Do you have force flash selected in wugs
---------- Post added at 07:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 AM ----------
Because everyones tabs was not bricked. So could be caused by a special set of circumstances unique to your set up.
Yes force flash is selected. And the only ppl I've heard of so far who's didn't get bricked was due to them having the bootloader unlocked.
Everyone who has posted who was 100% factory is stuck just like me. Unable to get the bootloader unlocked. This is one of the 5 post about this same issue I've found, all identical.
I don't want to argue about it, just find some resolution for me and all the others having this problem. My 2012 N7 is working fine and I'm sure it's because I did not update it from JB cause of the issue my 2013 is having.

If you can get to fast boot mode then your good.use the soft brick mode. Other then that idk. There are around 4 million n7 out in the wild. I guess everybody that updated successfully was unlocked then. Call support they should help with update issues.

Those other users manually updated, issue is even though you can fast boot you can't unlock the tablet to flash anything. It freezes at erasing userdata. And support won't do anything but charge you to replace the tablet motherboard. Using the soft brick mode doesn't work, nor fastboot oem unlock. Believe me I've tried everything as well as probably the other hundreds affected by this same issue.

Unlocked Bootloader, TWRP Recovery and now Rooted. Took me awhile, was stuck at 'fastboot oem unlock' waiting for device! found that my nexus drivers were not installing, had to direct path from Device Manager Windows 7 'Android' to google usb drivers. I found my solution on a youtube comment.
Cheers mate
For those with the "waiting for device" issue, here is the link explaining how to properly set up your drivers
I'm using the same method to flash the 5.0.2 factory image, but every time I do, it reboots, and gets stuck on the boot screen. I've let it sit for 15-20 minutes already, a couple times. Any ideas?
Can someone confirm if they were able to use this method to root a N7 2013 running stock 5.0.2 using this method?
Bricked My Nexus 7 (2013)
Hello,
I finally decided to go ahead and root my Nexus 7 last night. After I unlocked the bootloader I went to install TWRP as my custom recovery. After I flashed TWRP it got stuck in a boot loop. If I try to go into recovery mode or power it on it goes to the TeamWin logo and keeps flashing that. I'm pretty sure I flashed the wrong recovery image. Also worth noting is it's running 5.0.2 and when I connect it to the computer it doesn't recognize the tablet being there. This is my first time rooting. I am really worried that it is bricked forever. Thanks everyone

Thanks for the reply. Yes, my computer does not recognize it being there. The tablet does accept charge from the USB port but other than that nothing.
I downloaded the stock recovery image for 5.0.2 and the file size was around 500mb. Well the TWRP recovery I flashed was only in the realm of 10mb. I know it is the wrong one but why is there such a difference in size between the two?
I'm pretty sure the recovery image I flashed was for 4.4.4 and thats where I messed up. Went to fast and didn't pay attention. EDIT: I went into the Control Panel on my computer and looked under devices. There I found under the category "Unspecified" An object labeled Android. Upon clicking on it it is called "Nexus Bootloader Interface" and says that the manufacturer is ClockWorkMod, But I haven't flashed anything that is CWM. All I have flashed is the wrong TWRP recovery image. Maybe this info will help a little more.

As far as I can remember, the recovery.img from the whole 5.0.2 image was just around 7-8mb. The whole factory image has the size of 500mb.
May you do a "fastboot devices" command in command prompt/terminal (assuming you do it within the PWD of the Android platform tools folder)?

You are right. The while factory image is 500mb, I just didn't open the archive with 7zip. Inside was the boot loader and recovery. I used the command "adb devices" in command prompt and it showed a blank line. I just tried to flash it anyway and it worked! It booted up just fine. Very relieved

Hey, I'm having issues with this root. When I try to run adb reboot bootloader, I receive an error that no device is detected. I have USB debugging enabled, and the device is obviously connected via USB. What do I do?
EDIT: Found it, was missing a driver specific to Android and not Nexus.

Any way I can root the deb variant of the Nexus 7 (2013) on Lollipop? Mine's the one with LTE. Any help will be much appreciated! ?
Root question
is it necessary to flash custom recovery? Can I root my nexus 7 without flashing recovery?

