Nexus 6, Deleted System Partition- Cannot Recover - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The system partition was deleted and the phone has TWRP. The mac recognizes the ADB device and the MTP. Tried toggling the MTP, no success. Currently android file transfer fails every time due to a missing MD5 file in the android 6.0.1 zip, although all that is being attempted is a drag and drop. ADB sideload says it has completed but no files appear on the phone to flash, or in the file explorer, and so does ADB push. Tried re-downloading the rom, rebooting the phone and everything else.
Any help is appreciated.

That is what is being attempted. All data has been wiped from the phone and there is an issue getting the ROM and a new TWRP to the phone. The only available computer is a mac and Android File transfer keeps reporting a MD5 file error whenever the rom is tried to be moved over.

thats not how you flash a factory image. you boot into the bootloader, and use fastboot to flash it, via your computer. you dont download it to your phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/guide-flash-factory-images-nexus-6shamu-t2954008

The factory image is the .TGZ file? Or one in there. I am accustomed to just flashing zip files from TWRP on a OnePlus One but this is a friends Nexus 6 and in a very odd state.

yup, its a .tgz file. download it, "unzip" it, then flash each partition separately instead of all together using fastboot. its the only way to get everything back. then you can flash twrp after, and SuperSU.

Sorry this is very simple but everything is going wrong...flashing the system.img exceeded partition limits. Do I rename files or just type them as is. Sorry many guides are contradicting and I'm very confused.
EDIT: The phone isnt being recognized by the computer in fastboot mode.

just type in the names, like system.img or boot.img.
and did you install the driver for adb.fastboot?

This is on a mac and ADB was recognizing the device beforehand but fastboot is not. I am not sure if he has the fastboot drivers installed. I will check that

[Q] 1,31 , no rom or adb

So basically the only thing working in fastboot
somehow i have managed to wipe everything off of my device so there is no rom installed what so ever...which means i am unable to turn on usb debugging to get adb working. I am also on 1.31 so the RUU method will not work. i am able to flash whatever recovery or Superuser i wish and root/unroot as i please.
the only solution i can think of would be to flash a signed stock zip using "fastboot update signedstock.zip" but the ones i found here -http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2368907 dont seem to work. i get errors like no "boot.img" or "does not contain android-info.txt"
any suggestions?

just a fyi you can use fastboot to flash a rom if you put it in the same folder as the platform tools folder of your sdk, All roms have a android-info.txt file that's how android knows how to flash what to the particular partition.
you can flash any zip file from fastboot as long as it has the android-info file
fastboot flash zip nameofzip.zip

Your bootloader must be unlocked to use this. If your bootloader is not already unlocked, unlocking it will wipe your data and this method is not recommended.
This is a modified factory image that will not erase your user data or custom recovery. This can be used even if you’re rooted and with modified system files, xposed framework, or custom recovery. Once installed you will lose root, just flash supersu in your custom recovery. Xposed should still be on your device so just go into the app and re-install it. For any modified system files, you will have to re-modify those.
This is intended for those on the stock rom, rooted, and with a custom recovery. It’ll work if you have a custom rom but will put the stock system on.
I am not responsible for anything you do to your device so flash at your own risk. Always backup before doing any significant changes to your device. I would recommend off your device in case something happens
.
To use, download the modified factory image here https://mega.co.nz/#!AAATiKpI!PJbBgroM6PB7tTAs_TanCOrlzAeqBq0PEupNyvU72pEl Use 7-zip or winrar to extract the files.
Supersu by chainfire can be found here, CWM / TWRP / MobileODIN installable ZIP: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
Boot into the bootloader. From a cmd window opened where the flash-all file is just type flash-all. You can use shift, right click on the occam-ktu85l-Modified folder to open a command window in the correct folder. ADB/FASTBOOT must be intalled on your PC.
You can also just double click on the flash-all.bat
This is tested on a windows machine; however it should work on a Mac too, flash the flash-all.sh.

