[Nexus 6P General] ksaves2:
Just for fun, got a "parts" 6p (128gb) heated it last nite but I think the battery shut down or some sort of thermal switch cut it out.

I then read some more of the heating techniques today but for fun, froze the thing in a deep freeze for an hour and still

got the BLOD. In fact, it's BLODing now as we speak.

Next, I'm going to do the ice pack on the bottom 2/3rds and heat gun on the top (I didn't know about that last night).

Perhaps keeping the lower part cool and heating up top where everyone says it works will allow it to boot up so I can

allow OEM unlocking and USB debugging. If not, I truly got a bricked device like the seller (honestly) said and I knew going

in.

I think I'll let it run down overnight or perhaps run it down during the daytime on my desk where I can monitor it

better and then give it a go again. I do have a 64Gb 6P I paid a premium used ~$250.00 the first darned thing I did was

unlock the bootloader and got the OPM3.171019.013 ROM on it, Magisk it, and TWRP'd it then did Lineage 15.1. Only problem

I've had with Lineage is the 6P doesn't want to read and write to an OTG USB memory drive. I've tried several including

a USB C stick. The ES file manager "Pro" can see the stick but can't get into it. Yes, I have the USB port set for file transfers.

A minor nuisance as early on I discovered TWRP can "see" the OTG memory stick and happily writes backups there. In fact,

I needed to get 600mb of maptiles into my 64Gb 6p and the TWRP file manager jumped right in and imported them to the

internal SD from the "stick" in 15 minutes. Computer transfer of these files would have taken "days"! So I'm happy and perhaps Lineage will

get this sorted out in the future. l even though the 6p is a bit hobbled running on fewer cores, its a heck of a lot faster hobbled than a BLU Studio G Plus I was using. The BLU was $49 in December 2016 so I'm not afraid to be rough with it. Kurt

Has your phone restarted after these fixes? What combination is working perfectly for you.... Please share.

I'm up and running totally fine ( currently running RR Oreo) since the day I applied the fix. Didn't face even a single random reboot , neither I've heard of anyone else:( . I've flashed many Roms since that day using the same process (which you've quoted) without any issues... I think the case is severe at your side. Maybe yours is "more damaged" than mine? :confused: I've no Idea maybe try clean flashing some other Rom Or don't use any custom kernel ( be on the one that came with your rom that is the stock one).:(

If it still doesn't get fix, then I think you should probably look for a replacement device.:(

Bootloop from Hades

Hello again, Got a bootloop special from "epay" (a 128gb unit with a locked bootloader) and indeed I'm getting convinced some 6p's are good, some bad. I did order a 64Gb "excellent condition" unit too from a commercial reseller before I read of the rigamarole here. Oh gosh, did I read up on unlocking the bootloader and NOT updating till I learned what was going on! Stuck the OTA recommended as a base for Lineage 15.1 and have done fine with the 64Gb 6p for going on 3 weeks.

Yeah quad core but a heck'va lot faster than a $49.95 Blu phone with 8GB (and an SD card slot which has limitations the least of which one can't find a good stock ROM out there in case of a dorking) Before 2016

I dinked alot on LInux since '94 as a script kiddie but have fun. Rooted several times a Nexus 7 2013 flo, a razorg and a 2012 3G so not too much of an idiot with these things.

Froze the 128Gb unit twice. Heated it up a couple of times but the base Android OS must be fried.

No luck getting it to boot so I could unlock the bootloader. Oh well at least the seller was honest about it being a parts "dog" and I left positive feedback. Going to use it as a "trial" to learn how to replace a battery so I don't bash my good 64Gb 6p when I decide to stick a new battery in. Kurt

Look at #9 in this thread: https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928

It's a semi long process to do but it did work once I got the commmands right. I had to do stuff like "./fastboot boot" on my linux box and it might be different in Windoze.

I downloaded the 8.1.0 (OPM3.171019.013, Jan 2018) OTA rom from Google. I believe it already has been changed to using a quad core. I use a Linux Ubuntu laptop but essentially I did what is listed in

number 9 post to get the running ROM on my Nexus 6p 64gb. I Magisk'd it to get it rooted and TWRP'd it. I then put Lineage 15.1 and pico Gapps in as I don't like all the garbage that big brother "GOOGLE"

thinks we should have. As long as your device has an unlocked bootloader, you'll be free to attempt to resurrect it. It's always worked with mine.

