Hi guys,
I seem to have a problem
So I was running 4.4.2 with Sense 5.5 on my phone. Vodafone (my phone company in Aus) sent out an OTA update for my phone. I'd already rooted my phone and had a custom recovery, so I knew I wasn't able to install it without going back to stock. So I tried following the procedure to go back to stock. Used 'Guru_Reset_M7_2.24.980.2' to do it and it seemed to work pretty well. It was 4.3, so I did an OTA, first one (like a 3mb file) installed fine, then the second one for 4.4.2 Sense 5.5 downloaded and installed, but not it is stuck in a boot loop. So I tried to do a factory reset from the bootloader which sent it back into the bootloop, then as nothing was working, I thought I'd install the custom recovery (TWRP) and install the ROM again and just leave it at that so at least I have a phone. Only problem is I had to unlock the bootloader again which wiped everything on the internal storage. And I'm stuck.
There's nothing in the internal memory. It's stuck in a bootloop after an OTA. I have TWRP installed as my recovery. I can access both recovery and bootloader.
Any idea's?
Also, for some reason, I can't download or access anything from this website; http://ww35.bugsylawson.com/ which I've seen used in multiple places to try and unbrick your phone
Thanks all!

Will this enable me to go fully back to stock and perform OTA updates, or is this just a way to get me out of a rut?
Thanks for the help by the way, currently in the process of doing the sideload.

Did you fail to mention that you tried entering the recovery, because you cannot enter recovery? I almost never use fastboot for anything but entering recovery once I've installed twrp.
Why were you trying to install a recovery if you have twrp installed already?
I'm honestly baffled on the amount of users having issues with their device.

Hello everyone,
so here is my configuration:
-latest TWRP (3.0.2) with F2S support
-bootloader unlocked
-the N6 is rooted
-ROM: AICP MM
2 days ago I tried to reboot to recovery to flash a more recent version of my AICP ROM. I just had the time to see the TWRP boot logo and then the phone rebooted to load the system. I can't access anymore to my recovery. I tried to rename the twrp directory on the internal SD but it does not change anything.
I reflashed TWRP with ADB and fastboot, but it didn't resolve the problem.
The only change I made recently was to flash a new radio to try to improve my connectivity.
I flashed 5.34 with the new bootloader in fastboot. Then I tried 5.32 without changing the bootloader and finally the 5.36 with the latest bootloader. So I don't know when the problem occured but now my phone even reboots randomly !
So if anyone has a solution you're welcome !
What happens when you connect the N6 to the PC and issue the fastboot boot recovery command?
Check your volume controls. They may be stuck.
Had this Problem on an other device . No recovery flash with fastboot . Dont no how , but Trwp manager APP from playstore did it .
you have to flash twrp right.. if you use a toolkit or flash the recovery with fastboot boot(instead of fastboot flash) then it will only boot into twrp 1 time, then you will need to flash it again if you want to use it again.

If I'm using "adb reboot recovery", the N6 is rebooting and load the recovery but I only see the TWRP boot logo. Then it's rebooting from the Google logo...
I've flashed the recovery with "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", but I've also tried with flashify and still the same problem !
In fact I think that's a problem which is related to the upgrade of the bootloader or the radio. I'm with the 71.21 bootloader which came with the latest radio (from the Android N images). Even with the previous bootloader the problem occured. So until which bootloader can I downgrade without bricking my phone ?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions !

yea, you can downgrade, but why? and why are you doing adb reboot recovery? you know that you can use a terminal emulator app on your phone and then reboot recovery using it? every custom rom should also have a reboot recovery option when pressing the power button as well.

I want to try to downgrade the bootloader because this problem occured just after changing it. I've not modified anything else.
I've tried with a terminal emulator, same symptoms.
If I'm using the reboot menu of AICP it's exactly the same behaviour. And that's the usual function I'm using to reboot to recovery. In fact all the commands are working, the N6 is rebooting to recovery but I just see the TWRP logo, then it reboots the phone to the google logo, then it starts the system...
Even if I'm launching recovery from the bootloader, I'm getting the same result.

sounds like you need to clear the recovery partition, then flash twrp again.

