If you can get into bootloader mode then maybe try fastest flashing things like stock recovery. If you manage to get stock recovery then boot into it and adb sideload a stock OTA from Google Developer website. Other than that I'm not too sure, you might need to contact Google/Huawei if that or anything else doesn't work.
---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 PM ----------
Okay, in bootloader mode try flashing the stock bootloader image from their OTA by typing fastboot flash bootloader (drag bootloader image here) then type fastboot reboot-bootloader. After that type fastboot flash radio (drag radio image here). Then type fastboot reboot-bootloader again. After that you can try booting up. If you are somehow able to get into recovery mode whether you can boot up normally or not then you can simply adb sideloading the stock OTA. If nothing I have said gets you into recovery or to boot up the device then you are probably screwed to be honest. Good luck
Hi,
thanks for your reply,
let me make sure, that i understood you clearly,
when i boot into bootloader, and select the recovery mode,
it get rebooted, shows Google “in white” then restart again, and again in same loop exactly as if i booted normally, not into the bootloader
as i read in other posts, i should expect the device to show me a confirmation message, or something similar,
but in my case, nothing at all, restart, and keep restarting
The options i have with bootloader are
1- Start
2- Reboot bootloader
3- Recovery mode
4- Power off
5- Barcodes

In bootloader mode, not recovery try flashing the bootloader and radio like I said.
Hi... RMA your phone... Contact google or Huawei depending where you bought your N6P.
Check this link. A lot of people seem to be in the same situation at the moment:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/help/boot-loop-death-nexus-6p-t3533528
You're in the same boat as a few of us.
Phone is stuck in a bootloop, won't go to recovery. Only boots to fastboot, but your bootloader is locked so you cannot boot/flash any zips, even official ones. That means no recovery access, which means no adb commands. ADB commands *might* be useful to reboot into EDL mode for QFIL flashing, or for wiping partitions. Problem is - if that bootloader wasn't unlocked, it's not going to be. You need to check "Allow OEM unlocking" in settings BEFORE the phone dies, otherwise you will not be able to unlock the bootloader and thereby reflash the phone.
In a perfect world - we could use EDL mode (or something) to use QFIL/MiFlash to completely rewrite the partitions and MAYBE bring the phone back to life, but the stock bootloader does not allow access to EDL. (tried the custom fastboot.exe meant to send the reboot-edl command, didn't work). If someone can figure out the JTAG pins, we might be able to move forward by purposely bricking it to QHUSB_BULK mode.
The thing is - we don't know why the phones started bootlooping in the first place. For some people, a simple cache wipe/factory reset fixes the loop and away they go. HOWEVER, those of us stuck in fastboot mode with a locked bootloader have no way to erase/wipe/format/write partitions, and even if we could, there's no guarantee it was a software issue that caused the loop in the first place.
TL/DR - You have a locked bootloader and cannot access recovery mode, this means you won't be able to flash/wipe/format partitions or images. Best bet is to contact Huawei/Google, but you'll need the original receipt. If that's not an option for you, you're gonna have to wait until the XDA geniuses out there grant us some answers.
Here's a related thread with some deep info:

I'm stuck with a black screen and QFIL and XiaoMiFlash won't work. My bootloader is unlocked but I can't get to fastboot. Screen is always black but Quallcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 appears in device manager. No red light or vibration when connecting the phone.

Have you read this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/howtos-debrick-nexus-6p-stuck-edl-9008-t3552838
Maybe try asking here, explaining the things you tried.
I installed Android O DP2 update via OTA yesterday. The phone updated, rebooted to the new build and restarted abruptly and since then has been stuck in a boot loop. The Google logo shows up, goes to the android animation step and then Google logo appears again.
I don't have bootloader unlocked, don't have TWRP and have done OTA updates. I am able to get into the stock recovery mode.
How do I fix this, i.e. make it work in any way without erasing the user data? I don't mind extreme steps (without erasing user data) because I was planning to reflash 7 with unlocking & rooting today.
Try to wipe cache from recovery - in recovery hold volume-down and select "Wipe cache partition". Should do the trick
I tried, didn't work. Had to factory reset in the end. Also opted out of beta
I just read that some people that took the update from certain builds had boot loops due to the update only replacing part of the OS but leaving the 7.x.x system in place causing it to boot loop. I think it was like on android authority or something like that.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I have similar problem. Phone became stuck at Google logo and bootloop. I didn't have OEM unlock and debugged enable when phone was working. Now I'm stuck because It cannot flash with any factory image rom. Anyone with solution, please help. Thanks

You can unlock your bootloader to flash a stock ROM. Do you need the steps?

