All Content Wiped - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ive been using a custom rom for some time all working fine, today I thought Id try another so I booted to recovery, full wiped and flashed another rom & gapps package.
It seemed to install and TWRP promted to reboot system which I did.
Now the problem begins, it only booted to the black google screen. I hard reset to get into recovery and everything had gone including internal storage.
I was able to push my rom and gapps zips to data but when I try to install TWRP throws up errors about unable to mount storage data etc...
I tried flashing latest TWRP and erasing cache, but still same problem.
So I have no idea how to turn this paperweight back into a phone!

Try
fastboot format cache
fastboot format userdata

Thank you very much rootSU
I was trying to find the adb help guide you posted before, thought I had it bookmarked but I didn't and now I remember the name rootSU.
You helped me out once before when I had problems with my DHD.
Thanks again, very much appreciated.

Accidentally formatted /sdcard, now phone won't boot.

I accidentally formatted /sdcard instead of /system because I derped while trying to flash Youngunn's AOKP. Now I'm stuck because my phone won't boot any ROM. I re-flashed CWM (because that was erased with /sdcard) and it won't boot with AOKP or CM10.1. My phone is in the process of restoring Echo's PA, which I made a backup of. Anytime it attempted to mount /data it gives an error. All help is appreciated!
Hey bud.
So formatting /sdcard will not delete your recovery. I'm not sure what is going wrong with your phone but a clean install of cwm with fastboot and then installing aokp again will make it all better.

It wouldn't boot into recovery (even selecting it from the bootloader or whatever screen), it would just stick at the Motorola bootlogo. Also tried your AOKP and restoring the PA backup, it kept giving me an error (just "Error mounting /data!") whenever it tried to mount/access /data and would stick at the ROM's bootlogo.
And just a note, when I select "Wipe dalvik cache" it just comes back to the same screen, doesn't wipe it or send me to the "no, no, no, no, yes, no" screen.
AOKP has been attempting to boot for 15 minutes now.
I'm assuming the /data mount is the issue here. Not sure what happened or how to fix it or even how to troubleshoot. All I did was accidentally wipe /sdcard, flash AOKP, stuck on bootlogo so I rebooted to recovery, which didn't work, so I fastbooted CWM back on, and the /data mount issue began.

I'd say try the Myth tools and flash a stock image, I've erased my SDcard tons of times, I just did it last night, I wiped int and ext without issue through CWM,
I say use myth because it seems to work for everyone, it doesn't for me, I have to use RSD So I'd say pick your poison, both get you back to stock
Dude oh my god I had this same issue on a different device, I forgot what the fix was. If I come up with something I'll let you know.

I think he has to get the motorola factory programming cable to fix it, since it acts like a os for you to load a new os to your phone. Sorry I don't know a link on where to buy.

@Aingaran method is my recommendation as well. I'll just add to flash all the fast boot partitions... Might as well since you're already there

[Q] Bricked Nexus 6 PLEASE HELP!!

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

Yes, it has been done to fix the soft brick I thought we were dealing with here. Only if TWRP is installed though.
Doesn't chainfire 3d modify system? I though it did. May need to flash a rom zip after a factory reset.

honestly, i dont remember. its been about 3-4 years since last thinking of that app. if it does, a rom flash would be needed.

Can't Boot Into System, Only TWRP

Here's the whole story:
I was on an unofficial build of RR CM13, encrypted, using TWRP 3.0.2-1.
I wiped data, dalvik, cache, and flashed the newest Official RR 7.1.1 and open-gapps.
I boot into the new ROM and start setting stuff up.
I restore some apps' data using Titanium Backup, then reboot.
On reboot I'm greeted with the device setup screen
I reboot, wipe, reflash a bunch of times
A few times:
When I rebooted after using the system my PIN doesn't decrypt the system/data (booting into the system)
When I rebooted after using TWRP my PIN does decrypt (booting into the system)
At some point during this I try wiping everything from TWRP, but it freezes, goes black, and then the notification LED turns white. I hold the power button and boot back to TWRP.
Apparently wiping /data is the problem (everything else wipes just fine if I do them individually)
I boot back into the system, set it up, and do a full factory reset from there (after offloading my stuff from Internal Storage)
Back to TWRP, now no matter what I flash or restore, I don't end up booting into the system, only into TWRP
I've also tried TWRP 3.0.4-0 (which wouldn't decrypt my data), and I've reflash TWRP a few times.
How do I actually boot into my system? It's been 7 hours, and I'm losing my mind.

