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!

Ok so should I use the Nexus root toolkit and start from scratch again? Yeah my bootloader is unlocked and I can see twrp so I must still be rooted ..just wiped my whole device that all thanks
Try re flashing the Vendor.img sounds like the vendor didn't get restored

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.

By reset do you mean restore it to "out of box" state? Then you need to restore your pre-root backup or flash stock via fastboot. But at this time locking the bootloader is not possible since we do not have the latest firmware, unless your device has older firmware installed (only the output of "fastboot getvar all" would tell us for sure)

Then you can chose the option that fit's best...
1) Unroot in the SuperSU app's Setting's menu with Full Unroot option. This will remove root but not restore the original recovery, most likely leaving TWRP in place, then boot into the bootloader, start recovery (TWRP most likely) and perform an advanced wipe including caches, user data, and internal storage
2) Boot into TWRP and restore your pre-root backup, then perform a factory reset. This may or may not remove TWRP depending on how you did the backup. If you booted TWRP and performed the backup, it should be essentially back to factory state including stock recovery, if you flashed TWRP first then backed up then TWRP will remain.
3) Restore to stock via fastboot with the latest factory image.
Your choice of which is most appropriate for your circumstances.

I unrooted in SuperSU and wiped in TWRP but Snapchat still won't let me login. Root checker confirms I'm not rooted.

After you have unrooted, clear data on Snapchat and then log in again (or uninstall and reinstall Snapchat).
I don't use Snapchat or Whatsapp, but my understanding is that you have to login before you root... if you have tried to login, it remembers you were rooted until you clear data.

I did this still no luck. Apparently if you even have an unlocked bootloader you can't log into Snapchat. So I'm gonna have to lock my bootloader. Any ideas on the easiest method of doing that?

Well, that shouldn't be it... but locking the bootloader is difficult depending on what version you are on now. The problem is you must flash a complete factory image to lock and we don't have the latest images.

No I'm almost 99% positive that that's wrong you don't need a locked bootloader to log into snapchat? Where did you read this??
@acejavelin is extremely knowledgeable and will be able to help you with any problem you come across, but you should not need to lock bootloader...anything I find says snap blocks root...and safety net is tripped by an unlocked bootloader. The two don't go hand in hand though. Snapchat doesn't use safety net.
Edit: if you're able to make a backup of a snapchat that is logged in using Titanium backup, and then install that backup onto your phone. Don't know if you have an extra device around though. But really confused as to why reinstalling didn't even work? Is there a chance that the unroot option in superSU did not remove root fully??

About 95% sure... Like I said, I don't use SnapChat, but to my knowledge the SafetyNet API doesn't check the bootloader status on Marshmallow devices, only on devices that shipped with Nougat (not that were upgraded).
There has to be some left-overs from root that are causing it to fail.

I doubt it will help, but you can backup and try it... Most likely something is still in /system, you need to restore your pre-root backup for system and boot and wipe caches. If you don't have that backup then reflash the stock image.

You can see a users signature and stats by tapping their icon.
No, they cannot be flashed in TWRP, must be done with fastboot.

Sometimes you need to flash stock/custom kernel. @jdugery

Hi
Does anyone have a full NANDROID Original Stock of a OnePlus 5? And will a full backup restore help lock the bootloader or needs to be in Manual Mode?
My phone was bought in UK. It's Stock Recovery and Oxygen OS 4.5.3 but can't flash the bootloader to oem LOCK.
Due to warranty issues since i'm giving my phone member i need to re-stock it.
Please Help.
How did you brick it? Can you get into fastboot? Can you get into recovery?

Unlocking the bootloader does not void your warranty with OnePlus phones.
Also, even if anyone had a nandroid backup at the moment, restoring /data using TWRP will cause bootloops. As long as you can get into fastboot/bootloader mode, you can safely flash stock recovery and then flash the full stock ZIP provided by OnePlus.

Why does restoring data gives you bootloops?
I have this problem now and can´t figure out why does restoring nandroid wont work
Download the full original firmware from oneplus site, flash via adb, it will works don't worry

If you have twrp - update will show "error",
If you have rooted 6.0.x - boot(kernel) is modified, system partition only if you did it. Bootloop is quite probable.
You need untouched: recovery, boot & system partitions.

I'm wanting to update my rooted Moto X Pure to Android 7.0 as well. The bootloader is unlocked and the phone is rooted with SuperSu. I have TWRP and a full system backup. System is still running Android 6.0 currently. How to go about the update?

Easiest way:
Backup all you need(PC, titanium B).
Wipe everything with twrp and flash N without locking BL:

Hi everyone!
A have a few questions:
1. I unlocked the bootloader, rooted and installed Gcam. After that I noticed that bootloader was locked back again. Is that normal?
2. If I unlock bootloader again, it will wipe all my data or this happen only on the first time?
3. My phone is on May Security update(8.0). If I want to update later to 8.1, i'll have to do everything again?
4. Can I unroot my phone? If I flash my stock boot.img it will become unrooted?
Thank you!:good:

1. Yes,
2. If you are using may security patch or newest, you will need to hold volume down when unlocking and locking bootloader to prevent wiping data,
3. You can flash twrp fastboot flashable zip updates manually if you wan to stay rooted. If you do not like manual update flashing, than you need to back completely to stock,
4. It is alway recomended to fully flash your device to stock for the best performance.
Hope it helps.

I just rooted to test Gcam.
If I restore images on Magisk and update via OTA, the system will keep gcam?
