Cant flash stock firmware on it and doesnt stay in media protocol - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. Well as the title says im having these issues. The main one is that im not able to flash anything on it using adb. I get a failed message. Everything was working fine until i flashed oreo on it 8.1. I was able to flash oreo with no issues but then once in oreo i couldnt flash twrp or another firmware at all and every time i connect it to a pc it stays on charging only and have to manually put it on media transfer. Could this be a software or hardware issue?
If i want to downgrade I just have to flash everything using adb right?

Has anyone had this issue?

The only time I have issues like yours is when my platform-tools folder gets wonky....so I just download the latest from Google and replace them all with the new ones. Maybe you have done this already but it doesn't hurt to try. Hope it helps

did you enabled developer settings and enabled usb debugging? and is your bootloader unlocked? I have no problems here on 8.1

I would do that and also make sure platrorm tools and drivers are up to date. Also check your usb ports on PC. Sometimes I have problems with one port but another works fine. Currently I have none of my ports work except one and only with a usb splitter weird right? Anyway check all those things and give it another try.

well it was actually my usb ports.. two of them just didnt work with fastboot but they worked fine with everything else like usb hubs, flash drives, etc... Althoguh I still got the problem when plugging it I have to change the setting on the phone for file transfer. Does it happen all the time in oreo? I havent gone back to nougat and try it out but when I was in nougat it was working just fine.
Another Issue I have is that I keep flashing twrp on it but everytime I restart the phone twrp gets delete and Im left with the regular recovery. Im trying with oreo 8.1

From the twrp website
"Download the correct image file and copy the file into the same folder as your adb and fastboot binaries. Rename the image to twrp.img and type:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot
Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install."
hth

Im having some weird issues. First I cant keep twrp on oreo, no matter what version of twrp I use it always gets deleted. Second, when going back to nougat twrp stays installed but I cant boot into the system what combo would you suggest?

HELP stuck on boot logo

hia all! I need a big help! I was following the procedure toi get the root to the stock rom. First strage thing was my usb debuggig option under developer option was gray so not selectable. I decided to proceed anyway and I've unlocked the bootloader (with the proper command I've checked and it was unlocked). hte first strange thing was that i did't get the reboot after unlocking as reported in the guide. but i've rebooted manually and then I've installed TWRP and everything was ok; then I've proceeded with installing SUper SU to get the root permission and here came the problem; after installed the zip via TWRP, during the reboot I realize I was stuck in the boot logo the rotating square/traingle and circle. PANIC. I've tried almost everything, also trying a adb sideload flash with latest oxygen but seems not working...(maybe usb debugging not enalbe is the reason for all my problems?) what went wrong? and what do I have to do now? please help!

Find an OTG cable, place the full 2.0.2 OOS rom on a USB key, go to recovery and don't forget to mount USB-OTG then flash the rom...
I have bricked my OPO several times by tweaking it^^
So I keep an usb key with rom, Xposed, Ti backup etc... and if there is a problem, just plug your key, it's easier than using fastboot commands from a computer...
I'm currently waiting for my OTG cable for OPT especially for this use.

Can't flash ROM's or use USB to ADB to flash/restore original Android OS.