Boot to your ROM through the power button...
Manually..

Not sure if you've tried this yet, but considering you've already backed your phone up, I'd just recommend to start clean and use the unbricker tool.

Do what he said. You've already wiped your internal storage, so just start from scratch.

Thanks, that worked, but now when I try to boot into recovery I get a black screen.
I was able to use the Toolkit to boot into TWRP and flash my ROM. Any ideas how to fix this?

TWRP has enormous potential and so does ADB try to use them.
First ensure TWRP is working, If it works you're 80℅ safe , then further do some XDA search as per your need. I am sure it will work again.
This is purely my experience since 6 years I am flashing .

Your TWRP is working right!
go to TWRP/ Advanced/ADB Sideload
type "adb sideload /path/to/rom.zip"
Mate, recommend using ADB Sideload on TWRP itself is the only viable option you have. OR if that doesn't work and you still have the PIN issues, you should definitely use the Unbrick Tool and get everything back to Stock, and then reflash everything
Note: Using the unbrick tool will cause it to relock bootloader, so you're gonna have to start over again.
Cheers!

phone not passing twrp splashscreen

I was running Freedom OS CE 2.5 and I dirty flashed official OOS 4.1.0 and got into a bootloop.
I restarted the phone into twrp and it told me that it was read only so I wasn't seeing any zip files. I tried to use repair in the Wipe section by changing file format. I think I chose FAT...I honestly can't remember. But when I swipe to repair and I got stock on updating partition. So I restarted the device into twrp again but this time I'm stock on just the splash screen....won't start.
All I'm getting into is bootloader mode.
Help please
Use fastboot to wipe recovery and flash TWRP again. Alternatively, directly sideload your ROM.

Thank you so much. But what about how I tried changing the format from what it was originally? Should I be worried or that's a minor issue?

You should reformat those partitions that you've changed. Ext4 or f2fs for /data and ext4 for all other partitions. This can be done through either fastboot or TWRP.

3.0.4-1 has proven to be the most stable so far.
I've also been using 3.1.0-1 for a while and haven't noticed any issues.
Avoid 3.1.0.0 though, as there has been many reports of issues with it.

MY PHONE IS RUNNING AGAIN! thanks for your help man.
Btw! Seeing that the positions were somewhat corrupted, I actually had to use stock recovery to sideload the stock ROM then flash TWRP and finally on freedom is 2.6.1
Thanks again, mate. :highfive:

I faced a similar issue with twrp , just try to flash twrp again using fastboot mode , in case it does not work again then try to flash it a few more times , it would surely work , I have already tried it , but before that try to factory reset ur phone using twrp and reboot to twrp and only use the first method if the problem exists after that

Thanks. I got through.

TWRP can't flash anything.

I recently dusted off my Nexus 6 to test a few projects on and wanted to update everything. But no matter what I try within TWRP, every zip/img fails. Any guidance on how to repair the filesystem would be helpful. The attached images is the error. For now it seems shamu has been beached:crying:
Running TWP 3.1.1.0
ROM: LineageOS, not sure which version
Android version: 7.1.1
Bootloader is unlocked
Update to the latest TWRP and see if that helps. You want version 3.2.1-0.
https://dl.twrp.me/shamu/
Thanks, I just tried that. I was able to flash the recovery img through adb, but any attempt to flash a zip through fails with the same errors
format data on twrp you will lose everything so do backup
belive ihave the same problen but when i formated data with twrp the problem is gone so got to twrp - wipe -format data Type yes

Your safest bet would be going for a factory image, and then reflash twrp and then try again to see if everything is allright.
Or try formatting data from TWRP, like person above me mentioned. USB Drive+otg adapter might come in handy to keep stuff you want to flash there
