[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lopri:
Getting stuck on boot screen occasionally occur on 4.3. It seems like an OS issue not the hardware issue. I have seen it once or twice on my stock non-rooted Nexus 4 running 4.3. Never happened on 4.1~4.2.

On the other hand, if you have rooted your 4.3 device, the chance of ****up at boot rises dramatically. The toolkit is, while an admirable work, not perfect and you have no one but to blame yourself.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] malanois:
Ok... so I tried every flipping option at my disposal including everything the Nexus Toolkit had to offer and nothing helped. And just to make it clear... MY DEVICE WAS NOT ROOTED. It was completely stock... both of them were.

So off I went and exchanged it for Nexus #3. This is my 3rd Nexus in less than a week. So far, none have survived 4.3 (at least that is what I'm contributing it to).

This time, I'm rooting it... what the hell difference does it make at this point. I was very satisfied with my 1st gen Nexus but I'm very disappointed with the 2nd gen at this point.

If this one bricks then I'm done with it!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] malanois:
UPDATE - So, my 3rd N7 bricked last night. I was able to recover thanks to Nexus Toolkit. This time I rooted the device so the recovery was possible. After recovery I started to install one app at a time to see if I could figure out if there was an app causing it. I installed Lookout Mobile Security and then it bricked shortly thereafter. Other than the default Google apps, Lookout is the only other app I installed.

Anyone else have Lookout on their N7 when it bricked?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mrsnaa:
I just got mine yesterday and only used 20 min, after automatic system update, it restarts. Then i checked the "about phone" it restarted automatically, then it stuck at X screen. I tried every possible thing, press power on 20+ sec, power up+ volume down start/shutdown, power on+ volume up, but it says "no command". So i can't choose "USB debugging mode" etc.

But you guys advicing to do factory settings, but how? i only can enter fastboot, recovery mode says "no command".
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] DaPhang:
From that "no command", you need to hold the power button then press the volume up. Then a menu will come up for you to select wipe/factory reset etc.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] malanois:
My first two N7 2nd Gens did this exact thing and nothing I tried worked. Holding volume up and power at the same time just boots you back to the "no command" (with the droid laying down and a red exclamation). You can try the Nexus Toolkit (if you have a nexus) and see if you have any luck with recovery... I did not.

Ultimately, I had to take my device back and exchange it. Actually, twice! The 3rd one, I rooted right out of the box so when it bricked I was able to recover it.

The only thing I can contribute it to (at the moment) is Lookout Mobile Security. Once I removed that, it hasn't crashed... yet!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] rogerquake:
I had my Nexus get stuck at X last week, but it eventually booted into the OS. Although it booted, I was getting force closes, so I did a system wipe and it fixed it... I had a custom recovery and I was also rooted.

Last night, I went to turn on my Nexus and it was stuck at X again! This time, I went ahead and flashed the stock Android 4.3 image from Google on the device along with allowing it to do a full wipe. After that, I used the tool on this site to root and install a custom recovery. Let's see how long I go without an issue now!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mrsnaa:
Someone taught me exact way, and it worked. Now my nexus 7 flo work like a charm. Thank you too.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Anthonok:
Happened to me today. Just wouldn't start after I rebooted. Forced to do a reset. This needs to get some attention. Winner if it's hardware or software. Probably hardware
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] player911:
When you boot and get to the droid laying down, you press VolDown+Power to load up the recovery where you can wipe and use ADB commands. You can always get to fastboot mode too for unlocking and flashing a new recovery or stock image.

I think some of these are flashed bad at the factory. Seems a reflash of the stock image or CM will fix most of the issues. Flashing CM will fix the reboots for sure.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] harleyxlc:
Mine did it once and a reboot fixed it. The second time, almost everything I tried didn't work.

When you get to the "no command", then you have to press the power and Vol +. Release after a second or two and you will get another menu where you can clean cache (which did not fix mine) and hard reset (which did).

I wasn't happy about a hard reset and actually this was probably the only time i do wish it had an sd card for backup settings.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] player911:
There is a fix discussed in the other threads. And its Power+VolUp as said by someone else. I misspoke in my previous post. You don't hold them down. Its quick if you do it right. Just tap both at the same time.

From there you have to wipe to fix the bootloop.

The cause is your stock images are corrupted. This causes random reboots (whether you notice them or not). During the random reboots, your user data gets corrupted and makes it unable to boot.

The solution is to reflash the Google supplied factory image or a CM based rom. Many people are reporting this is a good fix until Google updates.

I think the problem came from the original original build our N7s shipped with, then pile on 2 updates, and something goes wonky. The Google supplied image is the final build (no updates) and no reboots.

Some have had to flash CM then flash back to stock to really clear it out. Flashing stock should format all partitions but never hurts to flash a CM real quick then jump back. CM works great too. I havent heard of any CM users rebooting.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Omar04:
The last two times it happened to me just a wipe to cache fixed it. Give it try first if still don't boot try the rest of tips.

And remember don't panic it's not rocket science, just hold power + volume up from the X logo and when no command appears just again press power + volume up, boom recovery. Simple!

