Phone reboots while gaming and ends in a endless bootloop - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

about a week ago i have been playing some online game (LOD but doesnt matter i think) and suddenly the phone rebooted. "well happens" i thought. but after the google logo the rom didnt start. phone rebooted. unlocked warning screen and google logo loop.
i got ito bootloader and tried to start recovery. got the same result as when starting it normally.
"fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.img" said OKAY but again cant get into recovery just unlocked warning and google logo loop.
"fastboot boot twrp-3.1.img" said OKAY, rebooted the phone just to get another unlocked warning and google logo loop.
"fastboot format recovery" returned
Code:
Formatting is not supported for filesystem with type ''.
is that normal? shouldnt it return the normal formatting output like when i did "fastboot format cache" ?
can it be both boot and recovery partition's filesystems are messed up? if so how to repair/restore them?
can it be im also a victim of this https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/help/endless-bootloop-nexus-6p-t3512377 ? really need to RMA my phone?

Yes, if you cannot fastboot flash or fastboot boot recovery there is no solution. There is another thread on BLOD here.

got it back from rma. took 8 days only. reflashed purenexus and everything restored from gdrive.
basically i got a new phone except my scratched case and maybe my battery. mainboard replaced.

Hey,
Just out of curiosity... Can you boot to bootloader, scroll to barcode, press power and tell us the manufacturing date, please?
Thanks...

Nexus 7 wont start up or go into recovery mode..

Was having issues with my Nexus 7(2013) this morning, rebooted the device and now it gets stuck at the "Google" loading screen.
I can get into the Fastboot loader. I was able to unlock the bootloader.. I have LOCK STATE - unlocked and the unlocked lock showing up on the "Google" boot screen.
I am UNABLE to get into Recovery mode.. either by selecting "Recovery mode" in Fastboot or holding the power and vol up buttons. It just sits on the "Google" boot screen.
I have downloaded and installed the SkipSoft Android Toolkit(mskip).. very nice toolkit BTW. But no matter what I do I'm unable to start the tablet up normally or get into a Recovery mode of any kind.
I have tried to flash TWRP. I have tried to flash the stock ROM. Nothing, still sits at the Google boot screen. Since flashing the stock ROM its been 30 min and still just says "Google".
I'm open to any ideas or anything that you can think of.
Still have TWRP and fastboot access? If so, use the command line fastboot the img using
"fastboot boot <filename>.img"
Reply back; do you get to recovery?

No.. I do not get into recovery of any kind. Stock or TWRP after loading it.. just sits at the Google screen.
Quick question; what were your partition setups like? F2fs? Ext4?

Answers all of my questions. I know myself I won't be able to help. All I can say is to try relocking and then unlocking again.

What that should do is wipe internal, could have some corruption there. Try doing the command line fastboot of the recovery.img again. Those are the only few things I can think of short from exercising your warranty.

Dont think I can use the warranty.. bought it used(1 hour old) from a friend for $100.. he got it and then decided he didnt like the aspect ratio. His loss, my gain. Until now.. lol
I'll keep hacking at it.. thanks again.
Anytime! You're welcome!
So the original issue I was having was that the screen was not responding to touches. Was unable to slide the unlock button on the screen.
I was able to "Boot to Custom/Stock Recovery without Permanently Flashing it" via SkipSoft Toolkit.. and had TWRP load up. But like before it was not responding to touches.
Starting to think this thing is totally borked.. =/
I'm able to get into TWRP now.. but sits on boot animation screen now. one step forward. Going to try and reload the stock ROM again and see if that helps.
That seemed to work.. at the Welcome screen.
So if anyone else runs into something like this..
Issues:
Flakey touch screen
Stuck on Google bootup screen
Eventually stuck boot loop animation
Get SkipSoft Android Toolkit, donate a couple bucks and keep flashing anything and everything you can. Sorry I can't give you a specific order that works. I would say try the 'ALLINONE'(#8) option first and then download and flash the stock ROM. I did several things in the toolkit a few times over and over. Hopefully I'm good now, if not I will update.
Have you tried reflashing recovery via fastboot?
Exact thing happend to my n4.

[SOLVED] Bootloop. No recovery. Bootloader locked.

