I've been having issues with my Nexus 7. The first time it was stuck in a boot loop not making it past the Google logo. I booted into the bootloader, flashed a new factory image, and I was off.
Then a few weeks later the same thing happened. Only this time, I can't get a factory image to flash. Any ideas?
I think my flash memory is gone bad.

It might be helpful if you could be more specific... like, what errors did you encounter?... how did you go about flashing a factory image?... did you use a toolkit, like Wugs?... or just regular fastboot?
For somebody to assist you in diagnosing a given problem, in the hope of fixing it... they need all the facts available... no matter how seemingly innocuous or irrelevant.
The 'devil', as it is said, resides very much in the 'detail'.
Rgrds,
Ged.
Thanks Ged. I guess I was kinda hoping for a tool that could some how test the memory.
Here's the output from the toolkit:

Flash Google Factory Image
Before starting the process your device must be in Bootloader Mode.
In the following instructions you will learn how to do it:
1. Power off the device.
2. Press and hold Volume Down, then press and hold Power.
3. Your device screen should show an image of an opened android.
You're now in the Bootloader Mode! If you don't see the image,
you must follow the instructions again.
4. Please connect the device to your PC via USB.
5. Do you want to start the process? [Y/N]: Y

Not sure what else would be helpful to see/know. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the help. I downloaded the latest image for the Nexus 7 Wifi (NOT 2013) and attempted to flash the bootloader but I get this:

I found this thread, which I took to mean to download the bootloader from the 4.3 image. I did that but get the same result.
Also, it shows that I already have 4.23 so it seems like I wouldn't need to flash this in the first place?
Thanks again for the help.
Then skip the bootloader but do the rest of the steps
And you are just using fastboot right? No toolkits

Looks like data partition is corrupt, hopefully fixable but you will need adb shell. So continue on with the steps above and hopefully you can get into either recovery or os, then you can use dd or fsck or something to format, well hopefully so long as it is not too corrupt

It's also "locking up" on most every command that I send. By that I mean, you can't move through the bootloader menu.
Any other thoughts?
Sorry to say but I feel your nand is fried... If you still have warranty you should claim it but as of now I would give it 50/50 that even JTAG would work to resurrect you tab

I have a razr m. It came with stock JB. I safestrapped it. I later had an issue so i tried to fastboot it using DROID_RAZR_M_Utility1.10. It worked but then i got an error in fastboot. I tried RSD. I get an error failed flashing process. 1/19 flash partition "gpt_main0.bin" -> PHONE returned FAIL. When using the razr m utility i get "writing 'system'... INFOProtocol error (multiflash unexpected).

Any help? stuck in the same situation
bootloader is unblocked?
U have to decompress first with rsd and then extract happened to me but u r gonna need the fast boot files
Sent from my XT907 using xda app-developers app
Yep, if you can't get the utility to work, do through RSD itself. I've used the Utility three times in the last week, and have had no problems. Not sure why you're having issues.
i found a solution - my fastboot was outdated. This created a requirement for the windows version of the Razr M utility. RSD never worked for me

hi, can you tell me how you fixed this problem, im getting the error in rsd and when i use matt's razr m utility.
i cd'ed into the utility folder and ran the utility. If that doesn't work you can try opening the fastboot update file and manually sending the commands through fastboot.

From what I understand, you can edit the XML file inside the zip file and remove the line with got_main0.bin. Save it and it should install. No guarantees, that's just what I read.

i did that and it still gets the failure and same result, it reboots and i see the red M and it just goes black. a lil bit more info, I was getting fail on the maintance update, so i tried rebloated my phone, and it was still failing, so i did a restore using twrp from a backup, but the camera was force closing, so i did a system wipe using twrp and now i think i'm bricked. safe strap shows up but is disabled and gets no input. anyone can help?
Try manually flashing everything based on the files in the XML file and see where you get an error. Use the fastboot flash and erase commands based on lines in the XML file

im having the same issue bricked and cannot boot and bootloader is locked:crying:
What OS are you using on your computer to run the utility? Are you using the Motorola charging/usb cable? Have you tried a different USB port on your computer? Is your battery charged.

