[Q] File recovery From Bootloop'ed Nexus 4

Hi,
I Need help .
I have nexus 4 with stock ROM and stock recovery.
Two days after OTA update to Lollipop, the phone got stuck on boot-loop.
The problem is that on the phone i have a very important voice recording of a cop that says he will lie in court.
The court time is coming and i need that recording!
Everywhere i looked, no one has an idea how to recover a boot-loop'ed phone.
The 2 options that people recommended are:
1. RE-Flash the ROM.
Maybe it wont delete the files.
2. Wipe everything and hope that the file is recoverable with one of the software's.
A. What do you recommend?
B. Did someone try any of the recovering software's with any luck of actually recovering?

Your bootloader is locked, correct?

If your bootloader is unlocked you can try flashing TWRP recovery which has a built in file manager and mtp function to copy files to computer. You can also try to "dirty flash" another lollipop rom which will not wipe the data, but may not work.

Yeah, this is the only option, however, this can only happen if his bootloader is unlocked

unfortunately, the bootloader is locked.
what are the chances that "Dirty Flash" wont delete the files?
and what rom should i flash? the same build or maybe try to flash kitkat insted...?

Unfortunately, as far as I know you can't flash any Rom's while your bootloader is locked. You need either fastboot or a custom recovery to flash a custom ROM and both need an unlocked bootloader.

and flushing the same STOCK rom that i got as OTA should work or does it only work with custom ROM's?

i've looked again.
seems that the bootloader is unlocked!
so, should i flash a TWRP recovery?

Yes, after you've flashed twrp you should be able to access your files from a computer if you're booted in recovery.

soooooo.....
i flashed the TWRP Recovery.
very easy. no errors.
and it shows as the storage is completely empty! as if someone in all this time wiped everything...
so now, what recovery software do you know/used/heard of?

When the storage is completely empty, are you booted in recovery, the bootloader or just trying to boot normally? When you say it's empty, do you actually see the device on your computer? If so, is it completely empty with no folders or files or anything, or just stock stuff?

Can you check mount and make sure all the storage volumes are mounted? It's usually blank when they are all manually unmounted.

Your device is corrupt. It cant be trusted and may not work properly. FIXED!

*** NOTE: Please excuse my English.
*** WARNING: I'm not responsible if anything happens to your device, I'm just sharing my experience and what I did to fix my own phone. Proceed at your own RISK.
I bought my Nexus 6p 64gb and as soon as I took it out of the box, I went directly and followed the guide here. So i unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP as a custom recovery, flashed CM13 + OpenGapps.
I noticed that every time I boot my device I get this warning:
Your device is corrupt. It can’t be
trusted and may not work properly.
Visit this link on another device:
go.co/ABH
and it does not seem to be a normal warning because when my OS boots up it shows me this
"Android system:
There’s an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details"
Later on when I updated to the latest nightly image my camera crashes and doesn't function properly. I also already has an issue with Bluetooth and "Bluetooth share" crashing but that was unrelated. Anyways I was crippled in my day to day usage. Then I thought that I need to fix this asap because it might cause performance/security/hardware problems in the future.
So basically the fix is you should flash the latest bootloader image and radio image. Personally I wanted to start clean and make sure I have no corrupted files so here is what I did,
1. What i did is erase all boot, system, kernel & recovery files by typing the below command using fastboot just incase they were corrupted,
(Note: YOU DONT NEED TO DO THIS STEP, but i prefer starting clean incase i had some corrupted files. YOU WILL ALSO LOSE ENCRYPTION DOING THE FIRST STEP)
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
Source: http://devs-lab.com/...i-nexus-6p.html
2. Then i flashed the latest factory images in this sequence using fastboot, which can be found here: https://developers.g...s/images#angler
(Note: 6.0.1 (MMB29M) was latest image at the time i did this. For people who are doing this for the first time, then you just need to download the image then extract the needed files from it)
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-angler-angler-xx.xxx.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-angler-angler-xx.xx.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot format userdata
fastboot reboot
Source: http://forum.xda-dev...operly-t3268407
3. From there i reflashed TWRP using fastboot, then flashed the latest beta SuperSU v2.62 at the time, and then CM13, then OpenGapps, then again reflashed SuperSU v2.62 just incase, lol. (Do not flash the version of SuperSU that TWRP offers to flash for you in order to give you root, it is not compatible and will cause problems. When using TWRP before you've actually flashed SuperSU 2.50+, when you attempt to reboot out of TWRP it will tell you that it's detecting that you don't have root and it will offer to root for you, skip past this.)
What got fixed ?
-FIXED, this won't show up anymore:
Your device is corrupt. It can’t be
trusted and may not work properly.
Visit this link on another device:
go.co/ABH
-FIXED, this won't show up anymore:
Android system:
There’s an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details.
-FIXED, Camera is working !
-NOT FIXED, "Bluetooth share" still crashes but I think its unrelated to this issue.
Hope this helps everyone as it helped me, thanks.

