1st download the fastboot.zip i uploaded and unpack it to the root of your c drive.
click on start/all programs/accessories and then command prompt
in the prompt type in cd c:/Fastboot
so the prompt should now say c:/fastboot>
now enter "fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY", where KEY is the unlock boot loader key you got from the Unlock boot loader web page.

[GUIDE] Factory Image Posted-Return your Nexus 7 (2013) to stock

This is in no way the only way to go about getting your Nexus 7 back to stock. In my opinion however, it is the most tried and true and reliable method of getting it done. This is the way I like to do things and I know there are others that feel the same. This guide is for those people. If you would rather use the flash-all.bin script then be my guest. There are also toolkits that will get the job done. I hope this can help some of you.
First of all, I am in no way responsible for anything you do to your tablet period.
I have seen a couple of people asking how to return the Nexus 7 to stock after it has been unlocked, rooted and so on, so I figured I would write a quick guide as its super easy to do. Also, please make sure you make a backup of anything you don't want to lose. This is important.
Before you begin, please make sure you have ADB and Fastboot drivers installed and working.
1) Download the factory image for the Nexus 7 at here.
2) Extract the factory image into the same directory as your ADB and Fastboot executibles (e.g. "\android-sdk\platform-tools")
3) Plug in your device. If you are booted into Android, open a command prompt to your ADB and Fastboot directory, then type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
If your device is powered off, press and hold the volume down key and the power button simultaneously. After holding both buttons for a couple of seconds, your bootloader should launch.
4) Type
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-flo-flo-03.14.img
5) Next type
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
6) Now type
Code:
fastboot -w update image-razor-jss15j.zip
7) Optional: If you would like to relock your bootloader for warranty or security purpouses, make sure you are in your bootloader screen again and type
Code:
fastboot oem lock
8) If your tablet hasn't already rebooted automatically, type
Code:
fastboot reboot
That should do it. You should now be on stock Android 4.3 and ready to send in your tablet for warranty purposes if you so desire.

This is a different way of doing things. This is the way that Google themselves provide to get your tablet back to stock. This is the way I prefer to do things as I like to be responsible for the code that is entered in my tablet. Maybe I'm just the weird one here and I am not saying they are wrong, just not a fan of the toolkits.

The only difference between this and flash-all.bat in the Google-provided factory restore is the optional fastboot oem lock
Not sure about your system, but (unless fastboot -w come back with error) on successful
fastboot -w update image-razor-jss15j.zip
My tablet reboots automatically, so the subsequent
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot
won't be run while the tablet is in fastboot mode.

In step three it says to press both volume keys and power to get into the bootloader but on our Nexus 7 I thought it was only volume down and power to get into the boot loader.

Yes, I understand what to do if I want to lock the bootloader.
What I was pointing out is the only difference between the instructions provided and what the flash-all.bat script (included by google in the factory image restore) does already is the "optional" step of locking the bootloader.
So the only difference actually doesn't work using the instructions here, you have to reboot the bootloader, which is exactly the same you would have done if you ran the flash-all.bat script and wanted to lock.
So this whole post could have been written:
1) adb reboot bootloader
2) run flash-all.bat script
3) optional - relock bootloader
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot​

You are correct. About to correct this in the OP.

I have had trouble in the past with the flash-all.bat script. My Nexus S never would work right with it and so ever since, I have always used the manual entry of the code. Takes 20 seconds to run all of it. Not too inconvenient for something I know will work.

ot: what should i tell the store when i go back to 'exchange' the tablet, once i do OP's procedure, will the store test it out and find no faults to exchange it?
tell them, wifi keeps dropping?
random reboots
can't update apps via googleplay store?

The second one is the hardest to reproduce, and they're not going to stand around and wait for it....

Does this guide still apply to the latest Android 6.0 Factory image?

