So I totally bricked my new Nexus 7 (2013).
I unlocked and rotted it perfectly, but then I tried to (foolishly) install Chainfire 3D on it.
Now when I turn it on, the google and unlocked sign come on, then go away after about 5 seconds.
There is no boot animation, and there is no recovery WILL NOT GO INTO RECOVERY. I just want my tablet back. I tried to flash ROM's on it to fix it, but I need to go into recovery for that. My Nexus 7 will not go into recovery.
Guys, I desperately need your help.
Save me the 300 euro I paid for!
Thanks.
Your tablet isn't bricked. If it turns on at all it isn't bricked. Get it to the bootloader and perform a factory reset.

ehhh...
Sorry, I forgot to say that one: THERE IS NO WAY TO ACCESS RECOVERY OR BOOTLOADER.
and two: IT DOES TURN ON, BUT IS IN A BOOTLOOP WITH NO ANIMATION.
Is literally as useful as a brick.
any ideas?
So the button combination (volume down + power) doesn't get you to bootloader? Is there any reason you're not asking this question in the Nexus 7 forum? You'd likely get better help there.
Also, I found this thread:

Dual booting has always been unstable and the only way out is to start from scratch. I would not advice dual booting unless you are able to spend time redoing it.

Did u use the rom manager app?
Go to the development section and check out the stickies for going back to stock. That should be your first step.

The only think that can hardbrick was that bootloader you flashed... Don't do that when it's completely unnecessary.

I suggest you continue trying to get to stock. Use a different stock package than the one that didn't work.

Hey everyone, (please don't yell at me!) I am a noob, I have scowered to find an answer for this and I haven't, so I'll post it here. Honestly whoever helps me is a GOD.
I have a Galaxy Note II from Rogers (Canadian provider). I've had it for 8 months and loved it. I haven't touched the innards of it yet, it has been stock since I've gotten it. So a few days ago, it died as per usual and I plugged it in over night. I woke up and it would not turn on! The farthest it gets is a battery with a frozen loading sign on it. It doesn't go any further.
It goes into recovery mode; rebooted the device but it gets past the home screen for about 1 or 2 seconds, freezes and dies. After frantically searching the internet and xda forums, I came up with the semi conclusion that my Note II has suffered from SDS (Sudden Death Syndrome) which is only a self diagnostic. I went into Rogers as it's under warranty to get it replaced but they said it'd be wiped clean! I can't have that happen. I have incredibly important files on my phones internal storage.
So this is where I need your help guys! I REALLY would appreciate it.
I downloaded the Rogers Stock upgrade to 4.1.2 and put it on a microSD and went into recovery mode again on my device and tried installing the update via external storage (so maybe my phone can boot up again!) but all I get is e:signature verification failed which is NOT GOOD! I am completely stuck beyond this point, my phone won't boot but goes into stock recovery. How do I get my phone to start? I need to preserve my files! I could use any help that I could get!

Got Odin as well... Lemme know!
You could attempt flashing cwm and installing a custom ROM to see if it'll boot.
Edit - You may also want to see if this could come in handy - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2052779 (not sure if it'll work in recovery mode, but its worth a try. Even if it doesn't, you could use it once booted).

So this is situation
I had rooted device and hyperdrive rom. I went back to stock using Odin. Then I rooted again using saferoot method. I flashed custom recovery. I didn't even check if it has been installed correctly. Then I used boot unlocker app to unlock bootloader. App name is EZ-Unlock something. It asked me to reboot, I did and I can't turn on my screen. I used all type of combination. I tired keeping battery out for few hours and nothing is happening. I can't turn on screen at all. Nothing means nothing. Any idea please? I don't want to waste money with out getting help from here. Thanks in advance.

There is no "boot loader unlock" for the i545, just Loki for the MDK bootloader.
What bootloader did you start with? What build?
It sounds to me like whatever you used hosed your phone, which is pretty unusual. Normally you can at least get into bootloader mode.]
If you press the power button and plug in to your PC, what kind of device appears?

Ok, first off you cannot unlock the bootloader on this phone. MDK build is the only build that has a bootloader workaround, but it is still not unlocked.
What you will need to do is to find out what build you are on, download that .tar file, boot into download mode, and flash it through Odin.
He used the gs3 ez unlock tool on his galaxy s4...complete brick no fix until we gain the necessary files for JTAG...device won't charge won't boot won't do anything whatsoever... Odin won't even recognize that anything is connected...hope you bought insurance or are within return period

Probably should go in nexus 5 forums.
But regardless, if you can get to the bootloader then all should be ok just to flash again, maybe even go to stock 1st. Power + Volume Down iirc, then just read up on fastboot flashing from command line (requires android sdk platform tools)
Hope that helps
Just lets start with yes I should have known better, yes I did not look before I leaped, yes I am an idiot.
Long story short I formatted the phone with TWRP, and now all it does as show the HTC logo when I turn it on. Can't connect to my PC, can't do anything with it at all. I just wanted to wipe the phone so I can sell it and I went a bit too far.
Is it a brick? Can I recover this thing somehow?
EDIT: BTW I can't turn it off either, its just stuck on a white screen with a HTC logo.
OK after some torture i got it into the bootloader. Need to charge it a bit before I can reload the base RUU. This should work, but will post again if it doesn't, thanks anyway....
so what happened
