if no boot loader you have to use unbrick threads.
If you had a flashed back a stock recovery and boot.img if on rooted mm bl with giovix modder tool , you could've downgraded via sd card and stock recovery ..in my link below
There were 2 different cm 13s , one with mm bl and one based on 5.
.

Unbricked
So i unbricked the phone! Everything was success! xfstk worked then i got the 4 color screen and after that the bootloader!
Extracted the .raw file and then flashed using commands, but when the phone tries to reboot, it gets stuck on the ASUS logo! waited half an hour for that! Service center people say that its a motherboard problem! Any advice ?

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:

Booting into Recovery Automatically!

I unlocked my bootloader. Installed TWRP and when I was on stock I updated my moto z play to 7.1.1. I know never update through OTA when custom recovery is installed. But I didn't know that earlier. Device got rebooted and directly booted into TWRP and nothing happened. I then rebooted to bootloader and started the device and it booted up!
The problem is each time the phone is rebooted it goes into recovery and i have to reboot it to bootloader to start!
How can I solve this?
I'm currently on Resurrection remix Rom!
Thanks!
Fastboot command
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

I'll try this tomorrow.
Will update after I'm done!
Got the same problem - unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP, did dual sim mod for a friend and then the "idiot" did an ota - now phone is stuck into booting to TWRP.
I tried the fastboot commands and they went through fine, but phone is still only booting into twrp - with fastboot and "start" its booting up though.
There must still be some "do-ota" flag enabled somewhere.. ?!

EDIT: ok well **** it - after i booted it up once normal over the fastboot start it boots normal again!
+1 with same problem.

Can you give some more details on how you managed to fix it?
I have the same problem was on stock with root and tried OTA :silly:
These fastboot commands don't work for me, does anyone have another solution?

After flashing the android 8 version, my phone could not start normally (directly into the bootloader.)
The command lines saved my Moto lol ?
Thank you very much !

Moto Z Play reboot on TWRP instead of ROM (if I don't go by fastboot before booting)

Hi there,
I've got a problem with my Moto Z Play. It is unlocked with lastest unofficial TWRP, bootloader unlocked and running lastest Lineage OS ROM.
I already checked these type of threads:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/help/booting-recovery-automatically-t3654698$
which gives a solution (doing some fastboot commands) but it doesn't work for me.
So I tried to do this in fastboot mode
" adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot "
But it didn't change anything. I need to boot on fastboot mode and then push power button while selecting start to get it runs on ROM.
Is anyone has a solution?

I faced the same issue ... Tried many things but simple solution worked like a charm
Flash twrp ... Re boot phone ... Don't boot to system instead boot to recovery ..then shutdown from recovery ... That's it twrp is permeant and phone boots to system normally
Tried this but still boots to recovery. Thanks for the idea.

Nexus 5X stuck in bootup

Hi,
I have a Nexus 5X that was on the latest 8.1 firmware, and I successfully downgraded to the latest 6.0.1 firmware by unlocking the device and flashing everything separately. Here's what I did
Enable OEM unlock in Developer settings
Reboot to boot loader
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flashing unlock (had to do this cos after rebooting, device is locked again)
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash recover recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot reboot
After this, I get the "Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and may not work properly" boot up message, but continue anyway, after which the device boots up and I set up the new device as per normal.
Then, I tried to flash TWRP in order to install Magisk. It is during this step that the device is stuck in the bootup process with the 4 colorful circles. Here's what I did
Reboot to boot loader
fastboot flash recover twrp-recovery.img
Reboot to recovery to check TWRP has been installed (it has)
Reboot to system (stuck in bootup!)
How can I get it to boot up again?
I ended up waiting for the battery to drain and the device to shutdown.

Phone now boot into fastboot but not system

Hi
I was trying to install Lineage OS on my device, but I failed, now the phone does not have TWRP anymore, and when I power up, it goes into fast boot only.
I have done quite a lot of work to save my phone, and the last thing that I did was download the stock fastboot rom and run flash_all.bat from it.
(I can not get the Miflash tool working on my PC because when I startup the program, it asks me to download 5 drivers, but it failed to download and throw me an error)

First of all - if your phone boots to fastboot, there seems to be a problem with your bootloader or kernel.
To fix that, you need to reflash aboot.img and boot.img via fastboot.
Boot.img depends on the version, you want to install. Copy both files into your fastboot folder and
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
Code:
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
Code:
fastboot flash aboot_a aboot.img
Code:
fastboot flash aboot_b aboot.img
Now your phone shouldn´t stuck @ fastboot anymore.
Ok, to save your data, you could try to boot twrp:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
If you´re lucky, it can decrypt your data - then you can backup data and internal storage...
If it´s not able to decrypt, you need to install twrp.
To install a fastboot rom without miflash look here
I suggest you to install caf-kernel via twrp. Sometimes your phone boots up with it - magic

Thanks, will give it a try.
Just for my knowledge, what are these boot_a and boot_b please? they relate to the two sim slot in this device?

Boot.img from fastboot rom... To be flashed in partition boot_a and boot_b. Our device is a AB-device. That means all partitions are doubled (except of data). If your system breaks, you can switch to the other slot by "fastboot set_active a" or b if you are on a.... Btw perhaps that fixes your phone too! Boot twrp and you can see which slot is active (under reboot)
