[SOLVED] Recovery loop - Bricked? - Reboot Mode Flag: Recovery

Hello everyone,
I'm not new to flashing and ROMs, so I tried flashing the Android L AOSP build from here. I succeded and wanted to install gapps through TWRP. I don't exactly know what I did. Now when I power on my device, I always get stuck in recovery. I already reflashed the 4.4 factory image and the AOSP lollipop build serveral times, but my fastboot info still says "Reboot Mode Flag: Recovery".
Summary: Fastboot works, I can flash imgs. Every time I start/restart it reboots to recovery.
I also tried relocking and unlocking, but I had no luck.
I hope I get my Nexus 10 working again.

Boot into fastboot and try to wipe the /misc partition....
Code:

Thx Josh

Thanks for your reply, but it didn't work. Still the same.

How did you flash the android 5.0 zip ?
Thx Josh

I extracted the imgs from the zip and fastboot flashed them one by one. Then I flashed twrp (the stock recovery didn't work seither), rebooted to twrp and installed pa pico gapps with modified script. When I rebooted, that worked. I booted to recovery a few times to make the Google Now Launcher a system app. Since that it is only rebooting to recovery.

I doubt that it's bricked.
Have you tried flashing the factory image KTU84P exactly like instructed here? :
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

Nope I already tried that..

once when i was upgrading from 4.3 to 4.4 i experienced something very similar. nothing worked.
the way i fixed it was to relock and then unlock the bootloader (even though it appeared unlocked, something was wrong.) I hope this helps.

I finally got it working. Thanks for the time you spent helping anyway.. So I flashed CWM through fastboot and restarted to recovery. CWM cleared the boot flag properly, which TWRP didn't. Now booting

[help] Can't install twrp

hii guys i can't install twrp on my play.....whenever i enter the command i get the error
"error: cannot load twrp-lux-2.8.7.0"
also the windroid tool says twrp flashed successfully but when i reboot into recovery it boots into stock recovery with "no command" on display
any help appreciated

What are you typing when trying to flash?
fastboot flash recovery nameoffile.img

Not sure if you are having the same issue I did.
Are you flashing TWRP then using the reboot command to restart your phone immediately?
If so, try flashing TWRP again. Instead of rebooting, try to access the recovery menu right after flashing. This worked for me. The post I saw related to this mentioned the Moto was overwriting something when rebooting. I haven't had any issues since.

Flashed TWRP, phone no longer booting

I've been following the steps to install a custom recovery and ultimately root, but I'm now stuck unable to boot my phone.
I started on Android 7.1.1 and this is what I've done:
Installed Version UnlockTool_2017_0803(android M)
Unlocked the boot loader using the app
Restarted and entered fastboot
Ran "flash recovery twrp-3.1.0-0-Z01H-20170408.img" (downloaded from https://mega.nz/#F!p90wgAaY!l1JbJilmAUEKTKWu43pT9w)
Checked that TWRP was successfully installed (it was)
Rebooted but I'm stuck on the "Powered by Android" screen
I can see the following information:
Code:
FASTBOOT MODE
Image version - WW_user_20.31.49.2_20170620
DEVICE STATE- unlocked
Any advice on what I can do to boot successfully? I was planning on following the steps in the no os, no recovery.img (https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3-zoom/help/os-recovery-img-t3628944) thread, but it doesn't seem to be the same problem that I'm having.
Anyone have any tips or suggestions?

Let me answer my own question. I found that I needed to install SuperSU for the phone to boot correctly. I had assumed that I could do SuperSU or Magisk after having checked that I could boot first ... my mistake. Hope this helps someone else.

Little help stucked on OP logo at boot

Hello,
First to get this out of the way i have searched the topic and there were several "solutions" none worked for me.
How it started, I downloaded the latest LieneageOS update as always, set the phone to do it's thing, came back and the phone was stucked on OP log, tried a little reboot, nothing.
No access to recovery or fastboot.
computer wouldn't recognize device even after installing drivers, this guide helped me a little https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/...ck-guide-for-a-hard-bricked-oneplus-2.347607/
found tools got fastboot back and original recovery.
via fastboot attempted to installed TWRP
fastboot flash recovery twrp****.img
and then tried to boot into recovery
fastboot boot twrp****.img
Not able to boot into twrp
after all that my phone still stucked on the boot OP logo
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone has any idea, sorry I have been scouring and reading everywhere, but I can't find a solution.
Thank you

So i have been trying many things and finally getting somewhere. I apologize for the long post, but i have been trying so many things to get this device back to speed.
So flashing TWRP newer version for some reason is not letting me boot into recovery.
I have flashed twrp-2.8.7.0 and i am able to boot into recovery, however when trying to install the ROM (LineageOS 16) i get error E3004.
Searching the web i find that the correction is to that error is to update TWRP, thus i have tried flashing
twrp-3.2.1-0 and twrp-3.1.1-0 and once installed i am not able to boot into recovery again.
I flashed 2.8.7.0 and i was able to get in, thus from inside TWRP i did an image install of twrp-3.1.1-0 and rebooted, recovery won't load. I proceeded to repeat this until i get a result.
I flashed twrp-3.0.2-0 and be able to boot. However still not able to install LOS.
Once i tried flashing twrp-3.0.2-1, recovery won't load.
For sake of argument i flashed twrp-3.0.2-0 and attempted a image install for twrp-3.0.2-1, but the system still won't boot to recovery.
I have completely formatted the phone.
I hope someone could give me a little advice . Thank you.

@thanhchaua6 Watch this video for unbricking your phone Unbrick https://youtu.be/xRSjsDp-Siw that is complete guide situation

Hi. I have followed the above video's instructions and the problem is still not resolved. It is still stuck on boot logo. No boot loop. Just won't go ahead of the start up logo. I cannot figure out the problem. I have downloaded the latest firmware using Frija and flashed it successfully using ODIN. It still does not work. After trying the standard solution multiple times, I did a NAND erase and re-partition using ODIN and flashed the firmware successfully, still facing the same issue. Please help, I am desperate.

Hi,
Followed the instructions. nothing happened.
