Hello,
I have got a bit tired of waiting for the OTA volume fix and decided to tr and apply it manually.
I made a mistake and used the following command fastboot flash boot cwm.img.
now my nexus just boots into cwm is there any way I can fix this?
Now when I try to use fastboot it just keep saying (waiting for device), and the phone sits in CWM
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

You can try these. Factory images. Someone posted about them and I bookmarket them, and downloaded a copy just incase.

Excellent we have someone to test the script
You could just try flash the boot.img to the boot partition
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
And if that works
Code:
fastboot flash boot.img
Hi,
I took the battery out for a few minutes and when I put it back in I booted it into fastboot, which it wouldnt do earlier (kept booting cwm).
I then used the instructions supplied in the google factory image download mentioned above.
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekj10.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxkk1.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-yakju-itl41d.zip
And all is now well.
lesson learned dont flash while drinking red wine.
Thanks again

After initially trying the Android Revolution HD rom after rooting few days ago, I realized I wanted to go back to stock. I downloaded "https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/mysid-icl53f-factory-65895fa8.tgz" off of http://groups.google.com/group/android-building/msg/2cd2b16ed56a7e84 for my Verizon LTE GN variant...
I extracted "image-mysid-icl53f.zip" and flashed it the usually way with CWM, ended up going into a boot loop. Luckily I had a Nandroid backup of my phone just after rooting so I was able to use that to restore back to stock...
Was there any reason that "image-mysid-icl53f.zip" didn't work? I read another unrelated (if I remember correctly) post on here about flashing the image with a modified script from Google, do I need to use the flash-all.sh or something when flashing this zip? Do I need the other files (bootloader-toro..., radio-cdma..., and radio-toro...)? Or did I just get unlucky and a reflash probably would have fixed it?
Thanks
You don't flash the zip with cwm. You need to do fastboot -w update blah.,ip command with it.
Search for the "convert yawuwhatever to yawublah" thread for the directions

Resetting the phone by taking out the battery shouldn't be a problem if you havent started flashing the new rom. I would try again after confirming that the fastboot and usb drivers can see the device before proceeding any further.
You can use fastboot devices to list attached devices. Only progress further once you can see your phone using the above command.
I did the same today a few hours ago and in my case, I started the phone in bootloader mode via Volume up + down + power button or via adb reboot bootloader. Then with fastboot, issue the fastboot oem unlock command to unlock the bootloader first. Once done, then you can flash the stock image (bootloader, radio and rom) with the following commands.
fastboot flash bootloader <bootloader image>
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio <radio image>
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update <rom image>
Don't forget to lock the bootloader once done using fastboot oem lock
Just to clarify, depending on the version of the OS on your client PC/Mac/Linux, there are variants of fastboot. I use fastboot-mac from my mac.

You should try to flash the stock images manually in fastboot if you haven't done so already. I'm not a fan of Toolkits.
Download the stock files: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#yakju
You must extract the .tgz file first and then extract the .tar file inside.
Navigate the folder until you see the radio bootloader and factory image.
Put those three files in the folder on your computer where you have fastboot.exe
Boot into the bootloader.
Type fastboot devices - to make sure your phone is connected.
Then these commands.
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primela03.img
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxla02.img
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot -w update image-yakju-imm76i.zip
Hopefully it will boot
Still nothing

I tried it and it didn't work. I also noticed that on the bottom of the gnex it says "fastboot command read error -2147483647" any ideas? I am officially clueless. I am offering 20 dollars to anyone who can fix this
i have found ABSOLUTELY NOTHING regarding this "FASTBOOT COMMAND READ ERROR -2147483647" that can actually fix it. everything from flashing stock via odin, uninstall and reinstall sdk, differnt usb cables, ubuntu 12.04 and win7. seems to no fix...please help. this started after flashing koush JB update via rom manager
Same thing for me but its stuck at the boot animation and it just started
Hello, I am currently rooted and on stock on pixel xl. I am trying to flash the pure nexus rom. I downloaded through the link in the op, factory reset and flashed through twrp (3.0.2rc1). When I went to reboot, it said OS not installed. Can anyone offer any assistance with this? Needless to say, I didn't reboot with that. I did however do a backup (of stock) prior to this. I decided to restore my backup but when it rebooted it said something about the vender image is not right with this system and to flash the correct image. This is exactly what its saying : Your vendor image does not match the system. Please flash the NOF27C vendor image for your device. I have managed to move the correct image file to the internal storage but from what i read, can only install through twrp.
And when it finished rebooting, now 90% of my apps are crashing, no fingerprint hardware, developer options are not available and I had to reboot back into recovery but its like twrp is gone, it looks like the stock recovery. Somehow it appears there are parts of my stock rom and pure nexus rom combined which is understandbly causing my issues. Right now I am trying to get back to having twrp but am stuck.
I have since tried to reinstall twrp but when I plug my xl into my pc, the pc recognizes it but no storage. I cant move a file from pc to xl because its saying disconnected or not responding. Tried to get a command prompt and when I shift/right click, there is no option. I don't know what else to do.
If anyone has any suggestions, please help. I am freaking over this. Can't use my phone in the state its in.
Sounds far from bricked.
Just entirely screwed up.
FASTboot the latest factory image and then refrain from tinkering for the weekend.
These are the steps i use.
I think a new ADB/FastBoot package was released yesterday you might want to install that.
Execute fastboot commands (assuming the bin is on your PATH)
fastboot flash bootloader c:\_PIXEL_XL_\bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio c:\_PIXEL_XL_\radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot_a c:\_PIXEL_XL_\boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b c:\_PIXEL_XL_\boot.img
fastboot flash system c:\_PIXEL_XL_\system.img
fastboot flash system_b c:\_PIXEL_XL_\system_other.img
fastboot flash vendor c:\_PIXEL_XL_\vendor.img
fastboot flash modem c:\_PIXEL_XL_\modem.img
fastboot reboot
To add TWRP and Root:
fastboot boot c:\_PIXEL_XL_\twrp.img
In TWRP, install twrp.zip
Reboot into the installed recovery
In TWRP, install supersu.zip
Hi, I am i dire straits. I have a pixel xl running pure nexus, rooted and on tmobile. I am trying to get back to completely stock. i tried followig the instructions but somewhere I messed up.

