Random bootloop. Need help. - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, I was BROWSING REDDIT, and an app starts downloading in the background. Which somehow caused google play services to crash, along with everything running on my phone. Then bootloop. Completely unprompted. Still at a loss here.
My nexus 6 is unlocked, no custom kernel or xposed installed, just running AOSiP 3.3 android 6.0.1. havent flashed anything other than that, which i flashed more than a month ago.
So, my troubleshooting thus far.
./fastboot oem unlock
...
(bootloader) Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Developer Options.

next i tried:

So, i'm kinda at a loss here. Recovery is failing to mount to storage, etc. Again, I was BROWSING REDDIT and this happened. I'd like to save my data at all costs. if anyone has any ideas, please, I am desperate. thank you.

Sorry but why open a new thread on the same issue? Did you think you would get a different answer than what you were getting in your original thread?

to condense, summarize and make clear what i have already tried, and to seek further troubleshooting to my issue. there must be someone with an idea of how to fix this. if not, does it really hurt the forum? i am a person with a problem, seeking advice.

While I agree it's good to summarize the issue and layout what you've tried to resolve it, it could have been done as a post in your original thread to avoid the clutter of having two threads about the same issue. I also think you got the correct answer in the original thread that, however it happened, your bootloader has somehow became locked and in all likelihood the device is beyond repair. Sorry to say so but that's the way I see it.

automatic update of some sort. it crashed my phone as soon as it was finished updating. didnt know a background app update could relock my bootloader and brick my phone. not sure why some are suggesting the bootloader is locked when it still displays status code 3 device is unlocked.

The only thing that I can think of is you could try formatting /system and /boot separately and then try again flashing the system and boot images???

This won't work as if the bootloader is locked, you cannot wipe/flash img files to the phone.
To answer your question OP, we can't tell you how this happened, or what the download was that happened in the background, we simply weren't there and don't know what you have installed to your phone. This line indicates that "Allow OEM Unlocking" is not enabled in Developer Options:
Code:
(bootloader) [B]Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Developer Options.[/B]
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.002s
With that not enabled, you cannot issue:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
You also cannot flash factory images to the device, or wipe the device either. I'm afraid that this device is bricked since it appears your bootloader is locked.

forgive me, but how can the phones bootloader lock itself? this is the fastboot screen still saying code 3 unlocked. sorry if i am stubborn, just refusing to believe my 300 dollar device bricked itsself while i literally did nothing. never seen anything like this.

Bricked N7?

Hi guys, i performed an all in one update to 4.2 from stock non rooted 4.1, it didnt work properly and now im stuck in fast boot screen with a locked bootloader.
i see the START button with the google icon, i can switch it between power off, recovery mode, restart bootloader. Start does nothing, power off works, restart bootloader works, recovery mode does nothing and says booting failed.
nothing works on the tablet its self, no matter what option i try i cant get out of that part.
I then downloaded WugFresh's all in one toolkit, ADB options are out of the question as that doesn't recognise in this part of the N7. fastboot stuff works, i tried pretty much ever option including the softbrick/bootloop recovery options and they don't even work.
When doing that, the command prompt that starts up spits this out:

I think you might want to unlock the boot loader first.
You would need to run the command
fastboot oem unlock
And that will unlock the boot loader which should mean that you can flash the ROM.
And then if you want to lock the boot loader again after flashing the ROM you would need to run
fastboot oem lock
Another example of why toolkits suck. If you can't do it manually don't, otherwise you will struggle with problems like this.
The update failed in some way because you still have the bootloader from 4.1.2. So long as you can get into the bootloader, you are not bricked though. Just got to unlock it and flash manually the update using the fastboot, method and you'll be sweet.

[Q] N6 is just DEAD,,, NOT OPERATING AT ALL(HELP!)

