ok, so i wanted to try Cyanogenmod 7.
i followed the steps:
1- rooted the device
2- downgraded to Froyo firmware
3- installed Cyanogenmod 7.20.
all worked fine for almost one week until i updated rom manager from the market.
since the the device led flickers in green and orange. I can get into clockworkmod recovery menu but it lasts for a few seconds and disappears. it appears again and so on.
adb devices returns:
List of devices attached
SH0BHRT09137 recovery
but because it's not stable the same command doesn't return any devices few seconds later.
what shall i do now ?
steps one and two i assume are switched around, try booting into fastboot
if your hboot is still stable you may have more luck here
fastboot works in similar ways as adb - so fastboot devices
if you see yours
then wipe and flash a new recovery via fastboot
fastboot -w
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
(replace recovery.img with whatever name you give that recovery image)

Thanks for the info. after i installed fastboot and ran "fastboot devices" i don't get any devices.
are you in fastboot mode within hboot? does your phone say fastboot usb?
write down everything on your phone when you boot into bootloader

strange enough "adb reboot" go the device working ! not sure why it was stuck at ClockMod.
hope this thread help somebody later.
Nexus 7 was rooted,unlocked bootloader and was running paranoid anroid 3.90+ i think . i plugged it into the computer to get a new rom using nexus root toolkit v1.7.2. i was asked to update a few things, so i clicked yes. i then tried to flash stock + unroot and chose 4.3 cause i wanted to try the new OS. but i guess something happened because when i turned my nexus 7 back on i was stuck on the load screen (GOOGLE image with a unlocked lock) i could cycle thru a few options using volume keys (start,recovery,power off) .all of them seemed useless as they would just bring me back to where i was.when clicking start "booting failed" come up on the upper left side. when trying to flash stock +unroot using NRT i get up to the sending "bootloader" part and my nexus 7 just freezes, how do i fix this. please and thanks
download the factory image from the google factory image and extract the archive.
try flashing the bootloader manualy with fastboot.
locate your fastboot binary and copy the bootloader image to that directory.
open a commandline in that directory and type
fastboot flash bootloader name-of-bootloader.img
after that you can try to flash the whole factory image with the flash-all.sh script.
Simple

Boot failed??? That's a bad flash of the stock ROM. I had the same problem at my first attempt trying to flash Stock ROM, but don't worry! Let's do this:
WARNING: Before you continue you are accepting that I'm not responsible of anything can happen to your Nexus and your battery is fully charged.
When you download the stock ROM you have to uncompress the zip file. You will find the bootloader and another zip.
Uncompress that zip file, put fastboot program, the bootloader and the files together.
Then start your Nexus into bootloader mode, connect it to your PC, open a console (cmd for Windows, Terminal for Linux and Mac OS X) and type this:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
WARNING: Your Nexus is FULLY EMPTY!!! Don't reboot it because it can get a full brick (It will not turn on any more).
Now type this:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-X.XX.img
NOTE: Replace X.XX with your version.
Now type:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Your Nexus will reboot.
Type this:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img #Will take a very long time. DON'T INTERRUPT THE PROCESS!!!!!
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
Now reboot again with:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Re-unlock bootloader to get a full wipe:
fastboot oem lock
Reboot again:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
And then unlock the bootloader:
fastboot oem unlock
Press "Yes" to the petition screen and reboot:
fastboot reboot
Ready the Nexus!
I had the same problem and I did this.
I hope I can help you.
Sorry for my bad English. I'm from Argentina and I'm learning.
Well,
Good luck!

what do i type into cmd inorder to be able to type
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
and get it to work. im a noob . thanks in advance
You have to be in the folder with fastboot inside else those commands will not work.
It will be easier if you put the images extracted from the zip into the zip together with the fastboot program.
If you don't understand yet I'll try to be more specific.

It can be intimidating... and the so-called tool-kits don't help you learn
I assume you are using Windows.
follow the unzip instructions from the previous poster. (not quoted here). note the directory.
find the directory containing your android tools... ADB.exe and FASTBOOT.exe.
transfer your unzipped files to this directory. Open your CMD prompt window and change to this directory if necessary.
plug in your Nexus.
type fastboot device at the prompt. MAKE SURE YOUR NEXUS 7 is listed (serial number)
proceed with the complete instructions from the previous poster.
that should do it.
YES!!!
thanks alot for the instructions, it worked!!! i hope people use ur instructions as reference if they have the same problem. THANKS ALOT!!!

