Stock unrooted and bricked? Help - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

So today I had a problem with an app not opening correctly so I rebooted the device. The device was stuck in the kit kat boot sequence. I turned it off and charged it. Tried booting to no avail. So I go into stock recovery mode and wiped cache and then proceeded to wipe/factory reset. It then got stuck on factory reset. I let it sit there on the charger for awhile and it was still stuck on factory reset. So i rebooted to attempt again. Now it won't even go into recovery mode. It'll boot to the fastboot screen but when trying to go into recovery it gets stuck on the white Google logo. Is there anything I can do or do I need to send it back? I bought it in July-ish so it should still be on warranty.

It should be easy to restore the stock ROM. Do you have the device drivers installed and a copy of fastboot?
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...ng-fast-adb-fastboot-and-driver-installation/
Boot your Nexus 7 to the fastboot screen, then connect it to your PC. Open a command prompt window with administrator privileges, cd to the fastboot directory (let me know if you need help here), then type the following commands:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
This will wipe everything on your Nexus 7, preparing it for a full flash of the stock recovery and ROM. You can download the stock ROM from here, and there's a "flash-all.bat" file inside that will restore recovery and the ROM all by itself.

when trying any commands in adb it says waiting for device and hangs on that.

Use adb if your tablet is booted into Android, and use fastboot if you're only at the bootloader.
Do you have the drivers installed? At a command prompt (again must be administrator permissions), type "fastboot devices" and see if it gives a response.

fastboot devices does nothing. I am in the fastboot directory. I thought I had the drivers installed, but in device manager it shows up as Android with an exclamation mark

OK, that explains it. Delete the driver by hitting Del, and just to be safe, click "View" at the top, then select to show hidden devices. Delete anything else that might be for any Android devices. Then install the drivers I linked to. They're generic drivers that work with either Nexus 7 generation, plus other Nexus devices.

Couldn't you just try to boot a recovery IMG?
fastboot boot recovery path/to/recovery.img
That will let you run recovery without flashing it

Erasing boot shouldn't take too long. Hopefully the partition isn't damaged.
SwoRNLeaDejZ, I believe he couldn't get into recovery. For problems like this, I like to erase recovery and everything else anyway, especially since flash-all.bat will restore stock recovery as part of the process.

no commands work. on erase recovery command it says failed command write failed invalid argument
edit: fastboot boot recovery fails also "command write failed unknown error"
edit: i get a lot of fastboot.exe has stopped working errors on windows. redownloaded platform tools and still happens. I'm at a loss I guess I have to get Google to replace it entirely

I may have taken something for granted. Did you unlock the bootloader?
fastboot oem unlock

no and whats funny is I just got done trying that before i read your message. i restarted the device and my computer and just decided to see if it would dirty flash the flash-all.bat and it was actually going through not giving the write errors but did say bootloader is locked. so i typed fastboot oem unlock and the screen popped up on the device to say yes or no. i selected yes and it, again, got stuck for 10-15 minutes on erasing data...rebooted the device, unlock appears to have failed. argh

If you power down and reboot back into the bootloader, it still says unlocked? What if you try unlocking again?

it says the bootloader is locked. i am trying again right now. i get to the yes no screen, select yes and on the command prompt it is stuck on erasing userdata

I've never seen it take very long. Let it sit for a while, maybe plug it in and just wait?

ill let it sit, but i think there is something wrong with the device. i had a similar prob with a gs2 and it wouldnt erase or write anything to partition. would usb debugging have to have already been enabled? i cant remember if that was checked or not. or does that matter?

USB debugging is necessary for connecting once the tablet has booted into Android, but it isn't needed for fastboot and the bootloader level. At this point I fear there's more corruption than can be fixed, but let's wait a little while and see.

Just received an email from Google support. They are unwilling to help because I purchased the device from Best Buy rather than Google Play...WTH? Best Buy won't help either I won't even bother. At this point I'll have to hope Asus will take it in for repair. That kind of bummed me out about Google. Not sure if I want to buy another nexus device again now.

Is Google writing the book "How Not to Stand Behind Your Product"? Sheesh!
Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Good luck and speedy repairs to you. I must admit that with the touchscreen problems, and that it took someone who isn't a Google employee to fix it for a lot of people, all while Google is still silent, I myself don't care to buy another product by Google and/or Asus.

