[RESOLVED] Brick, yes 7.1.1 Nougat (PureNexus) Let's fix this - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After updating PureNexus (November Build) to December build, I got thebrick that other users have been getting. I will do a quick summary
Shortened Version: Flashed new version of PureNexus, didn't boot. Did clean flash, still didn't boot. Backup didn't work.
Long version: Wiped System, Dalvik Cache (& Cache) at first
Flashed Pure Nexus, Gapps, Kernel, and then SuperSU
Rebooted, not working
--
Restored to my backup of the November build I made before I flashed
Rebooted, not working
---
Wiped EVERYTHING besides internal storage, flashed old build.
Not working.
Update before I restore: Checked bootloader, everything looks normal from there. Going to backup my data from TWRP before I do the flash
Currently going to restore to stock and see if this does any magic. Will report back!
UPDATE: Restoring to stock and clearing EFS seemed to do the trick, interesting.

What twrp version do you use to backup ?

I had a similar problem flashing a new build of Cortex. I ended up in a boot loop couldn't restore my backup and had to flash stock to get my phone back. I was using TWRP 3.0.3-0 but have since returned to 3.0.2-3.

I was also using 3.0.3-0, could this be a issue with the recovery?

I bricked mine as well, although i have no access to fastboot mode, mine is completely dead :/ Any ways in which i could fix this?

I know my ROM dev suggested sticking with 3.0.2-3, although not for that specific reason. It does seem like the new build is buggy for some people based on things I've been reading.

By dead do you mean blank screen or Google logo or what?

i mean blank screen, cant even access fastboot mode

i mean blank screen, not even charging when i plug it for charge.

That's odd. Are you charging via USB, car charger or wall plug? I have read instances of a phone like yours coming back to life if it's plugged into a wall outlet overnight.
If you hard press the power button do you get LED lights or anything,? Try playing with the buttons. Press power + volume up. Power + volume down. Try repeatedly with different button combinations and see if you get any response from your phone.

are you coming from another rom, did you wipe data? redownload and try again? reflash your previous rom? restore a nandroid backup?

I wiped data, and I don't have a previous ROM or nandroid to go back to, because I (stupidly) wiped EVERYTHING last night, and I've been working on fixing it since then .... I'm currently booted to recovery though, and I may just push a new ROM to it and try again
says my SD card is read only? trying to remount it as rw
I ended up having to reflash all the stock images...
could be worse.
keep a copy of your latest running rom/kernel/gapps in your storage, for just in case. thats my normal procedure, if you dont want to keep a nandroid backup in your storage, because of its size. but a nandroid backup would be ideal
Having the same issue. Tried installing new Carbon nightly (with factory reset) and didn't boot past Google logo. After that I restored my nandroid, which lasted for about a day or two. Today I started getting force closes and phone won't boot. Now I'm backing up everything (ADB rules ) and will try stock image.
Dont feel bad. When twrp updated I didn't notice wipe internal as I usually wipe all but USB in bottom but it was too late. I had swiped my finger and lost everything. Worse? My computer crashed. So RMA backordered so I bought new s2 for backup. I have to fix before sending back. But its not broken. All asurion does is push files and make sure it boots. They wipe everything. So I did most of the job for them lol. I feel stupid as I've never had a problem in four years. Bam I got too far comfy and forgot the twrp updated and had no idea what was added. I will just find a computer and fix or they will get a wiped device with twrp lol not that I think they will do anything as I've heard far worse but I did it so I'll pay if they mention.

