I just tried adb shell rm -r to clear up my system. There were a lot of residual files with permissions that wouldn't allow TWRP to erase them. Thinking maybe this should help. I'll let you know!

Factory image solves this problem on Nexus 5X? :confused:

Nexus 5X has available 7.0.0 (NRD90M) factory image. I saw in this thread people with similar problems on his Nexus 5X. That's why I'm asking :p

Damnit. Guess can only hope.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avivasaf:
So finally solved the problem!!! Yesss

Got backup from my friend, you need this!

Format userdata

Flash twrp

Make any backup

Move the good backup to the file backup

Restore it

Flash any Mm rom(i flashed cm13)

Fastboot flash mm bootloader, radio, vendor

And you got it!!!!

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pa.pn2:
ill upload my pure nexus backup into my dropbox for you.what shall i delete to share it in public?efs and data?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juzman:
Awesome! Cannot wait to get this phone sorted
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pa.pn2:
i wont share my efs and data backup

1. Flash a stock image (I used the August stock image MTC20F)

2. Fastboot flash TWRP 3.0.2-0

3. Boot into TWRP

4. Select Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> Select and repair each partition individually (some won't be able to, and that's fine, just move on to the next one)

5. Restore a full nandroid backup (make sure everything is selected) and reboot

6. You should now be free of the never ending boots, and if your device is bootlooped at this point (stuck at the boot animation), you can just flash stock again.

here you go

I'm not sure what your post is asking. I know of the N7000 brick. I was referring to Nexus devices.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ericarthurc:
Hey have anyone tried contacting Google support with this problem? There seems to be enough people suffering from this to make it a big deal. I honestly don't know if google has any knowledge of the problem or if they even care, but I will try to email them today and maybe get a hold of someone who cares. It could be as simple as them fixing a vendor problem or just waiting for the factory image to come out. Just wondering if anyone has come to them with this???
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DontPushButtons:
Just to ease these and anyone else's concerns contacting Huawei, I contacted them on Friday. They are aware of that this is happening, and it is covered* by their warranty. You'll have to send it in to a service center, but* they provided me a shipping label and will send it back at no cost.

Your experiences may vary, but I didn't have to get clever or wordy with them at all. They were very helpful.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeyddr:
they told me because i sideloaded it I voided my warranty
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vacaloca:
You are *amazing*. I had just about given hope and then I saw this thread and realized I had not tried using TWRP 3.0.2-0 since I tried the upgrade to Nougat and bricked like others in this thread after restoring a 6.0.1 backup. Thankfully, I had a full backup including EFS of MTC19X that I made before the upgrade. After step 5, it booted to the google animation, but did not proceed, so I flashed MTC19X on top, and then it booted back up normally!!!

TL;DR: Followed these steps and I was good!!! Nexus 6P is alive again! :)

Honestly, if I could send beer (or your favorite adult drink) your way I would. xD
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AmyClaraRose:
without the efs and data could you upload your backup to like mega so i can give this a try pls
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vacaloca:
Here's the mega link:

https://mega.nz/#F!rc9DiKaY!092dfwpdGOBYU6ZUGEfZvA

Note that I had systemless xposed and was rooted, on this backup so you will probably have to re-flash stock 6.0.1 MTC19X using the flash-all.bat (wiping data) like I did to get past the android colored animation after flashing this.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciocu:
I gave up on trying to flash my 6P for nothing. So, just couple of hours ago I spoke with someone from Google Support on the phone, they agreed to send me a replacement 6P, and they mailed me the "free shipping" labels for my dead 6P :eek:

Try to call them (or, to request to be called by them), instead of trying to reach to them by email.. it might just be more effective..

I actually already got a replacement phone last week! Thanks for the help though!

I was more asking if anyone has brought this issue of the bootloop to googles attention. Maybe one of us could give google important information on the issue. It could very well be a bug in the new images or vendor image.

Useful to note that one can chat Amazon and request a return if not too far past the 30-day window if purchased from them and they will usually grant it as a one-time exception if you plead your case. Unfortunately, even when granted this exception, it was not useful for me given that I had purchased mine with the prime day discount and they would not do an exchange and only a return, so I would be out the discount if I did that. Had started an RMA with Huawei, but thankfully won't have to do that after all. :)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AmyClaraRose:
thanks for upload but it didnt work for me not sure if it was because i flashed mtc20f first ill try again after with the mtc19x factory image

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vacaloca:
Did both of you use TWRP 3.0.2-0 ? https://dl.twrp.me/angler/twrp-3.0.2-0-angler.img.html (link assumes you're both using a 6P)

I did not try with 3.0.2-1, because I suspected the problem might have been restoring the backup made with the earlier version (TWRP 3.0.2-0) with the new version that works on Nougat (TWRP 3.0.2-1), but I can't confirm that... all I know is what worked for me. :/

After I managed to boot and start fresh, I restored the previous data I had on the latest August patched image, removed the lockscreen pin files to be able to get into the O/S, rooted with the latest SuperSU beta, and once I did that it stopped complaining about device corruption (red) on the boot screen that started happening when I dirty flashed the /data partition from the earlier backup.