Followed your guide, thanks, but the message "Your device is corrupt. It can’t betrusted and may not work properly." still appears during a CM boot.
The message "There’s an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details" appears when I boot into recovery (TWRP)
The camera is working now.
Also, before I was able to flash CM-13 I had to do "WIPE >> Format Data" from TWRP, otherwise CM was exiting with error 7.
The following packages were used:
original 6.0.1 (MMB29P) factory image
BETA-SuperSU-v2.66-20160103015024.zip
cm-13.0-20160115-NIGHTLY-angler.zip
open_gapps-arm64-6.0-micro-20160115.zip
twrp-2.8.7.2-angler.img
I also noticed that when rebooting into factory image, the same warning message appears as well.
Any way to fix it or did I do something wrong?

Why are people trying to fix an non issue? To get rid of the message you need to relock the bootloader which is more of a risk if your rooted. Its a message that only appears for a few seconds when you reboot and you don't need to do anything to get past it.
There is no corruption and the phone is trusted by YOU as you unlocked it and nothing else cares. Where is the issue?

It's just telling you what you already know. You modified your system partition yourself so don't worry about it.

Thanks. I read it in the original Heisenberg's unlock guide and was surprised when I read this post that it was possible to get rid of the warning message without locking the bootloader .

I'm new here in the forum's..I usually just read and carry on..the one think I'd like to say is..I don't understand why people got to say 'why you doing that for, ya don't need to' far as I know..this an educational site to learn..if he wants learn how to get rid of the warning..I don't see any problems in that whatsoever.

The message "There is an internal problem with your device..." seems to be related to the security patch version. This was my biggest issue, the message I get when booting the phone was annoying and I knew it was not a big deal, but having an internal problem warning was concerning, flashing the vendor image was the solution for me. But if you like to start clean then I have the steps written, but if you update then again you'll get the warning when booting up.

I think what people are trying to say is the risk/reward for getting rid of the message is not worth it. Especially since its just a brief warning you only see during boot. Just flashing twrp recovery will give the red message. SuperSU will help get rid of it which is why the OP was able to remedy it. It will not work for everyone though. Modifying the bootloader is the only sure fire way to snuff it out for good and you would be a fool to try and mess with your bootloader for something aesthetic. That's how most real bricks happen, is when a bootloader gets corrupted.

Basically just flash SuperSU last in whatever sequence, and as long as it boots,the red message will be gone. But change anything after and it will probably come back. I have nothing negative to say about this thread. I originally posted the nexus link just so people can rest assured that it is not an actual problem and a normal, albeit annoying, side effect of modifying the Nexus 6p. Happy Flashing

Why did you flash vendor? Try clearing caches and then reboot. Let it sit for 10 min too while starting up.

Systemless unless you want to use xposed otherwise it doesn't matter. Systemless just makes it so you can use root apps like android pay. I use the 2.66 systemless. The instructions are a little all over the place on that thread. You no longer need a modified boot.IMG. the SuperSU zip patches whatever boot.IMG you have. So all you need to flash is the supersu2.66 for systemless or the traditional zip if going that route.

[Q] Twrp in android N

After i boot in twrp with n preview asking a password for decrip device. I cannot install any kernel,need change anything?

