As I flashed a wrong PURE NEXUS ROM... For my phone accidentally without properly noticing name now I have downloaded factory .IMG of nexus 6P so if do dirty flashing by just flashing system.IMG and boot.IMG through recovery will this change my full system configuration as I'm reverting my phone full unroot+stock android+re lock boot loader and NRT requires current system so will this flashing just system and boot give me original version of nexus or not....I will wipe system before flashing or just go in recovery and flash these 2 IMG files..
There is no such thing as a "wrong" build number with an AOSP ROM. They build from source so their build numbers may be different than the ones in the factory images but they have to use the same drivers and blobs in the factory images so that everything works. You are fine where you are.
If you still want to revert to stock, follow section 11 in Heisenberg's Unlock/Root/Flash guide in the General section (basically, wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik cache then flash the system, boot, and vendor images).

I'm just asking as I use NRT for reverting the phone to stock and it asks about android platform as it must be android 6.0.1(mhc19i) but currently it is 6.0.1(mhc19j) so there will be problem...that's the main think I want to ask

Not sure what you mean, clean install a rom, never dirty flash unless you're ok with expecting issues.
Doesn't matter which build. Choose the most up to date vendor, chose a kernel or stock with stock. Job done.
If you want to revert to stock, then as the above has said, follow the tutorial to do so. You can't miss.

Disclaimer: I'm used to my old Evo 4G and use a triple wipe script built into my recovery (smelkus) whenever I flash a rom. It pretty much wipes everything.
For the Nexus 7, what needs to be wiped to flash a rom? I did a factory reset, wiped data, wiped cache, wiped system, wiped dalvik-cache, and then flashed a new rom, but I wasn't sure if all that was necessary. I'm using the latest TWRP recovery.
If I'm moving from one rom based on a jelly bean version to another based on the same version, am I ok?
Can I assume upgrading to a new version of the same rom that I don't have to wipe? (I know this one is rom specific, but in general.)
Can I leave data and will that retain my apps? Otherwise, I use Titanium Backup religiously on my Evo and now on my Nexus 7.
I searched within some of the rom instructions as well as the rooting guides, but didn't see anything specific as to what to wipe. Some threads seem to say just factory reset and maybe dalvik-cache.
Instructions with what to wipe usually come in the original post of each ROM. Usually the same ROM with different version only requires a cache wipe while moving between different ROM's requires a full wipe/reset + dalvik.
Worse comes to worse you try something and it doesn't boot and you get back into recovery and fix it.
Hello! I installed Pure Nexus and that went great. That is until I left the house and had no data. Did some searching and all the recommendations say install the latest vendor image. So I did and flashed the mmb29q vendor image and I still don't have data. I'm not sure whats wrong and if someone could atleast point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.
Has nothing much to do with data. It highly likely that your device storage is encrypted.
On a clean install like: wipe data, system, cache, delvik cache, flash rom, flash gapps, flash sprint data fix zip, reboot. Do a Google search its in Nexus 5 forums. It is the fix and it works but must be used on a clean install at end of flash. @mechlior

I updated a to a more recent CM13 Nightly which fixes an issue with Bluetooth stuttering. The downside is that it broke WiFi for me. From what I can tell, it means I need to update my Vendor Image, which I found here.
A couple of questions.
1) If I flash this, will it wipe me fully? Just want to know if this means a full restore of photos, apps, etc.
1a) If no, do I just download, flash, clear cache, good to go?
1b) If yes, do I flash the vendor image, then the ROM?
2) Which one of those do I use?
Thanks in advance for any help provided.

1) No, flashing the vendor doesn't wipe anything.
1a) Just download and flash, no need to wipe cache. Just note that you need to use the "install images" feature in the TWRP install menu, or just flash it with fastboot.
1b) See above.
2) My guess is that the ROM has been updated to the latest, so use the latest vendor image available for this device.
Ok, so I am not new to flashing rom but for some reason I am having huge issues trying to install clean stock OOS 5.1.4 rom. Just want to double check I am not doing anything stupid since I mainly been flashing custom roms (xXx rom mainly).
So I simply wipe dalvik/ART cache, cache, system and data (want to start off completely clan) then flashed the OnePlus5Oxygen_23_OTA_037_all_1807181258_7b4b6.zip file in TWRP.
I am currently on the latest blue TWRP and after flashing, it will try to boot but reboots back into TWRP. I have tried the zip file from a number of sources and they all do the same. Am I missing something here?
UPDATE: I did do something stupid after all. I forgot that my Oneplus was decrypted. So all I had to do was go into TWRP and go to Wipe and format data to re-encrypt it.

When starting fresh, wiping of internal storage should be considered. I recommended 2 guides here https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...nos-beta-1-android-oreo-t3710003/post77205633
Hello guys,
I want to flash pixel experience 9 on a friend's nexus 6p, but since I do not own this device I have some questions about the correct procedure up to flashing a custom rom.
Also please tell me if there are any important things I have to pay attention to in general when going through that entire bootloader, recovery etc thing, like what I should avoid to do, or check before to prevent bad things like bricking or IMEI loss.
What I found out so far:
At first I enable unlocking bootloader in dev options and unlock it with fastboot flashing unlock.
Q: I read that that command will wipe the phone. What exactly? System, data, internal storage, everything?
Then I flash modified twrp from pixel experience thread
After that I am supposed to flash the ROM but I have to do a "clean" flash.
Q: What exactly does that mean? Do I need to do a factory reset before flashing the ROM or should I flash complete stock ROM or just format data?
After flashing the Pixel ROM then I format data in twrp and thats it, right?
And what is this with that weird BLOD? As far as I understood its completly hardware related and can appear theoretically any time?
I just want to be sure that it can't be caused by flashing a custom ROM f.e.
The Pixel Experience Thread also says "If your phone only has 4 cores, download the BLOD patch".
Does that refer to all BLOD affected devices or the devices wich have only 4 cores by default?
The phone is currently on Oreo.
If you need more information (Bootloader version etc, tell me)
Thanks for your time,
Greetings,

Yeah I need to know that too
The Clean flash thing and that Blod thing
If the phone is working by default - you dont need to inform about BLOD. When it suddnely bootloop the whole time - you should have an unlocked bootloader to be able to access your phone again.
Clean flash of any recent image:
1. flash last google factory image with ./flash-all.sh
2. Install twrp recovery (4core version if BLOD-device)
3. copy your android image you want to flash to the device, boot in TWRP (you can also copy it on the device when you are in TWRP mode)
4. wipe cache, system, data first in twrp. Then flash the image you want to have on your phone
5. wipe everything again in advanced wipe except the system partition.
6. reboot and have fun with your clean install
