Bootloop with every ROM I install? - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've tried CM and PA and both are giving me bootloops on first startup. I've tried to install them multiple times and I have the same issue every time. Please help.

Make sure you are flashing the appropriate vendor.img

How can I be sure I am using the correct vendor.img?

Please join this thread to help troubleshoot.
I am hoping to find a fix, other than RMA.

[Tool][Windows]Thunderbolt Auto-Unrooter

Outdated! Use the thunderbolt tool here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703455
This is an open-source tool that automatically unroots your thunderbolt.
NOTICE: This is designed for people who used REVOLUTIONARY to root, but works fine with other methods.
Great for people not comfortable with adb or fastboot commands, or people who just want everything in one place and made easy.
*THIS WILL WIPE ALL DATA, BE WARNED*
This tool will:
Install the Fastboot drivers for you (If needed)
Unroot in one reboot
This would most likely be used for people that need a warranty replacement.
HUGE thanks to AndroidGod on ThunderboltForums for support, patience, advice, TOTALLY RISKING HIS THUNDERBOLT for testing, and simply being cool.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE check the MD5 Sum of this. It is a very large (~450 MB) file.
PLEASE follow ALL instructions in the program.
I am NOT responsible for any damages. (Standard disclaimer)
FILE: Download UnrootV3.zip
MD5 sum is on the download page.
Program has integrated OTA updates! No new releases!
If you have any questions or run in to any issues feel free to add me on GTalk: [email protected] . I can reply from about 3:30-10:00 PM EST. If it is outside that time, you can still ask, but there might be a late reply. If you don't have a gmail account, you can just email me at that address.
Tried unrooting my phone for a replacement but when I run the unroot it says to use 7 zip to unzip which I did. Any idea what's wrong?

How about copying it here too? Could be useful.
Mine is stuck at "Searching for device..." It's been there for about 20 minutes now. Any ideas why or suggestions to help? I have to send my 'bolt back for a warranty replacement.
Try disabling and re enabling USB debugging

This worked for me. Thanks. My problem seems to lie elsewhere, though. I can't flash the zip when it gets to that point. Any thoughts?

I also tried a different cable. Not sure if that helped, or if it was unchecking/checking USB debugging.
I'll try a different cable. Did you keep the program running when you switched it out or close it?

Closed it and ran adb kill-server (can also kill in task manager)

Another silly question, did you install the USB drivers?
Also make sure charge only is set.

I'm not sure if this is a common thing or not... it just literally took about 40 minutes for it to find my device. I'm in the Bootloader right now updating. Thank you so much for your responses though.

[Q] Where are Nandroid files in 4.2 ?

I have Clockwork 6.0.1.0 as Recovery, and have installed Android 4.2, maintaining root and recovery.
Previously (4.1 and earlier), backups are stored in /sdcard/clockworkmod. In 4.2 the location has been moved. Since I can still see the new backups when I go to restore, they must be stored somewhere. Where are they now?
Thanks.
I'm having the same issue with TWRP.
You should find them under /sdcard/0/clockworkmod/backup.

negative.
just opened a thread for this too.
i cant find mine. there's no 0 folder in my sdcard.
there is /storage/sdcard0/clockworkmod/ folder, but thats the same as /sdcard/clockworkmod which has no backup folder.

Look through his last 2 days of posts on g+ he tells you what is going on with cwm and Rom Manager. He also, conveniently, tells you what cwm Is storing backups.

Can you spell it out for dummies like me, and just tell us where the backups are? I did go thru the Koush's posts and either I can't find the directories he mentioned, or they just have the exact contents of /sdcard/clockwordmod: i.e., the old recoveries from pre-4.2 are there, but not the ones done since 4.2.
Thanks.
And why the hell can't u just tell us? I get the whole " look before you ask" idea but this is getting silly...

Thanks for the straight answer on that, found my 4.2 backups there as well... I'm only quickly going to say, I am a far cry from a noob and this is a new issue with a new 4.2 system and a unique problem, people that withhold information that know it on something like this need not post at all... Getting attitude as if someone had asked how to boot up their device and steer them to some social site in hunt for a solution is childish... The XDA community as a whole is just awesome and it disappoints me every time seeing arrogant comments like that... Thank you for this info, had me confused just like the rest of you...

Hi
I am using Nexus 4 with PACMan ROM and Franco M3 kernel. I am not able to see the backups as well. I use the CWM recovery version that comes with Franco kernel. I went to \mnt\shell\ and i can't find the folder emulated there. I can't see the backups in \sdcard\clockworkmod also. There is only one file called .recovery_version.
Can you guys help me out?

Thanks for testing .it would be helpful if you could upload the logcat
"Thanks button is just to avoid "THANKS" posts in threads. Nothing more than that. Don't ask in signature or post for it and defeat the purpose why it was introduced"
So you are basicly making a blind build and want users to test it?

Rookie question, can some one point me to a thread or explain which build numbers play nice with each other and which I should treat as kryptonite? Been reading all night and pretty much confused the hell out of myself. Thanks to whom ever takes the time to hold my hand, lol, I've got the Sprint version and thanks again.

Usually devs put some informations [d802, etc..]
If unsure, asking is the best
But anyway there should be a check in aroma / cwm which will tell if it's ok to flash on your device.

Thanks, just had issues figuring what themes would be ok to coach, tried a couple zip themer ones and no dice. Other I lost the status and softkeys.
Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk
I would rather try the ones on this topic: 1
Or for statusbar -> 2
requires xposed + xthemer
Works fine for me.
The flashable ones would require prior nandroid backing up because most replace stuff.
