done a dozen of times. changed radios reflashed recovery! all!
the nandroid is working fine
Use a different rom or start from scratch on the one you're trying to use(not your nandroid)

i'am trying from scratch. wiped everything tried from the begining. even changed the radio
Yes - well I have observed these symptoms before.
The kernel is falling over loading the audio drivers.
It's very strange but if you slow the boot process down you can work around the problem and then get the phone to boot. Once it has booted once the problem doesn't tend to reoccur very often. I have only noticed this on a handful of phones although I can reproduce it from time to time.
When "stuck" (it is actually boot-looping as you observe) reboot to recovery using adb or finger-gymnastics and wipe dalvik-cache (or cache for that matter)... but you need only wipe one of them. Reboot the phone from recovery, should boot as normal but may take a loooooong time the first time...
Please report back, I'd be interested in your findings.

i will try it later tonight. the part that's bothering me it's that i loaded several kernels on my current nandroid and every single one is working fine! when i flash a new rom though i get this issues...
hmmmmm nop... not working. i flashed, and rebooted. pulled battery and wiped cashe same thing. then nandroid restore, flashed again, restarted, pulled battery and flashed dalvik. same thing...
i think i sorted out the issue... dunno why it happened but i flashed the stock rom part by part via fastboot and it seems that everything is fine now...
I had the same issue. It happened on every single ROM + Radio combination you can think of, including stock everything. Finally gave up and sent my N1 to get repaired. Received it a week ago and it's working again. They also re-locked my bootloader... And now here I am contemplating unlocking it again... but I don't want to go through that experience again.
I'd send it in rooted or not, if you still have the problem going back to stock.
They say once your device is turning on, its not a hard brick, well explain this. My motorola Nexus 6 won't boot, when I try to power it on, it shows the Google logo then shuts off immediately. When I plug in the charger from a complete power off, the white battery sign keeps flashing, it shows for 1 second then shuts off then repeats the cycle of showing the battery sign then shutting off. It boots into bootloader/fastboot mode fine, and I have tried flashing the factory image, forced flash each partition individually, YES ALL OF THEM, YES I HAVE THE LATEST SDK YES THE LATEST FASTBOOT AND ADB, YES I CHECKED THE MD5 OF THE FILES, YES I USED DIFFERENT CABLES PORTS AND COMPUTERS. it flashes fine in terminal all the files go through with result ''OKAY'' but it still shuts off immediately while showing the first google logo after i reboot. It won't even boot into stock recovery after the flash, it just shuts off after the google logo. i tried with costum revovery same result. i tried 5.0 LRX210 and 5.1 LRX22C. This isn't my first nexus, in know that flashing factory image should fix 99% of issues, ive been flashing phones and rooting for years and i know that nexus devices are somewhat impossible to hardbrick. i made sure to exhaust every option i knew of before posting here, Ive tried the toolkit and its options countless times ive had many sleepless nights now over this. Please help.
P.S I didn't purchase officially from google or Motorola, I bought it for $580 from a guy who claimed he bricked it trying to install a font pack ''iFont'' so I figured let me buy it and restore factory image, easy win. Didn't work. He said he rooted it, installed custom recovery and euphoria os rom. Then he installed the fontpack, it told him to reboot to apply changes, and when he rebooted it wouldn't boot past google screen after that. not even to the boot animation, It just shuts off. When its off and u plug in the charger it does the same thing, you just keep seeing the charging symbol over and over because its constantly rebooting. Its a T-Mobile Nexus 6 BTW, model number XT1103. I am now looking at a motherboard for the nexus 6 on ebay which is $300, as this is the only thing i see left to do. Please any help would be appreciated. I can promise a hefty $$$ reward for any individual that helps me recover it to a working state.
I think they say as long as you can get to the BOOTLOADER it's not a hard brick. But as far as the issue itself, I have no idea. You said you flashed the factory images and it still didn't help?
U manually flashed the images correct? Any errors when flashing? Are you using the flash all bat script or flashing each file separate?

Its all BS, there's not really such a thing as a soft. A Brick is a Brick. If your phone is bricked, the only fix is to send it for repair so the manufacturer can fix it. If it can be fixed without doing that, its not a brick.

If it can stay connected while flashing. Does it reboot when connected like charging and stay in bootloop?

no.
but after flashing the factory img, you might have to wipe data for it to boot.

