Quick Tips!

Okay, so if you look through the Q&A thread here the number one issue that keeps popping up is "Help Bootloop!" and "Help I Think it's Bricked!"

So here is a quick guide that will most often fix these issue (90% of the time anyway)

First things first.... Drivers

So after drivers are up... Fastboot!

You can connect to PC and you know the commands.. but what to flash?

Congrats! You can reboot to a functioning tablet!

Anything I missed feel free to ask in this thread!

Happy Flashing!

Nexus 10

I've followed the instructions, unlocked the bootloader all the commands executed with "okay" but then on reboot the tablet is exactly like it's been from the get go, still showing user info and still showing all downloaded apps and updates, nothing works correctly. Thought maybe was a half installed update or virus. Nothing I've tried resets this to Factory. It's the Gtp 8110

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kerriganinks:
OS

Windows 7 64 bit. on several machines. I tried 3 diff systems same results, even tried the hated toolkits, but the bootloader locks on any reboot at all. Negating any changes, the fastboot at least didn't reboot so it said all commands were completed, but nothing actually changed. I'm having issues reading those verifications on the page to post, is there a way around that. I got the phone number to call this in to Samsung for service, something has it locked and I've wasted way too much of my life toward trying to work on someone else's tablet. I've used the flash method on several phones and tablets in the past, so not a complete novice, just know it's not giving the same results as for others because something's wrong with the tablet.

Nexus 10 Boot behavior

Hello forum gurus!

I have a question regarding the boot behavior of the Nexus 10 that you'll probably know something about.

I need to have the device boot straight to the android desktop after it's been plugged in while in an off state. Usually, most devices boot into a battery-charging screen when you apply power while they're off, then they top up the battery and go to sleep, waiting for you to press the power button.

I'm hoping there is a way to alter this behavior and get the device to boot into android's desktop straight up. I've seen this setting being changed between different ROMs and I'd like to hear your opinion how to get the change done.

This is for a project of mine, the way I see it, i'll be using a few of these tablets for an installation.

Thank you for your feedback in advance!

Best,

Stef
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Hi wheezardth

Unfortunately I can't answer your question directly as I have never attempted this. The boot sequence is controlled by the bootloader but I have often seen android devices with a custom recovery boot directly to recovery when being off and then plugging in. So this would mean that the bootloader must look to the kernel (which a recovery is a kernel) for some direction at this point.

It more than likely is possible to alter either the kernel partition or possibly the recovery to do exactly what you are after but how you implement this I can't say off hand. But I will say it is unwise to attempt to alter the bootloader itself so look to kernel ninjas for help on this one.

I'll talk with some people who may have an answer on this and get back to you and if you know any (they don't have to own a n10) ask them and see if they may have an answer

Best of luck and I'll let you know what I find

Please Help :)

Main issue: Unable to write to internal storage

Symptoms: Cannot write to external storage,

Google Play FC

Opening Gallery shows "no external storage available"

Opening camera shows "insert an SD card before using the camera"

Trying to open internal sd from ES file explorer storage/emulator/0 not found.

I installed Omni Rom. Then i changed to other roms which were already in the storage.I noticed I could not write to internal storage but i could read.I tried 3 roms then i switched to stock 4.4.2 and locked my bootloader. I heard installing a custom kernel may help so I tried flashing one but didnt help. I can install APK's through ADB but not otherwise.I cannot download anything also.

Currently im in stock 4.4.2 rooted bootloader unlocked.

My problem is different as i can install apk's that means the emmc is not corrupted? (Not sure)

Storage shows: 26.75 GB available Total : 27.30

Please help me :)
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

Did you try formatting your storage? I know that relocking the bootloader will format, but maybe you need to reformat with a PC or something... Make sure you didn't select a bad partition ;).

Sorry, but this issue is a little weird... And I can't help you too much, I'll think a little more, but hope this helps a little.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Not if using the factory image, you would still need to boot into recovery and flash superuser, then it would be rooted. Or boot to recovery and flash one of the many custom ROMs, all of which are prerooted

Really the only thing you need to do is unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery, then either flash a custom ROM or su
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thouston472:
thanks for the reply,

it looks like a 'catch 22' , but im sure its just that, i am seriously confused.

after reading several links, that link, to yet another linked guide.

i thought that i would use team win recovery project but it requires root. so thats a no go.

i checked a few others but same situation, require root to use.

could you/someone recomend a stable recovery or whatever i need.

...my head hurts, ill revisit this tomorrow.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iseekins:
Have a battery related question (I think).

My nexus 10 has had some difficulty charging with the micro USB slot, due to children yanking on it or possibly something else. I bought a POGO charger and was able to fully charge the tablet and turn it on two night nights ago. Yesterday while the tablet still had power (about 60%) I plugged the POGO charger back in and while it said it was charging, every time I would check on it the battery percentage would be less, even on airplane mode and the display off. Any suggestions on something I can try would be greatly appreciated.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maslelviz:
Have you tried rebooting or turning the tablet off? that could be some misbehaving app
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iseekins:
I have, even gone so far as to do a factory reset with no luck. Did find something interesting thought. If I turn the device off, enter the bootloader, and select shutdown, all with the cord plugged in. The tablet will not go to its charging screen like normally, but instead will just stay black, I found when its in the off position and only in this position will it charge. Kind of defeats the point of the POGO charger, as I wanted something that would charge my devise will I used it and not only when the device is off. Any chance it could be the cable or does it sound like an issue with the device?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynnux:
I had a similar problem to yours. Would only charge with the pogo charger, would often indicate it was charging even when it wasn't, eventually it would only charge when it got to 0% and only when turned off, and even then only some of the time, would charge very slow and discharge fast, etc. The way I could tell if it was really charging or not was that the charger would get hot when charging (real hot), stay cold when not charging.

