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:

What should I do? Is my Phone bricked? Can I repair it?
Hope you guys will help me.
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.

[Q] N7 stuck at google screen, flash write failure, (Hardware replacement advice)

Yesterday, I was using my Nexus 7 tablet and it suddenly restarted itself. Since then it's been stuck at the Google screen every time I try to start the tablet.
Some info on my tablet:
- Running Kitkat 4.4.2 unrooted (did not update to 4.4.3 or 4.4.4)
- Can enter fastboot mode
- Cannot enter recovery mode (just gets stuck at google screen when I enter it)
- My warranty has ran out
I've tried to flash the device but I get this error:

I trawled through every thread I can find on this forum about this error, most of the time people just send it back to RMA for repairs. (however, my warranty has ran out)
Has anyone had this error and fixed it?
If this is a hardware problem and I want to fix this myself, what hardware do I need to buy? Is a new motherboard enough?

[Q] Nexus 4 bricked ? Please help to understand – Please !

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

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.

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

Did I hard bricked my tablet?

Hi,
My Nexus 7 2012 tablet was running very slow with Lollypop 5.1.1, so I tried to downgrade it to Kitkat 4.4.4.
I first installed Clockworkmod 7 and then tried to flash the image. I did it on a Mac Terminal. I had to add ./ in some of the files as I got a fastboot not found error but still kept on showing errors. I finally made the huge mistake of trying to reboot and the tablet hasn´t load from that moment, not even the battery signal. The computer doesn't recognize it either. I have tried several button combinations to start the tablet but nothing works. All I get is a black screen.
Once I got here, could you tell me, is this a hard brick? Is there a solution? Do I have to say goodbye to my tablet? Any help will be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
In case this clears the process, here's what the Terminal showed:

hi! did you have soved your problem yet? the problem here is that the script erased everything in your device, and by the output you pasted it seems that it flashed bootloader correctly, so you should be able to boot into bootloader mode. have you tried doing a battery pull? also, have your device enough battery to boot? the process failed because the image you tried to flash was a 3G/tilapia version and you have a WiFi/grouper device (it says that in the terminal).
try to do a battery pull, and try to boot into bootloader, if you can you could flash everything back from here, this is of course if you haven't got rid of your device already. hope this helps, and please post your results

Hi,
Thanks for your response.
I finally bought another mother board and installed it.
