[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goister:
OK, I thought wiping /system would just bring it back to factory state. 2 questions now

1. How do I get to recovery when it's always stuck at the Google screen with no adb access? Would I have to wait for the battery to run out (hence turn off), charge it for a while, then use the buttons to boot to recovery, or is there a faster way?

2. I am actually trying to revert to stock ROM (downloaded at https://developers.google.com/android/images#angler) by following step 10 of the Heisenburg guide (https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928) which advises me to use fastboot to flash the individual images. In my case, how do I boot to fastboot?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goister:
OK, so I managed to boot to the bootloader and run the following commands as per the Heisenberg guide (using the stock MTC20L firmware)

fastboot flash bootloader C:\angler\images\bootloader-angler-angler-xx.xx.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio C:\angler\images\radio-angler-angler-xx.xx.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot C:\angler\images\boot.img
fastboot erase cache
(above command is unnecessary on Android 7.1.2 and above)
fastboot flash cache C:\angler\images\cache.img
(above command is unnecessary on Android 7.1.2 and above)
fastboot flash recovery C:\angler\images\recovery.img
fastboot flash system C:\angler\images\system.img
fastboot flash vendor C:\angler\images\vendor.img

Everything was successful, and I did a fastboot reboot after that.

However, my device still doesn't boot up. This time. It's boot loops for a few times before turning off.

I tried booting up to bootloader with power/vol-. Curiously, I can now only do this when cable is connected. If cable is disconnected, the orange LED just blinks once when power button is pressed, and nothing happens. Once cable is connected, then I'm able to boot up to bootloader with the button combination. I then retried the flash process again, but still no go. I noticed after fastboot reboot that the orange LED blinked a few times before rebooting and boot looping.

Kinda stuck now, any ideas?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Face_Plant:
Try booting into recovery and doing a factory reset. I've had that happen to me a few times after flashing factory images and a wipe in recovery always fixed it.

Just for future information: if at any time the device is stuck in a bootloop you can get it to robot into recovery by holding the power and volume down buttons for 10 seconds, or get it to boot into bootloader by holding power and volume up buttons for 10 seconds.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goister:
Thanks. Booting into stock recovery shows an exclamation sign with "no command", since I don't have TWRP anymore. Would I need to first flash TWRP before I can do a factory reset?

I just tried flashing to the same sock firmware as before the problem happened (7.1.2 N2G47W) but still same problem. I notice that after the Google logo disappears and the screen goes blank, the orange LED blinks 10 times before rebooting.

Edit: Tried factory resetting in stock recovery (by holding down power button and pressing vol+), the rebooting after factory reset. Still getting a boot loop.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartpreet:
brother help me! i am facing same issue

first little info abt my device.

my device was running on android nougat with twrp recovery installed but the device was not rooted.

so get back to stock and install oreo I followed every step given on http://www.androidexplained.com/nexus-6p-revert-stock/ but somehow my phone is stuck at bootloop with no recovery installed.

Please help me here.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goister:
As per the Heisenberg guide, if you don't install root (SuperSU or Magisk), TWRP won't stick, so you'll go back to stock recovery.

For me, simply unplugging the USB cable after rebooting after a flash solved my problem. For some reason, if the cable is connected during reboot, it would boot loop.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartpreet:
brother, somehow I managed to install twrp. but everytime I touch it 2-3 times the phone gets switched off.

then it keeps rebooting to 'Google' logo.

can you tell me what should I do now?

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] costage:
Thinking of getting one of these, which one would be a more obvious choice? Need a solid, overall better phone, with long-term stability and good performance. I dont need NFC.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] laymonage:
Wait until Mi A2 comes out, it'll probably be a better choice.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] costage:
But why?

I'm not going to get Mi A2, unless you wanted to tell me that the prices of Mi A1 will drop, but thats uncertain and I need a phone badly because my old one works like a rotten potato now. And I am not willing to pay more for a phone than what A1/G6 currently costs.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] lolmensch:
reasons are treble support, and most likely better hardware. if you are in desperate need go with the a1. Cant comment on the moto g6. I think I read a review about it being too expensive for what it offers but cant remember.