I also tried it on a couple of PCs, with different cables, changing the xml, everything i could find to do. are we dead in the water? does this phone have a year warranty? the safe strap screen is still coming out, will that make the phone out of warranty?

maybe your download file is corrupted ，try download it again , the toolbox should work under cmd mode, it's better than RSD
way.
hey guys. just wanted to come here to say that i had previously soft-bricked my 907, and using RSDlite in conjunction with the pertinent files from matt's utility (seems to need to be 1.20 ; 1.10 absolutely did not work) got my handset working again in like 10 minutes. additional details available on request, but essentially it was a matter of having the phone turned on in AP fastboot mode, plugged into a USB port, at roughly 90% power, and clicking "start" in RSD lite 6.14. JB 4.1.2 stock (i used the fb files from matt's 1.20 file, haven't really investigated whether or not this is a crucial detail). i was dealing with a totally useless phone during the moments leading up to this process having worked.
Device: Nexus 7 (2012) WIFI only
After 4.3 update device started locking up and had to repeatedly long-press power to reboot. Factory defaut fixed first time, Second time (because it started happening again) could not recover from factory default. boot.img will not install and returns a (remote: FileWriteFailed) error.
I've tried multiple cables, PCs, and toolkits with no luck.
I can load bootloaders without issue.
I can format and load system, userdata, recovery (have loaded stock, TWRP, CWM recoveries) all appear to load without issue and work fine but haven't been able to fix this issue.
Once the boot.img flash is attempted, the device locks up hard and a long-press of power is needed to bring it back.
I can boot to Google screen with (Start, Power off, Recovery mode, Restart bootloader options) or directly to bootloader without issue.
First tried restoring 4.3 factory, but have since been trying 4.2.2 factory using Nexus Root Toolkit, Nexus 7 Toolkit, and a lot of SDK command line of fastboot commands. I can run ADB commands if I first get into recovery.
Is there a option I can tickle or something else anyone knows I can try? I'm beginning to think the boot sector of the flash is defective (if this makes sense).
Here's an example of a fastboot update. It hasn't mattered the method, the outcome is always identical. It fails at boot.img flash write failure.

Hi All,
I'm using Mac Terminal, have latest SDK, adb and fastboot installed. I have Nexus 7 (2012) Wifi - Nakasi
I followed the pinned post to upgrade my 4.3 (JWR66Y) to KitKat 4.4. I rebooted into fastboot and started ./flash-all.sh

You need to wait a but, because the system image us about 630MB, which may take round about two minutes to get transferred and flashed.

I waited 20 minutes the first time and 15 minutes the second time.
I tried flashing using different method from fastboot (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312). Problems happen when flashing system.img (~600MB).
Has anyone else found out the checksums aren't working? I get an error "E:signature verification failed" when using "flash-all.sh" from recovery mode (different method i've tried)
Note: no problems updating my nexus 4
Just wanted to update you on a solution if anyone has a similar problem.
I erased the system image through fastboot.
./fastboot erase system

Flashed the system image for old stock 4.3

Ran the flash-all script
./flash-all.sh

System was updated and worked! I back-dated to android 4.3, then did a second flash-all script to update to the current version of android 4.4. I believe that the original factory image for 4.4 was not working. The factory image was updated a day later - this is the file i used.
Thanks to everyone in xda. The many posts I read - even not directly related to my problem - provided a solution.
I hope my next post isn't so noob

Well,I got the similar problem the other day on my Nakasig when I was flashing factory images through Fastboot.
Not only did I try the "flash-all.bat" command, but I also manually inputted each command line one after another.
However, I still encountered the same issue and waited for more 30 minutes during the "sending system" process.
Even worse was that I unplugged my N7 and tried to boot it,which led me to be stuck with the Google logo.:crying:
After removing the battery and booting it into Fastboot again,this time I decided to use Wug's toolkit to flash it.:good:
And thankfully,it worked and I can grab the delicious Kitkat now.
BTW, my N7 still failed to pass Hashcheck while using Wug's automatic method, therefore I just downloaded the Factory images and used Wug's tool to navigate to the .tgz file and then flash it.It spent me around 2 minutes to complete the "sending system" process this time.
Gave my 2012 N7 to my nephew, a month later it's frozen 'Google' in the center and a green arrow / start up top. Using the vol. keys I can cycle between start/reboot bootloader/recovery mode/power off, selecting anything but power off loops.
Also, I had to reinstall the sdk but 'adb devices' shows nothing. Any hope of bringing this back to life?

If you are in fastboot, adb commands will not work, you need to use "fastboot devices" to see if you are connected. If you are flash a recovery from fastboot and you can work fairly easily from there. Is the bootloader locked or unlocked?

Hi, joe2262...
'adb devices' will not show anything if the device is booted into fastboot mode.
The command you need is 'fastboot devices'...
This will confirm you have a working FASTBOOT connection... and from which you can run fastboot commands... such as fastboot flashing a Custom Recovery (CWM or TWRP).
Or alternatively, fastboot flashing back to factory stock.
Either way... I suspect your Nexus 7 is likely recoverable.
At worst, it's just 'softbricked'.
Rgrds,
Ged.
Yes, it's unlocked but I want to go to a stock install.

