I followed the instructions here for a Nexus 7.
http://www.nethunter.com/prepare/
When I installed TWRP, I should have been able to reboot to the unmodified OS. Instead, it opened TWRP and said there was no OS installed. I tried rebooting from TWRP, but the OS was missing. I went to recovery mode, and it could not find any /cache or /usr partitions. I went to flash boot and flashed a new factory image. Instead of rebooting, it now goes directly to the Nexus robot with the back panel open. I can access the ADB sideloader, but that does not replace the boot loader.
I believe the bootloader is now dead and the Nexus is hard bricked.
Two questions:
(1) There really is nothing I can do to fix this, right? :mad:
(2) If I get a new one and want to retry this, is there anyone out there who has experience successfully doing this with the same make and model? :o
If you wish to be hired as a consultant, I am willing to do this route as it is cheaper than replacing a Nexus 7. :D
Thanks!
