I'm not sure if this is the right spot for this thread, if it isn't please move to correct forum. I was unrooting my nexus 6P, and I mistakenly wiped everything off my phone before recovery. So I lost my recovery image. I have never done that before and now I am in a boot loop. I can still access the recovery page and TWRP. Can someone help out? It is saying I don't have a factory image. Hopefully this can be fixed..

This isn't my first android root but I'm stuck. I followed the video for rooting my Nexus 10. Got stuck in a boot loop but was able to flash cwm but still in boot loop. I tried doing the factory reset and now cwm is gone too and still stuck in boot loop. I tried reflashing cwm. When I try to access recovery I get the red triangle with ! on it. And I'm stuck in boot loop. I went here and tried to reflash recovery.img and no joy. Still no recovery access and no boot. ((
accidentally posted this in the samsung nexus forum #whoops
Boot back into recovery and press all 3 buttons (power, vol +, vol -) simultaneously until the menu comes up. The timing has to be very exact so don't worry if it takes 10+ tries. Then select factory reset and it should boot up properly.
I never could get CMW to stay. So I flashed TWRP as the recovery instead. Also follow wireroid advice about getting out of boot loop. If you want to SEE that method, check out the rooting N10 vid on youtube by qbking777.
some progress!
Ok I got back into the tablet with wireroid help YAH!!
I have a system update pending but when I tried to install it I got the red! with 'no command' ... after a near heart attack I did the factory reset again and got back to where I was before.
Now I need pointed in the right direction. So right now I'm unlocked but that's it. I have no custom recovery and presumably no su access because all I successfully did was unlock the bootloader.
I downloaded the nexux10 toolkit. Do I need to flash a recovery first? Do I try CMW again or go with TWRP? I've only used CMW in the past.
Do I ignore this Jelly Bean system update for now??

Try this toolkit by Wugfresh. http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/
It's what I used and I went from locked and stock to unlocked, rooted, and with TWRP as my recovery in less than 15 minutes. I unlocked and rooted my GNex the "old-fashioned" way but wanted something easier for my N10.
Also, here's a YouTube video from QBKing77 walking you through the process using the above toolkit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtLvlrUDB04&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Since you're already unlocked you should be able to just skip to the part where root and a custom recovery are flashed (you'll end up with TWRP but you can always download ROM Manager and flash ClockworkMod if that's your preference).
Good luck.
I ran MSkip toolkit and it repaired everything. I got a failed on renaming my recovery images so my stock recovery images are just gone I guess? Anyway I'm good. Rooted and repaired thanks to Skips toolkit.
Thanks for all the help!

Hey guys, I'm a longtime XDA browser but hardly ever post. I have the MXPE rooted with the newest TWRP build and has been running great since I got it. last night flashed the Deodexed 6.0 build from AICPs 5.1.1. I had some issues with the SD card being mounted as internal storage and erasing something so I tried to flash back to stock as my nandroids weren't seen as usable.
Long story short when I flashed back to stock, the recovery would never take. I've flashed the stock recovery and twrp to no avail. For some reason it wont actually stick. Everything else is back to stock but that. When I used the win toolkit and tried to flash twrp again it said something about the folder locations so I'm wondering if I messed something in the partitions.
Question is, have you guys ran into this issue or have any insight on where to go from here? I've looked around but I couldn't find a post that the same as this issue. As a side note, I can get into the bootloader just fine.
I appreciate any info that someone can provide.
Flash twrp. Reboot back to recovery from recovery. Reboot system.
Hopefully it's that easy. Stock os flashes stock recovery on boot. Rebooting recovery from recovery prevents that from happening.
From TWRP:
"Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot.... Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install."

Thanks for the info ffejy462. What happens when I try to flash TWRP and it doesnt stick? I know for a fact that I can boot into it temporarily with fastboot boot and the recovery file. Should I just flash it from there?

I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner. Flash recovery with fastboot. Boot into recovery. From reboot menu in recovery, select reboot recovery. Twrp will patch so recovery isn't lost again.

That did it. thanks alot ffejy462!
I was on DP2, with root and unofficial twrp-3.0.2-3-angler(previous versions had problems). And had google assistant too with modified build.prop. Today I flashed a zip file for pixel features. But after reboot, it stuck on the new pixel boot animation. I then applied a rollback zip file, now it is showing the old boot animation, but still stuck. I have wiped cache/dalvik.
I had a password set during boot. Previously, it used to ask for password, but not now. TWRP is now showing unable to mount storage. I don't know where the problem is. Is it the boot password? Please help. Thanks in advance.
Importantly if I wish to flash factory image, then can I flash the final build of 7.1.1(NMF26F)? Earlier I was on DP2. (npf26f).
Yesterday my phone shut off at 35% and when I plugged it in and tried turning it on it just suck on the logo.
I tried restoring to a working backup and it was still stuck.
In the end I download the factory files from google and flashed the phone clean with the flash-all.bat(pulled my files to the pc from twrp first) and it fixed the issue.
Now I'm just contemplating if to try and restore the backup from when it got stuck or start fresh.

i loaded the TWRP but when it boot to TWRP i cannot swipe or not responding. now i rebooted the system and reset the phone. it went back to TWRP.
what are my options?
The TWRP build is in alpha stages and currently has no touch and encryption support. Were you trying to root? If so, the instructions do not require you to actually do anything from within TWRP phone-side. Also, if your device isn't booting, you may find it helpful to reflash the stock boot image for your build, which can be acquired from the factory images posted in the development section.
