[Q] OTA update.zip - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone have an OTA update.zip? I've got a bricked N7 that will not successfully boot after flashing back to stock, custom ROMs or after flashing factory images. Last thing to try is to see if the stock recovery will flash an official update.zip.

Boot into stock recovery and do a wipe

Yeah, I've already been through all of that. I can flash back to stock using any of the factory images and it still results in a never ending boot animation loop. ADB, using any of the kits out there, it doesn't matter.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I've already been there done that more times that I can count. At least now I know ADB like the back of my hand. I've flashed stock and relocked the bootloader and have a replacement coming this week. I've truly bricked an unbrickable device.

Stock Recovery will not Flash

Hey guys I could really use some help...I have twrp recovery but unfortuunately when i try to flash stock recoveryy back, it will not change. I have tried fastboot, nexus toolkit by wug, flashify, image flash gui, etc. Do you guys have any suggestions? Thanks so much!
Are you still unlocked or did you relock?

I don't think twrp recovery has the option to restore recovery (or I might have missed it last time I looked)
Are you doing
fastboot flash recovery stock-recovery.img

update: after some testing It looks like the stock recovery file in the sticky above is actually twrp recovery...if someone can upload the real stock recovery file that would be great

I've found three recoveries floating around on the forum so far. Two are in this thread -- one is in the first (1st) post under the "recovery" subtitle and the second is in the seventh (7th) post.
The other one is in this post. You have to download the Nexus_7_Restore_F.zip file and unzip it. Once you do that you will find a recovery.img file in it.
Hope one of these works. My bet is the last one will at the very least. Let us know how it turns out for you.
Thank you so much I'll let you know! Ah it looks like the stock kernel is in the last one too that's good..hopefully sometime soon we can get factory images to make things easier haha

I tried flashing all of the above. With the third one (contained within the Nexus_7_Restore_F.zip), when I reboot to recovery, I get the Android with the red exclamation mark, no go. So I manually flashed TWRP back. It seems that until we get an official factory image from Google (if ever), we're stuck on TWRP. Unless there's something I haven't considered.

Unless I'm mistaken the Android with a red exclamation is what you should see if you have the stock recovery installed...which means it was successful. At that point there is some combination of buttons that must be pressed to restore the recovery but I don't remember what it is (I think it might be Vol up + Power but I don't know for certain so I wouldn't try that until someone else confirms it).

Stock Nandroid won't boot

Two days after owning this phone I had the dreaded bent metal issue near the volume button. I flashed pure nexus on it though and I'm trying to get it back to stock before I take it back into bestbuy to get a new one. My stock nandroid backup fully flashes but it won't boot. All I see is the google logo.
Any ideas? I know I can fb flash the stock, but that's so much more of a process. Plus, it doesn't make sense to me that it wouldn't work... -_-

Did you have a modified boot.img(dm verity checks removed) for you're stock back up. Cuz stock will not boot from twrp if you don't have a modified boot.img. you need dm verity removed in order to use twrp.

Hmm I don't think that was in the guide I read. So cool. So if I simply restored my nandroid and then flashed a custom kernel it would be fixed?
So that means the only way to really return to full stock is to fastboot flash it?

PLEASE HELP!!! Phone stuck in bootloop, will not boot. Will not boot into recovery.

I've had my Moto X Pure for over a few months now. After rooting it, i installed TWRP 3.0.2 and have had different roms and not come across any problems regarding a hard brick. I was using my phone on the CM 13 Rom, and it was bugging out, so i tried to reboot. After trying to reboot, it would come to the WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED SCREEN and not boot past that, let alone get into the actual loading screen. Now, i cant boot into twrp. When i try to enter recovery mode, it goes to the TWRP screen, and sits there without proceeding. I cant boot the phone, or boot into recovery. I can only boot into the bootloader. ANY AND EVERY ADVICE IS APPRECIATED THANK YOU!!!
Edit: I fixed it. had to manually extract and reflash some files from a very useful restore to stock tool.

Can you get it into fastboot mode? If you can, it sounds like somehow the recovery is corrupt and you would need to use 'fastboot erase recovery' first, and then 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' (using the twrp .img flashable file of course)
I hope that does the trick. Only think I can think of other than that is look for the automated return to stock tool for the moto x 2015 and use that.
thanks

I honestly have no idea what the problem was. But i downloaded and used someones lollipop restore to stock tool, literally restoring to the original state you got the phone in, and it worked. I believe it had something to do with the rom, and possibly some xposed modules i had installed, but there was nothing that actually messed around with the phone's system files. I couldn't access recovery in anyway whatsoever, but my advice to you is that if you ever need help because the phone is potentially hard-bricked, see if it connects to PC and if it does use the restore to stock tool.

Nothing it just vibrates as soon as i hit factory reset then bootloops now it wont even go into recovery just fastboot screen but cant get fastboot to work at all and have all drivers android studio etc. Nothing will work need a new solution
It was hash kernel it corrupted all 64 gigs of storage and music etc. Had to return to stock via auto flash firmware.
Mine is XT1572 device. Since the mentioned tool was not available for this model, I took the chance with XT1575 tool. It did all the steps but the issue has become worse. Now, my device is automatically getting On and OFF in seconds and does not boot beyond the bootloader 'unlocked' warning screen. Please please please help !!!!

