You can fix it easily with a command. I assume that you have ADB on your computer, if not download the 15 seconds ADB installer
Connect your phone to your computer, enable USB debugging. Open CMD with admin privileges (just in case). Issue 'adb devices', if the phone appears, you're good to go. Otherwise check that the phone is unlocked, do it again, and allow the connection if a dialog appears.
Issue 'adb reboot disemmcwp' and you should be done

thanks alot, i really appreciate it. now i just need to figure out the delayed whatsapp msgs and this phone will be perfect

Oh I hate that. The only fix I found was to reinstall the system (full wipe, then reinstall). If you find a way to fix it without doing thay, please tell!

Full system? Do you know which version.? I'm on marshmallow B29

You obviously have to wipe everything. Use DrakenFX's files if you have an A2017U (over at the custom stuff thread). The version numbers are so different that I have no idea what Nougat for the U is...

Help downgrading from Nougat to Marshmallow and/or getting rid of System apps in N.

I have a problem with Nougat, and that is - i can`t deinstall system apps. I tried it with system app remover, but it fails on every app. Next i tried with a file manager, but that doesn`t work either. The folders + apk`s just won`t go away, even after a restart. Then i tried to deinstall some stuff via TWRP file explorer, but got a blank screen without any apps after loading into system again.
It wasn`t anything critical for the system to work (i know what i`m doing) so i don`t get where the problem is. I then tried to install Marshmallow, but got into a bootloop and had to reinstall Nougat.
So, if someone knows how to get rid of system apps on Nougat, or if you know how to downgrade, please tell me both. Thanks.
are you root? if so, i've had luck modifying system with Root Explorer. (not sure which explorer you were using)

I've had luck removing system apps with FX explorer, but I had to remount system R/W before it would let me. Also I'm rooted.
I'd advise against tying to downgrade from Nougat at this point, it has caused bricks for many people.

If you wish to get rid of system apps, simply flash via recovery, the lastest supersu vip; system[less], whichever your preference. If you haven't already flashed twrp after flashing Nougat, do so first.
Install Titanium Backup, and you're all set; I've done it myself and works as it should.
If you were trying to downgrade to Marshmallow, you'd need to do a backup + full wipe, and install the M bootloader, boot, system, etc, then you could restore a custom ROM backup, if you had one.

With out unlocked bootloader I don't really know. I guess you might be able to run a factory image . The latest from googles developers site .

Thank you all for your answers. I didn`t bother trying another root explorer as i thought they`re all the same, but i will try the ones suggested here. And yes, the phone is of course unlocked and rooted with the latest twrp and supersu installed.

Thanks. I flashed the latest twrp and supersu before upgrading to Nougat, and they both made it through, so it`s all set up.
I think i`ll try to downgrade since i don`t see the big Deal with N as of now + i have a much worse mobile data signal after updating to it. It`s almost constantly on H instead of 4g /LTE.
If someone is interested in downgrading, here`s an exact instruction that i found here on XDA:
"Download the MM stock firmware and extract all of it to a folder. Then open a cmd/terminal in the download folder (shift and right click in windows I believe, just right click and there will be a option in linux).
Then do these steps in order BACK UP YOUR APPS!!"
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
The names will be a little different, and if you want twrp put it in place of the stock recovery!
PS: Don't flash userdata
If that fails, i`ll install titanium backup to at least get rid of all the google stuff, like music, photos etc.

When I got my phone back after RMA from the BLOD it was on 7.0 and the first thing I did was flash a 6.0.1 factory image. I picked the same build number as the last Pure Nexus build in MM. I don't think flashing factory images through fastboot is a big risk as long as you are paying attention and following a good plan. Any other opinions are welcome.

Dude, does it fixes your lte issues? Because i am facing the same problem with my nexus 6p + android 7.1.1.
I personally have never had lte issues on any build, 6.x.x or 7.x.x on any custom rom or stock.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA-Developers Legacy app
https://developers.google.com/android/images You need a complete factory image flash, including /data.
I had LTE problems from 7.1.2b to 7.1.1 (while I didn't have them on 7.1.1 before switching to 7.1.2b) and they were solved by factory reset.

Help!