NONE of this suggests that your phone is a brick. In fact, it all proves that it is NOT a brick.
*which is not to say that it isn't BROKEN.
"i tried with costum revovery same result. i tried 5.0 LRX210 and 5.1 LRX22C"
Let me ask you this; did it reboot when you booted into a custom recovery? If custom recovery worked, then it seems like the unit can still be saved.
BTW: LRX22C is also 5.0. Specifically, 5.0.1. 5.1 is not available yet.
So a little bit of clarifications first;
HAVE you tried to perform a factory wipe (via recovery) or otherwise FORMAT (not "fastboot erase") the data and cache partitions? No part of your message mentions formatting the data or cache partitions. If the init is unable to manipulate/mount a possibly corrupt data or cache partition (or possibly some other partitions as well), then it WILL REBOOT.
In addition, some logs of the reboot could be useful if you are able to obtain any. A somewhat modified boot image can enable adb and kernel logging at a point from before the reboot occurs.

I don't think you need a new mainboard.
If what he explained to you is correct, then my previous about fixing corrupt data partitions should solve the issue for you.
Agree with the guy above me. Same thing happened to me on my Nexus 9. Manual flashes all successful but could not boot. Booted into recovery and did a factory wipe and all was well. I know this is the nexus 6, but it sounds like corrupted data.
I have a Blu R1 HD that I have been on again off again fiddling with for a few months that is soft bricked. It will turn on but it will hang on the second "Bold like us" splash screen after the animation ends. It had no recovery installed to it prior to the bricking, I have attempted flashing a stock rom to it with SPFT but It gets interrupted less then 3 seconds in. From my reading It seems like I have the 6.6 preloader that stopped spft from working.
Is there anything that could be done with this to get it working once again?

Depends on few things.
Do you know what was last thing done before this brick?
Have you tried holding volume up when powering on, to enter recovery(stock, i know you mentioned no custom recovery installed)?
It goes to and past the animation , so i don't think it is a secure boot type of failure. But maybe a bad data problem. See above statement about recovery.

I have gone into the stock recovery menu, And i have attempted factory data reset, clearing the cache, and a root integrity check. The integrity check says one item fails the check and that is "/system/lib/libLLVM.so"
The last thing that I recall happening is that I had a pop up saying that an app had stopped working, But it reappeared immediately after closing it again several times. I thought rebooting it would stop whatever was happening, but it never came back to the OS.
The device has a small crack on the bottom right hand side of the screen that happened when it fell from my pocket on top of a ladder. A family member who also works with electronics as a hobby thinks that may have something to do with it but the phone worked for weeks after the break happened.

I do not know if there will be any way forward with this.
As you are not bootloader unlocked, sp flash refuses to connect, and only thing that can be done on stock is "factory reset" did not help, you might be done , other that see if can send to Blu.

Sending to blu isnt an option. Out of waranty period, And I also opened it to make sure there was nothing obviously physically wrong.
I also tried using the dirty cow tool, But i cant seem to see the device in ADB. Fast boot however, can see it.
Update over ADB/SD in the stock recovery wouldn't lead me anywhere would they?
Hi, I have the Pixel 4 XL, yesterday I just unlocked its bootloader and flashed the patched boot.img, probably "QQ1C.191205.016.A1, Dec 2019, SoftBank, TW carriers" but my device is Unlocked, so maybe It should be patched by another factory image, anyway after some minutes the face unlock stopped to work, I tried to delete face details and repeat the process again bug cannot do... I decided to flash again factory image, and now every time that I clicking the standby button and click it again to use the phone - I see only black screen, the battery and clock icons are flicking I dont know what to do? any idea? thanks!

Sure. When you flashed the full image (not OTA) did you edit the flash-all.bat script to prevent wiping by removing the -w flag? If you did prevent wiping, try again and allow the install to wipe your data. As for which image to flash, check HERE... but flashing an image not for your region is not going to cause the issues you describe.

