[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Balino:
I'm having the same problem of some of you. I was running 7.1.1 dp1 and when I was using my device it just shut down and started to bootloop.

Having an unlocked bootloader I tried to flash 2 different factory images but no luck, it just stuck at google splash screen and reboot by itself.

I can access bootloader but can't get past this google logo, and can't access recovery at all ( stock and twrp)

This device really sucks when it comes to bricks, there are more than any device out there, and for no reason!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istperson:
No, it's not root or unlocking or even roms. It's simply updating to anything, like the next mm security patch or OTA to 7.0. So living in fear won't accoplish anything, there seem to be some foulty units, that's all.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bball606:
What a nightmare. Just make sure you do NOT mention anything about unlocking your bootloader or flashing anything to Huawei support. Apparently, unlocking and flashing the factory image voids Huawei warranty and I was told to go **** myself. Google rep was astonished by this but couldn't do anything because I didn't buy from Play Store. Had to call from a different number and pretend I was someone else to get them to offer a repair which will take 2 weeks. What a joke.

I flashed it hoping it could fix the bootlooping issue, but not. Same thing.

Can someone who RMA'd the device in the US tell me the address that you shipped it to? I will RMA mine from Brazil but they still didn't inform me the address, they mentioned the repair center is in Texas. Can someone confirm this please? I want to ship the device still today but haven't got an address.

Edit: nevermind, they replied today.

Right before my Stock Nougat (nov) 6P rebooted itself and went into the google logo boot loop, it froze for a while and produced a google crash report, which fortunately I have within the drafts of my inbox. Could this contain any useful information about the issue?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rchtk:
Yes you should send it to Google. Posting here might be a bad idea as it could contain sensitive data.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisgil:
Don't google pretty much know what the issue is? When I called support earlier, they didn't even both troubleshooting, just sent me a new 6P instantly.

Weirdly, the guy did mention something "unofficially" about tapping on the power button or somesuch, but I don't see how that can help and he stated that I shouldn't consider that official Google advice.

Anyhow, it seemed to me that they are aware of the issue, but aren't sharing what the cause is.

AFAIK, nobody has got a fcking clue until now. Could be a hardware fault on some series...

Okay, so I managed to get my phone to bootup again. As with others on here, there doesn't seem to be any logic to this, so I'll just list everything I did in the hope that it might help someone.

1 - I had flashed the original stock factory 7.0 image - I did this via fastboot flashing each section, with the exception of userdata as I didn't want to lose any information

2 - I allowed the device to run down entirely through boot looping

3 - I connected the device to the original charger

4 - The device powered up and went straight to bootloop. I went to the bootloader menu and selected power down

5 - I then left the house for the evening (3 hours approximately) and left the 6P connected to the charger

6 - When I returned, the phone had booted, notifications were coming in from messages etc - business as usual

I'm trying to backup things as quickly as possible as my Google replacement is on the way. So far, I've been able to install TWRP and root it. It hasn't bootlooped through 2 reboots. Currently running a full titanium on it whilst it is still up :)

I'm not quite sure why it was switched on when I got home - I had definitely selected power off from the bootloader menu. Battery level is at 100% though - I'm starting to think battery has a lot to do with this, particularly as the day before this whole thing happened, the phone powered itself off without warning at 34%.

So I just ran into this for the Nexus 5X but since it's a similar issue I'd figure I share it here, as I myself fell victim to this bootloop issue on my 6P.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisgil:
I'm not sure if this is useful to anyone, but I am throwing up a quick update to my bootloop experiences to date, along with a pat on the back for Google Support.

Last Wednesday, Google sent a brand new sealed device straight out to me. It arrived within 24 hours and it's completely free as long as I return my original 6P (which was already 13 months old) within 14 days.

I installed all OTAs on the replacement device to take it to 7.0 November. Ran a lot faster than the faulty device, battery lasts about twice as long, visibly snappier etc etc. However - today it randomly rebooted and got stuck in a three or four time bootloop before booting.

I called Google support who told me that this was not necessarily anything to worry about and to monitor it. They also told me not to forget that when I received the replacement device, my warranty reset, so I have another TWO years of warranty. If this is true, that's pretty stellar customer service from Google.

