[Q] Nexus Player is dead?

I just try to root my new nexus player and I don't know what happened there.
After success installation tried to install SuperSu and rebooted it. And device still loading I don't know why?
I did it in MAC OSX Yosemite
I have this screen already 4 hours
What should I do here

Not dead, it just bootloops (softbrick)
Get familiar with fastboot and bootloader mode
google or youtube on how to start the nex player in bootloader mode.
Download the latest image from Google here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#fugu
Untar and unzip the .img files. You should be able to flash the system via fastboot
Command is:
fastboot flash system "path/to/system.img"

I tried Chainfires root method and the same thing happened to me, I don't think he's updated root for 5.1.1 yet. Using ADB
Download the image from above and follow the commands in terminal. They all start with ./
fastboot flash bootloader <drag bootloader image from finder to here>
fastboot reboot-bootloader
sleep 5
fastboot -w update <drag image zip from finder here>

You can do this command without the -w flag and it'll leave your /data/ partition intact. That usually fixes things. Then you can boot chainfire's root image to get root back. But updating the binaries will get you stuck at the boot screen. I actually had to go through this myself when I flashed the 5.1.1 factory image.

Right after booting from the root image, i had a similar problem. I turned it off and turned it back on and it worked. Chances are you either flashed boot.img or system.img so i don't think you should have a problem reflashing if you still can't boot after restarting. Also you may need to wipe in recovery.

i am having same problem also please tell us how to fix this .

Not dead. Which guide did you follow?

I need help with twrp ASAP please

I flashed 3.3.1-2 twrp and then installed a couple different roms to compare. Then I'm not quite sure what happened, I know I formatted and tried to install another, then I lost access to twrp. Even though it says I'm successful at flashing it, it won't boot into twrp or any recovery for that matter. What should I do? I've tried two different twrp's and neither will boot up. I've tried the .bat and volume+ and power, and I even tried with the fastboot boot twrp.img command.

What do you see exactly when you try to enter recovery mode? Stock recovery? Or fastboot? Which recovery have you tried? (provide links)

Hello! Had the same problem and the procedure let me access recovery, yet everytime I reboot to system, the phone opens recovery instead.
I tried restoring a backup but rom is unstable and stuff keeps crashing. Any ideas?
EDIT: did a fastboot flash of .9 ROM and at got it back to work.

So I tried to go back to MIUI and it did it again, I did the default wipe and tried to install it. It got stuck in a bootloop and wouldn't go into TWRP again. Tried what you prescribed again, but that didn't work. I tried using the command (fastboot boot recovery.img) and it just shut off. It's clearly not flashing TWRP, but I have no idea why. I tried both 3.3.1-2 and 3.3.1-3, neither worked. I tried flashing more of the fastboot ROM images, but that did nothing either. Any suggestions? I'm having to use my old moto g5 until I get this fixed, so help ASAP would be amazing. Thanks in advance!

What MIUI version you have tried to go back?

URGENT!OnePlus6T No TWRP, SystemUI not Responding. Can't Boot to OS Stuck in FASTBOOT

I accidentally flashed a magisk_patched.img thinking that it is going to Install Magisk into my phone.
I entered the following command: fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img (Not specifying the boot slots)
Once I rebooted, it says system UI is not responding.
I went back to fastboot mode, and entered the following commands knowing it had worked previously before:
fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img
fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched.img
I tried switching boot slots, but both shows the same error once I am rebooted "System UI not responding".
I have no TWRP installed and I just want to start FRESH. I have the OOS 10.3.1 Zip file ready. I just do not know how to install it.
It also seems like my phone does not want to boot into recovery mode. It is currently stuck in fastboot. Both slots have this error.
Pleasee help me out!

Use MSMDownloadTool to reflash stock image. Follow directions of that. Can be found easily here on forums.
Alternatively, since fastboot is working you can try and use a fastboot version of OOS rom and flash without relocking bootloader.