To flash a system image:
Download the latest system image for your Nexus 6p, then unzip it to a safe directory.
https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/angler-n2g47o-factory-dc258043.zip
or Download any of your choice from here
https://developers.google.com/android/images
Connect your device to your computer over USB.
Start the device in fastboot mode with one of the following methods:
adb tool
http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html
Using a key combo: Turn the device off, then turn it on and immediately hold down the relevant key combination for your device.
POWER BUTTON + VOLUME DOWN BUTTON
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If necessary, unlock the device's bootloader using one of the following methods:
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
If you are updating an older device, run this command:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
The target device will show you a confirmation screen. (This erases all data on the target device.)
Open a terminal and navigate to the unzipped system image directory or Open a command prompt from within your System image folder (navigate to where you have flash-all.bat located on your PC, shift + right click anywhere within that folder, select open command prompt here
Execute the flash-all script.
Code:
fastboot flash-all.bat
This script installs the necessary bootloader, baseband firmware(s), and operating system.
Once the script finishes, your device reboots. You should now lock the bootloader for security:
Start the device in fastboot mode again, as described above.
Execute:
Code:
fastboot flashing lock
or, for older devices, run:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Locking bootloader will wipe the data on some devices. After locking the bootloader, if you want to flash the device again, you must run fastboot oem unlock again, which will wipe the data.

Thanks for your reply..But you can only do this only if you have an unlocked bootloader and debugged mode on. I didn't have either so it won't allow to flash with locked bootloader.

Exactly why i posted that. You can unlock your bootloader without turning USB debugging ON. Just Boot up with the POWER + VOLUME down Combination and use the bootloader unlock command in my previous post.
FAILED (remote: OEM unlock is not allowed)

Yes, I got the same error. Again, it's because of bootloader locked and debug is off. Any other ways to unlock or flash this phone?

To unlock you first need to have ticked the allow OEM unlock from developer menu within the OS. It won't work otherwise.

Dear Mavelos,
I already tried that and the installation was successful, but my first problem still there, when I installed the Android O Beta, the touch of my screen stop working after the 2nd day of installation.
Now I don't know if this is a problem with Android O or just a coincidence and the hardware its broken.
I went to a lot of forums but nobody its talking about that (Touch Screen not working)
Did You guys hear anything about it?

I have the same problem as others, stuck in a bootloop and had not enabled unlock in dev options. I can get to bootloader but not recovery mode (bootloops when I select this). I would love to try this OTA side load, but I can't see my device in adb. I can see it however in fastboot. Not sure how to get it up in adb....
Any help would be much appreciated.

If you get a bootloop when selecting recovery, try rebooting to recovery with fastboot
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
if that doesn't work, then i think your device is bricked.

If your touch screen isn't working, it might be related to the Android O Beta you flashed. Can you boot the phone up? If you have an OTG cable, connect a mouse to your phone. Turn on OEM unlocking in developer options. Do a factory reset.
i have the same problem with this, and i cannot unlock it too, is there anyway to unlock this phone?
OTG works Perfect! But.....