If the bootloader is OEM locked, one is in dire straits. You should be ok with your "Your device software cant be checked for corruption. PLEASE LOCK THE BOOTLOADER" screen. Once you get it fixed,

just ignore this screen. If you lock the bootloader and it loops, you're close be being screwed. One can freeze the phone they can heat it up but getting it to boot to a setup screen to attempt to OEM unlock the bootloader might be a lost cause.

As long as the bootloader is unlocked one can plug it into a computer and start again. Kurt
[Nexus 6P General] tnbyrnes:
Hi there,

I successfully managed the hair dryer method, unlocked my bootloader and flashed TWRP, and gt Pure Nexus working. I then changed my mind and did flash-all with a stock image, and re-flashed the boot and recovery partitions with the 4 core and TWRP 4 core images respectively. Still getting boot loop on both - did I miss a crucial step/do this in the wrong order? I'm surprised TWRP isn't working since I got it working a few times before (definitely the right file, have redownloaded a number of times). Any thoughts?
[Nexus 6P General] mdfarazb2:
Did you try using the ak2 zip?
[Nexus 6P General] tnbyrnes:
Forgive my lack of knowledge - but don't I need TWRP to flash a zip? I can't seem to get TWRP to work at all (even though I feel like I've done the same thing previously and it has worked).
[Nexus 6P General] rcs4787:
Quick ?, why dosent ADB command see my device? I used Android Studio to download Google drivers. It only sees the phone as Android Bootloader in Device manager but I cant load TWRP.
[Nexus 6P General] mdfarazb2:
Maybe try fbe twrp by Osm0sis
[Nexus 6P General] DevALT:
here more modified images

for me Flashing Kernel wasn't working I had to flash boot.img

Using source provided by OP I modified 2more boot.img from ROM SuperXE 8.1, NitroOS 8.1 and modfied TWRP 3.2.1.0 to work with 4 cores too (just because I like to have latest update)

here the link to my GDrive : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1CqzDGwjOndSXVoOdRIPVLcMf6Ag10ApN?usp=sharing

folder containing :

-TWRP-3.2.1.0_4core.img (recovery)

-modified 4core boot.img for SuperXE 8.1 ROM

-modified 4core boot.img for NitroOS 8.1 ROM

all files were tested on my BLOD Nexus6P they work

Use the sme method to flash provided by OP

1- reboot into bootloader (holding power+vol down)

2- connect PC use fastboot to flash twrp recovery

fastboot flash recovery "twrp4core.img"

(note here twrp4core.img need to be change with the location and the name of the image you are flashing)

3- use the command : fastboot reboot-recovery to reboot into twrp move boot.img into internal storage

4- flash your custom ROM

5- flash boot.img corresponding to your custom ROM and modified Kernel provided by the OP ***AFTER FLASHING THE ROM*** using twrp

6- reboot your phone and wait until the boot (if it take more than 15 min to reboot i usually reboot manually holding power+vol down to go in bootloader and reboot the phone, but i'm sure it's not recommended still doing it and so far i didn't had any problem and it was working for me)

You flash at your own risk

Device : Nexus 6p

State : Bootloader locked ,

Usb debugging : off

developer option: off

Oem unlock : off

All button : Power , volume button working

I've some different issue compared to normal bootloop . My nexus 6p doesn't start until heat is applied . Let me clear when I click the power button or any volume power button combo there is no reaction. Even if I connect my charger no sign of life . But as soon as I apply some heat through hair dryer the device starts automatically without the need of clicking power button and bootloops in google logo for 3-4 times. Sometimes I reach upto google animation and stuck on final stage(Android logo) before booting. Then after when it cools screen freezes and no reaction with any button. The device will be dead again. If warmed again, the same thing happens ( starts, bootloops on google logo for 3-4 times and dead). I was able to boot once fully but the device was so slow that I could not reach developer option. It only remained there for 15 sec then died again.

This is not normal bootloop problem which everyone is facing since they can turn their device with power button (My power button and volume keys are working). It is also not battery issue since I changed new battery which I bought 2 days ago .

