Did you ever think about that this phone has a quad core processor that throttles at 70 degrees Celsius. That's 158F. Where's the heat going to go? Surely the heat will go somewhere but it will heat up the plastic somewhat.

FYI: shouldn't sleep with your phone under your pillow.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brad3626:
My N7 "2012" kept freezing, so I put it in bootloader and tried to do a recovery mode reset to stock. It froze during the process.

Now, the only thing I can do is get it into bootloader mode manually by holding the buttons. It frezes if I choose any of the options from the bootloader screen including restarting the bootloader from the bootloader screen without holding power and volume.

I have tried the Nexus Root Toolkit a bunch of times with the "flash stock + unroot (soft bricked)" feature, testing different factory builds and the best results are below:

I have read forums and tried things that people suggested to others in similar situations, but I am pretty lost at this point. Keep in mind that my device is almost certainly wiped and definitely will not boot the OS.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erovia:
Is your N7 the Wi-Fi or the 3G variant?

What was the name of the factory image you were trying to flash?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adomol:
After doing a bit of research, I've found out that there is a BAD version of the N7 2012 bootloader 4.23 floating around. The unsettling thing is that it's being supplied with a couple of the factory images that come straight from from the Google android devolpers page online. Anyway to make a long story short, I would try flashing the working version of the bootloader first off, then go from there with a factory reset. You can download the the working bootloader (bootloader-grouper-4.23.img) HERE --> h t t p : / / g o o . g l / q A D S A z (sorry about the spaces in the url, I'm new to the forum and can't post links yet, just delete the spaces)

BTW, its the same bootloader for N7 wifi OR 3G. md5 = df53028033c9eccf4fe5ba7bc198ce24

Here's how to install using fastboot:

1. Reboot To Your Bootloader On You Nexus 7 (Power off power button and volume down until you see bootloader screen)

2. Connect Your Nexus 7 To Your Computer

3. Open Up Command Prompt or terminal window (not sure if you are using windows/mac/linux)

4. CD to where you downloaded bootloader-grouper-4.23.img

5. Then type:

fastboot devices (to see if your N7 is connected correctly)

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-4.23.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Then try the factory reset again.

If you don't have fastboot installed your computer you need it. Makes flashing your N7 a breeze... lock/unlock, custom recovery installs, going back to factory stock, all much more easy with fastboot.

You can get it from the android devolper site, h t t p : / / g o o . g l / 2 q p r for windows/mac/linux. All you need is the SDK tools, not the ADT bundle.

Do you have a valid warranty for the N7? I'm asking because it seems that your N7's internal memory got corrupted. I might not be right, but that's my best guess.

hello

please help

n7 (2012) on cm11 nightly started random freeze a couple of days ago

this morning, stuck at 'google' logo, blank screen on trying to boot recovery

tried to read similar cases, decided on factory image KOT49H

stress, no power backup, scheduled loadshedding (in my city, country)

i am not sure if i typed 'fastboot erase boot' OR 'fastboot erase bootloader'

but when it came to flashing the bootloader, it came with an error.

then i read that that particlar bootloader had an error, but.. i downloaded 3 different images

and i still am failing to flash. please note i have not rebooted for fear that i may have, my mistake,

erased the bootloader. i am streesed specially because i am not sure how long i will be able to keep

up the power supply (loadshedding..)

thanks

[HTC Droid DNA] cunningStunts:
I unfortunately have fallen victim to inexperience. I thought I could figure this out again, but it's been too long since I've rooted anything.

I did the rumrunner unlock, and that all went well. I then downloaded the viper rom, and from there my progress stopped.

Followed instructions for rumrunner, all worked, ended up on the bootloader screen.

Went and downloaded the Viper rom.

Tried to find my phone through my PC, but it wasn't available. So I used the bootloader menu to select recovery, as the directions VIA the Viper how-to.

The phone turned off, and ended up in a screen with a red triangle screen and wouldn't respond at all. No buttons worked, holding down any of them did nothing but make the bottom 3 icons flash.

So I unplugged my phone from the computer, and it turns on now, but to a normal home screen. I cannot figure out how to get back into the bootloader screen.

I did put the extracted Viper rom file into the download folder in my DNA, but I haven't been able to get past the issue of entering recovery to start wiping material.
[HTC Droid DNA] webeougher:
You went to the stock Android recovery, which tells me you need to install a custom recovery. Find the threads for either Philz CWM Advanced or TWRP 2.6.3 beta and follow those directions, although you're going to need to set up ADB and make sure it's working. You won't be able to install a custom recovery without your computer recognizing your phone in fastboot mode.
[HTC Droid DNA] cunningStunts:

I tried using SWAP if you mean the same. It's possible even on stock kernel. Boosted my RAM upto 3GB but hardly could notice any difference. 1080p videos still wasn't playing smooth.

Expanding ram will not make phone play 1080p videos instantly...its merely CPU GPU stuff.....it can only provide some more space to run apps!!

[Sony Xperia L] GuestK0034:
Ya figured that! the reason 1080p videos doesn't work is because Sony underclocked the processor to 1ghz. As we have seen in custom kernels overclocking helps in 1080p video playback

Well I don't think playing a 1080p video on a non HD screen gives a better viewing experiance

I have already upgraded the Radio Stack to 6.24.20 (Complete with the side excursion around the 1% GSM Upgrade failure) with no noticible improvement. I am likely going to try RS 6.25.02.

found the RSU updates at the ftp site:

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Wallaby/

Which version is the latest? The A. version or 6.25? Which is most stable?

For all of you getting a 1% error when trying to load any of the 6.24 .25 updates (or others), make sure you put all of the extracted files in the windows directory on your mobile device. Whenever I put them anywhere else I get the 1% error and the program closes. When I put it in the windows dir I get 100% completion with 6.25 and A. versions. Soft reset when update is done to activate phone.

Still testing. I'll get back to you on stability, performance, etc.
