Stuck at Google logo on CM13 flash

I saw another user or two had the same issue as I am having here. I've tried dirty flashing, factory reset, system wipe, and a full reflash of Googles stock images. Still when I try and boot into CM13, I get stuck at the Google logo. Does anyone have any tips or tricks on how you booted the latest nightly?
I know it's still very early in the development process, so bugs are to be expected, but I can't even boot the rom.

i am in the same issue... i was on factory, flashed cm13, never fully booted, so wasnt able to get to turn usb debugging on.... now im stuck... cannot get it to boot no matter what...
cannot flash a factory image as adb does not get detected because i cannot get into android to turn it on...
HELP!!

I never could boot either

What all did you restore in the nandroid backup? Just System, or everything?

Can you link it please, the .img file I mean.

Flash the vendor.img didn't work for me :/
Or is there a specific vendor.img I need to flash? I flashed the 7.0 stock version

Camera not working after root

I first rooted my Nexus 6p that was completely stock using the system less root method. After I flashed the modified boot and twrp and rooted, my camera wasn't working. It just shows the camera icon and a black screen. I looked up the problem and many people said flashing a vendor image would work, but after doing so, it just tells me there was an internal error, so I reflashed the factory images. After doing so, camera still wasn't working. I also saw one person flashed a different modified boot but this only gives me a bootloop. Does anyone know a fix to the camera problem? Thanks!

It's most likely caused by flashing the wrong boot.img, when you flashed the factory images to go back to stock did you flash the boot.img too?

I think I did.. I can try reflashed the stock boot.img again though. But I'm not sure what I did wrong because I just flashed the modified boot necessary for twrp?

TWRP doesn't require a modified boot.img anymore, it hasn't for a long time, unless you're using the Android N dev preview. You also need to ensure that you flash the right boot.img to suit your ROM build. For example, if you flash the MHC19I boot.img on a ROM that's based on MTC19T you'll get problems, like the camera not working.

Unfortunately I re-flashed the factory boot and recovery (using build MTC19T), and the camera is still not working. Do you have any other thoughts? Thanks for your help!

Flash the full factory images (except userdata), then flash the latest TWRP, not boot into TWRP and enter the wipe menu, select advanced wipe, tick the data box and wipe it. Boot up and see if that helps.

Nexus 6p with Android 7.0 in bootloop cannot access recovery

Hi Guys,
I'm Kinda new about making a new thread, so if anything's wrong let me know.
Just last evening my nexus 6p (on Android 7.0 official) got into a boot loop from a normal state. It just boots & right after when the white google logo transforms into 4 round object, it just reboots (it takes about 3-5 secs). I can access the boot loader but was unable to access to recovery from there as that takes it to bootloop again. I've tried flashing it, but since i had already updated to Nougat official version & the official image for 6p is yet to come, i tried with some earlier version of Marshmallow. but that failed as well. can it be that i need to select the right version of factory image as i really do not remember my old marshmallow versions anymore.
It seems i'm out of options right now. :crying:
Any advice guys??
TIA

Found this on Nexus 6p help forum. Haven't tried it though so I'm unable to confirm if it works or not.

Have you tried using fastboot to temp boot to recovery?

fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-1-angler.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.409s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.680s]
finished. total time: 1.097s

same behavior, nothing but a bootloop
I'm dowloading an official MM image, just to get the stock recovery and see if I can temp boot in it
edit: not possible, I even tried to flash twrp, I tried flashing stock recovery from MTC20F.. tried to temp boot in both, all with no luck and with phone constantly alternating between the "Your device cannot be checked for corruption" screen and the white Google screen with the open lock.

Guys its very simple, flash the stock mtc20f image first. After that boot it, it wont work but don't worry. Onece it bootloops go into bootloader and fastboot flash twrp 3.0.2-0. once thats done boot into twrp recovery. Onece in twrp make a backup of the image you just flashed that don't work. Once thats done mount system in recovery. Once mounted plug phone into computer and open the twrp folder you will see on your internal wich will have the backup that you just made. Transfer an old working backup into that folder that way twrp will recognize that backup. Once the backup is in the folder you shoukd see 2 backups in there, your new one that doesn't boot and your old one that does work wich you just put into the twrp folder. Once done go to restore and restore the backup of the working rom you just put in there, make sure to check off all on restore. Once done reboot system and it should boot. This will only work if you have a backup of an old working rom.

OMG I finally got mine to work
I'll note down the exact steps , most of which may or may not be relevant
1) Flashed MTC20F using TWRP 3.0.2-1
2) Booted into recovery and wiped everything and the partitions
- Add - Booted back into twrp 3.0.2-1 and then swiped to allow modifications
3) Then fastboot flashed TWRP 3.0.2-0
4) Restored my backup ( except recovery)
5) Still got stuck in the google screen.
Now the next parts are a bit weird
6) Booted into TWRP, flashed vendor.img from pure nexus rom
7) wiped everything except internal storage
8) Flashed vendor.img, pure nexus rom and gapps and then flashed vendor.img again
9) Rebooted and it worked
Let me know if it worked for you guys or if you need any more help

Unfortunately, this didn't work for me.

