Fixed! I removed the "-w" flag at the end of the Factory image install. Not sure why it does not push it. Going to do some more testing.

This worked for me, at least the flashing of the factory image was successful. Still had a bootlooping Nexus 6P, though.

For those asking about the -w flag, you have to edit the flash-all.bat file with a text editor and just delete the -w towards the end. Save, rinse, repeat.

for the people asking how to remove the -W flag you need to edit the "flash-all" file. Right click > Edit ... or open with notepad then search and delete de -w from one of the commands! That's ALL!
