DP5 beta - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My simple question is going from marshmallow to the developer preview 5, currently I am at work and cannot backup my data I am full stock, so does the ota for the beta wipe my data?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA-Developers mobile app

No it doesn't. Well, at least the other builds didn't.
For some reason, my phone won't grab dp5. It says I'm up to date. Anyone else have this issue?

I'm in the same situation: my Nexus 6P doesn't seem to find the update.
On the developper preview page, it says it might take 24hrs to get it, but we're past that now.
I guess I'll just have to be patient!

I downloaded the ota zip file from the internet and just flashed it. Something interesting is happening. The Clock app is there but it isn't. I can't actually open it, but when I try to install it from the Play Store (there is a green box allowing the download, it doesn't say "update" or "open" btw) it says it's unable to install. Downloading and installing the apk from the internet returns an error that says theres a package already on my phone with by the same name. Looking through the system apps and my own user apps, the clock app is nowhere to be found.
So that's an issue I'm having, but I clean installed dev preview 5, I didn't take an update or anything

for me I opted in for the beta and I got the DP5 beta straight away now im stuck with another issue went home from work to backup my data and now my windows 7 computer is not finding my device first it came up as unknown device no updates for driver. After uninstalling all relevant drivers my device is not being found at all with the mtp selected. I may have to reinstall the sdk and check if adb picks it up if so I may have to reconfigure my windows 7 drivers if not ill check on a netbook to see if my cable or my charger port is malfunctioning.
Still on marshmallow if any advice please feel free to reply
thank you

From what I read there are some issues with dp5 specifically for the 6p they are working on it. That is why we haven't gotten the OTA. I would not side load as you will have issues with it. If you did sidload I would go back to 4 or else opt out of the dev program and roll back to marshmallow and wait till the issue is fixed and opt back in to get dp5.

So you did not install the dp5 yet? Don't I hear there are issues with it. That is why it hasn't come to other peoples phone yet. And did you try different USB ports? I sometimes have a problem with one but not the others and it changes like USB ports are moody or something

What issues are they having with dp5 should I flash it or wait untill I can backup my data or should I just scratch it and unroll for the beta? Because I need to backup my data first. Also the issue with it not connecting could be just a Driver issue so I'll have to double check it when I get home
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA-Developers mobile app

I don't know what the issues are I was reading a post about dp5 being available and in the comments section a few people were saying they didn't get it for the 6p and a few people said there was issues with it so that's why Google hasn't sent it out over the air yet. I think there is a way to delete the OTA you downloaded. Then just wait for it to come back when they send it out. Also if you got it right away it may actually be dp4 since dp5 is not over the air yet. Again I read this on the comment section of a post so how true it all is I do not know I was going to side load but before I did I wanted to know why it wasn't here yet and that's what I found out so I will just wait for it to come OTA. As for your USB problem maybe try reinstalling the Google drivers.

Recovery
anton22_99 said:
I installed DP5 and everything went fine.
Only one thing isn't working, recovery. When I select Recovery I get the Android passed out with a red exclamation mark on it's belly. "No command" is displayed.
I installed twrp-3.0.2-0-angler.img, but this one got stuck in the TWRP home screen.

I just read that someone opted in after dp5 was out and they received dp4 so if you want to update you can you should get dp4 then when 5 is sent out you will get an update for that too. Dp4 is very stable I have been on it since it was out and have almost no problems whatsoever.

Yeah anyway tried two more computers with the drivers and no go it states unknown USB device, I may need a reset ill have to push my files using airdroid check the md5 hash and then push them over to see if there is no corruption. Maybe a factory reset might help that's gna be my first try after backing my data.

Android 6.0.1 Factory Images And Binaries For The Pixel C is out!

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#ryu
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/drivers#dragon
Is the MXB48J just an older version than MXB48K? Or are they for different hardware?
i'm not sure what is happening with the images. it could be one is u.s.a. and one is international. i've read that upon first boot there is an OTA so it might be one 48j was from factory the 48k is the new update. but i do not think it would be a newer hardwre situation. the binaries are 48k though soit might be a hardware thing. perhaps keyboard related. again complete guessing on my part.
I'm on 48J after getting the 58mb OTA on first boot, got the Pixel C yesterday(I'm in the UK). No system update available to 48k as yet?
Sent from my Pixel C using XDA Premium HD app
I'm also on j, got mine today and during setup it did an ota. I'm in the us
Also now on J in the UK after a small OTA update.
Any news on kernel sources / device tree?
Who have OTA links?
New factory image has been posted for the February security update. Anybody wanna flash it and see if they've fixed the touchscreen and wifi issues?
I'll flash this later today, hopefully it is still compatible with our current boot images.

Since Google skipped the Jan update for the Pixel I really hope this one has the fixes for touchscreen etc
Hopefully a Dev can jump in on this and find out.

