[Nexus 6P General] Vermanucci:
congrats

congrats sir, i am having one heat up itself (wrapped in a waist band thingy) now. i am very afraid of using a heat gun or hair dry (none of which i have access to right now)

Where did you heatup, only the fingerprint sensor area?
[Nexus 6P General] Mediadriven:
The top portion between the camera and fingerprint sensor.
[Nexus 6P General] Ather:
I'm heating tge fingerprint area with a hair dryer at max power for 10 minutes and it finally showed me the colorful logo for a second and quickly shut off to a battery logo, i guess i need to charge it for a while and heat it again
[Nexus 6P General] burduli:
Can you please tell how did you manage to boot up the phone? I'm having problem with this...

---------- Post added at 12:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 AM ----------

I did the same today, no luck. I was wearing kitchen gloves or something like that to hold the phone. It got really hot but still didn't boot up.

[Nexus 6P General] Vermanucci:
SUCCESS!!!!

The heating worked, co-worker had a heat gun. Phone temp went up to 54 degrees and it went to the animation then shut down to protect itself i'm guessing. I reflashed everything and allowed it to cool when it finally booted into twrp

Device is now booted and running. I'll continue monitoring & advise the ones i helped with remotely to do the same.
[Nexus 6P General] Ather:
was your bootloader locked? problem is I've left it on charge for half an hour and i took it off, heated it again and it would shut off with a single red led flash, im guessing I'll need to charge it overnight because i need to get into Developer Options to enable oem unlock and USB debugging
[Nexus 6P General] metallicant:
I just powered on the phone and left it keep rebooting itself until it finally booted up. As mentioned in other posts, if you are under 10 percent battery power the phone will eventually boot up.
[Nexus 6P General] Vermanucci:
it was already unlocked before it started to loop.
[Nexus 6P General] burduli:
Lucky you...
[Nexus 6P General] outbackpaul:
So I went and downloaded the latest factory image, removed the -w to prevent wiping internal storage(didn't work-I lost everything), executed the flash-all.bat. I then bootlooped. Then I flashed the 4 core boot img, twrp and now my phone works again. Now I need to flash PureNexus again.

So excited!

Oh, I finally remembered why I wasn't seeing any files in TWRP. Or at least I thought so. When the bootloop first started happening I got into recovery and started dirty flashing when it bootlooped again while it was flashing.
[Nexus 6P General] dirtykimchi:
.. Thank you. (didn't notice them at the end of each statement)

EX kernel OC

Can i over clock to higher than 1632?
[Nexus 6P General] XCnathan32:
Yeah, I just wasn't sure if that putting it higher would hurt the longevity of the phone or not, and I'm happy with the performance I get right now.
[Nexus 6P General] mivec1756:
Thanks. Right now just loading facebook alone is a bit laggy.
[Nexus 6P General] XCnathan32:
Weird, did you do a factory reset before you flashed the images, and did you do all the tweaks I did?
[Nexus 6P General] Vermanucci:
I did "fastboot format userdata" after all the flashing and it was still encrypted. I managed to format data from twrp and it looks like it worked (temporarily).
[Nexus 6P General] burduli:
So I drained my phone's battery and it finally boot up but only for about 10 seconds... I didn't even have time to finish setup wizard. I tried again and same thing happened. What can I do?
[Nexus 6P General] mivec1756:
can't recall doing a factory reset before flashing. i did wipe the cache,data, dalvik & system. i used EX4_1_1_4Cores and overclocked the little core to 1632. In kernel adiutor i have the governor set to performance. noticed how only core 1 is performing? should it be that way?
[Nexus 6P General] mdfarazb2:
Boot.img is not needed.. What are the steps which you're doing.? Can you write it step by step (on Oreo)?
[Nexus 6P General] ivan leo:
As I did:

TWRP-FBE

flash rom

flash gapps

Flash Magisk

flash AK2 kernel
[Nexus 6P General] Skull2candy:
Tried the same method but it didn't work and also tried stock rom by a post made by squabbi but my device booting again and again..

---------- Post added at 12:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 PM ----------

You did this on which rom? Stock or custom?
[Nexus 6P General] ivan leo:
DU RC, AquariOS
[Nexus 6P General] Skull2candy:
Ak2 you are referring is

N5X-6P_BLOD_Workaround_Injector_Addon-AK2-signed?
[Nexus 6P General] mdfarazb2:
Yes
[Nexus 6P General] ivan leo:
Yes, this is it.
[Nexus 6P General] Skull2candy:
It's working after few tries but still got one problem my device lagging too much. So I decided to flash EX manager now my device is bootlooping again. Any advice?
[Nexus 6P General] ivan leo:
I suppose you flash Aquarios and happened to me with this Rom instead with the other Rom and everything went well.
[Nexus 6P General] Skull2candy:
Yes Aquarios rom..so any way to improve performance without EX?
[Nexus 6P General] SlimSnoopOS:
At which point did you flash the matching 8.1 or 8.0 vendor image? Cuz if 7.1.2 still works but 8.1 does not, you're bootlooping is likely due to you using the 7.1.2 vendor image. The phone will not boot if you are using a vendor image from a different Android version. Install the vendor image, do a full wipe, then try your install steps again.

Edit: While you're at it, install the 8.1 radio and bootloader as well.
[Nexus 6P General] mdfarazb2:
That Rom has the issue of lag on first boot after a clean flash... Reboot and it'll all be fine!
[Nexus 6P General] Skull2candy:
Thanks for the advice but it's working great.. just some issues with lagging
[Nexus 6P General] SlimSnoopOS:
Ahh, clearly I misunderstood. Glad you're able to at least boot up
[Nexus 6P General] samy2015:
what about making same thing for lg v10 f600l model ?

bootlooping now with locked bootloader & no root

Is Android 8.1 supported? Ive been trying to get it going on my nexus 6p (latest official from january) and not working with only the 4 cores...

---------- Post added at 08:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 PM ----------

Is android 8.1 supported? Ive been trying to get it working wth this boot image but no dice. It works on Android 8.0 tho. Image used: Oreo4Cores

Did you manage to make it work with this exact img? Or used another one? Which one? And how? Anyways :) THXX
[Nexus 6P General] lu4414:

[Nexus 6P General] logic88:
Thanks to everyone for providing the fixes, it worked great!

I was able to boot and copy all of my data off.

I did have a question though. What did you mean by "not permanent"? Right now I'm shopping for a replacement phone but I do want to continue using this 6P until I get the replacement up and running.

Hi, Need help. Facing the same bootloop issue and am trying to fix it.

I cleared the cache partition. Then did a factory reset. And then heated the in between part of the cpu to get it past the boot. Am able to get to the dancing circles. But will it go past it? Thats my question. Or do I need to flash any stock before it to go past it. Kindly advice.

Can I ota update after changing boot img? I flashed modified boot image and modified twrp for Android 8.1.0 and an update came. Should I update?
[Nexus 6P General] konjkonjkonj:
Hey guys, another unlucky Nexus 6P user here, trying to fix it.

I've flashed several times and watched several tutorials on how to do this. It's not rocket science.

I've even patched my own boot.img file from the oreo 8.1 factory img and flashed it through fastboot.

Flashed elementalX on top of it through twrp (patched the recovery as well to use four cores), and went to reboot the phone.

It booted! It works! No problem that I did factory resets many times; I had backups from Google Play. I'll just turn on my WiFi and recover everything I need and try not to overstress the cores for the following months until I get OnePlus 5T.

BUT

My WiFi can't turn on! Regardless what I do, try to reflash, mess with all the possible settings, try with stock kernel or elementalX again, or flashing other people boot img files (after I patched three different ones, all successfully), my 6P simply won't collaborate.

Bluetooth is also not working. It can turn on, but can't connect to another phone, or send/receive a file.

Telephony & mobile data work well, the camera works, the sound is ok, but the essential thing is not.

WHAT TO DO??!
[Nexus 6P General] bdurica:
Stupid mistake!

I was able to successfully bring my Nexus 6P back with this amazing fix and instructions, however, I was certain my warranty expired and it turns out it hasn't! Is it possible to flash the original files back to the phone so that I can send it back under warranty? Thanks for any help you can provide!
[Nexus 6P General] SlimSnoopOS:
If you can boot into the bootloader, then yes you can flash the factory image. Just know the phone will reboot once you leave the bootloader.
[Nexus 6P General] Lollolollo84:
incredible It works! My N6p was in bootloop (OEM Locked / no recovery / no debug usb)...

I heated the phone using the hairdryer for about 15 minutes, it was so hot ... Very very hot that I had to use gloves to turn it on without burning my hands ... Magically the phone started up and I went quickly into the settings to enable OEM and debugging... later I managed to unlock the bootloader and the various flashes for recovery / Factory images...

Thanks for the guide...You saved my phone....!

Hello all!!