Anyone other than the OP try this yet? If so, what state were you starting from (cwm installed, which custom rom etc) and did it work? did you need to do anything differently?
It works, can confirm!!
1. copy the extracted rom folder to clockworkmod\backup\maguro_4.0.1 on your internal storage
2. boot in too cwm
3. (what i do) in mount and storage menu, format system/data/cache
4. install super wipe lite zip file
5. restore the maguro_4.0.1 rom
phone boot up, everything fine, first run wizard start..
6. reboot to fastboot
7. flash the stock recovery "fastboot flash recovery recover.img"
8. boot in to recovery to test
9. reboot the phone
i didnt lock the bootloader while i will only root the device and other things let on stock.
i came from unlocked bootloader, clockworkmod recovery and android revolution hd rom..
Brilliant news.
I've updated the tutorial to include the latest updates

Even on a jailbroken iPhone, when you do a factory reset you get all your settings reset but the phone is still jailbroken.
Same thing applies with Android. You need to flash the stock files to get back to stock.
@evostance
Another possibility (as yours relies on having access to a backup/nandroid as well as somehow being able to access the SDCARD partition) which some people may not have
would be Peter Alfonsos "return to stock"way

Did you try running the adb commands that jmcclue listed above while in hboot?
Maybe try running fastboot commands such as "fastboot devices" to see if its recognized.

You dont do "adb fastboot devices". You do "fastboot devices"
adb only works when phone is booted or stuck at boot animation, thats why i said try turning on phone then try adb while it bootloops r stuck at splash screen but his phone boots straight into bootloader. Also there is no command for fastboot to reboot recovery. Personally i would take phone apart and clean buttons, worth a shot.
@ op what boes it say in ur bootloader ?

Would fastboot work without selecting it in hboot? If fastboot is able to detect the phone, then he can use "fastboot boot recovery.img" to boot into a touch based recovery like 4ext (without actually flashing it).
Heres his bootloader:

Check your android-sdk/platform-tools/ directory to make sure the fastboot.exe is there.
If its not there, redownload the sdk and setup adb/fastboot using this guide. Also make sure you install these fastboot drivers
Then try "fastboot devices" again and hope that the phone shows up. If it does you can boot a recovery by doing this:
-Download the 4ext recovery img from here
-Extract the zip and put the recovery img in your android-sdk/platform-tools/ directory
-Run "fastboot boot recovery.img"
If its not showing up in fastboot im not really sure that you have any options, other than to do what jmcclue suggested.

[Q] Bootloader access but no PC access - Help!

Hi guys,
Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. I've searched around but can't find anyone with quite the same issue as myself.
I returned to my desk at work to find that my nexus 7 2013, latest stock Android OS installed, was stuck on the Google logo screen. It was switched on previously and charging via my work PC at the time.
A few points about what is happening with the Nexus:
I can get to the bootloader but it says "E: failed to mount /cache (invalid arguement), E: can't mount /cache recovery log, E: can't open /cache recovery/log..." you get the idea
The third line from the end says "e: failed closing /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc (i/o error), e: failed to mount cache (invalid arguement).
if I select wipe cache from the bootloader I see the same error
I selected wipe data and this seems to work, before giving me the above error again
I've seen about the Wugfresh and Unified toolkit and I have tried them. But the big problem seems to be that neither my work PC or home laptop detects that my Nexus is plugged into them via USB. If I could solve that I think I'd be able to restore, right?
I'm also really intrigued as to how this happened. I've never rooted this Nexus. The most advanced thing I've done with it is to install Nova Launcher and that was over 6 months ago. Weird how it can just suddenly go wrong.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Just to add, with the Wug/Nexus Toolkit I've been through the driver installation program and whilst I can get the ADB Interface driver to install, when I'm in the bootloader the Nexus doesn't show in Device Manager and using the "Soft-bricked" option and then "Flash Stock + Unroot" I get an error that no fastboot device could be found.
Have you checked your control panel inside device manager? Your nexus 7 could be listed as a unknown device under other devices, or listed as a nexus 7.

If so. it's a matter of just installing the right drivers, you can install the official Google drivers and choose the bootloader driver when installing.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
If you get some compatibility error while installing the drivers, just ignore it and continue.
edit: just noticed your 2nd post. nevermind.

