Thanks alot for your hard work

Thanks to your hard work I have revived my phone and saved quite a bit of money. Even though my phone was still under manufacturer warranty, The great people at Huawei decided to turn me down for a slight scuff near charge port. For some reason twrp would not work for me, it installed but would not flash the modified boot image properly. After numerous attempts using twrp I finally flashed using fastboot method, worked like a charm. For those who cannot boot their devices to get to their settings to unlock and allow USB debugging, putting my device in the freezer for a few minutes did the trick. Again thanks a whole lot for your help.

Also I gladly signed the petition you sent to Google

So my Nexus 5x already had cpu 4 and 5 stopped but I have not flashed a kernel, it is still in a bootloop, would this method work or is the problem something else?

Upgrade from MM

Hello - I am stuck in the BLOD.

I was on MM, downloaded angler-opr6.170623.019-factory-9fd72ad6.zip from the Factory site and used FlashFire to install it. In that install process I selected System, Vendor, Cache and Modem.

When the phone came back on it was stuck in the loop.

I found this thread and did the following:

1. fastboot flash boot Oreo4Cores.img

2. fastboot flash recovery twrp3_1_1_4Cores.img

Still bootlooped.

Then I went into TWRP, did a wipe and installed EX kernel version 5.03

Still bootlopped.

What am I missing?

stuck with my bootloop fix

Hi, I'd appreciate any help

When my Nexus 6p started to bootloop, I factory reset it, it worked for a while and then started bootloop again. So I decided to try a fix on this thread. I had 8.0 Android

I followed to instructions and I was able to flash a Oreo4Cores.img, however, after a while my phone was back to bootloop, when I tried to flash again the same image, it didn't wipe my data and didn't help with bootloop. Any Ideas what can I do? Thanks
[Nexus 6P General] W@r10ck:
Why not try to fastboot .19? I also had problems updating thru flashfire.
[Nexus 6P General] zed011:
I used this boot image in this post and it works for me, not the one in the first post! Thank you again. I am on Oreo with this boot img :D
[Nexus 6P General] zhangla:
How do you connect the 6P to ADB once in boot loop? I pressed power and volume down and got into a screen, but my computer ADB devices always say "no devices found". I have the "Android Sonner Single ADB interface" driver I can see in Device Manager under "Android Phone".

What am I missing? I cannot go into recover mode or anywhere else, because once I choose recover mode it goes into boot loop again.

Help!

---------- Post added at 03:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 PM ----------

Did you use ADB tools, or what tool did you use to flash a bootloop 6P? I am stuck with ADB tool that cannot find my device, even though I have the correct USB driver installed. It appears to me that the 6P booted into bootloader mode is not being recognized somehow.
[Nexus 6P General] sharpz811:
I made the same mistake bro just boot into bootloader mode (power & volume down) then start up FASTBOOT then run the command "fastboot devices" and you should finally see your device (series of numbers) pop up then your good to go. Don't get confused adb and fastboot they serve different purposes. Adb only works when the phone is booted up and i believe in recovery also and this will allow you to adb push and pull files etc whereas fastboot will allow you to run commands line fastboot Flash boot ONLY when the device is in fastboot mode.

I just encountered the same issue, I think that the modified exkernel doesn't work on the most recent nitrogen o builds.
[Nexus 6P General] Tycff:
Hey man, thanks for your work on this. This morning I opened my gallery to check some vids from a concert last night, and then it happened. Bootloop since. Reflashed kernel, then reflashed rom, still no luck. Can we get a version of this for 6.0.1 firmware? :/ Thanks
[Nexus 6P General] THERAJ12:
I was able to load the latest build...flash vendor ROM modified boot img and then magisk and ROM will start ..after that you may need to reflash magisk and then flash modified kernel...working perfect on nitrogen Oreo now

Hello W@r10ck and everyone,

I am still stuck in updating my phone to Android O. I am a completely non-technical person so any help is appreciated. I have attached the screenshot (capture.png) of the files and the extracted folders and the filed in the OTA folder (capture2.png)

W@r10ck as per your last instruction:

Extract the Full/OTA zip file 8.0.0 (OPR6.170623.017, Sep 2017) on where your fastboot is located(thats where you run your command prompt) I have done that

Below is just an example:

fastboot flash bootloader C:\angler\images\bootloader.img there is no bootloader.img file in the OTA extract

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash radio C:\angler\images\radio.img there is a filed callled radio.modem is that the file to flash?