================================
Solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...bootloader-locked-t3212187/page2#post63494201
================================
Hello,
This afternoon, I was preparing to flash Oxygen OS 2.1 through twrp but I wanted to make a backup first. Attempting to load up twrp by holding Vol- and Power, my OPT flashed the starting frame of the boot animation for half a second before turning off. This repeated every 5 seconds. I could still boot OOS normally at this stage.
I decided to reflash twrp so as to make the backups, but on attempting to flash it, I saw that my bootloader was locked. So into fastboot mode I went, but trying to unlock it, it did the same as trying to get into recovery. As soon as I sent the command, "fastboot oem unlock", the screen went dark, flashed the starting frame for the boot animation, and promptly when dark again.
I now can't boot up normally, nor can I enter recovery. I can access fastboot mode, but I can't seem to make any changes.
I've attempted to use this solution as well as several other similar ones with no success.
I've had my OPT since 17th of August with absolutely no signs of trouble until this afternoon.
To me, it seems like it could be a hardware issue, but I'd hope it would last more than 40 days.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I'm not sure what I was doing, I was going to flash different ak kernel as my wifi didn't work.
HOWEVER
I read someone suggesting if you still have bootloop after trying the qualcomm recovery tool, try booting to fastboot and use: fastboot continue
my opt booted nicely to hydrogen os and after I shut it down it no longer bootlooped and I was able to get to recovery.
I'll post this to your reddit thread too, maybe it might help somebody one day, hopefully this works for you too

Mate! that worked for me too!
However... It only seems to skip the bootloop for that power on. After power off, it returns to the boot loop. I also still can't unlock the bootloader and can't access recovery.
But at least it can boot into OS with fastboot continue!
Thank you.
Weird, after the first successful boot I rebooted and a chinese menu prompted me if I wanted to unlock the bootloader, and I did.
Maybe you should try different recovery packages.
But I'm glad to hear you at least got past the boot loop

Can't flash a new one since the bootloader won't unlock :/
I guess the phone is in working order at the moment, I just can't let it get turned off without my computer next to me...

Nono I mean different qualcomm recovery packages, the ones with MSM8994DownloadTool, I also replaced the stock recovery in the qualcomm package with twrp just in case if that matters

but it might have also been this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B14IjYN3PtxcSlJ5aGQxX3JERHM/view?usp=sharing
It's also worth mentioning I flashed both a few times before I tried the fastboot continue command so try both a few times and see if that helps, also I replaced the stock recovery with twrp in both recovery packages before flashing.
Edit: And best of luck, I'm rather confident your OPT is going to work properly again.
Boot Loop
I got the same problem.
Phone is rooted and i can't unlock it in cmd, just reboot itself when i try it.
The only way for me to even start the OPT is to (volume+ and power), to get to fastboot mode, then run "fastboot continue" twice in cmd.
If i reboot the phone it get cought in a boot loop where i can see the logo, reboots about every 2 sec.
Is there a solution for this? I've been searching 2 for two days now.
I don't care if i have to reset the entire phone.

I finally got my OPT working again, tried Qualcomm recovery tool, wasn't able to complete the "MSM8994DownloadTool"
So i downloaded "A2001_14_A.03_150805" in a guide from technobuzz.net/unbrick-oneplus-2/
A similar but it does a entire wipe of the phone, nothing left at all. WARNING!
But i was okey with it.
Well the phone was in Chinese when it was all done but to change language was no problem.
I finally managed to solve it on mine. I had been cautious over the past weeks to not let it run out of battery or get turned off while away from my computer as
Code:
fastboot continue
was the only way I could get past the boot loop.
My core issue to solve was that I couldn't get it recognised as the USB Diagnostic 9006 under Ports in Device Manager. I installed the driver from here manually by right clicking the /qcser/x64/qcser.inf file and selecting install from the context menu. Then, I powered off my OP2. While only holding Vol+ (not power or Vol-), I plugged in my OP2 to the computer and it was finally recognised as the 9006. Then using the recovery tool from the prior link, it installed and rebooted my OP2. The moment of truth was when it rebooted and didn't enter a boot loop!
Then with the Chinese recovery prompt, I selected the top/first option and it brought me to the welcome/first setup screen of OOS.
It wiped the internal memory, and installed OSS 2.0.2 (don't know if coincidence or not as that was my prior OS as well). Now to install twrp and update to the latest OOS hopefully without a hitch.
Happy to finally know it wasn't a hardware issue like a failed eeprom or a dud nand controller as my prior phone (Samsung Note 10.1) died to a failed nand controller as well.
Will update with news of twrp and OOS, but I feel that should go smoothly now. Thanks to the others that helped in this thread too!
Yeap, all good!
Flashed official twrp through fastboot and batch installed OOS2 through 2.1.1 patches and SuperSU. Everything working like new!
Phew.

