HELP! Brand new Nexus 7 won't boot! - Nexus 7 General

Hi all
Just got my new replacement N7 HSPA.
So I thought I'd unlock the bootloader (which I did using ADB) and then run this tool:
http://www.modaco.com/topic/355552-superboot-nexus-7-wifi-3g-root-solution/
After that my N7 was bootlooping. I managed to turn it off but now it wont turn on, at all!
I can't get anything to come up on the screen at all, when I plug it in to my PC it says USB device not recognized.
Is there anyone that can help? :crying:

Ignore - managed to get into bootloader mode so I'm sure I can fix.

I always use one of these .. never had a issue

Just bring it back to where you bought it and get a new one, they wont know who's fault it is that its broken.

All sorted - once I got into bootloader I could flash to stock images. All good after that.
thanks

Same here. Never used anything but those two tools; have never had a problem. And a general rule I've made myself follow: Never download/flash/install any sort of tweak, mod, etc. unless its comes from XDA

Mods can go ahead and lock this

well active sync wont connect anymore i was getting ready to go to a new rom and now active sync wont connect and i hard reset the device so... i need to
a. fix this tonight
b. fix this tonight
or c. go to oem stuff and send it back in (i dont know how to get it back to oem rom without active sync though) also if this helps it will sync to my older comp
You can flash another ROM by going into the bootloader (tri-colored screen) hold the volume down button and reset keep holding until the bootloader comes up then conect to your PC and when you see USB at the bottom you are connected to your PC and can flash any ROM! Thats how you bypass active sync to flash!

Lol, thanks man! Have you tried any other USB ports on your computer? Or is there another computer in your house you can try to connect to? It may not even be your phone, try plugging another device or something into the same USB and see if it recognizes that! Its all about process of elimination at this point! Problem solving at its finest!
P.S Good thing Adult Swim is on and I am still going to be up for awhile!
OMGOMGOMGOMG Thank you =]=]=]=] it says usb now and now do i flash like normal?

Right on! Yea just like normal, double click the wrapper.RUU and your good! Glad that worked for you!
What I did and I would recomend to anyone is to buy a 1 gig SDcard and format it to FAT32 and use that just for flashing, its easy to do and its safer and much faster, cuts your flash time in half! If you are interested I can walk you through it! I havent connected to active sync for a couple of months!

Also im installing a new rom now but what do you think about instead of using the active sync way to flash roms. why not just use the boot loader all the time?

You can but I still think flashing by SD card is the best, it just cuts out the middle man and gets a cleaner flash, less chance of anything going wrong too, ie: cords getting pulled out mid flash, ect, ect. Still, I am not sure if there are long term problems that can come out of starting flash strait from the bootloader everytime, I will have to look into it! Good question though! I am just glad you got it working, hate to see someone lose their phone or be out of one for awhile!

It depends on what bands the phone uses, The tp2 uses 850/900/1800/1900 MHz and at&t uses 850/1900 for their 3G so maybe or maybe not if you buy a euro version as some blackstones dont work with US 3G, but T-Mobile will be getting one and calling it the wing 2 and it will have 850/900/1800/1900 MHz so its possible that will work after it is SIM unlocked, we will have to see! Personaly I love the look of the Fuze and will wait awile before getting a tp2!
Hey im at school and i was thinking if the euro version only works sometimes then should i just wait til it comes out for att. but i wonder how long because i really am thinking about buying a euro version because it is a combo of all the phones i wanted. and did you know that verizon is still selling the the origanal touch
Also hey mods this is getting off topic but the problem was solved so you can lock this if you wish.

Seriously guys, especially considering that a lot of people are viewing these threads on telephones, how about rethinking whether or not having 18-line signatures identifying that you are in fact an HTC user (with an image to that effect), that you've used four different phones throughout your life along with individual lines to identify which rom and radio you've used for each (including those roms and radios of your Treos?!) is beneficial to the community. Signal to noise ratio people, signal to noise.
Now that you're thinking, yeah, that's pretty dumb of me, where's the control panel link, now think to yourself, why would you do that in the first place? I mean, c'mon. No one cares that you gave your palm 750 to your dad which ran a stock radio. Christ.
Mods too, you're the worst (I'm looking at you P1Tater) with your animated gifs. Okay I'll obey the rules because you've got high-production-value gifs that are more appropriate for les discothèques than XDA.
Oh and herg, don't get me started on his sig.