Hello, everyone.
So, about an week ago, I posted a thread to ask for your help regarding my broken N6. Since then, nothing has changed(but got worse, I guess...?). Here is what is happening with my N6 right now.
1) It powers up(thank god) but goes straight to the boot-loader screen(I believe this means that my device doesn't have system image file within the device)
2) On boot-loader menu(Start, Restart bootloader, Recovery mode, Power off, Factory, Barcodes, BP Tools, QCOM, Bootlaoder logs), only few are working(Restart bootlodaer, Power off, Barcodes). When I try to perform other than these, it just goes back to main boot-loader screen.
3) I tried to use both Nexus Root Tool kit and manual installation of each image but doesn't work for both of them(From this, I believe that my phone is just BROKEN)
With this happening, conclusion that I can think of is
1) There is no 'Recovery' available in my device(that's why I can't do anything to recover my device)
2) ADB is not functioning.
Only solution that I can think of from this point is that contact Motorola and replace my device(which is what I am currently doing but Motorola has huge problem with their customer service that I am waiting for their answer for about 2 weeks now)
If possible, would there other options that I can repair this device by myself?
I appreciate your attention.
Sincerely.
Adb has no impact on bootloader. What do you mean doesn't work when you fastboot the factory image?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
your problem is the use of toolkits. stay away from them, unless you know what you are doing!
your phone doesnt have any rom on it. you can.. 1. flash the factory img via fastboot, like you are supposed to do(not via a toolkit), or 2. unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery then while in the custom recovery adb push a rom, gapps, and supersu and flash them that way. what you did does not give you the right for a trade in.
The two previous posters are correct. You just need to fastboot flash the factory rom and factory recovery. It is fairly simple, if you take the time to read how to do it. There are posts all over XDA for beginners on how to do this. And I cannot stress how correct @simms22 is. Toolkits may seem to make things easy, but when there is a problem, you need to know how to manually fix it. I just personally stay away from toolkits. And I was in your shoes. I didn't know jack about flashing roms and such. Just reading XDA got me to where I am. (and i am still learning!)
Like the others have pointed out, you are fine. You have access to your bootloader screen, this is a Nexus. Take a deep breath. Take some time and read this site about flashing a factory image. Please do it the best way - manually with fastboot commands. If you get stuck come back here and someone will help. It really is easy. Please repeat after me "I will avoid all toolkits from now one".
Start with this and read lots.

Flashing the factory image should still work from boot loader with fast boot.
Follow the second link for manual flashing after downloading the zip from the first link.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
If you run into the missing system.img problem here is the link to fix it:

This way you can start from the beginning.
Problem with flashing factory image manually.
First, thanks everyone for helping me by providing useful information but there is a problem when I flash factory image manually.
Whenever I try to flash image(for example, 'boot.img', or other images, I always get the same error 'FAILED <remote failure>' and not installed on my device. From here, I have no idea what to do.

look for the command to erase the recovery partition. youll have to google it as i dont know(or remember) it. i dont even own a computer :angel:
then youll have to reflash the recovery.

i have no idea, but this is a good thread to read and post questions about fastboot in http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/noob-read-adb-fastboot-how-help-t3006500
RIP. What did you do to your N6?
OP how did you install your fastboot. I would assume you did it from within a toolkit. That is probably your problem. If that is the case, please do this. Go here and install the .exe: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#Other
It's big I know it but just do it please.
Make sure everything (SDK) gets installed in a folder path like c:\android or something you will easily remember. This is very important because it is within this folder you will place the extracted factory image files (.img). Place all full unzipped .img files in this folder.
Please follow method #2 in this excellent guide:

One day it just shut down by itself and since then it's like this. I just contact Motorola and they are going to ship me new device with different color(idk y they are still having problem with their stocking their devices in because what I had was Cloud White 32Gb but only model that were present when I contact them was Midnight blue with 32Gb, other options are all out of stock. really wished they had a white color...)
This phone is a damn Nexus, it can't die. It's user error.

Bootloop after flashing kernel

To start, I have no knowledge on rooting other than simply using ODIN on one of my older Samsung devices.
I had got a Moto E5 Play the other day and decided to root it today. It was difficult finding a tutorial, but I found this one (https://www.rootingtutorials.com/android-rooting/root-moto-e5-play/)
I downloaded the Minimal ADB and Fastboot tool, and flashed the custom ROM that the post recommended me to do. Then downloaded Magisk and I couldn't install it directly as noted in the guide and after some research found out I had to flash it manually, but I only had the stock recovery for some reason. Found another tutorial from this website (https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e5/development/recovery-twrp-moto-e-5-play-james-t3796323)
I flashed the no-verity kernel and now my phone is in a boot loop. I freaked out and wiped the data and factory reset it. Now when I turn on my phone it says "bad key" in the top left corner and then it goes to the screen before the boot animations and stays there (motorola logo and powered by android at the bottom)
I am an idiot and shouldn't have done this. Is there anything I can do to fix it?

I can't do this because I hard reset the phone and USB debugging is no longer on. "adb devices" recalls back nothing and inputting something like "adb reboot recovery" comes back with "no devices/emulators found".

Did you boot the phone into fastboot mode? You don't need debugging on for fastboot.
The ,"bad key" is normal.
Looks like the wrong firmware or your bootloader is still locked

you need to download 'lenovo moto smart assistant. when you opened the application you need to go to the rescue page. then click on moto phone and select your model. once the download is completed you need to click on rescue and the rescue will begin. after the rescue is completed you can boot your phone like it usually does.

FRP locked and wiped data HELP!