^You can use cf auto root. If you run the batch file it'll wipe your device (if you're not already unlocked). Easiest to just pull the .img file out of the zip you download, put it in your fastboot folder and run: fastboot boot imagename.img

....-ox=O=xo-....
THIS GUIDE IS ONLY FOR WINDOWS
1) This point is really important. You’re going to lose all your datas on the device including the internal storage. So back everything up.
2) Download and Install 7zip or any other archive manager as WinRAR etc...
3) Download and install Android SDK
OR
3Bis)Download The ADB and Fastboot Tools in the same Tool ==> platform-tools.zip - md5: 15e771613370afe3c70e0be1454d2ef1 - size: 346.8KB
4) Put these 3 files in where your fastboot folder is installed; ex => => disk C: root
Unzipped this file on the folder "platform-tools" and you will find 11 files:
- aapt
- adb
- AdbWinApi.dll
- AdbWinUsbApi.dll
- aidl
- dexdump
- llvm-rs-cc
- fastboot
- dx
- NOTICE
- source.properties
5) Enable USB Debugging Mode on the tablet to connect it with the computer and use Android SDK with it.
{ Press Menu =>> Settings =>> Applications. From there navigate and click on Development option then check the USB Debugging Mode.}
If you don’t see the Development Options, you'll need to open the Settings app and scroll down to the bottom. Once you get there, tap “About Phone”. Scroll to the bottom again, until you see the Build Number entry.
Now tap Build Number a total of seven times. You'll see friendly developer messages starting with the fourth tap. After the seventh, you'll see a message congratulating you for unlocking Developer Options. “Now you are a developer".
6) At least 70% battery power to avoid uncertain shutdowns during the process.
7) The tutorial is compatible only with the Nexus 7 wifi (2013) FLO.

[TUTORIAL]Download Factory Images Nexus 7 FLO - Restore back STOCK - With latest version KitKat 4.4.4
Find your Factory image for your N7 FLO - KitKat KTU84P - Download Link - - is very useful if you need to restore back your device to Stock after any modification you’ve made. If you have rooted your N7 Flo, unlocked its bootloader, installed custom recovery and roms and finally you want decided to getting back to official firmware and then to get or accept future OTA updates again. It’s the best way to restore back your device to Stock.
Coming back to stock is also useful if you have some bugs (for fixing it), Bootloop, stuck in boot screen logo and freeeeezzziiiinnnngggg, etc....But before to going back to stock, you need to read completly the tutorial and need to know
Your bootloader will be “LOCKED or UNLOCKED” when you want.
1 - Where I can can find the right Factory Image for my Nexus 7 Flo and which files I need for proceed ?
But first download and install the necessary files prior to execute this properly. Download the full factory image corresponding to your exact mode which includes the full system, bootloader, recovery, kernel (boot.img).
Unpack the TGZ Version (tar/gz) or Zip Version Archive into its own directory. I use 7-Zip, but you can use any tool that reads gz and tar.
- Factory Images "razor" for Nexus 7 [2013] (Wi-Fi) - 4.4.4 (KTU84P) - Download link
If you have already installed those files, just check theirs. - Java Runtime Environment.
- Android SDK | Android Developers.
- Platform tools
- Fastboot files
NOW WE ARE READY FOR PROCEED TO RETURN STOCK
2 - PREREQUISITES
First make sure that your battery is fully charge 100% and BACKUP ALL YOUR PERSONNEL DATA
[1] - Make sure you have USB debugging turned on. For security purposes, you can turn it off after we're done
[2] - Plug-in USB cable and If you are booted into Android, open a command prompt to your ADB and Fastboot directory,
[3] - In case you are not unlock, you need to unlock your bootloader, enter the following commands:
If your tablet hasn't already rebooted automatically, type:Code:fastboot oem unlock
Code:fastboot reboot
Done, your Nexus 7 Flo is now coming back and running Stock Android KK 4.4.4
3 - RUNNING FACTORY IMAGE
If you want to keep your data intact, don't skip this step, (if you do your data will be wiped )
With your text editor (for me it's Notepad ++,
[1] - Edit (be careful not to run it by accident instead of editing)
[2] - flash-all.bat (if you're on Windows)
[2a] - flash-all.sh (Mac, Linux)
[2b] - and remove "-w" from the fastboot update command
[3] - Reboot into the bootloader and run the appropriate flash-all script:
Code:flash-all.bat
In Case you want to come back completely to Stock, for warranty or security purpouses, you need to re-lock your bootloader now.
Enter the following commands
If your tablet hasn't already rebooted automatically, type:Code:fastboot oem lock
Done!Code:fastboot reboot
