Help Please Help Nothing Is Working!!!! Stuck On Google Bootload

Ok I'm pretty good with Windows but I know nothing at all about Android. So I got this tablet off a site the guy said it needed a new motherboard which I never heard of. He said he didn't do anything to it it just stopped loading one day.

So I go all over and find all the little tricks to try and make it work. I did the power and volume button thing. I tried to reset it with the Rootkit program. I even tried to get SDK but that won't run on my PC for some reason.

Anyway what is happening is the tablet gets stuck on the Google word. I see nothing before that and it stays on that forever. I waited 15 minutes and nothing. When I try the rootkit program it gets stuck when it tries to reboot. The tablet just never turns back on. I can get it to boot into the bootloader screen. But nothing after that is functional. So what are my options here? If any. I'm hoping I can fix it. I am pretty quick at picking stuff up but this one is really stumping me.


Any help or advice or direction would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks



I've done everything this thread suggests http://androidforums.com/nexus-7-2012/830182-stuck-x.html and still no luck
 
Did you ever think that maybe he had the tab diagnosed, and it needs a new motherboard?
 
I asked him he said he didn't have anything done to it. Didn't try to fix it in any way just bought a new one. I asked him why he thought it was a motherboard and he said he had no idea just seemed to make sense to him.
 
When using the Nexus Root Toolkit, are you checking the box for soft-brick/bootloop? Boot into bootloader, make sure that box is checked, then launch advanced utilities. Check the box for bootloader, then click on list devices. If you get a popup listing your tablet, you should be good to go.
 
Ok I will try the advanced utilities thing. Other than that yes I do all those things. When it goes to reboot it just never turns on again. The DOS screen (cmd prompt I'm old) says waiting for device. How long does that part take?

So it's saying it reads my device and if I tell it to reboot in bootloader it does but nothing else is working. Any ideas on this one?
 
Ok so when I do the Soft Brick Flash Stock + Unroot everything works up until the command prompt attempts to reboot. It turns off and never turns back on :( The last paragraph of the cmd prompt reads as follows and is what may be the issue. It reads

sending 'bootloader' <2100kb>
FAILED <remote: Bootloader is locked.>
finished. total time:0.145s
rebooting into bootloader...
OKAY [ 0.020s]

So I'm thinking it has something to do with this FAILED section as everything else works with no issues. Also after this I'm stuck at the < waiting for device > and my tablet doesn't power back on. I have a 100% charge and did all the driver stuff first.

Any ideas?????

Try unlocking the bootloader.

Tried that. Same issue when the device goes to reboot it never turns back on. I got all the info to try in manually so that's my next step.

When I tried unlocking the bootloader I got the warning agreed to doing it and saw it say "unlocking" on the tablet but like I said it never booted back up

Thanks for trying anyway. Do you know of any advanced issues I could look up? Maybe this is a hardware issue. I heard that the memory being close to max can do something like this also. Just want to figure out what is wrong with it even if it's something I can't fix...
 
In Android, memory (RAM) should always be as full as possible. Unused memory is wasted memory.
 
Hello everyone I am very new to this area of computing (and this forum). However I have still ended up in a similar hole as you guys are describing although it happened for a completely different reason. (BTW: I am rooted)

one day I tryed to play the android game NOVA 3 on my Nexus 7 on the highest graphical setting so I went and researched how to do this. I was pointed towards some kind of app called 'ChainFire 3D', Once I pressed the install button inside this app the Nexus 7 switched off and the next time I tried to turn it on I got the X logo of death (boot loop). I then tried to enter recovery and I got the annoying 'no command' error. I cant seem to remember how I rooted this thing but I do have access to the fastboot stuff ONLY (inside cmd).

if there is anyone who has any idea how to go about fixing such an issue without wiping everything on my nexus could they please get back to me ASAP.
