[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoistPicklez:
Sorry I hope I didn't sound disrespectful just slightly confused haha to be honest I've had the Nexus 4, 5, and 6P. I haven't ran into too many issues with Nexus devices ever at all, and I've been very careful on what I flash so I'm baffled completely here. Maybe a lemon?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tr4nqui1i7y:
Most likely not. It's usually just a tiny step not being %100 accurate.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoistPicklez:
Last night the notification light was blinking red constantly but after a little while I got it into bootloader mode and left it charging just to make sure I could do some troubleshooting today not sure if that's any useful information at all but haven't seen the blinking red light since last night.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tr4nqui1i7y:
As long as you're boot looping, it's better than a black screen.

When the screen is totally blank, can you hold power and volume down to get to the bootloader
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoistPicklez:
Yes I can. Bootloader mode / No power / Bootloop is all I got at the moment..
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tr4nqui1i7y:
Did wugs allow twrp to boot
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoistPicklez:
Nope just straight back into the same bootloop. Warning screen > Google Logo then repeat.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tr4nqui1i7y:
When you did the advanced tools, to boot into recovery, not flash it
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoistPicklez:
Yep, just a bootloop sadly. Tried the other way too. No dice. Not sure if this device can even be saved.

A Huawei rep told me to bring it to a local shop and have it fixed. I asked, "what can they do?" He replied "They can flash the stock firmware and resolve the issue."

Well if I can't with the help of the great XDA Overminds, then I might just have a lemon on my hands.. Not sure though, just hope I can somehow save this device.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istperson:
I think the NAND went to fritz.

If you can't flash anything to the recovery partition then either the partition table is busted or it's a hardware failure.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamaniek:
Pretty much exactly the same story. Same RAM and EMMC, same ROM. Can't figure it out :(
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoistPicklez:
Darn dude, sorry for your loss. If I come across something that works I will definitely let you know.

(Slim chance here, but maybe the next factory image will sort us both out, till then I'll attempt to get this sorted out any way I can..)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamaniek:
Funny thing is, it worked in the morning. Everything got screwed up after flashing NBD90X stock image.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoistPicklez:
Yeah same here, NBD90X is what got me I think. Not sure what exactly the issue is, but with absolutely no chance of entering Recovery, that really slims our chance of recovering our 6P's. I really hope the next factory image solves this somewhat. Otherwise we have a $700.00 paperweight..

[MENTION=4126538]jamaniek[/MENTION] Please tag me in a post here if you come across some sort of fix at all. Cheers!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RicardoSul:
I'm waiting for the next factory image, I've tried everything, but all without success.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoistPicklez:
So you are also in the same boat? Well I shall tag you too if I come across any sort of fix. I'll keep troubleshooting throughout the day and see what I can accomplish.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RicardoSul:
Ok thank you. My history:
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedInuYasha:
I'm in the same boat as you guys...Flashed Pure Nexus on NBD90X and starting having freezing issues. Then suddenly bootloop and recovery won't boot.

I've been using Wugg's Nexus Toolkit and it hasn't got me out of it yet. Thinking I might have to try and get my phone exchanged with my carrier. I don't have insurance on it though but I was told that I might be covered by the manufacturer warranty. Any thoughts? Think I'll have any luck with that?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamaniek:
Damn, seems like Google seriously f***ed something up.

EDIT: I've had freezing issues too.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jammol:
Please send me a PM with info on the last thing you did right before it started to bootloop.

Lol@ my Tapatalk going off from mentions. I feel loved.??
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BIGSAMDA1ST:
Same boat as the rest. I was on stock rooted NRD90U. My procedure was to download the newest firmware NBD90X, Oct 2016 and flash it via FlashFire. Everything was running smooth for about two weeks until about a few days ago. While on YouTube the phone decided to freeze then reboot and the rest is history. I've tried everything and it's mother to get this phone back to working order with no success. I've downloaded the factory images from Google site and flashed them manually no good. I've tried Wugs toolkit no good. I've tried different images no good. Problem is that everything says that it flashes ok with no errors but upon rebooting it just goes back to boot looping. Also can't boot into stock recovery although it says that it flashed ok. I finally gave up, so I flashed stock NBD90X from toolkit, relocked bootloader contacted Huawei. Had a good rep which I told them I took the update and the phone got borked after it. He sent me a label so that I can ship my device back to them and told me that once they receive it that it'll take five to ten days for them to send me a replacement. Let's see if that's the case or if they send back my borked device. Fingers crossed..
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedInuYasha:
I handed mine over to my carrier to fix..Fingers crossed that they can fix it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoistPicklez:
No success tonight, but gonna mess around till the beers all gone.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaGr81:
My phone bricked after the OCT 5 OTA. NBD90X screwed up everyone. What a nightmare!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamaniek:
When you get it back, let us know what they did with it. Maybe it'll be helpful in some way.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tr4nqui1i7y:
The users that bricked on nougat

If you've already ran the adb commands I posted, and flashed everything in fastboot, you might have to wipe data too.

