Guy Hi. I *really* need help....
I have a rooted nexus 7 2013 running stock 4.4.4. 1 tried flashing the 5.1 factory image and now have what I think is a bootloop. Here's what I did :
1. Downloaded the razor 5.1.1 factory image (LMY47V) from
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
to my windows 8.1 laptop
2. Modified the flash-all.bat to remove the -w so it says "fastboot update image-&.zip"
3. I already had adb and fastboot installed on my windows laptop
4. I restarted my nexus 7 2013 into recovery, fastboot mode
5. Connected the N7 to the laptop
6. Ran the modified flash-all.bat.
Here's what appeared in the command window:

The nexus 7 2013 went into the Google boot up image sequence with the rotating flashing lights, but they are different from the kitkat lights.
Trouble is they keep repeating forever without fully booting.
I can exit by pressing "power down + power" and I can reenter recovery mode by again pressing "power down + power", but I cannot fully bootup and cannot enter my TWRP.
What should I do to finish flashing 5.1.1?
And then to regain root? What did I do wrong?
Please help. Thank you.

Go into stock recovery and perform a factory reset. If it still doesn't boot, flash the factory image one part at a time. Flash all scripts can act wonky sometimes.

Thank you. Will do a factory reset.
Can you explain what you mean by "flash the factory image one part at a time"? How do I do that?
Thanks again.
OK. Got to the factory reset screen and wiped all data. Reflashed 5.1.1 and now booted up.

I'm experiencing this or at least a very similar issue and factory reset doesn't help. I flashed the factory 4.4.4 image and it boots up OK. I then allowed the OTA to upgrade 5.02 and yet when that completed flashing and rebooted I get the same thing, boots to 4 spinning colored globes and hangs. Any way to see what's happening here or other suggestions? Thanks!
Edit to add: I first flashed 5.1.1 and get the 4 spinning globes. Factory reset, same. Flash to 4.4.4 and it works. Upgrade to 5.02, back to spinning balls.

the system image always is too large and usually it gets transferred in smaller pieces automatically. I'd try to flash all the images manually on a Windows mashine, following this guide (section 10).
I did it many times this way without issues.

Well, I can't get it working on Windows at all, because the driver won't install. (At least I assume that's the reason why-- The driver won't install and fastboot won't show any devices.)
I tried fixing that, but with no luck.
I did also try section 10 from Ubuntu, with the same results for the system part:

Fastboot is too old. Remove it from system. apt remove android-tools-fastboot . Place fastboot from dl link into a folder where is your system img. Change permissions if needed and exexute it with ./fastboot
https://mega.nz/#!CYYjHYSK!yjhPZ-OYQNhFxq-0JXVibtUps7AwoFDtvk0yPu_194s
Even better is to place fastboot file into a system /bin folder from where you can execute command in any folder.
Best regards.

My gosh, that finally worked, and I didn't believe it would. I had thought that the one I had gotten from that PPA was the newest, but, apparently not. I actually got it directly from Google (which was a chore in itself, but outside the scope of this thread).
Thank you very much. Now, let's see if I can find out how to mark this as solved...

My Nexus 7 2013 LTE was rooted and updated to stock Android 6.0 a year ago, no 3rd party ROM/recovery is installed. Last week while checking emails, it rebooted suddenly then remained at Google letters and unlock icon, I can enter fastboot mode by pressing power and volume- buttons together, the last line shows status unlocked; then if select "Recovery mode", it reboots then shows a dead robot with an exclamation mark only. I downloaded the latest factory image "razorg-mob30x", connect it to my PC and enter adb command "flash-all.bat" (I modified the bat file by removing -w, so it won't wipe the user data), then it shows: FAILED (remote: flash write failure)

What else I can do to resuce my pad? Does this mean the memory is physically damaged?
Please advise. Your help is much appreciated.
Bad motherboard, just had to replace mine with exact issue.
Hello,
i have a Pixel XL which i have just purchased second hand. The previous owner flashed the Android P beta and i wanted to restore to the last Oreo.
Started skipsoft tool and chose to restore to stock, device found and flash starts but always fails to finish with the following status. The stock Rom i am trying to flash was downloaded from official sources. Any ideas what to try?

Make sure your SDK (ADB, fastboot) is up to date.
Is the phone in working condition?
Is the bootloader unlocked?
jiggly cable dude,replace cable before flashing again cause u could brick it.Device fine!
Well that data partition could be corrupt. I would suggest wiping date then try to reflash the factory image. If the data won't wipe you might have a bad emmc

I'm going to second this. I could not flash back to June 8.1 factory from the P beta without updating my ADB and Fastboot to the latest google provides.
I had the latest "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" from XDA and that was not working at all - lots of errors thrown.

