Can't flash partitions

Hello all,
I left a similar post in a couple other threads, and thought maybe someone here might have some insight into my problem.
Been running AICP rom (no custom kernel except the one that comes with AICP) with f2fs on /data and /cache for several months on 16GB grouper. About a month or so ago, the wife installed a game that wouldn't run on this hardware (King's Paradise Bay), and I uninstalled it. It left a file in /data/data/....etc that couldn't stat in TWRP, so no nandroid backups since then. I figured I'd just backup user data with TiBkp and wipe with fresh install of latest AICP when time permitted.
The other night I noticed the N7 was boot looping, getting to the stage where the boot animation dims. The boot anim would hang and after several seconds the Google unlock splash screen would come up and the N7 would try to boot again.
I can get into TWRP and bootloader with no problem. However, when TWRP comes up, the log shows the red entries for 2 files that can't stat, which has been this way since that game was uninstalled. I cannot seem to wipe *any* partition, and when I attempt to format or wipe userdata in TWRP, the N7 spontaneously reboots. Manually attempting to wipe/format/etc. via FastBoot doesn't work, with error message showing after trying to flash bootloader. Also, I can't change /data or /cache back to ext4. I am able to successfully read, write, and delete files on the N7 via computer USB MTP connection.
If the N7's flash memory has somehow become corrupted, is there a way to completely erase/format/whatever so that this wonderful device can become usable again? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
don't flash Bootloader via Fastboot. You should do this commands:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase boot

Yes, I have attempted all these commands, followed by flashing with either fastboot or TWRP with no success. Fastboot reports success, but partitions are not erased.

I have the same problem. The Nexus Root Toolkit can not flashign. It succeeds only boot TWRP. In TWRP computer sees the files from the tablet.I could not rename and delete. Wipe the TWRP and stock recovery displays the status OK, and the files are deleted. Fastboot shows that uploads, but all files remain unchanged.

bootloop 6p flashed the stock image now what still bootlooping

So I was on weta rom flashed benzo latest with vendor and bootlooped my device. Got worried so I downloaded NRD90U factory image and fastboot flashed stock and format userdata, but phone still boot loops.
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash bootloader C:\angler\images\bootloader-angler-angler-xx.xx.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio C:\angler\images\radio-angler-angler-xx.xx.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot C:\angler\images\boot.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash cache C:\angler\images\cache.img
fastboot flash recovery C:\angler\images\recovery.img
fastboot flash system C:\angler\images\system.img
fastboot flash vendor C:\angler\images\vendor.img
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache
fastboot reboot

I can go into the bootloader and then went to recovery get the android red exclamation mark guy so stock recovery has been flashed. I just don't know why it's bootlooping?

Did you backup and restore EFS at any point. If so you're bricked.

And if you are bricked (TWRP 3.0.2-1 EFS restore?) you need to erase those partitions via ADB to fix it.

ok what is the command to do this. I put my phone in bootloader and what command do I fastboot. and would I reflash the factory image afterwards. thank you

how do i erase efs partition
so I have stock recovery how would I erase my efs partition?

Solved
thanks to @ ultyrunner I flashed twrp and then ran the follwing adb commands to make my phone boot up and it worked. you sir are my hero!
If you have been bricked you NEED to Erase the EFS partitions and that will fix it immediately.
For the Nexus 6P go to TWRP. Then on PC Open Command Prompt with access to ADB ( Android Debug Bridge) and execute the following commands:
ADB shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/soc.0/f9824900.sdhci/by-name/modemst1 bs=16384
and
ADB shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/soc.0/f9824900.sdhci/by-name/modemst2 bs=16384
This should fix it for ANY Nexus 6P users.

You can run ADB commands on stock recovery. You need to ensure you have current ADB/fastboot drivers installed and that your computer recognizes your device.
Once that's working, do some research on the exact process but in a nutshell boot into bootloader, reboot into stock recovery and get into the recovery menu, use the rocker to select "update over ADB" and then you can doublecheck your computer recognizes your device and should be able to issue the commands to erase the EFS.

