[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krisbo:
Hey guys,

I'm experiencing much the same issue as some of the guys here earlier and I've tried just about everything I can find online with no luck.

Basically when I start my Nexus 6 it goes straight to fastboot. It doesn't even try and boot Android. The screen says that the device is locked status code 2. If I then try to go into recovery mode, the Android guy on his back disappears and the picture menu items are replaced with text. The screen now says device is unlocked status code 3

If I scroll to bootloader log it says:

"failed to validate recovery image: ret=-1"

Boot up failed

Now, if I scroll to restart bootloader the android guy comes back and the device once again tells me that the device is locked status code 2

I can get it to respond to fastboot commands such as fastboot devices. Fastboot -w seems successful until I get this message:

erasing 'userdata'...

(bootloader) Failed to erase partition

FAILED (remote failure)

finished. total time: 11.117s

I saw a comment here about flashing stock recovery with Nexus Root Toolkit but that didn't wok for me.

Fastboot flashing unlock gives me the OKAY but fastboot oem unlock fails.

Here's what I get when I try to flash stock Android:

RMA is not an option because I bought this one used.

Any ideas?
