[Q] Is my Gnex motherboard faulty?

Hi guys,
I can't flash any ROM/Kernel/whatever file via Bootloader/ODIN & Recovery. Worst still I can't access Recovery now.
My Nexus can goto Bootloader or ODIN mode but once i started to push files to it, it will just freeze. Please refer below for photos:

BEFORE
AFTER
My Gnex was on the latest Paranoid ROM and Franco kernel.
Timeline:
1. It just went into bootloop when I am just browsing the internet.
2. Went to Recovery to clear cache. (that's my mistake, should have waited longer for my device to boot :crying
3. Still bootloop.
4. Went to recovery to flash stock kernel as I suspect it's kernel fault.
5. Kernel flash failed as it the operation was aborted and restarted. Bootloop again.
6. Done battery pull and went to Recovery to Restore my backup Nandroid.
7. Flashing halfway and it frooze.
8. Can't access Recovery anymore.
9. Tried to restore stock rom using ODIN. Failed at NandWrite as the screen froze as the above image.
10. Tried WugfFresh to restore back to stock rom and failed again as the screen froze.
So guys, can i conclude that my motherboard is the culprit here?
Thanks in advance.

Are you able to get into the bootloader? Have you tried manual fastboot flash of factory images?

Hi,
Yes, I am able to get to bootloader.. the problem is when i start to do fastboot flash the factory images (using WugFresh).. the screen will start to freeze with double image as per my 1st post...

Sound like there is a possibility of corrupt nand partition .... though that is usually unlikely unless you are an extreme flashaholic ... but still possible
but the guy above is suggesting use the fastboot commands manually rather than using the toolkit as it sometimes makes a difference
As in manually flash the recovery in the bootloader then see if you can get into recovery, but there are many avenues that you can take to see where you can get with this. There are many places that explain how to do this step by step on the web.
Also you should always try switching usb ports and usb cables as sometimes it will cause issues
I know i used the same usb port with the same usb cable to flash my n7 and gnex multiple time then one day it just stopped working switched the port and cable then it started working again.
But other than that I don't know much about is a possible JTAG but I really doubt that will help at all since the device does does get into bootloader and odin just freezes....

corrupt nand partition... that's an interesting theory... will explore on the solutions on the manual fastboot commands...
thanks!!

[FIXED] adb sideload "timed out waiting for package"

Hi guys, i'm new in this forum, so please pardon me if i did something wrong.
i really need a help now, my asus zenfone 2 (ZE551ML) got bricked Yesterday.
this is the timeline why my zenfone 2 got bircked:
1. I rooted my phone without cwm or anything else on around 2 weeks ago
2. Yesterday, i recieved the firmware update message (auto download) and i accidentaly clicked on update now without unrooting first.
3. My phone stuck on the logo screen, loading forever (softbrick?)
4. i've tried to factory reset and wipe all the system cache via recovery mode, but it didn't wok.
5. i looked at some forum and youtube said that i can flash rom my device to unbrick my device with 2 ways : via adb and microsd.
6. using adb sound promising, so i learnt how to flash rom via adb and i downloaded the latest firmware on the official website.
7. i tried to flash rom via adb: i've put the firmware zip on adb folder and open windows command in that folder, i connected my zenfone 2 with usb and start to "apply update from adb" and type "adb sideload xxxx.zip".
8. several times later i got message: "timed out waiting for package, installation aborted".
9. i repeated step 7 and 8 for almost 5 times and the results are same
Can someone help me? I'm really frustated now cause i can't using my phone or maybe share the reference about flash rom with microsd, because i've tried it but i don't really understand how to do it
Thx. in advance for all of you
nb: i've tried to search in this forum, but i didn't find correct answer for me

FINALLY I FOUND HOW TO FIX IT IN THIS SITE http://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=39487 THE PROBLEM IS PERSIST WITH MINE AND FINALLY I DIDN'T NEED TO STPCK RECOVERY! THX FOR THE REPLIES GUYS

since you know how to go into recovery mode so i'll skip that part,
use this adb tool instead https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001607611

If you have an external sdcard take it out and copy the firmware you want to side load and copy it to the external sdcard. Now name it "MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip" and reboot to fastboot and choose recovery. It should automatically flash the firmware. Move it to a folder when you are done or it will install automatically every time you reboot to recovery.

"Failed to boot to recovery mode..." - Suggestions?