Ok d0ugie, I will chalk that one up to "everybody poops" Seriously though, I think the Mods should sticky a thread with the link to your site for sure, I love what you have done with it, definately should be one of the first stops for anyone who just got a fuze\touch pro or diamond! Thanks for all the time you put into it!

I managed to brake my phone :((( help

I installed the odin one click from the CAPTIVATE .... and now the phone only flashes AT&T LOGO the usb is not working any more, not charging not doing anything, and i can't get it by any means in download mode or other mode again. The only thing it will do is flash AT&T logo.... can i get it fixed. or i will have to put it for sale as parts ? thanks hope someone can give me a good advice and help me repair it ...

It can definitely be fixed, it's just a matter of how easily it can be done. Have you tried some of the unusual combinations people have come up with to get into download mode. For example removing the battery, holding power + volume down + home and then reinserting the battery whilst these buttons are held?
Also, if you can't get into download mode that doesn't mean you have to sell it as parts. Samsung will be able to repair it, if they can't tell what you did then perhaps they'll repair it for free under warranty.
Sometimes I just wonder why people try to install low-level software on their device that ISNT MEANT for their device. There is a reason, the captivate has a different model number and that is because it requires DIFFERENT software.
This comes close to me flashing the BIOS for an AMD motherboard on my X58 Intel motherboard.
reason for people installing other software is in my case because im STUPID !!! I stood almost 24 h reading forums in my country and stuff , and i googled ODIN the first link was this ODIN ONE CLIK i entered read about things there and it seamed to be for my phone, and from there we know the story. I did not think for one moment that the soft was for another phone. After i broke it i read all 42 pages and realized that.
I can't get the phone to do anything.... i can't charge it ... it's like the USB does not exist. If i start the phone unpluged, when i plug the usb in turns oFF , ass soon as i take out the USB it will start again to flash the AT&T logo...
I hope if i can't fix it, that SAMSUNG service will change it or can repair it and not charge a hunormus amount of money for that
you have give me hope telling that it can be fixed by samsung , and i still am opened for advices from u guys

Actually, you should try it... I've been told that flashing Intel boards with AMD firmwares allows unlimited overclocking! or not.

I'm sorry for that. It's a little bit of frustration speaking there. But I guess you have a way bigger problem. Although that post about putting the right file on the SD seems interesting (but I haven't heard of anything like that before).
But if you can, returning the phone and hoping that samsung will fix it will be the easiest fix.

[Q] Kindle Fire HD Bricked?

Hi All,
I'm a complete Noob to the Android world so I passed my Kindle Fire HD to friend who said he can install Jellybean on for me, but now the unit does not respond to anything? Has he bricked it and is there any way of fixing it?
Yes bricked. At this point doesn't look good.

If you plug it into a pc does it recognise the device, or even an android device?...Im no expert but Ive had some bad roots in my time and got very affraid. Ive found that if a pc can recognise it all hope is not lost. Saying that Ive also found that PC's have problems with very flat batteries. Leave on the the PC usb to charge for several hours before you pass judgement...I know this is a difficult option on the Fire but if that doesnt work you could try to remove the battery for a couple of hours. This is hands on stuff I never tried....there might be something on You Tube? Im Guessing since the battery is enclosed it might not be a simple "lift out"!!!!! As far as I am aware there isnt a recovery or download mode you can boot into... You could try seaching Kindle fire Hard Brick / soft brick for more information....A soft brick is good!!! Not very good but better than hard brick!
In future Id ask to see your friends device running rooted or with a different ROM. I only do mine and family until I know I can make it work...
Im not really liking the fire so much! I tried rooting one today....It didnt brick and it rooted....However Super user didnt get root access....Those tricksters at Amazon are trully annoying

Bricked!
Sorry, but you're likely bricked. There is another thread on here about the same thing. Your buddy messed up royally as the ROMs available are only for the original KF, not the KFHD and most of the ones I've seen clearly spell that out (although some development is under way). I'd say it's time to pay him a visit!