I had the Lg G5 before the Mi A1 and performance wise there is maybe a light drop. It is a bigger difference for games but stuff like pokemon quest is fine and as a daily device I enjoy it.

At least I for myself didn't encounter any bugs, battery is way better than the LG G5. Screen res is good, maybe a little on the dark side for sunny days but other than that no complaints here.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] ProchyGaming:
Hah, treble is here as well. And better hardware ... they stuck a 650 in a phone with 3010 mAh battery, they're crazy as hell

So I wanted to Unroot my Handy with SuperSU and my device is now stuck in a bootloop. I tried to load a new Stock ROM with Odin 3.07 but at the moment it sayed "NAND Write Start!" and nothing more happened for hours. I tried it again and again but nothing happened.

Thank you for everyone who helps me!
[SuperSU] Ibuprophen:
May I ask what a "Handy" is?

It appears to be a Samsung device since you had referenced using Odin for it and, after a quick Google Search, the only reference to it is all (what appears to me) only in German.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Navrot:
Hello everyone,

My phone is encrypted with a scheme and since yesterday it reboot just after asking the scheme to decrypt the data partition during the boot process.

I have the same issue with twrp :

I tried to decrypt with the following command :

adb shell twrp decrypt <password>

and it reboot after theses two lines :

Attempting to decrypt data partition via command line.
Data successfully decrypted, new block device: '/dev/block/dm-0'

the battery is old and i thing that the issue occur since my phone turned down due to low battery while booting.

The phone is running LOS 15.1 and TWRP 3.2.2.

Do you think there is a way to make it boot or at least to recover the data ?

thx :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
After it successfully decrypted, did you try connecting the device to the charger to finish the boot procedure?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Navrot:
Yes, i tried with and without the charger.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
If you believe the battery to be the cause, then the obvious thing to do is replace the battery. Then try and boot up.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Navrot:
Sorry for not being clear, i do not believe that my battery is preventing my phone to boot.

My phone went off once during boot because of the battery. Since this event i have this issue. But now it's not because of the battery if my phone restart when i try to decrypt my data partition.

English is not my native language so i'm sorry if i'm not understandable :/.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
It sounds like the data is corrupted because of the device shutting off in the middle of decrypting. You may have little choice here but to perform a factory reset.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
Do I understand correctly? You can boot into TWRP, but not into the OS?

Can you make a nandroid of the boot, system and data partitions? Can you make a separate nandroid of the user data partition? If so, I would do both those things then try dirty flashing the ROM again. Maybe there was a file corruption when the device crashed.

If you can not boot the phone not get into recovery, I guess it's possible the EEMC has died.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
[MENTION=6617276]ktmom[/MENTION]: I don't think he can, which would make my advice about the factory reset impossible. His eMMC chip I don't think is gone, just corrupted. Restoring from a factory image, assuming he can still get into the bootloader and assuming he didn't re-lock the bootloader, should get him back in order.

If it doesn't, then you're right and I'm not. ?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Navrot:
I tried a dirty install but it doesn't help so i made a factory reset and a clean install and now it works (but obviously i lost my data ^^).

I made a copy of the data partition before wip if one day i have the motivation to find a way to decrypt it on my computer (https://bits-please.blogspot.com/2016/06/extracting-qualcomms-keymaster-keys.html seems to be a good start).

thanks you for your help :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
Did you make a back up of data or internal storage (user data)? The data partition is where things like settings, play store app and the like are. Your files, photos, music and the like are in internal storage, the user data partition.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Navrot:
i made a backup of user-data ... i hope :)

I used this command :

adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0p42 ./userdata.img

The resulting file is 56 GB which is consistent with the amount of data i had.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koopaling:
So my xperia z1, whilst in my pocket, broke as I rested a pretty heavy dumbbell on my thigh. The screen is mostly black except for some rgb pixel "stripes".