[Q] Freezing, rebooting, and can't flash stock rom (reverts to previous state)

Okay, so I feel like I've looked everywhere and tried everything for this problem with my Nexus 7. The closest thing I found was this:
(Google: Nexus 7 2012 rebooting reverts back to previous state)(I can't post outside links as I am a new member)
and there was no followup reply, and the thread was closed.
Here's my problem (I want to be very detailed in case I missed something):
I've had Cyanogenmod 11 on my Nexus 7 for a long time (I think I started with M1 release). I recently installed the M7 release after previous nightly and it was working so smooth that I had finally decided there was no need to install nighties anymore. Everything was going fine until the night after when I noticed it kept rebooting, so I reverted it back to the nightly I had before (June 11th?) because I assumed it was probably something bad with the update. Except it did the same thing, rebooting after a couple minutes, which is weird because it never did that with this nightly. There was never enough time to download the nightlies before it reboots so I tried downloading them on my laptop and then just transferring them to my nexus via usb. I put it in the cmupdate folder so that I could quickly go to settings and press install (as it can see the update from there). It rebooted to install, but it went into cwm with what appears that nothing happened, and I usually never see cwm when updating this way. So I figured, while I'm here, I could just "install zip" and find that zip I just transferred and install, right? Nope. The zip mysteriously vanished, yet the other two updates were still there (M7 and the previous nightly). So I just rebooted just to try the process again, maybe the file transfer didn't work. Same thing happened. So I went to cwm and tried wiping cache, nothing. Wiped dalvik cache, nothing. So I went and did it, wiped data/factory reset, that did NOTHING, as in I rebooted and everything was still there.
So I got to the point where I just wanted to see if I could just revert back to stock so I have a place to start from, maybe contemplate on just staying there for a while where there shouldn't be problems. So I got that all set up with fastboot, got the latest 4.4.3 image, unarchived until I could get to the flashall.bat I ran that and it was successful. Okay now I can just boot into that, right? Suddenly I see the cyanogenmod boot graphic. What happened? Even all of my apps are still there. Still freezing and rebooting.
I tried reverting to stock manually by erasing then formating everything that I can, flashed bootloader (grouper 4.23), flashed zip, locked bootloader, unlocked bootloader (trying to erase as much as I can). This did nothing, still cyanogenmod. I tried a third time while rebooting to bootloader with each step. Nothing. I tried doing a factory reset within cyanogenmod, but when I press the "erase everything" button it doesn't lead anywhere, so I could never get that to start the process. I also tried doing the erasing and formatting from cwm (which isn't being overwritten, as it seems, by all the attempts at flashing stock?), nothing.
I was curious. I uninstalled Netflix because it was right there in my dock. Then I rebooted myself. When it came back up, Netflix was still there. I tried various things, also going back to locking the bootloader and rebooting the bootloader, it still said it was unlocked. So I came to the conclusion that literally nothing was being written or committed to the sdcard no matter what I do.
I did some more research and found that article up top. So I tried uninstalling some apps because it said it may have something to do with a third-party app misbehaving (seems a bit extreme, I'll do it anyways), but there's never enough time to erase everything before it reboots. It also said to try to get it into safemode. I think I might have gotten there once but it still rebooted (which makes me think that it didn't get to safemode), the rest of the times it wouldn't even get to the lockscreen.
What I'm currently attempting is to see if I can get it into safemode, or I'm trying to uninstall or stop/clear data for every single app with an intentional reboot each time.
Anyone got any idea what's going on? Is it maybe a bad sector, or worse, bad sdcard?
Gonna bump this. Still no luck on my part.
Anyone have any idea?
Perhaps somehow something got triggered to prevent anything being written to the sdcard? (Kinda like the lock switch on actual sdcards?) Is everything I've been doing going straight to memory since everything reverts back after a reboot? That's the only explanation I can think of.
Perhaps there's more I could try. I'm only moderately knowledgeable with things like fastboot and roms, so maybe someone with more experience might have more insight. Please, chime in.
Thanks in advance,
JM

Try this out format /system /cache /data with twrp to f2fs
If it doesn't boot then cheers you got out if the loop
Then adb sideload an f2fs ROM and kernel them flash

I have clockworkmod recovery v6.0.4.3 probably from installing cyanogenmod, however formating any of those partitions does literally nothing. I'm not sure what file system it formats it to, but the process seemed too quick for a full format.
I cannot flash a different recovery because... well... it doesn't remember me flashing a recovery (even when nothing "fails" when flashing). So I'm stuck with whatever is already on my internal storage. Nothing is writing to the sdcard, and nothing is being deleted.

