[Nexus 6P General] Coeur Brisé:
I wasnt ready for this when it happened to my 6p yesterday but i was mad as hell. Only had the thing for about 4 months because i got it for $200 last december in mint condition. It was already out of warranty when i got it but i figured id be able to use it for the year atleast. Mid January it started shutting down at 15 percent battery i figured because it was could outside and it only happened when i was outdoors when im inside it lasts till 1 percent. But it ran as smooth as you would expect and i had flashed ressurection remix OS on it after my first week of having it which was a great custom rom. I decided a few days ago inwould update to android 8 but had to find a rom and i heard LOS 15.1 had officially been released i was like great ill try it. I downloaded the rom, gapps, and rebooted into recovery. I attempted to flash the rom but i got an error saying the package is for device name "angler" and my device was a " ." (Yes is was blank with a period :/ ) which confused the heck outbof me because my device is angler and thats how i flashed ressurection remix it was for the angler build so because it didn't work i restored my backup i made earlier and when i tried to boot, it just kept looping at the google logo and i was like "you gotta be f****** kidding me". To make the situation worse, i dont have a charger for my laptop and my laptop has fastboot installrd which is how i unlocked my bootloader few months back but now i cant even use my laptop to try and fix my nexus. So the current pickle im now is ive tried using my mothers computer but she won't give me the admin password because she thinks i might mess up her computer with a virus or something and slow it down (shes had tons of bad experiences and called people to repair it multiple times because she isn't tech savvy and doesnt understand how sht works nowadays) and i moved the modified boot image, twrp, and pure nexus rom to my phones storage and flashed everything in twrp. Now instead of looping it did once then said "your device is corrupt and may not work properly" and is stuck on the google logo for the last 30 minutes. Im lost at this point i factory reset, installed pure nexus from recovery, flashed boot image from recovery, amd flashed twrp 3.1.1.0. Its just not booting or looping i can access recovery but not the OS. Can someone help me?

Edit: My bootloop was caused by the fatal bug in an old twrp build that occurs when you try restoring an EFS file which I was COMPLETELY unaware of. I just had to force my mom to let me get her administrator password so I could install adb and fastboot on her computer then follow the guides instructions and when I finally saw my the resurrection remix oreo bootanimation I was very relieved. Typing this on it now and it's running great. But to anyone who has had to try these fixes I'm just curious as to how long you were using your device and how extensively? Only had mine for four months though I did get it second hand in mint condition.

Hey all, I have a stock 6p non-rooted, crashed on me a few times last few days and now it's stuck on google bootloop logo. I did install and followed instructions for platform tools, google usb drivers, factory image, twrp patch, magisk, but could not perform adb commands in cmd. I can get into boot loader but not able to flash in cmd. Please any ideas to this problem. Thank you.
[Nexus 6P General] firoz3321:
wanted to give it a chance again with my Nexus but even with latest ROMS, BOOT images and Recovery files, my Nexus doesnt enter Recovery.

Only have access to Bootloader.

Could this be some other issue altogether ?
[Nexus 6P General] NLSteve:
Yes, this is an issue to solve first, check the first post of this thread;

I have tried (multiple times) heating the phone, above fingerprint-scanner and just underneath the camera, or leaving it on a low charge.

Without success.

There is another option, to replace the entire motherboard (which costs too much.. $200,-).

Asking Huawei for the oem unlock code might work for you via this link, this hasn't worked for me thus far...

I gave up after trying to boot the phone while heating.

Yeah, I got a 128Gb bootloop special and sorry I spent the mucho dinero for it. I decided it's good practice to crack the case for a battery change in case my "good functional" 64Gb 6P needs a battery..

change. Used an isclack and destroyed a couple of the blue guitar picks getting inside. The plain thin picks worked better than the thicker webbed picks. The edge on the screen was dinked ever

so slightlty from a plastic pry stick but not so bad. If this 128Gb 6P was salvageable I'd be o.k. with the screen. Try and minimize the use of a plastic pry sticks and lay in a supply of the thin blue picks

to crack open the case. You'll destroy some picks in the process so have extras around. The Isclack helps a bit too.