I've done this fix for my nephews 6P some months ago... Now my sisters phone is having this issue... I specifically unlocked it when she first got this replacement because this happened before... So it's unlocked and I'm able to get to the bootloader and flash anything I need to flash... But I can't seem to get it to boot anything... Not even recovery with

fastboot boot <twrp.img>

It just loops and loops... I've tried flashing the modified Oreo4Cores.img and even a new image... nothing is working... Any ideas??
[Nexus 6P General] Schramx4:
I think what you need to do is:

fastboot flash recovery <modified.4cores.twrp.img>

Has anyone tried the CTTmod/thermal mod along with this 4 core mod to possibly increase performance by preventing throttling? or do we not need it since it never gets that hot to the point of throttling anymore since the BIG cores are completely off?

[Nexus 6P General] GoJun:
Guys,

First thing, please skip for my English.

Also, I hate to say that " My brain was broken "

I spent 3 days for fixing my phone.

However, it doesn't work....

First day, spend as 5 hours...

The only thing I can go so far is, after met bootloop* , I tried and succeed when ran with a new rom ( SUPERXE-8.1.0-OPM3.013_v1.8.0 - super super good - love it <3)

But on the next day it even worst than before. I feel like I will never can fix this problem anymore. After 3 days, I feel hopeless now.

Even I try with the other rom.... oh wait. I try to follow this topic step and also this ( https://www.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p-bootloop-fix/ )

But still nothing.

Sometime after running on setting new rom, it automatically restart by itself at random time. ( try with other new rom too ) Even try with other Tool.

# Tried....

SO, Is that mean? My phone have problem with the hardware ?

Do I need to order a new phone now? But the Nexus 6p still so so good.

I never use iOs, so I will try with the pixel if i have to say bye to 6p. But I heard that they have same problem with Google logo too....

What should I do if it is still boot looping after flashing twrp?
[Nexus 6P General] Larry94:
I must be really unlucky or something. I've tried freezing my phone, blow drying it for upwards of 30 minutes, even used a hot iron over a towel because I thought it might not be hot enough but to no avail I can't get it to boot. The furthest I got was the boot animation and then immediately crashing to the charging symbol, but I've only got that once. Guess I might as well give up and sell it on the Swappa boneyard or Ebay.
[Nexus 6P General] eevee_:
Don't give up. I tried heating mine for hours and thought it was a lost cause but eventually, it booted for long enough so that I could access the settings. For me what worked was allowing the battery to drain to around ~5% then using a heat gun on the portion in between the fingerprint scanner and camera while covering the bottom half of the phone with a thick textbook to protect the battery. I had to get my phone EXTREMELY hot to actually make it boot. Do this at your own risk though because I'm not sure how hot the battery can get before it becomes dangerous. You may want to keep an ice bag on hand to cool down the bottom half of your phone.
[Nexus 6P General] tintome:
Tried heating the back cover but it heated all over, including the battery.

So I opened the phone and heated the left part:

Sadly, same thing happens . No recovery and continuous restarts

Still looping :(

Hi, Thanks for all the work you have put into developing fixes for these flawed devices. I have been able to access my bios and my devices was already unlocked and rooted so I flashed the .img but my phone still just bootloops. I am at my wits end on this, I have tried several other .img files designed for 4core and none of them seem to solve the issue. Any thoughts on where to look next?

Hi everyone, even after i flashed the custom boot img to 8.0, my nexus is bootlooping.

notifications led sometimes is Red.

when i put my device to charge, he turns on alone (and keep bootlooping)

i tried to freeze it, heating it up but nothig works

i dont know what to do.

USB debbuging was on, but i dont know if it still after i unlocked the bootloader.

(please, ignore my gramaticals mistakes, i'm brazilian, here dont have a way to repleacement and a Nexus here is so expansive)

No, I flashed the latest rom from google and then with custom twrp i flashed the osmosis fix.
[Nexus 6P General] vitorzb:
Have you also flashed twrp (via fastboot) then kernel (via twrp)? Or have you only flashed the custom img?

I flashed all three and it worked. (while I was on recovery I wiped everything clean.
[Nexus 6P General] pitflyer:
I had a similar issue earlier today except my phone was luckily already unlocked bootloader. I went up to my phone and found it buzzing non-stop.. so I hard powered it off. Then when I rebooted it would boot loop -- couldn't get into recovery either.

At first step I tried to flash Nexus 6p firmware images from Feb 2018 (I was on Jan 2018) but that didn't help any, either default recovery or standard twrp. Then I used the custom TWRP recovery which did boot into TWRP, from where I flashed the fix.. My phone is now working now, but I know time's up.

I'm annoyed because I hate iPhone but my luck with Android hardware has been terrible; before this Nexus 6P I had a OnePlus One which randomly failed also, and before that I had a Samsung Note II which also had a chip fail (and I paid $150 to repair that one). Why can't I just get a phone with dependable hardware in the Android ecosystem???
