Venue 8 T02D003 can't boot - Dell Venue

My Venue 8 started with a whiter bar at the bottom of the screen. I've updated it as this link "opensource.dell.com/releases/Venue_8_3840_Merrifield". It's ok but slowly. So I edit some line in "P802_flash_device_wifi_only.bat". I added 2 line "fastboot erase config" and "fastboot erase factory" in partitioning command. After that, my Venue can't boot. After Dell logo, screen is black. It still can go to fastboot. I try flash rom again with original "P802_flash_device_wifi_only.bat" but there is no diffrence. May 2 lines I added cause this problem? If so, how to resolve the problem? Please help me.
original "P802_flash_device_wifi_only.bat"
Code:
fastboot oem start_partitioning
fastboot flash /tmp/partition.tbl partition.tbl
fastboot oem partition /tmp/partition.tbl
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase data
fastboot erase logs
fastboot oem stop_partitioning
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Fastboot Flash vs Fastboot Erase

Was wondering if someone can explain the difference in the set of commands, as I see it on different guides in regards to flashing a new rom. does "Flashing" a partition technically erase it, overwrite it? Overwrite it leaving extra junk behind?
Code:
>fastboot erase boot
>fastboot erase recovery
>fastboot erase system
>fastboot flash system system.img
>fastboot flash boot boot.img
>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
VS
Code:
>fastboot flash system system.img
>fastboot flash boot boot.img
>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

>fastboot erase boot - Tells fastboot to erase the boot partition

Flashing a partition overwrites the existing contents. I should mention that using fastboot to install a ROM is a slow way to go. Fastboot is typically used for quick simple flashes or repairs, like changing your kernel/boot image. Also, fastboot makes a device practically unbrickable.
Yes they are different, read:
The flash command shouldn't erase the partition unless the host fastboot tool sends an erase command first. This allows flashing a very large partition in multiple smaller chunks using multiple sparse images that start with a "skip" block to seek over the already-written area. Creating these images on demand is already handled by the fastboot host side tool.

Boot Loop

Hi guys, I've tried all the threads so far and have got no where. I unlocked my device and flashed a custom rom, that worked fine. I then noticed no way to go back to stock so I tried the odexed version with no luck. Now any rom I flash does not boot, just loops back to twrp. I would like to get as close to stock as possible even if it's another region. Has anyone had any luck on getting their phones booting after this?
I've tried flashing stock firmware from 6.0.1 then flashing ota through side load
Flashing other countries firmware (which always ends in fail messages)
I've tried multiple rom from the forum which just loop.
I've spent about 6 hours trying different combinations of recovery, boot and other images with no luck.
Any help is appreciated.

I have gotten stuck with bootloops a couple times now, for me re-flashing a backup or custom rom or custom kernel didn't fix it either. Keep in mind that you cannot go back to 6.0.1 once you have flashed 7.0, the bootloader won't allow it. I have had to flash back to a stock firmware from https:// firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto%20Z/Stock/XT1650-03/ (remove the space after https:// ) and re-fastboot flash TWRP, re-root, and restore my Titanium Backups to get going again.
It's extremely helpful if you create a servicefile.bat to flash all the firmware parts in the right order. This is the one I made for flashing the RETMX 7.0 image (the main difference I noticed between different firmwares from that link is the number of sparsechunks, so add or delete lines as necessary. I'm sure all this info is available elsewhere, but I didn't manage to find it all in one shot. So I figured I would post it to help others out that are in the same boat. Also note that even though you are re-flashing the bootloader.img it does not re-lock your bootloader.

Copy the above text and paste it into a new text file and change the name to "servicefile.bat" without quotes (not servicefile.bat.txt), and drop it in with the extracted firmware files. Then either copy-paste your adb and fastboot files into that folder or drop all that folder's contents into your Users/*YOURNAME*/App Data/Local/Android/sdk/platform-tools/ folder. Or better yet, add "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools" to your Path in your system's Environment Variables. The latter will make adb and fastboot work from any command prompt window, then you can just press shift+right-click in the folder that already has the firmware files and choose "Open command window here" and then just type servicefile.bat and press enter. Hope this helps! Good Luck and Happy Flashing!

Dude, you are awesome. Worked like a charm. Was missing fastboot getvar max-sparse-size andbfastboot oem fb_mode_set plus I was flashing the modem after the chunks. Thanks again!

[CLOSED] Better not unlock the bootloader, if you plan to resell..

As the Title suggests , its better not to unlock the bootloader for rooting, if you plan to re-sell the phone, because till now there has not been found any sure shot way to lock the bootloader again.
The motorola official site does'nt have the stock firmware for Moto Z2 Play variants yet, so until then atleast, please be patient.
For me, the only reason to maintain bootloader locked is the garantee.
totally fake, u can relock it, use any retail firmware and this commands

hi, i have tried the same as you gave command. but unfortunately it doesn't work for me. i had installed soak test OREO then moved to Android P custom ROM, finally rolled back to android N to relock the bootloader. now i couldn't relock it.
i am getting error "still require valid signed image"
i am using sanders.
kindly assist me

Don't worry about the signed image. Try the locking command twice back to back. Hope this helps

If you did a nandroid backup (e.g., TWRP etc.), do a full 'clean restore (i.e., wipe cache, Dalvik cache, system AND format data > Yes (important).
If not, do the same full wipe, reboot to fastboot and flash the stock rom. You could also try the Motorola "Rescue and Smart Assistant" but I'm not sure it will work in your particular case.
If you want to go back to stock ROM or "OS" consider this method unofficial works on RETCA not sure about other devices, Verizon for sure needs its own software, The requirements of this method are Windows 10/11, Motorola's USB Drivers and a working Fastboot. Download the stock ROM from here https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/motorola/borneo/ match the model of the device, Extract the firmware guessing it's in Downloads folder open that folder in the Terminal here's an example "cd C:\Users\smoke\Downloads" then here are commands to flash converted from the xml files

This has worked for me never had a problem don't expect the same outcome, I would read the terms and services you agreed to when unlocking the bootloader.
Mind if I ask what custom ROM you were using? I haven't seen any for this phone yet
