Nexus 6p crashed and bootlooping - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

my nexus 6p just recently crashed while using it, and began to boot loop.
the only thing i can do is boot to fastboot. no splash screen, no recovery.
rom installed was StatixOS android pie, Recovery was TWRP 3.2.3-0, and rooted with Magisk 17.
i had everything except for magisk for a week or so, before eventually flashing magisk, and used it for about another week until now.
i know statixOS rom informed of flashing a BLOD fix if i was on 4 cores, which i did not do since, to my knowledge, i was still using all 8. i am aware of the 6p having bootlooping issues and have tried flashing the fix from here: https://www.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p-bootloop-fix/
i have also tried the modified recovery.img from the statixOS post with no results.
any help would be apreciated.

Okay, something similar happened to me today. The only difference being that I just flashed Magisk and it started happening immediately. I am able to flash a system image and get it to boot once. But Once booted though it loses the recovery. So I tried flashing the twrp before that first boot which asks for a password to decrypt the device and it was not encrypted in the first place. Any password I tell it just erases is the phone next time it boots. If I leave the system image I can get one good boot. So this boot is good I can load my info to the phone but it has so little battery that it dies before I can do much else. Once dead if I try to boot it, it loops. So I flash another system image and the cycle repeats. So I also tried flashing a stock image then adb sideloading a custom ROM and although the progress bar on the phone fills up, the percentage that my dos window shows only gets to about 46%. The phone states that it loaded successfully but the ROM won't boot. I think this is because its encrypted? That's just a guess, as I am no dev of any kind.

I don't think your issue is caused by the same problem.
Yours might be caused by magic, and I've read v17 has had issues in the past.
I can't get into recovery at all, regardless of what I flash.
Even the nodded versions of tarp to use 4 cores.

well i think this same thing happened to me while trying to flash the same rom, the only other issue is that my vol down doesnt work so i have no way of booting into fastboot that i am aware of. my phone is useless now.

i think there is something wrong with that modded recovery and rom. this is kinda strange.

My 6p also crashed after flashing the latest statix os and magisk. It crashed in the middle of the night. Now it goes into indefinite bootloop showing the google logo and warning screen. I tried flashing stock firmware several times and also the 4 core patch but still no signs of life. Please update if anyone has a fix. Tried the 4 core twrp too. but cant get even to the recovery.

You need to open the phone, I know it sucks.
Anyhow, I just managed to help one member from the StatiXOS community by let him flash this recovery.
Try to flash it via fastboot and try to boot up into recovery.

Did you wipe the internal storage after you flashed StatiXOS? This step is necessary.

I was running Statix rom for a day before it crashed on me. I installed magisk and the EX kernel on top of the statix build. My phone crashed in the middle of the night while i was sleeping.
I found my phone low on battery next morning and when i put the phone on charging I found it bootlooping endlessly.
I tried entering recovery through bootloader but phone was not going into recovery. No matter what option i click on the bootloader i.e. factory reset or recovery, it shows the warning screen and then the google logo and restarts to do the same. I tried flashing stock rom and it flashes without any errors. But still the same result, BOOTLOOP. I cannot get my phone into recovery be it stock or twrp.
I even tried flashing the 4 core recovery in the OP, but 6p is still adamant on the bootloop cycle.

there's your problem. Don't install any custom kernels, especially since EX hasn't been updated for Pie. Also, you may have a dud battery. Have you re-flashed TWRP?

My current situation is that no matter what i flash through my bootloader, let it be twrp, stock rom, 4 core recovery or each individual file from the stock image through fastboot commands, it restarts to bootloop.
My battery was replaced few months back and was giving me solid standby time, so cant blame it. All i am trying is to get to boot my phone to recovery which it refuses. Cant understand whether its the file system that is damaged, but my flashes returns me no error, and also i formatted through fastboot whichever partition i could. Still cant see any life.

I am having the same issue. I was running Statix with no custom kernel or magisk for about a week. My device just randomly went into boot loop. I tried to flash back to stock file by file... still bootloop. I flashed that 4 core patch and the twrp... still bootloop. I can get into recovery, but I don’t know what to do from there because no matter what I flash, it always ends up in bootloop. Any ideas?

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.

If your able to boot into bootloader you can try to reflashTWRP or flash the original recovery and the original system files.

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

Can you tell us what fixed it? Do you know if it was firmware related? Was it the recovery? I have multiple people on this device all on custom software, always interested to find the cause of these types of issues for future reference. And most importantly, glad you got it resolved!

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.

Were you on marshmallow before you used the restore to stock tool? I thought downgrading android versions was a no-no currently.

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 !!!!

Help needed. Urgently

I had installed cm 13 and tried installing a new kernel but i guess since i was on a old version it didn't work out. So i proceeded with putting the old kernel back *sandy kernel* however now when the phone opens up i put my pass code it shows the background for a split second with a system ui crashed error and back to lock screen. hence i tried installing a recovery again (twrp hybrid) since the latest roms use that and I wanted a new rom anyway. But i thought id back my stuff up but alas the system ui error doesn't allow me to do so. Finally i ended up by using fastboot to flash the new recovery but even after it said OK ! my phone won't boot into recovery.
So now i am stuck with a OP2 that boots into cm13 but cant get past the lockscreen, a recovery that won't load and a fastboot mode that is the only working thing.
God I really shouldve backed it up i know. But is there a way I can resolve this without losing my data?
I have an exam and the notes are in them.
Help is appreciated !

As I said. the method i showed you is most certainly the solution. But you need a Computer and yes, 1gb is propably too much for mobile data
Maybe, just maybe if you flash OOS-Firmware it might help. But i dont know for sure.
So i finally managed to get into twrp 2.8.7 (lollipop)by this http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=16684

HELP. Phone stuck on black screen after installing SuperUser.

Hey guys, I'm a little devastated. Hoping I didn't ruin my phone.
So, earlier today I unlocked my Moto G4 Plus's bootloader and installed TWRP recovery. I installed ElementalX and a superuser.zip file as well. After reboot, there was no superuser in my app drawer and when I checked my root status with Phh's Root Checker, it said that my phone was not rooted properly. I then found the guide here on how to root, and noticed that it had Phh's SuperUser. I changed the config.txt file like mentioned in the guide, booted into TWRP recovery and installed it and clicked on reboot. I got the usual bootloader unlocked message, but after that my screen went blackish-grey and has been that way since, which is about 15-20 minutes now. I (panicking and being a noob) tried switching it off using the power button which didn't work. I then checked to see if it showed up as connected device in android sdk/fastboot, which it didn't.
WHAT DO I DO? I can't just buy another phone since I can't afford it as I recently bought this one, so it's a really big deal for me. :crying:
PLEASE HELP ME.
Thank you.
UPDATE.
Hey guys,
First of all, thank you for the replies. I'm sorry I couldn't reply to them.
Secondly, a few things have happened since the OP. Keep in mind I had absolutely NO internet during the following events, so I couldn't do any research.
The night my phone went black screen, I went to sleep thinking i'll let it die out of battery and work the rest out in the morning. So the next morning I put the phone on charge and went into the bootloader. I tried doing a normal reboot which didn't work (I got the same screen) so I went into into bootloader again, connected the phone to my computer (it got recognized this time) and re-flashed TWRP. I went into recovery mode on the phone and tried re-flashing ElementalX and superuser. This time I got an error when trying to flash the superuser.zip, and the error was:
Updater process ended with ERROR: 1
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/superuser.zip'
I had another supersu.zip in my phone storage, tired installing it and got the same error.
When I tried doing a normal reboot into my system, it goes on a boot loop on the "your device is unlocked" screen and has been that way ever since.
What do I do now?
Should I try to re-flash TWRP and superuser with the right files, or should I restore stock recovery? I don't have any backup. (noob mistake)
I'd highly appreciate it anyone linked me the proper twrp and superuser or stock recovery files and if possible guided me on what to do.
PLEASE HELP ME.
thank you.
UPDATE #2
So I did what abhi212b told me to do and flashed the stock rom. Everything is fine now.
I'll try rooting it again a bit later. Thanks for the help.
UPDATE #3
I tried rooting my phone again, and it went flawlessly this time! Rooted successfully.
What an emotional rollercoaster lol.
Push the power button for at least 2-3 minutes. Worked for me and others in the past.

Like the poster above stated, hold the power button until the screen shuts off. YOUR PHONE WILL AUTO REBOOT!!! The instant the screen turns off, begin holding the volume down button. When you see the fastboot screen pop up, begin flashing your N images again, or use a custom ROM (which are generally much faster, easier to mess with, and easier to recover from).
Ex didn't flash properly.. That is what I can estimate! If u root on stock kernel, it breaks the device.
As said above go to bootloader (works on any screen... Power and volume down) and then to twrp maybe (flash twrp from fastboot). And then restore any previous nandroid u have.. If not u will have to flash stock via fastboot and then flash ex kernel. When u flash, restart and go to about phone and see if the kernel shows elemental x.. If yes, go to twrp and root it via suoersu, phhh's superuser or magisk su.. Whichever u like.. That should be fine!

Best is that u should flash stock rom, since the phone is bootlooping...
U can find it here https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-xt1640-43-athene-npj25-93-t3549369
Flash it on bootloader screen via fastboot.
Do not relock the bootloader. Skip that step and also do NOT flash bootloader.img and partition. That can mess up the device.
once this is done, boot the device once... Finish the setup and then flash twrp.. Then flash ex kernel then flash any root Zip. (supersu, magisk or phhh's superuser)
Twrp can be found from here. https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...p-twrp-3-0-2-2-recovery-moto-g4-plus-t3386586

Only the last SuperSU Beta defaults to systemless install. Any other ones require writing of a .SuperSU file to force systemless before rooting.

If you have not done this already, you can give it a try by flashing the stock boot.img via twrp and see if that boots the device.
I am not sure that it will work since, i have not tried it.
Exact same thing with the XT1625. I have also found that the systemless method of rooting with SuperSU kills my wifi and cellular network's connection abilities, which might just be a standard G4 thing but the only way I know of to fix it is reflashing the OS (data wipe not necessary).
Just thought this might be helpful to anyone who ran into similar issues to the ones I had.
also i'm still having issues with the stupid thing actually rooting but i'm gonna try again some other day.

I think that is the kernel issue.. you should try EX.. and then use SuperSU or maybe use Magisk SU..

Best is that u should flash stock rom, since the phone is bootlooping...
U can find it here https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-xt1640-43-athene-npj25-93-t3549369
Flash it on bootloader screen via fastboot.
Do not relock the bootloader. Skip that step and also do NOT flash bootloader.img and partition. That can mess up the device.
once this is done, boot the device once... Finish the setup and then flash twrp.. Then flash ex kernel then flash any root Zip. (supersu, magisk or phhh's superuser)
Twrp can be found from here. https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...p-twrp-3-0-2-2-recovery-moto-g4-plus-t3386586

Had the same problem as OP and this fixed it, thanks a lot man!
Good to hear now the phone is alive!

Unresponsive screen

I'm running h918 and never had a weird issue like this with any phone. I flashed Resurrection ROM latest version and Gapps with Magik 14.0 . The ROM won't boot which happens but when I go into twrp my screen is nonresponsive. Won't recognize any touch at all. I can get in fastboot mode also. Is there anything you guys could suggest trying to fix this cluster.Ive never had a ROM not boot then not be able to use twrp to fix. I didn't update to the latest bootloader were u can't roll back yet,if that would matter ..

The latest lineage source code is causing major issues with the v20. In order to fix the touch screen issue you need to reflash twrp through fastboot, or rerun dirty santa from step 3. Basically automates the fastboot stuff. Any rom that is using the latest lineage kernel trees for the the v20 is affected by this bug. I read somewhere it compiles with a corrupt ramdisk. Also flashing the werewolf 2.0 kernel fixes the unresponsive screen in twrp.
How can I flash werewolf? I've tried in adb fastboot..Dude this is frustrating as fk..I'm trying not to throw this phone against the wall..Been trying for hours

You can put the phone in fastboot mode and rerun dirty santa from step 3. Should reflash twrp and boot and get you into a working twrp. If you can't use fastboot ( fastboot flash boot "name of boot".img and fastboot flash recovery "name of recovery".img) - make sure the boot/recovery image is in the same directory as fastboot and ADB then the only thing you can try is grabbing a USB otg mouse and trying to use that once in twrp. Fastboot is super finicky so try renaming twrp and boot to simple names such as recovery.img and boot.img. Like I said rerunning dirty santa step 3 handles this automatically and after you should be able to power off and hardware combo directly into a working twrp. Don't really know what else to suggest.

Worst comes to worst you can always use lgup to kdz back to stock to get back up and running again. If you want root again be sure to use a of with an early security patch. Dec 2016 or earlier. H918 have lots of kdz available.
---------- Post added at 03:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:15 PM ----------
Also it doesn't have to be werewolf. Any working kernel in boot.img form for h918 can be placed in your fastboot directory and flashed. It will fix the broken touch screen as it is related to the kernel.
I don't think my fast boot is working...I've tried for 2 days .to flash twrp and a boot image ..Is it normal when downloading twrp to a windows 10 computer that the file is a disc file?It keeps saying corrupt..Or fastboot says no such file or directory but in adb and fastboot it always recognize my device ..Never had a issue like with this

