Hi All
Got into a bit of a situation when I re-locked my bootloader and got stuck in a loop, unable to unlock it because of the developer settings option. I had nothing but the TWRP screen bootlooping.
Anyway, sorted it out for those who want to know how. In the bootloader run the commands "fastboot format cache" and "fastboot format userdata"
Then choose to boot into recovery, it'll work and you'll be in TWRP. From there you can flash a ROM, enable the setting in developer options & unlock the bootloader!

Good news to anyone having alternative recovery. Unfortunately will not work with stock recovery
Great thanks
Sorry for my poor english (I'm french). Great thanks for your solution. It works fine for me... I was afraid during a few hours to be forced to throw away my Nexus 6....
Thank you for that information. I was in the same position and your instructions helped me get my device working again. That Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Developer Options flag is a real game changer for those of us who are used to flashing our devices and one must be very careful.

Shouldn't you be able to adb side load a stock ROM?

How can you use fastboot format cache and fastboot format userdata when the bootloader is locked? I'm on an N6, but I've had 0 luck with that.

You just can. It allows it.
Just went through the same thing and can confirm that fastboot format cache and fastboot format userdata got me back into recovery.
However, Recovery was showing 0MB storage space so I couldn't push anything to the SDcard for install. @rootSU recommended that I go into wipe and perform a full format (the one that requires you to type "yes"). I did this and my storage was back to normal and I was able to push a ROM to the SD card and flash it.
Problem solved!

You can try >
fastboot format cache
fastboot format userdata
Note that if this works, it will wipe your SDcard.
If it doesn't work, you have no other options. Return it for repair or replacement.

Hello guys, I really messed up my phone.
I was trying to relock, and unroot my phone but it didnt go as planned.
Long story short, I cannot flash ANYTHING through CWM or TWRP (latest versions) and none of my files shows up in either of these recoveries. When i push a file through adb i get an error code on both. I believe that CWM said it cannot mount E:/SD Card.
I also have nothing to bootup to (bootloop)
I really need my phone and any help would be greatly appreciated!

Just calm down buddy... This is the second thread you've made so far. Now I'm going to help you and I dont want any of your money. I just want you to agree on one term and that is to not make another thread about this.
That sucks balls MyMonkeyBalls..
Yeah, has happened to me too, I had to send in to get fixed, been 3 weeks so far.
Have a read over the forums for mine and others same issue, there are tips on how to fix but this is becoming very common at the moment, I can not offer any suggestions because everything i did did not work
Good luck

what build of CM10.2 was it (example: cm-10.2-20130809-UNOFFICIAL-m7ul.zip)?
Kernel?
Firmware? (or Hboot#)
Do you have nandroid?
have you tried to go to stock?
S-OFF?
locked/relocked/unlocked?
logcats? (twrp or cwm)
ATT, TMO, Sprint, GPE, etc?
Any other info?

Nothing is showing up in Twrp or CWM its like i have nothing installed on my device. I have a constant bootloop with the cm10.2 boot animation.

Okay well that rules out the simple.
Now lets see if i understand the situation correctly. If you try to boot into system all you get is a CM bootloop and custom recovery's show an empty sdcard? You say adb commands dont work but have you tried fastboot commands in fastboot mode yet?
Try:
fastboot devices
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-recovery
Dude - he's done a factory reset from the bootloader which has wiped his virtual sd card. You basically need to format it back into a fat32 partition so the adb side load will work.

So what do I have to do sorry
I've done this before a long time ago now myself and was able to fix it because I could still boot into my rom and windows would offer to format it for me.
There used to be a guide in the One XL forum with a step by step even a youtube how to fix it - just trying to find it now.

It's for a One XL but the principle is the same as they both use Virtual SD Cards.
Make sure you're in the bootloader go into fastboot
Download the stock recovery from this link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v7byetxqc2ogzqq/recovery144.img
Make sure the downloaded image is in the same folder as your fastboot.
fastboot flash recovery recovery144.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Go into bootloader and then choose Factory Reset - let that finish running
Go into fastboot
fastboot flash recovery <custom recovery>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you can go into recovery and try sideloading a rom and then flashing it.

Hey dude, don't forget to put [Resolved] in the thread title.
Hello all,
To make a long story short: my phone is stuck his bootloader after it wiped my internal storage (i dont know what exactly happened but it happened).
The last 5 hours straight i tried to fix it throught adb sideload but ended up that i only have acces to my bootloader now.. it doesnt enter the recovery annymore, i tried to flash other recoverys (twrp and cwm) but its stuck on bootloader now.
Im despirate now, tried to solve it myself without disturbing others with it but im kinda lost now. My phone is s-on and i am hoping that somebody can help this despirate man out!
EDIT: I just noticed that my bootloader says that my phone is relocked now?
EDIT2: This is the last thing i tried (see attachment), i dont think it worked
Your phone is relocked?
Ok, you've to unlock this, flash a recovery do an erase cache and after sideload/push a rom into your sd and flash this...

