So, as this is my first ever thread to this website and the reason why i have created this account, I am somewhat new to the XDA forums...
Nevertheless, i will state my problem here:
Right now, my phone and my limited knowledge about it have come to an dead end. with the help of online tutorials and so on, (I have downloaded almost 40 gigabytes worth of space to do stuff to my phone), i was able to only get the fastboot mode to work again.
It started with me uninstalling a system app from google (I don't know which one exactly, but i had the resurrection remix 5.69 or something like it, and in that ones system app remover it was one of the lowest google apps). I don't know if this is important, but at the time i did that i was in plane mode.
After some time i ran into some loading issues with games and restarted my phone. the first time i got in, i booted up normally and could do my pattern normally, but then there was only a black screen and i could pull that info bar thing down. as soon as i wanted to open the settings, everything froze and i decided to restart the phone. Once it was shut down i then got greeted by a bootloop which i aborted by shutting down after about 3 minutes. then nothing was working anymore, so i wanted to see if the fastboot mode was still available. it was, but after shutting down from that and trying again ( just to be sure) even that was gone.
so i went online and downloaded basically everything you can find online to recover a harbricked op2.
turns out, after i got my fastboot working again, the OEM and the device were locked (still not sure if those are different things or the same) and because i couldnt get in the android system, i could not enable it.
the ADB commands do not work at all because there is no device detected for it, though it is detected for fastboot. the command fastboot OEM unlock does not work because OEM unlocking is disabled...
so far i have been able to connect my phone in 3 modes and names for those, them being:
Android Bootloader interface (Fastboot)
Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E (Connected while holding VolUp)
RELINK HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (Connected while holding VolUp + VolDown)
I am also unable to flash anything on the phone because the OEM is locked
I will not be able to answer for some time (probably 2-3 weeks) but i wanted to start this thread so I could already have an answer when i come back home again (traveling with fam, and its somewhat hard to take a PC tower with you on trips)
Thanks for helping me! :fingers-crossed:
I'm having the exact same issue as OP.
I'm not sure exactly what I did, but I can only boot to fastboot. Typing fastboot continue does not work, I can't flash ANYTHING or use any of the recovery tools, because my device is locked, and there's no system to boot to so I can run fastboot oem unlock (have to turn on debugging, which I can't do). I have read just about every guide there is, and also downloaded a boatload of purported "fix" tools/drivers/packages. My phone remains able to boot only into fastboot, and I can't get anything working.
Installing the device drivers did work for me, so I'm about half a step ahead of some other people with this issue, but none of the tools or scripts I've found, or manual methods, have brought my OP2 back to life.
I'm really, really hoping someone here is able to help with this.

Sorry, but could you link us that?
Also,does this really work with a locked device and locked OEM? Please do not tell us things if you don't know if they work.

Oh, it is that one. I had already tried this one, in all listed modes posted above. The problem with that one is that everytime I hit the start button, the green progress bar does not show up and it does not a single thing... because I am staying at a place with a internet café for 3 days, I can download some stuff and try it again.
EDIT: I don't know if that was the reason It didn't work, but I may or may not have forgotten to install the driver because it was deleted off the onedrive page and I just forgot about it afterwards. if I can find a replacement for it, I will ink it here for future users with the same problem. otherwise, I would be GLaD if someone would do that for me...

I am not sure if it is that one (it gets pretty messy wehen you have downloaded 50 gigs), but i think it wouldn't let Me because of the locked OEM.

Hi guys,
Right so I really need some help right now,
My nexus 6p is enrolled with the beta program but I am unsure which particular version of nougat it is on...
So I was sending a snapchat last night, and the phone randomly crashed and restarted. It then did it again when I attempted to do the same again. It kept on repeating do to this till the point where it wont boot anymore, it gets to the google logo and crashes or occasionally gets to the part of the boot with the shapes and crashes. So its stuck in some kind of bootloop?
So the phone is enrolled in the Beta, but I have not done anything else to it such as rooting etc.
This is a really stressful situation for me right now, my phone is essential for me right now, as a student from the UK studying abroad in Canada, I cant do any exchanges or afford to buy a new phone.
I was wondering if someone could help me fix this, I really dont know anything about Android when it comes to this kind of thing, and if possible I really don't want to void the warranty.
A guide on what to do would be really appreciated, keeping in mind Im not experienced in doing this kind of thing on androids.
Thanks,
Ben
Can you boot into the bootloader/fastboot mode?