Hello. My brother's Nex 7 is also has this issue. I cannot follow any of the steps as it gets stuck on erasing any of the partitions. I tried erasing those partitions in any order and they still get stuck. His device was stock and bootloader locked too. When I try to unlock the bootloader, it gets stuck as well at the erasing userdata part. I suspect a bad memory chip. Anyone else experience this?
Yes, mine is sticking on the (bootloader) erasing userdata on bootloader unlock as well.
It also sticks on any fastboot ERASE command.
Factory reset had a bunch of errors and no longer comes up. none of the FLASH commands work because the BOOTLOADER is locked.
And since it freezes on the unlocking bootloader commands I believe I am screwed.
This was a factory installed, never flashed, unlocked or rooted Nexus 7 wifi 2nd gen. After installing the 4.4.2 that popped up it loaded once then crashed and never loaded again
I have tried every tool I can find. They all stick on the erase part.

Send your device for repair. My brother did so. My suspicions were correct. A faulty chip. They replaced the whole board, according to my brother.

Turned my Nexus 10 on today and it had an update to 5.02 so I let it download and install it.
Bearing in mind my Nexus 10 is as standard from when I got it completely stock non rooted.
It rebooted and a blank screen was all that appeared. I left it for several minutes and still nothing.
Then i got an android laying on its back with an exclamation mark..
I read about flashing the full image on another thread to resolve this issue
So i went ahead and unlocked my bootloader,
erased everything and flashed everything as below:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-manta-mantamf01.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
ping -n 5 127.0.0.1 >nul
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
echo Press any key to exit...
Now i rebooted it and got the android opened up cog spinning on his back the data sort of dna web thing spinning too for a short while. however after a few minutes the device rebooted and is now stuck with the Nexus boot animation.
any ideas what i can do?
Seeing as you already to have wiped everything on the N10... Try running the factory restore image from Google while in fastboot mode: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/mantaray-lrx22g-factory-81af84cb.tgz
This will flash a clean image of 5.0.2 onto your N10 for you without needing to know any fastboot commands.

Thanks for this although i reflashed the Nexus 10 through a USB 2.0 port instead of a USB3 and it came up on its own after a minute or so of the boot animation.
So now i can manually keep my Tablet up to date and backed up.
TLR: Phone boots up and says. Launcher has stopped working, contacts has stopped working and etc.
Ok so i bought Moto G4 XT1625, yesterday. Was very happy with the device. It came with Android 6.0.1, i updated it to nougat 7.0.
But in android 6.0 and 7.0 both i noticed the phone giving random apps freezes and randomly even restarting on 7.0. The problem was minimal so i rebooted the phone 2,3 times and made it working. Then i received another update "NPJS25.93-14-4" on that update the phone got successful but bootlooped when booting for the first time on that update. I thoughts its ok so rebooted to bootloader and booted the phone from bootloader. the phone booted. after that another update came "NPJS25.93-14- (5 or 8) i dont remember properly" in this update the update failed during the installation. Keep in mind that i did not touch anything before this update. The phone was totally stock with stock recovery and everything. On this update the phone failed the update and i got constant bootloop no matter if i factory reset or erase cache it kept bootlooping, now i unlocked the bootloader and installed twrp and flashed a custom stock rom it crash on the boot. Again the random app has stopped working error came continously making the phone unusable. Then i flashed the stock rom correct firmware and everything it bootlooped again, then i rebooted numerous times the phone booted fine. Installed apps. This time did not get any app has stopped working error. Then rebooted the phone to install the sim card phone bootlooped again. Im 99% sure this is a hardware issue. Can somebody enlighten me? Whats going on in here? Thanks. I never faced this kind of problem ever in my life, i have bought more than 100 devices.
@whizinc
The Story is really frustrating especially when you bought it new :laugh:
So let's try to get your device working!
since you unlocked the bootloader you should clean flash the stock rom with fastboot https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138 and see what happens. Don't put sim cards in and disable wifi. Just flash, boot and play around to see if it works without reboot.