I tried running the battery down, overnite freezing, running the battery down, connecting it to the charger and letting it bootloop for 5 minutes. Then applied heat between the camera and the fingerprint

sensor. No dice. I think a temperature sensor would shut the thing down! Never did boot. Then last ditch, I opened the 128gb unit as described above and did the "reheat" routine with the back of the

phone off! I laid a thick book over the battery to insulate it and again, nothing.

Don't buy a bootloop special unless it's really cheap and use it for "opening" practice so you can get your technique down for when you try to open up a "good" 6p for a battery change.

$200.00 for a motherboard? I'd search for a used one. Some 128Gb units are going for $259.00. Kurt

Did you try referring to this thread: https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928

I got my bootloader unlocked and whacked the OS so bad on my 64Gb 6P I had to get the OTA .img files out of the ROM file pack that kill the offending cores and reconstruct the phone as spelled out in Mr. Heisenbergs excellent thread above. I use Ubuntu Linux and boy was it satisfying to see the phone boot up to a clean system after running through all the commandline orders. Got TWRP then Magisk and off to Lineage 15. I wouldn't know how to do this stuff in Windows. It also looks like you might have a dying battery.

Best of luck and give that thread a good going over. It might help. If you can get it up and runnig go change out the battery next. Oh one other thing, I leave my bootloader unlocked especially after

my experience with the bootloop special I mention in another post. Kurt

sorry I'm lost guys. So I flashed twrp, boot image (8.0) firmware, went through the steps to flash all images necessary. Now phone boots into TWRP, what's the next step in this process. I tried installing SU zip in TWRP but it says digest file not found. Shouldn't my phone boot into stock rom now? Thanks for the help, been without a phone for a week now..... :(

I can see that you know how to modify the boot.img for every firmware/Android update version. Could you make a guide how to do it?
[Nexus 6P General] MaRkuS_538:
Hey guys,

been using my 6P for years now, worked flawlessly all the time. Until I received a bootloop today. Did my research and landed here; flashed the SuperXE (the ROM I'm on, the latest one, custom build) boot.img and the recovery.

So I came into recovery mode, but no more than that: After 1 hour on the white Google boot screen nothing happened. So I had redone all the steps - flashing the recovery, the ROM and the boot.img.

Whatever I'm trying, the lockscreen simply won't show up. Have also tried to flash the kernel after the boot.img - didn't work, either.

Is there a way I can get my phone up and running again?

Thank you!

I followed the steps you provided in the post and also several tutorials which are inspired by it. My phone is still stuck in bootloop. It had Android O when it started looping. I managed to heat it up and unlock the bootloader and enable OEM debugging. Flashed it also but didn't work. I don't understand what TWRP is and how it works (sorry I am a noob at this stuff). I have not been able to access the recovery mode either.

I tried to heat it up again to run it but that didn't happen either. I figured since I've flashed it with the 4cores img, it would have nothing to disable once it heats up.

Pleeeeaseee, help meee!! I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. ;-;
[Nexus 6P General] mr.vladis:
I have the same problem :(

I do understand what TWRP is, but it didn't help much.

Additionally I have tried to flash 8.0 factory image (8.0.0 (OPR5.170623.014, Dec 2017)	Link) and then Oreo4Cores.img as boot and twrp3_1_1_4Cores.img as recovery, but can't get to TWRP. It just remains in boot loop.

Bootloop on April security patch

Hi guys,

My phone is currently bootlooping on April Security patch 8.1.0 (OPM3.171019.019). Can I get a modified boot.img for the latest patch please? I am currently able to boot into TWRP recovery but phone will not boot past the 4 circles screen. I'm on stock with unlocked bootloader.

Thanks!
[Nexus 6P General] Hungry hustler:
Guys look on page 215 there is a post by [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION]. This guy made everything so much easier. If i remember correctly, on page 216 or so is smth like a little guide or someone put everything together. No need of modified boot anymore. All thx goes to osm0sis ?
[Nexus 6P General] mr.vladis:
Thanks mate, but to use [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] K2 injector - we still need to boot to TWRP and this is the bit that doesn't work.

