Please help!!!
I tried to update my rooted Nexus 6P to 8.0.0 (OPR5.170623.011, Nov 2017) using the Flashfire app and something went wrong!!! The phone is now stuck in bootloop and will not get past the 4 google coloured dots. I can boot the phone into the bootloader and then get into TWRP recovery from there but thats pretty much it.
I hoped I would be able to fix it by flashing the system image, bootloader etc using adb and fastboot but have had no luck. I have tried on both a PC and a Mac and neither seem to recognize the device. When using the commands "adb devices" or "fastboot devices" nothing shows up and when I try to flash anything it says "waiting for any device" yet when the phone is off it signals that it is charging from the laptop.
I have updated my rooted 6P multiple times before using both Flashfire and adb/fastboot from both a PC and a Mac and have never had problems before this. I have run out of ideas to try so any help would be greatly appreciated but I fear I might have bricked my beloved Nexus 6P.

Weird. You should at least have fastboot when in bootloader mode, and MTP with TWRP. In bootloader mode, plug the device into your PC. The device is not detected at all? Have you tried wiping cache/dalvik? MTP not working in TWRP?
If you can boot into recovery then your device is not bricked. Make sure the adb and fastboot binaries on your computer are completely up to date. I'm pretty sure Google updated them for Oreo. You will need to flash the full stock image with flash-all.bat command when you get your computer to recognize your phone. Updating from Nougat to Oreo using Flashfire or Flashify is a bad idea because you are dealing with something way more extensive than an OTA update.

I was running ParanoidAndroid perfectly until it crashed and not it gets stuck at the loading screen of the ROM (not the Google logo). I'm able to turn it off and get into Bootloader. From there if I choose Recovery mode, it gets stuck at Google logo.
If I plug it into the PC while in booatloader, it gets detected as "Android" but no driver (I'm sure I installed it before with the Toolkit). Toolkit just won't detect the device anymore, keeps getting stuck at the <waiting for device> command.
If I plug it into the PC while stuck at the ParanoidAndroid loading screen, I see MTP and Nexus in Device Manager but w/o drivers.
What can I do now? Any input is appreciated.
Thanks.
Bump.

Have you tried fastboot from the bootloader? Try this(assuming Windows):
-copy your recovery image of choice to your fastboot folder on your PC.
-boot to the bootloader with usb connected.
-open cmd window and navigate to fastboot folder
-type: fastboot boot insertrecoverynamehere.img
It should boot into the recovery from there. Make sure it's the same recovery you used for your latest backup.
Edit: I just read the subject line saying fastboot didn't work. Odd that it would just stop working from the bootloader like that. Have you tried manually updating the driver? Or maybe adb when it recognizes the device as MTP?

Thanks for the suggestion, but I figured out the problem. I'm such a dumbass. I forgot that last time I did this on a friend's computer. Apparently, the toolkit doesn't work properly on Windows 8 64-bit... (at least not on mine). I plugged it into a friend's laptop running W7 and was able to flash recovery again. Smooth sailing from there. Wonder what corrupted recovery.

I've never been able to cold boot my recovery - only through the goomanager app(for TWRP). I believe it's a known bug. I can only boot recovery from the bootloader when my N7 is plugged into my laptop via usb. Power or another laptop don't count. Oddly enough, It also works if I plug it into my Galaxy Nexus via USB+OTG.

