Quit with the negative waves, man.
My N7 2013, totally unmessed with as far as the OS, was working perfectly and now after an OTA update to 5.1.1 the thing has bricked. I tried restoring to factory settings, wiping the cache...but the screen will not swipe to unlock it. If I try fast boot, I get a little green droid with an exclamation point that says "no start instruction". It's like the flash memory has been corrupted. Sometimes if I just leave it sit for twenty or so minutes, it'll unlock, work for a half an hour, then lock again.
A Google search show this has happened to a lot of folks, and that Google and ASUS are simply ignoring that their update frucked up a lot of machines. Doesn't make me fool too warm and fuzzy about flying with another one, if this one is well and truly buggered.
Any of you tech geniuses have a solution?