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] chrisis37:
So I got a nexus 7 1st gen from walmart the other day and it worked great until it tried to update to 4.3.. After it failed to update i restarted it and it was stuck on the stupid X forever.. So I did a factory reset doing it exactly the same way you guys say to do it on here, it still is stuck on the X screen after rebooting. Any Ideas as to why the factory reset didn't work or to fix it?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] davast:
Another Nexus 7 stuck on x loading screen

Hello everyone, I have my grandson’s Nexus 7 2012 model (out of warranty) as it would not switch on or power up. I am not sure what version software is on it, but he has had it over 12 months & it is the stock rom.

After reading various web sites, it seemed apparent that the battery was not charging. I took off the back cover & pulled out the power supply from the power cradle & reconnected it. Put the back cover on, connected the device to the docking station, switched it on & got the google name up then the four colours X logo.

Found a youtube video from “The First Resistance” that showed how to “wipe data/factory reset”. I followed all the instructions, from Restart Bootloader to Recovery Mode & Wipe Data/Factory Reset & finishing with rebooting the system, but when I power the device on I still end up with the four colours X loading screen. I have done this 3 times now and still cannot get away from the X loading screen.

The only difference I have on the Fastboot Mode screen is I have 8 lines of info, he has 10 lines of info.

His extra lines are:

Bootloader Version

Secure Boot - enabled(in green text)

His SIGNING line = yes, my SIGNING line = not defined yet.

His LOCK STATE - LOCKED in white text, my LOCK STATE - LOCKED in red text

On the third try, I also actioned the “wipe cache partition” as well, but no joy.

I have a MacBookAir using OSX Mavericks 10.9.1 and I have tried to link over usb to the Nexus 7, but nothing shows up on my MBA. I have followed a few threads with similar problems but I do not understand some of the terminology used. Haven’t done any ROM flashing since my iPaq 2210 days.

Can any one help with how I get out of this loop please?

factory reset does not work

i am having the same problem since getting my nexus..i try to factory reset..but it is not helpin on getting my device back..keep stucking on the x logo again..just that sometime it reboot as usual..please help me..i am on the latest android version which is 4.4.2..help!!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Tugainformation:
Unfortunately it happens, I bought a nexus and after some boot ups it freezed on the X page, I recomend for all of those who have a nexus to install MoboRobo in your computer and to do a backup every week, or to use titanium backup if you want to save games like candy crush saga, it's a small problem with a huge impact on the consumers, the only solution for this problem is to do a factory reset through the recovery mode, with a shortcut, if you don't want to risk (stupid thing, sorry for the language) and want to take to asus they will tell you that is a problem created by you and will charge you 200$ to fix, but they will not fix a thing, they will only do a factory reset and after a wile it will probably happen again

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Littleazn248:
After rooting my phone the first Rom I flashed was Viper Rom after doing that I flashed CM10.1. By doing that I got this weird folder 0. I read up on it and it seems normal. Contained inside that folder is a ViperRom folder containing voltage zip. etc. That ViperRom cannot be deleted. I tried everything and it just won't get deleted. Any suggestions please help.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mzel:
Is it write enabled? If it is write protected you won't be able to delete it.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Rirere:
If you are using TWRP, you can use the file manager to kill that folder. You could also try searching and posting in the "revert from 4.2 AOSP to 4.1 Sense" thread, which may help you understand what the 0 folder is.

If you're describing the full order in which you did things correctly, then your flash of CM10.1 would have moved your data to the /0, the first user's virtual sdcard, and subsequently left that folder (with user permissions still intact) after the flash(es) completed. It can't be removed from within the OS unless you unset permissions.

Yes, but this is only true because you are on bootloader 10.6.1.8. If you upgrade to a newer like 10.6.1.15.3 you will need TWRP 2.5.0.0-4.2.

Nah not really a fix, but it does illustrate the importance of correctly matching bootloader and TWRP version. A very useful table was posted by pjc21 in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2195883

To recapitulate - for Android 4.2 you must match

- bootloader 10.6.1.8 with TWRP 2.4.4.0-4.2

- bootloader 10.6.1.15.3 with TWRP 2.5.0.0-4.2

As far as I have seen the latest bootloader 10.6.1.27.1 can be used with both TWRP 2.5.0.0-4.2 and 2.6.0.0-4.2, but I have not tested this.

Eventually was able to sideload a Rom to my phone. Now I get constant bootloops. Before running into problems, I was running an aosp Rom.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] flex360:
make sure you do a full wipe, including data and system

and make sure you flashed the right rom
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Rirere:
Sideload "a ROM"? Running "an AOSP ROM"?

You're going to have to give a lot more information if you expect to be helped. For example, if the ROM you're trying to sideload is GSM based, that could cause bootloops. If your ROM is now a 4.1-based Sense ROM and you came from 4.2-based AOSP, you could be bootlooping. Until you actually say what you're doing, there's not a lot anyone can say other than RUU.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] bleichtman:
i was running an aosp 4.3 that was running perfect. then i flashed a new kernel that the dev said would work for that rom. it was then that the problems began. the bootloops began and then no other rom seemed to flash properly. i had already updated to the new firmware so there is no ruu option for me it seems.

There is no VLC Web Plugin in the extensions menu under preferences. Not sure where else to look to set default handling of media files in Chrome.
