Okay, so I got the leaked Acer generic Honeycomb 3.1 "update.zip" and it installed without issue. However, after gaining root access (verified via root check), installing Busybox v1.18.4 (1.9 didnt like my device), and installing clockworkmod rev 1.3.4 via Acer recovery I find that I cannot complete the ROM installation. I have tried numerous kernels supposedly geared towards my device to no avail. I did boot into recovery mode, factory reset/wipe, wipe cache, wipe battery statistics, and clear dalvick cache....but it didnt work. None of the three kernels I've tried actually install. So far I have tried "UNITY_V1_2.6.36.4_OC1600_SLQB_CIFS_TUN_VR", "unity_v3_picasso_acer", and "Virtuous_Picasso_v1.0.8_Acer_based_thor-kernel v1.1-beta" They say installation from sd completed, (even though the progress bar lasts all of 3 seconds and the text doesnt properly populate) but I get the boot hang upon power cycle. I did verify that the kernels werent corrupted, and I have been able to unbrick via the 3.1 update.zip. Any help would be appreciated.
Oh and also of note, is that I have two mico SD cards, one 16GB SDHC which for some reason wont mount, and a 2GB SD that mounts properly. Both sd cards were formatted from the tablet.

I will try that and get back to you. Thank you for the suggestion.

Okay, I followed your suggestions and it didnt make a difference(custom ROM install from SD card completes in 3 seconds, then hangs on the Acer splash screen upon reboot), also while reinstalling the leaked 3.1 stock ROM it gives me a stop error? "random offset 0x339", but completes the installation of said stock 3.1 ROM.

Strange. Check if all partitions can be mounted (from 'mounts and storage' menu). Also, is there anything interesting in /tmp/recovery.log?
According to recovery, everything but the 16GB SD card can be mounted successfully. As for the second suggestion, where would I find the tmp directory? I dont see it in root so where would it be?

You need adb for this. If you do not have adb, see this guide how to install it (but skip step 7).
Then boot into recovery and try to install a ROM (which will most likely fail). Next, from the console on your pc (the one where you also typed "adb devices") type:
Code:
adb pull /tmp/recovery.log
This will pull the file from your device and save it in the folder where adb is installed.
Alright, I'll get right on it, and get back with some text.
i see here, after u wipe data, u install kernel only zip file???
then you dont have OS flashed, how can it boot

Lol, I should read the post better next time
@OP: interqd is right. You have to install a full ROM, not just the kernel.

Well it looks like I have some more research to do.
These are the instructions I was following...
Overclock Acer Iconia
To begin, copy the kernel you downloaded from the link above, to the root of your SD card.
Once the file is copied, reboot your device into recovery mode. (Power off the device and hold the Power button and Volume down until text in the upper left corner appears. When it does, release the Volume down button.)
Once in the recovery, make a NANDroid backup.
Now, wipe cache and dalvick cache.
Once done, simply flash the kernel you copied to your SD card and let it install and then simply reboot your device.
My n00bish terminology was incorrect, I am trying to flash a custom kernel.
Everytime I try to flash any of those kernels in the original post now I get the garbled screen. What am I doing wrong with the kernels? I followed the instructions to the letter.
Are you trying to install a custom kernel over stock ROM? If so, that's why it's not working. Try with a full custom ROM image.

I suppose I need to find one then. This one that I am using is 3.1 stock but rooted. At any rate, thanks to everyone who took the time to help me find my roots. I've been overclocking notebooks and desktops for years and I thought I'd jump right into the tablet sector as well. Anyways thank you all for your help and guidance.

There are several in the dev section.
Okay, I just wanted to come in and update. I got the virtuous picasso rom and unity V3 kernel installed and running flawlessly. I am loving it by the way, so now I can get down to what I intended...overclocking and benchmarking. Thank you all for your help.
My goodness it's so easy to overclock these tabs, no doubt due in magnitude to the hard work of the developers of these custom kernels/ROMs.

It is fine here. He could, however, insert another how-to-install post in ROM thread, with a bunch of *spoilers* to make it cleaner.
Let's get to the corrections. Lots of unneeded stuff (to say in polite way).

Not working for me. Was on stock .587 ROM with root and i had installed CWM. Locked bootloader. Did a wipe data/factory reset, then wiped cache and dalvik cache, also wiped battery stats. Then i flashed the zip Omega_V3 and it booted into AROMA. I chose to use Android lockscreen, Android Apps, Android notification bar, then i chose to use Thunderbolt but not Supercharger. I did not install any user apps. Then i installed and got stuck on SONY logo.

Reinstalled it - now i did it like this - Wipe data/factory reset, Wipe cache, Wipe dalvik cache and FORMAT SYSTEM. Then installed without supercharger but installed thunderbolt. Installed Arc S Launcher, Android Apps, Android Lock screen, Android notification bar and no user apps. Also checked remove useless apps. It worked! I'm pretty sure you need to format system if you're on locked bootloader.
This is not working for me on unlocked bootloader I tried with out the supercharger and thunderbolt installed and then with them installed.
Tried in total 4 installs with different set up but each time got stuck at boot logo.
Was installing with stock kernel as not sure how to use fastboot and install custom kernel.

Just having unlocked bootloader does nothing. Unlocking only allows custom kernels to be installed, it doesn't help anything else.

When trying the setup out this Rom 1st time I had selected ( from memory) the stock kernel, stock launcher, stock status bar,supercharger,thunderbolt,the extra apps gmail,and option for other apps. Didn't work.
Then tried again with same options but this time not installing supercharger or thunderbolt didn't work.
Tried 3rd time this time supercharger but not thunderbolt didn't work.
4th attempt tried with thunderbolt,but not supercharger didn't work.
Each time I had refresh stock then root then install cwm and try again.
Each install I did full wipe,factory reset,etc
But after this I am now back to my current setup.
Thanks but I won't be trying again to install.

How to install CM11 on official international S4 mini LTE(serranoltexx) and 3G(serrano3gxx) variants only:
Don't use this guide for any other variants of S4 Mini.
M-releases and Snapshots are NOT upgrades to NIGHTLIES! Nightlies are always newer and more up to date than M-releases or Snapshots! "Upgrading" to snapshot from nightly can cause any number of problems. (More info about snapshots in the notes).
Check the notes below before doing anything or asking anything, if it already answers your question, thanks!
Root and install using ONLY CWM recovery (latest version is 6.0.5.1) and the guides in these threads:
Available here: [RECOVERY][ROOT] Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini LTE (GT-I9195)
Available here: [RECOVERY][ROOT] Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini 3G (GT-I9190)
Download the CM11 rom file for your device from http://get.cm/?device=serranoltexx or http://get.cm/?device=serrano3gxx and copy the file you downloaded into your sdcard(external or internal) along with the
Google Applications(gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip for Android 4.4.3+ / CM11, also ART compatible) (Optional, but recommended) (goo.im is not yet listing kitkat gapps) (also the gapps is only for 4.4.3 and up so it's for nightly roms).
Boot into CWM (Vol Up + Home just as the phone is booting up, navigate using Vol buttons, HOME to select, POWER to back).
Make a backup of your NANDroid (Optional, but recommended - Do this so you can return to your previous ROM).
Select "wipe data/factory reset" and press Yes. (This also wipes cache and dalvik cache.)
Go to Install zip from sdcard -> Choose zip from /sdcard, which you have put the rom file on (sdcard/ is internal and sdcard1/ is external).
Browse to it and flash the cm-11-2014xxxx-XXXX-serranoltexx/3gxx.zip file FIRST (nightly / M1 / RC / stable) by selecting and pressing Yes.
Then flash the gapps file like you just flashed the rom file. (Optional, but recommended).
Notes:
Moved this guide to here to save space from CM11 bug discussion thread.
This can brick your device, void your warranty and kill your cat if you don't follow the guides to the letter or you use these guides for the wrong S4 Mini variants like GT-I9192, Sprint(JDQ39.L520 or SPH-L520), SHV-E370K, SGH-I257M, SCH-R890, GT-I9195T and GT-I9197 etc.. These other variants aren't officially supported, but if you want to root them etc. search other threads from these S4 Mini forums for guides.
You can save the files either to internal or external sdcard. sdcard/ is internal and sdcard1/ is external.
Factory reset also wipes cache and dalvik cache.
Factory reset wipes data, but it doesn't wipe your internal sdcard (or external). Only data stuff like apps, settings for a rom etc., example pictures and other media stuff are saved.
When you flash a rom, the flashing script formats /system before flashing the rom.
If you download the rom files with phone the default path for the files in CWM recovery is: Install zip from sdcard -> Choose zip from /sdcard -> 0/ -> Download/.
Check this thread for more info about rooting and stuff related on CWM.
On the CWM install guide there's a step "10: Optional: Flash GT-I9195_Kernel_v1.zip to use a custom stock kernel, which might fix battery drain for some." This kernel is only for the stock samsung rom and not for CM11.
On the CWM install guide there's a S4Mini_RootKit_v2.zip, it's meant for stock samsung rom and not for CM11.
Upgrading to newer nightly: You can just flash it over the old one, but it's highly recommend to always backup before flashing newer nightly. Also some people like to wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing newer one, but it's not necessary.
If you want the latest CWM recovery updates to be installed at the same time you update to newer nightly, unlock developer options by tapping build number 10times from About phone settings and then tick the Update CM recovery option on from the developer options.
M-releases and Snapshots are NOT upgrades to NIGHTLIES! Nightlies are always newer and more up to date than M-releases or Snapshots! "Upgrading" to snapshot from nightly can cause any number of problems.
- If you want to use snapshots/m-releases, don't use nightlies at all! (and the other way around.)
- If you want to switch from nightlies to snapshots, always FULL WIPE.
- If you want to switcht from snapshots to nightlies, no need to full wipe.
Root and root app is integrated into CM11 rom, so you don't need to flash rootkit or install superuser app.
CWM aka ClockworkMod is the official Cyanogenmod recovery and the only one I recommend using.
CM aka Cyanogenmod.
The number 11 of CM tells which android version it's based on. CM11 is based on android 4.4.x KitKat, which is the latest one.
If you get warnings about applications doing not permitted actions, delete the following files from system/app, or let SuperSU fix it for you. KNOXAgent.apk, KNOXStore.apk and ContainerAgent.apk.
"Set Warranty Bit kernel" message means that your warranty is void depending on the country where you live (In EU it might still be under warranty, USA not. For others google). This happened because you had KNOX firmware installed on your phone when you bought it or you got one when you upgraded your stock rom. This can not be reseted yet.
What is knox?
(Not recommended at the moment, has bugs, date 3 aug 2014) Recommended app when using nightlies: For downloading smaller updates instead of whole nightlies, check CyanDelta updater app.
Recommended app when using nightlies: For making nandroid backups without booting to recovery, check this app (also has pro version).
Thanks for this tutorial.

Okay awesome.
Two last questions before I do it:
Is it possible to get a hardbrick if I mess up?
Dont you have to wipe cache?
Thanks.
Sent from my GT-I9195 using xda app-developers app
Of course there's always a chance if you don't follow the guides or flash wrong stuff for wrong device. But with these guides and the right models, there's really no chance of it.
Anyhow flashing is always at your own risk so you can only blame yourself if your flashing kills your cat.
On other tutorials it says you have to wipe cache and Delvik cache. Is that optional=?
+ I downloaded the nightly version and gapps over my phone. Can i leave them in the download folder or will they be gone after data wipe?

Factory reset also wipes cache and you can also wipe the dalvik too.
No they won't be, data wipe doesn't wipe your internal sdcard. Only data stuff like apps, settings for a rom etc., example pictures and other media stuff are saved.
Edit: Thanks for you questions, now I have added answers to them into the FAQ so I don't have to answer these again and now the guide is even better
Thanks and np I guess.
Will do it now.

No. You are probably bootlooping, suggest you recover your backup and try boot with it or flash newer/earlier nightly.
Check this thread's 1st post and the latest posts for info if some new nightly causes bootloops. Example 14th nightly caused bootloop.

Yeah try that. Also download the latest, 19th nightly.
Yay it worked. Maybe you should add wipe cache partion after factory reset.
I was wondering. I just rooted my S4 mini following the tutorial suggested in the first post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980
It gives a step 10: Optional: Flash GT-I9195_Kernel_v1.zip to use a custom stock kernel, which might fix battery drain for some.
Kernel changelog: https://github.com/arco/android_kern.../commits/stock
So what I want to ask: I want to install CM11, but experiencing little battery drainage from time to time. Should I first install GT-I9195_Kernel_v1.zip and then CM11 mod or not?

NANDROID BACKUPNOTE: If the backup's android version was on an android version older than the one you are trying to flash DO NOT FLASH IT.(pss. it does no harm, just it is worthless)
NOTE: Backup must be done before wiping any partitions.
NOTE: In the following methods i will be using TWRP as custom recovery.
BACK UP PROCEDURE
1) Boot into recovery mode. (In order to do so, press Volume Up (+), Homebutton and the Power-Button at the same time untill you see the S3 Mini Logo, then release the Power-Button and keep pressing Volume Up (+) and the Homebutton untill you see the TWRP logo!)
2) From the main menu of the TWRP press the Backup button.
3) Then tick the partitions that you want to backup (Preferably Boot, Data and System).
4) Make sure that your destination folder is on your external sd-card. (If you dont have micro a sd card, save it on the internal storage and then transfer the files to a computer.
5) Choose a name or leave the auto-generated one.
6) Enable encryption, so others can't install your backup with all of your apps, contacts, accounts etc.
7) Swipe to Back Up.
8) DONE!
CUSTOM RECOVERY METHODS
NOTE: In the following methods i will be using TWRP as custom recovery.
NOTE: The following methods are completely different from each other, thus you should NOT try to mix them.
METHOD NO.1 (The clean installation) RECOMMENDEDIt is recomended but not necessary to perform a FORMAT DATA wipe before wiping the bellow partitions.
As you may have heard the clean installation, is a method that wipes all your device's DALVIK CACHE, SYSTEM, CACHE, DATA and INTERNAL STORAGE partitions.
YOU DONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MAKING THE PHONE UNSUABLE.
By wiping SYSTEM partition, you only wipe the old ROM's files. The new ROM will genarate new proper files.
By wiping DALVIK CACHE and CACHE, you just clean the old " mess" of installed apps etc.
By wiping INTERNAL STORAGE and DATA you DO delete all of your personal files, apps, phone contacts etc.
WIPE PROCEDURE
1) From the main menu of the TWRP press the Wipe button.
If you dont want to follow the step 2 go to step 4.
2) OPTIONAL BUT RECOMENDED: Then press the Format Data button.
2a) Go back.
2b) From the main menu of the TWRP press the Reboot button.
2c) Then press the Recovery button.
After that your device will reboot by it self into recovery mode, continue.
3) From the main menu of the TWRP press the Wipe button.
4) Then press the Advanced Wipe button.
5) Tick the Dalvik Cache, System, Cache, Data, Internal Storage.
BE CAREFULL, DO NOT WIPE your Micro SD Card! Otherwise you will not be able to install your ROM.

INSTALL PROCEDURE
1) From the main menu of the TWRP press the Install button.
2) Browse to your micro sd card.
3) Find the ROM.zip file you want to install.
4) Press on it.
5) Then Swipe to Confirm Flash.
OPTIONAL STEPS FOR GAPPS PACKAGE. IF YOU DONT WANT TO INSTALL IT CONTINUE TO STEP 8

METHOD NO.2 (The "dirty" installation) NOT RECOMENDEDWith this method you DO NOT wipe your INTERNAL STORAGE nor your DATA. You only wipe the absolutely unnecessary files from the old rom so the new rom can genarate new ones.
As you may have heard the "dirty" installation, is a method that only wipes DALVIK CACHE and CACHE.
By wiping DALVIK CACHE and CACHE, you just clean the old " mess" of installed apps etc.

9) Then press the System button.
10) DONE!
ODIN METHOD
NOTE: With the following method you can't install Gapps. If you wish to install GApps you must install them with a custom recovery and by following the FLASH USING CUSTOM RECOVERY METHODS post. Same goes for the super su.
INSTALL PROCEDURE
1) Boot into Download mode. (In order to do so, press Volume Down (-), Homebutton and the Power-Button at the same time untill you see the Green warning screen. Then press the Volume Up).
2) Connect the device to the computer.
3) Open Odin on the computer.
4) Check if your device is being recognised on the top left of the Odin window. There should be displayed something like (e.x. 0:[COM3]). (If nothing is displayed, you propably didn't install the Drivers or you installed the wrong ones)
5) Make sure that only Auto Reboot and F.Reset time are ticked.
6) Press ONLY the PDA button.
7) Browse to your downloaded file (e.x. ROM.tar.md5).
8) Select it.
9) Press Start.
10) Wait untill the device reboots and on the top left is displayed one green box saying PASS!.
11) Unplug the device from the computer.
12) Immediately remove the cover and take out the battery.
13) Wait 5 secs and then put it back again.
14) Boot into recovery mode. (In order to do so, press Volume Up (+), Homebutton and the Power-Button at the same time untill you see the S3 Mini Logo, then release the Power-Button and keep pressing Volume Up (+) and the Homebutton)
15) Wipe data/factory reset.
16) Wipe Cache partition.
17) Press reboot system now.
18) DONE!
UNBRICK
NOTE: Please be sure that your device is bricked. To know if your device is bricked, your device should not boot into your current ROM at all and at some cases not even on (Custom) recovery. In other words you suffer from what is called bootloop.
If you are able to boot into your already flashed custom recovery use the FLASH USING CUSTOM RECOVERY METHODS and flash your custom ROM to regain access to the phone.
If you can not boot into your custom recovery but you can boot in download mode the problem is repairable. Be sure that you have the original recovery installed before you flash the Stock ROM because some roms don't include it and it may cause some issues.
If you can not even boot in download mode then your device is hard bricked and you must use an usb jig in order to make your device boot into download mode(ONLY) again. If at the end, you still can not boot into download mode then there is nothing you can do from a software-side
Download the stock rom you need form here: www.sammobile.com and unzip it on your computer.
UNBRICK PROCEDURE
1) Boot into Download mode. (In order to do so, press Volume Down (-), Homebutton and the Power-Button at the same time untill you see the Green warning screen. Then press the Volume Up).
2) Connect the device to the computer.
3) Open Odin on the computer.
4) Check if your device is being recognised on the top left of the Odin window. There should be displayed something like (e.x. 0:[COM3]). (If nothing is displayed, you propably didn't install the Drivers or you installed the wrong ones)
5) Make sure that only Auto Reboot and F.Reset time are ticked.
6) Press ONLY the PDA button.
7) Browse to your downloaded file (e.x. ROM.tar.md5).
8) Select it.
9) Press Start.
10) Wait untill the device reboots and on the top left is displayed one green box saying PASS!.
11) Unplug the device from the computer.
12) Immediately remove the cover and take out the battery.
13) Wait 5 secs and then put it back again.
14) Boot into recovery mode. (In order to do so, press Volume Up (+), Homebutton and the Power-Button at the same time untill you see the S3 Mini Logo, then release the Power-Button and keep pressing Volume Up (+) and the Homebutton)
15) Wipe data/factory reset.
16) Wipe Cache partition.
17) Press reboot system now.
18) DONE!
If everything went as it should you should now have stock rom with stock recovery installed.
In the ODIN method you dont mention how to install Gapps. Please explain me how to install Gapps with the odin method. And also i have a question... if I will use the odin method i will have root after installation?

The most known and safe (in a way) method is flashing your ROM with a Custom Recovery which i highly recommend [also you dont mess alot with the binary counter that way(if you dont know what this is , please google it)], but if you want to go with the Odin method that's ok with me.
About GApps: In actually fact you can't flash GApps with Odin. GApps were created only be to flashed with a Custom Recovery(whether this is TWRP or CWM).
My suggestions are that after you flash your desired ROM with the Odin method there are two options:
1)You flash a Custom Recovery via Odin and then you use the guide from above(FLASH USING CUSTOM RECOVERY METHODS) and only follow the steps from 6a to 6e and then only the 8th step.
About the Root Access after flashing with Odin: That depends only from ROM that you flashed. If you want root access and your ROM does not support native Root Access you must install a custom recovery and from there flash the supersu.zip file.
NOT ALWAYS AVAILABLE:After you flashed your rom via Odin (and taking into consideration that you dont have a custom recovery) you should enable ROM's native root access managment tool. From there you can experiment as you like.
I hope i helped good luck and play it safe .

Really you cant define which one is the best. All of the roms that have been ported/created from our developers here, are great. It really depends on your personal liking.

Fusionkat ROM is a stock rom, so in order to flash it you have to use the odin method from the guide that i wrote on this page. Stock roms can only be flashed with Odin.
Hi btw can i flash rom for i8190 for i8190n?
I think its better if dalvik cache & cache will be cleaned again after installation and before rebooting the system in the Clean Installation

If you mean whether or not you are able to flash a rom intented for i8190 on a i8190N the answer is yes.

I think it makes no difference since you delete every thing and also reboot the device after you wiped.

If you dont have a rooted device and you want to install a custom rom, you can use the Odin Method. Consider that i don't recommend this type of thing. It is way better to have at least a custom recovery, then you can do whatever you want on your device. Best of luck
Thank you very much for the guide. I am new to flashing ROMs/rooting my phone and such (but I've done a whole lot of reading and I think I'm about up to speed, seems like fun stuff!) but I was just wondering if there is any way to do this using the Odin method BUT without having to download TWRP?? I have a mad nasty virus on here called pornclub (yet I don't actually watch any porn on my phone, if ever at all (gofigure! :| ...))
This virus started out just trying to download apps while I was connected to the internet and firing up popups for different supermarket stores etc, which was bare-able, but I done a factory reset on the thing and now it seems like the virus is back- and with a vengeance!!! It completely fills the whole phone with popups saying 'hot sexy girls now' etc and downloading so many different silly apps that I can't actually even use any function on the phone any more. So that means no phonecalls, texts, anything, it literally takes over the whole phone with these apps and pictures of all the 'sexy sluts' I can apparently go and meet right now. I also obviously cannot download TWRP or anything else for that matter.
So do I have any silver lining to my boob shaped cloud? Just need to know if there is any way I can just flash a new custom mod without having to download anything on the actual phone at this point, as I have just done a factory reset and now cannot access any functions on there because of popups etc.
Thank you very much kindly in advance for any help. Much appreciated!
edit: I should mention that it now also switches on the wifi and mobile data simultaneously without me even touching it. I currently have the phone sitting on download mode and charging.

Wow you seem to be in trouble but we can FIX it!
First of all i need you to have your battery charged to 100%.( if you cant charge your phone while its on, remove the battery and charge it to another phone or charge it with an external battery charger )
Power off your phone.
With the 3 button compination, go to your current(stock for you i think) recovery and do a factory reset. This will wipe all your data thus the virus.
After all this, boot into your rom.
Then you can flash a custom recovery and flash any rom you want.
You are done!
If this does not work for you, just let me know and i will post another solution.(i am not posting it right now cause it is more complicated!)
EDIT: Sorry for the delay but i didnt saw that you had already done a factory reset and it didnt work. That means that the virus is propably on the sd card. The solution is to wipe your sdcard and use the odin method. As simple as that. Please next time try to keep the things you tried and what is your problem together.

Oops, sorry about that. Thank you for the reply.
I took the sd card out a long time ago but the problem is still there somehow. When I switch on the phone, I have about seconds before I can no longer use it because of popups etc...
Also, I just checked and it seems like I joined these forums on the exact same date as you but 1 year later, we both joined on the 18th of January.
Hi All,
Im pretty close now to throwing Nexus 6p into the wall. Im honestly desperate now.. Few weeks ago replaced battery and usb dock.. and now Im infected by malware which I cannot even remove. Trying different methods for a week now.
Ads pop up (saying Im won something most of the times) in chrome after factory reset without any apps installed, before I even log in to google or anywhere. Same happens on different wifi networks and 3g.
What I tried up to now:
1. Factory reseting through android,
2. Factory reseting and clearing system cache through bootloader
3. Flashing new image from https://developers.google.com/android/images. Im not very familiar with this so had few issues: during procedure "flash-all.sh" - it did not work - nothing happend after trying to run it. So I did (or at least tried) to use this tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t3252931 - Method no. 2. Managed to do almost everything apart these lines "fastboot flash userdata C:/images/userdata.img" and "fastboot flash cache C:/images/cache.img" because they are simply not in the zip file of image I got from google.
After all this, phone restarted fine, but still came up with ads as soon as I open any few pages in chrome.
Could you please help me this this to guide through what to do? I spent ages on google trying to find exact solution but some are old, some I dont get, some without clear instructions what to do...
Appreciate your time guys,
On one post I found that sequence what needs to be installed should be:
"fastboot flash bootloader C:\angler\images\bootloader-angler-angler-xx.xx.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio C:\angler\images\radio-angler-angler-xx.xx.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot C:\angler\images\boot.img
fastboot erase cache
(above command is unnecessary on Android 7.1.2 and above)
fastboot flash cache C:\angler\images\cache.img
(above command is unnecessary on Android 7.1.2 and above)
fastboot flash recovery C:\angler\images\recovery.img
fastboot flash system C:\angler\images\system.img
fastboot flash vendor C:\angler\images\vendor.img
On 7.1.2 and above you'll also need to boot into TWRP recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache. "
What does last line mean? What is TWRP recovery, dalvik cache?

What you need to do is backup all your downloads , music, pictures and anything you've saved in the internal memory. Then go to wipe in twrp and select everything inc internal. That is where it's probably hiding and factory reset won't erase your storage only with internal wipe. But remember you will loose everything so do a manual backup onto desktop or thumb drive. Then you can go flash whatever you please. I'm on the latest 8.1 April and it's working flawlessly. You don't have to wipe davlick and cache after factory flash just good practice to avoid any hiccups like hanging on first boot.

Is there a easier way to do this? As I understand I would need to have my phone rooted, to do this I need to to have twrp, to have it I need to install custum recovery through bootloader....
Is there a easier way to just to wipe all the internal data?
Can someone please just give quick sequence what after what needs to be done? Taking into account I got stock non rooted android 8.1. (I dont give a .. about photos and videos, whats the simplest way to make phone functioning as it supposed to again)
Thanks

I suppose you can use fastboot command "fastboot format userdata". I'm not sure if it would effect your current install but shouldn't.

My opinion/idea/fix:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Backup your recovery stock thing (Using Nexus Toolkit, google it)
2. Flash Custom Recovery (TWRP recovery zip, using adb)
3. Boot to Recovery (TWRP)
4. Wipe everything EXCEPT bootloader and recovery
5. Flash the 2nd step backed up recovery.img using TWRP recovery, to recovery partition.
.....
Procced with the stock steps you followed earlier and failed.
Not sure if I am clear.
Also not sure if you know how to do the steps.
I can help you try the solution I described tho, let me know!

My opinion/idea/fix:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Backup your recovery stock thing (Using Nexus Toolkit, google it)
2. Flash Custom Recovery (TWRP recovery zip, using adb)
3. Boot to Recovery (TWRP)
4. Wipe everything EXCEPT bootloader and recovery
5. Flash the 2nd step backed up recovery.img using TWRP recovery, to recovery partition.

Hi, Thank you for responding!
Before you posted your message thats what I did:
1. Replaced/reflashed recovery.img with twrp
2. Inside TWRP (opened trough bootloader holding power + down...) in advanced wipe options, wiped everything possible
3. Rebooted into bootloader and using ./fastboot commands flashed bootloader, radio, boot, recovery, system, vendor with stock image
4. Replaced/reflashed recovery.img with twrp again
5. Wiped cache and dalvik cache
Still the same problem..
What I can understand I pretty much did what you suggested, correct? I dont have access to Windows pc untill Monday so cannot use Nexus Toolkit. But thanks for recomending it! I'll look into it

I thought of it aswell, tried at home wifi network, 3g, work wifi network, but exactly same type of ad pop-ups come up on every network. FYI it happens like I said even on completely clean/fresh factory reseted phone before putting any logins or installing anything

Not in the mood, I have soo long time to flash OTA full or updates .zip(s) anyway, really.
I can give you a solution tho, preety good to go with.
1. Choose between those 2 -stock enough- custom roms:
(MY PERSONAL PREFERENCE)
--- Pure Nexus 7.1.1 (Older Android - Faster - Solid AF)
--- SuperXE 8.1.0 (Latest Android - Slower and maaaybe a little worst battery life - Still Solid, I am using it atm as main ROM)
----
Let me know If I should keep writing, so we can try from zero the attempt I previously mentioned (wiping and reflashing).
In my opinion if you follow the steps I am about to write you SHOULD not believe in your eyes if you still see the virus, or consider that the malware is actually something else, somewhere else and not in your smartphone's ROM or Storage.
(If you wanna go for it, start downloading the ROM files you choosen, it will save you/us time, find them here on XDA Nexus 6P section)
(I will edit this post)
----
2. Follow the steps @Cile381 gives on SuperXE thread, if you have any questions I will respond/help instantly, just use @Pipiou211 so I will receive the notification.
BE VERY VERY VERY CAREFUL with your bootloader, radio and recovery sections, if you leave one of them empty, flash wrong .zip/.img or unplug your smartphone while flashing you will HARDBRICK your device.
Especialy Bootloader.
Update them to be ready for Oreo Android and move to next steps (vendor and rom).

Yes, If you just have time I would be very interested to go through your method! I'm downloading SuperXE 8.1.0 as we speak, but speed is not very consistant from the server (says it could take between 20min and 4 hours to download..) But please guide me through the process if you can. Thank you!

Quick few question I got:
According to SuperXE instructions I need to:
- Reboot to recovery (Question 1: by recovery it means twrp? do I need to root my phone to do this or just simply replace recovery with twrp using "fastboot flash..." commend like I did before?
- Take necessary backups
- Wipe system/data/cache
- Flash the appropriate vendor.img
- Flash Rom.zip
- Reboot to system
Question 2: Would these be correct - more detailed instructions how to install "Zip" not "IMG" ?
7. How To Install A ROM with TWRP Recovery
Prerequisites: unlocked bootloader (section 1), TWRP recovery (section 2).
Installing a ROM is a pretty straight forward and easy process. Before you install anything you should make a nandroid backup (instructions above).
Download a ROM and appropriate Gapps package and place on your device. You'll also need to find out what build your ROM is based on and download the vendor image for that build, you'll find the latest in my index here.
Boot into your custom recovery.
Perform a full wipe.
Select the wipe option from the TWRP home screen.
Select advanced wipe.
Check the system, data, cache, and dalvik cache options.
Swipe to wipe.
Install the ROM.
Select the install option from the TWRP home screen.
Navigate to where you have the ROM zip stored on your internal storage and select it. You can hit the "add more zips" button now to queue up your gapps package to be flashed after the ROM zip.
Swipe to install.
Most ROMs will run an installer script at this point but some ROMs have what is called an Aroma Installer which allow you to choose some install options before the script runs.
Hit the home button once everything has finished installing.
Install the appropriate vendor image.
Select the install option from the TWRP home screen.
Click the "install image" button in the bottom-right corner.
Navigate to where you have the vendor image stored on your internal storage and select it.
You'll now be asked which partition to flash the image to, select vendor.
Swipe to install.
Once you've installed all necessary zips/images you'll have an option to wipe cache/dalvik and an option to reboot system, hit the reboot system button and you'll boot into your new ROM.
If Yes, Question 3: What is Gapps? Do I need it?
Found answer myself for this: Realised that it was shortening for Google apps. As I understand I need ARM64-8.1 android-stock. Correct?
Thanks

1. (YES to Question 1)
Flash TWRP (latest) to recovery partition.
2. PowerButton+VolumeUp and access TWRP.
3. Flash bootloader (the one cile381 "tell you" to)
4. Flash vendor (the one cile381 tells)
5. Wipe>Advanced check everything except Bootloader, Vendor and Recovery (already installed TWRP in our case)
6. Flash SuperXE ROM (chill and have fun with the Aroma Installer guidance, if unsure leave everything unticked and just NEXT, NEXT, NEXT, NEXT!!)
7. Reboot and check for the malware, after first-time-setup (wifi google account and so on).
DO NOT restore application data from previous "phone".
(8. If we get softbrick) Flash latest radio.img, will tell you the way if we get softbricked, we probably dont need that.
---
(Response to Question 2.)
Step 3. and 4. are .img flashing.
Step 6. is .zip file flashing.
To flash .zip file just tap Flash in the TWRP and tap the 1.28GB .zip file.
To flash .img file(s) tap Flash, then a button like 'Image' or something, you will see it there are just two buttons, including 'Back', then tap the .img file and tap the partition you wanna flash/install it.
Am I clear? My english is not the best sorry about that.

@Pipiou211 All clear apart section 3:
3. Flash bootloader (the one cile381 "tell you" to)
In their page cile381 provides only ROM and Vendor. Where do I get bootloader from?
