Hello, I fear I have bricked my nexus 7 (2012 wifi unrooted) and lost all of my data
What Happened?
Play store would crash on startup so I went to restart my tablet.
When turning my tablet back on it gets stuck on the four circles loading screen and does not load any further.
What Have I Tried?
Firstly I went into recovery mode and tried "wipe cache partition" as recommended elsewhere. This changed nothing
Then I tried to flash 4.4.3 on in hopes it would replace potential corrupt files (whilst also getting an early update )
I used this guide cultofandroid com/63876/install-android-4-4-3-nexus-5-nexus-4-nexus-7/
It failed. When running flash-all.bat (with -w removed) it would be stuck on "waiting for device" and my tablet would also be idley waiting to receive files.
I thought that my laptop could not 'see' my tablet but think it actually could because I tried restarting my tablet whilst it was plugged in still, and command prompt showed some messages (unfortunately I didn't take note and cannot remember what they said!) whilst it was restarting
State of tablet now
I now cannot even get into recovery mode
When I turn my tablet on the normal way it loads to a screen which shows the "Google" text in the center of the screen, an unlocked padlock at the bottom, and the fastboot options top right (clicking them does nothing)
When I turn on my tablet on into fastboot mode and try to get into reovery mode I get an error message in the top left of the screen saying "Booting failed"
I'm out of ideas.
Is there any way that I can get my tablet back working normally with all my data safe?
Thanks for any and all help/suggestions
Don't go into recovery mode, just leave it in fastboot mode and run the flash-all.bat.
(The -w might be needed, as it reformats your partitions. Yes, all your data goes but if there are faulty sectors, this is the only way)
Thanks, I left out the -w but it completely wiped the tablet anyway. Better than having a brick.
Before I assumed you couldn't flash with out getting into recovery.
For anyone else doing this be patient. The command prompt looks like it has stopped a couple of times but it hasn't. Its only finished when it says 'press any key to exit' (took 4-5 minutes for me).
Also when it reboots your tablet it takes a while and actually reboot mine 2-3 times before it loaded up.
Hello people,
I have a German Nexus 4 and it gets stuck in bootloop whenever I turn the power on.
I've had issues with the phone since the last few months - i.e. random reboots, random program crashes.
But recently I tried to root it in order to install the Android L developer preview. It was during the booting process, when my Nexus crashed and it has been unable to boot ever since.
When I push all three buttons (power + 2 volume rocker buttons) simultaneously, I get the fastboot screen.
Choosing the following options has these effects:
Start --> phone tries to boot but gets stuck in bootloop forever and ever
Restart bootloader --> restarts the fastboot screen
Recovery mode --> phone shows the robot with an opened belly and a red warning sign (see photograph)*
Power Off --> turns the power off
Also, it is NOT detected or recognized by my Macbook when I connect the Nexus via USB cable. So it's impossible for me to access the phone via my Macbook.
*This is the screen shown when I try to go into Recovery mode in fastboot:
[can't upload outside link to image]
So this leaves me with no options as I never get further than the 4 turning circles forever and ever.
Is my Nexus 4 broken or is there still a chance to unbrick it? (I have a MacBook, so Windows programs won't work for me)
Of course it's not possible to recognize it when OS is not running.
Download WugFresh toolkit, ADB drivers (Universal) and the factory image. Enter fastboot, connect USB and flash the image
Your phone is not hardbricked, because it boots into the bootloader.
It might be recovered if you can access it with fastboot.
Try uninstalling all related drivers and install the Naked Universal Driver.
Thanks for your replies!
Unfortunately, the programs you mentionned don't work on my Mac (they seem to be Windows-only).
Also, how can I install stuff on my Nexus? Since it is not recognized by my MacBook, I can't load any files onto my Nexus.
And since any command on the fastboot screen only leads to the phone powered off, restart of the fastboot screen or the mentionned bootloop, I cannot perform any actions on the Nexus ...
Go to a friend with Windows.
Problem solved!
Somehow after the 1000th bootloop I finally reached the screen where I could wipe the phone.
And then it finally booted! Now all the data are lost and it's like a new phone, but at least it's working again!
How long was the boot loop? Was it the new boot animation from L?
Because when you flash L, the first boot up may take up to 15 minutes, leading you into thinking it's a boot loop.
Have a standard Nexus 7(2012), 18m old. OTA upped to Android 4.4.4. a month+ ago. Never rooted. From then on it has lasted a week or less before freezes/reboots while using apps or even nothing at all.
Have undertaken boots to fastboot mode (android on its back, door open but no red triangle) and then entered recovery mode to wipe system cache and then do a factory reset. This sometimes progresses thru startup restoring apps ok. Sometimes it crashes part way thru. Often get background Chrome and Maps crashes of late as it redownloads my old apps.
Google HW support line recommended this course of action until last time when desperate Indian woman out of her depth tried to say it was a hardware fault and palmed me off on Ausus(uk) saying they did a 2yr warranty... which I think they don't. Still to investigate that one.
The reboots kicked off again today. So did the usual: did a cache clear then factory reset and it restarted. Now it crashed while the Android coloured balls still rotating! And forcing into fast mode to do a 2nd factory reset failed as when I select Recovery Mode it now says "Booting failed" in small letters at the top and dumps u back in Recovery mode, though less the Android logo on its back. Cannot restart bootloader either, same error. Rebooting just freezes with "Google" displayed.
Have I "bricked it" somehow. How to I get past this?
As a novice, I have got Nexus Root Toolkit v1.8.5and tried to reflash to stock 4.4.4 rom on it. But bootloader is locked, as it is delivered, and it will not unlock it. (read from The Definitive Guide on How to Restore Your Nexus 7 Tablet (Even if You've Bricked It from nexus7 wonderhowto site)
Anyone got any info on what to do here? Better reflash tool/instructions? Is it hardware problem? Do Asus uk do a 2yr warranty that I need after 18months? Is this tablet permanently a dead parrot?
Any help, I am desperate here. Thanks
Good day! I wanted to ask how to remove the bootloader for zenfone max (the old one 2015 model) without using the app from ASUS as I cannot really use my phone. It boots then restarts. I already tried Wiping/Factory Data reset and Wipe cache with the Power and Volume down (Is it Recovery mode?) but still bootloops, by the way when I factory reset, my phone showed "Unknown volume for path /factory". My friend told me it could be that my OS was corrupted. So here I am wanting to unlock the bootloader so I could install OS for my phone.
**Note1: Sometimes it would boot to the "Welcome!" screen, then when I reach to the Wifi selection, it would always restart.
***Note2: This bootlooping happened when I restarted my phone because my wifi suddenly couldn't connect. After I restarted, it looped.
Noob here btw. Sorry and I would be glad to provide additional information if needed be.
Hello, I got a Moto C Plus that's stuck on the LENOVO logo, formatting it is not an option since I still need some data inside of it. The device is encrypted, it boots normally and allows me to put the first password, during the second boot process it gets stuck on the LENOVO logo, If I use ADB I can see the device and it appears as connected but I can't access anything on it. Is there a way I can boot temporarily on a recovery/boot ROM or anything of the sort to take everything out then format it normally? Any advice would be appreciated.
Pulling out data ( user and/or system related ) - what only can get achievd via ADB - requires Android is rooted, requires encryption gets removed before by a Factory Reset what in turn wipes all user-data and removes all user-apps, resets system apps to their initial sate.
