Hello everyone ,
I think I have just bricked my nexus 9 , it started when I installed the dirty unicorn rom, but without thinking I did not perform a factory reset before in recovery and now my nexus 9 will not boot at all. When I hold the power button the google logo appears for a couple of seconds and turns off quickly. I also tried fasboot , and I eventually got it to appear but it turned off after 1-2 seconds. I then tried to use nexus root toolkit to flash the factory image, but since I cant acces fastboot it wont find my device. Am I out of options, or is there something else I can do , or should I send it in for repair. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Update:
anyone please help , edit:: I tried everything I could to turn on the nexus 9 and when I plugged in the nexus 9 to the wall and held power + up button , it turns on and says Fastboot AC, however whenever I select fastboot it shows it for a second and turns off. I tried plugging it into the wall and Fastboot AC but when I unplug it to my computer it just turns off and from there I cant do anything and it does not turn on at all.
Is there perhaps someway I can flash the bootloader without the screen on or anything like the nexus root utility that fixes bricked bootloaders?
Did you flash the custom rom via twrp? Do you still have the twrp recovery?
If yes try to boot into twrp recovery and connect to your pc.
Yes, I did flash the custom rom in twrp , however I cannot boot into twrp recovery or even into fastboot or the bootloader. My nexus 9 will not even turn on unless is connected to the wall outlet and then when I press the power + volume button it shows Fastboot ac however when I select the bootloader or anything else it just turns off. When I connected it to my pc, my nexus 9 does not turn on at all and is not even recongnized
Can you find a pc with a USB charging port or a hub with a charging port? A USB charging port will be able to deliver 2A along with the USB connection. You may also find a USB3 port may also deliver sufficient power - the official spec says 900mA but I think that is the minimum requirement.
I tried using 3 different pc's , one with a usb charging port , and the nexus 9 was still not able to turn on, even when holding power + volume up or any other configuration. I tried different usb cables and still no luck. Is there someway that I can access it without fastboot or adb? I know on the nexus 7 forum, there is one click factory restore dead or alive , but I dont think there is anything like that for the nexus 9.

All you need is fastboot. From there you should be able to flash boot.img and system.img
commands are....
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
Then I would run fastboot format userdata
Of course you need to get these image files from the factory image site here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

I really want to do this , however my nexus 9 does not turn on when connected to any pc's , It will only turn on when connected to the wall charger. I have tried different usb cables and different computers and still no luck. I also tried nexus root toolkit however it doesnt recognize the nexus 9 as it needs fastboot which I cannot access.

Ahhh, Ok. Thats what I was getting at.
You may have to RMA the device. Tell them nothing of root and ROM and just give the function failures you discussed here.

I dont think I can RMA the device becuase I purchased the nexus 9 from an ebay seller and I contacted him and he said returns are only valid for two weeks and I have already had the device for other two months now. Should I just sell it or can I somehow return the device to google even though I did not buy it through the play store?
Just for reference , here is a picture of the nexus 9 in fastboot ac connected to the wall charger
http://imgur.com/coUY7qS
If I select hboot it turns off ,and if I try to plug it into a PC it just quickly shuts down and will not turn back on
I would still try to RMA back to HTC.
The most they can say is No.
Ok thanks for you help , I will try to contact HTC for a RMA
Edit: I just called HTC and described my situation and they said they would not be able to return it or RMA the device because it was bought from an ebay seller and they are not responsible. Is there anything else I can do?

Try miflash to flash a new rom. If this does not work, then remove the back panel of you phone and disconnect the battery cable. Watch video on youtube for help. After that leave the phone disconnected for 30 mins and then reconnect it. Press vol down and power and you should be able to enter fastboot mode.
If nothing works go for test point method. see videos for better understanding.
As I was trying to flash global rom via miflash, It gave an error at %50 helloblabla and stuck at nowhere. Just red led blinking. When I connect it to the pc, It is seen as diagnostics 900e (com10). I hold volume + and - and plug the usb cable after taking out battery and usb cable for 10 seconds and putting them back from back but It doesn't work. I cannot see my device in miflash to flash the device.
Use the deep flash method mentioned here
http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=310325&extra=page=1&page=1&mobile=2
Had the same issue on my rn3 and was able to recover it using this method(when test point seemed the only option). You just need a copper wire strand to do this. Short the usb 2nd pin as in the video, then remove cable and reinsert. Phone will be detected as unknown device, then update driver and phone will be shown as qdownloader 9008 mode. Next open miflash and flash rom.

See, the person I bought the phone will do it for me. That's not something I want to do.
Use the modified fastboot to reboot to edl from fastboot. google "fastboot edl"

HELLO I was trying to unlock my bootloader by flashing a zip file with mi flash in EDL MODE the result was the device is now bricked it only flashes red led no power on no recognition by computer bootloader locked no fastboot no adb
people suggested something called a deep flash cable to connect straight to the CPU Qualcomm port 9008 now the computer recognize the phone but when I try to flash a ROM it gives cannot receive hello packet error
is there any hope left?:crying:

if deep flash mated ( with deep flash cable) not work for you:
open your phone and disconnect your battery and flash your phone
Please help there is no flash button on flash tool even though the computer says the phone is connected Qualcomm 9008
If red notification light flashes, then you are already in EDL mode, and deep flash cable is nothing but the usb cable which has circuit breaker(switch) between green and white cable... jus buy a cheap data cable from market and peel it partially... now peel the green and white wire... ur deep flash cable is ready.. now insert the cable in pc and phone.. and join the green wire and white wire for 8 seconds... you are in EDL mode.
Hey bro i had faced the same issue that u are on. I had lost hope, but there is solution. There is a video on YouTube -
. This you can watch.
Now the procedure is very simple.
1. Remove the backpanel of your phone( don't worry nothing that serious)but do it carefully as the fingerprint wire is connected already so u should not tear it. Remove the fingerprint cable. Then remove the battery's frap type cable and reinsert it and reinsert the fingerpint one and close the panel. Similar to removing the battery and inserting it again.
2. According to that video, take the copper wire and insert it on the middle pins, very very carefully and insert it in the usb port of your computer. Mind it it might not work at the very first try, due to not applying the wire correctly but for sure it works, so take a small wire and not a bunch of wires and connect it with the port connected to your phone.
3. After inserting let your computer detect it and then remove the Usb cable. Remove the wire. And insert the cable again without wire. Now the port is unlocked and you can easily flash stock os through Mi flash application on pc.
It is super simple and don't panic. Hope you get your phone recovered???.
Don't work it can be fixed,dm me if you haven't already

1. Is it red light beeping ON/OFF?
2. What does the COM port say after connecting the phone to the PC in device manager? HS-USB diagnostics 900E or Downloader?
3. In either way install the Qualcomm HS-USB Downloader driver if not installed in your PC
4. Get ready to pull off the back cover watching youtube, it's not so difficult, disconnect the battery for 20s. Then reconnect. Next connect the cable to the PC to check if it connects in Download mode or not
