OK, found the problem. Turns out my /data partition somehow became corrupted or it really is somehow stuck in encrypted. But then if it was still encrypted I should be able to format it.

Anyone know how to completely erase the phone and re partition it and then be able to re install stock?

Have you had any luck with it?? I am pretty much facing the same problem... thing is I can't even access recovery...

solved encryption block

Hello!

I have just been able to fix my phone which was stuck in encryption and it would not accept the password. I also had problems accessing recovery.

I have posted the whole story here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2482143

In a nutshell:

1. Flashed stock ROM (got it in SamMobile)

2.Odin flashed Philz recovery (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2002953)

3. went to Mounts and Storage -> format /data and /data media

4. did wipe data/factory

5. re-flashed stock ROM

6. it still asked for password on boot but now from Stock recovery wipe data/factory and cache

7. Re-boot and encryption was gone with a perfectly working phone

The fundamental step here was number 3 with Philz recovery because after that it could finally mount /data and access internal memory.

good luck and let me know if you need details on any of the steps.

Also if u are not afraid of losing data the try kies emergency frimware restore method

1 go to frimware and intillition in tools

2 enter model no the S/N no it written on phones back

3 reboot into download mode and connect and follow instructions

This will work if u are at 4.1.2 but if u have upgraded and are stuck at knox bootloader then kies wont flash

Also it will delete all data and upgrade your phone to the latest version available

For starters I use titanium backup and backup the ROM for extra insurance.

Secondly I installed http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2501393 V2 of this because its the latest Samsung based Rom (4.3 but Not AOSP Cyangenmod), I've had few problems since and why not?

However I've only had it running 2 days but its already brought back my phone.

Through research this is apparently relayed to the eMMC dying.

So this may be a hard ware issue as well.

Try the ROM though, make sure you backup BEFORE you do and tell me if it helped.

PS

Also I've yet to check Bluetooth, so that might not work and it doesn't fix the problem were having. Its more like a bandaid, it works well though. I was able to get my mobile network connected and its way faster than 4.1.2 which I suffered a lot of lag due to the error were facing.

[Nexus 10 General] Junebugapril:
I got a Nexus 10 in April. I just got it replaced; it had issues. The replacement is new, never opened. It was bought at the Google Play Store. Do you think I can transfer the warranty to the person who buys it from me? I have a nice case and an HDMI cord. I will probably put it on eBay.

Samsung's website says they only warranty it to the "first consumer purchaser".

I guess Google Play is the only option? Do you think they will transfer the warranty?

Thanks!

Junebug
[Nexus 10 General] jamaaal:
only people who buy it directly from google get the 1 year warranty. and most likely the same as for samsung.

but, why do you want to get rid of your n10?
[Nexus 10 General] Junebugapril:
Well.... I love the new Nexus 7. The 10 is a little big for me. Plus, it really had issues. I guess I'll find out if the nexus 7 has issues too.

I thought there was done way to transfer the warranty. Or wil lSamsung honor it?
[Nexus 10 General] SeaFractor:
I know of NO original manufacturer warranty for the Nexus 10 that is transferable. Some products, after market warranty extensions, are transferable but must be purchased at the same time as the Nexus 10. Cannot add them after the fact, usually.

So other than being new, you can't offer any kind of warranty through ebay, unless "you" want to be the provider for the purchaser. Meaning they return it to you and you deal with the warranty like you still owned the tab.

Not worth the hassle.
[Nexus 10 General] duke_stix:
correction...

you CAN transfer the warranty - i bought my nexus 4 through ebay - i got the receipt with it too, all it involved was ringing up Google Play for Devices, telling them that you've just been given a Nexus 4/7/10 as a gift, heres the receipt number - and thats it. since then i'm on my third replacement nexus 4

i'm pretty sure you should be able to do this with the nexus 10 too as its the same google play store!

(I am in the UK though - although it did sound like I was being put across to the US)
[Nexus 10 General] Junebugapril:
Thanks Duke. I thought so. Also, the Nexus 10 is new in the box, so I think Samsung puts a 1 year warranty in the box. There is also an order number on it from the Google Play store.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] harryhoudini66:
Hi guys,

First, thanks in advance for your help. I have a question or clarification. I did try numerous Google searches as well as searches in these forums and I could not find a clear answer. The question is as follows.

How do I get rid of the custom recovery and go back to the factory recovery?

I found an article and completed all steps with the exception of “locking” the boot loader. When I press the power button and volume button, I still get the TWRP Recovery. Would locking the boot loader disable the TWRP custom recovery and revert to the factory recovery? A couple times I got the little Android guy with the exclamation point.

I apologize for the newb question. It just was not clear in the article and I could not find any information online. If this is not the way, can someone direct me to an article or let me know what I may have done wrong?

I restart my Nexus by pressing the Power Button and Volume down button at the same time. I then select "Recovery" from the menu. I see the text Google flash and then I am greeted with the Android guy on the floor with the exclamation point. Is this normal? Maybe I just dont know how the stock recovery looks?

