Nexus 10 does not boot after Update

After attempt at installing software update to Nexus 10 tablet will not boot. Have wiped Cache and even then did a factory reset. Nothing. Google appears and then twirling colorful dots and nothing. For hours just twirling dots., Samsung and Google and Best Buy geeks says nothing they can do. No longer under warranty but very upset since tablet was working great until update. I am not very tech savvy but can anyone help or do I just have a new paperweight? Thanks for any advice.
I have not made any modifications to the tablet.

Just flash the newest factory image. Get it and the instructions to flash it from here:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

yes flash the newest image

After getting a notification of the latest update I went and rebooted for the update to install but it went to the twrp recovery and nothing happens, is there a way to install the update?

Hi Khaon, I have stock lollipop version 5.1.1 . (LMY47V) and latest twrp version. When upgrading it restarts and goes to recoverys main screen.
BTW how can I check which version my bootloader is?

same problem

as a newbie .I'm not allowed to reference your link !!
I rooted my nexus 10 using xda instructions., installed CWM. All good. I tried backup and recovery and screwed something up in recovery. Got stuck in recovery mode reboot loop. Many gyrations, no fix, so I tried factory reset. Still no fix.
I decided to install a new version of the OS using the Mantaray tar you reference above. UBS connecting and fastboot. All messages look good. Now I have the problem reported in this thread. Stuck with flying balls and no boot. Very interested in any suggestions you may have.

So you keep just boot looping into twrp, right ?
Did you try installing a custom ROM through adb or just connecting your device?
If it keeps boot looping you gotta to wipe the full storage.

No, on a normal reboot or a shutdown/restart it's fine no problems there but when I try to install the update via system update it reboots into twrp. I attach a pic of my system.

Oh I see, well, you should just flash a custom ROM or if you want to stay with official factory images, you should just follow instruction there:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
What you do need is just have fastboot executable once you are into the bootloader.
You can easily access the bootloader from twrp : shutdown > reboot into booatloader

Cool thx for your continued help :good:

The problem is due to your attempting an OTA update with a custom recovery (TWRP). You can only do OTA with stock recovery. Once you are in this situation, your easiest way out of it is to simply apply the latest factory image using "fastboot", but this will also wipe your user data so backup any photos, music, etc. before you start. You will also have to reload programs from Playstore once the new image is installed.

Your device is corrupt. It cant be trusted and may not work properly. FIXED!

*** NOTE: Please excuse my English.
*** WARNING: I'm not responsible if anything happens to your device, I'm just sharing my experience and what I did to fix my own phone. Proceed at your own RISK.
I bought my Nexus 6p 64gb and as soon as I took it out of the box, I went directly and followed the guide here. So i unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP as a custom recovery, flashed CM13 + OpenGapps.
I noticed that every time I boot my device I get this warning:
Your device is corrupt. It can’t be
trusted and may not work properly.
Visit this link on another device:
go.co/ABH
and it does not seem to be a normal warning because when my OS boots up it shows me this
"Android system:
There’s an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details"
Later on when I updated to the latest nightly image my camera crashes and doesn't function properly. I also already has an issue with Bluetooth and "Bluetooth share" crashing but that was unrelated. Anyways I was crippled in my day to day usage. Then I thought that I need to fix this asap because it might cause performance/security/hardware problems in the future.
So basically the fix is you should flash the latest bootloader image and radio image. Personally I wanted to start clean and make sure I have no corrupted files so here is what I did,
1. What i did is erase all boot, system, kernel & recovery files by typing the below command using fastboot just incase they were corrupted,
(Note: YOU DONT NEED TO DO THIS STEP, but i prefer starting clean incase i had some corrupted files. YOU WILL ALSO LOSE ENCRYPTION DOING THE FIRST STEP)
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
Source: http://devs-lab.com/...i-nexus-6p.html
2. Then i flashed the latest factory images in this sequence using fastboot, which can be found here: https://developers.g...s/images#angler
(Note: 6.0.1 (MMB29M) was latest image at the time i did this. For people who are doing this for the first time, then you just need to download the image then extract the needed files from it)
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-angler-angler-xx.xxx.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-angler-angler-xx.xx.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot format userdata
fastboot reboot
Source: http://forum.xda-dev...operly-t3268407
3. From there i reflashed TWRP using fastboot, then flashed the latest beta SuperSU v2.62 at the time, and then CM13, then OpenGapps, then again reflashed SuperSU v2.62 just incase, lol. (Do not flash the version of SuperSU that TWRP offers to flash for you in order to give you root, it is not compatible and will cause problems. When using TWRP before you've actually flashed SuperSU 2.50+, when you attempt to reboot out of TWRP it will tell you that it's detecting that you don't have root and it will offer to root for you, skip past this.)
What got fixed ?
-FIXED, this won't show up anymore:
Your device is corrupt. It can’t be
trusted and may not work properly.
Visit this link on another device:
go.co/ABH
-FIXED, this won't show up anymore:
Android system:
There’s an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details.
-FIXED, Camera is working !
-NOT FIXED, "Bluetooth share" still crashes but I think its unrelated to this issue.
Hope this helps everyone as it helped me, thanks.

