[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikegfc:
Deleted my os about a year ago and tryed to fix the problem then with no sucsess.

i have a bit more knowledge about rooting and was wondering if its posible to actually fix my nexus and thought i would ask here for first time.

i have looked everywhere and gathard as much info as i can on this situation over the year but i cant find whats wrong i have tryed flashing a new rom and i suspeced its somthing to do with flashing a image file but cant be sure if this is correct one or even if it the same thing.

Thats if im correct but im sure is more than that.

I am using nexus 6 i think its the latest model before they stoped making them.

I think i did a stock root or/and kernal when i first rooted the phone. i went to wipe data and formated it insted!!!

And ever sinse the phone has came up with no os installed

So i just figured i had to download a new rom that compatible this the phone but i not sure on that as i have tryed and no sucsess.

I have no back up available now i did before but the wife wiped it from the pc not knowing what the file was for and lost it.

I know if it can be fixed u are the guys that can and would really appreciate and time a patience any of u give me to fix my baby really miss the phone.

Let's start with some basics.

Can you reboot to the bootloader? (Power+Vol Down)

If you can get to the bootloader, can you get to recovery using the volume buttons then power to select?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikegfc:
I can yes as far as i know i can do everything i need to do just when i flash a kernal it says successful and boots start to boot into recovery and doesnt start to main screen so. i can us the phone and still says no os installed.

I have looked at the barcodes in bootloader and it has no IMEI no SKU date has been reset to 01-01-1970 but still have my serial number.

Not sure if this info helps but more info u know the beter chance we have of understanding whats going on.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
I've attached an image of the bootloader screen. You don't need to go into a submenu. This will be more important if these next steps don't work for you.

Since you can get into recovery, the simplest solution is to sideload the full OTA. If this is a Verizon variant, you need to use the 7.1.1 NGI77B, Oct 2017, Verizon release. Otherwise, use the 7.1.1 N6F27M, Oct 2017.

The instructions on the linked page are very good and work with either TWRP or stock recovery installed. This will however replace TWRP with the stock recovery so once everything is up and running, you will need to use fastboot to reinstall TWRP if you want it.

TWRP is available here. Make sure to scroll down to the Fastboot install instructions. You need to reboot directly to recovery after installing else the stock ROM will overwrite TWRP again. If this happens start the TWRP installation again.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikegfc:
Yep i reconise the version is n6f27m i think this will sort my problem i will try it tomorrow if i cam get access to a pc to do it however i will let u know gow it goes but 70% it will work :good:

Hello!

I am a new owner of a used Nexus 6 that was on the latest original Android and had a busted USB port. I replaced the USB port and flashed TWRP + LineageOS 15.1 + OpenGApps + AddonSU.

I have the charging problem as in this thread: https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/help/charging-problems-t3300579

I put detailed reproduction/test info in the 15.1 thread here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=81857473&postcount=2584

I've now flashed 16.0 as well and the behavior appears to be exactly the same.

Is there a solution known to this problem?

Is there any original Firmware versions I can try to install? I have seen people mention D/E/M versions elsewhere, what does that mean?

EDIT: I am relatively confident that this problem did *not* occur before I replaced the USB port and reflashed it, as the phone was being charged exclusively through wireless charge then due to the usb port being busted.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
Have you tried flashing the final official Google factory image to see if the problem continues?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] learlyman:
That is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. Is there anything special about flashing it other than the regular wipe + flash through twrp?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
No, that is a full factory image that has to be flashed through fastboot. At the top of the linked page are instructions. You don't need to do the unlocking part since obviously if you have TWRP/custom ROM, the bootloader is unlocked.

BTW, you'll lose TWRP in this process. It's easy enough to reinstall once you verify the other problems are fixed.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] learlyman:
Thanks. I followed the instructions and managed to boot into stock android. Unfortunately it has exactly the same problem.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
To my mind, that leaves hardware. Maybe a bad battery (yes, coincidences happen), double check your USB repair, charger, cable...

Just out of interest, not any expectations that it will help, try rebooting to bootloader. Use the volume buttons to get to logs (something like that) then long hold the power button until the device resets. That should force wipe the power logs.

Edit:

There's something in the back of my head that thinks the power button or ribbon cable from them to the board might cause trouble like this.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VerucaSalt:
I just bought a N6.

Will I receive an OTA update or have to flash manually?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runekock:
The last stock rom is from October 2017. If for some strange reason your phone isn't already updated to that version, I assume that you'll get an OTA.

The stock rom can also be installed manually from Google's site.

After updating to the latest stock, look at the various custom roms: they have more features and are security updated.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KhaosEmerald:
Hi all!

I'll try and make this as clear as possible as I'm a bit of a noob with all of this. I've been wanting to learn about custom roms etc for a while and I've been searching for a cheap device.

Ive found a nexus 6 for just £30, but there are some issues I'm wondering if I can work around.

Previous owner had a custom rom on it, but failed to make a backup of the os when wiping it for selling.

The USB port on the phone doesn't work so wireless charging is the one option which is fine because I only use that anyways.

The device currently only boots into twrp, but as the USB isn't working I need to know if there is any way of getting a rom onto it via any other means.

I apologise if its a stupid question but I'm still learning.