I did. I didn't know that was possible until now.
But still, changing the file system or formating anything doesn't do anything after I reboot. I even checked after I changed the file system to f2fs in twrp to see the "current file system" when changing the partitions again, but it says it's ext4 still.
I tried repairing system, which processed quickly. However, trying to repair cache and data led to an error. Perhaps this might mean something? or is this normal?

Well, I have Paranaoid Android 4.4.4, not Cyanogen, and everything seemed ok until I installed Cloudmagic (and maybe Busybox?) that poped up a Play Store error (I don't remember which one), and suddenly all the problems began. It started to reboots, rebooted so many times that I decided to flash another ROM... but this wasn't possible.
My recovery is TWRP, so we can discard Cyanogen, ParanoidAndroid, CMW and TWRP as guilty, I think.

Nexus 6p weird bootlooping.

Hello xda community!
I received the nexus 6p christmas and after a few hours playing with it, I unlocked, installed twrp and installed cm13. I then installed ak kernal. My phone installs both fine and runs as normal without any FC. Then this is where it gets weird. When I had my new rom and kernal all set up. I go into TWRP and create a backup. I restart and I'm bootlooping. It tells me my device is corrupt. It did this with the original backup of stock rom, cm13, with and without ak kernal installed... and then sometimes my phone will soft-brick (gets stuxk on google logo) I really love cm engine as I habe a theme. But I'm unsure what is happening to my phone.
Any help is appreciated! - thanks.

The bootloader message won't go away until you lock the bootloader. Its just there as a warning to you in case you did not unlock your phone. As for CM I'm sure there are still many bugs to be worked out. I know I'm going to wait before Flashing it until I see people enjoying it as a daily driver. There are some great devs here in the n6p forums though so I recommend checking out some other ROMs too.

No it isn't necessary to wipe the userdata partition. No modifications are stored in the userdata partition. It would only be necessary to wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik cache. And probably flash the vendor partition too. Not userdata though.
I had a similar problem when I botched a SU flash, same warning then it would take forever to boot, then the rom would degrade over the next several minutes. I know its not fun to start over, but it was the only thing that cleared all the problems. I didn't want to take more time finding another solution when going back to stock is so simple with this device. Follow the instructions in step #11 of Heisenberg's guide (great guide, I link it to friends a lot). Then start again, I know, not what you wanted to hear. Hope this helps!
I am also in agreement with Heisenberg in regards to the userdata partition.

Thank you very much for replying. I have found the root of the cause but no solution. Uninstalling or disabling system apps will cause my phone to go into a "optimising apps" boot loop on the next restart. What do you think? ++ every restore I make on twrp either soft bricks or bootloops. Crazy!

I have reinstalled original stock files from google. I've wiped everything numerous times. Installed ROMs just after. It took me a while but I think it comes down to the system apps. I'm running a custom ROM, cm13 and my phone is running fine. I know if I was to delete all the unwanted apps off my phone, on next reboot it will try and optimise apps, finish. Says starting apps... Then reboots. Follows the same process.

Thanks for your reply. I've actually now narrowed itnright down to a few apps, maybe gapps. Sound recorder, voice recorder app and the google app. Either one or more of these cause my optimising apps bootloop.

Soft-bricked Nexus 4, no guide will work

My Nexus 4 had been running Cyanogenmod (cm-12.1-20151007-SNAPSHOT-YOG4PAO334-mako) correctly for months. Two days ago, the screen failed to auto-rotate when I tilted the phone so I decided to reboot and see if that worked. Not only did it not work, the device went into a bootloop. It would boot, ask for my encryption password, accept the password but the OS would never start (I waited over 2 hours).
I'm able to use adb, fastboot, and access TWRP.
I tried reflashing CM12 to no avail. I've also tried going back to stock by reformatting all partitions in fastboot and flashing stock bootloader, radio, and system image (also in fastboot). That's where I'm at right now. I have everything stock except for the recovery partition where I have TWRP.
Here's the TWRP log: http://pastebin.com/MCKD73G0
Here's the dmesg log: http://pastebin.com/BdVjV2vz
Here's the last kernel message log: http://pastebin.com/DBQQBFQv
Any ideas?
I have a very strong hunch that this problem has got something to do with the sensors.
I flashed Android 4.2.2 and, to my surprise, the phone booted correctly into Android. No other ROM (stock or otherwise) would boot correctly. As I mentioned in the OP, screen auto-rotation isn't working so I downloaded an app to test other sensors. The proximity sensor, pressure sensor, light sensor, and the gyroscope don't work. I strongly doubt this is a software issue but I'm not ruling it out yet. I will try to open the phone case later tonight and move the sensor around, it might be stuck.
Just had a pro take a look at my phone. He said there's nothing wrong with the sensors so it must be a software problem. I've been trying to fix this for days now.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I just noticed that my phone does not have the /sys/class/sensors/ or /sys/devices/virtual/sensors/ folders, is this normal? If not, how can I solve this?

I had this issue twice.. flashing an old version of Frank ROM (in L preview times).. all my sensors got screwed... and trying to flash other roms or factory resetting the phone didn't work!
So I downloaded latest factory image and flashed it with the flashall.bat script
VoilĂ ! All the sensors started to work again!! And they still work! So... some very deep part of the system can be wiped only by the stock recovery factory reset.. I don't know why though.. but that's it!

Yeah

6P still bootlooping after flashing stock.

So i was going to downgrade from android 7.0 (DigitalHigh6P rom). I flashed the newest 6.0.1 factory images, but no matter what i do, it still bootloops. I have tried sideloading an ota file, wiped everything several times. My bootloader is unlocked (of course).
I never get to the android boot animation.
what do?
I had the same issue upon installing N with complete stock. My bootloader was unlocked. I had to boot into recovery, wipe everything (I did it multiple times to be sure) and then in recovery I powered off the device. With N still installed I setup the phone WITHOUT restoring ANYTHING from Google. Upon the initial setup menu I started like it was a brand new phone and I had no Google account. Set that all up later. That ended my bootloop problem.
Unfortunately Wi-Fi password backup was huge for me and now it's gone. Everything else while a hassle was manageable, I'm hoping when the factory image is released I can start over and sign into my account and have that data restored.

what did you use to update to N?
I was on the beta. I never flashed anything else. Like a dummy I had my adb commands backwards (was using adb instead of fastboot). Otherwise I would have reflashed MM.
Some other person had the exact same issue when going from 7.0 to 6.0.1
I will have to get a replacement. :/
same here.... guess this is the first brickable nexus device... the only thing that gets me to boot is if I flash N then flash the MM F vendor image, but it does not detect the sim card and camera don't work.

From that thread, my solution.

Okay, this is the method I used to fix my phone. The issue was the phone constantly alternating between the "Your device cannot be checked for corruption" screen and the white Google screen with the lock.
1. Flash a stock image (I used the August stock image MTC20F)
2. Fastboot flash TWRP 3.0.2-0
3. Boot into TWRP
4. Select Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> Select and repair each partition individually (some won't be able to, and that's fine, just move on to the next one)
5. Restore a full nandroid backup (make sure everything is selected) and reboot
6. You should now be free of the never ending boots, and if your device is bootlooped at this point (stuck at the boot animation), you can just flash stock again.

Ur getting bootloops bcuz u didn't had cleared the dalvik and sys cache. try doing a sys format (along cleaning those ) and then do a fresh flash of android 6.0.1 then it'll definitely work. (Y)

I have already done that, and it does not work.
I have already contacted my retailer about getting a replacement.
