[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wajed:
Hi.

I know Nexus 7 is great all around, (except for the SD-card thing), compared to NC; but what about the screen? Is readability the same when comparing the two screens, or is the NC better?

I want to get Nexus 7, since there is a problem with my NC screen (it's scatched, and so it goes mad often and I have to clean every bit of it to get it to work back again every time); but I'm afraid the N7's screen isn't good as NC's? Which is better for reading? Is the difference big?

This is what happens :

1. When I normally turn my N7 on , it goes throught the google logo and gets stuck on the ROM logo .

2. I can get into the bootloader when the USB is plugged off , but i cant get into recovery it just gets stuck on the google logo .

3.If I plug my USB in while in the bootloader the bootloader gets stucked and i cant move around in it or flash anything , but my PC recognize that an android device is connected . (if i get into the bootloader when the USB is allready connected it gets in the bootloader main screen but i cant move) .

So i cant flash , get into the rom or return to stock .

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najaboy:
Definitely not bricked since of powers on. Fastboot flash the stock image and you should be good as new.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brGabriel:
Strange, it shouldn't make a difference whether your USB is plugged or not when trying to get to the recovery.

If you get into the fast boot menu or "boot loader main screen" and you press the volume down button a few times you get no response? Sometimes it takes a few seconds for mine to switch to recovery,etc.

Also, what caused your tablet to get stuck in that state?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkiller51:
If I press the volum dowm bottom while on fast boot menu I can move around the menu if the usb is plugged off , but I can only shutdown or restart the fastboot since the start and recovery options just gets stuck on the google/rom logo :( if it is plugged in I just gets stuck in the menu and I cant even scroll . yea I waited about half an hour on the google logo trying to get to my recovery and nothing happened .

I JUST DONT KNOW WHAT I DID ! I really dont ! I am an experienced flahser and had been so for almost 2 years now ! I just left my N7 on the table and didnt touch it at all for a week and when I tried to turn it on after that I just got that prob . but I did nothing related to flashing or so - it just happened by staying at the table !

any help ?? :( PLEASE :confused:

I CANT RETURN TO STOCK , if i plugg in the usb fastboot gets stuck .
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wright0101:
have you tried charging it on the wall charger to make sure the battery has got a full charge, don't know, just throwing out options
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brGabriel:
Hmmm, well at least you're able to boot the tablet and get to fastboot menu so its not a hard brick. Sounds like a corrupted partition of sorts if you can't get into ROM or recovery. Someone with more expertise might have a possible solution. I wouldn't lose hope yet.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkiller51:
yes , i did charged it to full batt .

i can get into fastboot but not rom or recovery and when i plugg in usb i have no fastboot , doesnt that mean i wont ever be able to flash ?

if i will make a vid of the prob it will help ?

Get to boot loader and do

fastboot flash recovery C:\File path to recovery on computer

Once you have a recovery installed you can push a ROM to your Nexus via adb.

I really appreciate any kind of help, but why even write and answer when you didnt even fully read the question ?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMan459:
Lol just calm down man we're all just trying to help you!

Now, you need to get your N7 into the bootloader, it does not matter if you can't navigate the bootloader on your N7. Once in the bootloader, connect the N7 to your computer with the USB cable.

Once you're connected, make sure you've downloaded the Android SDK and open a command prompt. Navigate your command prompt (make sure you ran that command prompt as administrator) to the "platform-tools" directory.

Once in the platform-tools directory run the following command without quotes:

"fastboot devices"

It should return the serial number for your device, indicating that fastboot sees your N7 and can work with it.

After that type

"fastboot flash recovery *.img"

You'll need to head to clockworkmod.com to download the N7 recovery image. Place the downloaded image in the platform-tools directory and replace "*.img" with the filename of the recovery image you downloaded.

That's it! Unplug your N7 and go into recovery, and sideload whatever ROM you want!

Let us know how it goes!

PS: If fastboot devices shows nothing, we have a bigger problem...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkiller51:
Its hard to be calm then you new N7 is dying :/

somthing like this ? (pic attached)

If i did everything like you said it means i do have the bigger prob :( help me!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMan459:
OK. Next thing is to ensure your N7 is properly detected in Windows.

Just head to the device manager. You should see Original Android Interface or something along those lines.

Report back with a screenshot, those are very helpful!

From the same command Window, in the same platform - tools directory, does adb devices show your device?

I'm not the lowest of the low, but I am the slowest of the slow.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkiller51:
You mean writing "adb devices" in the same directory ?