Bootloader-Relock LG G4 (H815) No Wipe, No Backups, All Versions

Relock LG G4 Bootloader easily
First of all, I'm new here. So please tell me if I broke any rules or if I made any english mistakes.
Warning:
This guide will show you how to easily Re-Lock your Bootloader. Your Bootloader is then Locked! So, it's not really clever to lock the Bootloader when a Non-Stock-Rom is installed...
Requirements:
- LG G4 (H815) [This probably works with other LG's too]
- TWRP-Recovery installed or temporary booted using "fastboot boot"
- Stock-Android installed (Any Version)
- Flashable Bootloader/Boot Zip's for your Android-Version
For Android 6.0 you can get them here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/stock-h815-20g-images-kdz-flashable-t3450503
How to Relock:
Step 1: Boot into TWRP
Step 2: Copy the Zip-Files to internal storage
Step 3: Go to Advanced/Terminal
Step 4: Perform this command:
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block//bootdevice/by-name/misc
Your bootloader is Non-Functional now... Don't reboot until the next steps are completed!
Step 5: Flash both Zip-Files using TWRP
Step 6: Reboot
You now have a G4 with stock ROM and locked bootloader. If you wish to uninstall TWRP (Its no longer working) just Flash a Stock kdz-File using LGUP
Hope I was able to help someone...

in dd command are 2x //, is the corect command ? or just one / ?
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block//bootdevice/by-name/misc
to
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc
for me misc is /dev/block/mmcblk0p22

The command is correct... If you perform it, it will make the bootloader crash. If you flash a clean bootloader now ur device is locked again.

... Thx for your thread even if it is known that the unlock state is handled by misc partition but it's good to have an own thread for it now. Latest TWRP beta can save the unlock state since a while.
Just wanted to add: if you made a misc backup before unlock you can just restore your backup. You can even flash a misc of an extracted kdz.
And another thing: if you zero out it like described you may loose your WiFi Mac and you can loose your imei. So before using this it's better to backup your current unlocked misc e.g. with the latest TWRP beta (select BL unlock state).
Backup before unlock is possible with SALT DLM backup ( https://tinyurl.com/dlbackup )

you said temporary booted using "fastboot boot", which is the method with just fastboot? and second thing the command :
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block//bootdevice/by-name/misc
need any substitution?

u can now re-lock your device with fastboot
important: you device must be FULLY STOCK BEFORE you lock it again! That means no TWRP, no custom ROM etc! otherwise you will brick the device
if you still want to use that method mentioned here:
Make a backup with SALT (basic mode is enough)
boot into fastboot:
Code:
[B]fastboot erase misc[/B]
is doing the same then the above mentioned way.
the misc partition contains also your IMEI, your MAC (wifi) and Bluetooth address. Those SHOULD be re-generated once you boot Android again but if not you will have the backup you created with SALT before.

wow perfect you was very clear, and OMG I didn't saw your projects man, you rock! another and last questions(after the cmd "fastboot erase misc" I should use the cmd mentioned in your first link? so "fastboot oem lock" (because i tried this cmd with fastboot and my phone is recognized I checked with "fastboot devices" but my try failed maybe I miss something? I unlocked bootloader 1 year ago now I want to relock it so I refurbished the stock kdz with lgup and try the cmd but the console said to me FAIL (unknown command remote) somethings like that)? otherwise What I should do? just flash bootloader and boot zips?
EDIT:
What I've done:
-Refurbished with LGUP last version of KDZ STOCK of my country
-Now I have my device STOCK but with bootloader to relock
-I downloaded your os
-I downloaded the zip bootloader and boot of my KDZ from this site
-I made a backup basic with your software SALT (just in case)
-I have just to erase misc part (don't reboot before I haven't done last flash for rebuild misc partition)
-But my last doubt is which cmd I have to do with SALT for reflash the two zip and if this zip containg the misc partition (because inside I did found misc bin or img)

I meant that you can also go the new way which is less risky by flashing the nougat bootloader in my mentioned link. Then you don't need to erase anything.

