Can't flash my system

Hey,
one day my phone suddenly stopped working properly so i rebooted it. But instead of rebooting it had a bootloop.
I erased the whole phone and tried to flash the stock image but I get the following errors:

Thank you for every hint

Seems like bad eMMC. RMA if the phone's under 2 years.

Is it for me possible to change the eMMC?
If yes where can I buy one ?

Forget about it. eMMC is a BGA part, you need professional tools or a lot of luck to change one at home successfully. If you could get a new motherboard it would be better, but I don't recommend it as a new motherboard would come blank or clone IMEI and you have no way of changing it to original one, and a used motherboard may have other problems/barred IMEI.

So what should I do now?
My phone is older than 2 years...

You could try follow this guide, but I don't think it will help (it's mainly for people who don't have working bootloader mode). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2347060
Failing that, new phone time. Moto G has similar specs at a good price.

Hey.. No relax.. Your software is messed up.. Do this--->>>
1. download the nexus factory image from Google developers
2. download wugfresh toolkit
3. Go to "flash stock+unroot" and tick device is softbricked
4. navigate to the factory image you have downloaded
5. let the toolkit finish,
PS:- DO NOT INTERRUPT THE FLASHING PROCESS
The device should boot up

I tried it first; it didn't work (Nexus Root Toolkit by WugFresh) gave same message :crying:. I tried flashing standalone using fastboot commands that also gives same error. Copied the full log from NRT

Booting up your freshly flashed stock device...
------------------------------------------------------------------
Wait for your device to finish booting up...
- It may appear to be boot looping; just wait...
- It could take 5-10 minutes; please be patient...
When its finally booted back up, please remember
to re-enable USB debugging if you plan on using
the toolkit to perform other operations.
NOTE: If this process was too quick and your device
is still in bootloader mode, then flashing stock may
have failed or been incomplete. Simply check the
log above: if you notice it skipped steps because it
didn't meet certain requirements, like the bootloader
or baseband version, then consider enabling 'Force Flash'
mode in the toolkits options menu and trying the
'Flash Stock + Unroot' processs again. Cheers.

Oh... yup... flash memory is bad

[Q] Boot loop, unable to write to 'system'

Hi,
I've been trying to put Nethunter on my nexus and seems to have bricked the device.
My main issue is being unable to write to 'Bootloader' and' 'System'. See below for the problem I'm having.
I've tried a number of different images and variations on the steps but nothing seems to work. Any help would be great! Thanks

Hi, if you restart do you have the same apps and system there was before? Or is all erased as it should be according to your erase actions in fastboot?
If all works the same as it was it seems you have the same problem as us. There is unfortunately still no solution for this problem. If it is only a bootloader writing problem I also can't help you out, sorry.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588911

There is nothing. It gets stuck on the google logo and never gets past that stage so I assume it's been completely wiped.

Nexus 7 2012 Wi-Fi stucked at bootloader

Hi all, I'm really a newbie and hope you can help me with my Nexus 7 2012 wi-fi.
I tried to downgrade to 4.4.4 ( becasuse from 5.0 the tablet was unusable) following the instructions I found on gottabemobile.
I unlocked the device and everything seemed ok but when I try to write the new image with flash-all.bat I get the following errors, like the computer can't communicate with the device.

If I try a fastboot devices I can see the serial number of the tablet but it is stucked in fastboot mode.
The bootloader is v. 4.23, product name is grouper, the image I'm using is image-nakasi-ktu84p (nakasi-ktu84p-factory-2c6e4d6f.tgz)
In computer management I see Android Device > Android Bootloader Interface
What did I do wrong? Have I bricked the device or it can be saved? Thanks in advance for any help.

Did you try with a different USB cable / a different USB port? Because it looks really as a communication problem.
Nevertheless be sure not to flash one of the factory images which contain a defective bootloader! Normally I am unpacking the factory image and flash boot.img and system.img manually by fastboot, i.e.:
- fastboot flash boot boot.img
- fastboot flash system system.img

Thanks for your help AndDiSa: I changed cable and port and flashed the images one by one and it worked!
Just one question: is Android 4.3 faster that 4.4 on the Nexus 7? Will I miss something big if I downgrade to 4.3?

You should probably even try 6.x

Can't update bootloader from LJ12 to MF01...

Hey all,
My nexus 10 randomly started bootlooping a while back (i was on some custom firmware on something like 4.2, but never bothered to update because I rarely used it). Today I decided to take the plunge and try and restore this thing to stock firmware, so I tried to install the stock firmware on the google site for 5.1.1... and it didn't work. This was the log:

Apparently, despite writing the MF01 bootloader to the tablet, it didn't take. I tried to do this manually with fastboot, but this also didn't hold - my tablet still defiantly displays its bootloader version as MANTALJ12.
Is there anything I can do to beat the new version into its head? Did I mess something up? Or am I just SOL?
Thanks in advance...