I have tried 3 different versions, including one from osm0sis website, but they all fail to load. And I still in boot loop.
[Nexus 6P General] Aukaminator:
Hi guys.

Assuming you have unlocked bootloader this is what I did that temporary fixed the problem;

1) Download platform tools from https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html

2) Navigated to https://basketbuild.com/devs/osm0sis/osmods

3) Downloaded twrp-3.2.1-0-fbe-4core-angler.img (For Nexus 6p)

3a) Put the recovery file to your platform tool folder (Optional to rename it to something short. EX: twrp.img)

3b) Shift-right click on your platform tool folder and run cmd prompt. If you're using windows 10, use Powershell and then type cmd in the new window before executing further commands)

3c) Type in "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-0-fbe-4core-angler.img"

3) Downloaded N5X-6P_BLOD_Workaround_Injector_Addon-AK2-signed.zip

4) Move N5X-6P_BLOD_Workaround_Injector_Addon-AK2-signed.zip to any folder on your phone.

5) Using TWRP, flash the AK2.zip and it will patch all necessary files to fix the bootloop. It is universal so you don't have to worry about which security patch you're on, etc.

6) Reboot and cross your finger that it works.
[Nexus 6P General] imlabinit:
Hi guys,

I was able to unlock the bootloader through NRT and followed the steps up to the point where I flashed the .img file. The final instruction required me to reboot my phone and wait for a while until the phone's boot animation and lock screen shows up. Unfortunately, the screen has yet to reach the boot animation nor lock screen. I am stuck at the "Google" logo with the unlocked symbol on the screen. I already left it overnight hoping that my phone boots up successfully on the next morning. Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks guys.
[Nexus 6P General] mr.vladis:
Yes, it all make sense.

The question we all asking is what to do if after following those steps you stuck with loading TWRP? Is just continue to boot loop instead of loading it.
[Nexus 6P General] aribarti:
Thank you for your suggestions! I've also tired to make a boot.img with 4 working cores, as you suggested, from oreo 8.1 but unfortunately did not work.
[Nexus 6P General] knaxx1:
I am unable to get my phone to boot into TWRP these are the steps I've tried.

followed all of the steps on the below post EXACTLY. It bootloops when trying to go to 'Recovery Mode' using phone.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75774448&postcount=2289

1. flash-all.bat AND/OR manually flash all .img per step 9 in the large post. This is using the Dec 2017 8.1.0 and Feb 2018 8.1.0 version of factory image. All steps show up as OKAY

2. flash osm0sis' TWRP 3.2.1-4-core shows up as OKAY.

3. bootloops after selecting Recovery Mode via volume keys on phone

I have also tried the 7.1.2 image and boot.img with no luck. I have also tried various other versions of android factory images and boot.img or TWRP here with no luck.

Whats the maximum temperature i can heat it my 6P to ?

I tried heating it with hairdryer. I was soo hot, that i"ve almost burned myself touching the power button. Im was still much below 100ºC though (im worried, that heating it longer with a hairdryer will make battery smoke or explode)

And whats the maximum temerature our CPU can handle ? Mebay if i open the phone up and use hot-air soldering station to precisely heat up the processor to very high temperature it will make contact again and work ?

I was still heating mine when I have to put it close to the wall as I wasn't able to hold it anymore. Was heating it with hairdryer as well. I think it took me around 30 minutes.
[Nexus 6P General] b-droid:
I tried all of your steps but it doesn't work. Same is the case with the steps I tried on the main post. It would just keep stuck in the bootloop. I was unable to get into recovery as well. Any advice?
[Nexus 6P General] knaxx1:
I've tried all the above steps too with no luck booting into the modified recovery. I've also tried several others' detailed instructions with no luck. I cannot get past the bootloop to either system or recovery.
[Nexus 6P General] Razumen:
Hi guys, I followed this guide, but I'm still having some problems. these are the steps I've done so far:

1. fastboot flashed Oreo4Cores.img

2. fastboot flashed TWRP version 3.1.1

3. Went into TWRP and then installed EX4_1_1_4Cores.zip

After this I tried to reboot, but it only got to a screen with the Google logo and an unlocked lock icon at the bottom, where it just stayed there.