It's unfortunate, but it's better than a bricked device
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istperson:
What I don't get is not booting into recovery. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems somehow Google borked the recovery partition. I read more and more phones suddenly rebooting then no recovery anymore, not just boot-looping system. The last time I've seen something like this was when my daughter's Galaxy S II breathed its last breath and the NAND died peacefully. Well boot-looping, but peacefully.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoistPicklez:
I think you're right on the money. A bootloop is no big deal as long as I can get into Recovery, but now that my Recovery partition is messed right up, I can't bring this device back to life. Dammit Google! November's security update better rectify this!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedInuYasha:
I asked them when I handed the phone over and they would only tell me that they "Just reload our default software on it".

Update: Was told the phone has to be sent out to their warehouse. Not sounding too good.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmiyar:
So I was using my 6P when it suddenly froze. It started rebooting and the boot animation would froze and start over

I tried to get into recovery but it never did. Now it doesn't do anything

Windows detects it as QHSUSB_BULK

It was stock image updated to Oct 2016 path

I was using the beta program

Anything I can do to get to recovery? :confused:
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istperson:
Okay, this starts to look like a class action act....

So, did you all try to flash or boot recovery and nothing?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamaniek:
Yep. Flashing recovery, trying to boot it (even temporary one on NRT). Nothing.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoistPicklez:
Yep, flashing a recovery and booting into it does nothing at all but bootloop. I definitely think the Oct update was the culprit here.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RicardoSul:
Someone tried to install android 7.1?

https://developer.android.com/preview/download.html#device-preview
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoistPicklez:
I'd try, but I can't get into TWRP, stock Recovery, or get ADB working to sideload and flash. Is there a way to get the 7.1 beta factory image somehow?

Edit: NVM I need to read. Gonna give it a go just for ****s and giggles.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RicardoSul:
Same thing in 7.1 beta factory image :(
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamaniek:
Yep. No change :(
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istperson:
So any of you who has unlocked bootloader and not working recovery, did you try

fastboot erase recovery or fastboot format recovery before fastboot flash recovery <name>.img?

If the partition table is corrupted, then these should give errors.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamaniek:
Format command should not work AFAIK, but "erase" comes through. That's the thing. Any fastboot cammand works as it should, but the final result is the same- phone not booting up.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RicardoSul:
Yep, Same here.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxy s4 nutjob:
Same thing happened to me could not figure it out locked the bootloader and RMA'd it back to Huawei whole process took 3 weeks
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlosfurlong:
I´m using NBD90X stock, bootloader unlock, no root, stock recovery

What could i do if i just want to be safe about this issue?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BIGSAMDA1ST:
Did they send you a refurbished or new device? And was it on 6.0 or 7.0 when you received it? I'm asking because I sent mine in a few days ago, and was wondering if they were going to send a refurb or a new one.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxy s4 nutjob:
I believe it is refurb running 7.0
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BIGSAMDA1ST:
Ok thanks. Let's hope that these replacements are good to go, would hate to go through this ordeal again.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamaniek:
I don't think you can do anything, since nobody knows whyit happens. It will just happen or it won't (more likely).
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlosfurlong:
Im afraid about flash NRD90U it could be a solution or a death warrant, here in my country we dont have warranty :(
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Downisthenewup:
I was running NDB90X, unlocked, rooted with Franco kernel - upgraded to 7.1.1 Beta OTA today - failed via flashfire, so I backed up and flashed via TWRP (not sure what version).

Booted up fine - except lost root. Was fine for a few hours, but wanted root back, entered TWRP, flashed NDB90X and latest Superuser.

Bootloops

I can still get to bootloader screen and into Recovery. Have made sure im on TWRP 3.0.2.2

I have tried loading past backups, i have factory reset, i have used Nexus Root Toolkit (which seemed to go well until the "no devices/emulators found" error.

I have tried older factory images, i have tried custom ROMs.

Seems like most cant boot into recovery?

Is my problem different? Any ideas - (working through 1-21)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jammol:
If you can get into recovery you need to run the adb commands for fixing your eggs and see if that is the issue for you.