So - if anyone purchased their 6P from Google UK, not only are they providing a 2 year warranty with brand new replacement devices, but they also reset this warranty when you receive a replacement.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rchtk:
Random reboot not to worry about. Well....

Was is during or just after installation? That's weird. Were you doing anything special? Bad network connection?

Unfortunately you'd need to root the device to know what happened. In bootloader mode can you check which emmc you have?

What's interesting is the time that you had the device: around a year like others experiencing similar problems.

Nice of Google regarding warranty, legally in Europe at best they only needed to extend the warranty of the number of days you didn't have the device, if it's more than a week. So 24h wouldn't even qualify for an extension.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamaniek:
Ok, my 6P has been shipped. I checked device's status today and I found out that Huawei replaced the whole motherboard. So I guess there's no other way around it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sman999:
This happened to me today. My nexus was on android 7.1.1 NMF26F. It was running good for a day. Today as i unlocked the phone it rebooted and got stuck in boot loop. No luck though. The bootloader is unlocked & download mode is enabled. Tried flashing via NRT, fastboot, adb sideload. No luck. At times i can boot into stock recovery too. Tried factory reset, wipe data nothing happened. Just plugged it in charger and left it alone for now hoping to see the home screen. :(
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BIGSAMDA1ST:
This really sucks. I updated to the latest 7.1.1 build two days ago by side loading the ota. I'm actually running it stock at the moment want to see how long it goes before it decides to give up on me. Also this is a replacement that I received Nov, 1 ,2016 as my first device fell victim to this bootloop issue.

I only remember that it was the 5x and Google admitted to screwing it up.

And no, my phone worked perfectly so far, so no bootloops. I mean unless "self-inflected" of course.

And I haven't updated to the final 7.1.1 yet.

I recently bought nexus 6p for a very steep price. I am scared ****less to upgrade to 7.1.1 because of these issues people are reporting and since in my country, you cant even claim warranty, you will just have a lemon at your hand. That's why I am going through all of these threads.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jammol:
You have a lot of questions....nothing wrong with that, more people should be like you on XDA!!!

Efs is what stores your device info in relation to getting cell service. IMEI, serial numbers for each chip, Mac addresses for each type of network chip, etc. Based on the bootloop in, it might even deal with hardware matchup in terms of those serial numbers and Mac addresses? Not sure on that one.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fapste:
I am very scared because of the bootloop thing. I have recently bought a Nexus 6p for $450. It's a steep price for me cuz I am not like the rich kids who buy phones every year. And I can barely afford a $350 phone (being student is hard lol ).

Should I be worried about these bootloop issues? Should I stay away from updating to 7.1.1, I am currently on PureNexus 6.0.1 running Elementalx?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jammol:
Honestly I don't think you should be scared, but I do think you should be cautious when flashing things. 7.1.1 is fine and I really doubt it's causing any issues with devices directly. Now that's not to say that I know for a fact it isn't, but for vast majority of people who own the 6P, there should be a heck of a lot more people with the very same issue. I'll go as far as saying if it is 7.1.1 that's causing issues, EVERYONE on 7.1.1 should be having the same issues. As far as the people who find themselves with the issues, I think it's because of laziness in terms of flashing things properly. I am guilty of it as well. I don't even have a backup of my original device, even though we should all have a backup of at least the stock Rom for TWRP restoration.

This of course doesn't count towards EVERYONE because there are people who have had bootloops without ever unlocking the bootloader before on their device. Example of that would have been my wife's Nexus 5X. Completely stock, no modification or change in any way and her device began shutting off and bootlooping like crazy. Those are the exception and I would have to say it's a hardware issue which hers apparently was because Google replaced it with no questions asked.

How did you purchase your 6P?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fapste:
I purchased off of Amazon when my friend visited US. It costs like $600 in my country. I didn't make a stock image backup either. But after stock firmware, I just flashed PureNexus 6.0.1 and elemental x. I have TWRP 3.0.2-0. should I make a Backup Now? What things should I backup in TWRP?

