Do you have unlocked bootloader or TWRP? You can backup your data from here.

Can we install TWRP without loosing stock rom (rooted) and data ? If so can we have steps please to accomplish loss-less recovery change.
Yes u can install twrp without losing any data.
You just have to unclock the bootloader and the flash the recovery image.

if we unlock bootloader, the data automatically formats (Factory reset ) !!
So rooted phones get no loss install

No it does not automatically resets data.
Cool. Thanks
Hi, I keep seeing that some people brick their phones due to the changes in the process. Question, Due to some battery drainage I am getting, I am trying to do a phone reset.
I currently have TWRP installed and rooted the phone using the jccuando method. What is the best way to reset the phone to factory so I can re-root again and do what I need to do without bricking? Any advice would be much appreciated!

Definitely boot to twrp via hardware keys or a boot to recovery app.. Do not do it from the settings menu. It will put you into twrp bootloop until you boot from the hard keys anyway. Just remember to flash supersu after you factory reset before you boot or you'll have to boot back into twrp again and flash it.

Thank you so much. So I see I can get to twrp no problem. What to do inside twrp before I bootloop or do I need to reset factory before I get to twrp? Then what to do after I am in a bootloop ?

If you used the method I told you there should be no bootloop. Just got to the section wipe and slide the slider for a factory reset. Then afterwards press back and go to your external sd and flash supersu again then reboot it will reboot twice after you flash supersu so don't worry.

Thank you. I actuallt just got done. I did factory reset instead and booted up fine. I took your advice and flashed supersu after the factory reset and i am all good now. I wonder the difference between factory reset and the format data. I was a little scared to factory reset so it woud not erase the rom.

Format data erases all user data. Factory reset erases all but internal storage. So data format is more extensive.

Hi, did everything with no problem. I got another question and not sure if you have the answer. I was hoping to re-lock the bootloader again. Do you know of a way to do that and get the phone to boot up to the system? I am trying to avoid the bootloader reboot message after turning on the phone! Thank you for all your help!

Do not relock unless you're pure stock no twrp or modded boot img. The annoying message will always be there.

Sweet. I have been looking at the forum and everything says tarp has to be installed and running . I'll keep looking. Thank you sir .
Absolutely do not re-lock your bootloader unless you are 100% stock. If you brick the phone with a locked bootloader, you are screwed.
So I've installed TWRP properly I believe, when I try to flash supersu I get lots of errors on TWRP, what can I do? Also right now I'm in a bootloop please help
This is what I did, I did format data from TWRP so naturally I have no OS installed right now but I can't flash a ROM either since I keep getting Error 1 on TWRP. System partition will mount every now and then and then unmount
can you get screen shoot with other phone ? what is version of twrp you have now ? and phone locked or unlocked?
The problem is that I can't mount data

Dear all
My Nexus 6p was hard bricked yesterday and keep bootloop. I did flash twrp and a stock image by adb but the phone still could not turn on.
I try to use the hair dryer to heat my phone like this way (youtube.com/watch?v=fVghgGWoWa4) (sorry that I am a new user and I cant post the link)
And then my phone can be booted into the system but all of my data lost since I did flash the stock rom.
So may I ask that is there any way for me to recover back my data in this case? ( especially app data and my photo since there are some extremely important data for me......)
Thanks so much and appreciate for your help!!!

Hello,
How did you flash a stock ROM with ADB? adb sideload? Full OTA? Shouldn't have wiped internal storage.
Or you flashed a factory image from bootloader with flash-all script? Or fastboot flash?
If you used flash-all or you fastboot flashed userdata.img, i think your datas are lost.
Good luck...

Ys i did flash it from bootloader with flash-all script......:crying::crying::crying:
Now my data are all wiped out and the system is clean.
So is there any way to recover my data back? Because the data is really important for me:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

Hello,
You should likely have thought about it before flashing a factory image...
Maybe there are professional forensic tools that could work. But unfortunately i don't know their names or where to find them.
Good luck...

I flashed the image because i thought there is no any other way to boot my phone....
I have never thought that I can save it with a hair dryer I brought my phone to the mobile fixing shop and they did say the phone could not be fixed therefore i just flashed the image and try.
Thanks anyway
If there are any way to save the data, please let me know!!

Looks like fail to flash a ROM because forgot to unlocked bootloader or wipe data in recovery mode, while the ROM you flashed is a stock one, no a custom one. If you have unlocked bootloader, you can see a lock appear in the boot screen.
You can go to the recovery mode and try to fix your brick phone by wipe data and cache partition, maybe you can boot you phone successfully after doing these.
You data is not really gone, in fact, you can recover the data by using some tool.
See this guide about how to fix bricked Nexus 6P and recover data from the bricked phone after flashing a ROM.

Hey,
This tool seems designed for a phone that bootloop. Not a device which userdata partition has been wiped and overwritten afaik...
Cheers...
I know it's too late.
I normally edit the flash_all to *NOT* wipe the phone and only do an update.
You can have your photos if Google sync is on, but your App data is gone.
Yeah the flash-all script includes a -w wipe command. You could of removed it before flashing to keep data. But after that it's bye bye baby. The only way is probably some type of software forensics tool. But keep searching cause I don't everything and maybe you can tell the FBI there info on it about terrorist and they can brute force in. Then you got your pics back.
I'm rooted and have twrp installed, if I do a factory reset in System, Reset Options, Erase all data/Factory Reset. Will there be any issues with regards to a soft brick or will the phone boot back up to where it should as if it's a new phone?
I would highly recommend a Backup of persist and efs Partition.
If you have twrp installed you must factory reset in twrp. Doing it in settings will cause the phone not to boot, unless you flash stock recovery.
Remove any saved fingerprints and backup your persist partition before you factory reset. Otherwise your FP could potentially break and you'll have to RMA.

It's already broken. I was hoping a factory reset might fix it. But being rooted and having twrp installed hopefully will not screw up the phone if I do a factory reset?

Do you have twrp installed permanently or are you just fastbooting into it?
If you have stock recovery you can factory reset from the system like you said and you will go back to stock with no root (bootloader will still be unlocked though).
Does your fingerprint say "enrollment failed" or something similar? If so it's very unlikely you'll be able to fix it yourself without a persist partition backup unfortunately

Yes this is not fixable by a factory reset, the only way to fix ....
1)Flash your Persist.img backup (if you have one)
2)RMA your device for repair.
I have the same issue, was going to RMA but to lazy so just reverting to good ol'.swipe.
No no updates will fix the issue unfortunately.

Dont think that it will help..I have backed up my persit.img just in case..
I have a persist IMG backup.
But how and mostly WHEN I have to load it to avoid fingerprint enrollment problem?
I suppose this must be done after removing root and before relocking bootloader. But it's only a supposition.
Thanks in advance.

You only need to restore it if you get the failure which is not certain.
The basic thing is you have your back up which is great, lots of people don't.
Hi,
question regarding efs backup, are these the correct partitions (found them for the OPO7pro)?
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/sdf2 of=/modemst1.bin bs=2048
dd if=/dev/block/sdf3 of=/modemst2.bin bs=2048
Thanks
Just did a factory reset and that didn't work. Might be a stupid question, but can I restore the persist backup from someone else's phone?
