You must keep trying to flash. Try downloading the stock Gingerbread firmware (0.62) and then download an older version of Flashtool (0.6 prehaps). Uninstall the newest flashtool, and install the older one and then try flashing. I've had the same problem, then i've tried this approach, installed an older version of flashtool on my laptop and kept trying to flash. Details: I've kept the back button pressed during the whole flashing procedure. on my 7th try i've successfully unbricked my phone-

Nexus Dead?!

So, basically I downloaded cm10.1 nightly and it was rebooting every some hour, this morning when i turned it on it immediately started rebooting and it kept rebooting until i pulled the battery.
so i went to the cwm recovery and tried to flash a backup, but whenever i tried to flash the backup it also rebooted..
then i downloaded the google nexus toolkit and thought i could restore my nexus with it, but since i can't boot into android, i can't get adb access...
i'm really lost right now, does anyone know what i can do?
thanks in advance :crying:
error i get in the toolkit

Too many links I believe is usually a USB issue, either port on PC, port on phone, USB cable, or even drivers issues on your PC (as in USB driver issues). I could be mistaken on this, but I seem to remember reading that was the solution to this problem a while back.

Don't "push" threads, take it easy. It's not going to help if you're stressing about it, believe me. What's your platform-tools version? R16?

btw i got my nexus to boot to stock with a sideloaded zip BUT every time i wanna take a photo it freezes and reboots, and when i try to record a video it'll also freeze and reboot, it'll also freeze and reboot if i try to put something into the sd-card through usb, it also makes a loud popping voice everytime it reboots..
edit : it also sometimes freezes on reboot, i think there's something wrong when writing/reading/deleting/saving data with my gnex...

pushing this cause i still need help v.v

still need help.

bricked

so i bricked my fire tv 2 and for the life of me can not get windows 10 to detect it. keeping getting message in adbfire no devices detected. is was detecting it yesterday. any ideas peeps?

You're going to have to give us more information. What did you do to it? Is it rooted? Do you have TWRP installed? Is it stuck on the white amazon logo? Does it get to the colorful Fire TV logo? The more information you give, the more likely someone will be able to help.

WIthout access to recovery, your only option is rbox's unbrick image here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/development/firetv-2-unbrick-image-t3313349
You'll need an A-to-A USB cable.

Sounds like it's an issue with your PC and/or drivers. Try a different PC if you have access to one, or try deleting all the relevant drivers and start from scratch. Sorry I don't have any other suggestions.

[Help] My Galaxy S20+ (SM-G985F) is not entering download (odin) mode but is entering

*but is entering fastboot mode*. Title. I've heard that this isn't expected behaviour. All I did was flash a stock firmware belonging to a different country. What's worse is that odin on my pc doesnt even recognise my phone anymore. Please help me (I'm not rooted). And yes, it shows entering fastboot mode.

ok so i did try it. and it still goes to fastboot

you can power the phone off, press and hold both volume up and volume down, then connect your Galaxy to a computer using a USB-C cable. After July Update mine was having the same problem.

Just go to a Samsung repair center.
Take your phone to a Samsung repair center. They usually know how to fix these kind of problems, so this might be your safest bet.
