supersu - maybe these make bootloop? - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
i saw something interest and maybe you can confirm these, i just upgrade my 6P - upgrade=install from scratch full image from dev site.
and just after instalation i install the supersu zip (originally from site)-after i have the TWRP, i got bootloop.
than i just run the flash all .bat, and like a magic everything is worked, so i tried to install again the zip of super SU and ...bootloop.
it's just leave me the option of install from the app store, is the way of instalation make something?
thanks

I think your bootloop situation is more software-driven. Most of the people that talk about boot loops with the Nexus 6p have a hardware issue like I do.

if so, how you can explain that without that the device worked perfect?
also, how you upgrade each time?

Well keep in mind at the moment I am not rooted. As for updates when I used to be rooted I would flash the stock images for the system recovery bootloader and vendor partitions first. After that was done route would be erased and I could take the OTA update. I should also mention that I have not updated to Oreo. Given the hardware difficulties with my phone I've chosen to stay at 7.1.2

so...i'm in 8.1 and these is the conclusion in that state after few tests.

I would tend to agree with you either you have a version that is not compatible with 8.1 or perhaps you just downloaded a corrupted zip file. I can't speak for root on 8.1 because I don't have that version but I think you've done enough testing to prove your theory that it's the zip that cause your boot loop

What SuperSU version did you use?
What version TWRP?
I have been on 8.1 Stock with SuperSU and I did not get bootloops whatsoever.

Use Magisk it's latest greatest. Just install the Magisk app from apkmirror and it will prompt to download flaahable zip. As far as TWRP 3.2.1-0 I believe is latest.

What are you trying to say? The bootloop you are talking about is different from hardware bootloop of death in nexus 6p.
Supersu works fine for everyone,if its bootlooping for you thn you are doing something wrong or flashing wrong supersu zip.
The most of the reported bootloop of death users are not rooted.

the twrp is 3.2.1 and i used now the Magisk and it works.
the way i used is :
fastboot format userdata
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash recovery <filename>.img
fastboot flash system system.img
Fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
ofcurse with the right names of files..

To my knowledge you need to decrypt phone then flash N and before boot flash decrypt boot img then boot twrp then flash super su 2.71. To be decrypted rooted N.
Now to begin that process you need a decrypted phone which is why i am waiting for m decrypt boot begore i proceed.
Tigerstown can correct me if i am wrong.

Yes, you can use this method to decrypt your 5X.
To begin, make sure that you have backed up everything on your internal storage, since everything will be removed. It will basically be like a fresh start.
Boot your 5X into bootloader mode and connect it to the PC.
Flash the modified boot.img (The one you have downloaded from above):
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
After that is done, decrypt your 5X:
Code:
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache

Awesome Im running android m with force encryption removed (fed patcher).
I want to upgrade it to N without loosing data : I think I have to flash THIS boot, recovery, Bootloader, vendor, cache, and system image files. I'm not flashing Userdata instead.
Is it right for having android N devrypted?

Yes, perfectly alright. Avoid the recovery image, in case you have TWRP installed.

that is How I do it on my 6P. After flashing I boot to twrp and do factory reset myself. You don't need to flash the N recovery.

Yes it is possible. Just download the complete N factory image, plus the modified boot image (kernel).
Extract the system.img, and vendor.img out of the factory image.
And now, flash the three files using TWRP - system.img (system image), vendor.img (vendor image), and boot.img (kernel).

No, you won't loose any data. Your userdata/data partition will stay as is. You will just wipe the system and boot through TWRP, and then flash the listed image files.

flashfire is a great app, does it all for you...
I simply downloaded OTA through the system update, then after it was downloaded instead of allowing it to "Restart and Install" which would have failed due to my custom recovery, I just opened flashfire. It found the OTA automatically and I hit Flash button. Done!
I ended up loading up from the PC. It's better this way because I only had 2gb of space on my 64gb!!! Bad thing is, I have spent about 2hrs installing!

So I can use flashfire to flash the latest N beta even though I'm currently running a custom ROM?

Foes your custom recovery still work? I tried this method and it just wouldn't boot into TWRP. Been trying all day thru different methods. Idk how to use adb fastboot on a computer so I'm a lil lost when trying any other method. I've been using Wug's toolkit but until he pushes an update for it I'm on stock MM until i can figure something out.

why does the wug toolkit not work?
I don't know a lot about Flashfire as far as it's compatibility with Custom Roms and such. I was previously on stock android Marshmellow with root and twrp. My phone downloaded the OTA for Android N when I "enrolled" in the beta program. I chose not to allow the phone to attempt to install the OTA as it would likely fail due to my custom recovery, to my surprise when I opened flashfire it offered to install the "update.zip" (AKA the OTA) and I simply hit "flash". It installed the OTA (did not use TWRP) and rooted my phone all on it's own, I did not lose anything no data was lost.
As a side not I would not recommend using Flashfire if you don't know how to use fastboot commands and the Android SDK. It is not complicated and it is a almost certain way to fix your phone when things go haywire. I strongly encourage you to learn how to use it as it is essential to owning a Nexus imo. These root kits and flashfire programs are cool, but they are always subject to failures...