I still don't understand why people are so eagerly desperately searching to use patch img method.... We have a working TWRP you just have to fastboot boot temporarily twrp and flash Magisk zip installer....
Anyway, why did you mess with slots? 90% of time it leads to soft brick. You don't need to specify slot when fastbooting an img, it's flashed automatically on active one.
In your situation, try to fastboot flash the ROM, there is a thread in Guide News section providing OOS in fastboot format.
Or use MSMdownload to put your phone in factory fresh state, there is a thread in same section about that it's called 'collection of unbrick tools'
And my thread in same section explains how to root 10.3.1

[ROM][STOCK][FASTBOOT][OP8] Stock Fastboot ROMs for OnePlus 8

Things are changing with the advent of project treble and seamless updates. OnePlus will no longer release ROMs flashable via recovery (either stock) because is no more needed. The updates will be done on the slot not used for example if you are using slot a the update will be installed on slot b and the slot b will be set as default. If you brick and you are in bootloop how you can restore the rom? You can't with Stock ROM you have, because the zip can be only installed via Update Engine, so what can you do? Flash a stock rom via fastboot. I have extracted all images from the stock zip and i have made a new zip with the Fastboot ROM with a flash-all.bat included. This will work only if your bootloader is unlocked. This will erase all your data and will wipe your internal storage.
HOW TO FLASH
This version is only for not branded devices
Download the zip;
Unpack the zip in a folder;
Reboot the OnePlus 8 in fastboot-bootloader mode (Power and volume + and volume-);
Connect the OnePlus 8 to PC;
Run flash-all.bat flasher you need;
Wait until the process end;
The phone will automatically reboot.

Branded devices is for example a Chinese version with HydrogenOS to which OxigenOS has been installed? If so, how can a branded device be recovered?
Thanks

Hi guys, i'm here again to ask for your support, actually with android 10 Google introduced a lot of changing, from dynamic partitions to the new keymaster 4 encryption/decryption. Teamwin is working hard to update TWRP but they will still take some time. Currently some things already work but there are difficulties in bringing them to the OnePlus 8/8 Pro, for example decryption already works but creates some problems on the OnePlus devices. That's why I decided to create a Paypal moneybox to be able to bring you the latest updates in the shortest time possible. As I have previously done, I assure you of a support of at least 2 years (within the limits of my possibilities). In addition to the TWRP I will improve the fastboot roms and add OnePlus 8/8 Pro to my TOOL ALL IN ONE (and maybe I will also bring the RevengeOS). By getting hold of a OnePlus 8 or 8 Pro I will also be able to improve the TWRP for OnePlus 7T and 7T Pro.

I think unbranded devices mean the device bought from T-Mobile or Verizon. Nothing to do with chinese versiion flash oxygenOS, if I'm not wrong.

Can't seem to get this to work. I'm trying to flash a stock rom for my OnePlus 8 after bricking it during a rooting process.
The device' bootloader is obviously unlocked and i can get the phone into Fastboot mode and connected to my PC.
The only issue is when i execute the flash-all.bat file, it can't seem to flash any of the files and gives an error consisting of the message "FAILED (remote: 'Flashing is not allowed for Critical Partitions').
What to do guys? Can anyone help me out.

Because it is placed in userdata and not in a dedicated partition

I have an issue trying to flash on fastboot. It's says I can't flash on critical partitions. Yes I know alot of people are saying that but what I haven't seen is this:
This is my problem:
Fastboot get device-info
(Bootloader) device unlocked:true
(Bootloader) device critical unlock: false
(Bootloader) charger screen enabled: true
I have already tried "fastboot flashing unlock_critical"
It says bootloader already unlocked. I then re lock bootloader which I know is not a good idea( reflash stock with msm tool) and it lock then I try unlock critical command again and it still says device critical unlock: false

Try again with 10.5.7. When it reboot to recovery, let it continue to run till it reboots on its own.

Unbrick from fastboot method
I hope I can help someone since I spent the whole night trying various methods to unbrick my Oneplus 8 and only this one worked for me JUST FOR INTERNATIONAL VERSION
You must have the drivers installed (Adb & Fastboot)
You must have your phone with the bootloader unlocked
1.- Download the file
2.-Unzip it
inside you will find Flash-all.bat
3.-Enter Fastboot mode
4.-Double click on the Flash-all.bat command
5.-It will direct you to the recovery, select the English language and restart in fastboot mode so that the process continues, wait for it to finish flashing everything and ready, the phone restarts on the latest version

2019 pro stuck in boot loop

Got this working with Lineage ok but decided to go back to stock. I downloaded the stock recovery rom from NV and set everything up. Inside the recovery bundle is a bat file. Usually I would flash all files manually but this time I used the bat file. It manged the first 3 or 4 commands then came up with error. The box is now stuck in a boot loop and I am unable to access over adb.
Can anyone please suggest a way around this.
Thanks
Here is the bat file
fastboot flash staging blob
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot flash dtb mdarcy.dtb.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot oem lock (optional step: required for certain functionality)
fastboot reboot
EDIT:
Eventually managed to flash lineage zip again. Used USB keyboard to access recovery

may i ask, what kind of keyboard did u use?
thanks in advance