There wss no OTA to 48K it was a developer build not released to the public other than a factory image.
I just did a Clean flash of the latest factory image and at least for me my wifi is back to normal!!! More testing will be required to see if its really fixed but just ran speedtest and looks promising

Yeah it was easy. I did speak to soon. The issue is not completely fixed. Before I was getting 5 mbps down and 80 up. Now I'm getting 20 down and 80 up. Better, but not fixed. That is on 2.4ghz, 5ghz is fine.

The wifi i've never had an issue with tbh and i'm on my 2nd tab.
it was the touchscreen fixes I was looking for but as of yet I haven't heard anything. dunno if I cba unlocking the bootloader etc or waiting for someone to grab the OTA link.
since im off stock recovery i cant apply OTA's if they come out cant I?
Just tried to flash the new update (30 seconds boot delay? WTF!) and it kept failing at the bootloader stage :/
Just relocked it. Guess i'm waiting.

That is correct. You need stock recovery (along with all the other stock partitions), or the OTA flash will fail everytime. Whenever I want to update, I just flash all the images (except Userdata) from the new factory image that Google posts. That way, I don't have to wait for the OTA.

can someone post the update the sd slot on my phone stopped working after trying at least 3 microsd cards, i decided maybe if i flashed the older firmware it would start working again needless to say it didnt work and now my phone wont boot and everytime i try to flash a firmware i keep getting an error that says "sw rev check fail : {abort}fused 4 < binary 2" can someone help me out on this please
The good news is it is fixable, you just need the exact firmware you were using before (or newer.) It sets a version number in the bootloader and the firmware you downloaded has a lower version.
Unfortunately, I've been trying to find that same new firmware for 3 days now with no luck. (Keep reading though!) I'm trying to switch a tmo over to att, and since its going to be a work phone they insist it have the att firmware in 'official' mode - fortunately, they don't care what the paint on the back says.
If someone with that firmware posts the 'Firmware' page from Phone INFO ★Samsung★ I might be able to get it. (And if I do, I'll send it over - much more reliable than the official recovery method.)
You may have already lost everything on the phone, but I hope you were prepared for that. You might be able to fix the softbrick (resulting in it being 100% stock) with 'samsung smart switch' (win/mac) using 'emergency device recovery'. It will ask for your model number (SM-G935A) and serial # and then it will download and odin-flash the firmware for you.
I say 'might' because I tried that for the tmo phone last night and it eventually just crashed.
Forgive any weird disjointed text, it is early in the morning.. if some part of that didn't make sense let me know.

The firmware is available, but the source is questionable. As you discovered, ATT does not post their ROMs (just one more reason why they are THE Evil Empire).
Most are getting their files from a Persian site:
http://dl.pars-hamrah.com/ (switch to English)
And the G935A PI2 files are here:
http://dl.pars-hamrah.com/index.php...ATT4API2_USA ATT Android 6.0.1_4File Firmware
Premium fee is required for download and I have not looked into the cost. I have read that they are legit, but who knows...
Found it on clangsm.com as well, which is just as sketchy. I'll see what I can do, might have enough info with the filenames (and might not..)
Edit: Might just be too early in the morning (I'll try later tonight) but the info I need is definitely on that page from the phone info app. (I'm not doing anything magic, just trying a couple of apps.)
Alternately if someone wants to PM me an AT&T serial number (not the imei! always think REALLY hard about saying no if anyone asks for that!) I can see about listening in on the smart switch recovery.
It be great if you found it. Be nice to start from Sept firmware.

Mine got buggered after the att update which I stupidly said yes to half asleep at 3am in the morning, the update does not play well with rooted phones, just hangs at the att logo and cooks the phone (got real hot real fast). I bought it last week after I melted my work phone.
Crap, i'll pm it it here, I lost your number with the melted phone.
Lol. Thanks! (Got it.)
I'll horribly abuse my w10 vm tonight and try to capture the info. If not he can get me the other info (and if all of that fails I might be out of ideas but we'll see.)

Missed this the first time through but you should be able to use Odin on the files posted above.
Sent from my SM-N930T using Tapatalk
Confirmed worked flawlessly with Odin3 v3.12
My steps for updating and saving data/config:
0) Unfreeze all system apps
1) FlashFire backup to external SD card, make sure to backup /data and /internal storage along with /system in case you need to roll back.
2) Boot to Download, use Odin 3.12 (the unmodified version) to flash the 4 OE FW files
3) Let the phone fully boot, go through the basic setup, go to settings, enable USB/ADB debug and unknown sources
4) Reboot into Download, flash Eng bootloader with the PrinceComsy Odin
5) After phone reboots and starts, run root
6) "Enable SuperSU during boot"
7) Install FlashFire, grant root
8) Flash fixes/debloat, let the phone boot, reboot for good measure (I find that the extra reboot contributes to success)
9) After reboot, flash Xposed, etc.
10) FlashFire restore backup
11) After the phone boots, refreeze system apps
12) Profit.
OMG!
I can't even begin to thank you for sharing these files. I thought I was going to be without a phone for a little while. You are clutch!
Did Sammobile stop carrying USA firmware? It looks like there is no good way to download and manually update the firmware on any USA Samsung devices now.
I was looking for this firmware and had no luck, so I went and check a few other devices I have and NONE of them are on Sammobile anymore... WTF is going on. why would they pull all of the USA firmware off their site and not provide any news release about it.

