Hi
Just installed the 4.3 factory image on my nexus 7 then rooted it.
I restored my tablet with titanium backup and then it recommended that I reboot. So I went ahead and then rebooted. The nexus 7 boot loop has been going for about 5-7 minutes. Is there anything wrong?
Did you restore system apps? That can cause problems.

No. Made sure I didn't restore the system apps. I think its soft bricked. Got some help from the folks over at wugs tools but thanks anyways:highfive:

suffered the same problem before...
FC everywhere. Just go to recovery and re-flash all over again.
Ok first off, I am pretty green newbie, please help me understand this stuff.
This is my girlfriend's phone, she was using it and it reset itself and now it seems to be stuck in a boot loop.
We'd like to try and recover the original system back to normal without having to use the built in system reset. I've heard I can do that by wiping the dalvk cache?
It is not rooted, and I'm driving myself crazy trying to figure it out. There's ways to root it but I can't get into the system to run things like zergrush or the other options.
I tried to flash clockwork mod, but since the built in recovery tool only sees the INTERNAL SD contents, I only have access to the EXTERNAL SD card to put ZIPs in. I tried to use ADB to push the zip onto the internal SD Card but it says access denied (because it's unrooted?) Now what?
So short of system resetting it and loosing all the system settings or trying to see if we can send it into samsung for a replacement, how do I do this?
Thank you for any help in advance. Please be gentle.
Put cwm on the phone via Odin, on a question asked yesterday almost exact problem I posted a link with instructions how to do this, MAKE SURE it is a t679 not t759! Otherwise you will brick your device

Unrooted, your only real options are factory reset or use Odin.

That is not true, if he gets cwm on it via Odin he can flash to stock through cwm, doing so would bring the phone back to out of the box condition with 2.3.6. Also it will save ALOT of time doing cwm through Odin rather than return to stock via odin
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app
It is a T679, yes.
OK according to the wiki page for the phone, I see how to use Odin to bring the phone back to stock, which is great, but I just want to be able to root it to wipe the dalvik cache in hopes of stopping the boot loop. Hopefully this would get the phone working like normal again without deleting the old system, right?
With the Odin program, how would I use it to force the CWM.zip to root it and give me access to the recovery menu to wipe the cache? Or am I missing something?
Again, sorry for not quite getting this stuff. Thank you for helping.

My bad, I forgot there was a cwm for Odin on this phone. I got mine after the 2.3.6 update and you could flash it thru stock recovery. Plus I've only used Odin once and that was to root my Gtab 2.

OK thank you guys, using Odin did manage to get CWM recovery pushed into the phone.
The current problem is that wiping cache/dalvik is not fixing the boot looping.
I tried wiping battery stats, fixing permissions, wiping cache/dalvik, etc. and while it does cause the phone to sit on the "SAMSUNG" opening for about 2 mins, it still bootloops after that.
now, because I want to try and somehow preserve the old stock system (she has a lot of settings and programs that she needs to get access to) I can't just wipe everything and start over fresh.
Now, again, I am a newbie, but if I'm not mistaken, can I do a nandbackup onto the external SD card and this will allow me to just wipe to original stock, get it fully working again, then do an ADVANCED RESTORE of only the /system to get it back to the way it was before?
Again thanks for the help (and putting up with newbies) :3

If you go back to stock and then advanced restore system you will probably be right back where you are now. Do another backup before trying that.
P.S. Make sure you have a way to keep track of the backups. Write it down or something.
Sorry bro if it is sticking on the Samsung logo, your phone does not have a rom

Today i had my phone on the charging cable. Reactivated it: everything crashed: trebuchet crashed / sms crashed /whatsapp crashed.
So i took the battery out, tried to restart it. It won't boot, just the Cyanogenmod Circle for 5min+.
Flashed again, same result. Flashed new rom (from davidteri 10.1.0 RC to 10.2 Beta 9.) but now it's stuck at Android is updating / Starting Apps (maybe it's called different, just translating from german).
Any ideas / thougts??
You can't just install cm10.2 over cm10.1 without wiping data. It's a different android version. Try to install cm10.1 again and wipe cache and dalvik cache and fix permissions. If that doesn't work, then I'm sorry but you have to wipe data. If this is the case, do a nandroid-backup. After installing the new rom you can use titanium backup or AppExtractor to extract your apps out of the backup

Did that, but the problem occured earlyer...
So i went to and seen in log: "can't format unknown volume /emmc", does that mean brick bug got me and my phone is gone?
Did you do a full wipe? If yes and and it still doesn't work it could be a hardware failure, maybe emmc brick bug

If it still doesn't work, try to flash back to a stock rom. You can use this guide:

Could use some advice here guys. I'm stuck in bootloop from simply backing up my system. It seems anything I do in twrp other than doing a reflash of the Rom and gapps is bootlooping me. Again I can flash fresh and start over but I can't do anything else in twrp without a loop. I even tried restoring the phone to the backup that I made just before the loop

From bootloader, enter the following fastboot command:
fastboot format cache
See if that helps.

By chance..... did you save your backup to an OTG drive?
Sent from my Nexus 6
No I did not. Any chance it's a corrupt version of Twrp?

Doubt it.... I had the same thing happen when I did a backup to my flashdrive.
I ended up clean flashing and downloading all apps.

Nope. All I did was clean flash. I don't know what happened. It happened during the backup though, that's all I know. Had to clean flash to get back up and running. Also, it was rastapop that it happened to. I am running euphoria now.

I downloaded twrp in the play store. It has an SD fix on it and I re installed the latest twrp recovery. It seemed to boot up after doing dalvik and cache but not after backup. Issue still remains.

Complete noob so i'm sure it's something simple i'm missing, but i rooted yesterday and am using twrp for recovery. I have the new chroma M up and running but now when I go back to recovery all the files I had with my backup and other roms are not showing. When I boot into chroma and use my file explorer I can see them in the data shortcut on the phone, and have even moved my files to other folders on the phone, but when i go back into recovery I can never find them. Is there a way for me to load my backups and roms somewhere that TWRP will see them and boot them?
Same thing happened to me luckily otg worked for me. You'll have to format your data. In twrp recovery. Make back up of your apps and pics and music etc then do it and I would also factory reset it as well.

It looks like just doing the factory reset fixed it. Thanks!
