Resetting Nexus 6 with Broken Screen - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I broke the screen of my Nexus 6. Need to reset it before sending for repair. Any bright ideas?

Is debugging already enabled?

Everything is as per factory settings no rooting no nothing.

If the digitizer is broken, probably not much you can do. If the screen can still be pressed, you can reboot to recovery and do a factory reset. Hold volume down + power and then reboot to recovery and choose to factory reset

NFC error out of the box, killing N7

So I FINALLY received my N7 today, was very excited to run home and start her up..... finally do and i get a "Unfortunatly, NFC service has stopped" on the start screen. When i hit ok it goes away for 1 sec and then pops up again making doing anything completely useless... I am unable to get passed the wifi screen because i can't enter my password.
I have photo and video of the problem but XDA won't let me share those yet....
Anybody know a way around this? I'm also wondering if my NFC chip is toast right out of the box...... ahhh the life of an early adopter....
I've hard reset it and still same problem..... Google CS was also no help....
Never heard of it. Just root and fix permissions!

Download the system image and flash from fastboot. Maybe that would fix it. Sounds like it could be a bad system flash or something.

Thanx for the suggestions.. I will have to try one.... Google is RMA'ing it now but it may be a few days which royally sucks...
I currently can't basically get passed the welcome screen because of this NFC error message... until I can post it you can just search Youtube for Nexus 7 NFC Issue...

How do you root if you cannot get into the Dev options and turn on USB debugging?
boot into fastboot, flash cwm, boot into cwm, install root package.

To root you have to unlock the bootloader first I believe. I thought USB debugging had to be turned on to unlock the bootloader.

Nope, you just need to get into bootloader mode (you will need to find the key combination for it).

Power the device off, Hold Vol Up + Vol Down + Power (in that order) and keep holding till the bootloader shows.
I have the same problem, but it is hanging at the Google logo when I select recovery mode.
You cannot boot into recovery directly from bootloader unless you're plugged into a computer via the USB port.

Same here.
I have let it sit for over an hour and my crappy tablet will not budge from the Google logo.
Btw, I have the same Nfc issue as the OP. Contacted Google for a replacement and am currently looking into a solution for this.
>Google is RMA'ing it now
So did you try to get cross-shipping, ie advance replacement, as some Google CS rep had claimed as allowed?
Would have fixed it myself vs. RMA! No waiting for a new one

Wat exactly option you seen in rcovery?
Can you post pic of recovery?
And are you sure you are in recovery mode?
Switch off device
Press Home + Vol up + Power
release power once you see samsung logo
now you will have few option and select wipe data (select with vol up/down)
enter choice with Home if you are on GB/ power if you are on ICS
I can't do anything at this point. What I can see is on the picture. Before that I just press volume up + power and home, from there factory reset, wipe everything and this is how I came to what you can see on the picture. Any suggestions

Changed the DPI now wont boot?

Hey guys I just changed the DPI on my Nexus 7, now it wont boot, it sits at a greyish/black screen, going into recovery it sits at the google screen.
anyone able to help please?
did you edit the build.prop manually or did you use an app?
basically you should just reboot into cwm and run a restore of your last backup

Plug your USB cable into a computer, you don't need to run a program just have it plugged in, boot to boot loader with power + vol up + vol down and then choose recovery with the volume rocker.
Inside recovery wjpe data, cache, dalvic cache, and system and restore the nandroid backup from before you changed the DPI.

Oh with this guide i flashed the rom but still tha same bootloop and no factory reset this flash tool look like to update the rom and not a clean install

You're right it doesn't factory reset, but again what happens when you try to boot into factory reset. After that guide the volume down and power should work. Are you releasing power when lg pops up then immediately hitting power again? Are you starting this sequence from completely powered off?

Yeap completely off and not conected on usb, is there any possibility the factory reset been damaged ? The phone is root but in my g2 i got in factory reset immediately

sometimes the phone almost start and i can see my lockscreen
noone can help??
- Hook it in to the PC and then spam the "adb reboot recovery" command until you get it to go to the recovery.
- If you're trying to get into one of the modes, it's a little finicky. You want to make sure it's turned off completely first, and then try to do one of the power+volume combos.
- Once you get it in download mode, follow the thread that talks about the factory reset with the LG tools. PAY ATTENTION TO THE INSTRUCTIONS! They're important.
- If you were in the San Antonio TX area, I'd show you what to do. Maybe someone nearby can help. It might take a few tries, but it's not that hard to recover from. At least you -have- a bootloop. I'm stuck with nothing.
First of all i am in greece , i haved tried the adb reboot recovery nothing happens. What do you mean by "lg tools"?

if you have already installed the 4.4.2 then you need to enter in the settings / general / backup and reset / factory settings / reset phone / erase everything-but this option delete all from your phone(photo,music itp.. totally everything) when you do it, phone will reboot and erase all from your phone and when erase reboot - I always hold volume+ then phon going download mode and go to 4.2.2

Power button reboot

Whenever I push my power button my phone seems to do a soft reboot. Is there any way to turn this off and to revert back to normal reboot menu when holding button down. I am running CLEANROM 2.2.

This is usually a bug when something has broken the power menu. Maybe an Xposed module or a theme or something.
I can't get xposed to install

Well, its either an app, theme, mid interfering or a problem.with your rom.