I need to recover some text documents from it but that's about it. I tried mirroring it with Vysor, but it didn't detect the phone so I suppose that USB debugging is off.

I downloaded flasthool and it detects the phone but I'm not completely sure what flashing the phone is going to do, will it wipe the files?

If it doesn't wipe document files and also enables usb debugging that would be great, but I'm not sure what it does so I don't want to take the risk yet. Can anyone shed some light on how I can retrieve those files?

[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] BasicallyCP:
Isn't that a good point to actually use screen protectors? They hardly add thickness or weight and if you would ever get scratches, you can just replace them.

As for how the gg5 received its scratch, we may never know. I'm not an expert on the "hardness" of everyday dust, sand or other materials but there surely is a way to even scratch the hardest glass on the planet given the right conditions. Some trade-offs will be involved when designing materials that are scratch resistant, flexible, clear, easy to clean and apply, long-lasting, cheap to produce, oleophobic, heat-resistant, etc. all at the very same time.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Capensis:
Hi all,

I am trying to start the android emulator with the stock firmware package: G930FXXU1DQAN_G930FFTM1DQAD_FTM.zip.

This package is for Android 7.0.0_r1 and for the Samsung Galaxy S7 (heolte) European/German version.

I unzipped it and located fin AP/boot.img the zImage, ramdisk.img(or ramdisk.cpio.gz) and the system.img .

The android emulator uses the kernel-ranchu, ramdisk.img and system.img to start.

My virtual device profile is ARM64 with the Samsung Galaxy S7 profile settings from a guide and the samsung/developer page.

If I start the emulator from the cmdline with the default files:

emulator @ARM64 -kernel kernel-ranchu -system system.img -ramdisk ramdisk.img -no-snapshot-load -memory 4096

the emulator boots like it should do.

If I change kernel, system, ramdisk and start the emulator with the cmd:

emulator @ARM64 -kernel zImage -system system.img -ramdisk ramdisk.img -no-snapshot-load -memory 4096

the cmd returns with this error message:

1) aarch64 and ARM64 are used so this should be no problem.

2) Maybe?! But the zImage looks fine(inspected with binwalk)

3) It is a zImage/kernel without changes

I looked in the forum section but there is no comparable thread.

Is there any misunderstanding from my side?

Is the emulator with this stock package in this way bootable?

Or do I have to modify the zImage?

Every help or hint is appreciated, Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Delgoth:
I don't believe the S7 Kernel can actually load a standard google system.img though. Does the SS Kernel have a ranchu init like it does on the older S6 exynos ramdisks? Because on the G920/5 the kernel came with files as to potentially boot it from qemu such as, fstab.goldfish, init.goldfish.rc, and ueventd.goldfish.rc.

But this was on the Exynos SoC line, I never noticed anything like this on the Snapdragon variants.

The Stock firmware on those S6 devices have options available to technically be booted up with an aarch64 QEMU/Emulator, but the mobile device mobo prevents this with the stock configuration.

I still feel that even today, we could still take an ARM64-v8a QEMU and have the stock firmware options changed in order to be booted in an emulator, I swear I've seen it done at least once.

But the Samsung Kernel expects to load up the Samsung System Image. SS has modified a lot of the AOSP code, and is why many of their devices still cannot load an AOSP system image even with Project Treble.

But if you can essentially get the QEMU bootloader to load up the SS Kernel and system image, there should be no reason it won't work. It'd be nice if I could even figure out how to get the sboot to load up in QEMU for a full hardware virtualization.

Because that is one my goals still, to load up the G925 or N920 FW into QEMU to look through in a more safe environment.

I may be wrong, because I'm pretty much guessing.. but I think that has something to do with it..

Modify the kernel to fit the firmware.. or perhaps vice versa.. one I'm sure is a lot harder.... there's always an easy way :P