I am also in the same boat. Nothing is working for me. Tried all the solutions mentioned in the thread. I got my 6P from a friend and he has not proof of purchase. Looks like I am ducked. Probably need to wait for Google to release Nougat Factory images. Or use my phone as a paper weight. :P

What happens if you try to flash any Marshmallow ROM after you have android pod? Does it work?

Have you tried any Nougat custom ROMs those are floating around?

EDIT - I managed to get my phone on with M vendor image. As expected no camera and no mobile network. The phone ran out of battery, so I have kept it for charging and have M custom ROM GApps handy. Will try to flash when I have decent battery in the phone and report back.

If anyone has had success in flashing marshmallow ROMs on phone recovered with N DP5 (with M Vendor) with latest TWRP, please leave a comment. Or else, I will chime in when I have tried it.

Oh Hey Master.. Long time, no see. :)

Not related to your question obviously..

I, like may others, are going crazy figuring out what is happening with Nougat. I believe we should wait for Google to push factory images.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
It should be under warranty regardless

Yup. Should be under warranty. Only if I can get hold of my friend and ask that ass to do the claim for me.

Anyways, i have the phone on now. Without camera and mobile network of course. I will try and flash a Marshmallow custom ROM to see if that helps me get my phone back. Till then, I am back to my trusted Nexus 5.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Badger50:
Have any of you well versed android gurus figured out what's causing all of these boot loops? I myself got into trouble when I tried to restore my stock-rooted nougat rom while I was already on a custom nougat rom? Is TWRP 3.0.2-1 the culprit. Or possibly something in the vendor or system files. Like most of you, I've never had any problems in the past with restoring backups with TWRP. Hopefully someone with many more brains than I can figure this one out before my next 6p arrives this week. Thanks to all the great people in the community for attempting to sort this one out :thumbup:

Hey, got busy with personal stuff. Thought of bringing Minimal N for angler and then this happens. Huawei apparently won't fix it under warranty just because my phone has a crack on the outer glass which is not related to the problem at all.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jammol:
"phone got so hot trying to boot and then all of a sudden, crack!" Yeah I would totally go there with them. Where did you purchase the device? There has been one report of Google warranting a 6P that was purchased to the Play Store.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CallMeAldy:
Too bad that I had no option but to purchase it from an online retailer here in India and the Huawei call centre guys themselves don't know if the phone is out of warranty or in warranty. Every alternate guy would say it's out of warranty. Getting your phone fixed under warranty is a pain here. They find all sorts of ways to void the warranty.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indian84:
Ohh. That's unfortunate. Would have loved Minimal OS for Angler. I believe all should be OK when we have official Nougat factory images.

---------- Post added at 05:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 AM ----------

Well technically, it's not official Nougat, that's why only beta subscribers are getting it. Then again you can say that was part of the agreement that they would get the latest software first.

How big was the OTA?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CallMeAldy:
Strange part is that they're asking me to get my display fixed out of warranty from them and apparently that will put my phone back in warranty. Whole LCD assembly costs around $230 and they want me to replace the whole assembly even though it's just the outer glass that's cracked.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BakedTator:
The OTA was 1.1 GB in size

I side loaded mine
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indian84:
An update.

After I got my phone on and running without mobile network and camera, with N DP5 and MTC20F vendor, I flashed TWRP and tried flashing a Marshmallow custom ROM, and I got boot loop. Same as before. Google Log and warning about unlocked bootloader. I will try to get the phone up again with N DP 5 and try Nougat custom ROMs floating around. There is also a unofficial Nougat Vendor on XDA. Will use that too. Hopefully Google should get their act together quickly and give us Nougat factory images soo.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbutandola01:
I nearly ran into the same issue but thankfully I decided to do a quick search first and found out that going back to MM was causing issues. Have you guys tried flashing the penultimate factory image? I.e MTC19X. I've read somewhere that you could manage to get your phone running again. The issue might be coming from 20F.

It's a task to get manufacturers to listen to you. Forget about solving the problem you face.

I just hope that they push factory images quickly. I am guessing they will come with September security patches. So probably 1st week of Sep..
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forty9er49221:
To get back to MM from N, I did the following:

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barturblits:
In worst case scenario you can still dd a complete image back in qualcomm mode. You need a complete dd image for this from a manual raw image backup. If you did not did make a sich a dd backup you can use someone else his backup and additionally restore your own efs backup. This is mostly used when you accidentally wiped your bootloader or have a corrupt partition table and a hard brick.

But this is last resort, this problem should be easier to fix.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CallMeAldy:
Literally no one would provide the dd image since it would contain their efs but nevertheless if someone ever decides to do it then I guess the devices would be fixed.
