I picked up my nexus after hiking, found it froze on a screen and VERY hot. I pulled the battery, let it cool, and now its stuck at the boot loader.
I can access fastboot, but i can not get into recovery.
i tried:
1) reflash revocery via fastboot - no go
2) Tried to restore nexus to stock by
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img - All flashed, but still end up in a stuck bootloader
Phone is STILL stuck at bootloader screen. Any help? I had the phone for only 3 months. I dunno if HTC will cover it. Honestly i don't even know what went wrong besides it overheated
EDIT: Got it fixed, another computer worked with ADB.
Apologies if this is a repost, I couldn't find anything that was specifically related. My Nexus 6 updated to 6.0.1 recently, worked fine. Next day, battery had run out of charge, plugged it in and it would only boot up to the bootloader menu. It won't boot up fully, or won't boot up recovery mode either. In the bootloader logs I get the following;
'failed to validate boot image: ret=-1'
If you try to run recovery mode;
'failed to validate recovery image: ret=-1'
I've tried to flash a stock recovery image and a stock boot image but to no success. Anyone have any solutions? Bootloader is unlocked and device is not and has not been rooted.
Edit - Nexus 6 fully working again! For whatever reason, I took out the SIM card tray and it worked first time. Thank you for all the responses!!

What does fastboot say?

Have you tried booting directly to your recovery? Try the following command without the quotes and replace "xxx.img" with the name of your custom recovery: "fastboot boot xxx.img". example.. fastboot boot twrp.img

It says it's sending 'recovery', writing 'recovery' and then finished. I restarted bootloader after it had done and tried to enter recovery mode but the same thing happened. It does say now in bootloader logs 'invalid boot image header'.
Then try booting to recovery.

May you find some solutions here
Okay, I took the SIM tray out, as I read that on the thread suggested, and I've been able to flash all the images necessary. Just booting up now, I'll let you guys know if it works! Thank you to everyone for the responses!!
This makes no sense as to why it works but it did just fix my spare nexus 6 that wouldn't turn on after sitting in a drawer for a week
So, I installed TWRP on to my Note 10 5G, and I rooted it with magisk successfully. But then magisk could update the app to v24 but it couldn't update the root itself. So I downloaded magisk v24, changed it to magisk.zip (not .apk) and tried to boot into TWRP but (to me) it didn't seem to be booting into it. I tried `adb reboot recovery` and `fastboot reboot recovery` but it didn't seem to work... or maybe it did work but I didn't realise that it had to show that "bootloader unlocked" bootscreen before going into TWRP.
So anyways when I thought it didn't work I tried to reflash it so I did fastboot flash a couple times but I can't remember what partition (I should of just refollowed the tutorial I was watching) but it seemed to erase the whole SDCard and stop it from booting (well it did boot but then it'd shut off and try to boot again). From there I could only get into fastboot. So I downloaded some sort of boot.img and flashed it to boot partition but then I broke it more and now I can't even get into fastboot and it's stuck in this infinite loop where:
It'd show that "bootloader unlocked icon" boot screen, then a glitchy static bar would come across the bottom of the screen for like 4 seconds before shutting off and then going back to that "bootloader unlocked" screen.
I can't detect it with ADB now, or get into fastboot to recover it. I wish I was more patient for TWRP to load.
So, what can I do now?
Spoiler
I swear I have an update curse. The last time I updated something was my PC's bios and accidentally turned it off and corrupted it. I fear that something like that could of happened.
(I got a new Mac since then tho, which is what I'm writing this post on.)
I'll help you tomorrow. Do you have Camellian?. Is your Device based on Mediatek?
I am having the infamous boot loop on the Mi Logo. It keep on non stop. After few attempt, I manage to get it to stay in fastboot.
So, I am trying to flash using miflash tool in fastboot. However it says unable to flash because my phone bootloader is locked. Anyone can help how to flash or fix this boot loop problem on a bootloader locked phone?
Thanks.