HI all,
I've come from flashing Samsung S4's for years but after trying to flash an update I got the boot screen and nothing happens.
Here's the situation.
I had originally installed PureNexus, rooted, unlocked the boot loader and probably turned off USB ADB settings (and I don't typically want an alert when plugging in the USB cable) as I usually transfer media and ROM's to the download folder for future flashing.
I saw that 6.01 was released and saw that the bootloader and radio were updated. So I tried to flash those before updating with PureNexus 6.01.
I did a nandroid backup before I did this, knowing something might go wrong.
I think my camera wasn't working so I tried a nandroid recovery to get it back.
Unfortunately I didn't read about the password encryption bug which TWRP had as I did the restore in my car and didn't have internet as it was free down time. When it was completed, I got the failed password issue. So I decided just to format everything. I used TWRP and formatted everything including the vendor partition. Of course, I forgot it would delete the Nandroid, too. I'm too used to having a spare external SD card to store all of the Nandroids on.
Anyway after that I can only get to TWRP.
I've tried installing the original 6.0 ROM, PureNexus ROM through TWRP with the appropriate ZIP files. It says it's completed, no errors but just the boot screen.
I've tried restoring through ADB with Windows 10 and through the USB. I don't get to an ADB selection on the bootloader, but can get to the ADB sideload throught TWRP. The problem is when I tried to restore through ADB nothing happens as it says "waiting" when I use fastboot flash-all. ADB devices does give me an ID when I do ADB so it is connecting. However, I believe ADB is waiting for the USB-ADB to be turned on which I can't do because I can't get to the OS system partition.
I've tried using several of the Skip Soft Toolkit and again, it waits and says closed.
I'm assuming that USB-ADB is closed and not turned on. I don't know why TWRP can't overwrite the system partitions if I try to flash, unless it's still encrypted but shouldn't be as I formatted everything, except for the boot loader and that is unlocked as I get the screen that I should lock the bootloader because the OS can't tell if it is corrupted.
Any ideas? I can only think if someone sends me a Nandroid of a configuration that may flash it back to a level I can get into Android and then get back to USB ADB and do a clean install with fastboot flash-all.
Please help!! Thanks in advance for your suggestions. I hope I gave you enough information to help me out.
Update. I apparently found a way. Luckily TWRP has a Flash image feature as well as flashing the vendor image. Flashed PureNexus 6.01 and PureNexus Gapps and thank goodness that worked! No idea why ADB was not flashing except for the configuration for USB ADB was turned off on the ROM originally.

X720 bricked, kind of ;)

Hi. Looks like I fkced my phone. Was using Darkobas twrp, flashed this room and it boot-looped at the beginning (phone was turning on and off on the "Coolpad" screen). I can enter the recovery however can't transfer roms into the card. While pushing big files with ADB push (it takes few minutes) it randomly stops responding/hangs in the middle of a transfer. Tried multiple times and it stops randomly ( I've wiped/formatted whole storage )
I managed to flash another recovery 3.1.0.0 but still I need to push some rom to see if I can flash it. After PC reboot it stopped detecting my phone...
Fastboot is not working, power + vol down goes to black screen / turning off the phone.
Tool_all_in_one does not detect my phone. In fact I do not see it in Windows Device Manager. Tried different usb 3/2 ports
Commands in console like fastboot oem device info gives:
< waiting for any device >
adb reboot bootloader gives:
adb server version (39) doesn't match this client (36); killing...
* daemon started successfully *
error: no devices/emulators found
It's done guys?
Update: somehow managed to restore connection, so phone is visible in Device Manager as "Android Composite ADB Interface" .
Managed to push AICP ROM with adb but can't see it on sdcard. Usually, it was in the main directory, now nothing is there.
Adb sideload? It still seems to me like youre having connection issues w/the pc. Tried rebooting to fastboot from twrp menu?
1 - Enter Twrp Recovery
2 - Wipe -> Format Data then type "yes". This command gonna wipe your internal storage behold.
3 - After this reboot recovery and go to mount then enable mtp.
4 - Transfer rom file.And after a clean wipe flash it.
That rom have bootloader and some modem file that can bring up some issue mate.And those files belongs to Changer not to our beast.
Both device very very familiar but its different product anyway you can't trust it.
I RECOMMEND ALL OF PEOPLE GONNA FLASH ROM please first check the firmware files .If there, then clean it and wipe from the updater-script.
For an alternative you can flash your stock firmware files from QFİL but it's risky too.
Thanks for the replies. MTP was enabled all the time in the recovery. I have unmounted all partitions, repaired, formatted etc. After multiple tries, I managed to push and flash AICP rom. Good it's only ~500Mb. Transfer of bigger files was interrupted every time.
By the way this JUI ROM has replaced the starting screen. Phone is quietly squeaking for few seconds (in fastboot all the time) after every reboot on 'CoolPad' screen, similar to this 42sec 12000Hz. Any way to back to 'original' LP3 one?

Make sure you are not using a USB hub, or extension cable. Also make sure you are plugged directly into the PC motherboard, not one of the front ports. I had transfers stalling and it was my USB extension cable.

