Hi guys, first of all thanks to be there always, I was on insertcoin 6.0.4, then I just thought to grab ota, so I flash stock backup zip and stock recovery , grab ota installed it, now I can't reroot it, now I am s off with lock bootloader, please help, I tried to push custom recovery in fastboot but nothing happened, it just keep saying waiting for device.
First of all wrong thread, this should be in QnA. Secondly, make sure you connect your phone straight to the USB port on your computer (do not use external USB hub) if your phone is connected to the computer, in fastboot you should see fastboot USB. And make sure your phone is in fastboot mode in the boot loader.

Sorry to post at wrong place, I will try and get back to you, many thanks.
Right now I don't have access to my pc, so I will try it later, but is it possible to reroot, what is probability.
Unlock your bootloader first
There should be a adb command to unlock bootloader since your s off
So you should have debugging enable in developer option, but there is no developer option in my setting menu, though it says it is test device, is it fine if there is no developer option or it is not there natively in 4.3, could that be the reason.
Settings > About > Software information > More > Tap on build number about 10 times.
It should say something like"you are now a developer". Now go back out and developer options should be above the About options. Usb debugging is in there.

I've tried but can't get twrp to flash, getting error file size to big
I updated my phone to Nexus to 5.1 last night and it got stuck in the boot animation but I figured it would be done when I woke up. Much to my dismay that was not the case so I tried to factory reset and now I get this message that says "No OS found." Tried to plug it up to the computer but it won't connect. I think it may have something to do with the OEM Lock but I cant fix that without the phone turning on. Please help!
How exactly did you upgrade your phone?

From bootloader, enter the following fastboot commands:
fastboot format cache
fastboot format userdata
This should allow you to get back into TWRP and flash a ROM.

This may sound silly but I'm not 100% sure. A system notification had been on my screen for over two weeks saying that I had a system update to 5.1 and I finally decided to download and install said update and then it sent me to recovery mode. I don't know why I did but I hit fix permissions.. Just fiddling trying to figure everything out and this is where we are.

I can get into recovery mode but there isn't a ROM that I can find.. It's gone. And like I said it won't connect to the computer via USB port. (Tried several ports,as well as, different cords) Can't enable OEM lock

move a rom via a computer to your phone. either connect the recovery to your computer and move it, or connect to a computer and adb push it to your phone.
Sorry, I guess I misread your post. I thought you said can't get to recovery. From TWRP you should be able to enable MTP transfer. Then your PC should see it and you can transfer files as @simms22 suggested.

From TWRP, perhaps you wiped the System partition? Heh, I did that just last night... woops... "round 2"!
As a side note, if you're trying to use adb/fastboot from Windows... I had nothing but problems myself, even with the proper drivers. At worst, I had to open the Device Manager, find the phone, and force-install ("update") the driver to Android->Composite USB Device before it would be recognized. Absurd, but pains of working from Windows. (Conversely, I've had pain-free experiences from OSX and Ubuntu.)

you dont need adb to move anything to your phone when using twrp. just connect to twrp using the mtp option.
Alright I am looking for some help here. I was attempting to unroot to update my Nexus 6 to Android M. Not sure how this happened but here it goes. I can boot the phone into recovery TWRP and into boot loader but the OEM is locked....In recovery I have no backups or ROMs o flash and my mac is not connecting with the Nexus 6. It seems like there is no ROM on the phone at all and I cant use Terminal commands I keep getting Failures. I have run the 1 click root and unroots for mac and still nothing. I also have no access to Developer options since I cant load into a ROM...So I cant select allow OEM unlock... Please let me know if there is anything I can do to fix this. Thanks for your help everyone!
Try to uninstall all drivers then re install to see if mac recognizes your phone then sideload a rom to recovery or adb
Had this before. I believe when connecting to your computer, you have to delete every nexus 6 previous connections so it would be as if your phone never connected to your computer before. Then after you do that, it should install drivers and recognize your phone. I'm not sure if I remember correctly but I believe its from your toolbar on your computer where it normally pops up "eject USB " warnings. Sorry if I couldn't help
Delete all drivers relating to Android. Download and install the Android SDK Tools from Google. Update the SDK and install the Google USB driver. Boot into TWRP, connect the N6, then use adb push rom.zip /sdcard.
I think that should work.
or fastboot wipe user data and cache.

I have been working on this since last night 7pm... I tried adb push and it just sits there and says starting adb sideload for about 10 min then vibrates with a cancellation. I tried removing Android File Transfer and reinstalling it and I still get the can not find device error. Im thinking this might be a loosing battle.

I did both of these to get past the TWRP boot loop. I can get into TWRP but its empty like everything has been wiped I have no backups or ROMs to flash to. Since the OEM is locked and I cant launch into a ROM to select allow OEM unlock it seems like im going to inevitably lose this battle. Last resort I have a friend coming over with Windows (hoping) WUGfresh can solve the issues....

did you have any roms on your phone before all this? if you did, did you try to search if they are in a different location in your storage now?
Do you have access a a Windows machine? NRT has an option to reflash a bricked phone. Never bricked mine but that tool has been awesome otherwise.

