Issue unlocking bootloader - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I finally received my device yesterday and I've attempted to unlock the bootloader multiple times.
*Developer options are on, OEM unlock and USB debug are on, all drivers are up to date. I even disabled my password in case this was affecting it
Manual Unlock via CP: My device is recognized and all commands are accepted. After I enter "fastboot flash unlock" my device never asks me to confirm, I get a listing of options on in CP but nothing happens on the device.
Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit: Recognizes the device and brings device through all steps but I'm never prompted to confirm anythings after the "fastboot flash unlock" command is entered, seconds later it reboots.

The command is "fastboot oem unlock"

Thank you, I just tried again using "fastboot oem unlock" and I still get no prompt to confirm. Should I be using another command after the oem unlock to verify my device wipe?
This is what i get in CP:

No its not

I did read in these forums the new command prompt for the Nexus 6p is fastboot flash unlock. Has anyone experienced anything similar? Enter the correct commands but you are not prompted to accept or decline the device wipe?

Unless you have something useful to say, simply disagreeing doesn't help anyone.
If thats not the command then what is the command? That has always been the command. If it has changed on the new nexus then old guys like me are open to being corrected with the updated info.

Sry I don't have mine yet. Have to wait til Xmas to play with mine. I have always used the fastboot oem unlock before so I am new to the whole fastboot flash unlock. I assume it should be working the same way as before though.

The new command is
fastboot flashing unlock

No Keyboard

I know this is 100% my fault but I was hoping that maybe the genius of XDA could help me out here.
1. Was using phone fine earlier.
2. Flashed Cyanogen 5.0.2
3. Flashed the newest radio version that Cyanogen linked in that thread
4. Didn't test
5. Started playing with 'fastboot oem' commands
6. Gave up tried to send a text message
7. No keybaord
8. Long press -> Input type -> nothing listed
9. Settings -> Keyboard and locale -> nothing about the keyboard.
10. Reflashed latest Cyanogen image
11. Still not working
I think during my fun of fastboot commands I screwed something up. The phone works perfect except I don't have a keyboard, the keypad in the dialer still works. Apparently somewhere along the line I lost my nandroid backup (yes, I know fail on me) I am currently looking for a keyboard app on the web that has a QR code so that I can install a 3rd party one from market. Will let you know how that goes.

Here are all of the commands that I have run since I last closed the CMD window.
Update: I have found the HTC Touch input APK and installed that on my phone. I can now long press input type and select touch input but whenever the keyboard should be coming up I get a force close. I know that on my G1 the HTC Touch input was iffy at best so I am still looking for another solution.
Another update: Got 'Better Keyboard' it works! (yay!) but when I goto click on the voice input it does not. I checked my search widget and the microphone icon is missing from there as well.
Someone posted their nandroid backup of a completely (rooted) stock n1 rom, search around for it and try installing it. I ran accross it while looking for tutorials on how to flash the stock N1 rom if that helps
Update: NOOOO!!!!!!! I did a full wipe from the bootloader (factory restore, dalvik-cache, rotate settings, and what ever that 4th one was and reinstalled cyanogen mod 5.0.2) bad news: all of my settings and applications are gone, as well as my customer ringtones. Very very sad day.
Oh yea, fixed the keyboard issue and the voice input issue. So I guess we can count this as win
Should have backed up your apps with astro or titanium
Oh I had a titanium backup, I just had to reinstall them all, and reset their locations on the home screens, and reset all of my ringtones and notification tones a process that takes a whole 5 - 10 min.

[Q] Can't find SD card after flash

I just flashed the CM 6.1 rom to my legend, and not it can't find my SD card. I made a backup in rommanager (of my old rom) before i flashed, but when i enter rommanger it writes that my SD card has to mounted. So can't really install a new rom from there.
I can get into recovery, but when i run the recovery-windows.bat from my comp, nothing happends. Adb can't find my device, but fastboot can.
My SD cards work everywhere else, and i have formated it.
i have also tried with other SD cards that i have used before, but none of them have worked.
I have tried to follow this guide:

Happens sometimes when u try to flash a rom on your device.
Your phone has bricked, u now need to learn how to unbrick it.
Search the forums for how to unbrick, im sure u gonna be able to find a solution.
peace
ps don't worry its solvable
Thanks, now at least i know what is wrong
tried to follow the howto USB Unbrink-thread (mentioned it in first post) and as i said i cant even get past "step one"
I'll keep searching

[GUIDE] Help for flash more faster when you use fastboot line command

HELP FOR FLASH MORE FASTER WHEN YOU USE FASTBOOT LINE COMMAND​
If you have got a problem with your adb or fastboot or recovery....it's very simply and faster
use this:
Download this file "fastboot.zip" or this tool : platform-tools.zip - md5: 15e771613370afe3c70e0be1454d2ef1 - size: 346.8KB
Install this file somewhere in one folder which is named "fastboot" on your PC
=> disk C: root
Unzipped this file on the folder "fastboot" and you will find 3 files:
- adb.exe
- AdbWinApi.dll
- fastboot.exe
OR
Unzipped this file on the folder "platform-tools" and you will find 11 files:
- aapt
- adb
- AdbWinApi.dll
- AdbWinUsbApi.dll
- aidl
- dexdump
- llvm-rs-cc
- fastboot
- dx
- NOTICE
- source.properties
and when you need to push something by the bootloader, you can use it.
Don't forget to push on this folder the file that you need. For exemple: boot.img or a recovery.img, etc...
CD to where your fastboot or platform tools were installed
The line command is :
Code:
[B]C:\Users\R2D2>cd c:\platform-tools[/B]
Code:
[B]C:\platform-tools>[/B]
OR
Code:
[B]C:\Users\R2D2>cd c:\fastboot[/B]
Code:
[B]C:\fastboot>[/B]
Enter
Code:
[B]C:\fastboot>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img[/B]
Enter
If you want to flash the "recovery.img" file

