Chosen Solution
My nexus tablet (7 gen2) boots up to the google logo, and gets stuck there. Also, it has had a battery replacement, and screen replacement in its life, if that means anything. Nothing i do helps, and i want old vides off it. Pls help Update: So its been a bunch of months and i found out my problem, (i completely forgot about this post lol) the white ribbon cable was giving me troubles, not connecting properly due to one single bent pin from poor re-assembly.
that being resolved, i royally messed up the orange ribbon cable’s connector at the top of the tablet
Time for some micro-soldering!
O.K. thanks. So you can try recovering your device by following these sets of instructions. First try: Turn tablet offPress and hold the Volume Down - and Power button at the same time for at least 10 seconds. You’ll see an Android robot and the word “Start” with an arrow around it. ( Be certain that you press the Power button and Volume Down simmultaneously. This is very important and usually takes a little practise to get right.) Press the Volume Down - button to move through the options until the screen shows the option to Power Off. Press the Power button to select that option.Disconnect the power cord and reconnect it within 10 seconds. A battery icon should appear on the screen. Allow your device to charge at least 1 hour before turning it on again. If that didn’t work: Turn tablet offPress and hold the Volume Down - and Power button at the same time for at least 10 seconds. You’ll see an Android robot and the word “Start” with an arrow around it. Press the Volume Down - button to move through the options until the screen shows the option to “Recovery Mode”. Press the Power button to select that option.GOOGLE logo will appear with the lock symbol BUT do nothing and wait!An Android robot will, eventually, appear on its back with a door open with red exclaimation mark and a “No command” message.While holding down the Power button, press the Volume Up + button.The page will show “Android Recovery” at the top. Use the volume buttons to scroll to “Reboot system now “ then press the Power button to select it. Did this work? Don’t worry if it didn’t as there is more you can do. For now I await your results. And yes the buttons are tricky to press correctly. Good luck. I have rescued a few of these.
