The system was informing me that i had no OS installed when i went to install a custom ROM, caught up in the panic i was quick to find a thread on how to reinstall factory images onto the phone, having followed the guide and flashed all the necessary .zip's and .img's to the phone i expected it to just boot back up into normal android. This is not the case, it is now stuck in a boot loop and i'm getting rather scared that i may have wasted my 3 month old phone. If anyone could help that would be amazing.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mac173:
I have a Moto X Pure 16GB with stock Marshmallow 6.0. I have a Samsung Pro 128GB U1 SD card installed as internal memory. If I move, or if an installed app is installed to the SD card, they disappear from the Home screen AND the app drawer on a reboot. When I reboot, the Icons are usually there just after boot up, then vanish after a minute or two. Apparently the data is not lost, because any games seem to have retained info and saves, but I have to re-install and move all the apps.

I have seen some posts that mostly do not offer any solutions, just advise me to get a bigger internal memory. Too late for that. I got this phone because I could expand the "internal" memory so much. If anyone has a workaround, please let me know. I was going to send the phone back to Motorola for service, but I don't think they even know what is going wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] draa34:
Hello guys!

I live in Romania and I just got an unlocked S7, and this phone is amazing compared to my old One m7. My only problem is waiting for Samsung to bring all the nice features from the Note 7 to the S7, and I am not that patient when it comes to software updates. I have been thinking about flashing a custom ROM(all my previous phones have had custom ROMs installed the day I opened the box), but I am afraid of triggering KNOX Warranty Void 0x1. I've searched on google about warranties in Europe and it seems that Samsung has to prove that a software modification I had made provoked the hardware failure in case I have a problem. However, I am not so sure about this and would like to hear from you guys (always trusted xda :D).

I do not really care about Samsung Pay, as I am not really going to use it even though I am moving to the U.K. Other features I may lose because of 0x1?

In the light of all of the above, is it worth rooting/flashing a custom ROM, are there any other gains besides ported features?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MAX 404:
Hi

regarding warranty you have to check in your country , in most countries in Europe the maker has to honor all hardware defects independently of the knox bit state......

Regarding rooting , well you have other kernels , no bloatware , xposed , mods, tweaks..........
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsmithdvm:
Hi, I am a noob. My Samsung S5 got stuck in a boot loop at the logo page. I flashed the firmware (G900TUVS1GPG2_G900TTMB1GPG2_G900TUVS1GPG2_HOME.tar.md5 - 6.0.1), and the problem was fixed. Then, when my battery was about to die, I turned it off and switched the battery, and it restarted in the soft brick boot loop again. I am unable to get to recovery mode unless it is charging. I tried wiping the data and cache partition, but that doesn't work. So I reflashed the firmware again, first in Odin 3.09, then in 3.11.1. It always passes in Odin, but when the phone starts to reload and load the firmware, it stops in the middle, says "erasing", and then goes back to the boot loop. Any ideas? Thanks!

what can I actually do with this device?

I went threw the setup wizard and then downloaded kingroot to the phone and ran the app and it did not work for rooting. says (root failed no strategy now)

so I was unable to root is this device even root-able. can I do anything to get a custom recovery I would prefer philz touch or Clockwork mod recovery should I just pitch this phone ?

feeling hopeless.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dutchy716:
I've been reading about bricked devices and want to downgrade from N to MM. I seen a thread in the 5X forum about it but want to be be sure before I attempt it with my 6P. Anyone have trouble downgrading? Can I just flash the factory image like usual? Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hutzdani:
Advice for now - Don't even bother unless your ready for a soft bricked device until the issue is resolved and considering we dont even have a factory image it could be weeks away.

its your descision but there are two threads now attempting to fix this and people have had mixed results, the only seemingly helpful thing is to back up 100% of your devices partitions / efs and absolutely everything from your MM build and store it safe on your PC for when your device eventually soft bricks.

just don't bother ! if your on MM stay for another month or so or lump it with stock rooted N, don't attempt to go back !
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultyrunner:
Yeah, so many stories of expensive paperweights when trying the downgrade. I suspect they're having some major issues with the 6p factory image, since the 5x has been posted for nearly two weeks. I've got mine working pretty well, with really good battery and ARISE sound actually working system-wide. I suspect we may see the factory image when this month's security update is rolled out - at least I hope so, given we're already into September.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dutchy716:
That's what I figured. Looks like I'm staying on N. Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Citizen_Snips:
[MENTION=3834728]dutchy716[/MENTION], you should be fine. Only people I saw who bricked either flashed the OTA package over a custom ROM (never, ever do this even on "stock debloated" ROMs) or restored a MM nandroid backup while being on N. I have gone back to MM plenty of times (at this point, close to 10). The steps to downgrade and not brick have always been the same and from what I've seen it's only been user error that put people in that position. Make sure you're using the latest TWRP which at this point and time is 3.0.2-1. This guide assumes you know ADB/fastboot and have drivers correctly installed. Follow sticky guide 'how to' links in general if this isn't the case. Using a PC, download and extract the 6.0.1 factory image.