honestly, i dont remember how.
So here are my last attempts:
-I've tried to clean the cache with "fastboot erase cache", I thought it could be corrupted. BIG MISTAKE ! This time the phone is bootlooping when lauching the ROM...
And of course, I'm making some backups but they are on the "internal sd"... So I can't access my files anymore !
-I've also tried "fastboot erase recovery" and reflashed recovery. No improvement.
-I've downgraded the bootloader from 71.21 to 71.18. Nothing changed.
-I was asking myself if last time I didn't enter a wrong command in typing "fastboot flash boot bootloader.img" instead of "fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img". So even if I've added benzocore on my AICP ROM, I decided to flash the boot.img from AICP zipfile on the boot partition (+ erase boot). So this time no more bootlooping of the ROM, because I'm stuck on the google logo :crying:...
I've never encounter such a desperate situation ! I don't even understand why I can't boot in recovery...
I could reflash a factory image on my phone, but this would erase all my datas !
Do you think I could reflash a factory image (except the data partition), just to be able to get a valid recovery, and access my files from the computer ? Then I could erase data partition, and reflash a new ROM ?
I don't want to precipitate the next actions because I don't have any joker... and with this stupid idea of not putting any µSD slot in most phones nowadays we're captive of the situation when the phone is bricked ! We can't recover data easily, even with adb pull (which does not work in my case of course).
So please share your ideas, they'll be welcome ! I've read A LOT of posts on XDA and others, but no solution until now....
TIBU to back up your data and then move the data on to PC. Use NRT WUG Fresh tool to flash MOB30M (stock, unroot) and then root/recovery and then start over. If you don't want encrypt then "format data" once in TWRP and then flash custom kernel like HellsCore to not force encrypt.

Don't use FlashAll, it's usually broken, anyway. But rather unpack the zip, flash boot and system. And either flash cache or erase it. It does the same.

TIBU for Titanium Backup ? How do you want I use this app since I don't have access to android, only to the bootloader ? You want me to install MOB30M without wiping the datas from my current rom, export the result and then wipe everything to make a clean install ?

If you can't backup your data via an app, then you're stuck to flash back to stock losing your info. You can move stuff from your "internal sd" and "data" partitions to your laptop by using fastboot command but I don't remember the exact command

Just looked it up. You can't backup your data via fastboot but you can using "adb" command. The problem is getting "adb" to work requires "USB Debugging" to be on and android working Thus, you're likely stuck losing your data.

Yeah unfortunately we can do it with adb (like this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8650407/how-to-copy-selected-files-from-android-with-adb-pull) but not with fastboot. Tomorrow I'll try to flash each *.img from MOB30M separately and see if I can recover a working recovery to access to my datas ! Thanks for your answer btw.
Hello everyone !
So here are the last news...
I've tried an older TWRP like 2.8.x.x same problem.
I've flashed all the *.img from MOB30M except data, but my recovery was still not accessible !!!
So I was resigned to format my data and flash the *.img on it.
This time it worked, my N6 was coming back to life !!! Then I had to root it, flash the recovery, remove encryption and format data with F2FS !
I still don't understand how a corrupted (?) data partition could block the running of recovery, that's strange !
So now I have to restore the data from a TWRP image dated 04-16 I had on my NAS...I can tell you that in the future I won't let my recent backups only on internal storage !
Will you believe me if I tell you that the same problem is occuring again :crying: ?
Several days ago, it started when the impossibility to enter the recovery but this time it does not reboot in bootloader, just stuck... Now I got random reboots and stange behaviour from applications !
I NEVER had a serious problem like that with my N6 before. So I don't understand how can I get data corruption like this ? Last time I was using Benzo kernel, now DeYuS kernel but with no exceptional settings, no overclocking.
I've just disabled "forceencrypt" and convert data to F2FS (no problem before).
So does anyone have a clue about this problem ?
Hey everyone I just recently got a Moto X Pure with TWRP recovery already installed and the bootloader unlocked, unrooted. The phone was stuck on Marshmallow so I went to update and it would take me to TWRP recovery every time and when I reboot back into the system, I'm still stuck on Marshmallow. So I downloaded an app that would make me download OTA updates while still having TWRP recovery but it needed root access, which I didn't have. I tried all of the one-click root apps but non worked then I stumbled across an easy root method: ( oops it said I can't post links, but basically I downloaded a supersu zip and flashed it) which I followed very precisely and I'm pretty sure I did nothing wrong. But when I flashed the ZIP using TWRP and booted back into system it was stuck on the Motorola logo which I'm assuming is bootloop. I was going to download a stock recovery using fastboot but I discovered that it would relock the bootloader, which would render the device useless to me so I can't. I also tried wiping the Dalvrik Cache but it always failed. I'm new to all of this so please guys I'm desperate for help. Thanks in advance
