[Q] Probably have a brick

K first off Yes I did do my research here looking to see if my problem was solved but just wanted to make sure by posting and explaining my situation. So pretty much, my nexus was having some issues and so I decided to flash the factory image. Everything all stock by the way. So I unlocked the boot loader flash everything manually and come to find that it kept spinning at the dots. It was probably at least 20 mins so I got pretty impatient. Went into stock recovery, wiped data and cache then proceeded to reboot. And here's probably where I screwed up. Got worried again to I went to fastboot, locked the damn boot loader, and wiped again and restarted into the endless swirl of the google dots.
Now, is there anything constructive, rather than bashing me, someone could provide me with? Thanks so much guys. Never thought this would happen with a nexus device.

via fastboot(while in the bootloader), try this..
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache
fastboot reboot

Has this been successful to you? I remember reading that earlier today but seems a bit confusing. Not too sure how it works. Would you be able to explain a little more?

I can try this. About how long should I wait afterwards? That way I don't get impatient again

Sorry I never tried it

that other way, i have no idea. the way i posted, maybe 10-12 minites. well, if it boots.

Alright, I'll try out both. Thanks guys

Alright so nothing has worked so far. Anyone else know what I should do, or am I now forced to send it in for service?

There is nothing else you can do.

Can you unlock again or are you stuck locked.

Its not possible to unlock unless you boot into android and set "enable OEM unlock" but he cannot boot into android.
There is nothing at the moment he can do.

I wasn't sure if OEM unlock would untick itself since he never actually booted the os. I thought that only became unchecked when you boot the os. I do agree with you though. He's most likely SOL. I haven't seen anyone on XDA yet that's had any real success after being stuck in bootloader with locked bootloader.

I think you're right. If its ticked and you boot, I think it unticks it at boot. Whether a loop is enough to do that I don't know.
But another thing is that the default setting is unticked anyway. Until 5.1 at least to me, "allow OEM unlock" seems to be window dressing. I never needed to use this to unlock so I imaging for most people this setting remains untucked

Yeah is normal to be unticked in 5.1. It won't affect anything though. But. If you relock without ticking it first and you can't boot to os then you're screwed. From what I've seen.

Yes absolutely.
But what I meant is I never ticked mine in 5.0 and was still able to unlock. So since we could unlock without ticking it before 5.1, I imagine most people never ticked it before updating.. Then things changed.

Damn, I had a bad feeling about it as soon as it didn't start after 20 mins. So best bet would be to RMA it then and hope they fix it or should I try and go further than that by asking for a replacement since it still is under warranty and to bootloader is "locked"? lol

Sending it in for RMA. Getting a replacement device

Accidentally flashed a file to root that was for KitKat (Im on Lollipop)

So I accidentaly flashed the wrong root file thus making my systemui continuously crash. Any suggestions as to what I can do?

Stock recovery or TWRP?
Are you looking to undo what you did without having to do a complete wipe, or are you open to more drastic solutions? Because you can always run the toolkit to reset to complete stock by flashing the stock images over your current system. But that would of course perform a complete wipe.

I dont really mind a complete wipe. And are you referring to this toolkit? http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...l-windroid-universal-android-toolkit-t3048099
if not could you please tell me which one?
And to clarify, I followed this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fPIYhzWlnw . The file that I flashed to attempt to root is in the description of that.

I actually used this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/development/tool-moto-x-pure-edition-recovery-t2897819 when I was messed around, but I would imagine either would work. When I needed to return to unrooted stock, I believe that toolkit returned me to 4.4.4 unrooted stock, then I just ran the 5.0 OTA once the phone booted up.
The toolkit you referenced is the one I used to unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP, and root my phone. As long as you can get to recovery or fastboot, either toolkit should work to return you to stock. BUT I caution you, I have a pure edition, and these toolkits were made for the pure edition. If you do not have a pure edition, you'll want to read the disclaimers/instructions/other posts to make sure it will work on your phone.

Okay so this escalated quickly.
So here I am being my dumb self , I try to flash TWRP. That goes fine and then I try to wipe my data. After that I reboot it and as its turning on it foes black on the boot animation. and now I cant even get into freaking recovery mode. I dont know what I did but im pretty sure I messed up bad. I need some serious help now and anything is appreciated.

Bootloader as in vol. down + power button right? Thats not working too. I also tried other combinations to no luck. And before it was turning on but now its not even booting to the boot animation. Thanks for the link though, if it does magically boot into the bootloader then i'll know what to do at least.
Edit: Okay so theres the charging animation, so thats a start, I guess. Still no luck on the bootloader tho.

Okay got it into bootloader mode!
Now before I do any other stupid thing can somebody just confirm one thing for me? On Graffix's website, this is the img I should flash through mfastboot right
Lollipop 5.0 22.21.11 FULL IMAGE PACKAGE Zip
Just a confirmation because I dont really trust my judgement. Thanks again everybody

I agree that Toolkits can make you lazy and not learn how to fix things on your own, but when you need a quick fix and don't have time to figure out what is going wrong, it's always nice to just boot your phone into fastboot or recovery and fix things with a few keystrokes on your computer.

I got it to work guys! Thanks for all the help. It was much appreciated.

oem locked NO O.S wug fresh restore fail! NEED A GURU TO TELL ME ITS FIXABLE

My nexus 6 is in a mess.
Ive briefly read everywhere about fixing it so far no luck. Is there any way any fix /solution possible
It started when i Wiped data and formated data thus wiping out the whole os inside twrp when it was working "by mistake".
So i remained oem unlocked . I used wug fresh toolkit to reflash 5.0, I suspected the process had finished but it didnt work the first time it just sat on google splash sreen and idiot me clicked on oem lock right after.
Now i cant oem unlock to run any commands or even the toolkit. I read about a hardbrick fix solution using rsd lite and qhsusb drivers basically lg version of qualcomm flashing. Would this work for my instance? What are my choices? WHAT I Dont understand is if there is no O.S why would it even ask for oem unlock knowing there isnt even a operating system on board since it was wiped after twrp reboot

No, you cannot use that fix, as it is specifically for a hard brick, non bootable device. When you relocked your bootloader, you sealed your fate. Your only option is to RMA at this point. Sorry.

stuck in boot loop android is starting optimizing apps after update

sorry if this has been covered but i cant find anything the same as my situation and im pretty stuck.
I have just bought a nexus 6 and the phone prompted me to update to 5.1 so i have, once it restarted i am now stuck in a boot loop with it saying optimizing apps then restarts and the same again, i have tried booting into recovery and wipe data but just get the same.
I have tried using nexus root toolkit (wugsfresh) however cannot find fastboot connectivity so im stuck there.
The phone is not rooted and i cant seem to get access through adb ( i have not turned usb debugging on as the phone is new)
I really am not too clued up so im sorry if i need things explaining abit more.
Thanks in advance

flash a factory image, your update went no good. if you havent ever done this, i DO NOT RECOMMEND using a toolkit. toolkits are good for people who know what they are doing. if you dont kniw, you will remain clueless, and could make things much worse.

As stated before. Forget OTA. Unlock bootloader and fastboot flash the images manually. Do not take OTA with bootloader locked. If OTA fails have to RMA. No fix.

I had the same issue today and like PRDOG1 said I was talking to him on my forum post. As soon as you get the phone unlock that bootloader, then just do flashes through the bootloader. It is safer, and as long as that bootloader is unlocked you can go ahead and load up any image you want thats factory and you will be fine.

Well it should be fine then coz the carriers in Aussie don't lock bootloaders. I just told him to bring the phone to me n I'll re-flash a stock image for him but I thought u may have found another way as I'm more familiar with Samsung and Windows than I am with Nexus. It seems pretty common this bootloop stuff after OTA with the N6.

I suspect you are confusing carrier SIM lock with bootloader lock.
Carriers do not usually do anything with bootloader lock - they may force a SIM lock to their SIM cards however.
On the Nexus 6 however, unlocking the bootloader is pretty easy (assuming you can boot to the OS and select the option to allow OEM unlock). I'd recommend leaving the bootloader unlocked and flashing twrp asap, in case of any issues later.

Altho in Australia they don't carrier lock bootloaders the software comes locked for security reasons. If he didn"t unlock prior to the OTA update it is bricked and will require RMA.

Nexus 6 bootloop when updating to android 5.1

Hey everyone I'm looking here as my last resort before sending my phone back to Motorola.
Bought a Nexus 6 from motorola uk which was delivered yesterday, switched phone on and all the Google apps on the phone updated, then had a notification OTA to download and install android 5.1 which I did, towards the end of the install process I had an error with the green android and a red exclamation mark.
I powered the device off with the power button and it turned back on and ever since it says "Android is starting" "Optimizing app 1 of 125" once it goes through all the apps it gets to the android boot screen then just goes back to the "Android is starting" "Optimizing app 1 of 125" over and over and over. (Infinite bootloop)
Pointers: The phone is not unlocked or rooted as I'm a noob its just fresh out the box, also I never opened/unlocked the developer options.
I have tried various recovery mode fixes, wiping cache and wiping all data and then rebooting the device with no luck.
Is there anyway I can hook my N6 up to my computer and fix this with a tool kit etc? I'm willing to try but I'd need basic instructions and reassurance it wouldn't muck up my warranty if it didn't work as my only other option is to exchange for a new device.
I'm a noob so I need detailed basic step by step instructions.
Any help, advice etc would be hugely appreciated. Thanks

Just send it back, no point messing about with it if it brand new could down to a fault with the hardware itself.

Iv'e heard this is a common problem with the N6 whilst trying to update the OTA 5.1 I had no other apps on the phone it was fresh, I did nothing wrong, I know someone who has been through 4 devices with the same bloody issues! In the end he had to sideload 6.0 and I'm not confident in being able to do that.

Well best bet is to download wugfresh toolkit 2.10 i think is the latest version, follow the instructions carefully because first you need to unlock the bootloader then flash 6.0.1 which has just come out.
Using Wugfresh is the best way to go if your new to flashing & you can't really go wrong with it.

I`am sure most xperienced users (me included) will not agree with you The best way to unlock, flash and root is still adb/fastboot. Especialy for lesser xperienced users that are lost is something goes wrong while using the toolkit, wich happens frequently btw. Just check the help threads.

Lol it's not rocket science using adb, been doing that way for years but for somebody that never flashed, rooted ect I still think the toolkit best way to go at first because everything is done for you at a click of a button.
Yes things can go tits up when using toolkits, mainly because they don't follow simple instructions.

No, but because toolkits are always behind at least one version with marshmallow. People kept bricking their devices with toolkits when marshmallow came out and they thought they could root it. As 6.0.1 came out they'll do something else wrong.
Toolkits are not help. It's the lazy way if everything is already working and up to date.
Also what can a toolkit do if this phone doesn't even have developer options turned on? If it's in boot loop, as the OP said, then the Enable OEM unlocking was never set, then the only solution is to send it back. Unless there's a toolkit magic we don't know about.

It was said that some of the first Nexus 6s with the original 5.0 came out with a bootloader that didn't check for this switch.
