Nexus Player stuck in bootanimation after rooting

I'm able to flash the Marshmallow 6.0.0 MRA58N image using the NRT 2.1.0, but after flashing the 3 zips (perm-recover-signed, SuperSU-2.52 and busybox-signed) in the root flash folder, the Nexus Player gets stuck in the bootanimation. If I flash the ROM back, the Nexus Player boots right away without any issues, of course, without root. I experienced a similar problem with my Nexus 7 2013 with the first release of the NRT 2.07.

Btw, in order to flash these files with TWRP you need a mouse (I'm using a Logitech wireless keyboard with an integrated trackpad) in order to select the options in TWRP recovery and to swipe the arrow to the right in order to flash the selected files. (The swiping can be a little tricky)

The OP has not updated the website for the new Toolkit version. However it helped folks like me who are not familiar with Linux commands to upgrade the tablet to the current level. Thanks for the OP for the excellent job and to the community.

Awesome thanks, I've managed to adb command to unlock that's not a problem. But it's just trying to get It to root. I know there's other ways to root, but if I mess up I always use your program to fix my nexus if it explodes lol :P

Loving the work. Thanks dude!

...UPDATE: Replacing MoBo fixes "Stuck on Google screen"!

...yeah, it's official. You could hit the Nexus 7 until you break the thing in half to try to fix this, but the short about it is that the best way is to replace the MoBo to solve the problem.

With this: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Nexus+7+2nd+Generation+Motherboard+Replacement/36967

Once replaced, I held my breath when it got past the Google screen into Android 5.1.1! As predicted by madbat99, it looks like the previous owner bricked it by doing the Lollipop upgrade.

It's a bit of a risk to buy a used MoBo on eBay, but hey, it was a $28 gamble (alongside a $45 impulse Craigslist purchase) in which I ultimately came out on top. Hastily went through the NRT to unlock and root. Added a custom Marshmallow and wham-o!

I dunno, this was worth it for me, but could be a potential nightmare for others.

Good luck!

need a little help

Its been a while since i had to do this stuff so i got rusty. I got a new nexus 7 2013 and trying to get to version 4.4.4 I have wugfresh tool kit and can unlock bootoader but having trouble getting tablet to 4.4.4 . I am not sure which files to get to have a rooted 4.4.4 using Wug's toolkit. Also not sure of the method to go about it. Please help.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] madbat99:
The toolkit gets all the files for you. Just make the selections in it. Pick your device and build and click root. But also, newer nexus 7's (2013) that shipped with lollipop already installed cannot be downgraded to 4.4.4. Nothing below 5.0. Why not just update to 6.0 marshmallow and root it?

No sdcard files

So I've just tried to root my nexus 7 2013 using this, im running MRA58V and followed all the instructions, I've unlocked the bootloader too, however i get to far and it tells me to manually install the root files in TWRP, which is cool i thought, but i press install and go to sdcard and there is nothing there. i'm using v2.1.0 to do this, i thought the problem was fixed, what can i do?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] madbat99:
You have to navigate to the right folder. Did the toolkit push the files to your device? Check in you files for the folder root files, to see if they are there.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] NRadonich:
There has been an issue with 6.0 and trying to access the file system with TWRP. You have to find and download the Multi-ROM version of TWRP which works

The backup/restore option in this tool, does it back up all the apps and save data for stuff like games as well?

I think I've read that you need the multirom (?) TWRP to flash.

I'm still waiting on a deb build from PNP, so I can't be sure.

First, thank you for all your work over the years. Second, I finally upgraded my "razor" for Nexus 7 [2013] (Wi-Fi) from 5.1.1 (LMY47V) to 6.0.1 (MMB29K). After rooting and installing custom recovery process, the busybox app was not installed. So, I installed busybox from googleplay, restarted my Nexus, and everything seems to working. Is this a known bug?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Spudsicles:
So I'm trying to root my brothers N7 2013 on 6.0.1... and I did this with my tablet a couple weeks ago and it worked fine. Now it won't even download the root kernel and the SuperSU 2.62 is missing when downloaded. Is this happening to anyone else?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] storkpkp:
I think I have found the TWRP you are referring to, but how do I use it instead of the one the program downloads and looks for?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] madbat99:
Just download the multirom one. If its an img file, just flash it with wugs. In advanced utilities, select fastboot flash recovery image and choose the one you downloaded. If its a .zip file, extract the img file and follow the same procedure.

