OK so i was going to flash back to a factory rom from CYANOGEN, but got bricked and it says I need to check the OEM UNLOCK option in developer options. the problem is, no matter what I try when I reboot I ALWAYS end up at the screen pictured below.
Have tried Wugfresh have tried SDK
cant even boot into recovery
please someone tell me there is a way to save this phone...
you might be screwed if you dont have twrp installed. try this..
fastboot format cache
fastboot format userdata
try booting first thing after, if not then try flashing twrp.
Maybe some more information too, like what EXACTLY you were trying to do. How did you end up with a locked bootloader? If the advice given previously didn't work, you are most likely bricked.

It's f...ing unbelievable that people still lock their bootloader while having a custom ROM. Just turn it in for repair and blame yourself on this one.

OK, here's the assistance you're looking for:
Request an RMA from Google, Motorola, or whomever you bought it from. That is your only option.
In wugfresh click return to stock, then click preferences button on bottom make sure to check all 3 boxes to force flash, when finished reboot phone and you should be able to go into settings to check the unlock option.

Are you sure you'e understood the problem? You cannot unlock because you need Android to boot to unlock? Or is this a new magic function that none of us know about?

Yes I understand what the op is talking about, I just went through it yesterday. Was rooted and I relocked my boot loader by mistake while trying to flash back to stock. And right now I am responding by using my nexus that has been fully restored back to stock.

yea, if you have twrp installed, its easy to get out of this situation. all you have to do is is format userdata and cache with fastboot(or use the toolkit). but without having twrp installed, i dont see a way out.
The op never said whether he has twrp installed or not. I was sharing my experience but I was in the same boat.

Just make sure you get the HTC One recovery and not the N4.. based on your lack of knowledge, based on your multiple questions, I would hold off a bit though.. as far as I know there isn't a confirmation as to if the recovery from the normal One is compatible with the GE One. I could be wrong though

You don't need to wipe for a recovery. When you get the device and its good to go, go into fastboot and type
"fastboot oem unlock"
Then after you unlock it reboot into the stock recovery and do a factory reset.. then hold off for recovery. Once your unlocked you no longer are required to wipe for anything

Rooted using a combination of instructions. Pleased to say it worked. Only problem I have had so far is that on one occasion it told me I was not rooted, when in fact I was. A reboot fixed that problem.

Hi all,
I flashed the factory image from developer.google.com version 5.1 for my Nexus 6. After installing all my phone keeps rebooting and optimizing apps. It keeps doing this and i cant seem to find a way to get in my phone.
I relocked bootloader and cannot unlock it now because it says i need to check OEM unlock in developer options.
Any idea how i can fix this? it looks like im stuck and cannot find a way to unlock anymore to flash something else.
also, i went back into recovery and formatted data and cache. no effects after this.

Yes (and hopefully no) .... we can access fastboot, but that doesn't help because (as you know) we can flash stock images with a locked bootloader. I am hoping some of our brilliant devs can come up with a solution (they like a good challenge LOL) being we can get to fastboot, but if not, yes, we are essentially bricked
There's an option in advance that force flashes the stock image...trying going back to 5.01 then 5.1. I tried doing the flash files like some did and got stuck in a infinite bootloop so I went into the advanced thing and done it there.
HI all,
I also faced same issues Nexus 6 keep rebooting after updating to 5.1.
Locked Bootloader

You could try sideloading the Marshmallow update to see if that helps, sideload it and then factory reset. See if it boots fine then.

so here is what happened, i was rooted with an unlocked boot loader running chroma rom. i then tried to unroot my device to return completely back to stock. After the process was done, i formatted and wiped everything then did a reboot. when android started up chroma rom was still on there and i can't access developer settings to unlock my boot loader to flash stock image. so now i am stuck with a locked boot loader and a bootloop device. i have tried adb sideload and got back 2 errors that the footer is wrong and the signature. i don't know what to do now. so Please Help! thank you in advance.

Here is the option. Direct from Wug's FAQ. "If you device is bootlooping or can’t boot up, use “Flash Stock + Unroot” with the “Soft-Bricked/Bootloop” option and follow the onscreen instructions for manually booting your device into bootloader mode and restoring your device."
Can't use flash stock option without an unlocked bootloader.

Why is this happening so often. Sorry but getting late to the party, I just bought my N6 from Best Buy and have been trying to get caught up on all the reading before it gets here. Is it user error or something else?
BTW, from what I see he can probably break it down and sell the parts on ebay then get close to a new one for $350.

We don't know but this sucker likes to bootloop. Never relock the device till after it boots and running. Concerning relocking non-stock have seen it bork TWRP and kernel.

because many people dont read and educate themselves beforehand.
I don't understand why people are re-locking their boot loader. Unless you are returning the device, what is the purpose of re-locking it? I don't get, in this particular thread, why or how the boot loader got locked?

And that is a key question.
I was trying to get ready to turn in my nexus 6 and so I flashed a stock rom (apparently minus the recovery) and relocked my device. I now have twrp but stock 5.1 installed. twrp boots okay but internal storage is 0mb and it appears unable to format partitions. any ideas on a resolution? very comfortable with fastboot (bootloader loads normally) but can't seem to get anything working otherwise.
