Thank you OP!

after million of trys (3 days), I found a way to make it work. boot.

Is the source code for 6p48C.img available?

How I got it to work:

1. fastboot flash recovery twrp3_1_1_4Cores.img

2. then I go to recovery for sideload adb; advanced settings -> sideload adb

3. adb sideload N5X-6P_BLOD_Workaround_Injector_Addon-AK2-signed.zip

4. adb sideload angler-ota-n2g47h-f3bffaba.zip

5. then reboot and go to bootloader

6. fastboot flash boot 6p48C.img

PS: I tried a lot of methods so I am not sure if something I've done before make it to work after all the commands.

[Nexus 6P General] todd_10:
Just wondering if it would be possible to flash the patched boot image (stock 6.17 8.0 firmware) listed in the downloads section front page, and then update using OTA to the latest build? Or would OTAs wipe the patched boot image?
[Nexus 6P General] Lughnasadh:
May be best to use this "new" method as it works with OTAs.

[Nexus 6P General] k@555:
I tried the below steps but it didn't work for me. After doing these, the phone doesn't go into boot loop but gets stuck at Google screen.

1) Downloaded purenexus_angler-7.1.2-20170725-OFFICIAL.zip and installed via twrp -> install -> install zip

2) Downloaded PureNexus7_25Fix.img and installed via twrp -> install -> install image

3) Restart phone via twrp -> reboot -> system

Please let me know what steps I did wrong or if I missed something.

Note: I had stock oreo installed previously that suddenly went into bootloop.

bootloop of death again

I purchase the nexus 6p in 2016 and in june 2017 got the bootloop problem, and I tried everything to bring the phone back to life and in February 2018 I try the 4cores solution and it works, the phone never have any problems with performance but this week the bootloop problem happen again and now I think is dead for good, try erevything again with the 4cores solution but I only get to the android animation after the logo of google, but it stay there for long time and then reboot again. also twrp is very slow when I try to do something there.

I have a Nexus 6p bricked right now and want to try this thread, I do not find it pretty easy for me as I am noob. Can you help?
[Nexus 6P General] Zacharybinx34:
My phone just keeps looping from the "Your Device software can't be checked for corruption. Please lock the bootloader. Press power to..." to the "Google" screen.

I flashed my phone up to oreo, wiped it, then flashed

Oreo4Cores.img

twrp3_1_1_4Cores.img

Any ideas?
[Nexus 6P General] hkingpro:
You need to download the relevant files for your phone. If you are trying to Flash Oreo on your phone. First download the factory image for Oreo and flash it after that download Boot.img from stock 6.17, 8.0 firmware that is mentioned on the thread and flash it and then finally download and flash TWRP version 3.1.1. After all that boot your phone up and it should work. Worked for me tbh.
[Nexus 6P General] digweed4me:
i did flash the modded ex kernel and overclock to max and set governor on performance still lag is still there
[Nexus 6P General] tjchuot287:
Really? Does the performance getting better? a little?
[Nexus 6P General] digweed4me:
just a little apps doesnt open fully ,i guess big cores are needed

uhmm.. Okay, it better to wait updates from OP. Thank you

still in bootloop after flashing twrp and boot img

Same thing is happening on my end. I didn't have my OEM unlocked so I tried one of the tricks in this thread to try to get it working for a bit (Left my phone charging under pillow in my bed for the whole night). I was able to get my phone working for a few minutes, unlocked OEM and it sadly got back into the bootloop (I really miss having this phone as my daily driver). I was hopeful that flashing the image and recovery would help but I'm still stuck in the bootloop with the additional 'device software can't be checked' page. Any other options or images that disable a different configuration of cores?

Still in bootloop

Hi. I have flashed the boot image but my phone still remains in bootloop. I also flashed the recovery image but I am unable to boot into recovery. I have already unlocked my bootloader and I have tried both 7.1.2 (N2G47W) and 7.1.2 (N2G48B). I was excited about this fix so you can imagine how disappointed I am now. Please help. :(
[Nexus 6P General] outbackpaul:
I'm still having an issue with the modded TWRP. It keeps asking for a password. I cancel it and perform a factory reset. I boot the phone up and then I go back to TWRP and it ask for password again and I hit cancel again.

I can't see any of my files while in TWRP.

My phone does boot now though. :)
[Nexus 6P General] metallicant:
Same here after numerous times of wiping data, reinstalling, etc.
[Nexus 6P General] xringo:
To fix this, you have to boot into twrp, then cancel the password thing. Go to wipe and swipe where it says factory reset. Then twrp will allow you to go into your internal SD.
[Nexus 6P General] metallicant:
Doesn't factory reset wipe everything on SD? I want to install the kernal but once I wipe everything is gone from from SD

[Nexus 6P General] outbackpaul:
I've done this twice now and still can't access any files on my phone. I even try mounting those partitions and there is still no files.

