[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Az Biker:
Setting up my replacement 6P up, I am running into bootloop just after the colored balls start juggling.

Fastboot bootloader latest

fastboot radio 3.79 (Verizon)

Fastboot recovery (The Flash's 3.1.1-13 F2FS)

Changed file system (data, cache to F2FS)

Loaded all the needed files in TWRP folder (right from Bean's update post)

Wiped (factory reset)

installed according to The Flash's instructions HERE

Used SuperSU 2.82 latest stable

The Flash's F2FS kernel 2.4

bootlooping after the colored GOOGLE balls start juggling. (about 20 minutes now)

Anybody have any ideas? [MENTION=6842057]The Flash[/MENTION]
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nathanchance:
Try booting with ext4 first then convert to f2fs afterwards.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Az Biker:
Didn't think of that..

UPDATE 1: I downloaded all the files fresh again after going back to EXT4 (just in case something got borked)

So far, it has booted to the colored google balls and they've been juggling like normal for about 5 minutes.... fingers crossed!

UPDATE 2: after about 8 minutes, it successfully completed the boot process!

Thanks [MENTION=6842057]The Flash[/MENTION] !!!

Returning RMA 6P to factory image, wiping everything, using Step 10. How To Flash The Factory Images (And Return To Stock) from THIS guide.

D/l latest factory image

followed the steps perfectly

upon reboot I get dead android with "No Command" flashing?

Tried this method TWICE, same result.

Only variance is the guide suggests booting into TWRP and wiping dalvik/cache for 7.1.2, but when I tried to reboot into recovery, I got the dead android "No Command"

On the second go around, I skipped the 'boot into recovery' step and just selected START, and got the dead android "No Command"...

Any ideas?

UPDATE: Used skips often tool to flash stock image. Still not sure what went bad with my fastboot, but it's back to oem stock, and shipped to Google.

Thanks for your input.

Personally, I would flash a cache image from an older factory image. Just to try and see if it booted. Can't do any harm.

Hi, I have a 6p on O dp4. While I was on dp2 I attempted to flash linegae os but I bootlooped despite formatting via twrp. Then I upgraded to dp3 to unenroll from the beta but It did the update process but booted back into dp3. I can update to dp4 which I am on. But I want to flash a 7.1.2 rom but don't have a computer to adb into for a month or so. Help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have a nexus 6p coming today.

I'm clear on everything about unlocking the bootloader & twrp.

No problems.

What I want to know is can I flash Magisk for my 1st root flash instead of SuperSU?

I'm not real clear on how to get Magisk working.

Tried it on a tablet once but got a message about boot img already patched.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
Flash the Magisk zip file first, then download the Magisk Manager from the play store. Sorted.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaladhjin:
Alrighty ty.

I have to boot once first after unlocking the bootloader & installing twrp before flashing Magisk root yeah?

Just did a clean install of Android O. Bootloader unlocked and rooted with Magisk. After I got everything set up, I realized I could not receive text messages. I use Google Messages and I can send just fine. Tried another SMS client (Textra) with same result. Wiped Dalvik cache with no result. Can't change the Verizon APN settings (not sure if that would help anyway). Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

*Update* - Taking out the SIM and putting it back in seemed to fix the issue

Update 2 - Got a dump of a bunch of messages, then issue started again

Hey guys - It seems I've been a victim of the shutdown bug as well. Phone shutdown at 5% today so will be RMAing it. I don't have a backup phone and annoying that none of my friends have one either which means that I'd have to buy a second hand cheap phone. Anywho, budget between $100-$120 and I must be able to easily root. Sorry if this is not the place to ask this.

I have questions to Magisk users

I have now stock Android Oreo final. I dont have installed TWRP. I want to install Magisk root to hide it for Android Pay and Snapchat. My Questions:

1. Will Magisk work with final Oreo?

2. What are steps to get Magisk? I should install TWRP, and then via TWRP install Magisk?

3. If i finaly get Magisk what about OTA updates?

Can someone write me the guide, please.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
If you are stock O, there's no need for Magisk to hide anything, especially if you want OTA updates. Let the devs do their magic. O has only been released a few days. Give it time. Also the dev of Magisk needs to work his magic too.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g_oral:
I do not understand you. I need root to unlock 60fps for camera and i also need android pay to work. So thats why i need magisk. You say that there is no possibility for now to root Oreo with magisk?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
That is not what I said. You have to read what YOU said. And I quote: (my comments in RED.