i have the same issue, i have tried using toolkits and even using fastboot commands and the phone just keeps getting stuck on the google logo screen. at this point i think i might have to get a replacement. unless some can offer a solution
Same issue
I have exactly the same issue. I am on Angler 7.1.1 Beta/NPF10C. Since the OTA came out everything was fine, until yesterday while trying to send a picture on Hangouts the phone froze and rebooted, and rebooted and rebooted. The bootloader is locked and no USB debugging enabled. So far I tried:
- wipe data/factory reset through recovery - first try, the phone reset and let me set it up, but then froze after 5 minutes and kept rebooting; after that any factory reset just get's stuck at Google logo at boot
- tried to adb sideload rescue OTA - previous build NBD90X starts verification and fails at 50% with the error: can't flash older over newer (duh!); and the ota build npf10c can't be read. I tried on Mac and Windows. No matter what I do adb can't read zip file. Also tried updated sdk tools and everything, no luck.
Read on Google forums that there is a chance of hardware issue and the phone must be returned for exchange if still under warranty.
Update: I was able to sideload rescue OTA on Linux, but the phone is still in bootloop. Only showing Google logo and reboots. I'll wait till next DP2 comes out and I will try to sideload it and see if it fixes the issue.

Yes I can, any suggestions as to what I can do?(sorry im a noob, but the bootloader is the power button and volume down menus right? haha)
Is there any way I can get my data off the phone?
.
So I followed these instructions for the rescue OTA (I cant post the links because im new to the site)
You can find it by going to the google help forums
Well I Got to Step 9 and it didnt work and it says a warranty or repair is the only recourse.
Is there no other way of fixing this? As I said before, a warranty replacement is not possible for me as I'm in the wrong country

I don't think there is a way, since the phone is encrypted, boot-loader locked and oem unlocking is disabled. I think that is the whole purpose of having device secured, so none can get files from your phone.

Looks like your recovery is bad and that is when warranty suppose to be used. However, even if there is warranty, Huawei website states that they won't cover improper testing of the devices, which I think falls under beta testing category.

At this point, I'm not too bothered about my data, because all my photos have backed up to google photos.
Should I just attempt a factory restore? I know someone above said their phone just froze after 5 mins, but I suppose I could try and unenroll from the beta in that time and hopefully take me back to a stable release without the bug.
- I'm not sure if that will work though :/

If you have no worries about losing data then you should try a factory reset, after all it might help. IMO you should definitely unenroll from beta at this point.

Yeah, so it wont let me go into recovery mode just bootloops, safe to say its pretty f***ed.
Suppose trying to claim warranty is all I can do, but can't do that for two months.
At this point, I'm gonna have to admit defeat and buy a new phone until I can claim the warranty back in the UK when I return.

Good luck with the warranty. Unfortunately, mine has ended and I am currently using my girlfriend's old iphone 5s with a tiny tiny tiny screen
I used adb and sidecar and all the stuff mentioned by others. it says 100% and i rebooted my device and still google logo occuring and its not fixed. Any other option that i can try now?

use these commands in bootloader.
adb shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/soc.0/f9824900.sdhci/by-name/modemst1 bs=16384
adb shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/soc.0/f9824900.sdhci/by-name/modemst2 bs=16384
I'm pretty adept when it comes to adb/fastboot/flashing etc but I'm running out of ideas here.
Yesterday my phone rebooted twice on its own --- didn't think much of it (but probably should have in hindsight). Happened a third time and now all I get is the white "Google" splash screen with constant reboots.
Holding volume down does get me to bootloader --- however cannot get into recovery (same issue with google screen). Tried plugging phone into multiple PCs in bootloader mode but I get device cannot be recognized (usb device malfunction). Tried manually updating the driver - nothing.
All I want is to retrieve the photos/videos of my kids --- hoping there is some last resort that someone can suggest before I give up on this thing.
Ideas anyone?
UPDATE: Got phone to recognize via fastboot ---- still can't get to recovery. Anyway to get files?
Same happened to me, something is horribly wrong with the build(s) that came out this month as more and more people are having this exact issue. I was able to barely get mine to boot initially with the latest stock image, just long enough to upload all my pictures via Google Photos before it would freeze and go right back to the constant rebooting.
Eventually even trying a stock image stopped working, I RMA'd my phone.
This seems to be a ticking time bomb and is going to be a huge issue very soon. It's really going to be rough for anyone beyond their warranty period unless Google/Huawei steps up after they realize what's going on. I'm not even sure what I'm going to do with my phone once I get it back for fear of causing the issue again.
My bootloader is locked so I feel like I'm SOL here.... hoping for a miracle
Just got off the phone with Huawei tech support.... apparently its a known issue with no resolution currently. This is some bs
That's not gonna help you ATM but you should really always backup important stuffs. My important stuffs are also kid photo and they are backed up in my cloud AND in Google photos.
From bootloader screen, can you give us your device specs? Like emmc, date, sku,.. ?