Followed your guide, thanks, but the message "Your device is corrupt. It can’t betrusted and may not work properly." still appears during a CM boot.
The message "There’s an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details" appears when I boot into recovery (TWRP)
The camera is working now.
Also, before I was able to flash CM-13 I had to do "WIPE >> Format Data" from TWRP, otherwise CM was exiting with error 7.
The following packages were used:
original 6.0.1 (MMB29P) factory image
BETA-SuperSU-v2.66-20160103015024.zip
cm-13.0-20160115-NIGHTLY-angler.zip
open_gapps-arm64-6.0-micro-20160115.zip
twrp-2.8.7.2-angler.img
I also noticed that when rebooting into factory image, the same warning message appears as well.
Any way to fix it or did I do something wrong?

Why are people trying to fix an non issue? To get rid of the message you need to relock the bootloader which is more of a risk if your rooted. Its a message that only appears for a few seconds when you reboot and you don't need to do anything to get past it.
There is no corruption and the phone is trusted by YOU as you unlocked it and nothing else cares. Where is the issue?

It's just telling you what you already know. You modified your system partition yourself so don't worry about it.

Thanks. I read it in the original Heisenberg's unlock guide and was surprised when I read this post that it was possible to get rid of the warning message without locking the bootloader .

I'm new here in the forum's..I usually just read and carry on..the one think I'd like to say is..I don't understand why people got to say 'why you doing that for, ya don't need to' far as I know..this an educational site to learn..if he wants learn how to get rid of the warning..I don't see any problems in that whatsoever.

The message "There is an internal problem with your device..." seems to be related to the security patch version. This was my biggest issue, the message I get when booting the phone was annoying and I knew it was not a big deal, but having an internal problem warning was concerning, flashing the vendor image was the solution for me. But if you like to start clean then I have the steps written, but if you update then again you'll get the warning when booting up.

I think what people are trying to say is the risk/reward for getting rid of the message is not worth it. Especially since its just a brief warning you only see during boot. Just flashing twrp recovery will give the red message. SuperSU will help get rid of it which is why the OP was able to remedy it. It will not work for everyone though. Modifying the bootloader is the only sure fire way to snuff it out for good and you would be a fool to try and mess with your bootloader for something aesthetic. That's how most real bricks happen, is when a bootloader gets corrupted.

Basically just flash SuperSU last in whatever sequence, and as long as it boots,the red message will be gone. But change anything after and it will probably come back. I have nothing negative to say about this thread. I originally posted the nexus link just so people can rest assured that it is not an actual problem and a normal, albeit annoying, side effect of modifying the Nexus 6p. Happy Flashing

Why did you flash vendor? Try clearing caches and then reboot. Let it sit for 10 min too while starting up.

Systemless unless you want to use xposed otherwise it doesn't matter. Systemless just makes it so you can use root apps like android pay. I use the 2.66 systemless. The instructions are a little all over the place on that thread. You no longer need a modified boot.IMG. the SuperSU zip patches whatever boot.IMG you have. So all you need to flash is the supersu2.66 for systemless or the traditional zip if going that route.