Why would you want cwm? TWRP is way better. Oh and your recovery is gone. You can be lucky that you didn't brick your phone. Next time, use TWRP instead and ONLY if you have the ability to restore everything with a PC. ONLY make such hard modifications to your phone if you have a PC nearby

Ok, I suspect something may be wrong with your root or TWRP or ROM, which may be the reason for the odd problems.
So do check & confirm root anyway, & also tell us the versions of your TWRP & ROM (latter in Settings > About phone > Build number).

One thing to try is formatting the internal storage to make sure you have a clean start. TWRP wipes /data without wiping userdata by default; to completely wipe the internal storage you have to go into the format data wipe where you must type "yes" to confirm instead of a slider. Sometimes leftover files can cause permissions problems and roms fail to boot. It is more common on other phones than this one, but I've seen some people report your problem before here too.
If you do this, obviously make sure you back up all the files you care about on internal storage to a microSD or off device. Also make sure you have rom/gapps to flash and a working TWRP backup stored on a microSD, or you've verified you can USB copy with MTP or adb push files from a computer to your phone before formatting. Don't find out after wiping and formatting that your computer is missing something it needs to copy files to your phone properly when your phone is booted into TWRP, test it first if you're going this route. Otherwise you could be stuck with a blank phone and nothing to flash on it.
I do this every once in a while just to keep internal storage from getting too cluttered from chronic flashing; just be careful about how you go about it.
Okay, I can try that.

TWRP 3.1 is out. I doubt that's your problem since you're flashing successfully and failing to boot, but updating recovery is something else to check off the list.
Are you on the L or M bootloader? It changed. Just looking for anything that might be causing the trouble.
Code:
getprop ro.bootloader
returns 0xA04C for me, and aicp is working good.

Fastboot says what bootloader version you're on close to the little reclining robot, but I think it displays it a bit differently. A0.4C trailed by a date if I recall correctly.
You could enter that command in TWRP's built-in terminal. I think the terminal is under the Advanced menu. That should get you the same output.

You will more than likely need to format data. This will cause you to loose everything. But that is what you are seeing, those folders, are your data. Just encrypted.
Also make sure you are on the latest version of TWRP. Sometimes the older unsupported version had encryption errors.
Omg this saddens me! So there's no way I am unable to at least retrieve my pictures?

Did u flash rom or anything else before getting this problem ?
Yup, I sure did! 4am couldn't sleep so I thought I would finally put a fingerprint mod on; which I have done this before with no issues. For the life of me, I don't remember which mod I tried to install thru Magisk.
My phone is currently stuck on "Phone is starting"
I also think it's time to look into some sort of automatic back up service..... Got any ideas?

I saw this happen when I used the official TWRP app.

I'm glad you already know not to use the MSM tool. Too many people jump straight to this.....
You just need to boot the correct recovery and your data will decrypt, and you will be able to back it up to a PC, then you can reload your ROM via TWRP or Fastboot to get the phone bootable again. So now it's a question of what ROM were you running before. Do you need a recovery with the latest security patch or something older? What TWRP are you running. Try 3.3.1-6 psychen6 linked too first. Boot that image from Fastboot. See if your password/pin will work to decrypt your data.

Missing emoji when returning to stock

I recently flashed my 6T to stock from EvolutionX and locked the bootloader, and somehow in the process, it seems my keyboard isn't able to display or type any emojis. The steps I followed are:
HTML:
1. fastboot reboot bootloader
2. fastboot boot twrp
3. flash latest OOS
4. reboot bootloader
5. fastboot boot twrp
6. flash OOS
7. boot system
8. reboot bootloader
9. fastboot oem lock
10. boot system and setup (sign in to google, etc)
Is there any step that I missed, or any way to recover this without rooting/unlocking again?

Reflash your ROM through stock recovery ..
You're missing the reserve partition cause you've flashed through twrp..
If you still dont have emoji
root your phone and flash this module

Local upgrade
You could also just run msmdownloadtool, it will reset the device to full stock. There is a version for 10.3.0, just run it and upgrade.

I thought I had to use stock recovery to flash this. Can I just fastboot boot twrp and flash it from there?

From the settings menu in the os right? I tried that and it kept asking me to move the upgrade file to the root of the internal storage, like it didn't see it or something

This is a T-Mobile device that has been converted to international fw. Would I use the international 10.3.0 msm file?

No luck using the latest official fw from OnePlus website. Is there anything else left to try?

Correct. Flashed using local upgrade from inside the os and still didn't fix it.
Edit: after uninstalling updates for Gboard they returned. Thanks everyone for all the replies!
