Mine has done the same thing. Went to flash 5.1 nexus image from the google dev site. The flash did boot and radio and failed size on system ( even re-downloaded). I plug my N6 into my linux machine and this what I get on lsusb "Qualcomm, Inc. Gobi Wireless Modem (QDL mode)". I am also in need of help.

So you're like me, no way to enter bootloader right? I've seen some other phones with the same problems but they figured a way out to solve it. I don't know we'll get that
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randy6644:
I'm not sure it has anything to do with the update. My friend didn't flash the 5.1 google factory image . He flashed the 5.1 BL on a 5.0.2 aosp based rom then went back to stock 5.0.1 then flashed the same 5.0.2 aosp rom. Now it ends up dead.

This happened on Samsung devices too and it was a emmc issue, so the internal drive among others was no longer readable and writable and hardware like buttons was not working either. Unless someone comes with the golden tip you`ll have to turn it in for repair. Good luck guys :)

Something should be able to be done using QPST (i.e., to force flash the bootloader), but that is above my level of knowledge.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheAmazingDave:
I'm going through similar with a dead Nexus 7. I think the eMMC died in it though, as it just went out without any tinkering. No sign of life on the device, but is picked up as a Qualcomm modem port and detected by QPST in download mode. I don't have/can't find the hex files required by QPST to flash it though.

I theorize that if a working device can be put in QPST "diag" mode, then QPST will allow exporting the storage contents in a flashable hex file, and that file could be used to restore the boot partitions on the dead device. I haven't been able to find information about this "diag"nostic mode, however.

Same issue guys, Upgraded to 5.1 OTA rooted and flashed cm12 tried to reboot. Nothing. Stuck in "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" QPST will recognize it in Download mode. If we can get these Hex files I will give it a shot. Thanks!

Bricked My Nexus 6

Hi everyone. I'm here because I don't know what else to do. Last night updated my N6 not unlocked or rooted to 5.1 but it was acting funny. When making calls the screen would go black and unresponsive. Only when the call would eventually end would i get the screen back. Also, when finishing boot up the screen would go black for like 10 seconds and revert back to the boot animation and second later its up and running. Needless to say I wasn't going to live with this. So, i decided to revert back to 5.0.1. I did all this using NRT but I do know how to manually do it just never had any problems using NRT. Well, after flashing back to 5.0.1 I booted back up and did all the email and password stuff but when it tried continuing with the process it reverted back to the wifi screen before you sign in. I tried again and still nothing. I went back to recovery and tried the factory reset and wipe cache and rebooted and the same thing happened again. Tried to use NRT to unlock the bootloader but silly me forgot that in order to do that I needed to check OEM unlock and of course never got past the sign in process to be able to do that. I know this was a long story but i wanted to be as detailed as possible about what steps I took and what happened or didn't happen. I don't have much hope but is there a way to get my N6 working again? Especially since I'm making payments for the thing. I bought it from Motorola and got the Moto Care Extended protection. One last question to whomever may know but does side loading the official Android update on a Moto phone void there warranty including the Moto Care. Also, forgot to add that when connected to my PC my N6 show as being connected but nothing from the internal storage is visible. Now I know that can't be good. Sorry, needed to ask that too. I appreciate any and all help I can get, thank you.

Question, did you guys do it with the factory image or with the OTA zip?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coldconfession13:
I did the factory image. I just flashed the bootloader and radio as I was on cm so no need to flash anything further
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wiloid76:
[1QUOTE=bigant262;59424391]Question, did you guys do it with the factory image or with the OTA zip?[/QUOTE]

I used the OTA zip.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synapses:
I also did the factory image right from dev.google.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wiloid76:
I'm guessing I made a mistake using the OTA update maybe? And was actually gonna use the factory image. Although, I've see posts on other sites and here if I remember correctly of people had these similar or exact same issues with 5.0/5.0.1 /5.0.2.. So maybe a certain bug/s that still need fixing causing these issues. I didn't have issues with 5.0 or 5.0.1 on my N6. I never had any issues with my OG Droid or even the GNex and they were easier on the pocket. Now that I put out the most money on a phone ever this happens. I'm pissed knowing that I'll have to continue to make payments on a most likely useless phone now. Why? Cuz now Moto is saying that sideloading is the same as rooting and its not. My phone was locked and unrooted cuz i decided that this time I'd go stock. That is why I chose to sideload because I can do it with a locked bootloader.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheAmazingDave:
I flashed to 5.1 with the OTA using ADB Sideload because the factory image hadn't been posted yet.