UPDATE
It did not get past the "Checking Network" thing and after pressing the power button screen went black but i could see nav bar and status bar only. The phone has faulty hardware. Im now sure. Going to get it back tomorrow from where i bought it. Lets hope i get a refund or replacement. I bought it from a local mobile mall.

posted in a new thread because the problem did not belong to the rom's thread, im sorry did i do something wrong? No. I did not flash the stock custom rom before all of this. I never wanted to flash a custom rom. The thing is the phone failed an OTA update which let me to come to this decision. The phone failed ".5" update and after that it bootlooped. So i thought flashing twrp and flash a custom rom with a clean install would fix it but even the custom rom the " xxx app stopped working error" came continously.
After that i followed echo92's guide and flashed the whole stock rom through fastboot. Still same issue. Random apps crashing.
I think this is hardware issue. Because every idea has been fail till now.
What do u say?
edit: note: when the phone failed ".npj25.93-14-5" update it was completely stock and i did not even touch anything, i dont know why it failed on the first place?

Yep, I've been tracking the topic over both topics, gonna reply here to keep the other ROM thread clean too As I understand it:
Bought the device, had random issues with apps crashing on MM and Nougat.
Flashed TWRP and accidentally took the OTA, soft bricking in the process.
Flashed J-X's NPJS25.93-14-8 modified stock ROM, still app errors.
Reverted back to stock, still app errors, to the point where the device isn't useable and is now bootlooping...
However, @whizinc it's odd that you're experiencing these errors across flashes of the stock ROM and even a modified stock ROM and the data's been wiped each time...
Can you just confirm that with the NPJS25.93-14-4 (March 2017 fastboot ROM) that the stock ROM was flashed with these instructions as well, given that something odd's happening with your device...
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize (optional: will erase any customizations if ordered through motomaker)
fastboot erase clogo (optional: will erase the custom boot logo if ordered through motomaker)
fastboot reboot
The difference is that these include re-flashing your GPT/bootloader (just in case) and also include the equivalent of a factory reset (so effectively a clean install of the stock, unmodified, ROM). I recall you've mentioned doing this, just want to ensure we have a clean slate to work with.
If you can, can you post the output of your flash commands, just want to see if the flash worked, hold fire on updating to NPJ25.93-14.5 for now (or if you want to try your luck, you can get the fastboot file from here - you need to flash it with the above instructions, as it's an upgrade: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298984458 )
Else, it may be a hardware failure - when you bought the device, was it new or sold as used? Do you have a warranty with the shop you bought the device from? If you can, can you boot into bootloader, attach your device to your computer, and in the adb terminal, type 'fastboot getvar all' without the quotes, please? This should output a list of the basic details of your device, please post that here - you may wish to edit out your IMEI if you wish.
I have difficulty understanding why someone would void the warranty (by unlocking the bootloader) of a phone that is seemingly defective out if the box. Not a very good idea.

No no, You got the story wrong. Let me make it correct.
1: Bought the phone from a local mobile mall i have 3 days warranty left. (Phone was on Android 6.0 update)
2: Did not touch the phone. Just installed my daily apps. i.e: whatsapp,facebook and stuff.
3hone started doing odd things like auto touch while charging and apps saying "force stopped" error
4:Then i thought that this is Android 6.0 bug on Moto g4, so i should update it via OTA.
5: Updated to 7.0 same issues.
6:I saw another update did it as well 14-4 update. This update caused bootloop but i managed to make it through by booting from bootloader.
7: Then saw another update 14-5 and that update failed. (WHILE THE WHOLE PHONE WAS ON STOCK STATE) Why did the update fail? I didnt even touch the recovery or anything at that time.
8: Then i flashed the custom rom and the rest of the story goes on as u mentioned in the post.
And yes i cleaned flash the rom with the OEMlock.bat script that the guy above gave to me. It included all things such as boot,modem and all stuff. So it was def a clean install.
"fastboot oem lock begin
fastboot oem lock begin
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot"
This was the script i used to flash the fastboot rom which is 14-4.
Then again got force stop errors and the 14-5 update failed causing bootloop again.
I just have 2 hours to check the devices further or else im gonna return it today. Thanks

Oh, you didn't mention that you have bought a used device! Bring it back to the shop and buy another/new one. Who knows what's wrong with that device or which history it has...
Apologies for getting the story mixed up, the information you provided in your corrected post and subsequently makes the situation worse though. Sounds like you bought a device exhibiting ghost touching or the beginnings of ghost touch and possibly was hard bricked/had the incorrect firmware flashed previously. As strongst mentioned, return that device. It sounds like it'll be more trouble than it's worth... especially for a used device.
UPDATE
I returned the handset to the shop guy, he was skeptical at first but then he gave it to another guy who said that the phone would go in used market claim and then after that he'll either return me the money or give me a new G4 device. I'll have to wait till monday. It sucks. Anyways Thanks alot guys for the help i appreciate it alot.