I would grab the Nexus Root Toolkit (that's what I used for all of my resurrection attempts, makes it super easy)
http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/
Use it to flash stock (and unlock the bootloader in the process) from Fastboot. Let it sit (and bootloop many times) afterwards as the popup suggests and see if you can get lucky with some access to your phone. Either way you can then relock your phone with the toolkit and you're ready to RMA.
The bootloader is not able to be unlocked since the setting was never checked within android itself. I let the phone sit trying to boot for a solid half hour or so just rebooting at the google logo. I think its just a brick at this point

I'm not sure what you mean, I could lock and unlock the bootloader at will, without anything but fastboot functionality.

You probably had the box ticked in developer settings or had previously unlocked it.
I believe rootjunky posted a video on how to do it with bootloader being locked
Just got off the phone with tech support again.... phone is under warranty and they are going to send me a new one. Sucks about the pictures/videos but what can you do
Is it the recent updates that's the issue? I'm still on pure Nexus 7.0
Same happend to me and someone in another thread too.i think there is a big problem with the last build

Wish I knew the cause.... as stated I was bone stock - locked bootloader and all (that's never going to happen again since I couldn't re-flash stock images because of this). Huawei was no help as to the cause other than to blame google.

Well, to be fair, this issue seems to have just started popping up with a handful of us in the last week or two.
I'm sure they are in the process of trying to figure out what happened and why with the RMA units they have. Since we were all just fine prior to this month and suddenly had this happen on various 6P phones of different ages, I'm guessing some code that Google added lately can potentially corrupt the memory/storage in certain scenarios.
This is an escalating issue

Have you requested RMA? The same happened to me too last monday night just browsing Chrome, but it isn't just the build people have in common but also the TWRP version 3.0.2-1, so everyone with their 6P still running, update your TWRP and change your ROM it sucks being a week without your phone besides losing all your files :crying:

Hello... Try sideloading a full OTA of your choice from here: https://developers.google.com/android/ota#angler
It needs to be newer than the installed version. Not sure it will solve your issue though. Maybe someone else will chime in with a better solution...
If nothing works, RMA your device.
Good luck...
Thanks for the advice.
I tried to manually flash OTA but it falied because of the locked bootloader.
I am not sure if there is anyone could point me to do it via ADB. I tried using ADB but the phone is not recognized by my computer yet.

Hey...
Reboot into Bootloader. Select recovery mode with the volume rocker and press power.
Once you see the Android guy laying down with his belly opened, press power and tap volume up once.
On the menu select: apply update from ADB
From here type in a command prompt:
adb sideload "name of the full OTA zip you downloaded without quote"
Supposing you have prior knowledge with ADB. Let me know if something is not clear here...
Good luck...
I finally get ADB recognized Nexus 6p. But the ota stop flash at 46%. failed to read command: No error.

Probably so. There is one guy who found a 6P with a shattered screen for sale and paid a local repair shop to have the motherboard swapped out. Claims it cost him less than USD $100 but he is in South Korea. You're probably better off cutting your losses and finding another phone... after Huawei tells you NO three times.

posted it on craigslist now.
( I noticed that you are in the Woodlands area. I missed the time when I am in Houston. One of the best memories)
just a follow-up to somebody might see encounter the same thing. I was not able to fix the phone.
With a locked bootloader and "encryption unsuccessful" page, you might try warranty first. If that does not work, you might want to take rescue OTA from google and flash it in recovery via " install update via ADB".
Please be aware that rescue OTA is different from system image and should be flash via ADB in recovery.
Good luck.

Here are Rescue OTA. One would need to flash it with ADB in recovery. https://developers.google.com/android/ota
The following one is firmware/factory image. One would need to flash it with fastboot while in bootloader mode : https://developers.google.com/android/images
Use the correct zip file according to your flashing mode ( recovery or bootloader)

Hello,
I see nothing different than hmm an OTA here. I thought that was a "special" OTA, but no.

