[Q] pretty sure it's bricked - Nexus 7 General

i loaded 13.04 on my nexus 7 and i ran out of space and was like 'that doesn't seem right.' so i saw in gparted that i had tons of unformated room...so i went to format it and now the little dude won't turn on....i tried googling and didn't really see anything... btw i tried to boot into recovery with no avail. pressed the power button for like 5 minutes including various combinations with volume - the screen will not turn on. i also tried connecting via adb with no results.
any ideas?

Can you get into fastboot mode instead of recovery? And see if computer picks it up in fast boot mode?

Fastboot is where you need to be. When you flash the os in fastboot, make sure to use the commands given in flash all.sh. Otherwise, you could end up with only 16gb useable on a 32, or 8 on a 16, and so on.

If the n7 is reporting incorrect space due to a bad previous flash, this will not help. It will still only read the formatted space available. Fastboot is the only way to correct the incorrect space issue.

Sometimes, the wrong command can be used during a flash process, and can cause a larger capacity to be seen as a smaller one. There are no grouper releases for 32, 16, or 8 only. It is the same image for all. So, the flashall.sh commands help avoid it from being seen as the wrong size. That way, your 32 is not formatted and installed as a 16.

When you formatted it, it probably also erased the boot loader. In which case, you're screwed.

Another dev Nexus 7 -- this time a 32gb one

http://imgur.com/a/motAI
Coworkers bought his 32gb unit from Office Deport which was delivered today. It has ICS 4.0.3 and a bunch of test apps loaded. Also the screen DPI made it think it was a normal 10" tablet. He was really confused by the strange interface of it and lack of setup wizard and everything.
I would have just loaded the new firmware onto it but this unit has the screen lift issue pretty badly on the right side -- so he's going to return it. Can't believe they haven't sorted that issue out already.....
ICS,Tablet mode..

Those apps could be fun to play with.. Possibly the binaries too for anyone who wants to get all retro and downgrade Android.
Sadly he wants a working tablet so is returning it -- meaning I didn't get any time with it. If I had more time I would have tried rooting it and TiBacking up all the various test apps. Funny they let stuff like this get released to the world.

They probably just "accidentally" install it on very few tablets, in hopes a developer gets a hold of it and does some cool stuff
Reminds me of how a person got a CR-48 test Chromebook with a BIOS on it (CR-48's had EFI on them), and that person uploaded the BIOS somewhere, and then anyone with a CR-48 could flash that BIOS, and then install any OS they wanted

Haha, ya, you would think. Of course, since the N7 is so open already, nothing really needs to be leaked. (Look at the recent full Ubuntu for N7)
those test apps are available. i have them all on my acer a500. There also is a version for jelly bean . but i cant find them They are on my computer here somewhere . grrr i need to do a fall cleaning .

Couple of things. First, Win8 RT relies pretty heavily on the UEFI BIOS API set. While not absolutely required, it would make writing the shim a pain. Secondly, trust me when I say that Google did not "accidentally" release the CR-48 UEFI BIOS into the wild. Things happen on the assembly line.

Yea no doubt. If a 32gb was just updated recently it wouldn't of had ICS. So this suggests that Asus had 32gbs back during original production of the 8s and 16s.

Galaxy note Help **REWARD**

Dear all,
I have recently rooted my Samsung galaxy note using this method:www .cursed4eva.com/root-galaxy-note/ which worked very well and i had no issues.
I then installed Beats audio pro from the play store and thats when i started to get issues like crashes and such so i uninstalled the app, then thats when i started to get a error message saying "Process system not responding" which would result in me losing control of my keyboard and i completely lost service and was unable to make calls etc(O2 UK).
I then performed a factory wipe and cleared the cache but this has made matters worse now when i reboot it only shows up for a couple of minutes then shows the "process system not responding" error message then goes to a blank screen with only the two lights at the bottom showing and i cant use my phone at all.
Please Help ill paypal anyone who can get my phone to work again.

I'm confused. I thought support for trim commands has been in since 4.2 or even earlier. I'm positive that the file systems were mounted with the -discard option before this most recent update. My understanding is that this causes trim commands to be sent to the flash whenever files are deleted. The tradeoff is that this involves a near constant but consistent performance hit, but keeps write amplification from getting out of hand. Is my understanding wrong? If so, how? If not, what has actually changed in 4.3?
---------- Post added at 12:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 AM ----------
I checked the mount options for /data and /cache and I no longer see -discard. Did 4.3 remove the -discard option from mount in favor of running trim opportunistically when the device is idle?

It stays like that til it does, I plug it and try every button combo trying to boot back and just get white battery. Any feedback welcome. I'll pay $25 in amazon credit for something if someone wants to personally fix it. It's not worth it but I love my little touchpad.

Ok....my son is a computer genius....been in IT for 25 years. I video chatted and he could see my screen. He talked me through all the commands and got tpdebrick running. But so far nada....connect touchpad push power+home+volumedown for 30 seconds and nothing. I bet i've done it a hundred times. I'll keep trying.

Well that is not good news. Wonder if a new battery would help.

I bought 3 touchpads several years ago. I was able to get 2 into usb mode and install android. This one had android and webOS and my daughter in law let it go dead. So I have a couple of options.....keep trying tpdebrick, buy a battery off amazon or just keep it for parts.

Oh an additional post....after holding down all the buttons for 30 secs plus, the terminal window finally says:
QDL mode not found
Aborting
