Hello,
my essential phone was working great. i unlocked the bootloader and installed magisk.
The problem is that i got 3 dead pixel in the middle of the screen over night.
I know need to return it to amazon.
As i tried to get back to stock i get the following error(i am on the newest Firmware):
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot -w
wiping userdata...
Erase successful, but not automatically formatting.
Can't determine partition type.
FAILED (remote: unknown command)

When i try to flash the stock img i get the following error:

for example:

after 4 hours of finding a error with the fastloader -w command i finally got it. it was the combination of a usb 3 port and the usb cabel from essential and a windows 10 computer.
My phone is now on oreo and and the bootloader is logged again!
Yeah don't use the usb c cable that comes with the phone for data. I have a USB c to A cable from Anker that I use.

The Essential supplied usb-c cable should not be used for anything but charging. Even Essential admits it is too poor to use for data transmission. Get a good quality usb-c cable and try again.

Nope, I can't do that.. it just starts the bootloader & I can't select anything when it's on
The bootloader screen info is as follows:
FASTBOOT MODE
PRODUCT NAME - grouper
BOOTLOADER VERSION - 3.34
LOCK STATE - Unlocked
you might be able to soft-boot it (that is, have it boot a custom recovery without actually flashing it to the eMMC chip) as in:
Code:
C:\blech> fastboot boot eg-custom-recovery-imagefile-of-your-choice-goes-here.img
and have a look using adb at the kernel boot messages from that custom recovery's boot log (once it has finished booting)
Code:
C:\blech> adb shell dmesg > dmesg_log.txt
my guess (because fastboot erases are failing) is that it might boot but will not recognize any valid partition tables - you will see messages to that effect in the kernel log.
If that's the case, there is nothing you can do to fix it.
My N7 "2012" kept freezing, so I put it in bootloader and tried to do a recovery mode reset to stock. It froze during the process.
Now, the only thing I can do is get it into bootloader mode manually by holding the buttons. It frezes if I choose any of the options from the bootloader screen including restarting the bootloader from the bootloader screen without holding power and volume.
I have tried the Nexus Root Toolkit a bunch of times with the "flash stock + unroot (soft bricked)" feature, testing different factory builds and the best results are below:

PLEASE HELP! Keep in mind that I am a newb to messing with this stuff.
I have read forums and tried things that people suggested to others in similar situations, but I am pretty lost at this point. Keep in mind that my device is almost certainly wiped and definitely will not boot the OS.
Is your N7 the Wi-Fi or the 3G variant?
What was the name of the factory image you were trying to flash?

After doing a bit of research, I've found out that there is a BAD version of the N7 2012 bootloader 4.23 floating around. The unsettling thing is that it's being supplied with a couple of the factory images that come straight from from the Google android devolpers page online. Anyway to make a long story short, I would try flashing the working version of the bootloader first off, then go from there with a factory reset. You can download the the working bootloader (bootloader-grouper-4.23.img) HERE --> h t t p : / / g o o . g l / q A D S A z (sorry about the spaces in the url, I'm new to the forum and can't post links yet, just delete the spaces)
BTW, its the same bootloader for N7 wifi OR 3G. md5 = df53028033c9eccf4fe5ba7bc198ce24
Here's how to install using fastboot:
1. Reboot To Your Bootloader On You Nexus 7 (Power off power button and volume down until you see bootloader screen)
2. Connect Your Nexus 7 To Your Computer
3. Open Up Command Prompt or terminal window (not sure if you are using windows/mac/linux)
4. CD to where you downloaded bootloader-grouper-4.23.img
5. Then type:
fastboot devices (to see if your N7 is connected correctly)
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-4.23.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then try the factory reset again.
If you don't have fastboot installed your computer you need it. Makes flashing your N7 a breeze... lock/unlock, custom recovery installs, going back to factory stock, all much more easy with fastboot.
You can get it from the android devolper site, h t t p : / / g o o . g l / 2 q p r for windows/mac/linux. All you need is the SDK tools, not the ADT bundle.

I have tried every one that the NRT offered.
Just read this guide and download the latest factory image from here.
Good luck.

I read that guide.
But that guide seems to be written with the assumption that the device can boot into the OS
No ADB device is found because I can only boot into bootloader.
That part is only for the driver installation. You can skip to the "Extract the Factory Image" part and follow it from there.

Do you have a valid warranty for the N7? I'm asking because it seems that your N7's internal memory got corrupted. I might not be right, but that's my best guess.

I bought it 13 months ago (perfect timing, coincidentally, right?), so if I could find the receipt I would still be screwed.
I would still try to send it to Asus or Google. Maybe they repair it for a reasonable price.
(But if you plan to do that try to relock you bootloader with fastboot oem lock)

Hello out there,
I get a used L5 for my little son, tryed to clear all data (factory reset) and it just partically worked, some data always survied.
I thougt, no prob, then I use recovery. when I tried to boot the recovery mode I saw the Message:
Secure booting error! Cause: boot certification verifiy
HM!
OK Lets try to install a custom recovery (first rooted with kingo, then install twrp 3 with dd)
Jet I only get the Message on booting nothing else is possible. fastboot is available.
Update the ROM with KDZ updater dosn`t work " No connection to phone"
I need *.img files that I can use with fastboot. I tryed to convert a kdz with two tools I found ( a python script and a tool developed for the G series) but that dosn`t work.
Is there a simple way to convert a ZIP to a IMG?
I tryed "fastboot boot recovery.img" and to flash it, but that also dosn`t work (orig. and TWRP)
I also get this:

Hello guys,
I know this question is very common but I have looked many posts and couldn't find any that solved my problem.
I am trying to flash the stock moto X pure edition (xt1575) again in my device. The trouble starts because fastboot doesn't work.
I already installed Motorola device manager (2.5.4) and booted windows without driver signature enforcement.
I tried adb-setup-1.4.3.exe and installing android SDK, but still get same trouble.
The phone works and get normally funcional when android is loaded, but no responde in fastboot screen!
I am using windows 10.15063.296 (creators update). When I open device manager, now I see "Motorola adb device" with an exclamation.
A lot of windows, especially windows 10, users seem to struggle with drivers. I use Linux and never have any problems.
Maybe you could give this a try. https://www.xda-developers.com/forget-windows-use-linux-is-a-usb-bootable-distro-for-your-android-recovery-needs-xda-spotlight/

The issue now is that I got "preflash failed" when trying the officially image available.

Just on bootloader and gpt.bin, or everything?
That happens when you try to downgrade the partition table, but usually as long as you flash all the other parts successfully it works. Keep a close eye on the output when you flash modem; it tends to fail on the first try.

After an update to my 2012 Nexus 7 a ways back, it became unbearably slow and I gave up on it. I'm assuming it was the 5-dot-something update because after doing a bit of digging just for kicks, it seems the same thing has happened to everyone else. So, I wasn't paying close enough attention and I flashed the 4.2.2 2013 nexus 7 version (from here https://developers.google.com/android/images) onto my 2012 Nexus 7. Feel free to point and laugh now.
My tablet is now stuck with showing the Google logo, and won't go past that. Plugged into my pc, it now longer shows up under devices in adb. However, if I go into recovery mode and then into sideload mode (and I've tried all the other options, clearing cache and factory reset I think), it will show up under adb, and will let me sideload. I've tried just about every file on this page https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1745781 and still no luck. I've gone into the update script and removed the assert line as many suggest. Always ends up at "Aborted Installation" with no errors.
Are there any other options at this point, or do I have a new paperweight?
Thanks!

Hi, Ghoast...
I think you need to reflash it.
It's been quite a while since I flashed my Nexus 7 2012, but if I remember correctly...
Long press and hold the power button and volume-down button together; this will reboot the Nexus 7 2012 into the bootloader.
Using fastboot, flash a Nakasi/Nakasig (depending on your device) Google factory image available from the first link in your post.
Sorry I don't have the time to provide more details, but I have to go out soon.
Rgrds,
Ged.

I wish I could! In flashboot mode my device doesn't show up under the device list in adb. I can enter the commands but it just says <waiting on device>. Adb only seems to acknowledge it when I go into... I think it's called Recovery Mode. From there I can sideload updates, but as far as I can tell that is all I am able to do. Thanks though!

Hi, Ghoast...
You're using ADB when you should be using Fastboot!
ADB doesn't work whilst the tablet is in fastboot mode.
ADB only works in fully booted Android and Recovery.
Only fastboot.exe will flash a device whilst it's in fastboot mode.
So, with the Nexus 7 booted into fastboot mode, type...
Code:
fastboot devices
If you have a successful fastboot connection (ie., assuming no driver problems), this should return your Nexus 7's serial number.
Your should then be able to flash the device using fastboot flash commands...
e.g.
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader [I]<<name-of-bootloader.img>>[/I] file
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
etc,
etc.
Or alternatively by running the flash-all.bat batch script file which accompanies factory stock images, although if I remember correctly there may be some problems with this method with the Nexus 7.
Be very careful when flashing the bootloader. Flashing the bootloader is the riskiest part of flashing a Nexus 7 and can potentially hardback the device if you flash the wrong one, or if, whilst flashing it, the USB is disconnected mid-flash. This would then require a motherboard replacement .
If your Nexus 7 is already running bootloader v4.23 (visible in the bottom left hand corner of the bootloader screen), there's no need to reflash it, as this is the latest version of the bootloader.
-----------------------------------------
I haven't reflashed or bothered with my Nexus 7 for about three years now, so my recollection of the precise details on reflashing it are somewhat hazy.
You can find some useful and important info on returning a Nexus 7 back to factory stock, here...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796
-----------------------------------------
There are several different approaches that can be taken when flashing a Nexus device, including a Nexus 7 2012.
My own preferred method is to fully unzip the Google stock factory image to be flashed and then to fastboot flash the device partition by partition.
Apologies for the vagueness of my response - my memory isn't what it used to be, but one thing I am absolutely certain of...
ADB.exe won't flash your device.
fastboot.exe is required for flashing.

Ged,
You were right! I was looking at the wrong thing, so thank you for that. I was able to flash the correct bootloader as the one I had on there was not the right version - I tried to update before updating the bootloader and it said it required 4.23. After updating and restarting the bootloader, I tried the flash-all bat file and got these results:
C:\nakasi-kot49h>flash-all.bat

Just to confirm, is the bootloader unlocked? If not, you can unlock it with...
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
You can't flash anything with a locked bootloader. If the bootloader is unlocked, you should see a white unlocked padlock symbol underneath the white Google logo when booting the Nexus 7. It should also say 'unlocked' in the bootloader screen in tiny letters in the bottom left hand corner.
It's also possible your fastboot executable may need updating. You can get the most up-to-date version of fastboot (and ADB) from here...
https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html
Other points worth considering... Ensure you have a good USB connection between your PC and the Nexus 7. Sometimes it's also worth trying different USB cables and/or different USB ports on your PC when encountering problems when flashing a device.
Hope this helps and good luck.
Rgrds,
Ged.