Hello!
I have the same "Encryption unsuccessful" issue. It happened many times recently. First I replaced the battery, because it produced early sudden shutdown at 30-40%, and could run only for a few hours from 100% to 40%.
The new battery is enough for 30-40 hours as I use it, and can operate the phone down to 1-2% before shutting down.
But if I have to restart the phone, the encryption unsuccessful problem still comes up randomly after battery replacement. I can restart several times without problem, then randomly just fails. Mostly after software updates I guess... I have stock firmware, stock rom, etc. the only thing was made that I have installed TWRP, and wiped user data. Hope that helps. Can it be the defect of the emmc ? If so, how shall I diagnose it?
I'm very newbie android user, I changed from Windows Phone ( ) only a few months ago...
The question is what could cause the Encryption unsuccessful error? It's interesting, that if I enter any random numbers as unlock code, the phone tells that it appears to be valid, but unfortunately cannot decrypt data.
So I would like only to disable forced encryption, maybe that helps. Could someone point me to the right direction about what exactly should I do? Is it enough to flash a modded kernel to disable encryption? I don't want to root, or experiment with custom roms and I would stick to the factory firmware as much as I can, but without encryption of corse...
thanks!

I'm very newbie android user, I changed from Windows Phone ( ) only a few months ago...
The question is what could cause the Encryption unsuccessful error? It's interesting, that if I enter any random numbers as unlock code, the phone tells that it appears to be valid, but unfortunately cannot decrypt data.
So I would like only to disable forced encryption, maybe that helps. Could someone point me to the right direction about what exactly should I do? Is it enough to flash a modded kernel to disable encryption? I don't want to root, or experiment with custom roms and I would stick to the factory firmware as much as I can, but without encryption of corse...
thanks!

Same. The data decryption being unsuccessful happened to me as well on stock oreo 8.1.0. not rooted
Anyone know how to fix it and doesn't happen again?
Thanks
hey all,
Saturday morning a wake up to my alarm on my phone (SM-G950U T-Mobile Stock since new) and turn off the alarm and proceed to check email and scroll social medias. A few minuted later phone turns off and starts boot looping. Occasionally it would boot to home screen and i could unlock it but then maybe 30 seconds later it would start boot loping again. Now it either just boot loops or boots straight to recovery . I have tried flashing current firmware in case it was corrupted and i have tried accessing it through ADB. I know for a fact USB debugging is on because I just used abd to pull wifi passwords 2 weeks ago, but when I try to [ abd devices] if comes up as unauthorized and I cannot proceed. I know everyone will suggest a factory reset, but I am hoping someone has a trick for extracting files. I dont care about most on my phone, but I would like to save the pics from my GF and I trip this past august. Apparently I didnt have my photo library set to sync to cloud -_-
thanks

update: it appears there is a pattern. it boot loops or boots to recovery (after a blue failed system update screen) 99% of the time. the 1% it boot fully and then crashes is only when battery is 0% . it for some reason is only trickle charging and isnt getting enough juice when it does boot fully to stay on . But if i leave it charging a while it will then only boot loop or boot to recovery. Strange...any way I had enough time this past boot to reauthorize usb debug.....wish me luck with adb
....nevermind. still shows up as unauthorized

Ive had similar cases happen with older models. May be time for a battery. They will do crazy **** when the battery crashes. When you flashed stock firmware you lost adb authorisation. Need to get the system back first for that.

Cheapest fix in my opinion. I saw another thread a guy dropped his. Now detects 9008 how to fix. More than likely a phone wont just not boot. Or lose programming unless a hardware issue. So if it was just running and quit. Not modding stuff really. More likely than not its gonna be some form of software. But hardware.

Replaced Daughter board and battery. No improvement :/ bummer
the only time i can get it back into recovery is after a "successful" flash with odin. by successful i mean that it says it worked but it just continues to boot loop or boots to recovery. attached is a picture of the info i get in recovery every time. hope someone can shed some light in the issue. im using my old phone so i dont feel pressured to call the data a loss and try a factory reset just yet....my old phone is a POS though

Yea some one tried to root it using the edl safestrap thread. Only wsy to fix it is filled the steps and reflash jrkruses pie rom. One of my mother boards are in the same state. That's the only way dm verity fails. Is his rom method.
There's some easy to flash a cache wipe in Odin but I hadn't found it yet. I have 2 mother boards and one is identical. I flash this stock and lose download or recovery. but the errors you show are only from doing that edl safestrap
Ill be honest..i have no idea what you are talking about. Ive messed with the software with previous devices and never heard of safe strap. This one has been bone stock since I got it from Tmobile and i haven't attempt to flash anything until i had this issue. never tried to root it

https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/development/root-t3904613. This thread can help you at least get pie back up and running. I wouldn't mess with no more. I haven't had much luck with mine. But I did get it booting again
