volume down button and try to insert the charging cable immediately then i get the boot menu but it wont stay there for even a second and goes to GOOGLE logo screen and gets shut down. Please help me with this.
Hi guys,
I menaged to fix the problem, my problem was charging port (smal L shaped board) that I replaced month ago. That's why there was no connection.
I got another one this morning from ebay, and Nexus Root Toolkit established connection immediately.

That looks like a stuck power button.
Try just holding the volume down button and plugging the charger.
If you see the fastboot screen, you have a stuck power button.
Just experienced this issue on a Nexus 5 and I was able to recover from it by "massaging" the power button for a while.

Was running an ICS rom for about 2-3 weeks. Can't remember which 1 but I do remember that it was a Defy+ (port ?, 4.0.3). It changed my phone description to (MB526). Ran pretty good but would randomly freeze and not move. Decided to re-flash. Went to clockwork to run a backup, not sure/don't remember what I did after that as it's been a week since I'm trying to get Defy back up and running. got stuck in a boot loop. Now it's not even looping, just freezes on google splash screen.
My problem: I can get into boot loader fine but phone is not recognized/won't connect with RSD Lite. Tried a couple different versions including v4.9. If I could connect I'd just re-flash an sbf. Drivers are fine. I have other Motorola Apps such as Flash&Backup3, P2K, Motorola Phone Tools for a couple other phones I have so I should have any drivers I need, Also phone was flashed prior to this with these drivers installed.
I cannot get into fastboot, stock or CWM recovery. I did notice "all" of the zip files on the SD card were gone. Roms, Apps, etc. Everything else was still there. When phone is off and I plug into the computer, the white led lights for a bit, then the blue, then the google splash screen and that's it. Won't move after that. So I'm guessing my recovery is still there but I can't access it. Tried connecting with/without SD in the phone. No luck.
I cannot connect with ADB either. Says no device found.
I've downloaded and re installed everything I could but still no luck.
I am at a loss as to what to try next. This is not my 1st flash so I like to think I know what I'm doing. Flashed 11 different phones, 5 different OS's. So I'm not a noob. But now I need some help from you guys/gals.
Anyone with any suggestions would be welcome.
From my limited knowledge I understand that if you can get into the boot loader your not bricked ?
So what do I do next ? HELP. Questions ? Ask away. This is starting to piss me off.
Bootloader 09.10
Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB Data Cable
After pluging in usb, phones says:
Transfer Mode: USB
Did all this on Vista Desktop. Should I try my Windows 7 Ultimite laptop ?
Mods: apologize if it's been covered but I didn't see my problem in the threads, not that I looked at all of them.
Thanks

When the indicator is lit in blue, press the volume down. It should boot recovery.

Yes.
Also you could try to connect your phone to another USB port.
Try that when I get home from work. Let you know if either worked.

Solved. Ya know, I thought I there was something I was missing. That's what happens when you own 9 different phones and play with them all. I had just finished flashing an old Motorola RAZR V3re.
Appreciate the heads up.
Up and running in 5 minutes. Thanks