So no life what so ever....
Well Like you say hang on to it. I wouldnt hold your breath for a fix in the next couple of weeks though....The root is only an exploit and roms are pretty far away. Given the fact that there isnt a DL mode or recovery mode your brick is still gonna be just as broken in 2 weeks time.
As far as I am aware the Root is an Exploit. It doesnt actually unlock the bootloader it just tricks it, so ROMS are a long way away..
Someone will do it...they always do. If it can be programmed by people it can be hacked by people. Given the way Amazon locked it down though it might be months. Mind you they said that about the ROOT and that took days...So I could be wrong!
How about selling it for spares on E-bay....The battery is gonna be good and people are always dropping stuff so the case and screen will be worth something!
Im really sorry about your device...Im pretty noob to android and have screwed a device trying to go a step further. It does suck but I kept at it and I am learning......SO next time dont give it your M8 to screw up....Try not to screw it up yourself....
For me thats the whole point of Android. Stick with this forum and all the helpfull people on it!

I dont think that will work. Thats if the KFHD is not recognized by the PC. I bricked mine b4, where all it would to is launch into recovery mode. If the KFHD still turns on, I recommend a factory cable. You can find them on ebay or other places. It worked for me.

HTC One Random Restarts/Bootloops

Hey guys,
I was looking at buying this phone for myself and saw a faulty one that randomly restarts. Could this be a easy fix for me or could it possible be hardware related?
Appreciate all help

Could be many things... hard to say without any information.
Imagine if you call a car mechanics and you tell him ''I want to buy a car with an engine that randomly stops, could this be easy to fix or not?''
Then, he would probably ask you:
What you (or last owner) did with the car (phone) before it broke?
What car (phone variant) is it exactly? (fastboot getvar all)
What engine model inside that car (what rom)?
Any modification on the car (phone)? Root, unlocked booltoader, s-off, kernel?
And why would you want to buy a defective car (phone)?

So what your saying is that it's a gamble or a shot in the dark... I'll ask the seller a few of the questions and see what the reply is. If it's software, could I fix it myself or would I need to send it to HTC (wouldn't buy the phone then).
Thanks for the help though :good:

Yes this is a shot in the dark. Most software issue can be solved. There are some exceptions. Better to stay away from that device. If it would be an easy fix, that guy would probably have fixed it himself instead of selling it.

I did get a message back, just start to happen randomly in the morning, never been rooted, had a ROM flashed, s-off or tampered with...
They have said that they doesn't have the knowledge to install "new software" to the phone. I don't think they do know a great deal then?
What would be a good offer (In pounds)? I am looking for a new phone anyway but if it isn't a fixer upper then I'll re-sell it.

Sounds like your easy to con,
I could put you in touch with quite a few people, they have loads of stuff they want to get rid off..
Seriously, we hear this in XDA forums all the time..
" I bought it new, never touched it and somehow its suddenly found itself rooted. Help I've got to get it back to stock for warranty ". Tell him you will try it out for a few hours.
So before you get it. Install HTC sync, then uninstall it. The drivers will remain. Download adb and fastboot. Put them all in a folder on your desktop. In the mean time read all the guides on HTC but mostly Q&As. By the time you get it, you may be able to sort it out all by yourself.

So before you get it. Install HTC sync, then uninstall it. The drivers will remain. Download adb and fastboot. Put them all in a folder on your desktop. In the mean time read all the guides on HTC but mostly Q&As. By the time you get it, you may be able to sort it out all by yourself.

It is around 7 months old though (forgot to include that) Also, I still haven't bought it yet as I am still thinking whether to or not as it could indeed be a con or unfixable....

Nexus 6 strange lock ?

Hello everyone,
First of i want to mention that it`s my first experience with Nexus device after so many years so don`t blame me
well my friend bought Nexus 6 and it was all good (about hours) then he did factory reset and bad things just started... he was unable to complete setup, he was writing e-mail and pass and it was going back to WiFi select, also he could not skip WiFi select. someone said Google block but i never heard of it (i have z2 which has custom oem os so i don`t think it`s present there). well so how to get rid of that? he also can`t unlock boot because of DEV OPTION check and so on -_-
thanks in advanced

Was this bought used? Sounds like the previous owner didn't have the device ready for sale, and they'd need to log into it in order for your friend to activate it.

Unfortunately, no. The seller would have to put in his email address and password so that your friend can then put his own information in.