Hm, perhaps that was the problem? But I was able to cold boot into recovery after reflashing TWRP... Anyhow, I'm glad I didn't have to restore a recovery image as I haven't made a backup since the last PA update

It worked for me only once after reflashing the recovery. Never again after that. Hopefully it gets fixed soon, but until then, I carry my USB cables with me if I'm flashing new roms

I've encountered an unpleasantly unique problem (as far as the internet is concerned) with my Nexus 7.
It started when I wanted to upgrade my Nexus from 4.2.1 to 4.2.2. For whatever reason, the upgrade wouldn't install, gave me an error a quarter of the way through and booted me back into 4.2.1 with no repercussions.
Using WugFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit, I managed to get 4.2.2 onto there by flashing it over everything. It seemed fine, but went into a bootloop on the Google splash screen before it could start up and go through the first time setup.
I have tried everything. I tried flashing again with NRT, and got the image attatched, a hither-to unseen error that could not be fixed with a pc reboot or reinstall of NRT. I tried using the old Nexus Toolkit to boot into CWM recovery, but since USB debugging isn't (and can't be) turned on, that could do nothing. I've tried using the SDK command line to unlock it and flash it, but the device can't be found because it hasn't been booted up for that first time startup configuration. I've tried uninstalling all the drivers and trying all of that again, with nothing.
What's left is a nexus 7 with a brand new 4.2.2 that can't boot, no USB debugging, that is locked and unrooted. I can get into the bootloader, but there's no recovery installed.
I'm sorry if this has happened before. I'm sorry if this isn't new. But good christ almighty I just want my tablet to work.
tl:dr help me gods of the Android
If you can boot into the bootloader, can you use the SDK's fastboot tool to flash the stock recovery?

Nope. It just says "<waiting for device>" and stalls indefinitely when trying to flash anything onto the device.

I suppose "fastboot oem unlock" doesn't work, either?

As long as you can get into fastboot, you should be able to use fastboot commands, sounds like you have a driver problem. Did you uninstall all the drivers and install the pdanet drivers? If the pdanet drivers don't work try naked drivers. It doesn't matter if debugging is enabled or not or if your device is unlocked and unrooted, you should still be able to do everything via fastboot commands. I recommend wiping everything via fastboot commands and than flashing the stock image. I recommend avoiding rootkits they are more trouble than they're worth, fast boot is a lot easier, faster and safer. You might want to try a different computer if nothing else works. You might have a defective bootloader though. Make sure you check the device manager on your computer to see if there are any errors with the drivers, it should show a yellow triangle if the driver is not working, if that's the case click on update driver and navigate to the SDK drivers.

Once you get the stock image flashed, unlocked and rooted, you can use goo manager to install the twrp recovery.

I was surprised when it did. I had done a full driver reinstall to prestige777's advice, and fastboot started working again. Ran into an error when trying to flash 4.2.2 and bootloader version 4.18 with mismatched signatures, but tried it on another computer (thank you prestige777 again) and it's booting!
Thank you both so much!

Hey guys,
Yesterday I tried, after a few months of not modding my phone, to update my recovery as i was running a very old version of TWRP. Long story short I did something wrong somewhere and my phone has ended up in a bit of a weird state.
At the moment the OS is BlissRom, however it fails to boot. The loading screen runs very slowly and never actually boots the OS. The current recovery is the stock recovery.
The thing that is giving me an issue is the fact that somehow the bootloader has locked, so I am unable to flash a new OS onto my phone. I'm not able to flash anything onto my phone as it throws an error telling me the phone is locked.
Overall I aren't able to boot into the OS, however I have access to the stock recovery and fastboot. Unfortunately it looks as though the bootloader has locked some how.
Any ideas how I can fix this, or have I completely messed my phone up?
Thanks in advance.
Hi
U said u were running twrp before which means u have unlocked bootloader and flash roms already.
How did u end up with stock recovery?
Also is it phone being detected bycur PC?

I believe it was a result of running the QualComm restoration tool. I ran this and it didn't look as though it did anything however after i rebooted into recovery I found it was stock.
I'm not sure if using this tool also re locked the bootloader however as it appears to be locked and I cant flash anything in fastboot mode.

