Your device software cannot be checked for corruption......

I am assuming your boot loader is unlocked.
Power it down. Then hold power and volume down to boot into recovery mode. Download the latest factory image. Then use the flashall bat file to flash it back.
Edit the flashall bat file to remove the -w so you save your data and apps and flash it.
Yes...bootloader is unlocked...I was trying to root/install TWRP....and ended up here...as long as I don't relock my bootloader...I didn't screw anything up....correct?
With the bootloader unlocked you can always get out of these bootloops but it a lot of times requires flashing a new factory image. I have gotten out of bootloops by going back into twrp and doing the factory reset but of course you lose all your data with that. It just depends on what sent you into the bootloop but they can all be fixed by flashing a new factory image. So far, I've never hard bricked a device but I've been in many bootloops!
PS: if you're on the May edition of the OS, then you need the verified boot signer to install twrp or root.

If you're on May, download the verified boot signer, go into bootloader mode, flash the twrp.img so you get to twrp again and reflash the twrp.zip along with the verified boot signer. If you're on June, then that's not the problem but if you have mismatched slots (a/b not the same) you can get into these problems as well.
Im flashing/fixing it with the latest one (June 2017)... guess I need to figure out how to root/custom recovery better.....its no like any of my other Nexus phones...lol
This one is definitely different than my nexus 6 was, the 2 slots, etc. But after you flash it with June, you don't need the boot signer. You've seen some guides about the temp twrp.img first from adb/fastboot, then the permanent twrp.zip next flashed from within the temporary twrp, SU 2.82 is what I install next from twrp. You can find the guides. Having the June factory image on both slots can avoid a lot of problems (at least it did for me).
I assumed flashing the stock image would have given me the stock recovery, so I wouldn't get that message anymore..
No, that "can't be checked for corruption" stuff is because you have an unlocked bootloader. It'll always say that when the bootloader is unlocked, just ignore that!
Oh.....what happened to the days of just having a little unlock icon and that's it....lol...
I'll try flashing twrp when I get home... Hope the guide works lol

You're always going to get that message as long as the bootloader is unlocked. I wouldn't worry about that message. My Nexus 6P always booted up with that exact message when the bootloader was unlocked even if I was otherwise running full stock. Google thinks unlocking your bootloader is by itself a serious enough security concern that you can no longer pass safety net on full stock with the bootloader unlocked.
When every boot will appear, does anyone know a trick to disable that notification? +1
Yes, i am forget lock the bootloader, then lock the bootloader my phone cache will be clear, anywhere thank youOnly one way.... Lock the bootloader :laugh::silly:
I've found that if you fastboot reboot bootloader, then fastboot boot twrp.img.
Then flash twrp installer zip in twrp and then boot into system, I should work. Then you can download Magisk zip into phone and flash it in twrp. You will have root as super su doesn't work anymore. I'm on a Pixel XL with January 8.1 update. Good luck
Hola: a mi me paso lo mismo pero quiero rootearlo , alguien tiene un tutorial para seguir con el procedimiento , porque el cartel dice que solamente esta desbloquedo y no rootedo no ?

Hi, I happen to the same thing but I want to root it, someone has a tutorial to continue with the procedure, because the sign says that it is only unlocked and not rooted, no?

The message is because the bootloader is unlocked, not because it is rooted. Fastboot boot or flash twrp and flash magisk if you want it rooted