Bricked, bootloop tried all I can think of

I was on the last beta n4f26t, and flash TWRP successfully, then went to flash superSU from twrp, this when wrong and everything goes downhill from here. I tried flashing back the last update, in it's entirety following the Heisenberg guide for returning to stock didn't work, tried flashing twrp again still can't get into recovery (just boot loops) I tried a previous update NMF26F and got to the dead android recovery screen but when I tried to flash back the OTA nothing happened and went back to bootloop on reboot. I've used the nexus root kit and still nothing. What can I do to fix this? I've honestly looked up every resource I could think of before posting this here. really hoping I didn't perma brick my 6P

I would concentrate on trying to get a working recovery first. Almost everyone who lost recovery mode never got their phone back- classic BLOD. First try fastboot FORMATTING recovery and then both fastboot flash twrp, and then fastboot boot twrp. If you can get a working recovery there may be hope. If you can never boot to recovery mode, I think you are done. From your bootloader screen, what is your bl version?

BL: angler-03.6.7

I see all normal BL options and I flashed it with the nexus root kit and used https://developer.android.com/preview/download-712.html this image
I know with older versions of TWRP there was a problem with the EFS partition that contains the IMEI info. What version of twrp are you using??? I thought I bricked my Nexus 6p after restoring a backup but it was actually just me screwing up my EFS partition. The newer versions of twrp (i think 3.0.3 and up) fixed this problem. Still though, if it is that, and you flash a new twrp version it won't fix your problem. If you have the time search through the forum for the EFS partition fix. I don't know the commands off the top of my head but I know this helped a lot of people. Worth a shot.

OK, but when you try to boot to recovery, it bootloops? Never goes to recovery? Try the steps above to successfully flash the recovery partition using fastboot. I suppose you can use NRT, but download the latest version of TWRP and try both flashing and booting the twrp.img.
same boat
anxious to hear results: I can't get to recovery and am bootlooping - tried a bunch of things using Nexus Root Toolkit . Curiously enough earlier when I was trying to flash an older version or ressurection remix, even my TWRP would bootloop so I couldn't flash anything without it quitting - anyone ever hear of that happening?

Can't get Resurrection Remix to install

So i wanted to try RR, but can't get it too install for some reason. I've been able to flash LineageOS, but every time I try RR I get an error message in TWRP.
Wondering what steps anyone with success has used. I followed the same steps as if I were installing LineageOS.
Thanks~
When I installed RR on my LG G2 a long time ago, it let me reduce the haptic vibration. Wonder if it would do this on the PH-1 too.

Reboot into TWRP
adb shell twrp sideload (this starts sideload in TWRP)
adb sideload lineage-14.1-20171130_060947-UNOFFICIAL-mata.zip (this flashes the latest RR)
adb sideload magisk_14.3_invisiblekhax.zip (this is magisk that is tweaked properly)
Then reboot. Do no reflash TWRP as you have no reason to, and it breaks stuff.
This will work everytime, I've jumped from RR to Lineage to XenonHD without any issues at all.

Just flashed Magisk 14.3 and can confirm Wifi is broken, won't turn on.
Is there a trick to get it working or is it not on RR?

You have to flash the ROM again and magisk the one invisiblek provided. WiFi gets broken because you flashed twrp.

I reflashed everything from scratch and it's all good now!!
Does work great but one problem is that i can't use TWRP for backups.

Here is what you do.
From your ADB folder
Reboot to bootloader (adb reboot bootloader)
fastboot -w (completely wipes the device)
fastboot flash boot twrp.img (flashes TWRP, I renamed mata7 to twrp to make it easier)
Reboot into TWRP
adb shell twrp sideload (this starts sideload in TWRP)
adb sideload lineage-14.1-20171130_060947-UNOFFICIAL-mata.zip (this flashes the latest RR)
adb sideload magisk_14.3_invisiblekhax.zip (this is magisk that is tweaked properly)

There's gotta be a way to do it w/o having to wipe internal storage! I have 100gb of stuff I don't want to erase and then move back all the time.

Just wipe with TWRP. U don't need to do the adb -w.

Do you mean I don't have to do the fastboot -w?

Yes. The steps that Turbojugend posted are just one way of doing it. You can also just download the ROM to ur phone, then wipe, and flash it in TWRP. The only adb step u need is to flash TWRP, if u haven't done that already. If u want root, just make sure u flash Invisiblek's hacked Magisk version, which saves u from having to flash Magisk to the other partition, and keeps the boot.img intact.

So all this can be done from slot A?

Question :: Why doesn't TWRP stick?

Hi there XDA, I've recently been having issues with custom roms and random reboots, so I decided to go back to stock. Going back to stock I used fastboot to flash the system and boot images. After some setup I wanted to get root. Instead of there being twrp I ended up with the stock recovery somehow. TWRP 3.1.1 seemed to stick, then I decided to upgrade to the most recent version. And it no longer sticks(TWRP recovery).
I just don't know what to do or what the cause for this to happen may be. My only thought is that I'll have to fastboot flash recovery every time I want to modify something.
Any way you guys would be willing to shed some light on what's going on for me???

probably since you are not rooted
@dirtyreturn What was said above go grab the latest magisk.zip and have ready in your storage. Then after flashing twrp head into and flash the zip. Should stick from then on I haven't had any issues.

I don't doubt you, this hasn't happened to me before since owning the device. It just started, like, May 1/2 after flashing stock 8.1 system and boot images.

So your flashing twrp after first boot, rooting and still won't stick?

Like, for two years I've had twrp on this device without any issue. Just all of a sudden after I fastboot flashed system and boot of 8.1 it just does not want to stay put.

Who knows maybe google changed something. Do it my way and you will be fine.

When you flash system and boot images, root is removed. On Oreo, TWRP does not persist without root being maintained. I believe on Nougat or Marshmallow, this was not the case. When you booted into the stock rom, this restored the stock recovery.
Flash TWRP then boot directly into TWRP and flash Magisk. When installing new security patches, boot directly into TWRP and reinstall root.
