bootlooping ,flashing twrp or stock doesn't work. - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My nexus 6p has been on ressurection remix and elemental kernel for months and it'd been good. Today I was playing a gaming and my device rebooted then i thought ,well no problem. Then it kept rebooting and the starting animation got choppy until it started rebooting again. I could entered twrp and I try to wipe data and cache , then rebooted. No luck , worse, later i couldn't enter twrp anymore.
So I did:
flash twrp again, flashing went successfully, but recovery mode was not accessible.
flash stock image again, flashing succeeded, device keeps rebooting no recovery mode.
try different twrp, no hope.
I've been messing with android especially with nexii for years. This is the very first time I encounter this weird situation. I thought as long as the fastboot mode is accessible , there's no real brick.
What else can I try?

Some users have reported using Skipsoft's Toolkit got them out of a bootloop with only bootloader mode accessible. Flash stock and choose the option to format userdata and cache.

THX. Would you please point me to the threads. I think basically the toolkit does the same thing adb command does. Anyways, thank you for the suggestion, i'll try it out.

If you are comfortable with fastboot and adb, then yes ofc the scripts used by the toolkits are the same. The difference I tried to point out is that Skipsoft FORMATS the partitions. Different from erase. Try fastboot formatting userdata, cache and system as well because you were running a custom rom.

I'm not sure why you are confused. The boot loop of death is a known issue on the 6P. There are threads dedicated to it. If you can't RMA your phone it's probably a paperweight.

Yeah, i just went through several threads here and figured that out. Sorry for having posted something that had been already posted here. I hadn't been to XDA for months so I thought my case was the only one. lol

Stop advising to use Skipsoft . If he can't get to TWRP the device is dead.

Cannot flash system.img, df shows no system partition

Hi everybody!! I have a BIG issue: my nexus 4 is unlocked, with the CWM recovery and CyanogenMod 10.1 installed. Due to some technical problems, I decided to flash the factory rom again (following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312) but I can't do it!! Indeed when I try to flash the factory rom the prompt says
file:could not allocate 544035848 bytes
error:cannot load system.img :not enough space
And when i checked the system capacity the result is that my system partition doesn't exist (as you can see on the pic attached)!
I wish to send my phone back to google with the RMA (it was delivered 7 days ago) but I'm not sure that the warranty is still valid (what do you think about that?). Indeed there is no OS now, and everything is unlocked.
Anybody could help me?
Thanks a lot!!

use the fastboot commands to erase system, boot, and data. then use flashboot to flash bootloader, then stock recovery, then stock system.

Thanks!! Just a couple of questions: 1. the prompt commands are "fastboot erase system" "fastboot erase boot" and "fastboot erase data", right? 2. Have I to reboot the system between every erase and every flash?

I tryed to do it without results. I attach the screen.
Have you some other advises? I really don't know what i can do it with my phone. If i send it back to google, do you think that they will check if my phone is locked/unlocked, with/without os, ecc? Because I'm afraid to have wasted my money!
Have you tried booting into recovery and wiping everything before flashing system? Also you're sure you have the right system.img? Maybe re-download the files from google and try again?
---------- Post added at 09:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 AM ----------
also, do you have any nandroids or downloaded ROMs on the phone? If so, you could try flashing CWM, and then booting into it and restoring the nandroid or installing a ROM.
R: Cannot flash system.img, df shows no system partition
We tried wiping everything trough fast boot, he does not have any nandroid backup and I think he tried to flash another ROM (cm) with no luck.
We downloaded the right images, we tried both 4.2.1 and JOP40D from the Google site and from the mirror that we found in some thread here on xda.
(I'm his friend and I was helping him via Skype, that's why I know these informations)
I think now we'll try to flash cwm and wipe everything trough it and install a stock ROM or a custom one.
Ty for the help.

It really sounds like someone made a mistake and ran the wrong command and actually remove the /system partition. Not erased or formatted, but actually removed the mount point. I'm sure there is a way to recreate it, but I have no idea how.

That's what I think too... this error appeared before we tried any wipe/erase command trough fastboot... hope someone can help us in recrate the mount point for the system partition...

Thanks guys! I really hope that someone knows how to recreate it and, if it's possibile, very soon, because the RMA expiration day is coming!!
This is generally to be avoided, but I think this may actually be a last resort situation. Download the full factory image extract down a few levels until you have flash-all.bat extracted, at that point you'll also see the radio, bootloader, an image zip, and some linux scripts. Make sure you've actually extracted them and that you aren't just looking in the zip. Run flash-all.bat Don't touch anything until it's done, if you disrupt the write to bootloader or possibly radio, you brick.
By the way, the factory image is here and you may need to use 7zip to extract it. 7zip will have shell integration, so just right click what you want, drop down to 7zip and extract to.
Also, you may be able to accomplish the same thing with:
Code:
fastboot -w update image-occam-jop40c.zip
so maybe try that first.