I replaced the battery, and nothing changed. Did 3 cycles of charging to 100%and discharging to 0%, nothing changed, virtually stopped using it for a few days, and then suddenly it was back to normal. It even charges with the regular cable now.

I still don't know whether it was a software issue, or if it needed a new battery that had to be conditioned.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

It seems to be a hardware issue.. There has been some people who already complained about their battery starting to fail, so I think the battery they've put in Nexus 10 isn't exactly durable. So yes, I think you would need a new battery. Before getting it though, is trying to use another charger instead of the Nexus 10 stock charger, like your phone charger.

All the best,

Unlocked, not rooted, PC not detecting

[FIXED] - I had to manually update ADB drivers via Nexus10Root package/instructions.

Hey all,

I have rooted my N10 before but, I think when Lollipop came out, I reverted back to stock to get the OTA update. I am trying to root again using CF-Auto-Root or Skipsoft's Nexus Toolkit but I'm having detection issues - even though I downloaded and installed Android SDK as well as the drivers via Skipsoft's Toolkit. SuperSU does not detect root, also.

About Tablet Build Information

Bootloader info:

Product Name: manta

Variant: wifi

H/W Version: 8

Bootloader Version: MANTALJ12

Lock State: Unlocked

Reboot Mode Flag: None

CF-Auto-Loot hangs on 'Waiting for Device' and Toolkit cannot detect my build, nor device information.

I may be missing something very obvious but I try to follow steps very carefully.

Thanks for any help

TWRP Crashes

I'm attempting to save my Nexus 10 and bring it back to life. Current end goal is using the Lineage OS

I originally was having battery issues. Bought & installed new battery. Did a factory reset. All seems to be working well, but when going through updates and personalization, it crashes after maybe 10 minutes of usage. Once it crashes, it will not make it past the swirling colored dots. It gets stuck in a boot loop trying to load Android.

This has lead me to try out a custom ROM for increased stability.

DISCLAIMER: I am a total noob at all of this, but have been struggle-bussing my way through with guides and tutorials.

The only way to get my n10 to boot up is to flash the factory image. I was able to do this to enable developer options and USB debugging. From there, I installed the latest version of TWRP and this is where my most current problem lies.

When booting into TWRP, my screen will start flickering like it can barely handle the program and then when it stays solid, ill go to wipe, choose what i want wiped, slide the bar over to confirm, and flicker flicker CRASH.

Every. Single. Time.

Ive been scouring forums for more info on this, but it doesn't seem that many/any people are having this particular problem. Figured I'd try and start a conversation about it.

Nexus 10 Fastboot Problem

Hi,

I just got a Nexus 10. So I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP, booted TWRP and then tried to reboot to Android (didn't change anything, stayed stock). It didn't boot, just lingered on the bootanimation for quite some time. Kept on retrying, nothing happened. So I tried to boot into fastboot and flash stock image from AOSP website, but it didn't work... just said "press any key to continue." Any fastboot command returns "<waiting for any device>." Tried all USB ports, many cables, didn't get anywhere. Now I'm out of ideas, and decided to plug it in to the charger and give it the whole night to try and boot Android..

I've had quite a bit of experience with Android hacking, and TWRP and Fastboot were always there to help.. Now I can't even access those..

Details:

Windows 10 64-bit

Android 5.1.1

I'm pretty scared right now..

Any help is deeply appreciated.

Thanks

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
No worries, this can be confusing at first but luckily nexus devices are simple

fastboot oem unlock

fastboot flash recovery anyrecovery.img

(Yes twrp, cwm, stock, just so long as its for the n10 - I highly recommend twrp)

Now boot to new recovery, here you will find that when you unlocked your device it wiped all partitions, so of course prior to the first step back all up, but now you need a ROM, I highly recommend a custom ROM here, and for simplicity let's go with slimkat (link for ROM and gapps in dev thread)

You will go to advanced settings in twrp

Choose adb sideload

adb sideload nameofrom.img

When complete

adb sideload nameofgapps.img

And when complete reboot

Now you are running slimkat, one of many awesome custom ROMs, you are fully rooted and have a custom recovery to make backups and flash new ROMs etc

Best of luck! If you need more help feel free to ask or run a couple searches or watch a YouTube video for visual

You'll get it in no time!
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thouston472:
thanks again,

still have a some questions. you mentioned backing up. i understand the importance of a good backup in the windows environment. however my nexus device is still basically out of box, nothing to really backup except a non-critical gmail account.

do you mean backup before i flash anything, or right after i flash the recovery, but before i use the adb sideload command?

i have downloaded twrp, slimkat, and gapps from their sites. but stll not sure i have everything i need. i have the following:

the recovery image: openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.1-manta.img

the rom: Slim-manta-4.4.2.build.4-OFFICIAL-3659.zip

gapps: Slim_AIO_gapps.4.4.2.build.4.zip

for the rom, do i use the file in the slim zip called boot.img?

in the gapps zip i was unable to find any .img files, dont have a clue what to use.

obviously im stil not putting it all together
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Oops, my previous post on adb sideload I messed up, those are .zip at the end of the command not .img, sorry for confusion.

So being you have nothing of value to back do not worry about it, in the future, when changing ROMs, steps should be as such

Boot to recovery

Backup

Wipe

Install

But for now don't worry about backup

Those are the correct files but For simplistic sake, rename them to

recovery.img

rom.zip

gapps.zip

So commands will then be

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Then in the recovery

adb sideload rom.zip

adb sideload gapps.zip