Step 0.5: If you don't already have it, fastboot flash TWRP 3.0.2-1

Step 1: Reboot to TWRP

Step 2: Wipe > Factory Reset / Wipe > Advanced > System, Data, Cache & Dalvik

Step 3: Reboot to bootloader, swipe to ignore TWRP warning of no OS installed if you wiped system partition from advanced section.

Step 4: Fastboot time;

fastboot devices

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-angler-angler-03.54.img

-use volume & power keys to reboot back to bootloader

fastboot flash radio radio-angler-angler-03.61.img

fastboot flash vendor vendor.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Step 5: Reboot to recovery. When you see the android on its back alongside a red triangle & exclamation mark; hold down the power button & while holding power, press and release volume up. This will bring up the stock recovery menu. Use volume keys to select wipe cache partition and power to confirm. Then select reboot system now.

Let the phone boot and you're now on complete stock 6.0.1. Follow the steps exactly and I guarantee you won't have issues. Don't take shortcuts to save time (oh I can skip so and so step, do this order instead, etc.). At this point you can reboot once again to bootloader and;

fastboot devices

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-1-angler.img

Boot to TWRP & flash your favorite MM ROM.

Notes: This method does NOT wipe user data. Any pictures you've taken, files you've downloaded, etc. will all still be there. You do not need 'cache' or 'userdata' when flashing the factory images. Skip both of those. A factory reset from stock recovery will wipe all userdata from internal storage as will fastboot flashing userdata.img. That is why we do it from TWRP before starting and skip flashing it in fastboot. Cache will build itself as it boots. So long as you wipe it from TWRP/STOCK recovery you will be fine.

That'll do it.

Edit: Just look for yourself. This post is surrounded by "bricked after restoring nandroid posts" Do not restore a 6.0 nandroid over a 7.0 ROM. It appears there's an issue with backup & restore from TWRP at this time so just don't do it. Downgrade the way I posted to avoid data loss and bricks. All of my sensors, sim, data, etc. all work perfect.

Okay, it's been a while for me and I don't want to mess my phone up.

I'd like to go back to MM because my battery life has been atrocious. Now my questions:

2. Where is the best place to extract the last MM factory image to use during fastboot?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Citizen_Snips:
Yes in order to use fastboot, you need to unlock the bootloader. This will wipe all userdata off of the phone so backup to your PC first. I just unzip everything in platform-tools.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ericarthurc:
Hey so I actually bricked my first Nexus 6p doing this but I have been fine with my replacement. The Key is to update your twrp to 3.0.2-2 (make sure you do this). I then from Android 7 did a full backup in Twrp and then in the bootloader flashed the MTC20F factory image and it rebooted just fine. I guess in Twrp 3.0.2-1 there is an efs partition problem that is causing the bricks; my old bricked nexus 6p was on 3.0.2-1. So just please make sure you flash 3.0.2-2 twrp :D

[MENTION=4610119]RoyJ[/MENTION] I have Elemental X kernel flashed to RR ROM.

Do I need to return to stock kernel, prior to wiping and down grading?

ETA, I believe that I've found that the kernel is in the boot image. Your instructions include flashing the boot.img so I should be GTG.

If you'd like to confirm my reasoning, I'd appreciate.

ETAA, Well, I went for it. I DLed MTC20F, but halfway thru the procedure realized that there was no system.img, in the file. I then DLed MTC20L and it had a system.img. I continued with that file, but wound up with "YOU DEVICE HAS AN INTERNAL PROBLEM..." and the red, corrupt warning.

I went ahead and flashed TWRP and then started the whole procedure over. I wiped everything, in TWRP, including INTERNAL and using all MTC20L files. It seems to have worked properly and it is now on 6.0.1 and going thru the setup process. It has also received the 7.1.1 update notification, so I am assuming that all is well.

It was a bit scary, but I took a deep breath and forged ahead and got it done.

Thanks to RoyJ and others for this!

ETAA², been running on MM MTC20L, for a couple weeks and it's all good.

I may have spoken too soon. Yesterday, I upgraded the radio to the latest Verizon version and the bootloader to the nearest and latest version, to that radio.

Today I experienced something that I never have. I was typing a Tapatalk pm and the phone did like a soft boot. It went dark, then directly to the Google screen and then to the bouncing balls and seemed to hang. I held the power button and it did a full reboot, where it started with the unlocked bootloader warning.

ETA ³, I have not experienced the surprise 'soft boot' for about a week.