Do I need to format boot, recovery and system, is that the proble,m?
Sent from my SM-T310 using xda premium
Since yesterday my YotaPhone 2 bricked. It is YD206, bought from China. I did nothing special - AlwaysOnDisplay kind of hanged up (with some artefacts on it ) and after I went to reboot it just went into boot loop. It was with marshmallow (I bought it that way - used). I tried power and vol+ - it just continues to restart and shows Powered by Android pic. Now I can only put it in download mode (power and vol-). Tried to flash it with yota-flash and 4.4.3-S01-003-CN1.0.3.32a.zip firmware - no success. Everything went just fine, but it reboots again shows powered by Android and in some time phone reboots and shows the same. I succeeded to load TWRP Recovery (twrp-v5.img). I wiped it out - no change at all. I tried to flash the system.img with different sizes - still no luck.
Guys, I'm really stuck here, so any help is appreciated! Cheers
I think, I'm experiencing the exact same issue with my YotaPhone YD206. It was on the 5.0.0-RU-1.1.134 firmware before the blackout happened.
This is a description of the issue on my side. Could you please confirm if it is the case with yours? I read many threads but found no solution.
The EPD display is stuck on the same screen from the weather widget.
After powering off the device, it shows the "Powered by android" logo and ends in an endless bootloop (auto-restarting each 10 minutes).
The phone can be put into the "Downloading Mode" without problem, and fastboot can also detect it:

First of all 10x for your reply!
1>>> AlwaysOnDisplay of my phone stuck on a page of a book I was reading.
2>>> Same here: After powering off the device, it shows the "Powered by android" logo and ends in an endless bootloop
3>>> Yes, the phone can be put into the "Downloading Mode" without problem, and fastboot can also detect it:
4>>> All flashing attempts went without any error. I tried with CN, RU and APC fimwares. Tonight Im gonna try with HK. I even tried manually to flash every partition with fastboot (https://forum.xda-developers.com/yotaphone-one/help/y2-bootloop-to-recovery-t3509883) - still the same result. Tried to install the official Marshmallow through TWRP - no luck at all. Tomorrow gonna open the phone and disconnect the battery for a while - will post here what the result is.
The interesting part is that installing TWRP is not possible on all firmwares uploaded on a phone. It works for sure with 4.4.3-S01-003-CN1.0.3.01a
Cheers!

After that it loads TWRP 3.2.0 by itself.

No luck again - I disconnected YP2's battery for some time, but the phone still acts as before. I plan to test all available CN firmwares and to use 'fastboot -S' command for system.img with 512M chunks and 256M chunks. Will let you know if there is any progress. Cheers!
I've run out of ideas and I'm thinking about to return it to GearBest.
Thanks anyway for the updates and the work!

Hi guys, as far as I remember when playing around with flashing my yotaphone is that sometimes it makes a difference if you first erase and also that the yotaflasher tool does not always do this completely correctly.
So sadly it is better to understand what is going on, then do it yourself and tweak it until it works.
I used my own scripts so I could control what was being flashed instead of having to always flash everything.
So try extracting the firmware yourself and then flashing every part with an executable bat file.
Userdata should be erased also to make it work, so try to get a backup for that first if you can.
here are the scripts that I used:
To make this work, you need to extract the zip file manually to the firmware folder of your yota_flasher folder and put the bat script also in the yota_flasher folder.
Code:
fastboot.exe flash modem firmware\radio\NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot.exe flash modem firmware\radio\NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot.exe flash rpm firmware\radio\rpm.mbn
fastboot.exe flash rpm firmware\radio\rpm.mbn

fastboot.exe flash tz firmware\radio\tz.mbn
fastboot.exe flash sbl1 firmware\radio\sbl1.mbn
fastboot.exe flash sbl1 firmware\radio\sbl1.mbn
fastboot.exe flash aboot firmware\emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot.exe flash aboot firmware\emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot.exe flash recovery firmware\recovery.img
fastboot.exe flash recovery firmware\recovery.img
fastboot.exe flash boot firmware\boot.img
fastboot.exe flash boot firmware\boot.img
fastboot.exe erase system
fastboot.exe flash system firmware\system.img
fastboot.exe erase userdata
fastboot.exe flash userdata firmware\userdata.img
fastboot.exe flash persist firmware\persist.img
fastboot.exe flash persist firmware\persist.img
fastboot.exe flash cache firmware\cache.img
fastboot.exe flash cache firmware\cache.img
pause
Edit: fixed some badly copy pasted edited code
Edit: Changed code to flash most files 2 times just to be sure.