Yes windows will read it as a disc image file and will give a warning about not being able to read it that's fine. Fastboot should work regardless of ADB. mine is installed under c :/android/tools. You have to navigate there using cmd in order for fastboot to work. Also make sure you have your working boot.img right there next to fastboot.exe. They should be next to each other. Fastboot cannot flash anything unless the images are in the exact same directory. If your boot/recovery images are in any other folder besides the fastboot folder flashing will fail saying it could not locate it. Dirty Santa step 3 does this for you. If fastboot is borked completely and you know everything you are doing is correct than boot into download mode and run lgup. It will get your phone back to running bone stock. Many people have faced the same issue with the broken touch screen and have gotten their phone back. Check out the rez remix and lineage threads and read a few pages back. Lots of info on there
Yep mine was remix too..I've been reading for a couple days..One more question..Since my computer updated it now gives me power shell and not command prompt when shift and double click to open a window..Is that a issue ..They are similar but different in commands..Mine is in platform tools that's OK right ? I have the boot and the twrp in there too

Power shell should work just fine but if you think it may be causing issues open cmd and use cd c:\pathtofastboot\pathtofastboot. That will get you into the correct directory. Then try fastboot commands as normal. But I haven't heard of powershell causing issues as I've used it myself without problems just never used it to flash stuff.
You'll know if the path isn't correct because command prompt will report back with "unknown command" errors. Platform tools is fine

Have you reflashed the recovery image as well? Reflashing twrp should fix it if you haven't. If that doesn't work I'm out of ideas

That really sucks sorry to hear that man. Really doesn't make sense considering it is due to the lineage kernel. Try contacting the op of the rez remix thread. He had similar problems and was able to fix it. Might be able to help. And if you need the phone back immediately there's always lgup. When you figure it out let us know how you fixed it. Could help a lot of people who flash the latest lineage builds or compile rez remix themselves.
Also the op of the return to v10m stock thread might be able to help. There's a lot of people having issues with fastboot
I GOT IT FIXED BRO....USED ADB SHELL WHILE IN TWRP AND RESTORED A BACKUP OF A STOCK ROM AND BOOOOOM..AFTER DAYS OF STAYING UP AND TRYING ..I NEVER KNEW YOU COULD DO THAT WITH TWRP AND ADB..MAN THANK THE LORD ..

That's awesome! Happy to hear it. Definitely good to know that an ADB restore of a working backup can solve touchscreen issues for people where fastboot is failing. Definitely stay away from lineage sources until someone reports that it's working.
I am for sure...thanks man

THANK YOU!!! I have a 2 day old US996 that I was ready to take a hammer to. Flashed latest Lineage and booted up after a very long time...only to find the touchscreen not responding. I figured a ROM issue so I pulled battery and got back into TWRP but it also would not respond. At this point I figured it was certainly a hardware failure and I was freaking since I've unlocked the bootloader and it's no longer under warranty.
You are a lifesaver my friend. Many many thanks. Reflashing TWRP with fastboot worked a trick. Never seen a ROM completely disable a portion of the hardware. lol

Glad to hear it! Some people have been having issues with fastboot itself so nice to hear it worked well for you. A couple of members have figured out the touch screen issue and have uploaded the changes to Gerrit. Hopefully we will see it merged within the next few days. The firmware makefile within the kernel source was not calling the appropriate firmware images breaking the touchscreen in the process.

Question :: Why doesn't TWRP stick?

Hi there XDA, I've recently been having issues with custom roms and random reboots, so I decided to go back to stock. Going back to stock I used fastboot to flash the system and boot images. After some setup I wanted to get root. Instead of there being twrp I ended up with the stock recovery somehow. TWRP 3.1.1 seemed to stick, then I decided to upgrade to the most recent version. And it no longer sticks(TWRP recovery).
I just don't know what to do or what the cause for this to happen may be. My only thought is that I'll have to fastboot flash recovery every time I want to modify something.
Any way you guys would be willing to shed some light on what's going on for me???

probably since you are not rooted
@dirtyreturn What was said above go grab the latest magisk.zip and have ready in your storage. Then after flashing twrp head into and flash the zip. Should stick from then on I haven't had any issues.

I don't doubt you, this hasn't happened to me before since owning the device. It just started, like, May 1/2 after flashing stock 8.1 system and boot images.

So your flashing twrp after first boot, rooting and still won't stick?

Like, for two years I've had twrp on this device without any issue. Just all of a sudden after I fastboot flashed system and boot of 8.1 it just does not want to stay put.

When you flash system and boot images, root is removed. On Oreo, TWRP does not persist without root being maintained. I believe on Nougat or Marshmallow, this was not the case. When you booted into the stock rom, this restored the stock recovery.
Flash TWRP then boot directly into TWRP and flash Magisk. When installing new security patches, boot directly into TWRP and reinstall root.