No offence but i am lost by what you said, I am trying to get back to completely stock. Is part of my issue the fact that command prompt didn't detect my device? or no?
I'm not exactly sure what to do with the information you shared, sorry
I the tutorial i found it says to make sure the command prompt sees your device but doesnt say what to do when it doesnt see it.
Also, I downloaded the may factory image, i believe it was version O
Am I suppose to use the O image or the L image (verizon). I am on tmobile. I used the O image when i ran into trouble

If you did not get your phone from Verizon use this
7.1.2 (N2G47O, May 2017)
Download the zip
unpack all the zip files some are nested so unzipping one creates more keep unzipping until there are no more then gather the following img files
bootloader.img
radio.img
boot.img
system.img
system_other.img
vendor.img
modem.img
Some of those names are cut down as i hate typing long strings, jsut rename them as such.
Create a folder on root of c:\_PIXEL_XL_
put all the files there.
You will use way less files than you unpacked
once you have done that run the following commands
copy and paste
fastboot flash bootloader c:\_PIXEL_XL_\bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio c:\_PIXEL_XL_\radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot_a c:\_PIXEL_XL_\boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b c:\_PIXEL_XL_\boot.img
fastboot flash system c:\_PIXEL_XL_\system.img
fastboot flash system_b c:\_PIXEL_XL_\system_other.img
fastboot flash vendor c:\_PIXEL_XL_\vendor.img
fastboot flash modem c:\_PIXEL_XL_\modem.img
fastboot reboot
After last reboot just wait and you will be back at stock
if that doesnt work
Download latest version of TWRP place it in C:\_PIXEL_XL_
rename it twrp.img, again i hate typing long strings
from bootloader run
fastboot boot c:\_PIXEL_XL_\twrp.img
This will take you into twrp
you might need to wipe system and cache and data,
From memory the fourth entry at bottom is internal memory or user data, in any event if you do not check that your data stays on the phone.
Once you have wiped the other 3 rerun the fastboot commands and you will be back at stock
add the twrp and supersu commands from earlier to add root.
dont forget the signatureverify.img if you are doing that.
good luck.
you arent bricked
you just need to find the correct combination of steps to get your phone where you want it to be
Thanks for the response. I am having a hard time with this, the zip file i downloaded from the google website, when i open it, there are only 6 files, 1 of which is a zip file (marlin). When I open marlin it shows a bunch of files, none of which you mentioned. I am confused, was wondering if you would be nice enough to walk me through this over the phone, i would be really grateful.
Is there anyone that can walk me through this this on the phone, the more i try to understand this, the more cofused i get. pLeASE!!!!

Okay so I had the exact problem yesterday. To to the Google developers site and download the official Google pixel or xl 7.1.2 nougut ota update. Once that's downloaded, go to your phone, I had all the exact same screens on my phone so it should work. Hold down the power button until it completely shuts down. Then hold the power and volume down to go to recovery mode, if it goes back to the ext 4 screen, try it again until it goes to recovery mode, then on command prompt type, fastboot boot twrp.img then once it's in twrp, go to advanced-then adb sideload and click both boxed and then swipe to enter sideload. Then on your computer, type adb sideload "file name for Google update" and hit enter. That should do the trick. Like I said, I had the exact same problem yesterday
---------- Post added at 06:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:50 PM ----------
Also, I forgot to mention, download the twrp image file from the Internet. Shouldn't be hard to find just make sure it's the latest. Put that file in the adb file on your computer same with the Google update for your phone. Do not unzip either file. That's very important. DO NOT UNZIP THE UPDATE File. When you type in the twrp.img make sure you type img. And when you flash the update, make sure at the end of the file name you put
.zip ex( marlinpixelxl7.1.2.zip)

Looking at your screen shot you didn't let the file finish flashing. It sticks at the "does not contain" for a bit before it continues.
You were doing it right. You just didn't wait.
If it wasn't going to work it would eventually give you a failure and jump to the command prompt.

OP was flashing to stock. Didn't let it finish though.
