[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] busterdan:
I think I have fried my Nexus 7.... didn't even think about what I did how stupid am I....

I decided to wire up a Hella connector to a USB cable the idea being to plug it into my phone for charging on the road... I then had a not so smart idea to use my OTG cable to connect the USB A connector to my Nexus 7 to see if it worked...

Nexus 7 booted past the bootloader and then nothing.... I realised then how stupid I had just been...and still nothing...

Presumably I've run a shed load of power down one of the data line..... what a fool.....

ARGH!!!!!!! anything I can possibly do to salvage it.... please!! :crying::crying::crying:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chiwou:
you could try something ASUS support told me, press all buttons (volume + & -, power) for 30 seconds, and if it won't boot after that, you should get a RMA
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najaboy:
Going the RMA route would be costly. If it is dead, he'd be better off just bring a new N7.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] busterdan:
Thanks for the suggestion but no it hasn't worked...

I've had the N7 plugged into the charger for the last 30 minutes or so and when I went back to it the screen backlight was on slightly (you can see if you look at the screen from the side)... but the whole unit was really really hot... I've obviously disconnected it but now can't get the thing to turn off, if I hold down the power button the screen flicks off but then back on.

:crying::crying::crying::crying:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
I would think that "broken display” units on eBay/CL probably have working mobos and batteries, as the owners are trying to dump them because of the broken screen. But, buying used is a crap shoot.

Nice that Google is selling N7s at cost (or even a loss) - but it does mean that any oem component replacements will be a significant fraction of the original price.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Groid:
I was reading in Play Books when my N7 shut down due to low battery. I plugged it in and it wouldn't charge or boot and I noticed a faint light bleed and faint dots streaming from right to left on the display. I tried things like holding the power button for 30 seconds to reset, holding vol down and power to try to get to recovery, but it wouldn't take. Finally, with it plugged in, I held down the power button for just about 10 seconds and backlight and dots stopped. A few seconds later without pressing anything, it booted up. It would start to charge, but if the screen timed out, I was back to the earlier state and it wouldn't come on. So I got it started again and immediately went to developer options and checked Stay Awake while plugged in. Eventually the charge built up and I'm back to normal, at least my N7 is normal. I only mention this because the OP talked about the faint backlight and it may be worth trying.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClotzA:
A standard hella charger outputs 5V at 2A which is the same as your N7 original wall charger.

I doubt your problem came from the charger, it might be softbrick at an unfortunately moment.

I came across a similar problem when i was editing a custom kernel.

If you tried every method to shut down the device and failed do the following:

1. Open the case (it's quite easy to open with a plastic card)

http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing+Nexus+7+Battery/9895/1

2. Unplug the battery and hold the power button 30 seconds (with the battery detached)

3. Let it soak for 10 minutes

4. Reconnect the battery and close the lid.

5. Put your nexus 7 in the wall charger, and you should see the battery bar on the screen.

After that, let it charge a few minutes and boot the device.
[General Questions and Answers] S1lent Echoes:
Hi all, I have an Android tablet (Diablotek D2-721, very cheap I know, but it serves its purpose) that is stuck in a boot loop. The real problem here is that this device apparently does not have any sort of recovery mode and being in a boot loop means it does not get recognized by ADB or any firmware flashing software.

I researched all day yesterday perusing forum after forum but almost every single solution requires booting into recovery. Is anyone able to shed any light and tell me what my options might be at this point?

Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] rfernandezm:
Maybe you can try to flash a recovery like CWM via ODIN.

Just my 2 cents!!
[General Questions and Answers] S1lent Echoes:
No, I cannot flash anything because the tablet refuses to talk to my computer while in this boot loop. I tried ADB, Odin, and the manufacturer's flashing tool but nothing would register the device as being connected. Plus I set up a second operating system and tried doing all of the same things on Windows 7 because Windows 8 has been problematic with drivers but it still made no difference. Still, thanks for the suggestion. x.O

The matter is null now. I just took it back and got another tablet, one with a recovery mode.

For anyone searching on this D2-721 tablet, be wary because with no recovery mode available it is very hard if nigh impossible to recover from a lot of things normally recoverable from any Android device. I tried for two days and spent hours pouring through forums but in the end my computer just could not talk to the tablet while in a boot loop. And trust me, I tried everything.

Thanks for the responses and help, it was appreciated.

Is there any solution to run FM Radio on 10.1? I tried with Spirit FM, but not works.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] bantamref:
sometimes when I come back to my device it has defaulted to media player. It is only a little annoying but does anyone know why this happens and how to resolve?? Thanks
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
not sure what you mean by defaulted to mediaplayer

if you mean that it will display media player and not today

then you can just close mediaplayer

if it's not running in the background i doubt it will start up

you can close mediaplayer by

entering memory under settings and stop the running programs you dont want to run any more

or you could install a taskmanager like

Hi guys,

I downloaded the Sense 5 EX ROM and flashed it, I've done a Factory Reset, System wipe, Cache wipe and Dalvik cache wipe before I install the new ROM.

The problem is the phone just got stuck on the bootscreen (I wait more than 10 minute). I've tried flashing it a few times more but the problem still persist. Any help? Taking out MicroSD is not an option for now.

Hey, bbb, awesome idea to put up a thread like that so everything is on its place, good work. ;) :thumbup:

Also, i want to ask, do you maybe know if its possible to flash .smali files with vrtheme? I guess not but, just to check.

Sent from SpeedMachine i9100
[Galaxy S II General] bombaybadboy:
Thankyou m8, afaik you cant use vrtheme for a single smali but I think you can use to replace classes.dex. Spannaa is really good with vrtheme, I only have used 1 once
[Galaxy S II General] Spannaa:
Correct ;)

If you're using VRThemes, the whole classes.dex has to be replaced if you change even a single character in a single smali file.

Similarly, the whole resources.arsc has to be replaced if you change anything in the \res\values folder.
[Galaxy S II General] alen1901:
So i cant extract only .smali files and put them in vrtheme like i do xmls. I need to place whole apk and classes.dex?

Sent from SpeedMachine i9100
[Galaxy S II General] Spannaa:
Just classes.dex

Say you mod a smali in SystemUI.apk, you just add classes.dex from the recompiled apk to the vrtheme\preload\symlink\system\app\SystemUI.apk\ folder