Bootloop Help After Trying To Root 7.1.1

So I flashed the 7.1.1 update and everything was fine. I then tried to root through TWRP with the most recent version of recovery and and SuperSu and when I went to reboot it would get to the "Google" splash screen and go back to the warning. I then tried to restore to my Nandroid that I made right before the 7.1.1 flash but it does the same thing. I ended up doing a factory reset, still looping. I tried flashing an old firmware but it still would loop. I got desperate and did a full wipe and then flashed the old firmware from September's update but it still will not boot. I'm a long time lurker I just don't post much. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Well if you cant access twrp then your not flashing anything; did you try downloading the latest Nexus 6p factory image and using adb to flash it?? If you need help with that I can lay it out for you. Also there was an efs partition issue with twrp 3.0.2-1 and down so make sure your twrp is 3.0.2-2!

Make sure your using twrp 3.0.2-2; and download the latest factory image for the Nexus 6p (NBD90X) and use adb (fastboot) to flash that whole thing. Extract the files to your android sdk platform tools folder then run the flash-all.bat file. (If you are using a 64gb or 128gb device DONT DO THIS) Only do this with the 32gb model.

Newest image didn't work either..
Have you tried WugFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit? Not sure if it will work for your situation, but it has an option to restore to factory settings and unroot if you're soft-bricked or bootlooped. Might be worth a shot if everything else isn't working.
FWIW, I successfully updated to 7.1.1 NPF10C and rooted by using fastboot to flash bootloader, radio, boot, system, and vendor. Then used TWRP 3.0.2-2 to flash SuperSU 2.78 SR1. No issues.

Bricked, bootloop tried all I can think of

I was on the last beta n4f26t, and flash TWRP successfully, then went to flash superSU from twrp, this when wrong and everything goes downhill from here. I tried flashing back the last update, in it's entirety following the Heisenberg guide for returning to stock didn't work, tried flashing twrp again still can't get into recovery (just boot loops) I tried a previous update NMF26F and got to the dead android recovery screen but when I tried to flash back the OTA nothing happened and went back to bootloop on reboot. I've used the nexus root kit and still nothing. What can I do to fix this? I've honestly looked up every resource I could think of before posting this here. really hoping I didn't perma brick my 6P

Hello... So now you only have access to the bootloader Or bootloader and stock recovery?
If your bootloader is unlocked, you can try:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot format userdata
Of course it will wipe your internal storage...

I would concentrate on trying to get a working recovery first. Almost everyone who lost recovery mode never got their phone back- classic BLOD. First try fastboot FORMATTING recovery and then both fastboot flash twrp, and then fastboot boot twrp. If you can get a working recovery there may be hope. If you can never boot to recovery mode, I think you are done. From your bootloader screen, what is your bl version?

BL: angler-03.6.7

I see all normal BL options and I flashed it with the nexus root kit and used https://developer.android.com/preview/download-712.html this image
I know with older versions of TWRP there was a problem with the EFS partition that contains the IMEI info. What version of twrp are you using??? I thought I bricked my Nexus 6p after restoring a backup but it was actually just me screwing up my EFS partition. The newer versions of twrp (i think 3.0.3 and up) fixed this problem. Still though, if it is that, and you flash a new twrp version it won't fix your problem. If you have the time search through the forum for the EFS partition fix. I don't know the commands off the top of my head but I know this helped a lot of people. Worth a shot.

OK, but when you try to boot to recovery, it bootloops? Never goes to recovery? Try the steps above to successfully flash the recovery partition using fastboot. I suppose you can use NRT, but download the latest version of TWRP and try both flashing and booting the twrp.img.
same boat
anxious to hear results: I can't get to recovery and am bootlooping - tried a bunch of things using Nexus Root Toolkit . Curiously enough earlier when I was trying to flash an older version or ressurection remix, even my TWRP would bootloop so I couldn't flash anything without it quitting - anyone ever hear of that happening?

OK, but when you try to boot to recovery, it bootloops? Never goes to recovery? Try the steps above to successfully flash the recovery partition using fastboot. I suppose you can use NRT, but download the latest version of TWRP and try both flashing and booting the twrp.img.

I have flashed TWRP 3.1 and I can not boot into recovery, I flashed it manually with fastboot flash recovery "image"

Hey... Did you try to boot TWRP?
From bootloader: fastboot boot twrp.img
If this fails and you only have access to the bootloader, i think you are SOL.
Good luck...

Yep from bootloader:
fastboot boot TWRP.img
I don't have any other idea sorry...
You can try to contact Google or Huawei. Even being out of warranty, some people have had their device replaced.
Good luck...

Are you able to get into recovery and adb sideload a stock OTA from the google developer website? That's always saved me when I've had problems.

Guess you didn't read the rest of the the thread...
We don't need more posts about bootloop. There is a main topic that has been discussed for multiple pages:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/help/boot-loop-death-nexus-6p-t3533528
I personally had the issue and had to RMA the phone. I suggest you do the same.