You need to flash a modified boot.img for it to be able to decrypt properly, there's a link in section 2 of my guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928

There is an updated TWRP that you can flash that is able to read/write and doesn't ask for a password.

Disable forced-encryption, and decrypt your 6P first. Here is my tutorial: http://www.droidorigin.com/decrypt-nexus-6p/
Once you have, you can flash TWRP easily.

So does twrp work at all with the n previews? How does one root the previews without twrp? Looking at installing the fourth one, but I'm not willing to lose root.

I accidentally let the OTA try to update from Preview 3 to 4. It stuck on the TWRP splash screen 3.0.2-0 (I think). It didn't seem to fail or anything but it just would never go past that splash screen. I was being dumb, updating without access to a C to A cable so I thought I was screwed but I decided to try something else out. I hit the BP Tools button on the Bootloader menu and for some reason that booted my phone up like normal. I then tried to see if I could boot it up normally. No luck, same TWRP splash screen. BP Tools worked again, but I know its some developer setting and I don't want to mess with anything that could mess me up later. Does anyone know how to get past the TWRP screen? Also anyone know why BP Tools would boot but the regular boot wouldn't work? I guess this is what I get for being a dumbass. I knew I shouldn't but I get so damn excited about updates!
Thanks a lot.

if you have a backup (titanium or nandroid), or don't mind starting from scratch you can make TWRP work with DP4 by:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata

There's got to be a way to get around the encryption problem without decrypting the phone...
Would this work: when twrp asks for passcode to decrypt, say skip. Then take the SuperSU zip from my computer and put it on my phone via USB, and flash it from twrp.
Would it work even though twrp can't read my storage?

If your phone is encrypted, the only twrp that works is 3.0.0.0
You can use it to adb sideload supersu zip and root the phone. But won't be able to mount my partitions as it cant decrypt the phone.

PLEASE HELP!!! Phone stuck in bootloop, will not boot. Will not boot into recovery.

I've had my Moto X Pure for over a few months now. After rooting it, i installed TWRP 3.0.2 and have had different roms and not come across any problems regarding a hard brick. I was using my phone on the CM 13 Rom, and it was bugging out, so i tried to reboot. After trying to reboot, it would come to the WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED SCREEN and not boot past that, let alone get into the actual loading screen. Now, i cant boot into twrp. When i try to enter recovery mode, it goes to the TWRP screen, and sits there without proceeding. I cant boot the phone, or boot into recovery. I can only boot into the bootloader. ANY AND EVERY ADVICE IS APPRECIATED THANK YOU!!!
Edit: I fixed it. had to manually extract and reflash some files from a very useful restore to stock tool.

Can you get it into fastboot mode? If you can, it sounds like somehow the recovery is corrupt and you would need to use 'fastboot erase recovery' first, and then 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' (using the twrp .img flashable file of course)
I hope that does the trick. Only think I can think of other than that is look for the automated return to stock tool for the moto x 2015 and use that.

thanks

I honestly have no idea what the problem was. But i downloaded and used someones lollipop restore to stock tool, literally restoring to the original state you got the phone in, and it worked. I believe it had something to do with the rom, and possibly some xposed modules i had installed, but there was nothing that actually messed around with the phone's system files. I couldn't access recovery in anyway whatsoever, but my advice to you is that if you ever need help because the phone is potentially hard-bricked, see if it connects to PC and if it does use the restore to stock tool.

Nothing it just vibrates as soon as i hit factory reset then bootloops now it wont even go into recovery just fastboot screen but cant get fastboot to work at all and have all drivers android studio etc. Nothing will work need a new solution

It was hash kernel it corrupted all 64 gigs of storage and music etc. Had to return to stock via auto flash firmware.

Mine is XT1572 device. Since the mentioned tool was not available for this model, I took the chance with XT1575 tool. It did all the steps but the issue has become worse. Now, my device is automatically getting On and OFF in seconds and does not boot beyond the bootloader 'unlocked' warning screen. Please please please help !!!!

Need help !

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.
