    ‘bricked’ Nexus 7 devices following Lollipop OTA updates, Nexus 5 seemingly affected too
    This is definitely concerning. Several people are reporting on Google’s product forums that their Nexus 7 devices have stopped working following updates to various versions of Android Lollipop. And while it may not necessarily be the same exact issue (as users are reporting a wide variety of different symptoms), some Nexus 5 users have seen their device become unusable following recent Lollipop updates as well.

    It’s not exactly clear which updates are affecting which devices, but the problem appears to be fairly widespread…

    The largest thread reporting the problem on the Google product forums, titled “Nexus 7 stuck on Google screen” and dating back to December, involves several Nexus 7 owners who claim that their devices are simply getting stuck on the Google logo boot screen. Some users are reportedly unable to boot into recovery mode, while others can but their device hangs for hours on the Fastboot “Erase Userdata” screen. It seems as if the 2013 Nexus 7 (assumably WiFi) is the device most commonly affected.


    Also threads on reddit here and here



    I don't have a Nexus 7 (2013) or a Nexus 5!

    People might be better of not accepting OTA's to 5.0.2 and probably should wait for 5.1 or the rumored 5.1.1 becomes available.

    Anyone from boards affected? Probably would have seen more bricked posts?

    The Digital Services Act 2024 [EU] ~ Social Media and You ~ Nanny State guidance for parental monitoring of apps ~ Censorship: - broad laws that will probably effect Adult use of same.
