Hi there
I've got an old Nexus 10 that recently got stuck in a bootloop, so I booted into recovery and did a factory reset. After a few boots and updates everything seemed ok, but then it just died and went into a bootloop again.
I've flashed TWRP recovery, but no partitions are mounted or mountable and attempts to repair file system make the screen go squiggly (corrupted/interference) and then the tablet reboots into bootloader.
Is this likely to be a hardware issue or is there more I can try?

P.S. also tried flashing the stock ROM using flash-all.sh, output appended:

Need advice as my tablet is inoperable.:/
Try running the toolkit as administrator or use flash-all script of the factory image by running it through Administrator Command Prompt.

Now when i restart the phone it just stays on the screen with the essential logo and powered by android at the bottom; never gets to spinning circles. When I restart i can pause it from booting because the bootloader is unlocked, but adb cant find it because to do that i have to give it debug permissions, but no OS to boot to so i cant do that. Did i brick my phone?
If you can still get into the bootloader, its fixable. Just reflash stock

When I reboot, it says press power to pause (the screen where it says g.co/ABH), but then eventually proceeds to boot by itself after a few seconds.

It boots back into the screen with the logo and phrase powered by android and sits there. After it dissipated its power all night doing that, I was able to get the bootloader screen to appear (The word start in big green letters) this morning, but i selected start and now that screen refuses to show up again, so ill try draining it again i guess?
I drained it of power and as soon as i plugged it into a charger it turned on by itself and went into the bootloader unlike it was doing before. Was able to issue the command I missed earlier and now it loads right up.
