HI was wondering if you could help me fix my 6P booting issue, it seems to be bricked after trying to install an android 9.0 rom
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/development/rom-statixos-t3832438
^ that one in particular, I think i did something wrong because right after I flashed it with TWRP it completely blacked out, and nothing comes on the screen. My computer will recognize it but can't seem to recognize its software. I have tried to put it into recovery mode with the buttons and it doesn't work, however my computer makes a noise as if I have plugged in the device. I am not quite sure what to do, could you help?
Here's what I had done, downloaded the ROM, TWRP FBE (it was supplied as a download link) and GAPPS. I went into TWRP, it required me to put in a password (I assume that this is because when my phone boots it requires a password to get into the OS and I don't know how to remove it). I put in the same password to TWRP, got in and did a complete wipe of everything, I then installed the ROM & Gapps, then rebooted the device and once I did it went black and nothing happened. I tried to reset it to the bootloader/recovery with the buttons and nothing happened... however, when I plug in and unplug the USB in my laptop its still able to tell that a device is hooked to it but doesn't recognize it. When I hold the buttons down to get into recovery my computer recognizes that its there but not that its in recovery mode while the screen is black. I can't seem to get Skipsoft toolkit or NRT to recognize it. Can someone please help me fix this? I think that this is a hard brick issue and I am trying to fix this as soon as possible. Please if its more convenient call or send me a text to communicate faster I am using hangouts 8594100253
Sounds for me like if the phone were in EDL mode. Check if its in EDL mode by reading and understanding this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guide-how-to-bring-to-life-dead-nexus-t3581948

As the title says, I wanted to try CM installer, and I was on everything stock, not rooted. I downloaded PC, and android programs, followed the instructions, however at one point CM installer on my PC said it cannot communicate with my phone, and it was when it was trying to flash recovery. It said I should try different cable, or USB port, but no luck with either, and now it says my phone is not supported.
I tried to enter recovery, but I only get CM guy and it's stuck, even when I turn off the phone, it turns itself on automatically, and to fully turn it off I need to enter fastboot mode, and then turn off. I tried flashing full stock image (I know how to do that, and I have previous experience on this phone), but my fastboot crashes (Fastboot.exe Has stoped Working), tried to download fastboot again, but nothing helped. I also tried to flash recovery only, and I get the same thing... Also tried to do that with custom recovery, but nothing....
Is there something I can do, or do I need a new phone?
Also, I had like 70% battery when I started, so I am afraid to keep trying, cause if I go out of juice, it's game over, right?
Looks more like issues with your pc communicating with your device, which might have causes other side effects due to that. But I have not tried CM Installer yet.
You should see about getting fastboot working correctly first and getting the right adb/fastboot driver (such as latest Universal Naked Driver, link in my sig). You should also use the latest adb/fastboot .exe from Google, download their latest ADT package. If it still crash, use it on a different machine, if you're on Windows 8 try Windows 7 or Ubuntu.
Also make sure the factory image isn't corrupt, I always have issues downloading it from Google.

If the battery goes to 0%, just charge it, do you think everyone throw away their N4 when the battery goes to 0? There is the red light problem, but its an easy fix.
Thanks for answering, I fixed it with a strange method (to me). On CM forum j_cor told me this:
"Your device appears to be stuck in sideload. So the good news is no, you are not bricked. Here is what I would try to do:
1. Boot the device - wait for the "stuck" CM guy to display
2. Plug phone to PC and open a command prompt to the directory to C:\Users\enter_your_name\cminstaller\bundle\win32
3. from the prompt "C:\Users\enter_your_name\cminstaller\bundle\win32>" type "adb.exe sideload ClockwordMod.cer" (no quotes) and hit enter
4. This will try and sideload this .cer file and will fail - but it should kick you out to the main recovery screen. Select the Reboot option from Recovery
5. Device should boot back up. It will most likely still be the stock ROM. My guess would be that something disrupted the sideload process when installing the system.zip with CM."
However, this did not fix my problem, but it got my phone to communicate with fastboot. So I was able to flash custom recovery, and do a factory reset, which brought me to the stock ROM, I flashed CM the old-fashioned way then.....
And my PHONE IS UP AND WORKING AGAIN!!!
The main problem in communication was that phone blocked every time I booted into fastboot, and plugged USB cable in.... It immediately became unresponsive to any commands, after I did this, phone wasn't getting stuck in fastboot, so that solved my issue.
Hi,
yesterday I got d802 phone to fix it. First the phone was stuck at LG screen with certification error which I fixed. Phone was recognized by PC and i installed twrp on phone. I tried everything (i guess) and now phone is stuck at LG screen and it doesnt move. Now i cannot go back to twrp recovery but i can get to download mode but phone isn't recognized by pc so i cannot flash kdz file to phone. I'm really stuck at this point. Is this real hard brick or is there any way to fix it? Any ideas what should i do or something i can try?
I tried to plug phone in other computers and it's the same thing. My laptop recognized that something is plugged in once but it didn't know what was it so by now. Somehow from time to time phone doesn't go to download mode but it goes in hardware key control mode.
Hope someone can help...
So far i manged to get to recovery mode but adb sideload isn't working. I tried to wipe everything and that didn't help. As we speak factory reset is in progress but I think it's stuck on formatting cache. I hope I'll be able to get the phone recognized in download mode. Any suggestions are appreciated
I have made some progress. ADB is working now and i pushed cyanogenmod and on installation it says that it cannot mount data and cache. I think that main problem is that phone isn't rooted and now I'm trying to root phone via adb. If someone knows anyway to do this that would be great
bought this phone used and I don't think it was rooted but never checked, confirmed. Last night it turned off and will not turn on anymore..
Tried the pwr button for several minutes and no change. Plugged it in with several different cables and no change.
Any other suggestions or options? USB to computer detects something but says it can't install the driver.
Any ideas?