Stock unrooted device in soft-brick bootloop running 7.1.1

Hi,
So quick summary of what happened. I went to make coffee, came back to desk and my N6P has been stuck in boot loop.
It was running the latest Android 7.1.1 build (NPF26F)
I can access fastboot and recovery fine. However, I can't flash anything from fastboot as the device wasn't unlocked.
I tried wiping data / factory & cache from fastboot and recovery with no difference in result.
I also can't seem to sideload anything as all the OTA's from google come back with 'Can't install this package (%Date of build%) over newer build.
The latest OTA i can find is: 7.1.1 NMF26F (angler-ota-nmf26f-61b4a915.zip)
I also tried the official 7.0 NBD91K (angler-ota-nbd91k-32c2eac8.zip) with the same result.
Is there a different OTA I can use or can I force it to sideload an older version or any other suggestions?
I really don't want to have to deal with my telco. I'll be without a phone for weeks if I have to :'(

I have a phone with the same problem. Haven't gotten an answer yet. I am starting to wonder if it's an issue with the build.

When you say haven't gotten an answer yet.... you posted it somewhere? I bet an easy fix for google would be to release a newer full OTA... but unless they respond in a day, i'll be returning phone...

You can unlock bootloader if you have fast boot. The computer needs to recognise your phone. Then just follow the steps in the beginner's guide.

You never went into Developer Options and toggled the "allow OEM Unlock"? If not, you will not be able to unlock bootloader via fastboot.
And are you positive you did a proper "factory reset" from recovery? From stock, this should get you out of a boot loop. The naming convention Google used for DP2/Public Release was screwed up and I've seen others reporting the inability to flash OTA's but the solution was to flash the full Google image. As someone else suggested, until a new OTA hits with a newer (higher) number, you may be out of luck. Maybe someone with more experience can help with perhaps altering the OTA signature?

Yup never did it :'(
Didn't think I needed to unlock / root my devices anymore since I can get all the functionality out of stock android these days. Though now I feel like I'm being punished for not unlocking it :'(
I'm positive I did a factory reset from recovery. I do believe flashing a full google image would fix the issue, but im unable to from fastboot as device is locked and sideload images appear to be older :'(

Really sorry to hear this, and I know being without the phone even for a day or two is inconvenient at best. Could be critical for your work or school. Most every bootloop I have encountered, I've been able to fix by re-flashing the kernel. Either stock or custom... like EX Kernel. Have you ever played with WugFresh's NRT? You can temp flash TWRP and maybe temp flash or flash the kernel? This probably won't work with a locked bootloader If you could just start the OS, you could toggle the OEM unlock. At a minimum, TWRP will give you a file manager, MTP file transfer, wiping and other tools. If you have time, it may be worth a try. Other than that, successfully altering the signature of the OTA may work, but I've not seen any work on this, but have never had to look. I'd keep searching for ppl having the difficulty of going from DP2 to Public Release (older/newer) and see if there was another solution other than flashing the full image, which obviously you can't do right now. Good luck, and let us know if you make any progress.
Edit : Read here for possible help. This may work in conjunction with getting TWRP installed via NRT.

Many ppl have had problems sideloading the OTA coming from DP2 to Public Release NPF26F->>NMF26F and not just the 6P. Because the Public release numerically is "older" the OTA will not flash. When unlocked, the solution was to flash the full Google image, rather than the OTA. Why in their infinite wisdom Google did this I have no idea. Options are very slim when your bootloader is locked and you are stuck in a boot loop. OP cannot flash a full image when the NMF26F OTA is parsed as being "older".

This guy gets it!!! Yeah, I've unlocked a lot of my older devices and am comfortable with 'messing' my devices, but I didn't with the 6p as the stock experience is great now. But now I feel like I'm being punished because my device is dead with no recourse for action. Unless google release a newer full OTA.

If you haven't given up yet and gone back to the carrier with the phone, try the NRT toolkit to temp flash TWRP, and then FORMAT each partition, then try to reflash OTA with TWRP. Under "Advanced Utilities".

Secondly as I've mentioned a few times including the OP. The device is locked. You need access to Android OS to unlock. It can not be done just from bootloader. So this does not work, but thanks for posting the suggestion anyway.