Thanks for trying! Yep, nothing shows up if I'm in bootloader mode.
I've installed the adb interface driver and if I reboot the Nexus and leave it for a while *sometimes* an "Android Device" will display in Device Manager.
All the instructions say enable USB debugging, disable MTP but I can't do that because it won't turn on! I am pretty much saying this - "I installed the drivers but it still says ADB/Fastboot device not found! What should I do?" which is a page on wugfresh, but I'm new and can't post links- but even this doesn't cover if the device won't boot at all.

I've installed the adb interface driver and if I reboot the Nexus and leave it for a while *sometimes* an "Android Device" will display in Device Manager.
All the instructions say enable USB debugging, disable MTP but I can't do that because it won't turn on! I am pretty much saying this - "I installed the drivers but it still says ADB/Fastboot device not found! What should I do?" which is a page on wugfresh, but I'm new and can't post links- but even this doesn't cover if the device won't boot at all.

Ok, I was being dumb.
I was starting up using power+volume up. Realised power+volume down gets me to bootloader and that I was in recovery mode before.
So I used the Wugfresh "Flash Stock and Unroot" option. This seemed to be going well except I get told my bootloader is locked.
The I tried to use the Unlocker tool in Wugfresh. This tells me it can't detect an ADB device, but when I hit cancel the unlock bootloader screen opens. And then hangs when I select unlock!
What can I try next?!
Do you know how to use ADB manually with a dos prompt? Kits are nice and they help a lot, but sometimes they don't work right and get in the way.
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
The above command is what you need to unlock your bootloader. If you see a little lock below the Google logo at startup, you've unlocked your bootloader. You're on a Nexus 7 2013 Wi-Fi right?
If it still freezes when unlocking, you could try opening the tablet and disconnecting the battery for a little bit, and then putting everything back together again. For some reason it seems to work for some people.

I don't - do I just open a cmd prompt window, navigate to where fastboot is and run that command with the Nexus connected via USB and in the bootloader?
I tried an alternative toolkit, the unified one. The UI of that is a cmd prompt window. That shows me that it hangs during the unlock bootloader process where it is "erasing user data", I left it for 8 hours overnight and it was still hanging.
Does it sound totally bricked?

Yes, correct.
As a possible solution, run the below fastboot command. Must be in bootloader menu for this to work. See image below.
Code:
fastboot format cache
Then boot to recovery and do a factory reset.
If it still hangs, try downgrading to a lower android version, 4.3 is a good start. If the process fails, post on what step it failed.

I'm getting an error when I try to run these commands. It complains that ADBwinAPI.dll isn't installed. Tryed using regsvr32 to do so but that also gives me an error.
Trying to use Eclipse to run these commands now but it looks like this could be a wormhole of settings beyond my technical ability!
Just to add, I tried to format the cache using the power+volume up screens. I just get the cache errors listed in the original post.

Ok, found the adb client in the platform-tools sdk directory. Running the unlock I get the same problem, the hang on erasing userdata:
Code:
C:\Users\xxxxxxxx\Documents\Google_Drivers\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\sdk\pl
atform-tools>fastboot oem unlock
...
(bootloader) Unlocking bootloader...
(bootloader) erasing userdata...
Just kicked off the erasing cache command...looks like that's hanging too after 30 seconds....should finsih pretty quickly, right?
Off to Asus I go I think!
No need to run the bootloader command. If it still hangs after the below command and nothing else, then it's time to call Asus and RMA it. :crying:
Code:
fastboot format cache
Part of your NAND is likely toast and why the cache partition won't erase.

[Q] Wiped Nexus, new rom didnt work, have nothing to restore to.

