Re: why has my nexus 7 been killed by an android update? AC, Same symptoms on my 2012 Nexus 7 ... Google .. Color spashes.. Main Swipe screen (but no response to swipe) .then endless repeat of that. I was able to reset but on reboot still same exact thing. Maybe is just failing hardware...

Yet another newer update ... and stuck at 24% too. I managed to hit the right button combo (power and volume up ??) and it showed the debug screen about what was wrong that caused it to be stuck: E:ensure_path_unmounted failed to unmount /system (Device or resource busy) over and over and...