Hello ! I really need help at this moment, i don't know what to do ... Really !
My Nexus 7 was in CM10, but 1 week ago, my tablet runs out of battery (turned off completly).
I plugged in, turned it on, and it bootloop on the Google logo. I mean i see the google logo, turns off and go back to the google logo, endlessly....
I tried the recovery mod to go back to the stock software... But i get the android's robot laying on it's back with a red icon....
No ADB status, and i cannot install the drivers with the nexus root toolkit ...
I powered it off, unplugged, plugged it, and let it charge all the night, but i get the same problem.
So .... I opened the back, see if there's any problem with the battery, disconnected and reconnected the connector, nothing suspect ... Turned on, bootloop on the google logo, super ... :good:
From this, i tried this method from XDA how-manually-unbrick-restore-your-nexus-7-s-factory-state-windows (can't post URL Ha!)
And tadaaaa, that's working now, i can access to my nexus 7 with the 4.1.0 Android, but ... I cannot access to the network ( it's connected but i get a grey icon with these little arrows...) and the battery shows 0%. If unplugged, my tablet turns off... Also, number of notifications show "......" as stoped working.
Now, i have the ADB status, that's pretty good, so that i can install the 4.2.2 Android version with the nexus 7 root toolkit. During the installation, at the end (when the tablet bootloop on the nexus logo with the color) my tablet turned off (maybe runs out of battery or a problem ? Don't know ...) ...
I plugged in the wall charger (not the computer) and my tablet restarted. See the google logo, after the nexus logo, and restart, endlessly ...
Now i don't know what i have to do, i'm completely lost. Do you think i can do something last, or i have to return my Nexus ?
Sorry if it's confused at some time, i've not a good english.
Thank you in advance
I think you failed to attach your battery correctly. Try disconnecting an reconnecting the battery. Than power down the tablet(Power button for 10sec if turns back on press power and volume down and choose "Power off") Than recharge your tablet using(Charger is better than PC). Now try flashing or installing Android. Should work. Let me know if doesn't.

I've already did that! It's correctly attached ...
I think that everytime i tried to install a new OS, my tablet turns off because he runs out of battery, whereas i though i was due to an error .
I've retried the method i gave above, Third times.
It's working now in Android 4.1, but if i try to update, my nexus restart again and again ...
Very annoying because i can't access to the recovery mode --' ...

Thank you jesus ! ^^
I've saved my nexus !
I post the solution:
You just have to follow the guide, named as "[HOW TO] MANUALLY UNBRICK / RESTORE YOUR NEXUS 7 TO IT'S FACTORY STATE (WINDOWS)" on this same website. (As i'm a new , i can't post URL at this time)
You must do the installation twice or more, because sometime, the nexus 7 reboot endlessly on the google logo, or on the nexus logo.
I needed to do this three times in a row to get a full and complete Android 4.1 working .
From that, i followed another guide. (because if i try to upgrade to the 4.2.2 OS, the nexus 7 is also blocked and i got a non stop reboot tablet)
Just go on google and type this "How to install cm10 jelly bean on the google nexus 7 using twrp recovery"
This is a youtube video that shows you how to download and install the Cyanogenmod10 in TWRP recovery mod.
(To access to the TWRP recovery mod, you can also use the Nexus 7 root toolkit by clicking on the Advanced button)
And voila, that's working now perfectly for me !
Hope this will help

hold power down for 20 seconds. let phone sit for 1 minute. now hold power and volume down. this should bring you to a white reset screen. press power 3 times.

When you plug in USB does charge light come on. Sounds like a battery went dead.

I've heard some people are having issues with the charge port and/or cord also. Maybe try another cord and make sure it's plugging in tightly? I think the last person covered everything else.

No charge light at all =/
I had the same problem, it occured while switching from cwm to twrp. i used the unbuntu method ( i think you mean this right here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142)
are you sure you were in fastboot mode? because i wasnt and it should say so in the top left corner if you were.
try different cords/ usb ports or even pc's to charge it. my mac couldn't find it at all, my windows did.

For me the brick happened when i was flashing KK with TWRP, during the flashing appears something that said "couldn't not mount system" and the phone shut down and never power up again , no usb no charge, no linux, no nothing, when i plug my device in windows appears that the devices cannot install the drivers, and i've tried all the drivers and still doesn't work
Hold power down until phone is completely off. Then, hold power and down volume until you see LG logo. As soon as you see the LG logo, release and then quickly press power and down again. Hold until you see a white screen. Then go from there.

i've tried all the possible combinations of buttons and no one works, i've been holding the power button for a whole minute and nothing happened, and the other combination either, nothing seems to work i give up
It's just power you press after the logo, not power and volume down.