I flashed stock system and recovery from extracting the 5.0.1 image so my device would accept the OTA. After that, the OTA flashed on without incident. I got the OTA package from AndroidPolice, I think it came from Sprint. Flashed to my T-Mo phone.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wiloid76:
I did the same thing. I guess I was one of the unlucky ones.... Sigh. I guess there's no way to fix it?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randy6644:

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wiloid76:
This problem with bricking the N6 seems to be getting worse. I hope Google and Motorola recognize that there's a problem, it's not one or two people this is happening to. It's not right to leave people hanging but that's life right? Still, there are people like me who like to unlock and boot their phones but decided not to do it this time. I didn't unlock my phone just sideloaded and here I am repeating what I said a million years ago on this thread lol. I'm just frustrated cuz I made a bonehead mistake and Moto doesn't care about helping me out.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tasssadar:
I removed that G+ post because when you google my name, the second link is that G+ profile and admitting that I kinda know what I'm doing would likely lower the chances to get RMA. It just said that I bricked the device, that it would delay launch of MultiROM and that I _think_ it is because CM zip I used flashed older bootloader and that I couldn't revive it myself. Rather annoying too, because the device communicates nicely via QHUSB_BULB mode, I just don't have the files it needs.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wiloid76:
I tried that link and says it doesn't exist. That the second link I tried discussing how to un unbrick my phone that doesn't work. Seems to me like they don't want us to unbrick or phones so we're forced to buy another one. Just a theory. But it's weird how the links mysteriously lead to nothing.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wiloid76:
It would have helped if I had read this before my conspiracy theory... lol

Also, I have a question for everyone that sent their phones back. Did you tell them what happened? I ask because as I said on my first post on here Moto is saying that they consider sideloading the same as rooting and are saying they won't replace my N6. Sideloading is not rooting I'm not modifying anything, it's done without the need to unlock the bootloader. Plus it was the 5.1 update from Google nothing rooted.

What should I do? Keep hounding them or just give up? Because it seems that unbricking the N6 is impossible.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tasssadar:
Of course not. While I genuinely believe that it is the manufacturer's fault and the device shouldn't get bricked so easily, I did nothing that should brick it and that it is simply a SW bug, the person taking care of RMAs at the shop might not share that belief and probably doesn't even have the knowledge necessary to judge something like this. You could say it is kinda immoral to lie about it, but from my point of view, the device is simply broken. Would it happen had I not rooted it & messed with it? Probably not. This is a Nexus device though, and none of the previous ones I have can be bricked so easily.

I'd really love to know what exactly has happened to the device. Unfortunately, it doesn't tell you *anything* at all. A short little chat with somebody who works on the low-level software on this phone would likely solve it, but that's not gonna happen. Where do you even submit a bug like this? AOSP bug tracker is for...well..AOSP, and I can't imagine messages to the Nexus phone support get to the engineers.

This is so frustrating! When plugged into my linux machine, I can run lsusb and see a line that says:

but that is the only indication I get that it is plugged in and no way that I can see to write to it (not that I would know what to do if I could).

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheAmazingDave:
Surely someone know how to put these in "Diag" mode, the diagnostics mode required to pull data from the device with QPST. We just need them to see this/one of these threads and speak up.

If we can figure that out, owners of working devices could potentially create the hex files we need to re-flash the factory partitions and restore these devices. I haven't given up, but I'm coming up short.

Received my Nexus 6 last Thursday, had a play around on 5.1 factory before deciding to flash LiquidSmooth. Downloaded the ROM, kernel and SuperSU ZIP files and went into TWRP.

Yep, I'm completely gutted. Only had it a few days. Been through plenty of ROM flashes on my Nexus 5 and come out of all with no bricks yet.

On the Nexus 6 I attempted to go from Lollipop 5.1 with Encryption disabled boot.img to LiquidSmooth. I personally couldn't see where I went wrong, downloaded kernel and ROM, reboot to TWRP, flash ZIPs...