After this I tried a factory restore, first from within TWRP, and then manually with fastboot using this image: ( angler-opm3.171019.016-factory-08de5265.zip) skipping the parts that would replace the boot or recovery. Now the animated Google logo starts up, but it doesn't finish. After a couple minutes the screen goes blank, the phone reboots and then it goes straight back into recovery mode.

I'm not sure what to do now. I Someone posted elsewhere that using the nexus Root Toolkit might fix it, by using the "Flash Stock + Unroot" script for "soft-bricked/bootlooped devices", but I'm wary this will replace the modifications I've already done and then I'll be back at square one again.

hi guys, if I flash twrp 4cores and it doesn't boot into recovery does that mean it's another problem?

I'm only trying to boot into recovery and pull my data from there, because I don't want to lose my user data. I cannot flash stock from bootloader as I'm running an older version of PN (I think I'm on 7.1.1) so I can't even install the boot.img of PN unless I can boot into recovery.

appreciate any help because I'm still trying to wrap my head around this BLOD

So heating didnt work for me. It even damged it more. Juging by the fact, that the screen has poped up a little bit in the middle, by battery had to inflate from the heat ;/
[Nexus 6P General] firoz3321:
Well cooling didnuwork for me either. Didn't dare to heat up as i don't have controlled environment to heat just correct.

I kept the device in freezer for few hours (i just forgot that i kept it in freezer).

Interestingly the boot sequence took longer than usual and i really hoped it would boot up.

But the bootloop continues.

Have you tried not flashing the EX kernel after?

Where did you get the Oreo4Cores.img? Mine are named with a different convention.

If you can boot TWRP, it's a better sign than not being able to boot into anything at all. Make sure the patched boot image matches the build of factory image you're flashing.
[Nexus 6P General] Razumen:
Thanks, I had downloaded the correct factory image for my phone previously when I tried a bunch of other guides, but then this one finally worked for me: https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/guide-tutorial-nexus-6p-bootloop-death-t3716330

After following the guides for reviving and updating a BLOD device I finally got past the animated Google logo and it booted normally, been working fine since. Also, I disabled automatic updates since I figure that will just remove all the fixes and return it to an unusable state.

I hope this helps other people here as well!

Hi. I couldn't install the last stock from SuperXE 6p (Aroma install) just stop saying " this is for Angler and this is". But trying the custom last custom Super XE I could do it.

In the custom ROM it's possible to install the EX kernel?

Dear, OP.

First of all I should say thanks for your effords to help people that suffer of suden death of their N6P.

I would like to ask if your solution is a permanent one. I'm asking this because I've tried everything that your tutorial says and my phone keep into this ridiculous error. I've tried to heat it up with a hairdryer to force the boot, but a few minutes later the bootloop returns even with the 4 clocks offline. I would like to know if there is another solution because I have no money to spend in a new smartphone rigth now. What I possibly do to keep it alive for a few more time?

This fu!@#$%%^ bootloop is so fu!@##$% stupid that is driving me crazy. It makes me feel dumb an angry. How a HUGE company like Google don't give a single sh!@#$% about this error? This issue is been happening for around 2 years and NOTHING comes from it. I honestly don't care if my phone will loose 4 clocks. All I want right now is turn my phone on and it keep it working. I can not belive that there isn't a "official and funcional" solution for the owners of N6P. Thank God there are ppl like OP who really cares about us, but he is by himself and one man alone, can't do everything. I followed EVERY SINGLE STEP of the OP tutorial and that stupid bootloop still strong in order to beat me and to drive me nuts. OMG. Please, someone, anyone, help me. :(
