hey guys... i was wondering if ANYONE can help. I am stuck on the boot screen after a bad rom.. my power button is no longer working... is there ANYWAY i can get the phone to be put in bootloader mode and re-flash the phone? Can i force the phone into auto bootloader via the sd card with a rom upgrade? This phone looks basically brand new and I would hate to have to get rid of it as parts... or in whole.. Please help!!! =-(

you can simply get the power button fixed... no need to get rid of the awesome device... and if you are stuck in boot menu then you can not use your sd unless the phone is working... just try to flash it again... well it automatically puts your phone in boot screen....
Hello. Guys i have a big problem that i need so solve fast. I just tryed to unlock the bootloader with SRKtool for huawei with the code from huawei site, but after it finished the device needed to restart, but it didn't! Now it's stuck on the unlock bootloader screen and i can't restart it. I'll try opening it and removing the battery and putting it back on. Would that restart device to normal? If not can u help me please? After i remove the battery i'll update.
P.S. I need to fix it ASAP, thanks in advice to everyone who helps me.

Hi all,
I'm sure I am still one of many that cannot use XCnathan32's solution to fix their phones. I think the biggest problem is that it is difficult to discern between hardware vs. software being the culprit. If hardware, nothing I do can help. I've wanted to use the solution but when the computer cannot even find the device/recognize it, I cannot even start the solution. Let me explain what my phone is like/ the state the boot loader is in:
Google logo is the only thing to show.
Even when trying to boot from bootloader -> recovery mode, it only goes to the google logo and boot loops from there.
Unfortunately I did not unlock developer options / USB debugging so my bootloader is LOCKED, my computer does not recognize the 6P at all unless in boot loader. It gives a strange description of the device, but does not treat it as a device in the device manager. Even if it does show I cannot update it's driver. It essentially seems like only the bootloader is a device rather than the phone.
I have tried leaving the device to boot in hopes of it miraculously starting and allowing me to go to developer options, this has failed as well.
Would anyone know/ be willing to explain how to proceed from here? I'm sure the options are limited when the device does not even show up on the computer.
Note: I don't know much about TWRP, ADB, SDK etc, its all 2 days new to me.
Thanks for any help!
Take a trip to home Depot. Put your heat gun above the finger print unlock after getting power to 5%. Profit.

I got it! Used a blowdryer though. Unfortunately it went back to boot looping even after I did a factory reset. I'm going to apply the fix now that OEM has been unlocked and USB debugging!

I'm currently writing a guide to get to the OEM unlock stage on your thread . Thanks so much for all of your work, my phone is currently booting. Its got the google logo with a unlocked pad lock on the bottom and then it switches to a section with android warnings saying "Device software cant be checked for corruption, please lock the bootloader".
Its actually bootlooping again... I've flashed all the images possible on your downloads part of the thread Not sure if there's another option to take to get rid of the bootlooping.

That's the exact guide I used. I also used his first guide before that one was published by XDA. It almost seems too simple though. I feel like I'm missing something. I flashed the 48B_A4 firmware, then the twrp3_1_1_4Cores.img and reboot. It still boot looped. I then proceeded to flash the other possible imgs to see if they would work. I cant flash the EX kernel since I can't boot into recovery since it just boot loops again.

Excuse my pessimism, but for real? I'm having the same issue, what exactly does this do?

This will throttle the big cluster of processors making it so the phone can stop boot looping by using only the small clusters.

Format all partition except for internal storage.
1. Flash N2G48B_vendor.img into vendor partition
2. Flash N2G48B_4Cores.img into boot partition
3. Flash purenexus_angler-7.1.2-20170725-OFFICIAL.zip
4. Flash BeansGapps-Full-7.1.x-20170610.zip
5. Flash EX4_1_1_4Cores.zip (Elemental Kernel), step up the core speed one notch on first screen, leave the rest on default.
Reboot.
Waited about 10min on the animation screen (4 dot jumping), eventually phone completed booting

sorry to hijack your thread, can i know the steps that you took to enable oem unlock ?
Because i am in your similar situation, all i can see is the google logo & bootloader is locked (i cannot go to the settings menu because the phone doesnt bootup, i am stuck in the google logo).
If i run the fastboot flashing unlocl it fails (since bootloader is locked)

You need to use a heat gun or hair dryer above the fingerprint sensor. Keep phone at low battery but not empty. 5%

How did you know your battery was at 5%? At the fastboot screen I see that the battery says OK, but not a specific number. Does that battery field change when it gets below "OK"?

This is my phone. Can you help me?
Hi there - I ended up having to use a blow dryer to throttle the phone using High heat. I wouldn't recommend it, it wasnt safe and my phone after fixing stopped working in an hour. If your phone isn't working despite following the fix above get a new phone, the pixel 3a seems like a nice new option, good luck!

OK, I don't have a bootloop problem per se, but I changed my battery and now it only goes to the Reboot bootloader screen. The arrow keys don't work to change the menu. Sometimes I can get it to Recovery mode, but neither the power key or arrow keys will work. Once I got it to the Start, but the power key did nothing. ADB devices returns nothing, so even though I installed the Google USB drivers in Android Studio I can't get the computer and the Nexus to talk to each other. I'm ready to try heating the device, but that goes against everything I've ever known about electronic devices. Are you sure? .

Don't heat up your phone, this thread is uselss for you.
I cannot get into the device and anything I've tried is failing, I'm entertaining myself with the boot animation, meaning I can't even get it to OEM Unlock, this tablet was my brothers, the OEM switch wasn't even on anyway, recovery is gone, the only thing I have is "Factory Mode"??? so that doesn't help and it's in Chinese so that doesn't help either, I would like an answer of whether I'm screwed or there's a solution
