Root TWRP Bootloop fix after update/OTA

When I did this the first time, it worked like a charm. The second time, it still worked, but it said "No space left on device".

Also, the link to the zipfile that fixes this is broken :-(

Solution for bootlooping to TWRP after OTA update

I've got 2 simple commands to ease everyone's troubled minds. The overwhelming sense of accomplishment you'll get knowing you can use your device again. Take a step back and appreciate this moment. All joking aside, here you go.

You now have two choices. Follow the directions below or download the zip and flash in TWRP.

Start up Terminal Emulator from TWRP.
  • Since its showing a file browser, hit the select button - bottom right, now you can enter command lines.
  • Enter commands EXACTLY as shown (please read disclaimer below).
Code: 
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
Hit enter (return)...wait, takes a few seconds
Now input this
Code: 
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc
Hit enter (return)...wait again.
When its complete, reboot.

Tested and verified numerous times by myself before release.

Also as a note, you may have to reactivate your device before using data or the phone.

Hi HashBrown, after I side loaded the March 2017 security update 2 days later my Nexus 6p went unto a bootloop. The 6p goes to the bootup page with the warning on it and back to the start up Google screen and back and back it just keeps doing this. The only thing that works is when I press power while in recovery, it goes to twrp. Nothing I tried in twrp works like flashing a new system.
In adb, when I enter adb devices it will show my serial number and recovery.
I'd I try to sideload or download, it will come back and say no device or emulators found. I read you post on using the Twrp emulator to enter the 2 lines of code and it fixed some of the devices. Can it help my 6p.?
Also when I plug in the 6p into my PC, I can see that all me files are still in my storage in esxplorer. Would love it if you can offer any help.
 
I had to type the commands in as the zip is missing :( but it did get my phone in "boot to messed up video" mode LOL. I reflashed the ROM from TWRP and now it seems to be working - mucho kudos :) :) :) . BTW I'm using Monstro's ROM now. I've only just got it activated but the Playstore is downloading my backup now I think. I'll post back if anything goes wrong but I think I'm all set <insert happy dance>. .
 
Has anybody found a "fix" for the "Default Wi-Fi MAC address!!! Do not use Wi-Fi with default MAC address Plz write MAC address using Testmode Tool" problem? Probably not a problem unless you end up on the same local network with another borked LS660?

The link to the .zip file doesn't work and I've tried the code way too many times and it hasn't worked yet.

Take deep breath.
The commands most certainly do work. As I answered you in the other thread, I have used this on multiple devices and it worked on all my devices with same file structure/location. Try the commands again, make sure spacing is correct. USB debugging should've been enabled previously, but I was able to without debugging enabled.

I've been using a MAC Changer, but it doesn't stick past reboot. I'm using my LS660 as a home WiFi surveillance camera.