"I have now stock Android Oreo final. I dont have installed TWRP. I want to install Magisk root to hide it for Android Pay and Snapchat. My Questions:

1. Will Magisk work with final Oreo? Who knows. Have you tried yourself?

2. What are steps to get Magisk? I should install TWRP, and then via TWRP install Magisk? Yes

3. If i finaly get Magisk what about OTA updates?" See below.

If you don't have TWRP installed, how will you flash Magisk? Have you tried another method? If you are rooted by any method, the only way to get OTA updates is to sideload them. You will not be able to take an OTA as it comes, Over The Air.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g_oral:
I understand that i can instal magisk on oreo. To do so i need to install twrp, then i install magisk.

In future if ota arrives i need to download system image, install it via twrp and again instal magidk. Am i right?

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Az Biker:
How long will your replacement take to arrive? Might be worth it to deal with the random shutdown until the replacement arrives.

Unless RMAs work differently where you are.

I just recently RMA'd mine and received a replacement in 3 days.

Good luck.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spuri78:
Not sure how long it will take but I know for sure as hell, it won't be 3 days lol. I think it might take at least a week or two and on top of that, if Huawei repairer doesn't have any refurb phones in stock, I might get the refund. If that happens, then I would need some time to do some research for my new phone etc. So, due to uncertainty, I'm thinking it'd be better to have a backup phone.

I can have Nexus 5 for up to 150 bucks so maybe that might be a better option??

yes you can do what you want,but i did it only with supersu i didn't with magisk so first download the supersu HERE and put it on your mobile then unzip this file "angler-opr6.170623.013.zip" and open flash-all.bat if you use windows and remove this " -w ", then flash the twrp recovery and flash supersu and finally you got what you want ;)

If they are broken, you could replace them. Replacement speakers are approx $1-$4 each. Google how to do it.

Or just go to some repair shop and get it sorted.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaherdin:
Forgive this, maybe naive question, but it is the System.img 1.86GB I should flash in twrp, right?

Because the file angler-opr6.170623.013.zip can't be flashed inside twrp at all.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
You flash all with fastboot. You can't flash the file with TWRP. You need to extract the file and use the flashall.bat file or fastboot the files individually.

Hello everybody!

Need help with recovery pictures/videos from my Nexus 6p.

Device is not rooted/unlocked. Device is encrypted. Stock.

I was trying to transfer pictures from the phone to PC, using the MTP protocol. I gues tehre is no other simple way to do that.

During the transfer system said that it can't get access to the file. I cancled the process. Checked the files on my phone - evrything is ok.

Next day I wasnt able to finde my media. But at the same time it is presented, I can tell it by the space used on my storage. It seems files are still there but system is not able to see them.

All the recovery methods needs root, to get root I have to wipe the user partition. And loose all my data.

Is there anything I can do?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chouiyekh:
no, don't install the system image from twrp, install it using ADB on your computer or by FlashFire app (needs root)

in my opinion, i advise you to do it using ADB it's easy

I've succesflully flashed the Pure Nexus on my 6P; now I got several battery problems (sudden shutdown at about 10-15% of battery level).

I've tried to calibrate the battery but nothing changed. So I'm going to open an RMA because the phone is still under warranty.

I think the battery problem that I have is not linked to Pure Nexus ROM but I cannot open an RMA with a non-stock ROM.

So I'm going to flash the factory images downloaded from Google site.

Two noob questions:

1) after flashing back the stock rom, can Huawei detect that in the past I've flashed a custom rom? The warranty is fine or is it still broken?

2) after flashing back the stock rom, can I relock the bootloader or can I leave it unlocked and the warranty is still file because I have the stock rom?

thanks in advance
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
Better to relock the bootloader. You'll have to wipe the device anyway before you send it back. There probably is some way they can tell if you've flashed custom roms. This is a developer phone, after all.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaherdin:
I got the latest adb from Google, the smaller package, downloaded the stock image for Nexus 6p, and did the adb-way and flashed all using flash all bat-file instead.

Running stock for the first time in years right now.

But I'm getting shut downs at 14% battery level, so I'm going to contact Huawei and try to get the device replaced somehow...

