No just unlock the bootloader if it is not all ready unlocked. Root is a modification to the boot and or system image which are both scrubbed. You will be complete stock, unrooted and factory reset after applying the factory image.

Figure this is the appropriate place to ask this. If not I apologize.

So I have the latest Dev OTA update. Phone just rebooted while driving and wen to bootloop and I cant fix it. Phone was completely stock.

First I just unlocked the bootloader. Installed TWRP via fastboot. Wiped everything, and installed a new rom. No change, still stuck in bootloop.

Just now downloaded the latest factory image and flashed that via fastboot. (angler-nbd91k-factory-6f206c95). Everything seemed to work, but still won't start.

Help?

This is a common occurrence with the 6P. I'm receiving an RMA in the mail for my replacement. Ever since nougat was released some devices seem to just nuke themselves without any specific reason. Mine was just stuck on the Google logo one day. Couldn't access stock recovery or anything. Completely unmodified too. They seem to know it's an issue because when I called Google and said I can't even access stock recovery they just approved an RMA right away. She said she would just ask me a few troubleshooting questions just to show she covered them. She knew as well as I did it was just a formal procedure and it was not going to change anything. Process was quite painless to be honest.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellfire bro:
My device is in perfect condition. So since I can get in to recovery I thought I could save it and avoid the hassle. But what you are saying is pretty much don't mess with it and just hope I get a RMA

Edit: Ok, so after some searching I don't think I qualify for an RMA through Google (Bought the device 3rd party) or Huawei (I have no receipt)

So basically I currently have a bricked phone and nothing I can do about it?

Goodnight. It's my first time writing in this forum. I have a Nexus 6P for a couple of months and I have been having problems with the LTE connection. I am from Venezuela and I am using the DIGITEL Phone which offers LTE in the 1800Mhz band. In addition to the Nexus 6P I have a Nexus 5 D821 and I am doing comparisons in navigation speed and with the 6P the connection is very slow unlike the Nexus 5 that navigates very fast. I would like to know if any of you have had the same problem and if you have found a solution.

Also, there is currently not yet any security update as a patch (incremental OTA) probably because there are still two branches (beta/non beta). Up to know, security updates come as full OTA that you can sideload. Full OTA and factory images are approximately the same size as they only differ by the size of the compressed sparse image of an empty userdata.img.

Best way to root currently on 7.1.1 dev Preview stock with unlocked bootloader?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sub_Zer0:
Hi, I recently flashed my phone with RR and I'm loving it so far. I have tried customizing it with different sets of mods and themes. So far everything is working great except when I first started I had the pitch black/red theme installed. Absolutely loved the animations it came with. Especially the download indicator I got which kinda looked like an animated pulse rather than the stock animation which is an arrow.

Now I have changed my theme and I like to mix and match different aspects of themes in the theme chooser. I have also searched a lot in the forums to get THAT download indicator animation but can't seem to find any other than the status bar progress bar module. Is there any way I can change the stock arrow animation or am I stuck with it?

I've ran into a strange issue. I've rooted and unrooted many times on my 6P without issue. Typically I run Franco's kernel without root and occasionally root for whatever feature I feel like using that week.

I tried rooting as usual again by flashing the latest SuperSu beta (also tried stable release) in TWRP and I keep getting stuck at the dots screen where it just loops infinitely. I don't recall the first boot ever taking more than 20min. I can get it to boot again by reflagging system.img and boot.img in fastboot. Am I missing something here or would this require a fresh start? I'm on the latest stock release aside from the kernel.

Help with flashing NPF26F

I'm currently on 7.1.1 DP1 (NPF10C) , I'm rooted and have TWRP installed. I got the NPF26F ota update. How can I install this update now? Thanks in advance :)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rchtk:
You'll need a PC with fastboot installed. Either flash bootloader, radio and then all included partitions (but not userdata) or revert to full stock (flash recovery and boot images). You'll get information on this in Heisenberg thread in General.

Or use FlashFire+update radio manually using fastboot.

If you were unencrypted you'll loose your data unless you use FlashFire or before first boot install unencrypted boot image or a not enforcing kernel.

I recommend a PC because flashing all from within the device using FlashFire might be dangerous if bootloader or radio fails to update.

I used the first method and my userdata were encrypted. And they are still there :)

No 4G LTE Network on any SIM

Here's what happened

1. Downloaded the Shortcut Master (Lite) app to open Hidden menu on my Nexus 6p running N 7.1.1 DP2.

2. Opened app -> Secret Code Explorer.

3. opened com.android.hiddenmenu(3282) -> Data settings.