I have tried to enter the adb commands into the command prompt but it says they are unrecognised and I dont know exactly why the adb will not fucntionhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/confused.gif. I think I may have disabled USB debuging by mistake before I had the bootloop.

Nexus 6 stuck at google screen , Need Assistance.

So i tried flashing the factory image onto my rooted nexus 6 device manually , but while doing so i couldnt get the system.img to load as it kept saying "unable to allocate byte 1176........bytes" something like that. So i read about this error on some forums and they suggested to erase system , cache , userdata and then try flashing the stock image. Upon doing so it gave the same error and unable to load sys.img file.
Now , im stuck at the splash screen with stock recovery and bootloader working fine.
Im aware that my phone is bricked please advise what can i do to fix this issue.???
Thank you
I take it you placed the system.img in the platform-tools folder an you typed fastboot flash system system.img in cmd.

First thing, do NOT lock your bootloader. Are you trying to use flash all? If so, do not. Flash the images separately.

Yes i did place is it under the platform tools folder and tried flashing separately as per the instructions given to flash manually.
I know that i should not lock the bootloader.
Im currently trying to flash using the toolkit "flash stock + unroot" and chose the current status "Softbricked/ bootloop in the bootloader mode.
Is this the right option or should i stop it ?

If your Android SDK is more than 6 months old, you may need to update it. Google updated fastboot to allow flashing these very large files.

No, by using fastboot commands.. The location of the images you flash is irrelevant.

Either there is a problem with the system.img (redownload) or there is a problem with the flash memory on your device.
You could flash a custom recovery and use that to flash a zipped ROM to see.if that makes any difference.

if you are using the flash-all, dont, as that gives many people problems as of lately. instead, you want to unzip and flash each partition separately.
Here is a detailled guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701 for how to flash a image, use method 2. Its the same for the N6 as for the N5.

Possibly because your Android SDK tools are out of date(specifically fastboot).

[help] Locked bootloader, and stuck in bootloop with TWRP installed.

So I just bought a new phone and was getting ready to reset my Nexus 6 back to stock and relock the bootloader. Using Wugs toolkit I for some inexplicable reason relocked the bootloader before going stock. I got myself stuck in a boot loop but was eventually able to get into TWRP. Since I cannot unlock the bootloader without checking the box in the SW I want to flash a rom there but sdcard cannot mount in twrp and I am stuck. What should I attempt next or should I rma with Moto?

You must use fastboot commands.
fastboot format cache
fastboot format userdata
Then you can transfer a ROM from your PC and flash.

After issuing the fastboot commands I provided, MTP transfer should work.
Simply boot to TWRP after formatting from bootloader. Connect to PC, and you should see your device detected. Drag and drop the ROM in your internal storage.

Have seen this before. Try unplugging and plug back in. There is some way to access it. Never had to do it.

Did you use the fastboot commands?

I had previously tried those before opening this thread, then I tried them again just now. I attached the output from command prompt.
Ok I am now able to get to a point to where I can flash a rom and not get any errors (at least no visible ones) but I still get stuck at the boot screen with the colored dots animation. Is there a specific rom I should try to install?

If want pure stock deodexed this is based on latest factory image. Wipe everything and flash per the OP.

Thanks, I ended up finding a file that could be flashed via an adb command in twrp which let me issue the fastboot oem unlock command and I then flashed stock through twrp. I think I got it working now.

Stuck in Oneplus logo. Can't access recovery. Fastboot working.

Hi everyone.
I was trying to flash Nitrogen OS. First I flashed the latest firmware, then the actual rom and then GAPPS. After that my mobile got stuck in Oneplus logo without being able to go into recovery mode.
I tried using fastboot to flash the files in this thread(https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/unbrick-unbrick-tutorial-oneplus-3t-t3515306) which worked once, but even after that I can't surpass the logo screen.
I've been trying to look for information but I can't find anything.
To clarify:
- I already tried erasing userdata and cache from fastboot
-I already tried flashing recovery images from twrp, stock and bluspark
Thanks in advance guys.