No, a factory reset doesn't touch your internal sdcard partition.

[Nexus 6P General] Einwod:
I bought the device in Germany. I live in Greece. Had 2 motherboards replaced, both under warranty. First was a failure to charge, second was the boot looping after I had used the fix. The solution is not permanent, it returns after a few months at most. Then your only solution is new motherboard or use as a paperweight.

I choose paperweight maybe :D.

thx for ur share brother... :good::good:
[Nexus 6P General] SmytheHiggins:
Greetings. I just went through like 10 hours or something of clicking and flashing and stuff to get this to work, and pulled from a bunch of different guides so I thought I'd post my method to fixing my 6P. It's just a normal angler 6P, North America or whatever if that matters, bought through Google. The history is last night I was sitting at my desk when I noticed my phone rebooting, it continued to boot loop. I looked it up and found out it was this big core problem. I used the "heat up the phone really hot to get into dev tools to unlock the bootloader" method and the rest is history. This is combined from a bunch of guides: (This assumes you have fastboot and adb working, and the SDK installed but IDK if you actually need that. I did this on Linux)

0) Boot into the bootloader

1) Download and flash a 7.1.2 image (7.1.2 (N2G48C, Aug 2017) from here: https://developers.google.com/android/images#angler .

1a) Download the big file.

1b) extract it and open flash-all.sh (or .bat in windows)

1b.1) fix the .sh file so it can run. In the terminal, navigate to the directory and do: chmod +x flash-all.sh

1c) edit the last line (fastboot -w update image-angler-n2g48c.zip) and remove the -w flag. You can also just run each line individually in the terminal, but you must remove the -w flag since it errors and fails if that's there. (THIS IS KEY!)

1d) run the script by doing ./flash-all.sh (Note: Again, when you open the .sh file you see it's just some terminal commands. You can just type that junk into the terminal and avoid all this, but remember to remove the -w!!) It will churn for a while and lots of cool text will scroll through the terminal.

1e) Reboot into the bootloader

2) Flash the 4Core TWRP via fastboot.

2a) Download the file here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bf9ug30v6uji1gt/twrp3_1_1_4Cores.img?dl=0

2b) flash it via the terminal with: fastboot flash recovery twrp3_1_1_4Cores.img

2c) reboot into the TWRP Recovery

3) Within TWRP Recovery, flash the Franco Kernel (Franco kernel r55) from the OP of this post. Download here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fd9cdq9qh3nuxc3/4CoreFranco-Angler-r55.zip?dl=0

3a) Just drag it into the TWRP folder and install it right from the GUI.

3b) Reboot into TWRP Recovery

4) Within TWRP Recovery, navigate to "Advanced" then "ADB Sideload" to install this tool: https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/bootloop-death-blod-workaround-zip-t3819515 . It is attached to the OP as file: N5X-6P_BLOD_Workaround_Injector_Addon-AK2-signed.zip

4a) Launch the ADB thing and via the terminal on your computer, push the injector or whatever over with: adb sideload N5X-6P_BLOD_Workaround_Injector_Addon-AK2-signed.zip

4b) send the command adb reboot and your phone will reboot, after about 30 seconds the Google logo will start churning and the phone should boot, well, mine did.

This is an old version of Android, so IDK if this is the best way to get it working, but I could not (NOT) get it working via any other method. My old 6P works pretty good now, well, at least good enough to tide me over until the new phone I panic bought last night arrives.
[Nexus 6P General] Ak's World:
I tried your method but not working.... Its not booting... Just bootloop.... And also not boot into twrp... Pls help buddy
[Nexus 6P General] joe99joe:
I've been running the 6p48aC.img for about 14 months now. This morning I woke to the phone bootlooping. Tried reloading the image but it did nothing. The only thing that works is warming the phone with a heat gun, which gets it to boot. But once it cools off, the phone dives back into the bootloop.

If anyone has any ideas let me know, otherwise, I will be looking for a Pixel 2 XL used/refurbed.
[Nexus 6P General] Lughnasadh:
Try this method as a last resort... Doesn't sound good though ?

https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/bootloop-death-blod-workaround-zip-t3819515
[Nexus 6P General] joe99joe:
Thanks, I am not a developer though I have some technical background. I looked at where you pointed and it seems like something I can muddle through.

But I am not clear about the custom ROM I am running now, the 6p48C. Does this other stuff overlay 6p48C? Do I still need 6p48C? Do I need to go get the latest official 8.1? The other post isn't clear on all of this.
[Nexus 6P General] Lughnasadh:
You can use it with whatever rom you want, including stock. Basically if you can get into TWRP and flash stuff then just flash the workaround zip. If you have trouble getting into TWRP then fastboot flash the modified TWRP in that thread and then the workaround.zip as the directions state.