[Sony Xperia ZL] Crash338:
Hey guys,

So I bought a USB OTG Adapter Cable just so I can pair my PS3 controller to my ZL using the stock Sony ROM. It pairs without problems and I can use it via Bluetooth. But when trying to play games such as Crazy Taxi, it doesn't work. Only the triangle button acts as a back button. The gas or steering don't work. The only game I got working was "Reckless Racing". I don't get it, I know that Crazy Taxi is supposed to work with the PS3 controller, there's a ton of YouTube video's of people showing how well it works.

Is there something else besides pairing the PS3 controller I need to do, like button configuration somewhere?

I'm running the stock Sony ROM on build 244, rooted....if it makes a difference.

Hoping someone has a solution for this...

Thanx

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] TheMrcool212:
Flash any custom kernel, as it stands as "boot" partition.

Or just flash the boot image manually from the factory image:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Then flash TWRP like normally you did before:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] opticaldh:
If you can go to bootloader or TWP, then you have many choices to fix your Nexus.

1. Download a factory image from Google, boot to bootloader and flash the whole thing. And remember to download the right factory image for Nexus 7(2013) (flo or razor). Check MD5 after downloading to make sure everything is OK. If you dont know how to flash a factory image, there is a couple topics in General and Q&A to assist you.

2. Or you can download a custom kernel in the Original Development area. THen boot to TWRP, use ADB to push the custom kernel file to your device, then install it by TWRP.

3. You can use a toolkit which I dont recommend.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mattj7:
Ok, so in my frantic attempts to fix this, I was trying to get adb sideload to work and was told to try and do a factory reset and wipe system and internal storage. I did this and still can't figure out how to get sideloading to work, I'm trying adb sideload rom.zip, and adb push rom.zip /sdcard which is what I read from another thread, but have not been able to get the factory image over.

Also, when I go to flash the .img that came with the factory image, fasboot says:

<code>sending 'boot' <2100 KB>....

OKAY [ 0.080s]

writing 'boot'...

FAILED <remote: image is not a boot image>

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mattj7:
OH GOD!

Download the Factory Image of Android 4.3 for ‘razor’ Nexus 7 tablet from here.

> this download contains the full system, bootloader, recovery and kernel boot img files.

Extract the ‘tgz’ factory image archive and place all contents into a single folder.

Next, you will need to edit a file so that your data will not be wiped. If you want to wipe data then you should skip this step.

> so, edit the ‘flash-all.bat’ for Windows or ‘flash-all.sh’ for Mac / Linux using a text editing tool:

- you will need to edit the ‘fastboot update’ command so that it will transform from ‘fastboot -w update image-razor-jss15j.zip’ into ‘fastboot update image-razor-jss15j.zip’. You will basically need to delete the ‘-w’ text, which is the command that tells fastboot to wipe data from your device.

- continue to the next step when you’re sure that the ‘-w’ text has been removed.

Now, power off your Nexus 7 2013 tablet.

Boot it into Bootloader Mode.

Connect it with your computer via USB cable.

Run the ‘flash-all’ script and wait for the factory image to be successfully installed.

Ok, so I did this, I downloaded the factory image, and ran the flash all command and that failed and now it's hard bricked! here is a screenshot of what the flash-all command output...

I will seriously pay someone to help me fix this at this point! I'm freaking out!

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sfhub:
You must have done something wrong. The boot.img that came with the factory restore is 6880KB not 2100KB.

Take things slow. You are still in a place where you can recover. If you make too many mistakes, you can make it even harder to recover.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] TheMrcool212:
Never mind, the problem had been solved.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mattj7:
Yes, it was the factory image for the first nexus 7, I just ran the flash all on the right one and now I can boot just fine

Ok guys, great job everyone!

Now I'm going to figure out if the custom recovery is still there, it probably isn't, and I can just flash it with fastboot now.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Sib64:
The only way is by the fastboot way, because it's an .img file ;)

And don't forget that you can find all files that you need to this thread => [Index] REPO for all you need for your nexus 7 FLO (2013)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Nburnes:
Well, that is untrue. The bootloader .img is just a collection of other .img that get flashed to their respective partitions, such as aboot, sbl1, sbl2, sbl2b, sbl3, sbl3b, and rpm. :good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Sib64:
Please I don't agree when you say it's untrue.

For most users, this is the easiest solution for this.

If you do a survey, I would like to see how many people know that you can flash by other means
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sfhub:
Well, I know you can flash by other means.

I don't think he said it was the easiest to flash from twrp. He just said it could be done, which it can.

I think far more people have done it through recovery than have known they have done it.

Everyone who flashes the JSS15J OTA will get the bootloader flashed in the way he described. If twrp is using the same kernel as stock recovery, then it can be done in twrp also.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Nburnes:
I'm not personally attacking you or anything and I am sorry if you took it that way.

I'm just stating that saying fastboot is the only way is not true. The partitions can easily be flashed through CWM/TWRP as they have been with, from my experience, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, and Nexus 7 (2012).
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Sib64:
No problem ;)

But as I said, almost users don't flashed by the way of the partitions.

It would be better to say the easiest way ;)
