The whole system flash process takes a few minutes, you should definitely get process updates after what you were seeing though.Few mins, don't think it was for full 5 min. How long should it take?

That's normal for stock recovery. Do you want TWRP? Just flash it again.Yep, I'll try again and let it sit and see what happens. Thanks

Haha yeah that's what happened to me yesterday, got it all figured out now.I have a problem, I followed the tutorial to unlock the bootloader and it went fine, now I'm trying to flash recovery so I dl'ed TWRP, flashed it, rebooted into fastboot again, selected recovery mode and.. it's stuck on "Google" with unlocked padlock below (I left it alone for 40 minutes). If I force a reboot it works but recovery is back to stock. Help?

ok nvm I figured it out, turns out you have to let the phone boot and go into bootloader with adb reboot bootloader instead of manually power + vol down... Weird.
Note: You should never flash the userdata image. It doesn't take into consideration the storage capacity of the device and always allocates 32gb of storage. This is ok for the 32gb model, but for the 64gb and 128gb models you'll end up with much less storage capacity than you should have..
The answer seems to be in one of the quotes you posted...I want go back to stock. I downloaded images from google. They gave me Flash-all.bat. So I shouldn't rut this flash-all.bat ? Will my 64gb goes to 32 gb if I run this ? or I should run every single command as mentiond at OP ?
Personally, I keep a copy of the EFS backup on my phone, one on my PC, and one on the cloud. A corrupt EFS partition is nowhere near as likely on this device as it is on some others but better to be safe than sorry.Your guide is great, it just takes the reader time to read it , im wondering something though , ive been doing this a long time , but have never backed up EFS before, should you leave that backup on the phone or put it in the cloud or both , ive never bricked a device beyond never never land ? I will always back that up from now on , thanks!

How do you do this? I'm having same issue. So, do I boot into fastboot mode using power and volume down and then use adb reboot bootloader? When I try this, it says "error: no devices/emulators found."
Once you unlocked bootloader let your phone start completely, connect USB cable and use command prompt:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
then immediately use your volume down and power keys to go into recovery, no need to reboot. That's it.
Yes reboot into Android. Do you have adb drivers installed? You should see your device by typing adb devices. I don't remember now but maybe you have to put your device into file transfer mode (from the notification, default is charging only mode) and obviously usb debug has to be enabled.Restart as in regular operating mode? I let it fully start and use adb reboot bootloader then get "error: no devices/emulators found."

What version of TWRP did you install? There's a whole section of this guide that instructs how to flash a custom ROM.I just got my new 6P and I was able to follow the steps and I successfully got twrp installed but after getting into twrp it prompts me a password to decrypt the data partition......also I was prompted a pin to boot my device( but I performed a factory reset and booted into the stock rom .........I wanted to know the drill from now to successfully install a custom ROM.
I followed the guide properly and flashed the ROM without a hiccup .....What version of TWRP did you install? There's a whole section of this guide that instructs how to flash a custom ROM.
