Bootloader freezing!!!!!

I wanted to update my ROM this morning, I was using XenonHD 13, wanted to go to XenonHD 14. So as I did it at least 20 times before that, rebooted to recovery (CWM touch) and then cleared dalvik, cleared cache. Then, I installed the update. It gave told me that the update wasn't installed. I didn't have time to see what's the problem as I'm going to school so I just rebooted the device. Now the problem starts...

It didn't want to reboot at all, it was actually stuck on the boot screen (google written in white in the middle and the unlocked locker on the bottom in white). So I hard reset the Nexus 7 and it goes back to the boot screen. After a few times doing that, as soon as it shuts down, I instantly press on volume down button, so it goes to the bootloader. I select recovery, then, same problem, stuck in the boot screen.

If I plug my USB cable, the fastboot doesn't even respond, even if I unplug the cable. I have to restart my N7 and instantly press on volume down. I have another cable that I use with all my other devices, it's not the one that came with the nexus, but I never had any problem. I even tried another one, same thing!

Any solution? would it work with the stock cable?

thank you!

Must have been a bad download. Try getting into the boot loader and boot in to recovery. Wait on the Google screen for a while and see. If it does wipe everything and start new. Try fastboot. With another cable and pc.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] KevinGee:
Idk if it's just me or what but this had happened on another ROM as well, whenever I toggle force tablet UI and reboot, my brightness goes all the way up and when I drag it down and let go, it just goes back up all the way again

Anyone experience storage issue ?

Sometimes the installed apps will be unusable (e.g. facebook) , and the app drawer icon will show a blank square with the software file name (e.g. something like "a.facebook_1.9.10.apk ") .

And sometimes the storage will be missing due to unknown reason . But sometimes it will not .

I am not sure if anyone else is having this same issue, but for the past few nights since upgrading to the newest updated version my tablet will turn itself off in the middle of the night. I don't bother pluggin in the tablet at night since the battery is usually around 75%. I wake up the next morning to find out the tablet is off completely and have to reboot it. Upon rebooting the table is sitting around 50%-60% battery life. Now I am not sure if this has something to do with the ROM or the latest Trinity Alpha Kernel?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] pellajl:
If you are flashing this ROM for the first time, it is very important that you have the latest version of Recovery and the tablet is completely wiped all the patitions (ie System, Data, Cache etc) using the Recovery tool.

If you don't, issues like what you described can occur.

I was trying to install the latest stable Xenon ROM on my Nexus 7 (2012) with 5.1.1 (LMY47V) but recovery is getting stuck after "Patching system files unconditionally..."

I have unlocked and rooted my Nexus 7. I tried via CWM recovery initially which threw some mount errors then I switched to TWRP via NRT and the mount errors were gone. I also tried formatting system, data, cache, dalvik-cache etc. but whatever I do updater gets stuck. If I reboot I get a bootloop (obvious).

I am new to Xenon ROM. Please guide me / point me to exact steps.

Thank you.

Edit 2:

OOPS - Sorry! MD5 mismatch! Please ignore. I am trying to flash again after downloading again.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] DJB628:
How do you know which one to download from all the authors ??
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bvahedy:
By far this is the most stable lollipop for Nexus7 That I have installed. Very fast and responsive. Did a factory reset and flashed the room and the gaaps (mini) and it all worked fine. Thanks to the developers for making this available.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] DJB628:
Which Mini Gapps did you install, the only one I saw in the OP was 500 Mb's, and in the OP which author did you install from, I see more then one, or am I missing something ?? Or are they simply all the same Rom but mirrored from different areas ?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bvahedy:
It's 236 mb from open gapps website called "open_gapps-arm-5.1-mini..."

Edited: I am sorry, I think when I tried the above gapps it gave me error04. This is the one that worked for me :

I am on XenonHD 01-11-15, Android 5.02, all F2FS. It works pretty well and have avoided messing with it for almost a year now.

I am ready to breathe some new life into my trusty old 2-12 Nexus 7.

To flash this rom, do I need to change any of my partitions from F2FS back to ext4?

how exactly is that done (if I have to do it?)

thanks and sorry about the newb-ish inquiry.

I just haven't flashed for a long time (after doing so obsessively since 2012)

edit:

sorry I just went back about 30 pages and read and see that the rom is all F2FS all I need is newest TWRP, teeny tiny Gapps, and a complete wipe of all. gonna go for it!

Trying to breathe life back into my wife's Nexus 7 2012 32gb Wifi Tablet. PLEASE HELP!!