Which TWRP are you using? Which firmware are you flashing? You can't access recovery at all? I've run into plenty of bricks like this and I'm usually able to get back to recovery by forcing the device off (vol up + power hold) and rebooting back to recovery. and if that doesn't work I can at least get to the bootloader and re-flash a recovery file.

I was using last bluspark recovery. I was flashing OB21 when everything happened.
There is no way I can access to recovery. I tried reflashing the stock recovery from that unbricking thread with all the other things through fastboot and I can't boot into recovery at all. It is the first time I face this error so I am lost.

okay, well what I would do is boot into the bootloader, and then reflash the blu_spark recovery via adb so you can boot into it. then wipe everything and restart. but this time I would try the OB 20 firmware and not the 21. when I was on NOS I used that one and it worked just fine. I'm not sure if it made a difference, but I flashed the firmware both right before and right after flashing NOS

It doesnt recognize my device through adb and I don't know why. If that worked I would have tried to sideload some firmware, but when I do adb devices it doesn't appear

idk if it'll recognize as an adb device if it's in the bootloader. maybe try fastboot devices? sorry, I'm just spitballin here

Somehow fastboot devices does send me that my device is there but adb devices no, I will try looking into that to see if that works. Thanks for the help anyway

yeah! try fastboot flash recovery "recovery file name".img
make sure that recovery img file is in the platform-tools file (or wherever your adb files are) and see if that works!

I mean idk if you wanna do this, but you could always try to "format userdata", then flash the stock recovery, and then sideload OOS. but you would lose all of your data in your internal storage, and it's still not a guarantee. there are some posts about doing a full wipe and starting from scratch. I'd look into those. Best of luck reviving your OP3T

just a tip, try posting the output instead of "it's not working",
so the devs here might be able to analyze the problem..

I already post a lot of information on the first post:
Mobile not passing the first time Oneplus logo appears.
Only fastboot is working, not adb, not recovery.
I already tried flashing other recoveries and the stock one->Can't pass Oneplus logo anyway
Tried formatting userdata through fastboot and flashing the .img files from my first post->Not working
Then just do the Qualcomm restore and unlock, boot to fastboot and flash the latest TWRP. Then boot into TWRP and format cache partitions, system and data and then adb sideload using this option under TWRP advanced to flash firmware zip, NitrogenOS zip and then 8.1 Gapps and try booting to see if same thing happens again. You are using the NitrogenOS stock kernel and not some other?

What do you mean by the Qualcomm restor and unlock? I already tried the flashing of latest TWRP and it did not work.
I was coming from Validus last beta but did a previous factory reset and that stuff.
Thank you for the answer

What he meant is probably unbrick tool - https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/unbrick-unbrick-tutorial-oneplus-3t-t3515306
Try flashing official firmware with it and then try again by flashing TWRP and flashing Nitrogen.

I can't install the drivers:
-First, stupid Windows policy saying that its driver is the best one available.
-Second, choosing from a disk to avoid one saying that the driver is not a x64 one.

None of that answer what he actually asked, which is: what was the output (error message, result, etc.) when you tried to flash TWRP?
Did it flash successfully, but still can't boot to TWRP? Or else, what was the exact error message?
In general, when asking for help and giving status, be specific as possible, and give as many details as possible. Saying you "tried xxx" or "it did not work" is not specific enough.
Seems silly, but I've seen a lot of times where it's as simple as the user not using the correct command or entering the right file name.

There were no errors when flashing TWRP. When I tried rebooting using fastboot(fastboot boot recovery.img) it got stuck in the message saying booting up... and the only thing that changed was that my phone left the bootloader screen to a screen with the Oneplus logo and a fastboot mode message under it.
The command I used was fastboot flash recovery recovery.img(Name of the actual recovery file)
