You tried to flash with an app designed for the TF101?????? And you wonder why this is happening to your Nexus 7?

You don't sound like one who's familiar with flashing anything. Be that as it may, what did you do exactly by "manually flash"? Can you get into fastboot mode or recovery at all? If you can, what does the screen show? You mentioned bootloop. How far does the tablet get before looping?

i did flashing with factory img already...
--------
i did manually flash because when flash system.img cmd error:cannot load system.img
so I fixed it by editing the command used to flash the system.img
fastboot flash -S 512M system system.img
and all my commands cmd:
Code:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash bootloader ["bootloader name".img]
fastboot flash radio ["radio name".img]
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash -S 512M system system.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
And all command were finished successfully
---------
yes... i can get into fastboot mode and recovery mode
you said : "If you can, what does the screen show?"
hmm...in fastboot show normal bootloader
and in recovery mode I install cwm recovery
------------
bootloop happen in animation after google logo

From experience, mine and others', if you get to the animation part, it means the boot partition is intact. You get into trouble when that is damaged somehow. If I were you, I would flash everything again and separately, from boot.img, to system.img, to recovery.img.
Make sure you choose the right one for your tablet. LTE for LTE and flo for flo (wifi only model) - no mix up. I did flash a wi-fi only rom on an LTE 2012 before, and it didn't brick the tablet, but I have no idea what such a mistake would do to a 2013 model.
I would use a stock-based rom like CleanRom only because so many people bricked theirs after flashing stock rom. I would try Cleanrom to make sure the tablet is functional hardware-wise first. Then, if you feel like taking the dive, go for your stock rom. Ask the author if you cannot retrieve the individual images from the zip file. Good luck.

hardest soft-bricked ever seen!!!
anybody haven't idea?

Why is -S 512M needed? I see what you said above but I've never seen anyone saying to use that command for this device. Update fastboot? Maybe a fastboot format cache at the end?
To be a ****, all you had to do was fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img but you know that now. :highfive:

HELP! Can't boot into recovery, goes straight to fastboot

Hi
I had installed NamelessRom along with the unified storage layout. All was working smoothly and then I was getting random freezes.
Only way to avoid was to revert back to stock ColorOs. Now however I have the 48mb problem with the partition. On top of that, I can't boot to recovery, it just goes to fastboot. I have tried running the swaplayout.bat partition tool again, but the phone just stays on fastboot for half an hour at least.
Is there any way that I can install NamelessRom again and see if it recognises the unified layout from the first boot?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Virtual hugs and beers await...

I had the same problem.
download colorOS 1.2.7i and extract the zip
in adb
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn
fastboot flash tz tz.mbn
fastboot flash oppostanvbk static_nvbk.bin

TWRP recovery to remove LVM
Custom ROMS cause random reboots for me. I'm stuck on coloros 2 beta but that is stable. I really want Nameless LVM unified though.

i have a oppo find 7 a year and since then I did to the root, but today decided to change rom but something went wrong because now he is always the restart and go to the screen of fastboot ? I can do is urgent ...
The rom and I put SlimSaber - find7-5.1.1-20150926 find 7

Hello.
Use "fastboot oem unlock", then flash recovery again and everything should work.
Regards.

Hei kucici a link to donwload please?

Hello. I already have an oppo find 7 for a year and I've root it and changed its rom twice. Last rom was color os 1.2.7 and I've changed it to SlimSabet find 7-5.1.1-20150926 find 7 and all went right but when it was 100% the phone reset and it was like you can see in the picture above.
The problem now is that my pc windows 7 has no conection to my oppo find 7. In the device manager it appears android phone and below alcatel adb interface. I can't do the connection between my pc and the oppo and I can't do the recovery.
I always had smartphones, but as it is the first time I have one with windows os and the first time I do this kind of stuff to an android I'm a bit confused...
My oppo is like thart for two weeks now and I don't know what else to do. I've searched in a lot of foruns, but no one has a solution for my problem. Can anybody help me, please?

THANK YOU

fastboot -i 0x2970 erase recovery
fastboot -i 0x2970 flash recovery /Users/xxxx/Desktop/androidtools1/cm-13.0-20160418-SNAPSHOT-ZNH0EAO2NN-crackling-recovery.img
fastboot reboot
all went well- terminal reported ok
then reboot into recovery mode to install the cm13.zip file - failed!
device does not boot into recovery. I get black screen and dead device.
device comes back to life after battery is out and in again.
so no recovery mode menu.

normally I just do
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <recovery-image-file>
Also how do you attempt to boot recovery?
- VolDn+Pwr ?
- adb reboot recovery ?
What if you flash stock recovery or twrp?

do you actually write <recovery-image-file> ??
I thought the actual .img file needs flashing. ??
either way - VolDn+Pwr and adb. = black screen dead device.
I thought cm-13.img is stock recovery. I downloaded it from cyanogen
twrp needs rooted device. I am trying to instal the OTA update from 12.1 to 13.0 and it doesn't work. and i was advised to un-root my device.
so now i have a un-rooted device but with no recovery.
arrrghhh

if you unpack cm-13.0-ZNH0EAS2NH-crackling-signed-fastboot-2306277a34.zip from cyngn.com you may try to flash stock COS 13.0 as follows:
Code:
fastboot flash splash splash.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash hyp hyp.mbn
fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash tz tz.mbn
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash system system.img

How to fresh install Cyanogen OS?

Hi,
I am currently running Cyanogen OS 13.0 and I have not managed to update via OTA and TWRP. After TWRP-Update the system just hangs on boot. OTA just does not do the update after reboot. I just keeps downloading the OTA-Update again and again which eats my data plan, unless I notice and stop it. I am looking for a clear instruction on how to flash the newest version directly via cable. I could not find one. Alternatively I would be happy if someone could show me a way to stop the repeating downloads of the latest OTA-version.
Thanks!

basically you unzip the flashtool zip and do
Code:
fastboot flash splash splash.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash hyp hyp.mbn
fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash tz tz.mbn
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash system system.img
if you want to keep data skip userdata (but clear dalvik cache in twrp)
if you want to keep twrp do not flash recovery

You need to root MM with system less SuperSU ZIP version, I believe v2.65 onwards (v2.76 may be latest, you need to check). And each time you flash kernel (aka boot.img) again you need to root.

Its better to use super su 2.76 because it has boot image patcher.