I'm also seeing the issue where "fastboot getvar unlocked" retries five times and fails. I'm on v2.1.1 and using a Nexus 7 (2013)

[EDIT]Also, after clicking cancel on the popup after the 5th try, the tablet reboots, but then NRT becomes unresponsive. It's not frozen--the buttons can still be clicked, but they do nothing, and I have to kill the process via task manager to start over.

Alright, I'm looking for some serious help after pulling my old N7 2013 out of a dusty corner. I've spent all day going in circles trying to get my 5.0.2 rooted N7 back onto stock firmware and unrooted. The issue I'm having is the device only shows up in the toolkit as ADB offline. The toolkit updated on its own when I first opened it, I've done factory resets, fresh device driver installs per the toolkits instructions more times than I can count, I've tried reinstalling the android SDK tools from googles website, and I've tried a dedicated ADB/Fastboot updating tool I found somewhere else online while googling about "ADB device offline". I'll admit I'm a little out of practice with all of this, and its been a while since I've even touched this tablet. I've tried everything I can think to try and really just want this tablet back into a factory stock state on the most recent firmware. I'm willing to try whatever advice I can, and will possibly need guidance in just clearing my PC of all tools and drivers to try and get this done from a fresh start. I'm quite frustrated and looking for any help or guidance I can get, so I thank you all in advance.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] NRadonich:
Did you make sure that USB Debugging was enabled on the tablet? Should be the very first step.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] kyoungs3:
yes, usb debugging is enabled. I toggled it off/on and retried the toolkit quite a few times per a recommendation in the toolkits instructions. no luck.

is there any other way that I'm not considering to be able to bypass this adb offline nonsense, and somehow flash a stock file?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Coronado is dead:
Are you trying on a USB 3.0 port? I would uninstall all device drivers, adb, reset, reinstall device drivers, reinstall adb, and then try a USB 2.0 port if I had one. Otherwise try at least a different USB port. My laptop hates seeing my N7 ( but will if i swap ports a few times) but a few ports on my desktop work every time.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] kyoungs3:
Everything I've tried today has been on a USB 2.0 port, as I read people have issues with 3.0 ports. My laptop only has 1x 2.0 and 1x 3.0 port so switching 2.0 ports isn't an option. I have uninstalled as much as I can find relating to anything android; platform tools, SDK manager, wugfresh toolkit, .Android folder, adb/fastboot .exe's, device drivers with the device mtp settings switched on and off, and same with USB debugging on/off, just getting rid of as much as I can to try and start fresh.

What do you recommend I download to keep this process as streamlined as possible without downloading a bunch of extra unnecessary things?

Have you tried putting the device in fastboot/bootloader mode, then using the soft brick bootloop option in the toolkit?

You shouldn't need to download any extra files outside of wugs toolkit, it does all that.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] dbldown7:
Since you're asking for suggestions... I used to get pretty messed up trying to get adb to recognize my device if I didn't disable mtp. I can't remember Lollipop as I've been on marshmallow for awhile, but it should be under Setting>Storage>menu (the three dots in the upper right hand corner.) If your device is set to recognize a USB connection as MTP, then adb won't recognize it.

At the last loading of TWRP can you navigate to the SuperSU-v2.46.zip and the busybox-signed.zip and the select them then install them at that point. This would be done from the phone within TWRP. Another point is that when you exit TWRP to boot to the Android OS TWRP will try to get you to install an older version of SuperSU do not let it do this.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] cas0586:
There is nothing there after pressing install in TWRP. TWRP seems to be looking for sdcard and not mmc. Of course the Nexus 7 2013 has no sdcard.

Well, no go with that TWRP multirom. At least with NRT. It only gets this far...

Then the ADB Recovery device not found prompt.

Though clicking install in TWRP does show the internal memory.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] dlkile:
Yes, you can use the Advanced Utilities Launch button then under Fastboot Flash choose Recovery, then under Choose Recovery Image choose Other button and point it to the Mod Recovery file you downloaded.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] cas0586:
I appreciate the help! Alright. Bear with me. Let me a bit more clear. Do not change the recovery image in NRT options. Instead go to Advanced Utilities/Launch/FastBoot Flash/Recovery and choose Other and select the multirom image? Just to verify.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] dlkile:
I choose to install multirom Advanced Utilities/Launch/FastBoot Flash/Recovery and this made it my permanent. You could also go to the folder of the version of flash you are trying to install and rename recovery.img to something else and then copy the multirom version of the file to this location and rename it to recovery.img so that NRT finds the file. I have not tried that method though.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] cas0586:
Alright. I did just that. Then was prompted:

[IMG="Procedure Complete"]http://i.imgur.com/hQTfWdnl.jpg[/IMG]

So, I used Quick Tools 'Reboot Recovery' button. Device rebooted and opened to the android guy with a red exclamation point. Sat there for a brief time and then rebooted regularly into the system.