^Yes.
The bootloader name as well as the image is obviously different so change that. The bootloader didn't change since at least 5.1 (04.05) so if you're running that you don't need to flash it the md5's are the same.

Bootloader Unlocked

OK so I have an issue that I just cannot seem to fix. I've followed Max Lee's guide to unlocking the bootloader, obtaining root, and getting twrp. I've followed the written and video instructions to the t and a few guides in here, I have installed and updated the proper drivers and sdk tools, but my hitch is when I type the "fastboot oem Unlock" command, it says it finishes but my device doesn't reboot and ask if I want to proceed to unlock my bootloader, instead it just stays on the fastboot logo and does nothing until I restart it. This happens on both my mac and my pc so I'm not sure what the issue is I have usb debugging enabled and the allow oem Unlock slider is in the on position, any help or advice 8s greatly appreciated, thank you.

do you run an actual version of sdk-tools? fastboot recognized your phone, right? You can test it with following command: fastboot devices
Output is something like this:

I am sorry i couldn't understand the latter half of your post.
What do you want to do? Unlock your bootloader? Flash recovery? or factory reset?

Fine i ll type down steps in max detail for you.
Go to developer options, enable usb debugging and oem unlock.
download platform-tools by google. (adb)
Extract it. Say at C:\
Now install drivers for your phone
open cmd and navigate to the folder where you extracted platform tools. Follow the code.
Enable usb debugging from developer options
[/LIST]
Code:
cd C:\platform-tools
adb devices
a device and some number should show up with an online status
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
again, a device and number should show
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot reboot
if it says success,bootloader is unlocked.
download a recovery.img specific to your phone. rename it to say twrp.img and place it in the same folder as platform tools.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot twrp.img
the recovery will boot. this is a temporary boot and will wipe off on a reboot. You can also flash the recovery using fastboot flash command.

[Solved] Huawei P9 Lite Bricked

Hello, I was curious if anyone could help me with unbricking my phone, my phone has no custom recovery installed, the bootloader is apparently unlocked (OEM unlocking is disabled), FRP lock is enabled, I cannot flash anything (Command not allowed), relock bootloader (Root type is at risk), Unlock bootloader (Command not allowed), any help would be appreciated.
Edit: I also cannot boot a from a recovery img locally using fastboot (Command not allowed)
EDIT: Fixed it using DC Pheonix and flashing VNS-L22C636B140 OEMINFO and flashing B160

Hi, try my way. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77307223&postcount=30 Just pick CxxxBxxx that suits your model. Try to unlock bootloader again via SRKTool, I think FRP must be unlocked too...

Are you sure you run from inside the folder where adb.exe and fastboot.exe is? Boot to bootloader and use terminal pointed to fastboot.exe. Shift+right click -> open command line here. Make sure your devices is listed: adb devices. If device is shown: adb reboot bootloader, to reboot to bootloader. If not, install adb drivers / huawei drivers.

Yes I am sure, also, I have no way to access ADB since there is no recovery on the phone.
Only thing I can do is boot to that eRecovery screen with the option to download, reboot or shutdown. (Automatticly goes to here), or boot to bootloader

Well if you can access to bootloader then you able to use fastboot commands. ADB is not related to recovery anyhow, you use windows command prompt to use adb and fastboot. IF FRP is locked, unlock bootloader again. I quiet don't understand how the command are not allowed or so. You are definitely doing something wrong.

The problem is I cannot unlock bootloader again, flash anything or boot into any image in fastboot mode, I always get "ERROR: (Command not allowed)", attempting to relock the bootloader shows "ERROR: (Root type is at risk)"
EDIT: I have done some research for the dload method, If I want to dload to hopefully fix it, I'll need VNS-L22C636B381, but the official link from the hicloud is dead, if anyone could help me with that, that'd be great.
Last EDIT: Ended up scratching the above idea as it didn't work, gritted my teeth as I bought DC Phoenix and will update if it works out with the .APP from the latest package I found on firmware finder.