Hi Everyone!
It's been a long time since I posted here. Just got an M9 and having a few issues, It's obviously been flashed with custom ROMs before, is S-OFF and unlocked.
Unfortunately I can't get into the recovery, Ideally I'd like to return to a close to stock ROM. It throws up this message when I try to get in:
"Failed to boot to recovery mode... This build is for development purposes only..."
Download mode says "SD NOT MOUNTED" at the bottom (I don't know if that's normal)
I've tried to install various versions of TWRP via fastboot to no avail!
I've flashed lots of ROMs to my M8 before with no problems, but just having trouble as I don't know what's been changed on this phone! Any help much appreciated!
Few more details pulled from download mode:
htc_himauhl PVT S-OFF
CID-ORANG001
LK-1.0.0.0000
firmware version: 0x7

Solved. Just had to flash TWRP, then go straight to recovery before getting to OS by holding UP/DOWN as it rebooted. Tiny little quirk!

I have a problem like that but I can't boot to download mode either. I get the message "failed to boot to download mode" then at the bottom "this build is for development purposes only ...". Please help!

The thing is I didn't have usb debugging enabled when the device crashed and started a boot loop. Now I'm stuck in the bootloader and I don't know what to do? Any advice?

In bootloader mod you have to use fastboot not adb.
Adb is only for OS or TWRP.
So you can try to flash recovery in bootloader with
fastboot flash recovery filename.img
then try to boot from recovery to download mode

HELP SM-T805 DOESNT BOOT

I TRIED TO FLASH LINEAGE OS WITH TWRP, BUT I DIDN'T EVEN MAKE IT TO THE WIPE STEP! I USED THESE INSTRUCTIONS: https://www.howtogeek.com/348545/how-to-install-lineageos-on-android/ And I made it to Step 4 without any problems. When I pressed the reboot button, however, it said “OS Not Installed” or something. The guide stated that it would automatically reboot to recovery, but it is currently not booting at all. The battery charging icon doesn't even turn off, and it's just stuck on. The only option I have is to use the power button+vol down+home key to enter download mode. When i try to choose the reboot button, as it takes me to the Samsung boot screen, and I'm stuck there unless i press the download mode button again, in after which I'm taken to the battery charging icon AGAIN. I attempted to boot into recovery mode, but it was unsuccessful. Please assist me!

Unable to root Honor 7x (BND-AL10)

As getting raspberryPI is impossible now a days, i wanted to use my old device(Honor 7x) like one by installing PostmarketOS on it.
Got successful in Unlocking the bootloader. But not able to root it. Will walk though all the steps and tries i did so far.
If i have posted this question in the wrong place or without out proper tag, please let me know, i will change it asap.
Device : Honor 7x (BND-AL10)
Android Version : 9
EMUI Version : 9.1.0
Build number : 9.1.0.168(C675E7R1P1)
Bootloader unlocking process (Success):​The Huawei's site, where it asks for device id, imei number etc is no more alive, so i looked out and tried various other methods. Finally landed on PotatoNV.
I removed my back cover, found my devices test point, shorted them, ran potatoNV and it worked, I got the message as `bootloader unlocked` on the bootloader screen.
Rooting process (Failure):​Downloaded various twrp recovery image that i found from the twrp site and also from the forums various threads from xda and tried to flash using fastboot
adb reboot bootloader
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
to get the device into bootloader mode
it failed when i tried to flash the twrp recovery image using
fastboot flash recovery twrp_recovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
later found my device is "A only" recovery partition type and also for my device the partition was different, so the following command was successful in writing the recovery image to the mentioned partition
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp_recovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After the writing was successful, i issued
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
soon after hitting enter on the above command, i removed the cable and tried to enter fastboot mode by press and hold on Volume Up + Power button.
And got this "ERROR MODE 11 recovery image 2 load failed".

Spent 3 weeks in trying out most solutions from this form and from blog posts, im unable to install twrp recovery image to root it. After multiple attempts of flashing twrp recovery image.
Update:
1. Tried to convert using "Magisk app". and later tried to flash this recovery image into the device. still the same "ERROR MODE 11 recovery image 2 load failed".
Then, tried to directly boot through the recovery image without flashing into the device with
fastboot boot twrp_recovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
FAILED (remote: 'invalid command')
fastboot: error: Command failed
2. Tried using "Huawei Multi tool" with the same twrp recovery images, unable to install twrp and root my device.
Need Help Please!!!