So I'm an idiot. I deleted everything off my Nexus 7 then I was going to flash to a new ROM, didn't work, I don't know why but it won't install. I have nothing else to install, not any other ROMs and no backups. To make the whole entire thing worse, my Nexus wont connect to my computer. Before you say to reinstall the drivers or plug it into another computer, I have, I've tried everything and nothing works. So my question is; Am I screwed or is there somehow a way to install a new ROM (seems impossible) or put the stock ROM back on? I tried the adb sideload method but I was completely unsuccessful as well as every other method I've seen/could come up with. After trying weeks to get anything back on my Nexus 7 I'm just about ready to toss this paperweight in my drawer and forget abaout it
Which modes can you get into?
TWRP allows you to mount USB OTG. Try flashing something from there.
Press Thanks If I Helped You!
Sent from my dead Nexus 7 2013 LTE! ???
Yes, like aniket0317 wrote: if all else has failed, put a ROM on a flash drive, connect it with a USB OTG adapter, and use TWRP.
I've lately had trouble getting my N7 recognized while in recovery mode, though everything's fine while in the bootloader and Android. But with TWRP it's easy to mount external flash storage and install from that.

download the 4.4.4 image
go to fastboot mode, connect the usb cable to laptop/pc
open command prompt and go to the folder where you have extracted the 4.4.4 image
fastboot oem unlock
type flash-all.bat
if all goes well device should reboot (initally will take some time) if it took more time, reboot again into fastboot mode
this time you can try manually commands one by one
in the folder where you have extracted the 4.4.4 image you will fine "image-razor-ktu84p.zip", extract this zip file as well
execute the following commands one by one:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-flo-flo-04.02.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot
device should reboot and if it displays language screen then cool complete the wizard, reboot in to fastboot mode again to lock the bootloader
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot
and enjoy!!! do report back what happens.

I'm a little confused on the instructions, also, as mentioned, my Nexus isn't recognized by my computer no matter what I try.
How does it appear in Device Manager? Have you downloaded and installed the drivers?

in the fastboot mode, after connecting your device to laptop/pc,
if you type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" in the command prompt
what happens?
I am having the exact same problem, it was installing got stuck on "erasing userdata" for over 2 hours and now nothing will work except for fastboot, and some how the device locked itself again. Only thing i can get to is fastboot mode, the computer recognizes the device. When I try to unlock it, it gets stuck in "erasing userdata" I let it run over night last night hoping it would some how work with no luck. I am unsure of what to do. Is there anyway to install a factory OS without unlocking? Every guide I've searched for has me doing an fastboot oem unlock and then the tablet freezes on erasing userdata. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Patched the boot.img using magisk and then flashed it. After patching, it totally cant boot and can only boot to bootloader.
tried alot of version of MSMtool and it will always fail with param preload error...
Then tried manually recover via extracting the payload using python then using adbtools to wipe and flash but it will also fail because some img files are unable to flash over to the phone...
Any other solutions?
U not able to flash boot the stock boot.img?
i am able to flash the stock boot.img to the phone but some critical img files will come out with
FAILED (remote: 'Flashing is not allowed for Critical Partitions.
')

Sorry, fastboot reboot fastboot (without the d)
@danjcxie
To be honest, I would download the rom and boot with the recovery image instead, I'll upload the image collection...
Will post a link here once it's up.
Actually, just noticed there isn't a recovery image, so boot to the default boot.img using fastboot, then see if the storage shows on your computer, copy the latest default rom over to the main storage folder then then go into Settings > System > System Updates and use the cog to do a local update using the rom zip.
That should re-install everything back to default, you might get lucky and still have all your data
My collection is for the Europe build FYI:

MD5 : 00227014483b4913a2624fac6f492434
So you would reboot the phone into fastboot mode by holding vol up during boot
Once you are in fastboot mode connect the phone to your computer
Test that the computer can see it properly using fastboot devices
You should see a number returned, if so then your computer is recognising the phone, if you don't then try installing the latest drivers from here
If fastboot can see the device properly then copy the default boot.img to the same folder as your fastboot.exe and type the following :
fastboot boot boot.img
You should see a message saying it's transferring it to the phone, then it should boot the phone using it, it's slower than a normal boot but, if everything else on the phone is ok, then you should see it booted and it should accept your lock method
Once you get into the phone using that boot.img, try connecting the phone to your computer and see if it's recognised, if it is then copy over the latest stock rom to your main storage folder, then go to Settings > System > System Updates and use the cog to do a local update using the rom zip
I'm guessing it should let you because it will see a difference between your boot image and the one from the rom.

Turn it off and try charging it
Also "fastboot reboot fastboot" isn't a valid command, there is an adb command "adb reboot bootloader" but that can only be run from within your rom from when you are in recovery with the phone connected
