Reporting: SD slot looks clean; compressed air squirt didn't seem to affect behavior. Looked at what it would entail to physically replace the card slots (need to micro weld onto board) - and not going to pursue that. So ... sadly am giving up. Thanks B. Diddy, for the advice along the way!

see my original post: new card; nothing on it; mounts fine in another phone; and another card (working in my phone) causes same behavior in my wife's phone. It seems to be a problem with the phone, not the card.

Thank you for the suggestion, B. Diddy. I tried starting up in Safe Mode this morning, + / - the SD card. Was able to get to Safe mode successfully without the SD card. But with the card installed, I get the same bad behavior: won't complete startup, even into Safe Mode - keeps turning off...

Been having problems reverting my Nexus 7 (2012) back to Android 4.4.4 (was really frustrated with Lollipop!!!!) Presently stuck using fastboot, trying to get the system.img to flash, from Terminal on my MacBook (OSX10.6). The Nexus has its system wiped (will only boot into Fastboot, not into...