Nexus 6P is a great device and I'm sad to see it suffer from these battery related issues.

is the problem exist before the flashing or after, did you tried factory reset after flashing ?

Hello everyone, I have some noob questions

1. Are all Nexus 6p having bootloop issue? I got Nexus 6p RMA from huawei in August 2016 and I checked its manufacture date is December 2015. Now, my 6p has been used for a year and I am afraid of getting bootloop?

2. If I unlock the bootloader but leave it unroot, can my 6p still get the official ota? I am considering it so I can apply bootloop fix if bootloop happen.?

Hi all, I need some help figuring out how to find a rouge process / app / or whatever has randomly started gridlocking my phone on startup.

I have been running Stock, Rooted, 6.0, for quite some time. I haven't had any real issues with anything until just the other day. Suddenly upon reboot things just gridlocked and I had to hold down power button until it rebooted. Sure enough, it did it again (gridlocked after startup.) I rebooted again and for some reason it didn't do it the final time. This has proved to be a recurring issue over the past 2 or 3 days.

Troubleshooting I've done thus far:

Wipe cache & dalvik cache

Wait longer after boot

Uninstall a couple apps

Nothing has resolved the issue, so I need suggestions on how to troubleshoot. Thanks!

Notably, I have Quick Reboot installed (WugFresh Nexus Root Toolkit installed it when rooting) and I have tried using the 'Refresh' function, which is supposed to clear the memory. Typically it will tell me that it's cleared ~200 to 800 MB, but if I can get to it before the phone starts locking up and press it, it only tells me it has cleared like 10 to 20 MB. I have no clue what this means, but it may be relevant.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mswal2846:
Note that you need to be stock recovery in order to take the OTA that you'll receive. That means no TWRP. Otherwise, you'll need to flash it yourself.

So I believe I flashed back to stock recovery.

Is the OTA for Oreo out?

When I check system updates it says I'm up to date on 7.1.2

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spaded21:
Is there an Oreo factory image specifically for T-Mobile out or coming out?

If I want to return to stock, I can use the flash-all.bat, correct? And that will be 100% stock including the kernel?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mswal2846:
So you should only take the OTA update if you are on Stock. You may get the OTA alert if you're on a custom rom (some of us have received it on PureNexus rom) but you should only click and install if you are Stock. And I'm not sure all custom roms will get the alert.

I'm not sure what Google's schedule is on getting the update out to everyone.

If you want to go to Oreo, then install Stock on the level of your Custom ROM then either wait for the OTA Update message or install the Oreo files yourself.

I'm going to wait until the developers update PureNexus to v8.0.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaladhjin:
I wanted to wait for PN 8 as well but wouldn't I have to clean flash anyway to update from 7 to 8 regardless of custom or not?

I see the install instructions always talk about flashing vendor images & resetting from the device not TWRP.

I'm current stock rooted with Magisk.

Just flashed stock recovery back over too.

I just want to avoid a bunch of clean flashes so the next one I do will be my setup for awhile.

It's not unusual I haven't gotten the OTA though? Many haven't?

Lastly, the Snapdragon 810 (like the 808) overheats. If you live in a warm climate, work in a warm climate, or recently flashed something, the device will heat up and the big cluster will go offline until the phone cools. Reviews have pointed this out so this is not news.

Not an emergency persay but I just updated to oreo via a modified OTA I found on this forum, and one little issue thats been nagging me is that I have one of those rounded corner apps and it works fine until I pull the quick settings/notification shade down, then the top corners get square again.

Would there be an issue with leaving the original bootloader on the phone?

Ive never updated it and flashed a new radio a couple of hours ago and seem to have run into a problem. Just wondering if the bootloader would cause compatibility issues.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Email the app developer and see if this is an issue due to their lack of full Oreo support. If you're using a theme, that may be causing an issue too.

Yes and no. It won't hurt since you will remain bootloader unlocked. Typically, I update mine every six months or when a new OS is released, whichever is first. I do always update the radio though I live and work in areas where I have not had any issues with nay prior radios.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yatezy:
I updated the radio using FlashFire which I've used before without issue but for some reason the phone is refusing to boot. It's not in a boot loop just stays on the boot screen forever. I can get into TWRP so I'm not too worried. Is there a known issue with flashing radios with FlashFire?
