I doubt that you needed to use that fix. That fix is for the downgraded bootloader brick. I suspect you were only in soft brick. Was it bootlooping?
Hold power and volume down to enter bootloader. Do or did you have TWRP installed?
More information please.

Dear. there is nothing after hold power and volume down, can't reboot, enter bootloader and TWRP... There is nothing on screen even charging... Only black screen. It quite strange
It show new added hardware when the phone connect with PC.
I only root and install xposed. System is 5.1.1, international version.
It showed qhsubs_bulk before I install Qualcomm Drivers. So I think maybe there are similar issue. Thanks

No. But if can't boot at all will have to RMA. N9 and N6 will show nothing if battery completely down. Has to have at least 10% (guessing) before will do anything once totally depleted.

Flash-all doesn`t on Windows, you have to flash the img`s seperately in fastboot. Just press volume up and down +power to get in fastboot mode.

hi,
I seem to have the same problem as OP, I have no access to fastboot, either by console or button combination.
I also tried the solution provided by opssemnik but when I try to use blank-flash I get the error "sdl-transfer-image:send-image:sdl-open-multi:target error" when flashing singleimage.bin.
I have Lollipop 5.1.1. Any ideas? My phone seems a goner now...

DO you have SDK manager installed on your computer and your phone's manufacturer Drivers? If not install SDK Manager here.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#top Scroll down to the bottom of the page and select SDK tools only, you will see the link for windows.
After you've installed this and the drivers from the manufacturer go into SDK you just installed and install "Google USB Driver".
From there open a command prompt, plug your phone into the computer and type "adb reboot bootloader" without the quotation marks and that will get you into bootloader. you can also type "adb reboot recovery" without the quotes.
ANother way is to go to Titanium backup, hit menu, scroll down to reboot to recovery. One of those should work.

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.
Any help, advice etc would be hugely appreciated. Thanks

Read the guide on how to fastboot flash a factory image. No toolkit necessary.
Would you mind posting a link to a guide? I forgot to add that I don't want my phone to become rooted by trying to fix this issue, I want to keep it stock like it was, also does not have developer options enabled stop me from going further.
Sorry for the questions I'm a noob to this and quite anxious.

I've made the fastboot adb folder on my PC and attached my phone whilst it was in bootloader mode, I types in the command box adb devices and there is no list of attached devices.
I presume this is because I didn't enable developer options or USB debugging?

When in bootloader mode type : fastboot devices
-Edit- just read that your bootloade is still locked so i`am afraid there is nothing you can do to fix the issue as you cannot flash firmware with a locked bootloader. Best is to claim warranty because of a software issue while updating.

Thought this would be the case, I went into adb fastboot and typed in fastboot devices and its showing some letters and numbers next to fastboot on screen if that helps.
In the future I presume I should make sure to enable developer options first so I can get out if this mess?
Also would it be best when I get my new n6 just to sideload the latest update marsmellow by getting the factory image from the Google website? Last question can I skip from 5.0 straight to 6.0 sideloading or do I have tobdo it one at a time?
Thanks for trying to help matey

Next time enable usb debugging and ENABLE OEM UNLOCK, both in developer options. You can flash the latest firmware available directly in fastboot by flashing the individual img files.

It says this on my Nexus 6 phone screen.
Unlock bootloader?
If you unlock the bootloader, you will be able to install custom operating system on this phone.
A custom OS is not subject to the same testing as the original OS, and can cause your phone and installed applications to stop working properly.
To prevent unauthorized access to your personal data, unlocking the bootloader will also delete all personal data from your phone (a "factory data reset".)
Press the volume up/down buttons to select yes or no. Then press power button to continue.
Yes (Unlock bootloader, may void warranty)
No. ( Do not unlock bootloader and restart phone)

Sure, but first we have to get the phone working again,
Hi, so my phone's LCD and glass are broken and there is no display nor is touch working but the phone is on. I don't want to spend any money on it for replacing the LCD. It's on Android 7.0 stock, not rooted and everything stock and Wifi and USB debugging is NOT enabled although there is no lock code on the phone. I need to transfer my data to my pc (and no internal SD files are backed up in my Google account) but when I connect my phone to my PC, it doesn't show any files as i need touch to enable file transfer mode even though it recognized the nexus 6. Now i have 2 questions.
1. How to backup/transfer all my data? (preferably an alternative to the OTG mouse and HDMI solution since i can't find it easily in my country and can't order from amazon/ebay etc to my country).
2. How to reset the phone completely if i want to sell it to someone?
Any help would be highly appreciated on this matter...