Can you enter to the bootloader menu? Maybe you can enter recovery and wipe the cache and dalvik

negative, either the phone is totally dead or the screen is dead but NOTHING happens when pwr is pressed
here is what I have tried:
1. Press and hold PWR button for over 3minutes
- Plugged in and unplugged into ac - no change
2. Press and hold volume DOWN + Pwr for over 3minutes
- Plugged in and unplugged into ac - no change
3. Plugged into different a/c power outlets with 2 different chargers - no change
NOT sure what else to try or do?
Funny thing is if ya plug into a computer it does indeed detect "something'
However it says it can't load the USB drivers something about QU_***
Open to any ideas and suggestions.. WHILE I would love to get the phone working whats more high priority for me now is the 20gb's of pics that apparently did NOT back up.

Funny thing is- that "something" is the solution to your problem. Capture the error message completely and search the 6P forums for that. Several threads on the "something" issue.

fixed that issue, aka QHSUSB_BULK is now working properly according to Device Manager.. but Nexus 6P is not detected, and doesn't even show up in Disk Management either.
Any other ideas?

If you found the right EDL_9008 thread, there is Qualcomm software to download for your PC. If your phone is in the right downloader mode you can use the PC software with a special recovery.img. I don't know anything about it, just read through the threads long ago. It's a mixed bag with some success stories, some not. Keep looking though, I think you are on the right track. The original poster was "Tenfar" if I recall correctly. Good luck.
Try cleaning out the charging port.
Hi there,
I think we are in the same/similar boat. My phone shut off while using it (screen froze, then went black) and seems to have bricked itself. I *am* able to get mine to turn on, but only about once per day after it has been left plugged in for a few hours (although there is no indication it is charging while plugged in - never gets warm, no lights, etc.) I can get into recovery if I am lucky (usually get to the android bot laying on its back, then PWR+VOLUP just causes the phone to shut off instead of actually getting into recovery menu.) I've been able to clear cache/factory wipe from recovery menu with no luck. I never did unlock the bootloader so I am unable to use fastboot to do anything. I tried to flash a few OTA (full and incremental) images using adb when I am able to get into recovery, but they always failed in one way or another.
I've been trying the methods described in the 'tenfar' threads - using the xiaomi flasher and QPST tools. The xiaomi tool always fails for me. I have been able to get the QFIL tool to successfully 'download' about 3 times now, with tenfar's recovery images. However, after the success message, the phone doesn't do anything (I read in other threads it should reboot itself) - and after unplugging, the behavior of the device seems to be the same - just stuck and won't turn on at all.
Right now I think I am stuck in 'EDL' mode where the only evidence that the device isn't completely dead is that it shows up in device manager as 'Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3)', and the factory imager tools do recognize it.
It *seems* like the only way forward is to somehow get one of these factory tools to flash the right set of files onto the device - I've tried a few now with no luck. I even tried extracting the relevant *.img files out of the google factory image download and replacing tenfar's image files with them. I was able to load those onto the device with QFIL. This morning my attempt at turning on the device has me stuck on the white google logo, which is new behavior for me - usually it shows the logo for ~5-10 seconds then the device powers off. I've left it on for a while stuck on the white google image, but I'm not sure if I'm doing anything useful here.
Here are my reference threads:
tenfar's 'debrick' thread
QFIL thread
If anyone has any crazy ideas, I am open to try them. Thank you.
Maybe disable big cores?

I have the 100% same issue. Screen froze,then went black and now its stuck in EDL mode. I need my data. Recovery access or anything else would be fine/enough for me. I have had LineageOS and TWRP on the device. With TWRP i can access my data.
How have you got your device on? Mine dont start once a day or so. Its always in EDL mode ( 9008 ).

