[HELP] Phone probaly bricked!?

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...

SOLUTION those stuck in a bootloop with locked bootloader & TWRP

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.

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.

[Q] Project Fi Bootlooped with locked bootloader

Hi there,
While trying to restore my phone to factory condition using the Nexus Root toolkit, I then locked my bootloader. Now I'm bootlooped with a locked bootloader. Is there any way out?
Thanks ahead of time for your considerations,

If you booted and enabled OEM unlock in developer options before you locked it should be able to still unlock it. I bootlooped mine yesterday. Unlocked it again and flashed boot.img to fix the bootloop. If can't unlock not much can do I think. Never lock right after flashing without booting first and enable unlock in settings. If have TWRP may be able to sideload a rom and boot it.

well, the only way for you to unlock your bootloader and flash anything would be to boot up and enable oem unlocking. but you cant do that. do you havd twrp recovery installed by chance? your only option is to fastboot format your cache and fastboot format your user data. yes, thats your only option. otherwise your n6 is essentially a brick.

Tarp is installed... Step by step needed
Could you forward me a step by step?

Bricked Nexus 6 and cant unlock bootloader

without enabling oem unlock in the developer options, nope. but you can use the stock recovery to check if a factory reset would help.

Factory reset doesn't help. When trying to sideload I keep getting error "system partition has unexpected contents" (Status 7).

Then the toolkit most likely didn't replace the proper kernel, which is why the OTA failed. You'll have to RMA.

Thank you for your help

Which toolkit did you use? Try to flash everything in BOOTLOADER with the newest 5.1.1 using ADB and Fastboot commands as opposed to the Toolkits. I'm hoping your successful in your endeavours, I'm working on mine too. Even if you are missing any part of your stock image or basic partitions, you should be able to flash it back to normal via your bootloader. I had a similar issue with my Nexus 5, last week, actually.
EDIT: So, when you sideload or fastboot the system partition, it's stopping you? I may have sleep induced stupidity here and not fully taking in the issue but, I was able to flash 5.1.0 on my Nexus 5 after re-locking it via fastboot commands.

Not when his bootloader is locked. Unfortunately, the OP has locked his bootloader and can't boot to android to enable OEM unlock.

Can you fastboot boot twrp recovery? And if that is possible, will twrp flash zips with a locked bootloader?
Edit: I'm almost certain fastboot boot recovery won't work with a locked bootloader. I almost thought I had a good idea.

I am in the same situation. Bootloader locked and no custom recovery nor adb enabled. surprisingly enough, yesterday my phone could boot up but it's stuck now in the configuration process. I cannot access to the settings so I can check usb debugging or oem unlock. I can only access the dialer. my question is: is there anyway to do that with just a dialer code?

Just to clarify: you never need to relock your bootloader! Unless you have some kind of security restrictions from the company you work with or something, just don't!
OTA can be installed even with the bootloader unlocked (normal or sideload). The only prerequisite is that the system is stock (not rooted, stock kernel, stock recovery, and so on).

Sorry for the noob question but where can I find these OTAs and how to install one of them? Does it require usb debugging to be enabled?

I'd like to go back to miui 10 as well (v2.13). BL unlocked but I have a weird problem when flashing. I can't flash crclist partition (just failed). What you guys think - is safe to try fastboot erase and then flash? Someone had promlem like mine before?
Btw - crclist "image" is just a txt file.
