Got a N7 2012 runing 5.1 - finally got fed up with it being so slow as almost unuseable so decided to install CM12 ... and am stuck in a boot loop.
I followed the instructions I found (I cant post the link) so I've listed them below:
Deploy ROM image
adb devices
adb push YOURROMZIP.zip /sdcard/
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot oem unlock
cd Download
#or whenever you have downloaded files
fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_image.img
Choose Recovery
Now use your volume buttons to change selected item from the Menu and pick "Recovery mode"*and select it with Power button.
Right now ClockworkMod recovery should start!
Now with the same buttons navigate in recovery and select:
1. backup and restore
2. wipe data/factory reset
3. install zip from sdcard
4. choose zip from sdcard (you should find it in folder named "0", not in the root of sdcard!)
5. reboot system now
Cyanogen Mod should be installed!
did a full wipe at fastboot oem unlock .. then realised i'd have to re-push the ROM as I don't have an sdcard ... so I did that.
Managed to flash TWERP onto it (rather than CW) and got it to boot into Recovery Mode but ... the Recovery Mode and Restart Bootloader are in RED and don't do anything when I tap them.
When I try to power off and back on it gets stuck in the boot loop...
Google screen show with a padlock at the bottom, goes away and then shows up again
Teamwin logo shows up
says 'Running OpenRecovery script'
things then happen too quicly for me to track but it seems there are a list of red error messages like:
E: unable to mount data and could not find crypt footer
I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 and the device doesnt appear i the list when I type
adb devices
fastboot devices
Can anyone tell me what to do to get CM12 on the m/c and working???
btw, managed to break out of the bootloop but it will just start again when turned off and on.
Thanks in advance.
