I tried to install a Viper rom (the latest one) but it kept saying error and when I went back to reboot it said that my phone might be unrooted and there was a button that said FIX and a button that said No, reboot and another one that said go back. Through hesitation, I clicked go back on accident and it rebooted. I don't know why but it got stuck on bootloop. Now I stopped the boot loop by holding down the power button and the down volume key at the same time to go back to the bootloader. Now, my problem is, how can I fix everything? I can't boot back to recovery because it goes on a boot loop and I can't factory reset either. I tried using HTC One All in one toolkit but it doesn't recognize my device. It keeps saying "Error: device not found" but my phone clearly says Fastboot USB. I need help ASAP

First of all, don't use a toolkit. They rob you of the understanding you need to fix problems like this.
- You should be able to use fastboot to boot recovery. Can you?
- Did fastboot/USB connection ever work for you? How about adb?
- If you get fastboot working (drivers?), you can clear the cache with "fastboot format cache".
- If you can't boot recovery to do the other steps (factory reset and wiping the dalvik cache), you have bigger problems. But I think these steps CAN be done from the bootloader. Maybe not all of them--I'm not sure what will work and what won't, as far as various combinations of "fastboot erase dalvik / fastboot format userdata / fastboot erase userdata", etc.
- First, focus on booting recovery. Get fastboot working and clear the cache if you need to.
- Note that IF you can factory reset through fastboot (I'm not sure you can), it will wipe /sdcard as well.
adb doesn't recognize my device. I don't know why. I can't boot to recovery either.
Same problem
Hi mate i got the same problem as you
this is my thread

I did the same thing like you.
Adb only works within a working os or in recovery.
If you PC is not recognizing fastboot/adb drivers, install them from here

and also read here

Once setup enter bootloader

Your welcome. Glad you now have a working phone

So I seem to have made the mistake of formatting data - don't ask me why, I wasn't thinking. Now I cannot get past the bootloader or the Google splash screen. On Windows BTW.
Things I've attempted:
ADB and Fastboot - When I ran the command to unlock, it said I already was. :good:
CF's root - Rooted
Wug's toolkit - Tried returning back to stock img, but says ADB device was not found. Step 1 was to enable USB debugging, but I cannot boot into the ROM so that is a no-go. I am using the original OEM cord. I've tried using another USB port as well... nothing.
If I am missing something, please let me know. The drivers should be good to go since I upgraded them 2 days ago.
Update: Dowloaded TWRP and installed via Fastboot. Restarted bootloader, booted into recovery, and the TWRP splash screen popped up. Shortly after that, the Google screen came up and is hung.
I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/help-nexus-6-stuck-bootloader-t2949817. When I type fastboot devices, it shows my device's serial number.
Are you sure you didn't delete data? Formatting should not cause that issue. You can flash the stock userdata.img back and stock boot.img

or, while in twrp, adb push/sideload a rom(and gapps) to your phone and flash it in twrp recovery.
So I'm restoring my old Nexus 6 that is being sent back for RMA and I encountered an issue. I have flashed things so many times I should remember how to fix this, but I haven't encountered it since my Nexus 7. I flashed all of the images and wiped the userdata as per the usual order. Everything boots fine until I lock the BL. When I re-locked the BL and restart the phone it goes to wipe its self and encrypt. The issue is that the stock recovery which it boots into during this process just has a android with a hexagonal floating blue orb in his chest and sits there for what seems like indefinitely. Its been sitting like that for a hour or so now and when I check what its doing using the "hold power press and release vol up" it says formatting data. I also tried booting into the stock recovery via the BL menu and its doing the same thing. I tried both 5.0 and 5.01 images with the same result. The last time I did this I didn't encounter this issue. I just want to make sure it boots normally so I can send it back in. If I unlock the BL it boots just fine after I format userdata and cache, but it won't go past the above mentioned state when I lock it.
This is what I did as far as fastboot flashing goes (LRX21O) the 5.0 stock rom:
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-shamu-moto-apq8084-71.05.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-shamu-d4.0-9625-02.55.03a.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot format cache
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot
I'll try to re-download both images to see if maybe something changed but its odd because I have done this so many times its second nature. I think the issue lies with the encryption because I was unencrypted before and maybe it just takes forever.
Edit: after 2+ hours of it sitting there the phone finally booted. I thought it would never go past that screen but I guess encryption just takes forever.

After all of this, did you test the recovery? I've been having the same issue today, but my recovery still isn't coming up. Every time I try, I still get the dead android with the triangle in the belly, but I am booted up and running.
So im stuck with my nexus with no OS... after flashing pure shamu it booted to just a password box... I input my password and it said i had corrupt data. I hit reset... wiped phone... all files GONE... Now what do i do. I cant mount to put recovery on.... I cant do anyting with this phoen right now... anyone had this happen... If so what steps to remedy?
Sounds like you need to try and fastboot the original google files, nuke and repave....
flash the stock img then start again
Flashing stock as we speak... was hoping another optino.... but after years of doing this I kinda know better... live and learn
hell
Hi there, i'm new with Android and my problem is the same as yours on my Nexus 6.
after a failed root, i accidentally deleted all data. Now i'm without OS, boot locked, and the TWRP recovery has been deleted too (when i select recovery mode, it come back to the fastboot menu). i cannot use "fastboot oem unlock"
I don't know what i have to do . I really need help, i just want to restart from the beggining like official rom ...
sry for bad english.

If you can boot to TWRP recovery, then you can ADB push a ROM to recovery and boot it.
Edit: Sorry, I missed the fact that TWRP had been deleted too.

No, if you can boot to TWRP, as @rootSU said, you can move a ROM to internal and get up and running. Then you can go about unlocking.

Power off the device. Once completely shut down, hold power and volume down until bootloader screen appears. Then use the volume keys to select recovery. Then push power to select.
from your original post, it says your not running twrp anymore. have you tried just letting the phone try to boot up? have you tried reflashing twrp to your phone via fastboot. id try, and if its successful, id push a rom to my phone then. if not, try flashing a factory img.

Or, if you are still in fastboot, issue this command > fastboot reboot recovery

as i said before, when twrp has been deleted, the Recovery mode is useless : when i hit it, it instantly return to bootloader screen

Then I'm afraid you may be stuck. A RMA may be in your future if no one else can offer a solution.

flashing twrp..
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
and flashing a factory img is done while the phone is in its bootloader. there are instruction how here on xda. but to be honest, i dont know if that will work. where did you buy your n6 from btw?
I got a message saying that an update is availible and i tried to download and install it but it failed two different times so i gave up. Now after several power cycles due to normal use my razr i is stuck in a boot loop (static red moto symbol then boot animation with intel inside repeating).I got the phone into fastboot mode and then I downloaded and installed rsd-lite and all motorola drivers. 2 different computers that ive tried rsd lite does not detect the phone however fastboot does. Factory option just resumes the boot loop. I dont know how to procede from here?
Edit: Phone is locked bootloader unrooted
Okay i guess this thread can be left incase anyone else gets in my position. I was able to fix my phone as fastboot was able to detect. i simply typed
Code:
fastboot -w reboot
and it wiped my userdata and cache and allowed the phone to boot.
