My update bricked my Nexus 7 completely (see previous thread). It was fine before the update. Nick

And the toolkit looks very useful too. Thanks for the links. N

Thanks once more - I did manage to get into recovery finally by having the usb cable attached as you suggested :-). But sadly the little android man is on his back with a big red triangle where his heart should be. They are sending me a new one. And they have had some other calls it...

Well I've just come off a call to Google Play. No way of getting it out of the boot loop until the battery runs down. So it's a warranty return job. If it's the update that causes this for many users, then that's a big problem for Google. A real shame, it was such a nice tablet.

Thanks very much - is there a thread somewhere on the bootloader?

It's dead I think - locked at the same point. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? If I do have to reflash it and lose everything I will probably return it to Google!

Thanks - just tried that now - still sitting on the 'X' screen - how long should I wait?

Hello all, How long should I wait before doing a hard reset on my Nexus 7? After the update downloaded and rebooted it has been on the boot screen for nearly an hour now... I do hope it isn't bricked! Anyone else having problems with this update. Any suggestions? Regards, Nick

Hi - all was great with the N7 until about an hour ago when the update rolled out. Have been stuck on the boot 'X' screen ever since. How much longer should I wait before attempting a hard reset? Anyone else had this problem? Nick
