Why not include the vendor file in the zip? - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just curious why I need to flash the vendor image after a ROM instead of just having it flash as part of the installation? Not that it's a big deal, just wondering if there is a specific reason. Seems like it could just be put in the zip and save a step. Thanks!

because it only needs to be flashed once per month/google release?

In some cases like Temasek it has to be flashed right beforehand too every time you install it or it won't boot (specifically the image, at that). I'm pretty sure the reason is that it'd mean swelling the size of every build by nearly 100mb, as opposed to having people download it serpaately which means its just one 100ish mb download a month. Also in the case of Temasek only flashing the vendor IMG works, not the zip so it wouldn't be practical.

Why are you complaining about a prepackaged zip? That is for folks too lazy to flash radio and boot images manually. You need to update those every major google update listed on Nexus Factory Image host.

And this is why I don't post any of my own ROM builds or participate on XDA anymore. Thanks for your contribution.

You are complaining about something other folks took the time to make it easier for people to update their boot/radio/vendor files. Thanks for your whining? You build ROMs and you don't know you only need to update that once every major update from google? Huh...

I tried to install the rom and now the phone doesn't work anymore, I can't get into recovery, the image folder exists but does not go into recovery, you can know what happened? is this a joke?

Does it mean that the phone still be able to boot after flashing the rom(without needed files) from cwm but I have to move the needed files to system/app then to make it work properly?
Am I right?

Nope. We dont have a coder right now so all modifications were done by me to have a stable ICS. I took the zip that bronxitas made and added tweaks and removed files to make it faster and smoother. So i thought it would work because that zip was working fine.

THIS ROM IS MADE BY ONEPLUS, NOT ME.
Here we go, official L for the oneplus one (made by oneplus) is here, there are a few bugs which can be found in the main link above.
Happy flashing!

guys you need to unmount system before you flash otherwise the updater script will fail.
Great will retry
I'm using it right now. No real problems noticed so far except for a couple of crashes at first boot. It's really smooth. Pure AOSP.
Yes very pure.
Strange cant get into recovery anymore
Does anyone know if they're using the same sources as Cyanogen? (It had a weird name. CM started to suck when they started using it.)
Or is it PURE AOSP?

I think you need to reflash recovery when you install it, which is easy to do from fastboot.
I did that. But even then i was not able to enter recovery
very very different modem, compared it against all the five I've got here (not all the previous modems) and can't see anything like it.

Best ROM for the P7000

Stock vs CM vs Vibe
We were supposed to get 5 different polished ROMs and, instead of that, we need to find our way to get a barely working phone.
Which is the most stable? Which is the most beautiful?
Those lucky enough to have received the phone, speak.

What's your deal? Taking so much bull**** that you need to spread it?
Right now I'm using MDS rom it's working good. Everything is working. Supersu is updated and xposed is too. I'm still having some visual problems but nothing to worry about... My album art work wasn't working on stock but it is on this ROM. They just took stock and made it better... I do have a question. Can you send me cm12.1 that I can flash in CWM. I can't get the tool to work for me.

look, the way you asked the question is how you got the first reponse. the same can be asked with you, whats your deal?
just calm down and let it go. keep it clean.
also what works for the other users might not work for you. so much hype around this phone and they didn't dissapoint-they market the item well and always sell half finished goods.
maybe the only good thing going for it is they "might" release source code which they should be doing any way so the community irons out the bugs.
they're trying a different approach with the P8000 saying we will give out the kernel source code blah blah blah developer friendly etc but i will wait and see. i tried for 3 weeks to get P7000 in flash sales. twice i had in my basket trying to check out and the price jumped from 159usd to 209usd by the time i checked out. i thought it was a sign, wait... wait until reviews and see if any shipping issues. i'm glad i did.
now to answer your question to the best of my ability...the stock rom is the only one that i know off that allows the fingerprint reader to work properly.
each of the other firmwares have their advantages and disadvantages.
XDA doesn't allow "best rom" threads but i understand where you are coming from.
are you looking in terms of stability or most working features?
look @ my signature, so far is the best rom, few bugs that needs to be iron out "other roms have not been updated recently"

A new version of the stock OS came in OTA. If you want to test it you have to reset to the stock rom and install the OTA update. It's way more fluid than the original, seriously for me it was day and night. I didn't get trouble with the photo and the new launcher is nice. It's still Android 5.0.

Oh got it

The roms that are compatible are GSI 8.1 roms. Others don't work.
How I got it to work;
Flash twrp with treble support. Reboot to recovery.
Flash both vendor zips, reboot to recovery
Flash U11 treble zip, reboot to recovery
Flash Oreo GSI system image of your liking from https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development
Flash U11 selinux zip. Reboot.
It should boot.
Also, make sure you backup in twrp beforehand as if it's not what you want, you can just restore.
For pixelexperience, I had issues with gapps verification. It wouldn't let me get around it.

Do you mean backup in New twrp, or old, i assume old backups won't work anymore?
And is it right what treple checker says that our device i a device with only one partition, thus only flash a images , with gapps?
And treple check says no treble support, but that is because i didn't flash zips yet surely
And which roms would you recommend?
Are all gsi images compatible with our htc u 11 ?
I'm on rr and not stock, magisk installed, does this matter?
Sorry for all the q but better sure than sorry

Without the support from USA device owners and them being left out from rooting played a huge factor.

Without the support from USA device owners and them being left out from rooting played a huge factor.

Last update seems to be from 2013, i don't think that is compatible with Android Pie.
I recommend you to use SuperR's Kitchen (free version is only available for Linux, to use it on Windows you need to buy the full version).

Couldn't execute binary on the Mac, but I got it running on a Linux virtual box.

I just flashed a zip I cooked that was made from the patched boot and the stock system.img
No luck there.
Back to the drawing board.

Were all hoping to get a working custom rom for this device, Keep up bro. Thanks for trying
Seems like all the GSI ROMs break some hardware functionality at this stage so the best option for now is to root and debloat stock and load your own preferred apps in place of the Samsung / Google ones. Not quite a "Custom" ROM but makes for a pleasant enough phone that you can tolerate much more than the horror of stock.
Now a custom kernel to clock our severely crippled SoC back to its full glory would be a thing to smile about

I think that's because you have to add the device in 8)Room tools, 4)Asserts menu, 1)Add/remove device, then try adding the device, in my case i added "a20,a205g", i don't really know what device name TWRP reads

When I flashed as A20, it told me the device was a20.
I added just a20. It flashed but froze on the Samsung screen.
Progress.
It's all a learning experience.
I also found this on GitHub.