4. Then I selected LTE option -> Edit, service password=000000.

5. Band 26 was disabled so I enabled it, after that the phone rebooted and 4G was gone.

6. I get no network, it shows either No service|Jio 4G or emergency calls only.

Things I tried:

1. disabling the band 26v again.

2. Factory reset.

3. Flashing radio.img and vendor.img

4. completely wiping my phone and installing Factory image.

5. Installing Cortex Rom.

Still I got no luck, I tried other 4G sims but they are only showing 3G network.

I've tried everything I could, if someone could help me on this issue , it will be great.

Hi guys,

I'd appreciate some help here. After experiencing terrible battery life on Nougat, I decided to go back to MM. I did so by flashing bootloader/radio/recovery/system and vendor before installing the factory image (didnt flash userdata)

I've subsequently rooted and installed EX Kernel and have tried various governor profiles (currently Heimdall_6p_v5).

My battery life is still awful though, about 2 hours SOT. I am not having wakelock issues as I've Greenified most known problems and I'm seeing an idle battery drain of around 2% p/h which seems normal.

However with the screen on, I'm seeing drain of around 28-30% p/h so the battery percentage moves down fast. This is on wifi. I'm on about 25% screen brightness, ambient display and auto brightness are off. I have disabled wifi and bluetooth scanning. All I'm doing is simple web browsing and wechat/whatsapp and my battery drains so fast.

Any thoughts?

Flash Nougat Factory image using official method (all partitions AND user data) so backup first and in the setup select do not restore settings, app,..

From there do not install any app. Empty the battery (when it switches off switch it on again in bootloader for example until it really is empty) then full charge before switching on. Now test the battery and compare in airplane/wifi modes screen on/off. If you don't get 4h SOT, battery is degraded and needs to be replaced.

Good luck.

FRP bypass 7.0 - November security patch.

Hey! I have a nexus 6p, FRP on, it's going on Android 7.0 (NBD91K) security patch level november 05. OEM unlock not activated, so bootloader is locked.

All the glitches from RootJunky are now patched

I can connect my devices as 'fastboot' device, which anyway deni about 99% of fastboot commands, I can also make it talk in adb, but side load only, and as hard as I'm trying, the only thing that I can flash via adb is the OTA from Google, and forward only ( not able to downgrade ). I can also get into the settings tabs, but it won't let me turn OEM unlock to 1 , and factory reset now retain the older FRP token.

I have seen some people logging via QuickShortcutMaker , but I just can't get the login from Google account manager.

Well, I'm kinda out of solution, if anyone have a clue, let me know !! :laugh::laugh:
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
I'm really lost as to what your trying to say. But if you want to use fastboot you have to set OEM unlock in developer settings and then actually unlock the bootloader. Root isn't going to do anything for you as far as fastboot goes. You need a custom recovery to flash custom roms or you can use fastboot. But you can't flash a custom recovery unless your bootloader is unlocked. And if you do customise in anyway you need to leave it unlocked until you are back to stock. It's dangerous to use a locked bootloader with anything custom.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aakash dabrase:
Here's what I did.

1. Backup your EFS partition (use proper twrp because some version have fatal bug in it)

2. Wipe your EFS partition , there is a thread in Nexus 6p forum which tells how to do it, basically there are 2 adb commands which wipes it.

3. Flash the radio, vendor images of N 7.1.1 DP2 (I flashed the whole factory image just to make sure everything is stock again)

4. Flash cortex rom and as soon as it booted up, I got 4G LTE signal. :)

Hope this works for you as well.

Note:

1.make sure you backup all your important data on PC in case you mess up somewhere.

2. Also keep your EFS partition on pc in case if wiping EFS wipes your imei.

I am intending to flash the .zip file that includes many of the Pixel features. I have an unlocked bootloader, but no custom recovery or root. If I just intend to flash zip files and make backups, will I need root? Should I just become rooted anyway?

In Heisenberg's unlock/flash/root guide, it says to remove lockscreen security before making a backup. Does this mean I can remove lockscreen security, make a backup, and then put the security back on? Also, do I need to make two separate backups for EFS and for the system?

If via a backup that you made, make sure you made that backup with a TWRP that is NOT -1 or -2. Infact, I would flash the version of TWRP you used to make the 6.0 backup prior to the restore (and, again, make sure not twrp-3.0.2-1-angler.img or twrp-3.0.2-2-angler.img)

If via factory images, I think you'll need to be careful about the data. It will be at the 7.1.x level and you'll want to begin using it at the 6.x level. You may be forced to wipe that data before going back.