You have to be using the latest version of fastboot, so you should update your sdk

Your issue is the version of Fastboot you are using. Just search for Minimal ADB and use that tool instead.

cant get rid of bootloader screen after returning to stock

When I flash my 2017u back to stock 6.0 then update to 7.1.1 this screen on bootup is still present. I also cannot seem to get fastboot to work to lock the bootloader either.
Any help appreciated
Excuse the pic quality it's taken with my backup i9505 s4
Try to go into fastboot using "adb reboot bootloader" or using the volume keys to go into fastboot. After that you should be able to use "adb oem lock" to lock the bootloader and you will no longer see that message when you boot.
Thanks. Will give a try again on the weekend when I Qualcomm firehose it back to stock again. Cheers

Hi, I managed to have a play with the phone using the edl tool, the axon7 toolkit and even adb 15 second installer. No command i have tried on B29 MM will lock the bootloader.
The 5 second screen is still there on boot and shows unlocked. I went upto N B15 and the OEM is greyed out but still a 5 second screen. So reverted back to MM B29 for now and hope someone can help me.
Edit - I've tried flashing stock images with axon 7 edl tool and some success in flashing stock but it still leaves me with the 5second screen I've tried now to inject twrp in a stock image to then hopefully flash the remove 5 second screen g and u zip but I get stuck with an encrypted drive and needing to enter a password thus unable to put the zip on the phone to flash with twrp 3.2.3.0

Hi, I managed to have a play with the phone using the edl tool, the axon7 toolkit and even adb 15 second installer. No command i have tried on B29 MM will lock the bootloader.
The 5 second screen is still there on boot and shows unlocked. I went upto N B15 and the OEM is greyed out but still a 5 second screen. So reverted back to MM B29 for now and hope someone can help me.
Edit - I've tried flashing stock images with axon 7 edl tool and some success in flashing stock but it still leaves me with the 5second screen I've tried now to inject twrp in a stock image to then hopefully flash the remove 5 second screen g and u zip but I get stuck with an encrypted drive and needing to enter a password thus unable to put the zip on the phone to flash with twrp 3.2.3.0

because you didn't allow oem unlocking?
OEM unlocking allowed. I'm now back on Los 16 for the time being. OEM unlocking before greyer out saying my bootloader is already unlocked. It just will not lock and edl will not lock it either
There is a method by @raystef66 where u can "hide" this notification.

Yea I'm not that desperate to hide it no more. I flashed stock android 8 and couldn't get it to stop encrypting the data partition with twrp so I gave up. I'm back on Los 16 with a new battery and that will do.
I'm not going to buy a razer phone 2 this year so this axon will have to do. Just got to order a new speaker as my bottom loud speaker just doesn't work. The plastic cover and the springs arms are intact just nothing coming from it.
Cheers for the replies guys. Was thinking of trading the phone in at CEX here in the UK and then move to my dual Sim Samsung s7. But since the Axon defeated me I'll keep it for now and maybe get shot of the Samsung instead.

When I flash my 2017u back to stock 6.0 then update to 7.1.1 this screen on bootup is still present. I also cannot seem to get fastboot to work to lock the bootloader either.
Any help appreciated

you need to flash original stock rom for your device trough edl. (rom your device came from factory,marshmallow)
then boot into system,unlock developer options.Allow oem unlock and turn on usb debugging.Now connect phone to laptop and check the dialogue on your phone that ask for usb debug.Unplug phone.
When you did this you want to flash TWRP trough EDL.
Now boot in TWRP and flash UnlockbootloaderPackage from DrakenFX.
Reboot system.
Now turn off your device and boot into fastboot,connect your phone with laptop and open ADB terminal on your laptop or use Axon7toolkit.
In terminal enter fastboot oem lock,or in axon7toolkit choose lock bootloader.
Your bootloader is now locked.
PS: you dont need locked bootloader to recieve ota's,and make sure you are on the firmware your device came shipped with!!
You need a locked bootloader to get rid of the warning message ( dont flash any mod package that claims it delete the warning page)

Ok the recovery says that it's on 6.0.1 and nothing changes ever. Tried flashing b15 N and nope still recovery says 6.0.1.
I tried updating via ADB and sdcard. Neither works. Two different updates also that I downloaded.
I did the factory reset, still same problem. No service on SIM and WiFi Mac is still 02:00:00 etc.
Just spent an hour on my driving break in my truck and nothing had worked.

No I used axon 7 edl tool.
So today I tried and tried and gave up flashing b15 N. I had a go with b32 N instead. However after flashing I didn't select yes on the edl tool to reboot instead going for a cable unplug and forced reboot holding the power button. I tried to boot into recovery which yielded a double flash of the red led and then nothing else. Blank screen and no led. I tried rebooting again to recovery and voila. 7.1.1 recovery loaded.
Not taking a chance I factory resetted and now have a fully stock axon 7 with a locked bootloader.
Many thanks to those who helped me but I'm going to part with this phone and return to a Nexus 6p that needs a new battery and a dual SIM exynos s7 for my axon 7 lineage os replacement.