Indeed I have, I get an error saying "phone is locked".
I think the resolution will be running the restoration tool fully but i cant seem to get it to do anything. It just sits there with no progress bars appearing.
Have you ever had any experience with this tool?
No I never used recovery tools.
Can u at any point let's say u boot into recovery and connect the device to PC, will it detected the internal storage?
Sent from my ONE A2005 using Tapatalk
Unfortunately not, if I boot the OS it gets stuck at the loading animation, it isn't a bootloop oddly enough.
Booting in recovery the PC doesn't detect the internal storage, however if I choose "Update from USB" I can see that ADB detects my phone in sideload mode.
Much like in fastboot mode I can see my PC detects my phone in fastboot mode.
I do have some OS zips on the internal storage which I have tried flashing in stock recovery, however these always result in "Install failed" errors.
Dude i think you have to use recovery tool now
Here is the link first read carefully https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...ck-guide-for-a-hard-bricked-oneplus-2.347607/
Thanks for the link buddy.
I've gone through this thread, I think the issue preventing this from working for me is the fact that although I have installed the relevant drivers, when I plug my phone into my PC the drivers assigned to it are "Android Bootloader Interface". When I try to target another driver, using the Update driver functionality it just refuses to change, saying the driver already assigned is the newer one.
Any ideas how I can get around this? I know ideally it should appear as Qualcomm 9008. I've tried all the methods in the "How to Make the device show as Qualcomm 9008" section without any success.

Here's what to do...
U will need to sideload the stock rom which can be downloaded from here: https://s3.amazonaws.com/oxygenos.o...4_OTA_020_all_1608262242_44a55e674a2b4bf6.zip
-Place the zip in ur adb folder and rename it to update.zip.
-Connect the Oneplus2 to the PC with USB cable and open a command prompt or terminal on your PC. To do this open the ADB folder press shift + right click and click on open command here.
-Reboot to recovery and select install from usb.
-Flash the OxygenOS on OnePlus 2 by typing:
adb sideload update.zip
-Now the update will start and this will take some time.
Hope it helped[emoji106]

Hey dude, thanks for the help! So I went through these steps and it actually appeared to sideload and update properly.
However now it looks as though my phone is stuck at the one+ logo when I go to boot the OS.

If still stuck on boot logo, boot in fastboot, connect to PC and run command : fastboot erase userdata
If not work try sideload a rom u have with same steps[emoji4]

Hi,
Just got an ZUK Z1 from one of my clients and the problem with the device is bootloops when trying to reach OS.
this issue came all of a sudden.
I managed to get into recovery and fastboot modes successfully but cmd won't show any serial after "fastboot devices" command but adb devices (while i'm in recovery mode via Aplly update from adb") showing serial accordingly and identify device.
when trying to push twrp or an update to CM OS in order to fix probable system files cmd replied
error: locked
i assuming it's the locked boot-loader.
even in wondershare mobilego the process stuck in 50%
i just need to backup client data.
Thanks for your kindly help,
- Oria, Israel.

I was trying to flash the latest images on my 6P, but it's not recognized in Bootloader/Fastboot mode. It boots to the logo, then reboots into TWRP. It's recognized by adb in recovery, but if I try and boot into boot-loader, it no longer is recognized.
I have tried in Windows 10, and Linux. Previously it was recognized. I am thinking that when I flashed the latest image, I didn't enable USB debugging. But it's odd that it can be recognized in TWRP and not bootloader.
I tried wiping data, but that didn't work.
(Yes I have the latest usb drivers for both windows and linux.)

first i try adb devices, which returns nothing while in bootloader:
adb devices
List of devices attached
But when in TWRP I get:
List of devices attached
5VT7N15A28001306 recovery
So I can't seem to flash when in bootloader. I tried installing an OTA from TWRP but I get
error 7
Which makes no sense since it's an Angler Zip file for the Nexus 6P.
D'OH! I should have been using FASTBOOT in bootloader and I was using ADB, D'OH!

Have you opened developer options and made sure that USB debugging is definitely enabled. Maybe try the Nexus root toolkit to see if that helps. Also, you could try plugging your device in while in bootloader and check device manager. There may be something unrecognised or with a yellow triangle with a name like bootloader interface. If you see that then you could try installing the driver for it.