10x for the reply, but I still have no luck. YotaPhone continues to act like a brick. All of bat file commands end with status OKAY, still phone goes into boot loop. Just one little correction:

Which firmware have you tried and where did you get it?
and I also added a line to erase the cache
Code:
fastboot.exe erase cache
you did that too right?
And regarding recovery, with marshmellow with twrp ( found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70206915&postcount=49), i noticed that you have to release the power button when the phone shows the android logo while still holding the vol-up until it goes into recovery. So procedure is to reboot the phone by or while holding power+vol-up buttons and then release the power button when the android - text shows but keep holding vol-up.
Thanks guys!
Same here. All of fastboot commands end with status OKAY (including erase cache), but the phone still stuck at boot.
I tried with the Chinese firmware, version: 4.4.3-S01-003-CN1.0.3.32a, which I downloaded from ftp://fw.ydevices.com/ while the site was still alive.

Which firmware have you tried and where did you get it?
and I also added a line to erase the cache
Code:
fastboot.exe erase cache
you did that too right?
And regarding recovery, with marshmellow with twrp ( found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70206915&postcount=49), i notice that it is not so easy to get it into recovery sometimes using the button-combination, sometimes I have to wait till the android logo appears to press and hold power+volup.

Thanks guys!
Same here. All of fastboot commands end with status OKAY (including erase cache), but the phone still stuck at boot.
I tried with the Chinese firmware, version: 4.4.3-S01-003-CN1.0.3.32a, which I downloaded from ftp://fw.ydevices.com/ while the site was still alive.
The content of the firmware:
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\yotaphone_flasher\firmware>tree /F
Folder PATH listing
Volume serial number is 0000008B 09A6:99FE

Well I think the only option is to try another one.
Here is one link with all roms: https://forum.xda-developers.com/yotaphone-one/general/firrmware-files-one-files-onedrive-t3633138
unfortunately you have to download them all together :/.
Here I uploaded the chinese firmware files that are working for me(, i just tested):
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_Z57M1pKWRubG1ycDk1aVJuWXM
One more important thing. Try doing:
Code:
fastboot.exe oem unlock
It seems that the phone gets relocked when flashing probably the boot.img(not sure about that).
AND try running every flash command twice! For twrp recovery for example, it did not work until I ran it twice without restarting. Strange stuff.
Still no luck - I tried with tomgaga's firmware, erased the cache, replaced script for flashing tsg with a one that flashed rpm. The phone still goes into boot loop. I tried tomgaga's advice about pressing vol+ & pow and when 'Powered by Android' logo appears to let go pow - all that in order to enter recovery mode. It jsut keeps rebooting with 'Powered by Android' logo. Still with all CN firmwares I can load twrp recovery image.
I have to say how happy I am that you guys participate in that thread and keep it alive. I have no doubts that in the end we will succeed unbricking this wonderfull phone. Cheers
One more thing - when I try with command:
Code:
fastboot.exe oem unlock
phone just reboots in that well known 'Powered by Android' bootloop. I guess it have to do something - maybe show 'Your OEM is now unlocked' or something. Best regards guys!

Ok this might sound stupid, but could you for certainty check that your buttons are functioning correctly by booting some normal recovery using fastboot and then see if vol up, down, and power work consistently as expected.
And when you say it goes into bootloop, do you mean that it shows the yotaphone animation for a while first?
Hi guys,
same behaviour here for:
Code:
fastboot.exe oem unlock
It reboots and nothing happens after 'Powered by Android" logo.

Booting into recovery via fastboot also not possible. I don't think that the buttons are defect. At least booting into "Downloading mode" is possible.

For my device, it means that it shows the very first "powered by android" logo, no Yotaphone animation. After 5-10 minutes it reboots and this happens continuously, till battery runs out.

How to you try to get into recovery using fastboot? And what happens then?
And you can also try flashing the russian lollipop firmware:
I uploaded it here:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_Z57M1pKWRuSm5LTXhBYzJfS00
it includes the hybrid modem by default, but the russian and chines radio files are included too.
And one more thing, it seems I did not include a line to flash the persist partition, for me it worked without, but you could to try that too:
Code:
fastboot.exe flash persist firmware\persist.img
fastboot.exe flash persist firmware\persist.img
Hello,
did you solved this problem?
I have the same problem as you. Only "powered by android" and restart. Power and - button ->downloading, power and +button -> nothing
The EPD display is stuck on the same screen from the yota reader, bootloap every 10 seconds. Between every restart lcd display flash with blue color.
I didnt make any firmware upgrades or anything else with software, phone didnt fall down...
Thanks for help
