How to get back on N beta preview ? - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When i first get my 6P this week, I took the OTA to test out the Android N Beta Preview 4, and really liked it, and then I unlocked the bootloader, and rooted and kept N on.
Well then I wanted to get back to MM so I could run a good ROM, I used Nexus Root Toolkit to do the work and get me back on Marshmallow and that worked perfectly and the ROM is great.
But now I want to go back to Android N beta 4, what steps do I need to do ? Can I just flash a Vendor Image in TWRP, and then the stock N ROM and reboot and be all good ?

[Q] Can I install Omni KK over the stock Rooted Lolipop Nexus 7 (2013) FLO

Hey guys I have not seen this in the Q&A section and I want to make sure I do it right.
I only recently rooted my Nexus 7, been running stock but decided I wanted to have Multi Windows like I have on my Note 4. I have not decided on a ROM as I was looking for the best one so I am still running Stock Rooted 5.0.2 I saw Omni ROM and I think that this would be the best ROM to attempt this as I tried the Xposed method and of course got the boot loop.
I see that currently on OmniROM.com that this device is still running on KK 4.4.4 according to the nightlies. I assume I would need to find a KK stock ROM and flash it on to my Nexus to downgrade back to KK in order to install this ROM, or will this install with TWRP even though I'm running Lollipop?
If so does someone have a quick link to the Stock KK files? I used Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit to root my device as I did not feel like going through the same hassel as when I rooted my Droid RAZR so I would just tell that to use those files instead.
I am always flashing ROMs on my Note 4 but I have never gone backwards and I think it was possible to install KK ROM once you upgrade to lolly but not use a lolly ROM if your still on KK.

I don't think anyone has done a compatibility check to see what happens if you run a 4.4 build on a device with 5.x bootloaders. It might work, it might do weird things (usually with sensors/wifi)
Multiwindow never got merged, if you want it you'll have to build for yourself and cherrypick it. There were some remaining issues with the patch we never had time to fix, we got too busy with other stuff, and xplodwild wants to rewrite the whole thing after finding a better way to implement it.

STUCK at bootloader after flash stock ROM from CM13

Hi, so i got problem about installing to stock rom of note 4 5.1.1 . So couple days ago, i start to flash my stock ROM to other ROM such eRobot,sixperience,etc. And i change to CM12 cause i want to try the pure lollipop. So it's work like a charm using the CM12 Treltexx. Then i decide back to eRobot to test something. Then next day i decide back to CM12 because i'm much better using CyanogenMod. Then i'm searching on XDA CM13 for note 4 and i found the RaymanFX CM13 Unofficial. I start download and flash it. I Saw many bug and bored with CM13 then i decide back to eRobot. I try to flash it but it stuck on bootloader. And then i try sixperience, it same again.Ok so my next step is to Reflash it with ODIN. I start flash it again. Once it say "PASS" it start loading with SAMSUNG Boot logo, but is that succesfully go to the OS ? Nope, it's just restart and restart on Samsung boot logo and i can't do anything. I i'll ready try to wide factory reset with Stock recovery but still didn't work. So i decide to reflashing to CM13 that i already backup it on TWRP. IT'S WORK. So the conclusion is ALL ROM DOESN'T WORK EXCEPT CYANOGENMOD. Please help me i'm stuck at CM13 and i want back to the Stock ROM / eRobot, etc.
Ha ha, this is becoming a trend now, please confirm your problem is same as mine (mine is Note 3 but that's not the point),

Same with you, but I got this problem after I flash from CM13 and want back to eRobot / stock ROM
That is exactly what happened with me too brother, I was wanting to go back to stock based ROM from a ported ROM.
Could you try one thing, flash the Bootloader (of the stock ROM) only via Odin at first, then do a battery pull and flash the stock ROM via Odin, see if that does anything or not.