Here's where I am so far:

1)Successfully installed Nexus Root Toolkit v2.1.0

2)Successfully unlocked bootloader (using one click) on Stock Android Lollipop 5.1.1

3)Successfully Rooted (I think? I have access to / directory from TWRP --> Install menu) installed custom recovery (TWRP) (using one click)

4)SuperSU Free not showing in App list but SuperUser menu showing under About Tablet

5)BusyBox not showing in App list but both SuperSU and Busybox Zips are showing in !ReadyToFlash folder on device

6)Flashed update-XenonHD-08-20-15-signed-grouper.zip

7)Flashed a few versions of Open Gapps with latest being open-gapps-arm-5.1-mini (234MB)

Upon booting up Xenon loads and seems to work fine (except no SuperSU or Busybox apps). But when I flash any version of Gapps including the one in step 7 above, and reboot, it boots and when I go to swipe to unlock the tablet, I am greeted with just a black screen. no app drawer, no icons, no wallpaper. i can swipe down from top though.

Any help would be appreciated!

I'm just looking for a good stable ROM to make this tablet useable for my non-techie wife!

Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] idivorceyou:
I just flashed this rom after running a january 2015 version all year.

It appears you have all you need - perhaps just reflash?

go to recovery.

do a standard wipe

flash the rom.

flash g-apps. (I went with a pico, not a micro: open_gapps-arm-5.1-pico-20151219.zip)

at first flash, I experienced a persistent Xenon bootscreen. I held down the power button, booted to recovery (manually - holding all 3 "hard" buttons), wiped everything, re flashed the rom, flashed the pico g-apps, and voila, no problem.

After logging into my Google account, it asked if I wanted to restore all my apps and preferences - wow what a great feature. thanks Google.

I was up and running in no time. This rom is great. fast, clean, zero problems, I've customized my interface - status bar, notification bar & Nova Launcher, exactly as I like.

I did not install busy box. I would work with what the rom lets you do before installing something else.

good luck!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bvahedy:
Make sure you have a good download, the Rom is very stable and fast.

Hung on XenonHD logo after flashing

I just flashed update-XenonHD-09-13-15-signed-grouper on my Nexus 7 2012, from recovery mode (following a factory reset/wipe cache partition/wipe Dalvik cache). The update seemed to complete, but the device has been sitting on the XenonHD boot logo screen for the last 15 minutes. How long should it usually stay on this screen before booting after flashing?

---------- Post added at 12:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 AM ----------

OK so I let it spin for 30 minutes, then gave up and repeated the flashing process. Same thing - it won't get past the spinning Xenon HD boot logo.

Any ideas??
[Nexus 7 Android Development] itm:
OK I worked out that TWRP needed to be flashed first - I finally got it to boot.

I have to say that this ROM is REALLY slow and laggy on my device - bordering on the un-usable. This seems to be at odds with other people's experience of this ROM. I did a full wipe before flashing, and flashed the pico gapps package. Does anyone have any tips for performance tuning??
[Nexus 7 Android Development] SteckDev:
So just wanted to follow up bvahedy which stable version are you using and do you think is the best for performance. I am on 5.1.1 and feel that it drags a bit with stock rom and want to bring back the power in this device. In what ways do you feel that this is better? Also do you think it lives up to the name of the description "blazing fast, rock stable and buttery smooth" for the Nexus 7 2012? :confused:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bvahedy:
currently I am running https://mirrors.c0urier.net/android...er/update-XenonHD-09-13-15-signed-grouper.zip

performance wise it's a lot better than other roms I have tried, I tried Marshmallow, it was faster than this rom but many times it had a hard time coming out of the doze mode and would go into coma.

3 years ago I was running PA Rom, that was one of the best and fastest rom I had run, but they stopped updating it so I decided to move on.

This ROM, thus far seems to be stable enough, I have not had any auto reboots like it's previous versions. There are times when the Rom comes out of sleep that it needs to run a few things in the background but that usually takes about 20-30 seconds.

As for the description "Blazing fast, and buttery smooth", I guess most of the time you can feel the smoothness and the speed. The layers options are nice but you are limited to a few of them out in the market. I Hope this info. is of some help.

Nexus 7 and Sleep of Death

I was so exited to install this rom and get rid of the SoD issue Nexus 7 2012 have with android 5.1 and 5.1.1 versions but this rom still suffers from it. I don't now what to do anymore. It's just a shame.

i just came here for saying a BIG THANK YOU!

my Nexus 7 2012 was about dying a slow death, a performance wasn't even existing anymore... i still used it for actually just 2 apps, the rest was not useable. i tried many things like Seeder, Trimmer, background process limitation for months and months... always with hope that it will get slightly better. also it was losing battery much too fast, charging took AGES, the device went hot or went off, stopped doing anything for minutes, didnt want to get back from sleep mode, ... i could go on and on... used a few ROMs (mostly CyanogenMod) during the years but it lost so much performance that i was about exchanging it with a new Android device.

i flashed Xenon HD with the open Pico gAPPS through newest TWRP and its as smooth and buttery as it is described!!! can't believe it!

been using it for a while now and i couldnt notice ANY problem of performance, its almost as fast as when i freshly bought it. its unbelievable. sure, its an old device, but anybody who experienced such problems will not believe his eyes how its literally RUNNING now. its charging MUCH faster, believe me when i say much, and its losing battery way slower - before, my Nexus didn't survive a whole night in sleep mode, now it didn't even lose 5% of battery!

