Today I was browsing the internet on my Nexus 6p when it suddenly cut to a black screen. When I tried to restart it, I noticed that it was stuck in a bootloop. After some searching, I've tried to wipe the cache, delete the data, do a factory reset etc. I did root my nexus approximately 3-4 months ago, however I went back and flashed the stock factory ROM. I've been trying to flash a new ROM now, but my PC isn't detecting my 6p as a device. I've looked at the device manager menu, and I'm seeing nothing. After some looking around, I've seen that some 6p owners are experiencing bootloop problems. Any idea what I could do?
Ps. I bought my phone via a carrier, freedom mobile.
Note: I WAS NOT USING A CUSTOM ROM, I HAD FLASHED A FACTORY IMAGE A FEW MONTHS AGO
Do you have TWRP flashed? Can you get the PC to detect when in TWRP should work as soon as you get into twrps menus.

I have managed to get TWRP installed, and now my PC is detecting my phone. I managed to get it to work again, however after around 15 minutes of use, it decided to freeze, crash, and go back into a bootloop.
(I managed to fix it by flashing an OTA update, I'm not sure if the TWRP installation helped)
Wish there was a way to test memory if it was a PC I'd say memory or storage was bad.

So I have my nexus 4 here and I wanted go back to stock android 4.3 so I downloaded the factory images and began. First I wiped boot, then cache, recovery, system, but I skipped user data (I don't know if that may be the cause). Then when I flashed the factory image bootloader, then did fastboot reboot bootloader, the phone went black and never turned on, and device manager started looking for the driver for QHSUSB_DLOAD. After reading about this, I realize that it is bricked. I have already contacted Google and I already have the shipping label and RMA form. What I'm worried about though is will Google (or LG) find out that my phone was in fact rooted prior?

So, I have read a lot about TWRP sometimes bugging out and randomly encrypting phones and adding a password to which the user either never set it up or that TWRP doesn't accept it. This has recently happened to me and I cannot use my phone and I don't know what to do.
I have had the bootloader of my phone unlocked since day 1 when I bought my phone (release date last year) and have been running PA ever since. I have never had any problems with it, until about 5 days ago, when I grabbed my phone and everything started crashing and the camera was apparently not available. I didn't know what was the deal with it, so I rebooted the phone and it entered a bootloop (it hangs on the Google logo for about 5 minutes and then it hangs on the PA logo screen forever). I went on to the bootloader and started TWRP to see what was the deal. I originally wanted to grab certain files off the phone in case I had to do a system format, but when I got to TWRP, it asked me for a password which I have never set up and I tried every combination I could think of but it always failed. Everything was encrypted and without the password I couldn't get to it. I tried wiping everything including a factory reset before resorting to a system format (which I read about it and apparently is meant to be the solution). Everything failed because it couldn't access the /cache, /data, nothing. I went on to do a system format and although that is meant to wipe the phone and remove encryptions, it also failed to wipe the /cache and although TWRP says that the wipe is successful, the phone is still encrypted, the password is still around and it bootloops. I have tried the system format like 50 times and always the same.
Can anyone help me out with this? I am currently travelling around but am at a hostel where there is great internet and pcs, so I can install drivers, toolkits and such. I actually started looking around for new phones, since I cannot for the life of me get the phone to start again.
Note: The phone was working perfectly fine, I put it down to have dinner and once I finished, I tried to use it and it started to bug out. I also read around about this, and everyone's issue gets fixed after a system format.
Any help, would be greatly appreciated, that phone is the only net device I have on this trip and it sucks to not have any way to contact anyone.
Thanks.

Don't blame TWRP for something it doesn't do.
Looks like your device have an EMMC failure, sorry.
You can try installing factory image, or last resort restoring by download mode, but I think the flash memory in your phone is gone.

I didn't mean to blame TWRP. It is just that it was when I am on it that I get asked for the password and I was under the impression that it was TWRP that did the encrypting (I am in no way a developer or even very knowledgeable when it comes to the under the hood stuff, I usually only follow the tutorials). But thanks for the reply and the link, I will try that and hopefully get the phone back working.
Also, I did read in a thread that apparently this can occur due to hardware failure, I was just hoping this wasn't the case.
This happened to me on an old phone. Not sure why. Factory image fixed it. Could be a different issue but its worth a shot.

Did it suddenly happen or did you change ROMs?
I tried a new rom for the first time and then went back to wicked 9.1, I'm thinking that triggered something.
I think I got a fix though, look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588377

Hi. I root a lot of different devices and have rooted an unrooted nexus 4's multiple times. A few weeks ago I had a nexus 4 with a broken screen, so I ordered a new one and fixed it. However the device was bootlooping so I restored it using a toolkit. The phone randomly started bootlooping again today. I've tried restoring it with Nexus Root Toolkit, NCRY, ResoreME and manually wit adb commands. However it's still bootlooping. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to fix it?
Flash the factory image with fastboot. Skip the tool kits. After flashing boot into the stock recovery and do a factory reset.

Hi, I've been using this phone for last 2 weeks and ive experience this SystemUi constantly restart by itself. No error or crash popup, just the mobile data goes to error sign -> no sim card -> mobile data. Sometimes rebooting the device does help but most of time it does not.
Ive excounter this problem either unroot or root.
Have anyone experience this issue too?

Yeah I've noticed something like that. It's frozen up for a few seconds. Screen touches become unresponsive. Last time it happened I was just going back pages on Amazon app and it froze. Unrooted T-Mobile latest update. Maybe that's why they have a on/off schedule in settings.

I had the same issue. I tried to recover by restarting. Now i am stuck in boot loop and constantly rebooting. Please help here.
This isuue happened to me since upgraded to OB1. My phone was rebooting randomly after booted for just a few minutes. I have tried get rid of all Magisk modules, dirty flash rom, reflash twrp and magisk. Etc ... After that I can't access the phone anymore. The phone just kept on shutting down after logged in. So i tried to get it recoverd by twrp but sadly, twrp didnt show the login screen so the data was encrypted including my backup recoveries.
I ended up fixing by rebranding with stock ota fastboot.
I think you should first backing up your data to external storage if you still have access to twrp. And just do whatever needs after that.
Don't be dumb like me and Good luck.
