Hey there,

unfortunately my Nexus 7 2013 Wi-Fi (flo), which was rooted and ran on
Stock Android 4.4.2 and TWRP, suddenly stopped working.
I was experiencing some lags and decided to reboot it, but it never
powered back on. I didn't modify any system files.
I'm unable to enter recovery or download mode, but it seems that it is
now in QDL mode:

lsusb:
Bus 002 Device 017: ID 05c6:9008 Qualcomm, Inc. Gobi Wireless Modem (QDL
mode)

dmesg:
usb 2-4: new high-speed USB device number 15 using ehci_hcd
usb 2-4: New USB device found, idVendor=05c6, idProduct=9008
usb 2-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
usb 2-4: Product: QHSUSB_DLOAD
usb 2-4: Manufacturer: Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM
qcserial 2-4:1.0: Qualcomm USB modem converter detected
usb 2-4: Qualcomm USB modem converter now attached to ttyUSB0

I hope someone is going to be able to help me. :)

Go into TWRP and flash the nandroid you hopefully made for the situation.

power it off than volume down and power button and after a while it'll show you the bootloader than grab the factory images and flash them onto your nexus. I foyu want more info, search around. I've posted on one of the threads on how to use factory images

I cant use the factory images because i cant get into fastboot or anything else. The only thing i get is the QDL mode.
I cant enter recovery or fastboot or anything else

I think you're fried, man. Every time one of my devices was stuck in QHSUSB_DLOAD it had to be JTAGed. That's a definite hard brick. Sorry I don't have happier tidings.