There are 3 ways to fix your problem, they are as follows;
1. Restore your EFS & Radio partition from your backed up using TWRP (if you have backed it up)
2. Go to CM 13 Discussion or CM 13 build 7 thread for more information using ADB Sideload
3. Go to your nearest Samsung Service Center and hoping they will fix it
What you have is corrupted EFS partition because, currently the highest firmware for Note 4 is 5.1.1 (Android L) and you have intentionally use 6.0.1 (Android M), and due to Samsung policy which stated, "you can't revert to your previous firmware once you have upgraded your ROM", therefore any 5.1.1 (Android L) ROM will fail to recognize your EFS. The result of this failure is, inability to load into system except Android M.
I don't know which CM 13 build that you flashed, but all CM 13 ROMs are based on 6.X.X (Android M), hence the name Unofficial Build CM 13 6.0.1 <-- this number means something not just a counter. Unfortunately, there is no cure for error that you have, only 3 ways as I have mentioned above. As fellow CM 13 user, I would suggest you to stay with CM 13 just for safety unless you know what to do if trying to use ways No. 2, the risk of using No. 2 is loosing you IMEI, which can cause your phone to be nothing but paperweight.
I use CM 13 as my daily ROM, and my phone is function smoothly asides from some bugs, but I trust the developers will resolve those with future release. Look at my replies on some CM 13 threads, I have posted some pictures as evidence how CM 13 works on my SM-N910H (Note 4 Exynos). Its lightweight, customize-able, battery friendly and no bloatware. Lots of apps to replace what you have in TW ROM or Stock, and all CM builds are able to recognize Note 4 S-Pen (Stylus).

Upgrade from custom ROM to Android 7.0

Hi guys,
Not sure if this is the right place to post this but unless I am missing something, I have yet to find a thread or instructions on how to do this.
I am on Pure Nexus, but I posted here because I'm guessing the answer applies to virtually any custom ROM. What are the steps involved in upgrading from a custom 6.0 ROM to the newly released Android 7.0? Is there a way to do this while keeping root?
Thanks,

There's roms you can flash, other than that just wait for the images to release and there will be alot options
So if it's a custom ROM based on 7.0 I can go ahead and flash using that specific ROM instructions?
I thought the official 7.0 came out yesterday, that's why I was wondering if I could update to the official and keep root and how to do that.

I'd Mae a backup send it to PC and try tupac4us rom or digitalhighs . They have vendors built in the zip .
I was on Benzo rom and this is exactly what I did; I restored back to stock rom only leaving bootloader unlocked. I joined the Android beta and the N ota was ready to install. I then flashed the latest twrp. I made sure to do a full nandroid and physically backed up anything important to my laptop before I restored to stock. I noticed until I flashed ditialhighs N rom my twrp would not "stick" but no big deal I just flashed it and went into recovery. It seems Android Pay is working with digitialhighs rom, you just toggle off root, use it, toggle back. Good luck
Which guide did you use for restoring to stock while keeping the bootloader unlocked?
i was on pure nexus 6.1 i used this guide to revert everything back to stock then i subscribed to the developer program and got 7.0 update in seconds, section 14 is pretty much all you need

Rooted running a rom, how best to install oreo beta 2

Title says it all. I'm rooted and running Lineage. I want to try the Oreo 2 beta but not sure exactly how to go about it. I've asked a few people and gotten different answers.
Any help is appreciated!!
Best way to do it is flash a stock image so you can revert to the stock boot image and recovery and then sideload the Open Beta 2

ROM question: Upgrading on old OP5 with Android 6 to 10

Sorry in advance if this is a dumb question but I have an old OP5 sitting in a drawer that I'm not using anymore- it's already rooted and running a custom Android 6 ROM that I had flashed.
I was going to give it to a friend but I wanted to flash an Android 10 ROM on it for him before handing it over (he doesn't know how to do this stuff).
I wanted to know if I can wipe the phone, flash a newer version of TWRP and then either OOS 10 or a custom Q ROM, or if I have to flash it to OOS 6, then 7, 8, 9 before I can put an Android 10 ROM on it.
I vaguely remember going 2 versions up on this device before (possibly back in the lollipop era) and if I recall correctly I had to flash the next Android version before flashing to the version after that in order for the custom ROM to work, but it's been a long time. Thanks in advance for any wisdom you can offer.