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash boot C:\angler\images\boot.img

fastboot flash recovery C:\angler\images\recovery.img there is no recovery.img file in the OTA extract folder

fastboot flash system C:\angler\images\system.img there multiple system filed in the OTA extract folder

fastboot flash vendor C:\angler\images\vendor.img there multiple vendor filed in the OTA extract folder

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1 (modified version, can be download in OP)

Fastboot flash boot Oreo4cores.img (can be downloaded in OP)

Reboot to twrp recovery and flash Supersu for root.
[Nexus 6P General] W@r10ck:
[MENTION=1085003]draxz[/MENTION] sorry i should'nt have said OTA. Instead download full image. There's a new one now .19 sept build. Download & flash that.
[Nexus 6P General] draxz:
Ah now I see the files :)

Could you please help me from here

This is what i gathered, I need to flash the following

bootloader-angler-angler-03.74

radio-angler-angler-03.84

fastboot flash radio

fastboot flash recovery

fastboot flash system

fastboot flash vendor

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1

Fastboot flash boot Oreo4cores.img

When I typed >fastboot flash boot bootloader-angler-angler-03.74.img it says FAILED (remote: metadata: partition name doesn't exist) it's the same for radio-angler-angler-

Do you know why I am getting this error? I will hit the thank you button for your every reply :)
[Nexus 6P General] rasimoes:
True story.

Yesterday I was in a concert when SUDDENLY :inset dramatic-chipmunk gif: my 6P blessed me with the BLOD. I can not describe how sad and frustrated I got at the moment and morning after. As always, I checked my beloved, God-by-themselves, trustworthy xda-developers mates and here you were, saving my life and ma mobile!

Mate, srsly, thank you so much. And here I ask you, PLEASE, create a donate button withing the thread. Paypal, Bitcoin, you name it. I would like to pay you a beer. You f-ing deserve it!

Thanks
[Nexus 6P General] draxz:
anyone please help I am stuck :(
[Nexus 6P General] SlimSnoopOS:
You entered an improper command. You instructed fastboot to flash the bootloader.img to the "boot" partition. Each image is flashed to it's respective partition. Failing to do so may result in a hard bricked device. Follow section 9 in the guide below for flashing factory images via fastboot.

Do not forget to use the modified Oreo boot.img (however it is named) to flash to the boot partition of course.

[Nexus 6P General] draxz:
Thank you SlimSnoopOS and darkriff. I think screwed it up even more :( The phone now says no command

This is what I did:

I factory reset the phone

fastboot devices

fastboot flash boot Oreo4Cores.img

fastboot flash recovery twrp3_1_1_4Cores.img

fastboot reboot

Now the phone says no command, I figured I will just install Android O from scratch.

Any idea how to fix it? :( I am able to go into recovery when I press the power and volume up
[Nexus 6P General] darkriff:
Mate, you need to follow the steps from the link that SlimOppsOS sent you. Just flash everything again, in which part the phone says no command? Are you able to access TWRP?
[Nexus 6P General] draxz:
Thanks for the reply. I had done this before I got the reply :( I should have waited.

I turn it on, it shows the Google logo with the unlock symbol, Yes I am able to access TWRP.

Do the instructions from SlimOppsOS still apply given that I have wiped my phone? Do I just follow step 9 How To Update To A New Build Of The Stock ROM?

I am a complete newbie with this so really appreciate the patience and replies.
[Nexus 6P General] Insane Soul:
So at last my 6P bootlooped today, tried everything, but nadda, but eventually using Hairdryer brought it back to live, so far it's working fine with no issue, my question is how likely it will bootloop again or I should go ahead and flash this file mentioned in the OP, and if I do how bad the performance goes down after flashing it?