Sorry bud - I never was able to get any further than when I posted this. I eventually gave up, got a full out of warranty refund through my CC after the manufacturer wouldn't help me at all, and upgraded to a Pixel XL. I still do have the device, I should try to boot it up again . I didn't have any data concerns on my device so I was able to give up... good luck!
Hello guys, how are you today ?
I will do my best to write properly (french, sad)
So, i unlocked my phone with no problem. I tried to install a working TWRP. The ADB command to install was easy, but impossible to boot in twrp with the boot command on ADB.
I understood that i just needed to press up and power to open TWRP.
I putted on my OTG USB KEY the xiaomi.eu weekly ROM for my phone.
I formated only DATA, and i began the installation.
I had an error, and after my OTG was not recognize.
I just putted up and power to reboot the phone and try again.
But i dont know what happened, black screen, impossible to boot on something, i tryed to hold power 15 sec and nothing work, impossible to go to fastboot mode.
The phone is recognized on windows but nothing more.
I searched on the net and my phone is bricked. I need to open it to press ELD.
I found someone who has ELD permission for 12$.
Now i just want to know if someone can explain me how to open without damage the phone and how to be in ELD mode.
Thanks you and have a nice day.
I guess you could try to buy an EDL cable instead.
How you see phone in device manager?

Can you get into fastboot
My phone was completely stuck in black screen impossible to go on fastboot mode.
Luckely, i dont know how but my phone was recognized like if i was in EDL mode.
I contacted an asian man on WhatsApp, he putted his logs on miflash to allowed EDL flash.
My phone is Alive now!
Where Can i buy an EDL cable if i need it ? It replace the open of the phone?
Good evening! I hope you can help me.
I flashed LineageOS 14.1, but I wanted to go back to EMUI. I made all the wipes and tried to flash different stock firmwares through a forced update (volume buttons + power button), but it never worked. At that point, I read about a guy in this forum who suggested to create a flashable zip with Huawei Update Extractor: I followed the suggestion and tried to flash it with TWRP. No error was given, but when I tried to restart, TWRP told me I had no OS installed. I thought it was strange, so I tried to restart anyway. That's when I got in rescue mode. I can't get into the recovery and I can't use fastboot. What rescue mode shows me is:
RESCUE MODE
Attention!
Please update system again
Update User Guide:
*link*
*android avatar*
Error!
Func NO: 10 (boot image)
Error NO: 2 (load failed!)
Pressing the three buttons, I'm able to force an update. The problem is I can't find a firmware that doesn't get rejected. With Lollipop firmwares, it starts to install, but it fails at 12%. With Marshmallow ones, the installation process doesn't even start.
What can I do to make it work again? I'm very sad because this phone was gifted to me a couple of days ago and I already messed it up. I don't even know how to turn it off.
What can I do to get in fastboot mode? At that point, what should I do to flash the stock firmware? Or maybe do I need to find the first stock firmware ever installed into this phone to make the forced update work?
Please, I need help. Thank you in advance!
P.S. The phone's model is ALE-L21. I live in Italy, so I assume it's a European version.
Did you managed to fix this?

Not yet, but I'm working on it. I found out that the device is recognized by my PC if I follow these steps:
1. Connect the phone to the PC and wait for it to go in rescue mode;
2. Wait until the notification LED stops to blink;
3. Disconnect the USB cable;
4. Press volume - and power button;
5. Reconnect the cable.
At that point, the screen turns black and the phone is recognized as "㌲㔴㜶㤸". I installed the drivers and now it's recognized as "HUAWEI USB COM 1.0". I should be able to reflash the partitions and make my phone work again, but I'm still trying to understand how to do it correctly.
Any help is appreciated!

fastboot detects your device when you plug it into your computer?
I mean, if you run "fastboot devices" it shows your phone?
I've had this same problem but with an P8 Lite 2017, after flashing some ROM that supposedly was the stock one and trying to flash recovery I ended up with my phone bootlooping into rescue mode, I was able to "bypass" this thing rebooting my phone like crazy, seriously like after 20 reboot it finally booted into the damn ROM and I never touched the phone again. Sometimes when the phone ran out of battery and tried to power it on the phone booted into rescue mode and again after some reboots it booted to Android but now I want to install a custom ROM or at the very least root this damn phone so that's why I'm asking you if you have solved this, if you do then probably if I follow the same steps I would be able to fix that screen, hopefully.
If you are able to flash something start with flashing all recoveries your update.app has, maybe that's the problem (at least in my phone it is).

No, it doesn't show anything if I write that command...
I guess mine won't ever boot into the rom because it seems like there's no system installed. I made some researches and found out there are some softwares that let you reflash the partitions IF the phone is recognized as "HUAWEI USB COM 1.0". I'm still trying to figure out how to do it correctly though. I feel like if I do something wrong, then my phone won't probably turn on again.
In your case, you should be able to flash a custom rom without any issue. You just have to be very careful and inform you as much as you can: I don't want your phone to end up like mine?. Anyway, it seems pretty hard to go back to the stock rom, so think about it before you flash a custom rom. Also, make a Nandroid Backup is very important.
