Help needed to restore my Google Nexus 7 to a working state.

[Android Central Question]

Hello All,

I attempted to flash the factory image for Android 4.4.4 on my Google Nexus 7 (2012), but it wasn't successful. This now resulted in my device no longer booting up, I am also unable to get into fast boot mode, or recovery mode. When I plug my device into my computer, it shows as an unrecognised device.

What can I do to restore my Nexus to a fully working state?

Have you tried XDA Forums ?

Hi mustang7757,

No I haven't tried XDA forums, my friend recommended android central to me so that's why I decided to ask here.

Hi Mustang7757,

I have tried all the ports on my laptop and tried multiple cables, but with no luck. I have just discovered how to put my device into APX mode, and my computer now recognizes it.

Before APX mode:



After APX mode:




Does this help? What can I do now??

I moved this to the 2012 Nexus 7 forum for more specific traffic.

Does the device respond to adb commands?

Does the device respond to adb commands?

When I use the command "adb devices", it doesn't show up. I haven't tried any other commands. I will have access to the device again tomorrow, so then I can try whatever you suggest.