Any help is much appreciated, thanks :)
[Nexus 6P General] murthyy:
thanks so much for this, my nexus 6p is working again. Just a quick question, Can I lock the bootloader again, will there be a problem ?
[Nexus 6P General] SlimSnoopOS:
No command is the stock recovery. Press volume up and power to continue. It may not boot into the system though.

If it fails to boot, flash each partition like the guide states. Just substitute the boot.img with the Oreo 4 core boot image.

Transfer all of your important files off of the phone now. I recommend reading the thread and deciding for yourself.

Do not lock the bootloader. This is not a permanent fix. It can and may bootloop again.
[Nexus 6P General] Ottawa.top.contractors:
What a class act, OP. To do this work and share with the rest of us. Top notch work, hat is off to you! Been waiting for this! My wife broke her phone and my 6p came out of the drawer and back in business. I can't believe how well it runs, we were hoping for at least usable, but it flies with Resurrection remix and EX kernel! All working great and she's very happy with her "new" phone :) Again, very grateful there are people like you out there! I will make a donation when I can, you deserve it!
[Nexus 6P General] draxz:
Thank you once again SlimSnoopOS and darkriff. I was able to flash all the files from the top of the list and get the phone up and running 8.0.
[Nexus 6P General] ddpainter:
Hey, thanks for putting all this effort forth into this fix.

My phone started a bootloop a few weeks ago. I honestly forget what version of android I was on. I assumed that I wasn't on O so I went forth with the other img's.

I flashed 6p48C.img and then twrp3_1_1_4Cores.img. Ran twrp and dropped 6pEX4_1_2.zip onto the twrp folder and installed it.

The phone gets to the 4 dots that eventually turn into the google logo, but does not progress past this. You said in the OP that it takes a while, but I've left it out for about 3 hours now.

I'm playing around with some of the other img's that you put up.

Any tips?

Device reboots only into TWRP menu

As the title says, I was able to flash the custom 4 core boot.img onto the phone but after loading into TWRP and installing the EX kernel, it will only boot back up to TWRP menu.

Am I doing something wrong?

Before TWRP I flashed the N2G48B_4cores.img which got me out of the Google logo loop but then stayed indefinitely in the loading animation (I let it run for 30 minutes to make sure).

I flashed all images manually.

The next thing I am not sure about is the "flashing over existing boot images". Do I understand correctly that you simply overwrite the img I flashed earlier? And if I wouldn't be using TWRP, how can I flash a zip file over a boot.img?

I am really sorry if these are things obvious to others but I spent a fair amount of time, trying to find the answer myself, without bothering anyone and now I've run out of ideas.

Thank you in advance, regards Avy
[Nexus 6P General] darkriff:
Did you do a factory reset in twrp?
[Nexus 6P General] AvyWizard:
When exactly? I have factory reset the phone several times but not after flashing the zip. I don't see an option for that either or I don't know if I maybe missed it?

For a manual factory reset, loading recovery mode with buttons is black jack, I can't always get into it and definitely not with the exact usual combo.

Starting recovery mode via toolkit brings it back to bootloop or in case of the twrp img back to that twrp menu.
[Nexus 6P General] c4ndy:
You're welcome. It's awesome that people get together and help each other!

Strangely, I had to reflash the original TWRP / TWRP twrp3_1_1_4Cores image from [MENTION=5288606]XCnathan32[/MENTION]. It wouldn't boot even with my modified boot.img sometimes if using the original TWRP, not sure why/how that's related. Did you have to flash the 4 cores TWRP?
[Nexus 6P General] darkriff:
So, Put us in context.

Did you just flash the 4coreimg file and that was it? What else did you flash? In which android version was your phone before you got the bootloop?

Which Zip?
[Nexus 6P General] AvyWizard:
I don't know on which android version the phone was before the bootloop as the original owner rooted and tried to fix the phone before I got my hands on it.

For that reason I chose to go with Oreo Android as original factory image as there are only 2 versions on the Google website available, as far as I can see.

I flashed every single partition manually with the original Oreo images, though the recovery image would only work when I had flashed the 4 core TWRP boot image, because with the N2G48B it wouldn't go into recovery and just bootloop.