Maybe if you have it connected to the device the Android device manager. I disable it myself so can't say for sure. Other then that. No you are not gonna be able to. I really would just replace the screen. Not only will you learn something but you will be able to get all your stuff as well as the sale value will be higher.

I tried turning my phone off but i think it doesnt turn off until you press the power off button on the screen, even if you hold the power button longer. so ill let my phone fully discharge so it turns off and then charge it a bit while its off and then try to turn it on in fastboot mode by pressing volume down and power and then enter the commands. seems right?

Yup, if you plug the phone into PC before booting into fastboot, hold vol- then hit power button,while in your fastboot directory on PC, hold shift and right click mouse button, then click open command prompt from here. Then type: fastboot devices this will then tell you on PC if phone is connected and ready to receive commands. If it returns your phones serial number then proceed with the commands
If you hold power button to reboot phone, as soon as phone vibrates hold the vol- key and it should put you into fastboot mode

can't seem to boot in fastboot mode. My PC recognizes nexus 6 when its connected in normal mode so i know when its normally on. So i tried holding the power down button for 10 seconds or so and then tried holding the volume down button for several seconds and then connected it to PC but fastboot didn't recognize it neither my PC in general but after a while nexus 6 showed up on my PC which probably meant it rebooted normally without going into fastboot mode. any tips?

Instead of doing all this, why don't u post a screenshot of the About Phone section?
Unleashed by ONEPLUS 3T rooted
Hi, guys. Yesterday I decided to change my phone's firmware, so I flashed a LineageOS ROM. Of course, I have unlocked the bootloader. And everything was fine. But I always wanted to use Android Pay, so I've decided to relock bootloader to make it work. And now I have so called "Red State":
"Your device has failed verification and may not work properly".
And then, the loading stops. No effect. Just this screen.
But the main problem is that I don't have any access neither to recovery, erecovery or fastboot.
Any key combination makes no good, the phone just boots to this screen.
I've tried to drain the phone's battery and plug it into computer, but it didn't make any good.
Is there any way to recover my phone? Or it's already a hopeless brick? Please, help me, I've spent two whole days on it.
why you lock bootloader when it has wrong recovery? you should have had installed stock recovery before locking device.

Don't do anything hastily. Your phone should be fully operational before you install TWRP.

I've been at this for three days and can't find a solution. I can get in to recovery but when I hit reboot to bootloader it gets stuck in download mode. I can get back out.And the cycle repeats.... Have also done a reset. Any solutions for this besides sending it in for service? Thanks

So you can’t boot to system? Or you can’t use download mode?

The system works fine. Just can't use download mode..Not allowing to connect with adb fastboot.

You need to explain what you mean by that and what things you did before this occured. Have you tried getting to download manually? By that I mean turning the tablet off and then holding vol up and down while plugging in the USB cable to the PC. Also, what happens when you try to boot to system?

Ah, so your problem is only that you can't use fastboot. Have you installed TWRP? This model doesn't support fastboot by itself. You have to first install TWRP to use fastboot.

You need to read this thread to install TWRP. You do it with Odin and not fastboot. Odin is what Samsung uses INSTEAD of fastboot.
I cannot install TWRP,..
1.I Shut down
2.Press power and Vol up button
3.Gets in Recovery
4. I scroll to Reboot to bootloader
5. Goes into download mode. Freezes
6.Press power and Vol down buttons
7.Goes back to home screen
8. Rinse and repeat

Do you have Odin running? Do you get the "added message" in Odin? That is the only way to tell if it is connected. You say it "freezes" but that is normal. So long as you get the added notice in Odin, you are ready to flash. If you don't get the "added" message, then you have to enter the download mode manually and NOT from the recovery menu. Also, have you unlocked the bootloader? That has to be the very first step. Nothing will work till you do that.

I think I know what your problem is. You've had other tablets and have always used fastboot for rooting, unlocking and flashing. FORGET EVERYTHING YOU KNOW. Samsung doesn't work like other tablets. The ONLY time you use fastboot with this device is AFTER you have unlocked it, installed TWRP, rooted and want to install a GSI ROM. You DO NOT use fastboot to unlock the bootloader, root the tablet or flash TWRP, stock ROMs or custom ROMs. You can find instruction for unlocking the bootloader here. It is for the A7 but the A8 unlocks the same way. Then use the other link I posted for installing TWRP.
ONG he was using fastboot.

My understanding is different. The problem is that the download mode can't be started because there is a hangup. So how can you use Odin, which requires a working phone in download mode?