Flash the correct image per my link, and then do a factory data reset from recovery. Barring any hardware issues this will return your phone to "out of the box" state.
So I've had this issue on three separate Pixel 4 XL phones now and I'm pretty sure this is due to my error somehow.
My issue is after the phone passes the Google logo, a black screen pops up with the status bar flashing on and off, and occasionally the back button like this: https://imgur.com/iRzD1Jk
I've installed Magisk and EdXposed to use GravityBox and FingerFace, however I haven't done much more than that.
Flashing the factory image over while retaining data does not fix it, although I'm not sure why.
Factory resetting seems to fix it for a short time, but it seems to always come back, even if I don't install EdXposed.
Safe mode does not help.
I had also recently tried updating by flashing the February image over the January (without wiping data), and that seemed to let it boot. But unfortunately I decided to continue with the exchange as I had requested one before the update was released.
Does anyone have any similar experiences or any ideas for me to try?
Finally I found someone with the same bug that happened to me 2 times. I can't understand why this happens.
The first time happened when I rebooted my phone when dark mode was active, but looks like it happens randomly. I got that in november and then 2 days ago, without an apparent reason.
Looks like some UI related crash/bug, but I really can't undestrand what's causing that. Removing root/mods with a dirty flash of the rom doesn't fix it, only wiping.
Hope someone can point out a way to fix this really annoying bug, or a way to prevent it. It's really frustrating.
Have you tried uninstalling magisk then, if necessary, flashing system images? Fastboot boot the modified boot.img from my boot recovery thread that removes magisk. I believe it is due to a bad or incompatible flash as I've gotten this same thing before.

This happened to me too, I originally thought if was the Rom however dirty flashing the Rom again didn't fix it nor did dirty flashing stock image
What I do know is, this happened to me as soon as forced stopped gms services and removed GMS dose from magisk. As soon as I rebooted, this happened

It's kinda strange because I didn't touch anything for some days, and after a normal reboot this happened.
I tried restoring the stock boot.img from fastboot -> same issue
Reflash entire factory image without the "-w" so without wiping -> same issue
Even reboot in safe mode -> same issue
I don't think it's magisk fault because happened randomly the last 2 times, but I'll give your method a try if this happens again
It sure is giving off system UI crashing vibes. I definitely agree that this is an issue caused by something you did, not something inherent to the Pixel 4. Like suggested already, I would uninstall magisk as a next logical step since you've tried many of the other things I would have suggested. I wholeheartedly agree with Tulsa that this is a bad flash. Since you didn't wipe userdata when you flashed the factory image, the bad flash is still present so it's pretty safe to assume that you have a bad module installed or a bad combo of modules that don't like working together.

Yes. What is the flashing UI? I just ran it on my Pixel 2. It ran just fine. Yes it reboots during flashing as the script reads "rm-rf /data/adb/* && reboot" After it reboots, click on magisk manager. It should say you need to install additional files. It will then your phone will reboot again. Modules should be gone.

Check the link in my first post. That's what it looks like when it boots. I cannot get through that screen. It stays that way even if I dirty flash the factory image.

Is your phone rooted still? You must have root. Flash the magisk_patched.img again to make sure and try again.
You could also try the other boot image that installs a .disable-cache file.

I flashed both of your images as well as my original generated magisk_patched, and the original boot.img from the factory image. They all lead to the same booting issue.
I can tell when the Magisk modules are disabled because the modules that affect the clock position in the header returns it to its original position from center to left. But that's the only thing that changes. I can reflash the whole factory image and the issue still persists.

What order did you flash them in?
1. Flash magisk_patched.img then reboot.
2. Boot back to fastboot and boot one of my boot images.
If you have done this and still have a problem you will probably have to do a factory reset.

I appreciate you trying to help me.
I did this with the same results.
I am totally fine with doing another factory reset. My issue is that I've been having this issue across three different phones, and I believe the issue has happened a total of about 10 times, the longest time I've gone without anything happening appears to have been almost two months. I'm trying to understand what I'm doing that is leading to this problem more than anything.
When I install Magisk, I believe everything installs to partition B.
The issue is not caused by EdXposed because it has happened some times without it being installed.
I believe the modules I've used each time are:
-IOS 12 Emojis
-Systemless Hosts
-Call Recorder - SKVALEX
I believe I was also using FDE.AI, but I don't think that would cause this until after I pass the unlock screen, which I can't.
I've been using ElementalX as the kernel.
The issue comes up randomly, and sometimes I can reboot several days without anything happening. I can't see anything I'm doing between the final successful reboot and the issue coming up where this starts to happen that could be causing this.
The ONLY time this seemed to have been fixed was when I updated to the February factory image. However I already had a replacement phone coming, so I decided to still send the old one in.

That is a weird issue, for sure. I know of people that recommend flashing factory images and magisk to both slots but I've never have and have not had these issues on any of my Pixels (except on a bad flash).

Question that may be related. Is it normal that I can never boot from when it's set to slot A? Even manually flashing boot.img and magisk_patched to that slot doesn't work. The factory image seems to install everything to slot B and only seems to reference A a few times.

I don't know how old your phone is but the slots are used for when you receive firmware updates and don't change unless you receive one over the air. You can change it manually in fastboot
fastboot --set-active=a
Try that then install your firmware again. It should now just reference B a few times.
