Bricked Nexus 6? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I recently tried to flash the latest factory image via WugFresh toolkit, however, now my phone does not boot up. It is stuck at the Google logo. Any help greatly appreciated. I would assume the device is soft bricked not hard bricked.

Is your bootloader unlocked?

Dont use toolkits unless you know what they do software wise. If it screws up you dont have a place to start. Its a nexus... Just cause you can flash stuff on it dont mean everyone should

Hi, my bootloader version is 80.89. I'm also using Milestone XT720. Could you help me find the proper vulnerable recovery flash file?

Yes...you can always go back to factory settings by flashing a stock sbf file...As long as you can boot into the bootloader
is hard reset like flashing?
on windows mobile, if i mess up, hard reset goes back to stock. even if it stuck on logo

I replied in the other thread but if you pulled the cable when flashing bootloaders, your phone is most likely hard-bricked and the only way out is JTAG.

[Q] Verizon LG G2 Flashed TWRP using flashify, can't get into recovery?

Hi All-
I spent several hours trying to get ADB to work on my Verizon LG G2, nothing worked (device not connected error). So I flashed the latest TWRP for the Verizon LG G2 from the Android Development section using Flashify. I can get into recovery using an app, but I can't manually get into recovery using the rear buttons. I power off, hold the power and volume down buttons..then when LG comes up I hold them again and the phone just reboots. I have tried this a thousand ways, and I can't manually get into recovery (which scares me). It seems everyone else is able to do this, maybe do I need to reflash recovery using the ADB method if I can get it to work? I can get into it now through the OS and make backups, I am just worried I will flash a rom and NOT be able to do that. Any ideas what I can do to manually get in?
Thanks-
Sean
I'm on my phone now but had the same problem.
Flashify was the culprit.
Change computers and find the thread asking for a video of how to install TWRP. I followed the instructions and it worked.

Try holding volume down + power
Immediately when LG appears let go of both and ONLY hold onto power, should boot into option to factory reset
Hit power button 3 times to continue, then itll load twrp
let me know if this works.
Thanks!
Thank you illyfilly and bodom_hc. Bodom_hc's method worked. I know others must be having this same issue/maybe someone should post it up somewhere. I really apprecaite the time you both took out to reply to me. Now I can flash rom's like I have for every other device. Much appreciated, thank you!

Was stuck in boot loop could not get into recovery.
I was having a similar issue - tried to flash TWRP using flashify and got to a point where I could load into my ROM fine, but nothing I tried would get me into recovery mode - the phone would just show a couple lines of text and then a black screen. Fortunately I still had adb access and used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670 (along with youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZSjL6FCyxA).
Using this stuff I was finally able to flash TWRP 2.6.3.1, and from there I had a stable recovery to work with. 2.6.3.2 and 2.6.3.3 did not work for me when trying to flash with Loki, but 2.6.3.1 did. Not sure what the deal was there, but I was probably doing something dumb.

Can anyone quadruple confirm that doing this does NOT erase all user data/settings and factory reset the G2? I'm honestly too scared to do this as I can't do a nandroid backup without TWRP... Thank so much!

Thanks! I ended up downloading FreeGee from the Play store & flashing TWRP the way. Worked and booted into recovery. Still seems weird to me that flashify would make you go to the permanent reset function and say yes.
That's how it works with a locked boatloader. Pretty common.
Thank you

I thought i sh*t bricked my phone and pants. FreeGee soothed my soul.
Flashify
I tried Flashify and it didn't work...It didn't flash the recovery img i selected that was placed on the sdcard. I saw a post about FreeGee on the first couple of pages of this thread and gave it a try. I was very happy that it worked on the first try...
Freegee worked great for me also. Flashify did not.

Will pay for help

Hi. So I have a N6 which I appear to have bricked in some way. The phone was bootloader unlocked, rooted, everything. Then I got cute and just wiped everything off the phone, in my haste and stupidity. Now I seem unable to get it back to working status.
I am willing to pay someone to do this for me, as I need to know if it is salvageable, or just something to use for parts.
Any enterprising person is encouraged to respond. Thanks for the consideration.
More details please?
"Wiped everything off the phone"? How? In TWPR or Factory Reset? In ADB?
Does it boot at all? Does is partially boot and get stuck at Google screen or boot animation? Do you see any light at all coming from it?
Can you boot into Bootloader (Volume Up+Power) or Recovery (Volume Down + Power)?
Need just a bit more information before a proper diagnosis can be performed.
sounds like you did a "full" wipe, full as in everything. what you want to do is move a rom, a kernel, and supersu to your phone and flash it. you can do that via adb, or just with twrp.

Thanks for replying.....I believe I wiped the phone in TWRP. When I plug the phone in, I get the Google logo pop up, then disappear. That's all I get. I cannot boot into Bootloader or Recovery, to my knowledge.

Either flash a stock rom in fastboot or adb sideload a custom rom in TWRP, you`re not bricked. Did you format the sdcard or wipe the OS?

Just in case you don't know: to boot into bootloader hold volume down and power from an unpowered state (phone off). After that: fastboot stock or flash a custom ROM through TWRP.

You didn't wipe the bootloader.
Hold volume down, then hold power.
The phone will boot to fastboot mode and you can use fastboot to flash the factory image... Google supplies complete instructions on this on the factory image page, and there are tons of guides here....
Fastboot to stock and leave your phone stock until you learn at least the basics of what your doing.
BTW you had to do this to even get TWRP on your phone but you were lazy and used a toolkit instead of learning how to flash images to your phone, and as a result you have no idea how to fix anything
This is why we don't use toolkits kids.

I suppose thanks are in order. Admittedly, I messed up, and I did use a toolkit. But since lazy is a character trait and not necessarily an action, perhaps you can try and keep it positive. You don't know me, so don't characterize me. You can be helpful without beating your chest and calling people lazy. Happy Holidays!

Problem Solved
With Woody's help, was able to download phone driver to my computer, after which I was able to use the toolkit again to download the 6.0.1 version of Marshmallow and flash it to my device. Thank goodness! Thanks Woody!

This is true. One should never mess with something when they dont know what they are doing. This is the major issue with toolkits. It makes people dumber.
Yes, I used the toolkit this time, but now that I am restored, really want to get into this, and I have downloaded the appropriate tools for doing this without a toolkit. Like I said to scryan, the tone here is pretty negative. I am really grateful for the help I was given. Have a good day everyone.
John, I have watched your thread with interest (catchy title... ) and I sort of agree that there is a certain negativity in some of the answers, particularly when it comes to toolkits. However, you didn't help your case with your comment "I suppose thanks are in order". Yes, they are. People here can be a bit prickly but everyone does try to help.
Good luck with learning more about manual updating. I've used Wugfresh's NRT many times with success, but it's actually very rewarding to type the commands and achieve the result on your own.
So, when do we get the money?
I want hard cold moolahhhhh