Bootloop / No Recovery / History Unknown

Good evening XDA,
I've got a Nexus 6p (obviously), and can't get it to boot. Unfortunately, I don't know the exact history as to how it's in this state.
I've tried everything I can think of and read every guide/steps/forums I can find that relates to my situation.
I can get to the bootloader and issue Fastboot commands. I've got adb/fastoot/drivers installed via the sdk/platform tools, and drivers are up to date as far as I can tell.
-I'm using the OEM cable attached to my computer (Surface Pro3, Windows 10)
-I can unlock/re-lock the bootloader as I wish.
-I've tried WugFresh toolkit, flash factory + unroot. All completes, but phones continues to loop even after leaving it for an hour+.
-I've tried Heisenbergs guide for manually flashing stock google images via fastboot to no avail. Tried several different google images. Everything completes, but it still just loops.
-I can get all fastboot commands to complete with no errors, but the phone just simply bootloops at the google logo, or if I leave bootloader unlocked it loops with the orange triangle & google logo. I have left it looping for at least an hour+, but it doesn't finish:crying:
-Stock recovery or a fastboot flashed trwp recovery simply won't boot, it just goes to the google logo and loops, I don't get the dead android w/triangle. "Recovery" in the bootloader selections is RED, if that means anything. Tried fastboot commands to boot recovery, but just sends it to the google logo and loops.
-Adb commands don't work, only fastboot commands.
-During flashing a google stock image with fastboot, the only thing that stands out is "max download of ####### reached", or something similar, but it still completes.....?
Seems to me that I've got a true brick (first ), and just need to send it in for repair.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA.
Well, personally I believe it is a brick. Because I had something similar and it was fixed by a simple complete wipe of the phone - did you try that, and follow the order for fastboot flashing?
As for replacement. I have a dent in the frame that effected the volume button until I pushed it back in. I contacted google support and they told me since it was physical damage. That I would have to contact Huawei for repairs, and they promptly gave me their number. As for your case it could be a board failure and could go under warranty through google. Good luck! Off to help more people.
PS: Use a twp version higher than 2.x.x, that was what my issue was.

Thanks for the reply. I thought (hoped) it might be a button issue too, but there is no damage to the phone, and buttons work as they should in the bootloader. Gave them a slight tap, but same results.
As for the "complete wipe", I can only erase/format via fastboot (or WugFresh ToolKit) since I can't get to recovery, and that hasn't given me any different results.

Usually with board failure - that I saw in other threads - there are missing fields. My phone had a little glitchyness after I accidentally flashed the userdata.img - which caused my 128gb to become 32gb, which I found amusing - Other than that, I don't know. I'm sure others would reply.
I powered the phone off via the bootloader menu. Came back to the phone and powered it on, and it started the bootloop. I only held down the volume down button (during loop), and it booted to the bootloader. Is this normal? I realize I'm probably grasping at anything, but I've got some time to kill and just curious if it loops and only the volume down button is held should it go to the bootloader?

TWRP 3.0.2-1 may have been used on this device and a restore may have been attempted, causing the EFS partition to be damaged. There a thread in this qna section by the tittle of Lets get this......I don't remember the rest, but it has a post concerning what to do to fix the bootloop.

Thanks for the link, and I've been reading the "Let's figure out this brick together" thread. The link you posted requires ADB commands to work to fix the EFS partition, but I can only run fastboot commands. ADB nor Recovery work on my device. Still reading...
Woohoo! Huawei replaced the phone, no questions asked. I think the saving grace was being able to flash stock images, and relock the bootloader. May be helpful to anyone else in this situation that can only run fastboot commands, and no recovery.

Hard brick? Can't boot to recovery

So I think my Nexus 6P is hard bricked, but I just want to be sure before I issue an RMA.
I was on a plane flying over the Pyrenees and opened the camera to take a picture. The phone froze and started rebooting, which I found strange really strange as it never happened before. Since then, it wasn't able to boot again. The phone is completely stock, running 7.0, apart from the unlocked bootloader that I had unlocked the day I bought it (March/April this year). The phone shows the unlocked bootloader warning, goes to the white Google logo with the padlock below, and then goes back to the unlocked bootloader.
From here I can Power + Vol down and get to bootloader, which I thought would leave me to recover the phone somehow. I know my way around nexus devices so the first thing I tried was scrolling in the bootloader menu and boot into stock recovery. No luck, unlocked bootloader warning, white Google logo and loop. Tried "Factory" in the menu and the same thing happens.
So then I've gained access to a computer and tried downloading a twrp recovery and boot into it. Ran fastboot boot twrp.img, the phone tries to boot again, and the same thing happens. Boot loop. After that, I've downloaded the latest stock Google images and I've run a different set of things, all with no luck. Booting directly from fastboot into stock recovery doesn't work. Flashing stock recovery and trying to enter stock recovery via bootloader menu doesn't work. I've erased and flashed bootloader, radio, and all other partitions (system, boot, recovery, vendor and cache), without any luck. The fastboot commands return "OKAY" but it seems like it's doing nothing.
I am out of ideas, I always thought I would be able to recover a Nexus phone as long as I could reach bootloader mode, but I guess I'm wrong. Should I RMA, or is there anything else I should try?
Thank you.
You say you "Ran fastboot boot twrp.img." Try to do fastboot flash recovery twrp.img from fastboot and see if you can get twrp working. Then try to flash a ROM