I can enter into bootloader mode when warming the device with hair dryer and can sometime enter into recovery mode .

In brief : Device only boots and gets bootloops when heating and other time when the device cools it's completely dead.
[Nexus 6P General] koliagritskov:
Hello! At me such problem .. Phone began to be rebooted even with a kernel 4core! what to do?
[Nexus 6P General] DevALT:
Did you tried 4cores images?

Applying heat to boot the N6P is basically overheating the CPU so the software automatically shutdown big clusters to cool down the device

I suggest you unlock OEM and bootloader to flash modified boot.img that will prevent A57 clusters to start.

Did you only flashed 4core kernel?

For me flashing the kernel only wasn't working I had to flash boot.img instead

Please try flashing 4coresBoot.img instead of kernel

EDIT : there is alot of video on YouTube showing how to flash ROM/kernel/recovery but if you guys want to I can make a video showing how to fix your BLOD Nexus 6P.

I am also available to modify boot.img for the ROM you want if the modified kernel provided by the OP doesn't work for you

[Nexus 6P General] koliagritskov:
The phone is on! but when it heats up, it starts to leave in the bootloop, when it cools back up again!
[Nexus 6P General] DevALT:
With 4cores flashed?
[Nexus 6P General] koliagritskov:
did not understand what you mean !, download 4core for 8.1 https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673791459329070783

When the phone heats up, it reboots and loads up to the animation and stops and turns off on the animation!
[Nexus 6P General] DevALT:
Have you the corresponding OS that goes with this 4core-boot.img?

BLOD you aren't going to see boot animation, if you doesn't match the boot.img and the Android OS version it will cause bootloop showing boot animation
[Nexus 6P General] koliagritskov:
Да, Android 8.1.0; Сборка — [OPM3.171019.013]

[Nexus 6P General] DevALT:
Please speak in English, as forums rules specifies it and because I have no idea of what language is this, it's seems way more complicated than any computing language :/

Edit :

You need OEM unlock to do this!

1- Flash factory files using flash-all.bat (make sure to extract every .zip folder first)

https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/angler-opm3.171019.013-factory-3204625a.zip

NOTE: YOU WILL LOOSE EVERYTHING ON INTERNAL STORAGE

2- boot device into fastboot (power+volume up) flash 4cores TWRP recovery (using PC)

fastboot flash recovery "TWRP files name.img"

Link to 4cores TWRP 3.2.1.0

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Unma38YDrpwenn6HJctcf8PNaZ2f3m16/view?usp=drivesdk

3- boot into recovery and put modified boot.img on the internal storage

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673791459329070783

4- flash the modified boot.img using TWRP and reboot the device

Follow these steps tell me if that worked

Edit 2: I think the reason why you boot and see the boot animation then reboot is due to a mismatch of boot.img and OS version so try using the links and files I provided you in this post and come back after to tell me if it worked !
[Nexus 6P General] margielamask:
Wow thanks for this, I'm not the person who asked but this solved my issue, it was clearly a mismatch between versions just as you stated on your edit. What would happen if I update android version from now on? should I not update to keep the device alive?
[Nexus 6P General] koliagritskov:
I asked for everything! (only the fourth point did not understand!) In the end, the same thing. When the phone is cold, it works. When a little heat goes into the bootloop!
[Nexus 6P General] swananddeshkar:

[Nexus 6P General] DevALT:
Well everytime you will update you will need a new modified 4cores boot.img for the newer version, you can try using the modified kernel flash it after the update might work but for me it wasn't working

NOS ROM is available in the ROM section of the Device and TWRP 4cores and the 4core NOS boot.img are here

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1CqzDGwjOndSXVoOdRIPVLcMf6Ag10ApN

Did you flashed modified boot.img?

Probably mismatch version between boot.img and Android OS flashing stock Android with flash-all.bat replace the recovery with the stock recovery and no longer 4core reflash modified TWRP with fastboot and flash the correct boot.img for your OS version

This isn't the only change, there is 2 more files into the ramdisk to edit look into the source provided by OP

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1CqzDGwjOndSXVoOdRIPVLcMf6Ag10ApN

Try to mount it via the mount function in TWRP or with terminal command

i have nexus 6p in bootloop and after i viewed error log from recovery mode i figured that there is 8 lines with error:
