nexus 9 softbricked - Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I need help.
I have had my nexus 9 bricked for like 6 months or more..
I tried to upgrade to Android 6 developer preview 3..
It doesn't boot.. I see the alert that the device may be corrupt and that things..
I tried to find a OTA but there isn't one for
6.0/MPA44I/2172151 to ->???
After it didn't worked I *as stup*id* did:
fastboot erase system
fastboot oem lock
I think my system partition is corrupt and my bootloader is locked.
I can't do anything, I tried to sideload android N from developer. android. com /intl/es/preview/download-ota.html
BUt nope..
Please help..

I replied to you on the other threads but you have supplied more information here.
"fastboot erase system" probably didn't do anything as your bootloader is locked.
Last thing to try, if you haven't done so already is to try sideloading
volantis MPA44I from MPZ79M
That link gotten from here.
If that doesn't work. You don't have a soft brick but an expensive paperweight!

I read that as "fastboot oem unlock", did the update process brick your tablet.
Are did you issue the commands 6 months ago and that is why your device is bricked?

My bootloader is locked.
I can't boot in Android (probably there's nothing on system partition.) and I wasn't able to install Android N because my recovery is too old

How to see that?
I have the Android M developer preview 3

Still think you have an expensive paperweight.
Have you tried the command "fastboot oem unlock" since you locked the device?
Can you boot a newer stock recovery.img or TWRP.img with
"fastboot boot <name of recovery.img>"
On the odd chance that actually boots, try sideloading Android N OTA again.
Even if it boots, your corrupted system.img might prevent the OTA from been applied.
Note: Try the above commands with your device in bootloader mode.

That doesn't work, I already tried...
If I replace the motherboard the tablet should work, no?
I think its better to buy a motherboard Instead of getting a new one

I wouldn't waste money on a new motherboard as you storage is corrupted, so you would still be faced with trying to get a working system on it.
Write it off as a lesson learned!

Can you unlock the bootloader again? Chances are "OEM unlocking" option is still toggled and open.

No, I can't unlock my bootloader.
I tried sideloading Android N, and it doesnt work.
Probably because my keys are dev-key? I have no idea.