Thanks! :)

Settings --> about phone - Baseband version (newest for sprint should be MDM9625_10446.01.02.95R) that is your radio. Your bootloader I believe you'ad actually have to go into your bootloader via holding the power button and the volume down button for ten seconds. The bootloader should be: moto-apq8084-71.08 (sha-32B8854, 2014-12-09 14:00:26) if it's updated. Hope that helps

Hi all. Got my Nexus 6 for couple of days. I have two noob question. 1. It's possible to use custom kernel with stock ROM? 2. When I unlock bootloader and root my device, how may I install future Android update? I guess that OTA or any automatic installation will break something.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djdarkknight96:
1. If you find a custom kernel that supports stock yes, I'm sure these guys will suggest great ones.

2. If you run a custom Rom you'll not get OTA's but I do believe you will still get them even rooted. Been a long time since I was stock. CM11/12 working best but there are so many other rooms for you to choose from...But be careful of CRACKFLASHING...Rom flashing addiction...I'm a fellow member lol
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrongway213:
Welcome!

1. Yes it most certainly is - Nexus devices let you combine all sorts of things provided you have an unlocked bootloader.

2. If you choose to use a custom ROM, you can upgrade via simply updating your ROM with a clean flash. If you use sock, though, you can sideload the OTA via TWRP recovery. Or you can push the OTA to your device via either fastboot (connection via USB and following some basic commands - fastboot guides can be found on XDA) or using a toolkit such as Wugfresh's Nexus Root Toolkit to push the update to your device. Basically, you won't have issues upgrading just because you unlock your bootloader and modify thingss at all - you just won't use the standard OTA method that you would with a totally stock device. On a Nexus it is as painless as it gets to upgrade to a new Android version without using official OTA, so this is definitely the phone to learn all this on. I hope this all helps - enjoy the phone while you have it and if you have any more questions, don't be a stranger!

Edit: Ninja'd by DJ by trying to be thorough lol

I am aware of ROM flashing addiction :o

I had 2012 sony xperia s with 5.1 aosp, and always had most recent version of Android. But sony dropped device support after 4.1 so basically I never used OTA. Now about Nexus... I was just wondering, while I am using new Nexus it's even afordable to use anything but stock.

Hey guys not sure if it will be helpful posting it here but I'm having a small issue with the storage space like it seriously seems off. I have the 32gb version and I remembered when I had got the device my total space storage was about 25gb or 26gb between there and remembering that the system was only taking about 6gigs but now my phone total reads 23gb which is very strange even after setting it back to stock like when it's fresh out the box and still says 23gb here's a screenshot anyone ever had this issue?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwibbles33:
Well you're certainly not crazy, I checked out mine and total is a little over 25GB, just some possibilities would be maybe the system partition was enlarged. Check out this app

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwibbles33:
Okay so it looks like it may be a userdata problem, something a factory reset doesn't fix. If you know what you're doing you can use fastboot to reset the whole partition. However this will erase everything, so have backups and know what you're doing first. This thread talks about the issue, read through what the users have been saying on there and get an idea of what they mean. A factory reset and formatting /data are two different things. Factory reset gets rid of settings and apps but preserves some files. Where formatting /data completely takes out the whole partition and starts it fresh. I'll let you look through that first and feel free to come back and ask more questions if need be.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
"Fastboot format userdata" does fix this issues. Note that this will wipe the contents of your SDcard.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwibbles33:

Sorry I couldn't post earlier had gotten real busy throughout the day but yea I got everything taken care of but instead of the fastboot all I did was factory data reset from the settings > backup & reset.

---------- Post added at 09:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 PM ----------

You can do it from the phone settings also if your going through the same issue. Go into settings > backup & reset and factory data reset just make sure you backup everything on your PC.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrongway213:
Yeah, it's when you connect to your device's bootloader as opposed to via ADB to enter terminal command. You can use it to root your phone, flash a custom recovery (TWRP), flash back to stock, unlock, format user data, all kinds of things.

Quick search is leading me to threads from 2008 and stuff about modding MMS apk so I figure I'll just ask here as I'm guessing it's super basic. I've always used Textra, just switched to stock messaging app since it's fully themed on certain themes. Textra saved photos automatically to a Textra folder on sdcard. I noticed stock messaging app doesn't appear to save them anywhere automatically, not finding an option to change it - is there one or do you have to save them? If so no biggie, my more important question is: is there any way to redirect them to a different folder (i.e. Pictrues) instead of having my Download folder fill up with photos on a regular basis? I'm guessing it's either an outright "no" or simple fix so I decided to be lazy and ask here instead of searching for more than five minutes or so and finding nothing to be honest.. regardless, full theming sure is lovely.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I'm not 100% on this but I think when you save them they go to a "messenger" folder in the Google photos app. I know that's where mine are and I know I didn't create that album.

Factory Reset

This may seem like a dumb question but I thought that if you do a factory reset in settings it returns you to the original settings. I have been testing the various ROMs and decided to go back to stock so to clean things up I did a factory reset. Instead of going back to original settings it just reboot into same ROM and restored my apps. Is something wrong or is this how the Nexus 6 works when it's rooted. I'm currently in android LVY47H the last rom I tested.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
No, to return to stock, you must flash a factory image. A factory reset just wipes internal storage and resets all settings to default.