There's no logo, 'cause it doesn't turn on by any means , no matter what button or combination i press, there's no response.

i've tried everything, download mode, linux, recovery, lg mobile, and nothing works i think it's completly brick, i hope one day someone comes with the solution, because i went today to SAT and they don't even know what happened with my phone, and i bought it in another country so they don't want to get involve
So all you get is a black screen with you boot? There's probably a way to push whatever file might be missing or even an entire ROM but I lack the knowledge on how to do that. I remember I had to work some magic on my Galaxy Nexus but I used a toolkit so I'm afraid I've got no really useful information for you.
This also happened to me!
I am in the same state.
I rooted the LG, I installed the custom Rom, I installed an updated GAPPS and it wasnt working. I then went and installed another GAPPS overtop and I got stuck in boot loop. After I tried recovery from ADB I tried to restore from TRWP and it didnt take. After I rebooted nothing turned on, no LED, I tried ALL button combinations and nothing comes on at all. I am wondering if the phone died and now will not charge...I started with 60% but the last time i saw it it was down to 15% just thinking maybe it died completely and without any software to boot it wont charge...I have had it on charge for 8 hrs since and still nothing...
Please help!

I'm afraid to tell you, but our phones die there's nothing to do to saved them, we just have to keep them in that state meanwhile the solution comes up, because in this very moment there's nothing we can do
Hi,
i never touched my Nexus 7 with any other ROMs or such. It was still rooted and kinda original. Now i can't do anything with it anymore.
I talked to the google hotline already and i was trying to start the bootloader which works fine, but nothing more.
1. When i choose Start, Restart Bootloader, Recovery Mode oder Power Off nothing happens, beside Booting failed (Recovery Mode).
2. When i start the phone just with the power button i just see the google logo.
3. When i plugin the power cable i don't see the battery for loading.
I got another device from google with horrorable battery power, so now i wanna try on my own the save my Tablet. I flashed my Galaxy Nexus and HTC HD2 couple of times, so i'm not a 100% Noob.
I was already looking in like 10 threads i found about problems nearly like mine, but i don't got the golden clue yet, sry.
I hope you can help me please.

I encountered identical problem on an N7 (2012) 32gb and try everything that I know how and always get the message ADB not found. Finally I use Skipsoft ToolKit and use option #9 Download, Extract and Flash Google Factory Stock Rom and it works . My N7 was returned to stock with latest firmware.. Of course you will lose all data and still have to unlock and root again
I am not a techie so I cannot explain the details but only share my experience.
I hope it will work for you

If you can't see the white battery picture when plugging in the power cable, I suggest you use AC power, and if you are, try using a different USB Micro cable.
hi all,
i had the nexus player with me and installed cm12.1, everything was working fine, i had it at the hotel i was staying at. no issues whatsoever. but after i unplugged it and brought it back home, i plugged it back in and it just bootloops on the google logo. the bootloader is unlocked.
i tried pressing the reset button while powering it on, but no luck, the leds dont flash quickly to enter fastboot.
ive tried also keeping the reset button pressed again while powering it on, and eventually the led will blink slowly. i then let go, but then it just brings up the google logo again and will bootloop. tried plugging it into the pc while doing this as well, but adb doesnt detect it either.
pretty cant get into fastboot mode or even the recovery mode. any hints or tips i should try? i dont want it to be dead after just 4 months of usage.
Lol I did the exact same thing in pretty good at getting out of a brick but the nexus player is pretty low on my list its actually been like this for about two months now and I haven't touched it
While the LED is blinking slowly have you checked to see if the device is enumerating over USB at all. I believe slow flash indicates recovery mode. Do you ever see Andy with an exclamation mark?
Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk
well I was able to get it back up and running by plugging it into my pc and messing with the drivers a little bit, then I used fastboot to flash the stock firmware again and now im putting a custom recovery back on it, all in all its pretty easy to fix so its definitely not dead for good. Sorry im not great with tutorials
howd you end up recovering. i want to get it back up and running. perhaps i can try another pc.
when the led flashes slowly, i have the hdmi cable plugged in, but it just bootloops, never gets to to the android recovery mode. first time ive had a bricked android device.

Boot into the bootloader by unplugging the nexus player and then hold the button on the bottom and plug it in. Let the button go when you see the google logo. Then just use fastboot to flash the stock firmware.