Sure, you need to flash the firmware files, download 23s from the official site, and fastboot flash all the files, that'll return you to stock fastboot, splash, etc.
Follow this guide (no need to format data, and flash system again, just the files in firmware update folder).

Can't flash anything using fastboot - "fastboot flash xxx.img" gives me: < waiting for any device > and nothing happens.
At the moment trying to flash stock 23s but it's hanging on "Patching system image unconditionally" for 5+ minutes already.
This JUI fcked bootloader in my phone somehow. It's blocked/can't be replaced or no idea what's going on here.
Edit: so ye after 20+ minutes of "Patching system image unconditionally" looks like I'm unable to flash stock 23s using TWRP 3.1.0.0.
Probably it wants to replace this fkn JUI bootloader and freeze there.
Wait, are you trying to flash complete official update.zip via twrp?? You cant do that. Find a 23s package customised for flashing via twrp, I think I used alba's package from 4pda

Is there any solution to restore Leeco bootloader? I just cant flash anything because device is unknown during fastboot mode. Tried to uninstall and reinstall driver but no luck.
I am stuck with coolpad bootloader which is not recognised from my pc. Serves me right because i didnt check the zip of jui which i flashed that had another bootloader, fml.
If any kind soul has any info on that please say it, thanks.

That is litterally what this whole topic was about? See my responses, if you still have access to twrp (dont see why wouldnt you), you can use it to flash a 23s "stock" rom through it (such a package will contain, among others, the leeco bootloader etc)

Yeah, I got rid of this JUBU bootloader after flashing stock-like rom. Also thanks to this there is no more strange noise during the boot sequence.

Ya, I heard that squeeling too, when booting, and in fastboot mode
Thes1ev thank you so much pal, i flashed 2 different 23s with all wipes and they gave me errors but your rom installed perfectly.

Unable to flash TWRP - ADB is (Waiting for devices)

Nevermind I think it was my USB cable. Changed cable and everything works fine.
Until today I had an older version of TWRP installed no problem but I have reset my phone so I could update TWRP and install a fresh ROM but for the life of me I can not get fastboot to detect my phone or install a new TWRP
ADB commands work fine but when I boot or command into fastboot it just doesn't detect my phone any more. I've tried a few different drivers for my phone and USB etc but still nothing.
Have any of you had this problem? I'm hoping I may be overlooking something.

Lost dash charge and USB connectivity

Recently lost the ability to dash charge and use my USB-C jump drive on my OP6T. I've flashed a couple of different ROMS, I updated to OnePlus6TOxygen_34.J.55_OTA_055_all_2107132253_b2cbbb97b4eee.zip, re-flashed another rom, I even swapped out the port with a new replacement I ordered. I'm out of ideas, the port is new so it doesnt need cleaning, USB debugging has been toggled and USB config set to file transfer. Computer doesnt recognize it using the original cable either. I'm leaning towards a software issue but i'm afraid to do too much flashing as I dont have my USB-C to fall back on as backup and would essentially brick the thing if I cant read from the jump drive. Any idead?
Are you able to run fastboot commands from the bootloader or adb commands in recovery?
Or even mount storage in recovery?

I'm able to get to get to fastboot, and now I just screwed myself out of TWRP and root by flashing a rom without TWRP. The PC will charge the phone, but wont see it. ADB sees no devices and Shapeshift's recovery doesnt have many options. Basically now i need to flash a recovery image by device only. and that still doesn't solve the connection and slow charge issue
Are you rooted with Magisk?
You should be able to install the twrp.zip from Magisk if so. If not the TWRP app in may work to get it back.
It sounds like you may need to try the MSM tool soon.
root checker says i'm not properly rooted anymore, i've only got the magisk.apk courtesy of google's restore. Looks like the official twrp app will download but not let you flash the img unless rooted. I'm hoping this is a software bug with the oxygen image since i replaced the cable and port and no fix, otherwise i'm gonna have to buy a new device.
and I dont think MSMtool will do anything if the phones not recognized. the all-in-one tool was useless since it didnt see the phone in fastboot
I am able to wirelessly ADB. but as far as i know, there's no way to flash recovery. As soon as i boot to fastboot I obviously lose wifi. any other ideas? i'm not familiar with wireless adb
