Hello,
I think that this is the right forum to use.
I'm trying to build Android android-6.0.0_r26 (label MDB08M) for the Nexus 6P.
It seems that for the Nexus 5X and 6P phones, the vendor files are no longer distributed via the developers.google.com/android/nexus/drivers webpage.
I found this post on the google groups site, that indicates that the vendor.img should be extracted from the factory image available on the developers.google.com/android/nexus/images webpage
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-building/_XZxkcSrQVI
I tried this, and when booting, the phone first displayed a corrupted message, and then got blocked at the Andoid logo.
Is there a correct way to do this?
Many thanks,
Paul

As the title suggets my Nexus 10 has the model name of Full AOSP on Mantra after being returned from Samsung support. This is causing issues with Google Updates, Google Play Services and Framework Updates, the error it gives is 'package file was not signed correctly'. Please help me as I have no idea what to do and before I sent it in it Said Model Name as Nexus 10. It is also having issues with Google hangouts and Google+ features

Hi,
Try downloading and installing a ROM from here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
You seem to have an old AOSP or something like that, try installing the latest 4.3 ^^. (It requires unlocked BL AFAIK)
Good luck,

Hi guys,
Yes I purchased a used Nexus 4 & I only want original & genuine factory rom on it, & not any custom rom so that I can get future updates by Google. So guys please help me to verify its integrity. Also I am experiencing default launcher is getting crashed every time when I am moving forward to the widget section after apps on page 4.
Thanks,
AJ
You don't need to verify anything if you download the official images from this official site.

Hey guys, this is my first thread on XDA so im not really sure how this works however, i have a few questions that you tech heads can answer... hopefully!
I have flashed a zip file that includes of Pixel features like google assistant, pixel launcher, rounded icons, blue accents etc. My Nexus 6P is basically a Pixel phone from my understanding, in the 'about phone' section it says Pixel XL under Model and has a build number of NDE63H. I am running on 7.1.1 DP1.
My questions are:
I received a beta update (NPF26F) and i have tried to install it but the phone just restarts and doesnt change anything. I have even downloaded the Flashfire app and tried to do it there but it hasnt recognise that its downloading and i cant find the update in the system. help!!!
also, ive been wanting to try out the Resurrection Rom but im thinking that because my phone isnt really a 6P apart from the looks, would i harm my phone? eg, changing the vendor and so on.
Thanks in advance, again, please dont judge, im new at this sort of thing!
thanks!
You'd flash a matching vendor image and your ROM of choice and gapps. But first you'd have to wipe system and factory reset
I'm running PureNexus. It's been a few years since I've used this phone. How do I update to 8.0 and then to 9.0? Thanks.
Dude, one post was enough. You've asked in 3 different places now about a phone that's 4 years old.
There are dozens of threads in the three different forum sections where you have repeatedly posted your question that answer it. Look around you
Here's the official Google Android factory image download page:
https://developers.google.com/android/images
Scroll all the way down to the 6P. The last link in the 6P section is the latest official firmware for the device, the December 2018 security patch for 8.1.0. Follow the instructions on that site to make sure you have ADB and fastboot installed correctly. Then extract the firmware zip to your ADB/fastboot directory and run the flash-all script.
To get 9.0, you will have to find a custom ROM. Since Google didn't release official Pie for the device, it's likely going to have some bugs or missing features. I haven't kept up with 6P development in a couple years so maybe they've worked out all the kinks, but your best bet for full functionality is going to be the 8.1.0 factory image I linked.
All of the instructions about how to do this can be found in many, many threads in these forums. You'll likely get more assistance in one of those threads than in one of the several you've made. Here's a good place to start:

Sorry, wrong post
Hello!
I've been experimenting with some roms for my SM-T580 and noticed Lineage-based roms warning me about an outdated vendor. Now, when searching the internet I found mostly Nexus users having to flash a newer vendor image (seemingly provided as an .img), but I don't quite know how to get this for my device.
Can somebody explain this to me?
Thanks.
