[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] llong31:
I was using the camera on my pixel and it just shut off. It wouldn't turn back on. I had to hold the power button down for almost a minute before it booted back up. Now I'm stuck on the bootloader screen with no way to get into recovery. Clicking on recovery brings me to a failed to load recovery message.

I'm rooted on 7.1.1 December update, unlocked bootloader, stock rom and recovery.

I've tried reading the forum's before posting but im stumped. I've tried flashing the factory image via flash-all bat, but I get stuck at writing 'bootloader'... I've tried flashing twrp with basically the same amount of success, it just saying 'booting' after I run the fastboot boot recovery command. I've tried basically every option in the skipsoft tool kit. Many of the different things I've tried seem to end up getting stuck at the bootloader portion of whatever it is I'm trying to do.

Slot b is the current slot, I feel like that has something to do with it, bl is listed as N/A on the bootloader screen. I successfully ran the fastboot active_slot command to switch to slot a, but when I rebooted slot b is still active. I can't relock the bootloader either, tried that, it says successfully locked, then it reboots and it's still unlocked.

I'm not in front of my PC right now and can give more specific details if anyone has any suggestions.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] quangtran1:
If you can access bootloader, you're still OK. Take a breath, grab a recent adb/fastboot download. The Minimal ADB 1.41 copy isn't the latest but it'll work for this purpose. Redo your flash-all.bat. Be patient. May need to flash boota and bootb if you receive errors about boot slots. Search for CZ Eddie's flash-all instructions if unsure.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] drocny87:
Download the toolkit and choose option to download and install the latest factory build and when it asks if you want to erase data type n (no) so you will not lose anything. Just make sure you are on the slot that was active which i believe u said was b
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] llong31:
Thanks for the quick response, but the suggestion did not work. I had previsouly tried a version of what CZ Eddie said ( my adb drivers werent updated and I didnt palce the factory image in the same folder as minimal adb). I followed the guide to a T this time with the same result. The below is the same for boot_a and boot_b

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash boot_a boot.img

target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes

sending 'boot_a' (24821 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.643s]

writing 'boot_a'...

FAILED (remote: flash write failure)

finished. total time: 1.212s

and this is what I get when trying to run the actual bat file

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>flash-all.bat

target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes

sending 'bootloader_b' (32728 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.876s]

writing 'bootloader_b'...

It just sits there until I cancel the job, I let it run for about 15 min, which is prob 15 min longer than it should take for that particular portion of the batch. My bootloader is ****ed...

Sounds like when I lost a recovery in one slot doing a sideload in TWRP. I did the temp TWRP load and then added TWRP properly from there. No issues after.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Droid1019:
I had to do the flash all once because I wiped the whole OS. I just ran it without specifying _a or _b and it worked like a charm. I think where to flash it is in the bat file so it puts it in the right place on its on. I didn't take out the -w to save my data.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] GeekMcLeod:
This was going to be my suggestion. It's all I ever use when flashing through fastboot.

Also, as I believe the above poster stated, I don't specify_a or_b when flashing stuff. It usually just works for me.

Hope you get it all working again. If you can access the bootloader, I believe you will be able to.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
I am not so sure minimal even supports dual partitions. It's latest version is from April. Long before all of this. Might be why people are getting in trouble. It works if you don't specify partition sometimes it seems....We might be on to something here.

We're a mobile app developer for vertical markets (doctors, lawyers, engineers, warehousing). We put ourselves in customers' position to test our apps. We find ways to break mobile devices, from OS to drivers to incompatibilities to external environment (temperature, sand, rain, etc) in order to error-trap potential issues that users may encounter. We haven't bricked a phone by accident in a long while. If we brick something, we know what we did. That's why I'm speechless that average Pixel users in these forums can brick their phones.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] aholeinthewor1d:
That sounds awesome. Here I am doing tech support from home talking to miserable people all day. But yea it's crazy how quiet it is here. I don't really mean the development side of things either I just mean on general any time I've had new phones at release the forums were filled with people. Hoping after the holidays and as back orders are shipping we get some more people here that can figure this out.

I know I won't have an issue rooting and installing TWRP but I'm a little nervous to flash Roms before this is figured out. Especially because I don't stay on any single ROM that long I like to experiment.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] quangtran1:
Understandable.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] llong31:
Im sure you didnt mean it this way, but I didnt do anything to brick the phone, I wasnt flashing twrp or a rom or tinkering in any way. I was just using the camera. The more I'm reading, the more I'm thinking its an issue with 7.1.1 with pixels and nexus 6p's. I RMA'd this, we'll see what happens.

Also, I tried google fastboot, didnt change anything. I let it sit for about an hour and a half running the flash-all.bat, just sits at writing 'bootloader'... One thing I noticed is that with google fastboot is says writing 'bootloader' whereas with minimal adb is gave a specific slot it was writing.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] quangtran1:
There was absolutely no negative connotation in my comment. I stand by my experience that it is improbable to brick a smart phone. I'm just flabbergasted that it happens at all to anyone these days.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
Thank you for trying, and letting us know how it went. We are all still gathering info, and it's much appreciated. And glad they rma'd it.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] llong31:
Thought I'd add a little more info...