had one bootloop because i didn't do a full wipe (my fault!) so always make sure doing that, i knew it was recommended but somehow i trusted the TWRP factory reset. its not enough.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU :laugh::laugh::laugh:

its really like having a new device back, i can finally do all the things on it again with absolutely smooth performance. hope it will last for some more time,...

thats a resurrection from the dead!

sorry, i have to make an update after now 6 weeks of constantly using Xenon HD on my Nexus 7 2012 wifi. the device is as slow and laggy as before, i'm really disappointed, because it ran so incredibly smooth and great for a couple of time. i can't give it another chance, gonna buy me a better one, after 3 rather unhappy years with my Nexus 7... probably nvidia Shield k1 with a strong CPU.

Hate to necro, but does anyone have a link to the latest build of the rom? The link in the OP seems dead. I'd love to try this out on my sluggish hand-me-down Nexus 7!

And I mean, if no one can find the link, maybe recommend me a good rom to flash? I tried DU 6.0.1 but it was waaay too slow, even with Parrot Mod installed.

XenonHD with F2FS

I flashed the following version

F2FS version by [MENTION=4770894]Libertunas[/MENTION]

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=25067

along with TWRP 3.0.2.0 (convert System, Data and Cache to F2FS using Advanced Wipe) and pico gapps.

Note that this is Android 5.0.2

I tried many other ROMS - all of them gave a dismal 2600 to 3200 score on Quadrant Standard.

XenonHD with Full F2FS scores on Quadrant range between 5800 to 7200.

It is getting sluggish though after loading a bunch of apps, don't know what I need to do to get back the snappy performance I saw after flashing the ROM.

Many thanks to Team Horizon, IceandFire and Libertunas.

Thank you for a great ROM for Nexus 7 2012! For a long time I had Multirom boot 5 versions of Android (4 to 6) and one Linux desktop, which was fun. But it all had become a bit old and slow so I decided to switch to one Android that would make the tablet more usable again, after which I started searching for a fast ROM.

Looks like XENONHD does the job, now the only ROM on my good old Nexus 7 2012! Thank you!

Hey guys, if this has already been posted then im sorry. I searched for it with no luck.

I have a g2x with cm7 nightly

Current mod:

CyanogenMod-7-20120715-NIGHTLY-p999

Current Kernel:

2.6.32.59-CM7-Faux123-050

Everything was great for awhile but now its starting to glitch a bit. So I am wanting to update to the newest nightly build. cm-7-20120805-NIGHTLY-p999. But I am unsure how to update without erasing everything that is on my phone right now. All the apps and settings I have for everything. I know I have to download the zip, put it on my sd card go though clockworkmod to add it to phone but is there another to do it so that I just update it without erasing everything?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] russell956956:
You can just download the ROM and copy it to your SD Card and then boot CWM and simply flash without wiping anything and all your settings and apps and everything else will stay there.

The only thing with this is that the stability of the ROM might be affected or it might not:p seeing as your just gonna flash a nightly over a nightly there shouldn't be any issues:D

Hope this helped!

The t-mobile version is very close to the at&t and other North American carriers version but it has a slightly different radio and video chip.

You root it the exact same way as at&t except when you enter recovery its slightly different; using the charger cable is part of the steps.

Thanks
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ve6ay:
That's part of it. Par of it probably also depends on your connection speed, usage of the internet services in your area, as well as those throughout the hops between your connection and theirs. It also depends on how many people are slamming their servers for the files at any given time.

I bought a like new Galaxy s2 off ebay, the phone was almost brand new but was open boxed. After having the phone for few months I had flashed a custom ROM on it, The PARADOX rom which had a grey looking theme. I overclocked the phone which was an option in the rom, it was clocked to the max and I kept it that way, 1.7mhz i believe. Either way I ran the phone like that for months with no problems. 2 weeks ago unknowingly I left the phone on a table with alittle water on it, it was dark so I couldnt see. I rushed to check the phone but the battery was dead and after taking off the battery cover I saw alil water inside, but not really much. I wanted to make sure the phone had no water damage b4 I turned it on so I opened up the phone and looked at the motherboard, other parts, ect... everthing seemed fine jus really dusty n dirty. Sure enough the thing powered on and worked...After a week later tho it stopped powering on, wouldn't charge or anything... I had the phone for less then a year and was still under Samsungs 1 year warranty. So I sent it in... I didnt know what samsung would say or if they would even honor their warranty. After sending it in, Here's what they said:

Original Problem:

TECHNICAL INQUIRY - POWER - WILL NOT POWER UP

Problem found:

WILL NOT CHARGE - LCD BLANK/SEG. MISSING/LINES - ESN CORRUPTED

Solution:

REPLACED LCD - REPLACED COMPONENT - REPLACED PBA

What I want to know is what all this means? and ESN CORRUPTED? My phone works fine with T-mobile, Could that have to do with the custom ROM ?