I had a similar issue and it started with release of May image and no matter what i did with cable changes like mentioned or using a different pc or using a different usb port or updating to latest fastboot/adb ... switching slots.. i could not flash the full image with -w removed.. i went back and reverted to April full image ... I have not yet tried June but my guess is it will be similiar result with failing on that exact spot as you mentioned. Same exact error.

Here's what i did to get past this error so maybe worth a try.. as i mentioned above i reverted to April i flashed slot B with full image ... no data wipes in any of this btw.. so i removed -w from flash-all
i let it do its thing and reboot
i switched to slot A and again did the april flash all no data wipes (remove -w)
then i tried the june full image again no data wipes (remove -w) and voila it finally worked.. so try that to see if it works for you.
no data wipe needed.
flash april full image (remove -w) to both slot b and slot a
keep it on slot a
flash june full image (remove -w)
so up to now i had always flashed only to active slot and not both but with this trick it worked for June as well but first start with April. hope that works for you too bud
So I've been on the original stable Q build and haven't updated since. Recently I've been getting the popup saying its time to update. The bottom option is always remind me later. Yesterday it popped up and i auto clicked the bottom one, however the "remind me later" wasn't there and i ended up clicking "update at 2am". 2am, update, lost root.
I know you can do the boot.img patch but i decided to do a clean install. So i downloaded the full december factory image and did the following,
Cd to platform-tools, - Adb reboot bootloader, - Flash-all.bat
Reboots to bootloader_b, everything works good, until it tries writing the system. I get

After everything it writes the fastboot screen goes dark and comes back before it writes something else. Did i miss a command? Magisk manager doesn't give me the option for full uninstall either so, i figured it'd be easier to just go back to stock and root from there.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
MOD ACTION:
Update of platform tools solved the issue as reported by OP. Thread closed at his request.
So, I just got a Pixel3 XL and am trying to build and flash my own clean AOSP build (as a starting point). I'm pretty technical, but new to the ROM world. (Would have posted in the ROM sub-forum, but my acct is brand new, if a mod wants to move it, cool.)
After successfully building, I'm getting an error halfway through running fastboot flashall now, after the reboot. Has anyone hit an error at Writing 'product_a'?
For my setup, I basically followed this awesome guide by @codevalley : https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3/how-to/noobs-guide-to-building-aosp-scratch-t4012293
Since it was a new phone, the additional steps I had to do were:
* Connect to network in order to enable OEM unlock
* install the right drivers so fastboot would work, not just adb
* re-flash the OEM firmware, otherwise fastboot fails right away
The only oddball thing about my setup is that I'm building in an ubuntu VM and flashing it from windows after copying the whole target/product directory over.

Anyone got any thoughts? Googling this error is really not turning up much....

So, I just got a Pixel3 XL and am trying to build and flash my own clean AOSP build (as a starting point). I'm pretty technical, but new to the ROM world. (Would have posted in the ROM sub-forum, but my acct is brand new, if a mod wants to move it, cool.)
After successfully building, I'm getting an error halfway through running fastboot flashall now, after the reboot. Has anyone hit an error at Writing 'product_a'?
For my setup, I basically followed this awesome guide by @codevalley : https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3/how-to/noobs-guide-to-building-aosp-scratch-t4012293
Since it was a new phone, the additional steps I had to do were:
* Connect to network in order to enable OEM unlock
* install the right drivers so fastboot would work, not just adb
* re-flash the OEM firmware, otherwise fastboot fails right away
The only oddball thing about my setup is that I'm building in an ubuntu VM and flashing it from windows after copying the whole target/product directory over.

The only thing I see is that it is only flashing to slot_a. It is my understanding that you need to flash to both partitions a and b before the process will work. For me it has only worked when I flashed to both partitions. Also adding .\ before the command may help. For some reason it only flashes for me when I add it.

Does the AOSP build process generate full OTA images similar to what are found here: https://developers.google.com/android/ota?
If so, try flashing just the bootloader in fastboot, boot into recovery, and sideload the full OTA.

I had this exact error running fastboot from shell on a Chromebook. Simply booting into the full Ubuntu installation I had installed on the Chromebook allowed me to flash.
I believed in my case the error was due to running out of memory. Though using an old fastboot version or a c -> c cable could also cause trouble.
You can also manually flash partitions instead of using the script. Remember, to get to fastbootd, you have to "fastboot reboot fastboot" from the bootloader.

Both of these are good points. You wouldn't think a USB-C to USB-C cable could cause fastboot problems but I've experienced this first hand. I can't quite remember the error I had, but I couldn't flash the stock factory images while using a USB-C to C cable. Switching to a USB-A to C cable (USB 2.0) resolved it.
