Nexus 6p not booting in recovery mode (bootloop unlocked )

Hi Everyone,
It's been 5 days am day n night trying to fix and keep of reading articles but still hard luck.Please answer my few questions which will clear my mind.
1. What cause bootloop basically in 6P ?
2.It can be repair through hardware ? if Yes then how ?
Scenario :
I followed this article https://www.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p-bootloop-fix/ and flashed N2G48B_4Cores.img which happened successfully but i didnt flashed twrp3.I thought it was optional and i will not experiment but after 13 hours. it again went to bootloop now i again run terminal and whole procedure but phone is not reacting at all just on logo with lock.When tried recovery it showed no command in videos but mine is just rebooting with bootloader unlocked warning and then google logo with lock.
I tried to install twrp through terminal using this article https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928
but phone reacting to commands.

Android version was 8

Please Help.I am looking forward for help.
Regards,
Danish

I noticed you mentioned trying other methods but not this method. Give it a try.

Never ask for ETAs. But to reiterate what I've already said, I'm busy and won't be able to get to it for several weeks.

Use any ROM build from before they switched to system-as-root and the existing BLOD zip will still work just fine. Common sense, people.

I unlocked my bootloader by flashing this file

Here you go: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Vf883MXGSYIFY-C6f1j8AC6AU-QI_rSH

I'll leave that up a couple months. Just a FYI, I just updated and wiped my 6P to prep for sale before you sent this. The case has some dings, no scratches on the front glass, a few scuffs on the back glass but doesn't affect pictures. It does need the battery replaced, it has the original battery. I haven't decided if I was gonna put it on Swappa or Ebay. Older phones on Swappa don't seem to sell.

Since my Nexus is not hardbricked I have to put it on 9008 mode by testpoint.

And the next steps are in this thread.

Unfortunately the patch no longer works for ROMs that are now system-as-root. For now you aren't going to be able to update. Go back to the last version prior to system-as-root was implemented.

Too much to ask for new users to read a page or two of posts? Hell if you read the last four or five posts you would seen the new builds have issues with it.

ok so i got a problem today my phone started to bootloop i want to wipe cache via cmd exe screen but says permission denied. I think its because of password. İ cant go in to twrp phone bootloops again. Any suggestions? phone is rooted on stock oreo. tried 4 core but didnt do anything.

I've bought a Nexus 6P, with locked bootloader and screen password. Took me three months to fix it, but I wish I've had today's brain. Tried heating and freezin, just a waste of time and burned my rear camera lens, now it's blurry. Just had to wait till battery drains out and the phone booted like it should. I've been installing the last OTA recovery all the time to waste my time, rebooting and suddenly it went to Andoid. But, you have only 10 or more/less minutes to fix the bootloader and USB debugging, in my case I've had to remove screen password and FRP, too (previous owner refused to pass me the details). From second try, I successed following youtube flicks from some guy from India. The magic is not to put it on charger when it boots in Android (overheating), try to unlock bootloader and enable USB debugging in those ten minutes. After that, followed the guide to install Pixel Experience version of Android 10, 8 or 4 cores, just try. It's still working, but rear camera is busted and the battery must not fall under the 30%, starts acting weird. This is a cool phone and I can get everything what I need from it, I'll get over the newest games and stuff.

The time has come! I've uploaded the new AnyKernel3-powered BLOD Workaround zip to the OP, and it should be working on both the system-as-root (SAR) and 2 stage init (2SI) ROMs that maintainers for these devices have switched to in order to support Android 10 (and in some cases have done so on Pie as well)! :victory:

My development work on my many projects comes out of my free time, so if you enjoy this project or anything else I've done on xda, please consider sponsoring my ongoing work using my GitHub Sponsors profile. For a one-time donation you can hit the donate link from my profile. Thank you for your support!

I'm going to leave the AK2 zip up for posterity, so note the new zip's naming: N5X-6P_BLOD_Workaround_Injector_Addon-AK3-signed.zip

A source repo for the updated zip is also available going forward: https://github.com/osm0sis/N5X-6P-BLOD-Workaround-Injector

Note that in my testing on my N5X FBE didn't seem to be supported on Android 10 for us so far (I had to format data instead and opted to stay unencrypted), so I've added a note about just using the old 4core FBE recovery to update to the latest official TWRP as well.

Sorry again for the wait, but I had to go get married and go on my honeymoon first.

Thank you so very much. Your hard work and efforts are really, really appreciated, not only on this but on all your projects. :good:

Hope your wedding was a beautiful one and your honeymoon romantic and relaxing. Congrats again

P.S. Your BLOD fix has kept my Angler going for around 15 months now (knock on wood). Not too shabby

UPDATE: Just flashed a Q rom and everything worked perfectly. (I did patch the modified 3.3.1-0 FBE TWRP that came with the rom with the workaround.zip and formatted /data before booting). No problems whatsoever. Great job and thanks again :good:
