[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ltracte:
I think i may have bricked my nexus 10.. I was trying to install the chainfire3d application from the market, and when it rebooted, it wouldnt go past the X logo. waited for a long time, so i tried a hard reset, and still nothing. So i figured i would try using the toolkit to help fix. tried to relock, flash, and re-unlock, and it wouldnt work..after the step where you go into factory reset/wipe, it woudlnt go further. I cant get a custom recovery to install, it wont save the file. tried doing that step separately, and it seems to stick on sending the file over. this seems to be a common issue with anything i try.

The screen says:

"sending TWRP touch recovery..

sending 'recovery' (7246 KB) ...

and is just stuck there. this seems to happen in several places, with a few different things ive tried. When trying to flash the stock image, it will get stuck in similar places, perhaps not with the recovery step, but with a portion of the stock image. Been at this for a couple of hours... any help would be greatly appreciated!.

Also, as of now... it wont boot past the google logo. I can get it into fastboot by holding down the buttons, and I can get it into the stock recovery, but thats it. I don't even think adb is detecting the device. I have a feeling that may be a major roadblock to getting this thing fixed. Does anyone know how I can get the tablet to be detected by adb if i cant even get past the google logo screen at boot?

Update 1:

Still cant unbrick my device. any time i try to transfer or flash files to it... it stalls, and if i disconnect the device, i get this error:

FAILED (data transfer failure (too many links)).

Your Device will now boot into Android and detect ADB mode.

problem is, it doesnt reboot, and even if it did, it wouldnt be able to boot into android, since it wont go past the google logo when the device turns on. in fact, i cant even turn it off. only way to turn it off would be to wait for the battery to drain.

If this helps, here is what it says on the fastboot screen:

Device Information

Product Name: manta

Variant: wifi

H/W version : 8

Bootloader Version: MANTALJ12

Carrier Info: none

Serial Number: *********** (not going to publish that, lol)

LOCK STATE: Unlocked

Reboot Mode Flag: none.

anyone have any ideas at all how I can salvage this thing? Im kindof embarrassed honestly. Ive had 5 android devices prior to this one, and have rooted, flashed, and reflashed each of them countless times, and never, ever ran into this before. I could really use the help.

Quick note:

I just noticed that when i try to flash anything to the tablet, the following appears under the rest of the info i listed above.

FASTBOOT STATUS - DATA00713800 (this text is highlighted in light blue)

Update 2

:

ok, so i tried to do the factory restore, and am running into the same wall as always. here is the text from the window, perhaps that may clue you into the problem:
