Hi, I am a happy owner of the HP Slate 7 Extreme which is basically the same device as you guys are using.I am still on the 4.2 Jelly bean since HP are not pushing over the air updates with our devices.I want to use the script from the development forum "[Script] [Utility] Nvidia Tegra Note 7 Kitkat Unlock BL, Restore, Recovery, & Root", I want to know if anyone has tried to use it with the Slate Extreme or if it simply should work on the Jelly Bean aswell. Thanks guys.

i have not test that yet but i believe it should work because i have tested the 4.4.2 and 4.2.2 evga ROM from here using the cwm install from sdcard method..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2627671
The only thing that puzzles me now is i am unable to perform a system recovery from HP update.zip using cwm.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=6608632#N147
So right now i am stuck with 4.2.2 evga ROM all is good and functional.
I have read some post that by updating OTA fix issue in 4.4 but i have no idea on how to get the OTA update.
p/s: This is my first tablet and root attempt...
edit:
i found out that rootjunky has already released the 4.4.2 with 2.3 OTA i will give it a try and feedback later

First, nope, you'll still get freezing. I've tried all the ROMs.
Second, If you want to go back to HP's recovery, do the following:
Create a copy of update.zip and navigate to META-INF\com\google\android and open up updater-script
Delete the first three lines.
Transfer your new update.zip to your device and flash. Allow it to re-write the recovery partition.
NOTE THAT YOUR DEVICE WILL NOT ADVANCE PAST THE BOOT ANIMATION. THIS IS NORMAL.
Copy the original update.zip to a SD card and insert it into the device.
Now go to the HP recovery partition that now exists on your device and follow HP's restore instructions.
You're done, the stock 4.2.2 that came with your device is now installed.
Had to figure this out the hard way after I lost my original backup.
To the original poster, you can get it to work, but you need to make modifications to the script's fastboot commands (they will require "fastboot -i 0x03F0" before they will do anything) and you will need to setup your machine for ADB with the Slate 7 Extreme. It won't work out of the box, you can find support for that here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Android-Tablets-e-g-HP-Slate-7/ADB-drivers/td-p/2574571
There was an individual who has received the 4.4.2 update from HP on his Slate Extreme over at the HP forums. I believe he stated he received 20 units donated directly from HP and was wondering why only 1 of them received the update. I believe the reason stated is that he most likely received a non-retail unit by accident. Not sure if he ever dumped the ROM or even knows how. I don't know either otherwise I'd try to contact him to get him to do so.
Re-write recovery partition?

I did flash the modified update.zip but CWM doesn't give me the option to re-write the recovery partition. I go straight to "Install from sdcard complete". How is that re-write done?
*Update* All done - Had to select NO to questions on reboot (Replace recovery and root). Thanks so much - back to stock 4.2.2

Finally success!

I have the 4450 extreme and one the things that was a little different- is that I had put the update zip on the sd card prior and it did the update on its own... WEIRD but acceptable! rooted and on 4.4.2- thanks man!
I didn't have any luck doing it this way. I ended up getting there by a slightly different avenue.
My s7e was totally non functional beyong fastboot and recovery mode being operational. I ended up downloading tegratools 2.2. Using the fastboot included in that I unlocked my boot loader with fastboot by the command
Code:
fastboot -i 0x03F0 oem unlock
(The '-i 0x03F0' is a code relating to the specific model, apparently without this the tablet will ignore your command. Please also remember that the unlock factory resets the tablet.)
It may be overboard again, but I also formatted all the system partitions
Code:
fastboot -i 0x03F0 erase boot
fastboot -i 0x03F0 erase system
fastboot -i 0x03F0 erase userdata
fastboot -i 0x03F0 erase cache
fastboot -i 0x03F0 erase preinstall
fastboot -i 0x03F0 reboot
I uploaded cwm recovery from the above version of tegratools to my s7e as it seems a bit more forgiving with signatures than the stock recovery. I used that to upload a version of update.zip with the "assert" lines removed from META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script. I also self signed the .zip to reduce the likelyhood of my upload being rejected by the tablet, it may not be needed, but I did it anyway.
Code:
adb sideload slate7update-signed.zip
when completing the firmware flash, apparently there is a common problem of the kernel not flashing correctly when recovery takes place and giving an "Error 7", this is the problem I think you solved by re-writing the unmodified firmware (but that didn't work for me)
Anyway I had to fix it by dropping back to fastboot and flashing it to "staging", which puts the kernel in a placeholder until the next boot, at which point the kernel will be written to the correct spot. Because of this writing to the correct partition, you will notice a quick double-boot as the updated kernel is written to the correct point in firmware.
Code:
fastboot -i 0x03F0 flash staging "c:\fastboot-s7e\blob"
I hope this helps.
Oh and to those curious, the beats version appears incompatible with the standard s7e, I tried modifying a rom in the same way as above and it just went to a blank screen. My guess is they've done some form of sanity check in the kernel, given that every "beats" version I've read about in tablets has been a software-only modification. I've not bothered trying to use the beats version rom with the s7e kernel, I'll leave that for someone else to try in greater depth as I'm just happy that I got everything working again.
references:
Fastboot (previously this): This is a copy of the twrp/cwm roms as well as fastboot & adb taken from tegratools 2.2 mentioned above.
SignApk (Previously this): The java files and self signing certificate I used to sign the .zip file. It was actually a bit of a pain to find a working signapk.jar that had the valid certificates included, most were broken in one way or another when trying to sign on ubuntu 12.04.
slate7update-signed.zip (previously this): A signed copy of update.zip with META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script modified to remove the assert validation lines sanity checks, be careful with this, you could nuke your tablet if you use it on an incompatible bit of hardware.
guide.txt (previously this): A full how-to with a number of things I've omitted from this response.
To those wondering, I collated the above procedure from a dozen different links on a good four or five websites, including a number of threads here on XDA. Thank you to anyone out there that contributed to the information I found, you really made my day so much better in being able to recover my tablet.
It Worked! But...

I was able to unlock my bootloader using the above method and it worked. My s7e rebooted and everything was working normally. I loaded the bootloader again to go in and do a cache wipe and my 3 year old bumped into me as I was holding down the volume+ and power buttons. Now I'm stuck in ADX mode (black screen but recognized by my pc, have tried connecting to charger, volume+ and power, volume - and power, nothing works) . I've read that Advent has released adx files for the Vega Note 7 and you can use Tegra Note 7 Super Tools to restore the Nvidia Note 7. I'm wondering if I can use the update.zip file and the nvflash files from Nvidia to restore my tablet from ADX mode.
Any suggestions?
Mike-S, Thanks for the in depth how-to. I tried to sell my Extreme 4450 and the guy that I sold it to said when he received it was in boot loop. I got it back and it is indeed the one I sent him, however, now I have a bricked tab that doesn't even allow fastboot. I have, like others tried calling HP, tried installing per you instruction and finally considered just throwing away or selling. I almost seems like the recovery was wiped... I can get to uploading from SD and have tried using your info to accomplish with no success. Any suggestions? I hate to smash it or try and sell if I can fix it.
Thank you in advance for anyone's help

Damn, I'm sorry to say that I'm unsure if i'll be able to help much or at all. All i can suggest is look and see if there is any pre-boot subsystem that connects to your pc via usb, similar to the mediatek "preboot mt65xx" which can sort of provide a last gasp chance of recovery.
help with ROM
Hi there,
Need desperate help. I followed the instructions here but ended up with no OS in the s7e. I kept on trying to install a signed ROM via ADB, it reaches 100% senidng but always failed inside TWRP. Not succesful even with CWM. I even tried installing from SD card but no success. Please help, thank you.
Anyone still around here?
Mike S ... not sure you (or anyone else) is paying any attention to this thread anymore (and the HP Slate 7 Extreme at this point is a fairly old device) ... but I can't get any of these methods to work and my S7E (model 4450) is basically useless right now. When cold (i.e. not booted up in prior 30mins or so), I can boot it normally, but within about 10mins, it will "crash" to the all-white HP splash screen and will never recover. Holding the power button just has it go through initial startup, get to the white HP splash screen, and sit there until the battery runs down. I haven't been able to root it yet, so the bootloader still shows "locked". What's ironic is that this device is really all I need -- I don't play high-end games and mostly just stream shows -- but now it's completely unusable. I'm not sure which is easier ... trying to get this to root or just buying something else?
So far, to root, I've tried towelroot and Cydia Impactor, but both of those returned errors as others have reported. I tried following the steps that Mike S put up here, but without my tablet being rooted, adb and fastboot don't even detect my device from the PC (though the PC detects it because I'm able to see it in Windows Explorer and drag files to the storage) ... so it seems like I can't even get to install CWM or anything further.
Maybe the right thing to do is just to dump the paperweight ... it used to work so well but about 6 months ago this stupid HP white screen crash started happening, and since then it's become a regular thing that only takes about 10 mins (at most) before it craps out. I can get to the bootloader and onboard recovery mode, but that doesn't let me load anything.
Not sure where to go next but any advice would be appreciated!

Get your device drivers right (try androidsdk if it's still not getting recognised) and fastboot the stock system images (fastboot is not root dependent). By the way why were you trying those weird rooting methods ??? Just flash supersu from cwm/twrp and be done with it.
Thanks ... I'll try androidsdk. I actually am a root n00b and so I was trying to figure out the simplest way to go. I guess I guessed wrong! But of course before I can get that working I need the right drivers ... So I'll try that first. I was thinking the drivers were OK since my PC recognized the S7E when Android loaded (before it crashed to the white screen).
Couldn't get androidsdk to work
Hello again... I never could get androidsdk to work. My computer never recognized the tablet to be able to fastboot. *sigh* As much as I hate to give up, I don't know what else to do.... I might try another PC?

Hey Mike, you wouldn't still happen to have that signed update.zip since you've don't have it on Dropbox anymore?
Hello to everybody, so i was thinking my nakasi was really dead this time, the last thing i did was flashing a 5.1.1 rom next when i rebooted got stuck on lolipop boot loop so i restarted the tablet
manually to access the recovery, and to my awe, i couldn't no more access the recovery ! (latest twrp) tried again and again nothing, no recovery no bootloader, can't start the OS
always stuck on google logo with the options above, start, bootloader, recovery etc, today i realized i could access the bootloader and fastboot mode (ADB recognize my device when i type fastboot devices)
so i tried flashing stock image and stuff with no luck, tried many stock roms, tried wug's toolkit and the flash all.bat still no luck, i get all kind of error messages here is a screenshot, help is really appreciated if there is anything i can do to save it :
View attachment 3305126
the problem seems to be that i can't write the things i send to the tablet via ADB, tried the NVflash recovery today and got :

Have you tried not imputing the full file address as you have the emulator already running from that location.
So recovery command would be.
Fastboot flash recovery "name of recovery Img file here"
Just make sure that the image file is in the platform-tools folder.
Probably not your issue but its going to save you some typing.
Good luck

Thank you for the tip I'll certainly use it, but i don't think it is the culprit since as you can see in the screenshots
the files get sent successfully but cannot be written, my bootloader is unlocked by the way

Did you try the latest factory image? I noticed you are flashing a very old bootloader, possibly the first one? 4.23 is the current version.
Where is flatline_grouper.img coming from? I've never seen that.

Hello kind sir, of course at first i tried the 5.1.1 full factory image with the NRT toolkit and got the same writing errors next i tried many bootloaders
(one of them found it here as a 100% working bootloader) the Flatline is the recovery of the NVflash tool where you can access it to unbrick full bricked N7s
if you got blobs.bin of your N7 backed up (clearly not my case)
the flashing writing error i get it with everything i try to flash, recoverys bootloader system etc
when i send them with the flash all command they got sent to the tablet okay, but when writing i get the errors
i don't know but there is a small informations if that can help, before it broke my system was in EXT4 and all the rest in F2FS
It's entirely possible your memory has failed. I'm reading more and more people running into corrupted memory issues.
You can get a replacement motherboard cheap on eBay if nothing else works.

I'm still hoping for a software solution since my fastboot works fine, I'll let the motherboard solution my last i guess
Hello some news about the still staggering situations : when the tablet is off and i put the charger i get the battery refiling animation ! so that mean the bootloader isn't broken
and i still can access fastboot mode, even when i push a bootloader i get a signature match message, but the problem is still that the things i push can't be written as i'm still getting a :
FAILED <Remote: <FileWriteFailed>> changed usb cables, changed ports, the last time the tablet was working i had the system on EXT4 and the rest on F2FS, maybe if i can convert everything to EXT4 ?
Well,
basically subject says all.
I tried to install zulu99 Full android rom 2.1.
basically 'fastboot flash system system.img worked' but 'fastboot -w' failed ('no space left' error).
So I rebooted hoping to reflash a nandroid backup but now the box keeps on rebooting into twrp trying to wipe cache and data but failing. after a while it stops and black screen appears.
I attach the screen it presents when reboots.
Please tell me I didn't trash 220 euros.
Thanks.

Theres a hardware method to boot into the bootloader, this i think you can test, just to see if you can at least get into bootloader.....nothing more
Details in the official nvidia link
http://nv-tegra.nvidia.com/gitweb/?...ob_plain;f=README_SHIELD;hb=rel-22r18-partner
There's a thread here on the "questions" thread with users reporting that the timing of the hardware method can be a pain in the you know where.............might be worth looking into that thread for their experiences in booting the bootloader using the hardware method
Disclaimer:If your brave enough to risk a brick, read on
I suspect this might be the 2.1 stock/twrp issue........current twrp, or current stock dont play nice
Its a good sign that SOMETHINGS loading, rather then NOTHING booting, but dont know if theirs a solution
My analysis of the situation, of what little i know, the -w (wipe) command was expecting a stock recovery but instead got twrp, which is why your in this situation.........maybe, i stress maybe, if you could reflash stock again, you might be able to boot into android stock again and try full android again, leaving out twrp, until a twrp fix is found
Edit
Saying that, if the bootloader is, as i suspect, now using twrp to flash things, then you might be boned....... im no expert on bootloaders, stock "recoveries" and how they work, so i might be wrong on that
Reports around here say that 1.3 stock firmware is the recommended back to stock firmware, apparently, flashing any other firmware versions, bring their own issues.............
From 1.3 stock, use nvidias official OTA to upgrade from 1.3 stock, to 2.1 stock, then try 2.1 full android again...........note, i dont think you can skip firmwares i.e. you have to upgrade to 1.4, then to 2.0, then to 2.1, alot of downloading.......the OTA does'nt give you any other choice
Before doing anything that ive suggested, wait till someone with more experience to come along........i dont want to be responsible for you fully bricking your shield..........just wanna give you an idea of what i think has happened
If worse comes to worse, if you have warrenty, get a replacement
Gd luck........remember, this is an analysis of your predicament of what i THINK might of happened, and what steps, i likely might of entertained.......after looking into it more thouroughly, knowing that i could get a replacement if it went downhill.........so your mileage might vary

I had something similar about... shield goes booting in recovery and trying delete some cache and keeps repeat and repeat
Hardware boot in fastboot / bootloader mode
Accessing Bootloader via Hardware
Unplug power from the Shield Android TV. *
Wait a few seconds.
Hold down the power button.
Plug in power
Count to three
Release the power button
You should see the bootloader screen.
If you hold it down too long or not long enough, it simply doesn’t work.
Restore Shield Android TV to Stock
P.s. Personally me I followed this instructions and kind of magically got it in bootloader mode. First done by instruction and then just gave up and pressed randomly and fastboot screen appear. Thanks God I had to done only once, if I would do again I wouldn't had patients
Good luck with this, hope you will get sorted
Here will be link about where I got instructions about hardware boot

Thanks a lot fro your help.
I was able to put the box in fastboot mode.
Since I'm not that expert can you tell me where and which rom I have to download (I have a french 16gb version of the box).
Then I'd need to know exactly what commands to performs (even a link to a tutorial is fine).
I really appreciate your help. It seems I can (hopefully) save the box.
EDIT: The fastboot command gave me a (not enough space) when I bricked the box. Is there a risk it could happen again while flashing stock? No idea how much space I have left on the box really.
EDIT2: I found this page: https://developer.nvidia.com/shield-open-source
and I'm downloading this rom called nv-recovery-image-shield-atv-upgrade2_1.zip
and Intend to follow these instructions: http://developer.download.nvidia.co...TV/Upgrade-2.1/HowTo-Flash-Recovery-Image.txt
Can anyone please confirm I'm doing right?
EDIT with joy : I followed all the steps using that rom and it seems everything worked. I reconfiguring the box now. Thanks for help.
basically the procedure I intend to follow is this part (please confirm it's ok):
To flash this recovery image to your SHIELD, run the following commands from
the directory where you extracted the recovery image package. If this is the
first time you have done this procedure, you must unlock the bootloader. Get
DTB file name to use for flashing for your product(see below):
P.s. maybe Since past fastboot commands failed and I only flashed system from zulu99 I could skip the 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' command so if it fails again I still can attempt the fastboot process again?
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash staging blob
fastboot flash dtb <DTB file name>

You are on the right way with those links
P.s. You can do manual one by one entering or paste and copy those commands or (I'm doing) drag and drop file "flash-all.bat" on cmd previous opened there where you have abd/fastboot etc files and extracted RIGHT FIRMWARE (like shift and right click mouse "open command prompt here"
And after this all sit down and relax
Anyway you are on the right way.
P.s. Hope you download adb fastboot drivers somewhere from Internet !?!

So yeah I accidentally wiped my partitions as if I were installing a rom. Am I screwed until I get to a pc?
P.s. Out of all days to delete my backup rom file ?
Just set it to boot loader mode and flash stock images...I'm sure there's a tutorial on how to do it..I have the program installed on my computer ready for any time I brick my phone lol but I don't remember the name of the program right now
Edit: heres the link to the method I use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3258493
I'm assuming the OP doesn't have a PC due to the last statement he made. I would say yes, nothing you can do until you can get to a PC and flash stock images via Fastboot. Unless you have a ROM zip on your phone that is....which I'm assuming you don't.
You're kinda stuck, you need a PC to flash the factory images. TWRP can't flash OTA's anyway, so don't try that again either. I'd strongly recommend not using a toolkit to flash the factory images too. I have a detailed guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928
Hey guys, having a similar issue than zachbuilds. While rooting my nexus 6p on NRD9M, I formatted to system partition for root to stick and noticed twrp stated I have no OS installed. At that point I was going to flash stock image file when my nexus reverted from default MTP to charge only and now my Mac is unable to recognize my device Ann's now adb is non operable. I tried to fastboot adb commands but that isn't working either. Any one have any suggestions. I'm on stock with twrp custom recovery, no other changes were made to my device. Also, recovery and bootloader are accessible. Thanks for any help given.

Best just to flash back to factory images. Be cautious if you've flashed the Android N OTA though, there are some strange things going on with people trying to flash back to M. Read up before you flash.
I've actually tried flashing stock images but every time I tried to run fastboot command I get these errors, "command not found" and I believe the other erro is "file path not found". There's another error that I can't remember off the top of my head what it. When I get home I'll try to run the commands again and see what errors I get

Please post the entire command you are using, as written in your terminal prompt. "No command" sounds like an unrecognized command is being issued. We must use ./ in addition to the fastboot or adb command in order for OSX to execute the action. If following Heisenberg's guide for fastboot, the lone change you need to make for OSX is:
./fastboot devices
./fastboot flash
./fastboot reboot
./ADB devices
Try this out and post your results.

Just throwing this out there, it is possible to flash an OTA in TWRP. You still need a PC but its do-able.... I flashed Android N Final to my 6P yesterday by copying the OTA zip (uploaded thanks to another member) to SD, Wiped device as I normally would with any other ROM (left SD intact obviously), Flashed OTA ZIP, rebooted straight to bootloader after flash, fastboot erase boot, fastboot erase recovery, fastboot flashed DECRYPTED BOOT.img (which can be found easily), fastboot flashed TWRP 3.0.2-1 (version just released for N), fastboot format userdata, fastboot format cache, reboot from bootloader directly into TWRP, flashed superSU 2.74, reboot system..... Phone runs beautifully. Not a single issue. Entire process from start to finish was less than 10 minutes.
Its not the most practical route but it does indeed work. OTA just hes to contain the entire Image. I should also mention that this was a jump from a Marshmallow based rom (RR) so you don't have to be on an N preview in order to do this....
This is the whole situation:
I have Pure Nexus installed on my 6P, running great for months. Suddenly yesterday it rebooted while I was using it and sticking in a bootloop. "No problem", I thought, and wanted to reboot into recovery - but nope, can't access it anymore. So I tried to reflash the recovery when I got home, but I only get errorors
When using the command adb devices the line just stays blank. The same with fastboot commands, besides "Fastboot devices"
After messing around a couple hours with the drivers and so on, I managed to somehow get the fastboot command working again. But no sign for the ADB commands, probably because I didn't turn on USB-debugging.
I am now at the point, where I have reflashed Stock Android with the Nexus Root Toolkit and managed to get back into stock android recovery, but still can't get TWRP to boot. I didn't want to delete my personal data, but I saw no other way and formatted /data in stock recovery. But the problem with the bootloop is still there.
It's not the classic bootloop, it boots as far as the Google Logo, then shuts itself down and begins again. I have now reached the point where I have to say, that the hardware might be damaged too. I'd love to somehow get access to the internal storage at least, but I can't without a working ADB.
Reinstalled TWRP with every available version, none of them worked. I am able to access stock Android recovery, but adb commands aren't working from here anyway.
Is there an option to fix the recovery mode? If I could get this working, the rest would be easy for me.
Edit: The reboot looks like in this Link. Only difference is, my device doesn't even the reach the dots.

If you can get fastboot commands to work, just flash the factory image per Heisenberg's guide. Toolkits are more trouble than help. Return it to fresh stock with a full wipe and start fresh.

That vid you linked is an N5 with a stuck power button. It'll do the same thing and reboot recovery as well. It could be your issue but if it is it'll be the first stuck power button I've heard of on a 6P.
When you access fastboot does it stay on in fastboot or does it reboot from it?

You contradict yourself a bit so it is difficult to help you. You got to stock recovery but you can't boot into TWRP? If you have stock recovery, of course you can't boot into TWRP. You have wiped your data but you still want to preserve your data ... Huh?
Your phone isn't working so just nuke and pave with the command line and avoid toolkits. They are sometimes part of the problem.

When stock recovery is installed, I am from time to time able to access it (most of the times it just ends in a bootloop)
If I flash TWRP I can't access it, no matter how often I try
I have factory reset my phone, the stuff on the internal is still there and I want to reach this, as I have my chats, SMS, university stuff and so on backed up on the internal storage
I am trying everything - all the regular adb methods, toolkits, every driver, nothing is working
Sorry if you don't understand my situation, but I am in a pinch right now
You said you have fastboot working?
Download the factory image zip file. Extract it. Extract the zip file from inside that as well. Move the img files to your platform-tools folder.
Reboot your phone to the bootloader. Hold volume down+power from a powered off state.
Plug into PC, open command line from your platform-tools folder.
Type, fastboot devices
Does it show your serial number? If so, start flashing the following images;
Bootloader-angler-angler-xx.xx.img, radio-angler-angler-xx.xx.img, vendor.img, system.img, boot.img, recovery.img
Flash with fastboot.
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-angler-angler-xx.xx.img
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio-angler-angler-xx.xx.img
(Substitute "xx.xx" for the version number shown in the img files you unpacked)
Reboot bootloader
Code:
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Once you do that, boot to stock recovery and cache wipe. Reboot and you're stock. If you're still not able to boot after that post back.
Edit: You said you wanted to avoid flashing factory images to keep internal storage in tact. Do it this way and you can have your cake and eat it too.

I did this already exactly like you wrote, did it again now, and I am still stuck in the reboot loop (boots up to Google Logo, then shuts itself down; repeat)
Can't reach recovery mode either

If you flashed the factory images and still boot looping you may need to RMA.
Did you restore a TWRP backup?
Edit: Sorry, it's late and I have no sleep. I was wrong. I was thinking TWRP. Factory Reset from TWRP before my steps will keep internal storage I'm tact. Factory Reset from stock recovery will wipe internal storage. Everything. You mentioned you did that already from stock recovery before i made my reply. Your data is already gone as soon as you did that. If not, your emmc is likely corrupted and you need to RMA.

Try flashing TWRP 3.0.2-3 or boot into twrp through fastboot. Using
fastboot boot recovery <twrp filename>.img
I think booting to twrp using this command will work.
And here's the link to Twrp 3.0.2-3 , as its not available on Official Twrp page.

I had the same problem with my 5X, nothing worked I tried every possible solution described above and more. Nothing. I figured out that there was nothing to loose and followed directions from YouTube videos (links below) and it worked. Used heat gun at max temp for about 2 mins from each side. It's been about 12 hours since then, phone works flawlessly. Here are the links:

Be careful handling the motherboard after you heat the first side, let it cool first before you start working on the second side. The same with the second side do not pick it up until it's cool.