How to fix DM-VERITY issue for 7.0 flashed updates

Here is how you fix it.
Step 1. download OnePlus3t toolkit (note: don't attach the phone to PC yet)
step 2. reboot your phone into bootloader (if in twrp hit restart -> bootloader) if not in twrp try turning phone on and as you see the oem unlock screen hit volume up and down and choose fastboot (or bootloader)
step 3. open oneplus3t toolkit
step 4. choose option 8 (flash stock recovery)
step 5. hit enter and when it says waiting 4 devices attach your device to pc
step 6. let it finish
step 7. when recovery comes up, hold power button for 10 seconds or hit exit (if you can choose it) and reboot into system
step 8. if it keeps rebooting into a stock recovery and you cant decrypt... then when your phone first boots and goes into oem-unlock error hit volume up and click restart.
step 9. Reflash TWRP and SuperSU if needed
Step 10. Enjoy!

Did not work for me. Stock recovery, stock nougat, locked bootloader and I still have dm-verity error.

Try flashing TWRP and back to stock recovery.
If all keeps happening you may need to follow the guide to unbrick the phone.
I'd personally keep flashing different things if data is important. Sorry to hear this happened. Sounds like dm-verity should never have been a thing. So frustrating. Please update us on what you find. You can always erase system and all then reflash image.

I have tried everything. DM-verity error every fricking time.. Tbh, I really hate oneplus. They are not releasing factory images, with factory images I could fix every issue in 5 minutes.

Go to TWRP>Wipe>Advanced Wipe>Select system>Repair or change file system>Change filesystem>EXT4>Flash your ROM
That fixed it for me

I used the hard brick fix to go back to 3.5.1? I let the system update to 3.5.4. Go into developer settings and check allow oem unlock. Went into bootloader and oem unlocked. It will erase everything. Downloaded and put the OTA patch(940gb~not full) and supersu 2.79 on the device somewhere and did a local update with the patch through stock recovery. Went into bootloader and flashed TWRP 3.0.2.0(not 3.0.3.0). Do not exit bootloader. In bootloader I fastboot BOOT the 3.0.2.0 TWRP(3.0.3.0 would not boot up and screwed the dm-verity). If it(3.0.2.0) doesn't want to boot then quickly hold the power button in and wait till it starts rebooting and go into recovery menu option). Swipe to allow modifications and flash the supersu 2.79 that was placed on the device somewhere. This worked for me and no dm-verity error with f2fs.
Long process but it worked.

does dm-verity error mean anything? I have it also currently but nougat seems to be running fine...

In a nutshell, extra security on the boot partition to "ensure chain of trust" one of the possible requirements for Android Pay backend.
********EDIT***********
This method didn't work on the newest beta, and the OP3T ToolKit way has never worked for me on any version of OOS.

Yes to first. No to second, It will try but will fail.

Mine is unlocked and rooted. The update failed. Then it redownloaded the full 1.4gb. That's how I found the URL. Then it flashed fine but brought recovery to stock and wiped root. Had to use the toolkit to get TWRP and root back.
So yes, even rooted gets the update

I did a system restore previously and it set system to ext4. Maybe that's why I didn't have issues.
This dm-verity issue could be showing the instability of f2fs. Hmmm

Hi guy, I followed your instruction, however, it still has the problem.
When I use the stock recovery to flash the beta1 package, it could not be flashed in.

I'm running 7.0 stable, unlocked bootloader and dm-verity warning. Android Pay still functions with the workaround.

“Decryption Unsuccessful” message

I attempted to apply the Oreo OTA using the guide here however it ended in a bootloop. I used fastboot to boot into TWRP (I don’t have it flashed) and switched to slot A and booted into it, where I got a message saying that decryption was unsuccessful (example). I used this to perform a reset, which worked so I guess this is a way to recover from a failed OTA, but does this reset both partitions and will I now be able to successfully apply the Oreo OTA? I have no interest in getting root back...
Thank you!

After I got this message I reset the phone using the prompt on the "decryption unsuccessful" screen, then later I could apply Oreo OTA when it arrived. It seems to reset everything.