The workaround zip patches the recovery and boot images.
[Nexus 6P General] joe99joe:
I've been messing with this all night long w/o success. "fastboot flash boot ..." command works from adb in Win10 CMD window.

ADB sideload doesn't work at all from CMD window.

C:\ADB>adb sideload N5X-6P_BLOD_Workaround_Injector_Addon-AK2-signed.zip

adb: sideload connection failed: closed

adb: trying pre-KitKat sideload method...

adb: pre-KitKat sideload connection failed: closed

I thought I might apply the 8.1 latest update for the 6P but after downloading it, I had no idea what to do with it.

I tried doing:

C:\ADB>fastboot flash boot twrp-3.2.1-0-fbe-4core-angler.img

I was able to boot into this when I applied the heatgun to the phone. But I had no idea what to do next. It asked me for the decrypt pswd and the I did not know what cmds or sequence to run next.

I then tried flashing the oreo4core.img but that never booted, even after using the heatgun for 5 minutes. It just sat at the Google logo forever.

So I went back to the 6p48C.img file to poke around some more. Surprisingly, the phone booted this time (it was still warm from the Oreo4core try) and so far is continuing to run for about 20 minutes now. But I know that it will likely fail again and maybe as soon as when I get up tomorrow.

I know I can always restore the 6p48C.img and that it will work when the phone works.

But I would like to get the Android 8.1 zip file installed and then try that BLOD file to see if that might get me a stable platform for a a while longer until I can decide on a new phone.

If I could get some pointers for this, I would be most appreciative!
[Nexus 6P General] Lughnasadh:
I suggest you start fresh by flashing the latest factory image.

The latest factory image (December 2018) can be found here... https://developers.google.com/android/images#angler . This has to be flashed via fastboot.

To flash via fastboot if you don't know how (make sure you backup any files you need as this will wipe everything):

1. Extract the files in zip to your desktop

2. Open that folder and there should be 6 files.

3. Open a command prompt window in that folder

4. Boot your phone into bootloader (vol. down + power) and plug phone into computer

5. Type fastboot devices in the command window and you should see your phone recognized.

6. In command prompt, type "flash-all.bat" without the quotes (this will wipe everything on our phone so backup any files you need to beforehand). It will take a minute or two to finish. Once it does it will try to reboot but since you have the BLOD it likely will not, so...

7. Go back into bootloader (and connect phone to PC)

8. Follow the step by step instructions on flashing the modified TWRP and workaround zip in the other thread.

9. Hopefully everything will work out and your phone will boot
[Nexus 6P General] joe99joe:
I have saved these instructions for the next go around. :good:

Right now, the phone has been working fine for 13 hours so far. Yea! All that heat gun I put on it yesterday maybe helped.

Thanks again for your help and patience.

Should I stay at Android 7 to continue using my nexus without problems?:)

The update won't install correctly because you do not have the stock recovery. You cannot install OTA updates with TWRP.
[Nexus 6P General] albertocv:
Hello, thank you for all your work. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to use it to unlock my phone.

I tried the method in this thread after doing several installations. Since it didn't work, I tried to bring everything back to "normal" before doing another try.

So, I kept the phone unlocked and installed the factory ROM from Google, the latest one available for the Nexus 6p. Then I downloaded "Boot.img from stock 6.17, 8.0 firmware" and flashed it following the instructions in the first post.

Then I rebooted my phone. It went to the Android loading screen and stayed there. I was out for dinner. When I came back, after a couple hours, it was still at the same screen.

What did I miss?

https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/bootloop-death-blod-workaround-zip-t3819515

1. Boot your phone after you flashed factory image or lineage-os(way more prefered because lineageos gets security updates) in the bootloader mode

2. Install latest TWRP 4 cores image

3. Install N5X-6P_BLOD_Workaround_Injector_Addon-AK2-signed.zip with TWRP - on any android version you like

4. Done

Maybe I'm just being stupid, maybe it's because it's been YEARS since I messed around with flashing/ADB/custom recoveries, etc. I've flashed the modified TWRP, the Oreo4Cores.img, the 4cEX5_03.zip, but when I go into the reboot menu in TWRP it shows "No OS installed" and the phone basically just sits at the Google splash screen forever.

Ive flashed oreo4cores to boot, twrp to recovery, installed ex kernel zip and the workaround zip both via recovery.

In bootloader, it says unlocked and enabled twice but download is disabled and console null.

Can anyone tell me what ive done wrong, what l missed and what the correct steps are?