So I Follow your suggestion and I bought the OTG adapter, works perfectly I unlocked the bootloader from the developers options, did a factory restore with a previous image, etc.... Touch still not working, I'm starting to believe this a hardware problem with the screen.... Bad Luck maybe, I don't know! ..... I will have to buy that expensive screen ($140).
Anyway thanks for the help...

last night i my phone inside my freezer hehehe and this morning i tried to turn it on, and it pass the google logo boot normally but it only lasted for a few minute and then turn off and bootloop again. so i guess my 6p has a hardware faulty
I decided to update my old oneplus 2 to lineageos 15.1 with, but when I tried to flash the file with TWRP, it shows an error. Since the TWRP version I was using was old, I decided to update it first. Keep in mind at this point i had completely wiped my device. So, I downloaded the "twrp-3.2.1-0-kenzo.img" file, as per a youtube video where the dude managed to flash the update successfully, and gave it a go. It showed up as successful. Then i shut the whole device off, and tried to boot back in to recovery to flash the ROM again, but the thing won't boot. It's stuck on this boot screen (with the oneplus logo and 'powered by android' at the bottom), and refuses to go further. I'm stuck in a situation with the phone having no OS, no recovery and the thing won't show up when I connect it to the pc either. Well, the pc makes the 'device connected' notification sound when I plug it in, but nothing shows up on the file explorer or the device manager.
That's my dilemma, please i need help!
Thanks in advance.

You downloaded the KENZO (this is not oneplus2! ) TWRP and flashed it on another phone (oneplus2), just normal that it doesn't work and your phone is messed up.
If you can enter fastboot (vol up and power button to boot) you can rescue your phone:
-enter fastboot (vol up + power, while phone is completely off, u can also hold it until you can see "fastboot" written on the screen)
-connect device to a computer with fastboot installed
-type "fastboot oem unlock" into a terminal/cmd window if there is no error, you are good to go, otherwise your bootloader relocked, use this thread to recover
-if your bootloader is still unlocked, download the ONEPLUS2 TWRP IMG, ALWAYS make sure to only flash the roms, kernels, recoveries or zips for YOUR phone otherwise you can really DESTROY your phone!
-now type into terminal/cmd: "fastboot flash recovery *drag the oneplus2 twrp image into terminal/cmd window* and hit enter
-use vol down + power to reboot phone into recovery and wipe all partitions
-Install a ONEPLUS2 ROM of your choice
If something is not clear, use google, because this is most likely basic stuff you have to know when flashing your phone
I can in fact go to fastboot mode by holding the power+volume up keys. When I the phone to my pc it does show a fastboot device (9597b869 fastboot). What do i do from here?

i tried to follow the guide. but the bootloader, as per you description is relocked. the download link for the driver you provided shows up as empty/no longer available. that's where i'm getting stuck.
P.S, i can enter fastboot mode on the phone via power+volume up.
thanks for the help so far, i can't seem to find much help other than from you so far

P.S, i can enter fastboot mode on the phone via power+volume up.
thanks for the help so far, i can't seem to find much help other than from you so far

so i managed to get into qualcomm mode, updated the drivers, and ran "MSM8994DownloadTool.exe" in administrator mode. it went as it's outlined in your guide. however, at the end of that process, the phone got stuck in a bootloop (the oneplus logo flashes for a moment and restarts). and can't get into qualcomm mode now, since when i connect the usb to the pc while the phone off, it lights the display (to show that it's charging, i think). any way back from this?
(i can still get into fastboot mode)

Do you still have TWRP? If yes go to TWRP and shut down the phone there, afterwards you should be able to enter qualcomm mode again.
otherwise you have to try (i think 10s power button will shut the device completely down). You should be able to enter qualcomm mode if the device is fully shut off (your scenario sounds as if the device is not fully shut off when u connect it to the pc).
Just to go sure: You are absolutely sure to have a oneplus2, are you?