Done both, actually. Tried to boot directly from a fastboot command and then tried flashing the actual recovery image to the phone. No luck in both. Never able to get into twrp.
I had the same thing happening to me. I was also using stock 7.0 with an unlocked bootloader. My screen froze during webbrowsing and had to restart the phone. Once booting up, it never came past the Google logo. Getting into recovery didn't work either, just started looping again. Tried to flash twrp, got in there after many tries. Tried flashing all kind of android versions but nothing helped. After that I decided to just use my warrenty and send the phone to the store. They replaced the motherboard and are now sending it back.

Yep, I gave up already. Tried all different sort of thing, and was never able to get into any kind of recovery, let alone Android itself.
Called Google support yesterday evening, a replacement is on its way already.

Needed the RMA anyways. If you had an unlocked bootloader and formatted each partition and then flashed each partition with the corresponding image file from the latest factory image, it was shot. It happens from time to time. Happened to mine as well. 2 or 3 days after I finally got it (pre ordered on launch) I rebooted the phone at some point 2 or 3 days later and it just never turned back on. 100% bone stock. Not even an unlocked bootloader. Nothing would happen when I plugged it into a PC, left it on AC power for hours and hours and still nothing. Holding power 10-15 seconds, nada. RMA'd and luckily this one's been perfect ever since. Good luck with the new device!

Stuck on bootloader

A couple days ago, my volume buttons were not working so I thought a quick restart would fix it. But when I restarted it, it went into bootloader. Its stuck on the 'Restart bootloader' option and I can't select it with my power button nor can I select other options with my volume keys. I try and hold down the power button and it restarts into bootloader again. I booted into recovery and tried to restore it with a nandroid I made that had everything stock but that didn't work. I also did a factory reset, but every time I try to boot into system it goes to bootloader instead. The only problem I can think of was that I held my phone when my hands were wet so maybe water went inside? I'm tempted to get rice to get the water out but I want to be certain that this is the result of water damage. If it helps, I had TWRP and a very early version of Lineage OS on the device before it happened.

Hi... How did you manage to boot into recovery without the volume rocker?
Have you tried a simple:
fastboot format cache
fastboot format userdata
fastboot reboot
From bootloader?
Is your bootloader unlocked? If yes, try loading a factory image from Google if none of the above work.

I used 'fastboot boot recovery.img' to get to recovery. I tried to format the cache and userdata again, but still didn't normally boot. I also tried flashing the stock images from Google's website but still it won't boot.

I never seen this before. If you type fastboot reboot, it reboots directly into bootloader, right? I first thought avout the bootloop issue many currently report. But if you can boot a recovery.img or if your phone only reboot into bootloader, I think this scenario can be excluded.
Hmm you said you touched you phone with your hand wet?!
Could it be the moisture that oxidized the volume down contact inside of the phone? I don't have another idea. Wait for other people to chime in. Hopefully it's another (easy to solve) issue which I am unaware of.

I never seen this before. If you type fastboot reboot, it reboots directly into bootloader, right? I first thought avout the bootloop issue many currently report. But if you can boot a recovery.img or if your phone only reboot into bootloader, I think this scenario can be excluded.
Hmm you said you touched you phone with your hand wet?!
Could it be the moisture that oxidized the volume down contact inside of the phone? I don't have another idea. Wait for other people to chime in. Hopefully it's another (easy to solve) issue which I am unaware of.
Good luck.

Did factory image flash without error?
Last try: did you try pressing power button till it reboots?
Good luck...

No error came up when I flashed it and holding power button at bootloader restarts the phone back into bootloader. I might just stick it into some rice and use my old Nexus for now unless another solution presents itself.
Hi TheGentleShark, did you manage to resolve this? Stuck in a similar situation

Hi. In order to get the attention of @TheGentleShark you should either reply directly to one of his posts, or put an ampersand in front of his name so he gets a notification. Otherwise he will never know (or see) your question. Hopefully he has some useful feedback for you.

Sorry for late reply, but I did manage to get if fixed. I sent it back to my phone company to get fixed since it was still under warranty (even though its rooted with unlocked bootloader). Though, they didn't really tell me what went wrong. I assumed it was a hardware problem (a piece of rice was stuck in the speaker hole and was impossible to remove but was gone when I got the phone back).