Where to from here? Or did something not go correctly? As I said first time attempting this so please bear with me. Also my apologies for the cellphone pictures screenshots. I am not a native windows user so rather than installing unneeded software it is easier.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] dlkile:
If you booted into recovery mode and got the Android guy with a red exclamation point. Then this is stock recovery, sound like TWRP is not installed. If TWRP was installed and you booted into recovery mode you would get TeamWin TWRP and at the top of the option window you should see MultiROM TWRP 2015-03-28 (v2.8.6)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] cas0586:
Interesting. I turned tablet off and did it manually. Selected Recovery and hit power. Same thing. Android guy with red exclamation point. Though the prompt said it was installed? Shall I redownload the file and try the same procedure again? There is an option that says,"Also flash 'perm-recovery-signed.zip" on the menu before choosing 'other'. Should this be checked or no?

There are two versions of MultiROM one for Wi-Fi and one for LTE are you sure you downloaded the correct version?

"Also flash 'perm-recovery-signed.zip" it's been awhile since I did this, however I think I left this checked. I maybe that without this it resorts back to stock recovery after reboot.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] cas0586:
Yes. Downloaded the WiFi version of the multirom image. Alright, I will try it with unchecking that box? Will cause no harm?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] dlkile:
Try with box checked with the Wi-Fi version.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] cas0586:
Alright. I did that. Also tried renaming the image to 'system'. Same results. Then found another multirom image 2015-06-30. I tried it with the same results.

Could using NRT the 'normal' way previously have some sort effect on this? I don't see why this would not be working properly. Again, thanks for all your help. It is much appreciated!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] dlkile:
I flashed mine the normal way, and then when I could not root if I check to see that all the root files where on my SDram and they where. So I found the MultiROM and installed it as my recovery. Then booted into recovery and installed the root files. So it should work this way. You may want to try to do a complete clean reflash and then start over. You may have noticed that NRT does a temporary install of TWRP when it tries to root you device. I finds this in Custom_Recovery/TWRP folder file name is twrp-2.8.7.0-flo.img. You could try to copy MultiROM to this folder and rename it to twrp-2.8.7.0-flo.img so NFT uses it instead. We are getting low on options here.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] cas0586:
Alright. I will try a couple more things this evening. Will post back results tomorrow. It is getting a bit late here and not something to get frustrated over! Thanks for your help thus far!

I do not blame you one bit, goodnight!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] cas0586:
Well it seems replacing the twrp-2.8.7.0-flo with the multirom image and renaming it got me all the way through NRT rooting. I saw the tablet run a script. Only to end up with a boot loop.

[IMG="root"]http://i.imgur.com/r0Ecrmcl.jpg[/IMG]

Tablet has been sitting about five minutes booting... now maybe I should have just quit...:confused: Shall I leave it for a few more minutes. Is this typical or this a boot loop?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] dlkile:
I would let it site for awhile and see what happen 15 minutes I would think should do it. If still in boot loop then try a shutdown and reboot. I have heard of some folks having for shutdown and reboot up to three time to get out of it. If that does not get you to normal mode then maybe it is time to start over with a clean install. Seems like you are getting closer to the right path. You can use NRT Soft-Brick/Bootloop mode to reflash. Luke, may the force be with you!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] cas0586:
Thanks man. Will report back tomorrow. Enough for the evening. Thanks again!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] madbat99:
Once it flashed the multirom twrp, do not let it boot to system. It must boot straight to recovery to prevent stock recovery from being re installed. No renaming. All the files were transferred to your tablet. Just use advanced tools. Flash recovery (multirom one if you need it) and make sure it boots right to recovery. After it flashed, if it is still in bootloader mode, select recovery. It should boot twrp. Select the files in the ready to flash folder to install. Install the perm recovery one, and the SuperSU one and install. Done.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] dlkile:
So you have finally achieved Root? So now that everything is complete and you are rooted, if you boot into recovery mode is it Stock Recovery or TeamWin Recovery?