Funny if Google is bonking 6P to force us to buy pixel, lol. Conspiracy!!!!?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RicardoSul:
Apparently Nexus 5X also had the same problem and can be solved flashing TOT file.

This post have more details: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x/help/tutorial-how-unbricked-nexus-5x-16gb-t3481766

I think we need some similar solution to the Nexus 6P.

Does anyone have any ideas?? :D
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoistPicklez:
Aren't those TOT files just for LG devices?

Really hope there will be some sort of fix, been pushing a week with a dead 6P on my desk in bootloader mode, weighing down my papers. I definitely won't be getting a Pixel if Google doesn't somehow rectify these horrendous bootloops. Not cool Google.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Downisthenewup:
I had previously run the abd commands but had no luck

I did the following.

factory reset through recovery

pushed twrp 3.0.2.0 through adb

ran adb commands while booted in twrp 3.0.2.0

reboot recovery

install vendor image / pure nexus 7.0 / pure nexus gapps

rebooted - success!!

im not sure if my situation was exactly the same as others, but thank you for your help.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jammol:
You are running the wrong TWRP for being on Android N. You need to be on 3.0.2-2 or 3.0.2-3(unofficial)

Edit: What I mean by wrong is, you can run into encryption issues using 2-0 with Android N.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Downisthenewup:
upgrade to 3.0.2-3

thanks.

getting google play services errors but doesnt even seem like an issue compared to what I thought i was facing earlier! Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedInuYasha:
That's exactly how I feel. I haven't had my 6P because I sent it to my carrier. Been using a loaner phone (HTC One V...Ew). I really hope something comes of all this...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoistPicklez:
Yikes, but at least it's a temporary phone for the time being! Google was definitely my favorite company up until all these issues sporadically occurred with my Nexus 6P. I've had several Nexus devices and never had a brick in all my years on Android. (I did brick my first droid though - Galaxy Note SGH-i717.)

The only way I can see these phones getting fixed is if somehow the next factory image has a specific fix for these bootloops and being unable to boot into Recovery. Sadly I don't see a fix coming as Google is full swing into their new Pixel phones - seems like Angler and Bullhead aren't Google's top priority at all even with all these bootloops and paperweights.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedInuYasha:
Same here! HTC Hero, HTC Desire HD, Galaxy S4 + S5, and now N6P. And never bricked any until this issue.

Sadly, I think you're right about this and I don't believe Google will put out a fix for it. That's why I'm starting to prepare myself to have to buy a new N6P. But I'm even wondering if I should bother doing that, since the next one can possibly brick too! :(
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoistPicklez:
I actually ended up with an LG G5, which is a very nice device, but no root at all for my variant. Gonna mess with my 6P some more tonight and if I make any progress I'll let you know. There's gotta be something we can do to save our 6P's!

So your also stuck with a bootloop and only bootloader mode available right?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatiasLopezxD:
In my case, fix the bootloop doing this:

- flash twrp-3.0.2-3-angler recovery in fastboot

- reboot in recovery

- Full wipe

- flash system, vendor and boot (Nougat)

- Plug-in pc

- disable and enable MTP

- Download and unzip Bootloop.zip *script made by me ?* https://mega.nz/#!IIMASTyA!55D4lZQMH6_4bjKGeHx90apj5uwVMlMBVPTMR4_b76U

- run fix.bat

- reboot system

- (?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedInuYasha:
Thanks, man! Keep me posted!! :)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoistPicklez:
That would be awesome however some of us here can't even make it into Recovery, so I doubt this is gonna help. Thanks though! :)

Well no such luck tonight, gonna keep messing around for a while though.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedInuYasha:
Oh and to answer your question from earlier: Yes, my N6P only had Bootloader available. Couldn't get to recovery or anything.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaGr81:
you mean twrp-3.0.2-2? i cant see 3.0.2-3 in their official site.

and you are flashing nougat's system, vendor and boot img via twrp?

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] out of my element:
Nexus 6P bootloop

I had a similar issue as some recent posters; I was using my phone normally when it froze and went in to a bootloop cycle. I was running a rooted 7.0 NBD90X and had downloaded the new 7.1 to flash but hadn't had a chance to yet. I also am not able to get into my custom recovery or use Wug's tool to boot into it.