Suddenly screen goes black, I'm baffled. Sent it off to a repair centre now, apparently they're going to JTAG it back into action. Don't think I'll venture back into custom ROMs again now :(

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tasssadar:
Yeah, seen it already - that ZIP doesn't contain bootloader, so I have no idea how did you get your device bricked.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Delboyd12:
That's what I figured... Maybe it was a legit hardware failure? I mean I've flashed hundreds of ROMs to Nexus 5 so am fairly familiar with the process. This however was something else. One thing to note however is that only 5 seconds after queuing the ROM, kernel and SuperSU, it came up as completed. After hitting 'Reboot to system', it turned black. 5 seconds is no where near long enough to flash all 3...

OK. I'm ready to take the plunge since I'm not expecting T-Mobile to release an official upgrade any time soon (if ever). Before I upgrade my Vario II from WM5 to WM6, can someone answer the following questions (yes, I have read the wiki about flashing and upgrading).

1. What version is "best" for T-Mobile Vario II?

2. Can I go back to WM5 if I need to return my phone under warranty?

My desktop PC runs Vista if that makes any difference re. the choice of WM6 to use (I think some programs require ActiveSync?).

Re. 2, I see that there is a copy of the ROM on this site - does that mean I just download and install over WM6 if I need to?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] campfred:
I'm myself using Purify CM13 and it's working very well. Although, NFC isin't working (Usual thing).

I'm surprised to see that this one has all the 5 GHz Wi-Fi channels working (well, as far as I know for the canadian norm). Most CM roms I used had only half of the 5 GHz channels with no way to connect on a weak signal.

Also, battery life is good in my opinion. Enables me to go through the day and arrive home with like between 20 and 30% battery life left.

One thing to note, the Purify kernel is not able to boot the system when plugged in. You need to unplug your phone, boot it (wait for Android to be actually booting up after the bootloader) and plug it back in.

Also, you only have the standard customizations baked in CyanogenMod. No other customizations added.

But aside these in my opinion minor issues, this is so far the best AOSP rom I ever had. It's also the most up to date on CM's sources I could find. Last time it got updated it was on October 17 2016 and it had the 72th revision.

Excellent performance and stability.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] campfred:
The S-Pen does work on CM, although, you won't have the features Samsung made without installing seperate apps. I know AllianceROM is pretty much the most complete rom you could find that would be based on the Note 3's TouchWiz build. Although, I've found that starting from the original one and putting in desired mods was the best idea for me. That way, my system was rock solid and still fast...well as fast as TouchWiz could be so not always that much. xD

But! I've found that Phronesis' roms were the best modded TouchWiz roms and ports I've found. They're based on darkera's work and taken to the next level. They updated their N7 port lately to the 4th version. You should definitively check it out. Otherwise, I tried extensively AryaMod which was also superb but was getting really slow after a few months of usage on my phone.

So yeah. Phronesis is what I recommend if you want something TouchWiz build. Again, you'll loose NFC if it's something you're concerned about. :)

Hi hope everyone is doing well, although I am pretty old member and experienced in rooting stuff - I am stuck at a point this is my Samsung device and I am not sure what to do - my friend bought me this phone which probably looks like SGH-M919V and it looks like a Canadian variant which also is carrier unlocked.

I am stuck on Android 4.3 and countless times I saw the update happening but failing at the 25% after rebooting and sometimes got error of the status of the phone that is 'custom'

Now I am willing to flash it to stock firmware through an articlehonai-android.blogspot . com/2014/03/how-to-update-galaxy-s4-canadian-sgh-m919v.html

Though I read a warning " The Android 4.4.2 VLUFNB5 KitKat firmware is compatible only with the Canadian version of Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337M). Applying this to any incorrect variant might brick the device. Verify the model number of the Galaxy S4 by navigating to Settings >> About Phone."

and have four different firmwares of different carrier's like Moblicity, Wind Mobile, East Link Videotron.

I am thinking to flash the stock but I am perplexed that using either of the firmware would brick my phone? and I can't find a away to find out which carrier i belong to.

the model number says SGH-M919V and Buildnumber is JSS15J.M919VVLUEMK5