So I can just flash the v29a bootloader over my v20g or I should flash the entire stock with lgup?

manually with fastboot or in TWRP. Both require an unlocked device though.
SALT will allow restore in a future release in download mode too.

really reflashing a kdz is your best option. everything must be stock (no twrp or other mods are in place) so flashing a kdz ensures you are good.

that happens when you are on v29a.
on v29a its just a fastboot cmd to lock again: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/managed-to-relock-bootloader-t3660282
keep in mind that your phone is better pure stock before doing this and it will 100% brick your phone when you have UsU'd your device.

Ruined my modem partition... Please help

i downloaded factory image of 7.12.29 oreo
i used flash_factory.bat
it reflashed partitioning
apparently it had a command "fastboot flash modem_a NON-HLOS.bin"
the NON-HLOS.bin file does not exist in images folder nor in any fastboot rom
now i dont have any connectivity... signal.. wifi etc..
can anybody provide NON-HLOS.bin file for the A1

Hello,
Inside the fastboot ROM file "tissot_images_7.12.19_20171219.0000.00_7.1_d39fa89aaf.tgz" (Nougat 7.1.2) ... in the file "flash_all_lock_crc.bat" for example, these lines appear:
fastboot %* flash modem_a %~dp0images\modem.img || @ECHO "Flash modem_a error" && exit /B 1
fastboot %* flash modem_b %~dp0images\modem.img || @ECHO "Flash modem_b error" && exit /B 1
It seems that the file is called "modem.img", not "NON-HLOS.bin".
May be?
Regards!
PS: Sorry for my English!

the NON-HLOS.bin file does not exist in images folder nor in any fastboot rom
now i dont have any connectivity... signal.. wifi etc..

persist image problem
https://xiaomifirmware.com/guides-and-tips/restore-persist-partition-xiaomi-mi-a1/
try ghis to restore persist img from twrp see if it fixes the freeze and reboot problem
also download the persist.img from the guide not from a fastboot rom... it should be 32 mb in size
i actually bricked my phone via doing fastboot flash partition partition-both-gpt.bin from fastboot folder then fastvoot reboot.... warning this bricks the phone completely... theres no bootloader now... i gave it to service center... ill take my chances for replacement

The freeze and reboot problem is fixed. Thanks. Still one problem. IMEI1 is 0 and IMEI2 is null. Anyone has an idea?

Replace the IMEi with UR Own IMEI . if not it's illegal to use this QCN
Password : testnreport
if you don't know how to change IMEI Using hex editor , try my method . DO NOT use QCN to restore .
(hex and imei provided in order for u to find n replace)
i lost my imei n spent me about 6days n 8 hours per day to find a way to fix it .
actually it's easy to fix the problem .
My own method
1. download the older rom (7.8.23) Link
2. Use flash_all.bat
3.reboot into fastboot mode , erase modemst1 and modemst2 .
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
4. reboot
5. go to phone , enter *#*#717717#*#*
6.got to settings enable USB Debugging (ADB)
7. disconnect your phone n connect it back
8.Use WriteDualIMEI(W+G_eMMC) Remember run as administrator , enter your IMEI .
9.if success , go to phone enter *#*#717717#*#* to disable the diag port
10. reboot
Done .

Persist partition not flashing...

Hey, I need to flash a persist.img file, because my phon restarts every 2 Minutes and does not find any WiFi, but it gives me out the error: remote:Error : persist partition not allowed download. Is there a way to flash it without twrp, since when I try to flash a custom recovery, it says partition table not found. Is there a way to flash persist.img in Mi Flash Tool?

Don't have Twrp, can't flash custom recovery, it says partition table does not exist

boot to fastboot and
give the command
fastboot boot twrp.img
instead of fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