Have you installed 7.1.1?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istperson:
Bought it with 6.0.1, unlocked it, flashed to 7.0, 7.1.1 DP, and now it's 7.1.1 final.

ow damn , guys how are you bricking your phones ?

i want to be careful from now on i guess :l

i have the latest twrp installed , and i usually am on the latest radio/bootolader always.

regardless of whether i am on a MM rom or a Nougat Rom.

the only thing i always do is only flashing the vendor img that the rom requires and i always clean flash.

and this way i am never getting my phone bricked i hope?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rchtk:
Don't think so as we've seen people stock and never unlocked who ran into the problem.

One should have a 2 y warranty maybe for this phone through normal or extended warranty. I also wonder what's the proportion of failure for +1y used phones.

Hey guys, Im a little new to all this and in desperate need of some help, I've tried a bunch of things but I'm really not sure what I'm doing.

Essentially I bought this Nexus 6p used with 7.1.1 beta I believe, I used magisk, supersu and rooted it and everything was going good for the past few months. Unfortunately I accidentally installed the official update today, lo and behold the google just stays stuck.

Now I have twrp, but I cannot for the life of me get my device to become an adb device. When I disable MTP I get Google Nexus ADB Interface, but when I enable it I get a yellow error Nexus 6p device. At this point I'm unsure if my drivers have been installed correctly, or not. The methods I have seen all require an image inside your phone or something, so if I'm unable to access my files, how do I complete the methods mentioned above?

Would greatly appreciate some explain like im five suggestions.

Thank you!

eMMC: 32GB Sammy

DRAM: 3072MB LPDDR4

Console: NULL

Battery: OK

Device is LOCKED

QFuse Status: Enabled

Off-mode-charge: Enabled

Download Mode: Disabled

Briefly: Last night I was on the phone with my wife and kids and we were chatting. Phone was about 50% charge I'd say. As I was talking, the phone reset and has been on a continuous bootloop ever since. I put it to charge and let it alone and just emailed the ol lady from the PC. On this device I never did any thing, I've kept it stock throughout.

Since the bootloader is locked and nothing seems to be working, frustration is setting in. I won't be back in the states for another month :/

Anyways, the only thing that had "seemed" to work was a pdf I found "Applying a Rescue OTA to a Nexus 5X." I followed the guide to a T and just ensured I was downloading the Angler zip files. At the point in which I am doing an ADB Sideload C: xxxxx; everything is going smoothly - at first I think progress and I can rest easy and call my kiddos tomorrow morning for XMas...however once it's finished and the phone and cmd prompt say I'm golden - the phone still does it's bootloop

Please SOS!

At the moment, I am currently downloading the previous build, the 7.0 and seeing if I can sideload the old one - because everything seemed to be working flawless up until last night. Internet in this country sucks, so I am moving at a crawl.

[/COLOR]New question:

I was trying to flash the Huawei engineering radio to my device. I did not have a zip file or at the time the ability to flash in fastboot. Instead I used terminal and the DD command to create an image of my current modem, then again to write the engineering modem to the device. I performed a reboot. No logo, no unlocked bootloader warning, does not appear that the screen even turns on. By all normal conventions one would think the phone was completely dead. Long press power to power down, hold volume down and long press power, not a thing. I launched device manager on my PC and plugged in the phone. I heard the USB device connected sound, hmm it's alive. Long press power, bah bong disconnected. Volume down and power, bong bah connected. Try fastboot devices and adb devices, nothing. In device manager I noticed a COM port show up and remove that followed connecting the phone. Reminds me of Odin mode on the Samsung. So I tried all the methods in post 1. Now that I've uninstalled the Wug device drivers and reinstalled them, the COM port doesn't show up anymore.

So I'm stumped. This isn't my first rodeo, been flashing since the HTC EVO 4G. Every device is different and the 6P honestly has kinda been a PITA compared to previous models. Got an idea about that COM port? Is there a way to connect to this thing like terminal and issue bash commands to wipe and restore partitions? I feel like I could do that if I could get terminal access. I also need to find the device driver file for the COM driver. I reinstalled all the ones from WUG manually.

Thanks.