Hi, i'm trying to root my Xiaomi Mi A1 after updating it by OTA and I always get a bootloop on the android one screen.
I explain a little what I did, I had xposed and root on 8.1 with magisk, uninstalled them correctly, and then update to android 9.
Now, with the version 10.0.5.0.PDHMIXM of february, I tried to patch the boot.img from Magisk and then load it both from fastboot, as well as load trough the recovery of twrp, but the same result always happens, when reboot it stays in bootloop and I have I put back the stock boot.img unouching.
Also, in the status of the safety net looked at magisk I get ctsProfile: false, I do not know if it will have something to do
Can someone please help me root the phone?
Need some help, please
Hello.
Let's go.
If it's bootlooped do the next:
1. Download official latest ROM from this Mi site https://en.miui.com/download-333.html by clicking on green tab. After downloading finished, must twice extraxt it till have some yellow folder.
Download and install MFT from this link http://api.bbs.miui.com/url/MiFlash
2. Press&Hold Vol- button till phone goes to bootloader FASTBOOT mode
3. In opened "cmd/adb" on Your PC type "fastboot devices" to verify your phone
4. Check for bootloader is unlocked with "fastboot oem unlock". If it's unlocked You'll get a message "Your b/l is allredy unlocked", if not, Your phone will reboot and must quickly press&hold Vol- button to boot again in to FASTBOOT mode
5. When phone is connected in f/b mode type "fastboot oem edl" and wait Your phone reboot to EDL mode (black screen on display wit LED rapidly blinking)
6. Start Mi Flash Tool and do Refresh button to connect with the phone, click "select" button to navigate to the ROM folder from point 1. and check "save user data" on the bottom right (or check "clean all", as You wish)
7. After all, click "flash" button and be patient for a couple of a minutes when phone flashing. After a good yob you'll get a green colored message "success" to the right side of a MFT window.
8. That's it. Long press Power button on phone and wait till vibrate. Release it and boot to system. Let it update to February update and then do the steps from post "[GUIDE] Rooting Mi A1 without TWRP"
Enjoy!
P.S. Your BootLoader remains unlocked with options selected from point 6. but apps and system will be wiped out! Selecting on own risk!

Did adb or fastboot commands recognise Your phone?
I am thinking Your phone isn't recognised by system/phone drivers damaged!

What's that EDL mode & why it's necesary to go into that EDL mode before flashing STOCK ROM? I've done flashing stock rom in MiA1 Oreo but never heard of that step (entering EDL mode) so asking. Is that something new that needs to be done nw for & from Pie update? Someone kindly explain

My friend, do this to repair Bata cellphone, ... 1. enter fastboot mode and unlock oem and do twrp.img boot 2. after you enter twrp, install TWRP installer and install ROM via twrp (android version 5 rom 9, the official version is 4 which can be flashed via miflash tools). Then reboot the system and enjoy ... if you want to root do install magisk via twrp recovery ... give your answer after trying this. Very happy to help later.

This particular model is a LGMS550. It is currently on stock firmware at Android 7.0, and it is just not making it's way to TWRP.
I've tried the method where you do the factory reset prompt that supposedly takes you to TWRP, however this only brought it to the screen that read "Erasing" and rebooted like normal.
I made extra sure the bootloader was unlocked.
Trying "fastboot boot (twrpfilename).img" only gave me "FAILED (remote: unknown command)" from the command prompt.
I tried 2 different versions of TWRP. The 64-bit version linked here, along with the official version (3.3.1 currently).
Using "adb reboot recovery" with USB debugging brings me to the "no command" screen that I've seen talked about all over the forums with no good answers. Even looked around on other forums to no avail.
Also tried the awful answer I read that just said "keep trying the factory reset method until it works". Did it 5 times to no success.
What a strangely common issue that has no solution. Does anybody have anything or am I SOL for no apparent reason?
EDIT: Got a quick, fast answer from the lovely person from this post.
No idea the circumstances of what caused this, but hope this will prevent some headaches for you all in the future. Also just to future-proof in case of the post being deleted or something:
1. Go back into fastboot (easy way is just to hold volume down while powering on with the USB plugged in)
2. Re-lock the bootloader with "fastboot oem lock" and unlock it again with "fastboot oem unlock".
3. Erase the recovery partition with "fastboot erase recovery" and then flash TWRP with "fastboot flash (file).img"
4. Reboot and do the hard reset method (reboot while holding power+volume down, let go and press back down instantly when the LG logo shows up, and factory reset by pressing Yes on the prompt twice)
5. Hopefully you're in TWRP by now.
No idea why this works, but it's the only thing that ended up working. Hope it works for you.