Hi, I'm about hours to jump from my window.
I wanted to flash EMUI 9 official C432 firmware, but I did it with HuRU so the compilation number was bad. I tried again with the official EMUI 9 beta update "The TOOL", but at some point TWRP lost conection with my PC, so as a dumb guy, I reseted the Developer Options, and the "Unlock OEM" option was greyed out and couldn't enable it.
So I rebooted to TWRP and made a Factory wipe, but I kept having problems with my pc detecting my phone. (I tried changing usb cable and port, reinstalling drivers, erasing all USB devices, etc). So I dont know why I did a Wipe Data partition, but it took so long that I turned off my phone.
So now, here is my problem/s:
>Bootloader unlocked/FRP Locked
>Constant Bootloop, nor OS or recovery works
>As I wiped Data partition, OS and TWRP or any recovery is not available (maybe?)
>As I have FRP Locked, I can't install any recovery nor .img (when I try to flash anything it says: "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)"
>Also I installed Magisk, so when I run command to LOCK bootloader, it says that there is root: "FAILED (remote: root type is risk)"

Only thing is to change motherboard..
You should go to huawei service.
If i were you i would try to find a way to downgrade to oreo using usb-otg method before going to hw service.
Many people report "activate oem unlock" being greyed out. I've noticed that too when i was on 9.0.163 and wiped my phone (it was active before factory reset) . It looks like this setting is simply inactive in pie. Downgrade to oreo is the only solution.
it is impossible to install anything - any firmware..
1. Have you ever tried installation with sd card (usb otg)?
2. Another thing is trying to contact funky huawei. People with similar problems got their devices fixed without having to switch mainboard.

No, I havn't. Do I need to use a flash drive and connect it with an otg cable?
Yes I could contact FH but I don't have access even to recovery nor erecovery.
Also, If I choose to fix it with Huawei Service I can't because in my country there is not service for P20 PRO. So i'm dead.

2) it's worth to ask anyway.

So I'll buy and OTG-USB cable so I can use this.
I recently requested for an FRP Unlock Code with this program: Huawe FRP Tool, and used it, but now phone keeps rebooting trying to get into recovery and doesn't even get into fastboot mode. I think this is the end.

Trying to do everything fast I f*ked up. Anyway, I think I learned the lesson not to go that far and settle a little bit. Anyway, don't use FRP Unlock tool, at least if you are bricked.
I think the last solution is to switch mainboard, but anyway I can't get it in my country, so Idk
i also have this problem, have send it to service centre here in The Netherlands.
They could repair it, with replacing the motherboard for 450 euro.
I let them send it back unrepaired.

Hello.
Registered to report a successful repair after a manual firmware upgrade to EMUI 9.
After the update, I made a reset and got a brick.
Bootloader and FRP after updating blocked. He reset the phone, got a brick.
In funkyhuawei [x] club, he paid $ 18.00 USD to restore the brick using the eRecovery method. This method did not work. I made a request for a refund, they did NOT return the money. I do not recommend to contact this organization.
The problem was solved by the official corporate service center of Huawei in Moscow. They restored the firmware in my device. Service cost $ 12USD.
took 1 hour of time.
There is no need to change the motherboard.
Thanks to all.

Can't properly re lock bootloader

Hello guys.
So, I recently bought a new phone and thought "let's try rooting my old one" and tried it on my G7+. I ended up not liking out it turned out (Netflix DRM, Vanced didn't work properly, etc).
So I reflashed the stock ROM and put the comand fastboot oem lock.
The thing is, after I boot the device again, all the messages still appear, like Your device has loaded a different operating system" and below that "ID: " (blank) and I also get "Verity mode is set to disable".
The thing is, every tutorial I come across to relock the bootloader(regular G7, G7 Power, G6, etc), says that when you enter the command "fastboot oem lock" two times, the message that you should only flash signed images, does not appear. I instantly get the state flashing_locked, and I can't continue flashing the stock firmware like every other tutorial shows.
In short, once you enter the command "fastboot oem lock", it's locked for good, and you can't do anything unless you unlock it again, starting the whole process again.
The problem is, even with the bootloader locked again, my device still shows as "insecure", Netflix is nowhere to be found on the app store, and the state of my device is not certified.
I wouldn't have unlocked If I knew it was going to be this difficult to get it back. Selling it now would be next to impossible.
Here are some examples of the errors I'm getting:

Does anyone know how to fix this?
Did you ever get this sorted ? I have the same problem on my G7 Plus. I unlocked, then loaded Lineagos, but then decided to go back to stock, I used LMSA to rescue the phone, but still got the warning and boot time "Your phone has loaded a different OS" and I can't use GPay. I tried the fastboot OEM lock (worked) and fastboot flashing lock, but I still get the warning and I can't use GPay.
I think in my case the LMSA rescue didn't work because I was originally on Android 9 and the rescue took me straing to Android 10

You can try downloading each versions from your region (RETUS, RETEU, etc) and retry the relock process until you find the correction version.