Fine, I will try when I come back home. Just a question: what do you think about the warranty? Do you think that google will check if the phone is unlocked and without os? It is better for me risk with the last suggested process and (maybe) brick the phone or send it back as it is now? It's because I'm just a beginner with mod, scripts, prompts, ecc..sorry!

The phone was damaged from user error. It is unethical and probably illegal to RMA it. Try to fix it yourself, and if you can't, man up and buy a new phone. RMAs are for faulty products, not products ruined by an inexperienced user doing something wrong.

You are completely right. I wrote that just because I messed up the phone (following guides, using toolkit, using cmd in a proper way) trying to fix it (from the first day it was impossible to call due to microphone/speaker software problem). And sometimes, while a was doing the same stuff that everybody do with good results, the phone didn't do what it was supposed to do. Consequently I wanted to RMA it because i think it's my fault (I know it and I admit it) but not completely. I really don't want to cheat anyone.
Well, I fixed it. I don't know the reason but the day after everything was fine (maybe it's because I erased everything from CWM; i wiped everything and then i wen on Mount and I erased everything). Btw, the day after I reflashed everything from prompt with the phone in fastboot and i flashed also system (the partition was "avaible" again); the .img flashed was the factory rom 4.2.0. Then I reboot it but the problem with microphone/speacker wasn't fixed; i updated to 4.2.1 and it still didn't work. Today I will call google to RMA it because now (just now) the phone is not working properly but not due to my errors. Thanks to everybody!!!! :laugh:

Of course! In theory it will not be a problem if there is the CWM recovery and if the phone it's unlucked (at least, I read that for Google and LG is not a problem), but I flashed the stock recovery and then I lucked the phone again. Thanks for your advises.

(What if?)how do you recover from a boot loop on nexus4?

Hello everybody! I have a nexus 4 since a couple of months, and I had a Samsung galaxy s before. With that phone if you got stuck on a boot loop and couldn't access recovery, you used Odin to save you..what if it happens on nexus 4? Flash original image with a tool? Or there is some recovery file I can flash? Or what?
Thanks!

It's highly unlikely that you won't be able to boot into the recovery anymore on a nexus device as the recovery is pretty much "flash once, forget forever".
Meaning, you normally don't mess with the recovery partition.
If you, for whatever reason, really can't access the recovery anymore, you can flash a new one through the bootloader using fastboot.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Should be the command to do so. Just check the tutorials around here.

What he said, and also should be noted that if you do backups of your roms, if you ever upgraded the recovery (say TWRP) you may wish to re-do a backup after you upgrade with the recovery option checked (or don't use it at all) since I've run into a situation once where I backed up my original stock on 2.4.4.0, and when I restored it, it downgraded my 2.5.0.0 to that, didn't cause problems just some options went bye-bye until I reflashed the recovery from fastboot (and just made sure to make a flashable-zip of just that recovery just in case).
As long as you can get to the bootloader on an N4 you can do just about anything to bring your device back to life, even if it's something like erasing the userdata, then formating /data in the new recovery because *cough*me*cough* stupidly flashed a galaxy nexus recovery from goomanager.
PS: Holding down the power for 10 seconds or more is pretty much the universal kill switch, from there should be able to bring up bootloader just fine.

Not sure why you linked that or how it even pertained to me (especially since it's been long since resolved and was using as an example). Also those tips do nothing if you couldn't get past the boot splash animation to begin with.

How exactly do you get out of a boot-loop, when you can't even get into the rom to bring up the Power dialog in the first place like that instruction says? (The instructions you posted only works if you're already in the rom, holding down the ok button before it reboots, and I suspect all that's doing is clearing the Dalvik-cache which you can do from recovery anyways).
Also my problem wouldn't have anything to do with that, because if you flash a galaxy nexus recovery onto an N4, and reboot, it won't let you in because it'll ask for a password to decrypt storage, an the recovery will do the same thing, and my post which you quoted didn't have anything to do with a bootloop, just simply that you can get out of just bout any situations with a Nexus 4.
These are the most common bootloop solutions http://droidviews.com/2012/how-to-recover-when-your-android-device-is-caught-in-bootloop/.

[Q] Nexus 4: Can't wipe/Flash factory image. Semi-bricked phone.

Earlier today my phone was working fine running Stock 4.4.1/Kernel. I decided I wanted to get the franco kernel so I got the .img file from the xda thread. I flashed the .img file onto the boot partition using fastboot, and restarted my phone. After a few minutes of sitting at the "Google" screen I rebooted into the bootloader. I tried flashing the 4.4 factory image using the "flash-all.bat" without wiping anything. My phone continued to get stuck at the "Google" screen after multiple reboots. I then tried to wipe my device using fastboot. However, when using the command "fastboot erase system" I got an error that said "Failed: unknown chunk type." I kept on retrying the wipe to no avail. I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2347060 and followed the steps. All the steps seemed to work up until I had to flash the given factory image using fastboot. I got the same "Unknown chunk type" when the cmd was trying to write files to the "system partition." Before you ask, yes my fastboot/adb is updated to the newest version. (I triple checked) And all my drivers work properly. I just flashed the 4.4.1 firmware 3 days ago using fastboot and everything went perfectly, including the wipe. Please offer any solutions you think could get me out of this situation. Thank you.

Never encountered something like this, but maybe from bootloader u can get into ur stock recovery & wipe cahce & wipe data.
once again I never had that issue...so its upto u...but might be worth a try...if u had made a backup or dont care about the data in ur phone then it did be easier for u u to try
Flash the factory images and erase all partitions on the device. If you want to get some data from the internal memory you could pull it through recovery. Next time read more do less. Franko's kernel uses different ram disk than the stock one. You could also try to flash a full stock kernel for your build first. Get it from the factory images and flash it through fastboot.

Can you get into bootloader mode. It's worth a try. Your not bricked if it can turn on. Your emmc may be bad and flashing the factory image won't work. But if that's the case then warranty or replacement are your only options.

Can't flash ANY ROM on nexus 7 2012 wifi

Everytime no matter what ROM I flash on this tablet I just get a bootloop and then I can't do anything in recovery like mounting SD card for instance.
I'm not completely new to this game, I have a nexus 5 that I'm always playing with and never had problems like this with the s3 or HTC one x. Could I be over looking something? Any help or guidance is much appreciated.
Cheers
Anyone?
I have a similar problem. I flashed ParanoidAndroid yesterday and everything seemed okay but now everything I try to launch or install an app the tablet reboots, and I tried to flash cyanogen, flash stock, do all the wipes and factory resets but always reboots to the damaged Paranoid Android ROM.
Reformat /system /cache /data
Then use a otg cable with a USB drive with the ROM you want
Mount in recovery then flash

Yes, with the Succesfull text and all but when I reboot the ****ing Paranoid Android stills appears. I also tried with Adb Sideload, but failed because an error in the footer, although I downloaded it from google one time and from Wug Toolkit another; also the wipe from the stock recovery loaded by Wug Toolkit didn't work.

Then I don't know what to do to help you with it
I'm sorry
But that is so interesting and unique
Even I copies the stock image to the SD, but when the Rom boots, it has been disappeared. So annoying.

Oh, well.. Thank you, anyways.
Hey, I'm having the exact (more or less) same issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783720
I've been using Cyanogenmod, but other than that, I have the same thing going on.
I was actually glad to see this, as it means I'm not alone in this issue!
But still rather strange, and VERY frustrating.

6p Bootloop of death softbrick

I was flying yesterday, and noticed that the phone went into a bootloop when I took it out of my pocket during the flight.
My phone is on purenexus with TWRP installed already. When I got back home I tried clean flash the latest Feb ROM update, wiping all partition besides storage partition before the flash. Also flashed the latest vendor image. I did not see any error during the flash process.
No matter what I try, the phone would not get past the google screen and reboots just before it gets to the boot screen.
I am now backing up data on my phone via TWRP. It's going to be a PITA if I need to RMA the phone as it was bought in the US but I am now using it overseas.
Any magical fix to this issue?
Prior to the phone had issue, it was running Nougat Purenexus rom Jan 2017 version.
I got it yesterday. Try to flash the factory image in this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62924118&postcount=2 (Step 10)
Add some more steps before the above:
fastboot format system
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache

As I do not want to format internal storage, I tried option 11 - How To Flash The Factory Images (Return To Stock But Leaving Internal Storage Intact)
I followed all the steps and phone is still in bootloop.
Just backup your internal storage to somewhere in your PC and then you're free to go. Why dont try?

I haven't seen any evidence of wiping the internal storage will fix this issue.
Me. Yesterday. It's up to you to try.

Just tried step 10 and format userdata - does not work. Phone is still stuck in bootloop.
The fact that you have access to the recovery means you have a high chance of getting the phone back to the should. The real BLOD only has boot loader available but nothing else besides the bar code screen.

I have access to bootloader, and recovery (TWRP). Problem now is finding a solution to boot the phone past the google screen without going into a loop.

Format your sytem, userdata and cache partitions then flash the latest full stock image using flash-all.bat.

I have formatted every partition, and flashed latest full stock image. Still the same, google, google, google. Even tried the solution to format EFS partition and still bootloops.
So you have TWRP access still, and you have used the flash-all.bat method through the boot loader and it's still boned??

I followed step 10 in this guide (which is the same as doing flash-all.bat, and it is still bootlooping. I then reflashed TWRP into recovery.