The zip file is the elemental EX kernel from here https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/guide-fix-nexus-6p-bootloop-death-blod-t3640279

Please be a bit patient, I just started out with this kind of stuff and although I check what I wrote I still seem to forget to put down half of it.
[Nexus 6P General] darkriff:
THe EK Kernel is optional, phone should boot up without it.

So, if you flash all the partitions manually, and lastly you flashed the Oreo4Core.img phone should boot up. Don't worry about the elemental kernel...

From the previous post i can see that you are flashing this 4core boot img (N2G48B) which corresponds to android 7.1.2, not Not android 8.0. Please correct me if I am wrong
[Nexus 6P General] AvyWizard:
Alright, the only issue here is that the phone is then stuck in the loading sequence - those jumping buttons, not the Google logo. Any idea about that? I have waited for 30 minutes, did the whole process twice and can't get it to work.

(I did the manual flash with the Nexus Rootkit.

Can I do the same with the TWRP? I couldn't figure it out as I did not find sufficient info.)
[Nexus 6P General] darkriff:
put the twrp4core img file in the same folder as the other image files

Use this command

fastboot flash recovery (nameofthetwrp4corerecoveryfile)

then

fastboot reboot-bootloader

then try to access twrp

If you get access to TWRP it will tell you that there is a problem with the encryption, just click ok or next or whatever option is shown, then go into wipe and slide to factory reset. Reboot and try

Cannot boot device

Hello everyone. My Nexus 6p also get the BLOD but i cannot make it boot.

Ive been trying everithing like heat, freezing the device or drain all of the battery but it doesnt respond, just Google logo or red led.

My cousing has the same issue and i was able to fix it using the heat way and now it is alive.

But in my case it doesnt work, the phone boots in fastboot but when i try to select recovery mode it also starts to bootloop

if anyone had this issue and knows how to make it work again reply please.

thanks

Hey, first of all thanks for all your work. I was wondering if I could increase the number of enabled cores to like 5 or 6. Can you do that, or is the problem caused by the whole big cluster itself? I'm probably gonna give it a try but just wanted to make sure sure I don't screw up my phone.

Thanks to XCnathan32 and everyone else helping out.

My Nexus 6P went into the BLOD a few days ago. I have tried the fix, but haven't been successful. Perhaps someone has a suggestion for me? I am using Mac OS.

I have unlocked the bootloader and USB debugging is enabled. (Thank you, freezer.)

I have flashed to the latest version of Android using these instructions (https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t3252931). I'm pretty sure I've succeeded since the fastboot screen on the phone has updated the versions of BL (to angler-03.74 from angler-03.68) and Baseband (to angler-03.84 from angler-03.81).

"fastboot devices" gives me back the serial number of the device, although interestingly "adb devices" just gives me "List of devices attached" and then a blank line. Have tried reinstalling adb multiple times (using "bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/corbindavenport/nexus-tools/master/install.sh)"). Not sure what that's about, but maybe that's the problem?

I have then pointed terminal to the correct folder and run "fastboot flash boot Oreo4Cores.img", which then spat out:

"target reported max download size of 494927872 bytes

sending 'boot' (12853 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.299s]

writing 'boot'...

OKAY [ 0.201s]

finished. total time: 0.500s"

which seems fine? Then I rebooted the 6P, but it's still boot looping. I have also attempted this with stock 48C, 7.1.2 firmware and the corresponding fix img from the OP, but with the same result.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

There are many success stories that got their phones into the recovery. But I couldn't manage to get into the recovery even with the modified boot.img (tried both Boot.img from stock 48C, 7.1.2 firmware and Boot.img from stock 6.17, 8.0 firmware).

It's to be used if you're phone was already encrypted, otherwise it will bootloop. The boot.img from [MENTION=5288606]XCnathan32[/MENTION] doesn't have support for encrypted user data.
[Nexus 6P General] NoobInToto:
Oh, I did not know that. Anyways, i believe my phone is not encrypted because I did a factory reset in twrp once, because it asked encrption password at that time. The encrypt option in my phone is greyed out ( it asks me to charge and try again, even at 78% battery ).