I believe you should be fine with just trying to flash an earlier recovery version using fastboot... if you're trying to save your data and then factory flash MM and then restore your data to the phone, you should be able to use fastboot pull and then copy them back once you've got a working device by simple copy from windows.

Can you elaborate the steps pls? also have you had an earlier back up of your phone which i don't have?

Has anyone been able to get this to work without being able to get into TWRP? I can't get into recovery whether it is a temp boot to it, or fastboot flash either version..

I have compiled a list of the 20+ methods from various users in THIS thread. It's the second post.

Stuck in a bootloop still @tr4nqui1i7y but will try your methods as well... Fingers crossed..

So I do not if this may help anyone who as run into this issue but still may want to retrieve their data before formating their data or factory resetting. While running TWRP 3.0.3 and flashing the latest 7.1.1 files for angler. I would sometimes be able to boot into the recovery like 3/10 tries ( from the bootloader menu). My data was encrypted and it woul freeze constantly when trying to decrypt soo i decided once I finally got it to boot again in the recovery menu(TWRP after hours mind you) I let the phone stay idle for a few mins should the cpu would cool down that my battery percentage would drop around 41% and the tried to decrypt data which went tru successfully. I retrieve what I Could and it froze during a process of a nandroid backup and started bootlooping again. I believe the battery percentage may be linked to the early shutdown issues that many user were reported having and the bootloop of death we are experiencing. Hopefully this info may help someone else.

Flashing latest vendor img causes bootloop

I was between roms, was testing out MIUI 8 before going back to Pure Nexus. After wiping I flashed pure nexus vendor img (nbd90x) and then the rom and gapps. I try to boot afterward and I just keep bootlooping from the google logo. I went back and used a 6.0 vendor img (mtc20l) and I'm able to boot into the rom but receive the message to flash the correct vendor img. But I can't since the phone won't boot with the vendor img I'm supposed to be using! I also tried using the stock image for 6.0 and 7.0 from google and neither of them are booting now. Is there something I should do differently or any other steps I can take?

Odd

Factory reset and wipe system in TWRP then try again. Then download the PN 7.0 zip if you still bootloop. I'm guessing you are referring to PN 7.0. If not, fastboot flash the vendor that matches the PN 6.0.1 base.

Softbrick Nexus 6P

Please help me. I'm using a Google Nexus 6P. I'm in a softbrick state (bootloop). At first, i taught a simple flash of stock factory image from google with help. But nothing helped. I tried everyhting from the internet asked me to do. I used adb, fastboot, nexus toolkit, but nothing helps. The phone keep on bootlooping. I can go to bootloader and recovery. The bootloop starts when i was flashing a nandroid backup (PureNexus Rom) from a BenzoRom. When i finished flashing the nandroid backup, the bootloop starts. I even did a factory reset, wipe everything, flash a fully stock rom (7.0.0), but the phone won't start..please help me XDA..i really need your help!

Same thing happened to a lot of us. Some were able to recover and some were not, unfortunate I couldn't no matter what I tried. And believe me I tried everything possible. Fastboot , toolkits no go , as for me I couldn't even access recovery. So I did the next best thing, as I was able to flash factory images and lock bootloader I had to rma the device. Waiting on the new one now.

I was able to flash all factory images manually, I was able to use a toolkit which I normally won't use to download all the images fine. Just that when it came to booting up or even accessing recovery it was a no go. Everything flashed fine via fastboot or toolkit.

I actually did it! oh my god i actually did it! i got out from the freaking bootloop! and trust me i tried EVERYHTING else. Only this method, for me at least, helped. I will described exactly what i did.
1. You need a nandroid backup. Any nandroid backup for your phone is good i think. You NEED to know what version of nandroid backup you are having, and what version of ROM.
2. Wiped, erased everything on my phone.
3. Reverted my phone to stock version of the nandroid. (Google Factory) (For me i reverted to MTC20F full stock because my nandroid backup was on PureNexus MTC20F, used flash all.bat)
4. Tried booting to system but failed, still bootlooped.
5. Flashed TWRP, for me, TWRP 3.0.2.0 works. My suggestion, don't go above this version of TWRP, lots of problems!
5. Flashed the custom ROM the nandroid you had (for me, the nandroid backup was PureNexus MTC20F 6.0.1, so i flashed the PureNexus ROM running MTC20F vendor)
6. I tried rebooting to system, but not to avail.
7. I restored the nandroid backup i had earlier.
8. Progress, the boot animation appeared. Before, only Google logo poped out and then it restarts again.
9. Flash back to full stock MTC20F. (flash all.bat without wiping anything)
10. The phone fully boots!