All due respect to the developer, but all WUg's NRT does is automate the downloading and the commands you use to flash manually. It doesn't do anything "special"

True, but have a Mac, and it is rare that being in recovery and connected to the Mac, do not recognize ....

Thanks for all the responses guys! We spend another 4 hours on this Sunday and finally got it! We ended up using this forum step by step. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/info-nexus-6-nexus-9-enable-oem-unlock-t3113539
While my friend was installing all of the ADB drivers on his PC I attempted the steps on my mac. It made it through the first to lines of code but when rebooting into Boot loader it came back with a fail notice to unlock the OEM.
When he got all drivers installed we used the same lines of code (modifying C: for the location he had the ADB drivers) and it accepted all codes. Seeing that screen change into the OEM unlock select yes screen was a GREAT moment lol. After that we used NRT to flash Marshmallow...
All in all it was fun trying to figure this out! Not so much fun thinking I had to drop another $300 to get a new phone! Again thanks everyone for the help!

So, I really messed up. Instead of doing a factory reset, I wiped everything. I have no backup. The only thing I can do is load up twrp and wish I had a ROM to try to flash. My computer won't recognize I have my phone connected.
You can either load a rom on usb otg drive or fix your computer issue (most likely driver related, but also could be a bad port or cable).

What do you mean when you say your computer won't recognize it? Does it do absolutely nothing when you plug it in, or does it show up as an "unrecognized device" or something like that?
If it shows up as unrecognized, it might be as easy as needing the right driver. Download this and install it to get that: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481.
TWRP supports MTP, so you should be able to just boot into TWRP, plug your phone into your PC, copy and paste whatever ROM you want to it, and flash it.
If you can't get that to work for whatever reason, you can flash back to stock by following section 0 of my guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/general/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-install-t3292684
No, it will not re-lock your bootloader.
For some reason TWRP wouldn't show up as a mtp device nor could I sideload a rom file so I just restored to stock and will start over. Thanks for the suggestions!

Skip steps 1-3. Those only matter if your bootloader is locked. Since you have TWRP, I'm assuming that it isn't.
Hey everybody
My friend gave me his Mi 9t Pro to repair it as he bricked it accidentally and he knew I had experience with changing ROMs and recoveries.
From what I know, what he did is tried to change dpi and then phone jumped into bootloop.
Let me just state that:
- bootloader is locked
- there is no custom recovery
- I have no authorization for ADB
I am stuck and would be really thankful for any ideas. Wiping data is not an option at the moment as we want to recover data from the phone.
Dropping battery to 0% and then charging didn't work.
Adb is only possible at the very short moment phone gets into boot animation, but as I have no authorization I can't pull files from it.
For whatever I tried ADB sideload when connected with Mi Assistant in recovery didn't help me neither.
If you have any ideas please share them with me, I'll appreciate that a lot

I can't see any way you're going to keep the data. Recovering the phone is going to wipe everything. Without an unlocked bootloader I can't see any way your going to be able to access the data first before restoring the phone.
As far as restoring the phone, if you can access the official recovery, then you should, hopefully, be able to flash an official recovery ROM from there, or so I believe, I've never actually tried it.
If that fails, then you will need to EDL flash the phone.
This involves taking off the back to put the phone in EDL mode, then paying someone, who has an authorised account, to remotely flash the phone for you.

Yeah, that's kinda hard situation :/
I can't really flash recovery ROM, cause official recovery has no option for that and adb sideload didn't want to install 'update.zip'. just rebooted the phone and that's all.
I've seen that it's actually possible to put device into EDL without having to disassemble the phone, but fastboot command just reboots the phone.
Thanks for answering either way

Are you talking phones in general, or this phone specifically. For this phone the only way is to take the back off and do the 'Test point' method. I've never heard of anyone successfully entering EDL mode using any other method.

ADB sideload needs the phone to be put into ADB sideload mode first, so to speak. This is why you have the ADB sideload option in TWRP. You don't have this option in the standard recovery.

Also make sure you're using a good USB cable and also try a different USB port.
Also try using your friends PC. I assume they have previously connected the phone to the PC successfully before, so they should have the correct drivers already installed.

In this case your only option now is to EDL flash. Sorry. Search for guides on how to do this, within these forums. XDA admins have been removing contact details of anyone with an authorised account, who will remotely flash for you. These people charge for doing this, so it's against XDA policy to give details of people who perform paid for services. You will find recent posts from people who've got details of these people who can EDL flash, that will kindly allow you too PM them for details of such persons.

Have you tried looking at the .bat files miflash executes from the fastboot images. You can flash system etc.. without dating perhaps this will reset the dpi