I have been able to boot into stock recovery though after reflashing NRD90T. Is there anything I can do within stock recovery to fix this bootloop? I can access ADB sideload but can't open up ADB Shell commands since it's the stock recovery.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czaplin:
This is exactly my case. I was on the latest PN, browsing Chrome yesterday. Then phone suddenly restarted and I'm stuck in the bootloop. I've tried all solutions I could find and nothing worked for me. Luckily, I still have a warranty.

---------- Post added at 09:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------

Same case here. I bought mine in Best Buy. I guess it won't be so easy like dealing with Google.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BIGSAMDA1ST:
As long as it's within its year warranty just call Huawei and tell them. Just call and tell them and that you're phone is stuck powering on and off and it that it happened after the update. Mine went into a boot loop last week as well. I was able to use fastboot to restore phone to stock and lock bootloader using Wugs toolkit. I already received an email telling me that my phone was under the year warranty and that they will try and fix it or send a replacement. Also don't even mention that you bought it at Best Buy. He didn't even ask so I didn't volunteer.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoistPicklez:
Took your advice and called, now I just gotta ship them my phone. Anyone know if the info like SN and IMEI needs to be written on the box I send it in, or just on paper inside the 6P's box?

By the way thanks very much! Forget waiting on Google for a fix.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BIGSAMDA1ST:
I didn't write it anywhere. I just printed the label they sent me, wrapped the phone up threw it in the box, placed the label on the box and sealed it up nice and tight.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czaplin:
Cool. I'm calling them tomorrow.

I contacted cs on Twitter today, and they replied:

Hello, we're sorry to hear that you are having issues with your 6P. So that we can troubleshoot your device, please give our customer support a call at 888-548-2934. As long as your phone has not been rooted and does not have any liquid/physical damage we would be happy to assist you. (DM)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vishal90:
I'm having the same issue. I requested an RMA, so I should be getting a new phone. I am afraid that once I do, something similar could happen.

At first I could not even get into recovery, but after first erasing system, boot, cache and recovery then flashing them via fastboot I can access recovery only if I boot to bootloader and press recovery mode. Even though I can access recovery using this method, I cannot reboot into bootloader or recovery from twrp itself. I'm not sure what the difference is in calling recovery from bootloader vs calling recovery from recovery itself.

Now that I access to recovery, I still can't fix the bootloop. I have tried going full stock (without formating userdata), the adb shell commands from before (which writes about 4mb but also says there is no space on the device), installing custom MM and N roms and most of the methods described in post 2 that did not involve erasing user data. I did notice that if I try to install a custom rom, the twrp crashes and bootloops when twrp is writing to system. It seems like boot, system and recovery partitions are all messed up.

Same!! Except I was literally just playing music and it got stuck in a loop, exactly like yours. Locked bootloader and everything. How long did it take to get a new phone? I'm still under warranty for 2 months and would like to get a new one.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoistPicklez:
So most people whom have had this issue recently, had it on NBD90X right?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BIGSAMDA1ST:
I was on NBD90X. What sucks though is that there is still no fix for this. Although mine is still at Huawei ,who's to say that this won't happen to the replacement they send?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedInuYasha:
I'm curious as to if I can send mine to Huawei, since I'm in Canada...

I'm also kind of scared to get another N6P though. What if my /next/ one bootloops on a random update? Then what?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BIGSAMDA1ST:
Well I think if you call Huawei they will have you ship it to a repair center out in Canada. The first thing they ask me when I call was if I was in the USA.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoistPicklez:
I'm also in Canada and had to send it to a Huawei sister branch in Ontario. I'm also scared about future updates, especially considering even totally stock this phone has a chance with bricking after another update.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedInuYasha:
Did you buy your N6P through Google? I bought mine through Bell so I'm not sure if I can even send it to Huawei. Or maybe Bell will do that for me??
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoistPicklez:
Best Buy actually. I bought the thing outright and contacted Google first then Huawei after the sudden death.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czaplin:
I will call Huawei on Monday. Once I'll get a replacement, I'll list it on Swappa right away. This is ridiculous. I had LG G4 before, never boot looped.

I'm considering selling the replacement and buying OP3. But I'll have to see if the issue persists after next update.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istperson:
It looks like the kernel in the update is buggy and it's corrupting the NAND that can't be fixed without debug hardware. Samsung did the same with the Galaxy S II back in its day.

Somebody has a dead phone but still on Marshmallow.

I'm starting to fear it's a faulty NAND that just dies after a year. Maybe we should compare who has which:

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BIGSAMDA1ST:
Actually there are many different causes I believe. In my case I was already rooted and actually went into the boot loop of death while watching a YouTube video, although a week before I had upgraded to NBD90X from 9OU via FlashFire.