I broke the screen on my Verizon Nexus 6 and our internet went out today, but I wanted to flash it to stock before going to Verizon and seeing if they'll replace it. So I had a stock rom on my phone, flashed that, then locked the bootloader. I wasn't thinking about the recovery... So now, I can't unlock the bootloader because when I try to boot up the device, the TWRP screen comes up, but it just boot loops back to that screen. All I can boot into is the bootloader but without adb access, I don't know what to do.... Anybody have any ideas?

From bootloader use the fastboot commands:
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache
This will allow you back into TWRP and you can restore a backup or flash a ROM. Then you can start over.

Trying to sell my Nexus 6 I believe I bricked it. After rooting the device I used Chainfire 3d program and it made me stuck on google sign. I tried literally everything. I can boot into teamwin TWR recovery. I tried factory resetting wiping cache and delvic. Problem is my bootloader is coming up locked. Tried using fastboot many times to flash everything back keep getting remote failure. Need help, is it possible im just screwed at this point. Ive used about everything it is just stuck saying Google. PLEASE HELP!!!!
chainfires 3d program hasnt worked on a nexus in years. and you do need to boot back up to enable unlocking the bootloader in the developer options. have you tried wiping data in twrp recovery?

Relax, deep breath. You need to use fastboot from bootloader. Issue these commands:
fastboot format cache
fastboot format userdata
That should get you into TWRP and from there you can transfer a ROM to internal, flash it and go from there.

well, he wrote that he can boot into twrp recovery already. wiping data should fix his use of chainfires app. but flashing a new rom would do the same

Is this confirmed to work? I tried flashing the TWRP for the Blu Pure XL and the phone boot looped. I was able to unlock the bootloader ADB but after flashing TWRP the phone bootlooped.

flash the original recovery (from fastboot mode).
loading recovery and system loading - are two different things...
p.s. recovery was tested.

give me the boot.img and recovery.img files from your firmware. and the file /proc/emmc from the system
and I'll make TWRP for you...
It works. Thank you jemmini!
Edit: It appears I spoke too soon. Recovery works, but now the phone is in a constant boot loop.
2nd update: By some miracle, I got the phone to stop looping and just stay on recovery by randomly pressing buttons.
During the loop, I get this message.
after unlocking the bootloader you need for the first time to boot the system with the original recovery. and only after that to flash the TWRP...
jemmini, do you have a backup of the stock rom? If so, can you upload it? Thank you.

Can you provide step by step instructions?
I imagine it would be something like this.
1. Developer Options > Enable OEM Unlock
2. Enable USB Debugging
3. Reboot to bootloader
4. fastboot oem unlock
5. fastboot reboot? (boot back into system) << i think this is where people are getting boot loop
6. reboot to bootloader
7. fastboot flash recovery (twrp recovery.img)
8. reboot to recovery
9. profit?

I'm planning on trying out TWRP later today. Before I do that, what files should I grab (as a backup) and from where should I grab them? I'm happy to upload them for others, too.
So I will be able to root the phone with this? After unlocking bootloader and flashing twrp I flash supersu?

@jemmini I've never heard of the command fastboot oem unlock confirm before. Is this a command to run or do you mean we should do a fastboot getvar all and check the bootloader unlock status for a yes? Sorry for the newbie question. I've never needed to do this with a nexus.

The confirmation he means is after you execute the unlock command, on the phone screen asks you to confirm by press volume up. That all.

The same thing happened to me.
After I was able to get into recovery using your steps, I formated ONLY the /data partition and rebooted. The phone then booted up properly after that.
I then downloaded the SuperSU ZIP file and rooted my phone through recovery .
I hope this helps someone.

So I unlocked bootloader and also got the bootloop. I flashed this firmware to fix it, but I found out the radio included is not the same as the US version, so now the sim cards don't work.
The firmware image have a file called "MT6753_Android_scatter.txt" which determine what partition to flash. Base on this guide http://www.mtkroms.com/2015/03/how-to-restore-lost-imei-on-any.html, the "secro" partition being replaced may be what caused the issue, so looked like that's what I have unchecked before flashing.

I just discovered that you can back the secro and many other partition within TWRP. I don't know if that alone will fix the sim problem. WRONG
