Guest PaulOBrien Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 So you've got your shiny new Nexus 7, you've been tinkering with it and, disaster of disasters, the thing won't boot! You can't get into recovery for whatever reason, you didn't make a backup and - oh woe - you are out of ideas! Fear not, as a Google device it's super easy to recover! Simply... Download the factory images from hereLinux / Mac - run the flash-all scriptWindows - run the commands from inside the flash-all scriptProfit Simple eh? :) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jtc42 Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Definely should be pinned. Paul you are just the best! Much as I love XDA for the sheer amount of content, I find that if I actually want to get something done, Paul got me covered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest player911 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Thanks Paulie! I've somehow bricked my N7 so good that all I get is a APX driver. The Tablet itself is completely dead. I've had a G2x and TF101, which use NVFlash. I've tried some commands and it says Unknown device, so at least it is seeing it (so there IS hope!). I think it is something to do with the bootloader.

Guest Phil Lee Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 I found this guide to be very well laid out and easier to follow than Paul's brief, but accurate version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1781250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nico1375 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 if a device was encrypted, does it wipe everything, leaving an unencrypted, as new, device? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vlad7777 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Hi, I downloaded the factory image for my Nexus (which is "takju" model). The downloaded file is a *tgz archive - when I extracted it - it has several files - including the bootloader and all th eother files needed to flash. My Nexus is already bootloader unlocked and has fastboot. Should I then only use the takju *.zip file and put in the root directory of the device in case I want to flash it using the "Volume down-Power" keys to get into bootloader and then restore from ZIP? Or do I have to go through wiping clean in order to restore stock ROM? Thanks in advance Vladimir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