I cant charge the phone with the phone being turned off. It shows a picture of a battery being charged, screen goes black and flashes a a blue horizontal line across it (kinda like its glitching out). It does this about 3 times and then it automatically turns on without me pushing the power button. Not sure whats causing this, but its strange to say the least.

I made sure I had the latest SDK on my pc, been trying a bunch of different fastboot commands to try and wipe the thing and start over. Every command I run results in- FAILED (remote: failed to erase partition).

I tried searching this error, and its not looking good, most people just RMA'd their devices with many believing the internal sd is corrupted. I hope they accept it back, I checked the tamper flag, and its not on, unlocked is showing as on though (obviously).
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] quangtran1:
Sure, a corrupt system would certainly cause the battery replenishment logic to misbehave. It won't know when to fast charge, when to maintain, when to trickle, etc.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] quangtran1:
Did you have an outdated fastboot binary? If you can still get in bootloader, I'd try with the good fastboot from the Android SDK.

Once you have downloaded and installed the Android SDK Manager above you run the program as an administrator. Choose what you want to install. If you don't already have them you want Android SDK Tools and Android SDK-Platform-tools at the top (which would give you the most current ADB installation) and Google USB Driver is at the bottom under extras. You don't really need anything else unless you plan on doing Android programming. Just check what you want to install and click the button that says install packages.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vladniko:
If you have any drivers installed now uninstall them by opening driver manager going to view->show hidden devices. Go to Android Device, and delete all the entries in there.

Now start by installing minimal adb and fastboot.

Then download this, extract it to a folder, plug in your phone. Make sure USB debugging is on

Then begin to follow this guide until you get to the have disk part. Close the video now. When you get to the have disk part, select android_winusb.inf from the folder I linked you to on Google Drive. Then you just next thru everything. This should work for your 6P.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] longjohnsteve:
Honestly I rarely even connect my 6p to my desktop over usb anymore. MTP on win 10 is so atrocious. If I'm trying to transfer larger files or a picture folder windows will simply hang in the "calculating time required to copy" step, then trying to cancel will freeze everything. I've tried drivers, solutions etc to no avail. Best thing I've found is transferring files over wifi direct by using the ftp module in es file manager. You should definitely try it out, saves me lots of headaches!

I did not know the function of transferring files via FTP. I was testing send anywhere app and was pleasantly surprised

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
If you can't get it figured out using the Google USB drivers, install the Nexus Root Toolkit (NRT) by WugFresh. It has a driver installation and testing tool. It will work. There is also a NRT support subforum dedicated to the N6P. You can also use MTP in TWRP natively if you have TWRP installed.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
Well you didn't try it properly because it works 100%. If you remove all the old drivers from Device manager *and* using USBDeview, it will work. Try it again and follow the instructions to the letter. You should also swap cables just in case, so you can rule out a defective or damaged cable. You'd be surprised how often this happens. NRT will install drivers for use with ADB and Fastboot. After you finish, run Step 4 to confirm. The toolkit is just automating what most people do manually. This is not an issue with Windows, you probably have an old USB driver conflicting, and that is what USBDeview is used for. What about using MTP in TWRP... Is it working?

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeebob:
Hi Guys,

So I recently got my hands on a kindle fire 5th gen (2015), running the latest OS 5.3.2.1.

I have read many things and many different opinions on what can and cannot be done, and ideally I am looking for a conclusive list i there is one available.

So I was searching and Root Junky has provided custom ROM's and a few other files, however, this is my understanding

CANNOT: root

CAN: downgrade to an older OS, which may allow root, but its likely it will brick it

CANNOT: unlock bootloader for custom ROM installation

CANNOT: install a custom flash zip file from the inbuilt android recovery interface

I dont know if they just happened to crash down and lockdown the fire recently, but pages such as this below, indicate it can (or at least could) be done.

https://www.thepolyglotdeveloper.com/2016/05/install-better-custom-rom-amazon-kindle-fire/

and this, indicates its probably too late since I connected it and downloaded 5.3.2.1.

http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...ot-and-install-cm-12-1-on-5th-gen-kindle-fire

So, is there a conclusive list, aside "using your tablet as out of the box" as to what you can and cannot do to modify the fire 5th gen?

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeebob:
FF51, so very lucky, I am really envious actually.

The fire, when not suffering pixel outages, and without a dire need for GPS, makes an excellent hardware base, and from my reading, installng a custom rom would really unlock the xperience of the tablet and give it a much more competitive edge.

Out of curiosity, did you jump straight into the slim build, or did you try others?

- can not root (at present) or downgrade (ever) FireOS 5.3.2.1