No, it shows "list of davices" and shows nothing below :/
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exglynco:
I should have clarified. You have to be in the ROM boot lockup to communicate with your Nexus 7 using adb. You have to be in the bootloader to communicate with your Nexus 7 using fastboot. When your Windows PC sees the Android device, are you in the ROM boot lockup, or the bootloader? If it's in the ROM boot lockup, try the adb devices command. If it's in bootloader, try fastboot devices. One of the two should work, since your PC sees the Nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkiller51:
Thanks , and by the "ROM boot lockup" you mean the ROM boot screen ? the 1 after the google logo ?

Edit :eek:K thanks ! i did that while in the ROM boot screan and now got a huge long list but now my PC recognizes that it is a N7 and not just "android device" ! i have no idea what the list says or what to do now , can i get some help mate ? :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exglynco:
Yes, the ROM boot screen . No, we cannot proceed until you've found a way to push commands to your Nexus 7. Either fastboot devices or adb devices has to return a single line containing a serial number and the word fastboot or device. The page and a half of adb commands isn't what we're looking for.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buffnutz1:
I used to worry about this because right after I rooted it when I got it, I noticed I couldn't boot into recovery unless I used the Rom Manager app to reboot into it. I eventually did the 4.2 update which unrooted it, then I rerooted it with the TWR and now it works perfectly. Like they said, use one of the rooting programs and if I were you I'd unroot it, update then switch like I did. Boots into TWR everytime now.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkiller51:
So you mean i am fully bricked ? what are my options ?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exglynco:
No, you're not bricked. Let's start with the basics. When you attempt to boot, do you see the Google name with an unlocked bootloader icon below it, or just the word Google?

Then, tell us what is on the screen when it freezes.

Boot it as far as you can, disconnected. Put your Windows PC in device manager, and plug the Nexus 7 in. What is the name of the device that shows up? Does it have drivers installed for it?

Open a command window, go to the platform - tools subdirectory, and enter adb devices. What response do you get?

Boot it disconnected into the bootloader. Again, with your PC in device manager, plug your N7 in, and tell us the name of the device that shows up, and whether it has drivers installed for it.

Then try the fastboot devices command and tell us what happens.

I'm not the lowest of the low, but I am the slowest of the slow.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkiller51:
I get it with the Google name with an unlocked bootloader icon below it .

it freezes on the ROMs logo .

The device name thats shows is N7 , IDK if it had drivers installed - it doesnt say .

I get an ampty devices list with the abd command , it says "list of devices attached" and below is nothing .

in the fastboot mode - the device manager shows my N7 as an "android" and drivers are uninstalled .

The fastboot devices command just doesnt do nothing .

Thats everything you need mate ? :confused: IDK whats going on :(

But i am gratefull :good:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iElvis:
Just curious, do you have the Asus drivers installed? Maybe try reinstalling them?

I definitely looks like something got corrupted somewhere.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exglynco:
It's looking grim now. Did you use a toolkit to root your N7? Which one? Reinstall Nexus 7 drivers on your PC using the toolkit, and retry the adb devices and fastboot devices commands in the ROM boot and fastboot modes, respectively.

We have to get your PC communicating with your N7 somehow.

I'm not the lowest of the low, but I am the slowest of the slow.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkiller51:
I used this toolkit while i was in windows 7 and now I am on windows 8 and idk if that works ..

Anyway I reinstalled them , tryed both commands and nothing .

My next step ?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exglynco:
Find another Win7 computer and install the toolkit on it, or figure out if your win8 computer can connect to a working Nexus 7, then try again.

I'm not the lowest of the low, but I am the slowest of the slow.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altimax98:
So from here you are going to want to either 1: download the recovery you want to use and then push it to the device using fastboot flash recovery "your-recovery-name".img and that will get you into your recovery and good to start again.

The other option 2: is to do fastboot flash system system.img then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img then reboot.

If all goes well you will have a stock ROM but your data 'should' be safe. Then you can flash a new recovery and flash some roms

**** download the fastboot files from Google and unzip them to do the fastboot flashes

i set it so datas are off when screen is off and on when screen is on.

so i turn my phone on, datas take smth like 5 to 10 seconds to enable, everything normal till here, then the small H or G appear meaning i'm connected through 3G, but even then, i'm still offline... i wait, and wait 5 mins, but still, the H or G is visible on top right of my screen but.. no data.

i disable juice defender, restart my phone, didn't solve.

then i uninstall it completely, restard my phone, and everything works fine again...
