Hi
i was stupid enough to unlock my bootloader and flash recovery, then reflash back latest meizu stock via twrp , and flashing again the twrp recovery image,
i don't why, but the first init of the rom update ****ed my recovery up and now i lost recovery (even the stock, the phone just booting to the rom)
fastboot oem unlock isn't possible because i'm on locked bootloader rom.
i tried to flash the recovery via rashr with the backup i made and i can't becuase of busybox, i guess it's because the bootloader lock
is there any script or way that i can stock recovery back?
actually if lost the rom i lost my phone....
please help!
Sorry my friend, you have a sad full hard brick without recovery. You need a new motherboard, sorry.
One thing, do you try to flash the cracked update through flash tools ?

Hey guys I recently restored a nandroid on my 6p from a 7.1.1 rom but I get stuck on boot logo now when j go to recovery(TWRP) all my files are completely gone? and it says something about encryption ...did I brick my device? And if not what steps do I have to do to get back up and running again? Like download rom gapps and SuperSU all over again on my PC etc..? I know my bootloader is unlocked still and I have to be rooted still since I can go to twrp so any help will be appreciated thanks.

I am not exactly an expert, but I would recommend to flash back the latest image from Google...go back to completely stock and then if you want root and install TWRP again. Good news is your bootloader is still unlocked, so I don't think you are bricked. Good luck!

i would but everything (files etc.) are gone from my phone...so i would have to download and flash it thru my pc right? if not ill probably just flash a rom gapps the vendor of course and super su and see if it boots up to the rom
Yup just download the Factory Image and extract the vendor image and flash it with fastboot.
Or flash another ROM /Gapps/ Vendor

Not clear. The files you had before restore are missing or you miss files from your backup? Twrp backup does not backup your /data/media.
White google logo hanging is a due to bad vendor files.
Had some issues with my camera recently and decided to do a nandroid restore. Restore didn't turn out well and I ended up with a factory reset device and here's where things get confusing for me.
1. I'm using the A2017G with B03.
2. TWRP installed and phone rooted, but bootloader LOCKED. Previously followed tenfar's guide back in August 2016.
3. Now my phone still has TWRP installed but no longer has root access. I wish to revert everything back to stock (i.e. stock recovery, everything) and do the proper method according to this guide but I do not know where to start as I don't even know the current state of my phone due to the locked bootloader. I fear that if I proceed with Controllerboy's consolidated guide, I may just brick my phone.
Appreciate any help rendered!

You can use the MiFlash file to unlock the bootloader just like Controllerboy says in his guide. You don't need to do the TWRP part since you already have it xd
There shouldn't be any trouble since, if you read his guide, you flash TWRP before unlocking the bootloader.
Edit: sorry he doesn't use MiFlash xd. Should still be the same, just use those images he provides to unlock it.
Otherwise you should be able to use MiFlash with some files that the Russians made, there's one called A2017U_FASTBOOT_UNLOCK_EDL which besides from probably unlocking your device, gives you Fastboot if you are on A2017G.
I want to make a clean Install of factory image (Android 8.0 Oct) on my Nexus 6P with TWRP.
Should wipe Dalvik, Data, System and Internal storage, then move the stock zip file (That I downloaded from google's web) from my computer to my phone and just install in TWRP? Will it work?
Device is unrooted, only has an open boot loader, I just want to make a clean install of Android 8.0
If you wipe your internal all your downloads and your factory image are gone.
Sure you can flash the unpacked *.img with twrp, but don't try to flash the bootloader or radio with twrp.
If you really want a clean start and wipe everything, then you should flash the factory image with fastboot. This will update your bootloader and radio too.

Hi coremania, I have a few questions towards this method.
1. If the stock image is stored in either external SD card OR USB OTG, even then will there be any problem installing the the stock rom back using TWRP?
2. If the boot loader is unlocked, should one has to re-lock it first before reinstalling the stock rom either thru' TWRP or thru' Fasboot commands?. and finally,
3. Is it not advisable to flash the stock rom from the full factory image using TWRP rather than Fastboot?
(As I think it is easier to flash thru TWRP than typing those ADB commands in Fastboot).
Thank you for your inputs.

If you decide to flash and test some stuff the bootloader should be always unlocked. If anything will went wrong and your bootloader is locked you're mostly f***ed. Never relock your bootloader until you want to sell your device.
I mostly use flashfire to flash stock and custom roms, TWRP is ok too, but it's easier to keep root and TWRP with flashfire by flashing stock images. Do not flash bootloader and radio with flashfire, never ever !!! There are TWRP flashable zips for bootloader and radio here on XDA, you only should use these with TWRP, but the safe way for bootloader and radio is fastboot for sure. Fastboot is the safest way for flashing stock,
but not absolutely necessary, you have to decide this for yourself.
Edit: to your first question, I never flashed with USB otg on the n6p, but I think yes it should be fine.
I hope someone here can help answer this question. I also want to flash factory image version 8.1.0 on my nexus 6P. But somehow my phone is not recognized by any computers I tried to plug it in. When I plug in the usb cable to the phone, it doesn't pop up the usb notification to choose MTP for file transfer. Then I try with Developer tab in Settings to choose it manually (USB debugging is enable) but it still doesn't work. My laptop has been updated with android usb drivers and other stuffs. I have a second phone (Oneplus 1) and it's recognized by my laptop the moment I plug it in. Please suggest any solutions to fix this. Thanks everyone.

Check your cable, or try a different with different port.
In the Dev options you can reset the debugging options, i guess a reboot is necessary afterwards.

Thank you for the clarification. So, far I have not faced a situation to flash my custom recovery either thru' TWRP or thru Fastboot. Instead, I am using my Nandroid backups taken from TWRP and using it to restore my system after I try a custom rom OR upgrade my system with the latest Magisk version for a systemless root. So far there are no issues. But, I wanted to be aware of the methods to go back to stock (without any user installed apps/data) if need be. I read in some forums that we need to re-lock the unlocked bootloader if we want to go back to stock rom using fastboot. Otherwise, the system will not be installed alright and might cause a bootloop.
That's why I wanted to clarify.
Thanks again for your inputs.

You don't need to ever relock your bootloader. If you want to try stock and use TWRP try SuperXe 8.1. It's just flaahable stock with some extras you can opt out of your not intereseted.

I can't confirm the relock and unlock method to go back to stock. Senseless to me.
I am currently on Pixel Experience 9.0. I want to go back to Stock Oreo, lock the Bootloader and go back to stock recovery. What would be the easiest way to do this? I have Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant installed. Can I use the rescue option to go back to Stock?
Will I retain the VoLTE functionality and IMEI?
I do have a TWRP backup I had created before I flashed Pixel Experience. Should I go for that instead? If I do restore the backup, is there any way to lock the bootloader and go back to stock recovery once on that stock oreo backup?

Use twrp backup and lock the bootloader as you don't lose your IMEI with a twrp backup and then lock the bootloader with its process

Okay. I restored the TWRP Backup. Could you elaborate the bootloader re locking procedure a bit? Also how do I go back to the stock recovery?