[update] l04c567b388

Looks to be a minor update, but at least they're still thinking about us
States EMUI version 5.0.1
Android version 7.0
Android security patch level August 5, 2017
So far, the main change I have noticed is the addition of a "Moving Picture" mode to the camera app, which is similar to the Live Photos you would find on iOS.
Also, it seems they have added an automatic video creation "Highlights" feature to the Gallery app, utilizing Quik video editor. Not sure if this was already included in previous versions.

U have stock recovery and boot right? Flash the recovery and boot image of B385 and then from recovery factory reset ur phone. After that try and see if u can update ur device. Also if u wish to lock ur bootloader then hit download latest full package.

Well I got the phone about a week ago and just activated my new tmo sim card last night to get cell service on it so I'm probably not the best judge of whether any performance changes occurred. Based on the change log I wasn't expecting much though.
FYI I'm still completely stock, locked bootloader for now if that made any difference in the delivery of the update.

U have stock recovery and boot right? Flash the recovery and boot image of B385 and then from recovery factory reset ur phone. After that try and see if u can update ur device. Also if u wish to lock ur bootloader then hit download latest full package.

Thanks for the explanation. This is the route I had to take. I have FRD-L04. I was on B385 with TWRP and Magisk 14.0. Unrooting and flashing boot.img and recovery.img from 385 did not help to install the new update. I keep getting the same error of Package failed. No matter what I seemed to try nothing worked.
So, this sucks, but, I factory reset. Then RE-locked bootloader. Then, I had to download *latest full package* otherwise I still received same error. But, now I am on B388 and i'm going to try flashing TWRP and installing Magisk now.
Live photos seems interesting. Pretty excited about that.
Question to anyone who got the update, any changes in battery life?

Note 8 Oreo

Hey guys thought I could start this any news on Oreo coming to T-Mobile Note 8?? Post all news here thanks guys
I asked tmobile and samsung mobile I was redirected to support page for os Nougat on tmobile website.. Nothing else new.
Samsung announced that the Note 8 will get Oreo, the time line has not been said.
Oreo Beta
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyNote8/comments/7ibsip/android_oreo_ota_this_is_real/
Been running this since yesterday. Only issue I've come across is that I can't allow unknown sources. Other than that it's ok so far. Truly nothing groundbreaking about it compared to the latest official update.

I installed the Oreo beta and don't like it. Want to go back to stable. I downloaded the original firmware AQH9 and have tried flashing in ODIN, but am getting a SHA256 failure error...
EDIT: Solved by using newer BQJA firmware to flash back to.
Oreo is running great! I didnt even have to use ODIN. (2) Update.zip(s) and a Factory Reset and i am good to go!

Samsung Connect seems to have a bug and Android webview keeps force closing but Oreo Beta seems pretty cool otherwise..

Some Substratum theme options weren't yet working. A few random force closes. Security Log agent messages from some apps. Lag in the notification shade when playing Spotify (so possibly any media). It's not like Oreo is a big upgrade, so I'm not in a rush to get it.

I just got this phone two days ago and have been away from the forums for over 2 years. Root is available for BQJA if I read correctly. Is that right? I just want root for substratum. Downloaded it from the Play Store and it's offering me to buy an add on for "supported Samsung"

You don't need root for Substratum. The $1.99 add-on does work and is probably required.

You can, but only by using the built in "my files" app.. Also go to settings>apps then tap the dots in the top right and tap special access and look at the bottom of the list. Do you see install unknown apps?
I hope they fix the theming issues, half of the icons get the stupid white border/frame. even when you turn off icon frames its stays. its the biggest reason why I switched back. This Beta is really stale this year. I have it on my s8 to and I'm not really impressed
Deleted, nvm. Lol

Safaty net fail fix?

I need to get safety net to pass so I can get google pay working. Any idea on how to get it fix and working. I am on international rom, but the phone is a tmobile one. I am not rooted or have a bootloader unlocked.

Ironically, to fix Saftey Net, Unlock Your Bootloader, Root your phone and then use Saftey Patch Magisk Module. Or if you don't wanna do that, then wait for an Update.
That is something I don't want to do. Am not comfortable doing it. The issue was everything was working fine before I updated to 10 and now it is not.

It's a known issue on 10 that safetynet doesn't pass. I had to root mine and patch it with magsik. Once done everything is good. The next update hopefully will fix it.

Do you recommend an easy step by step guide on how to unlock, root and then apply magisk patch?
Thank you in advance.
Today's update didn't fix it either. OnePlus is really dropping the ball these days. I'm pretty disappointed.

This seems to be not related to OP - it is now a TMobile issue. We will need to wait till TMobile will release A10 and certify it for their phones. Then it should magically start working for our converted devices.

I get what you mean, but I think that this is a problem with oneplus because there is lots of treads that talk about the 6 failing the test and not allowing google pay to work.

Sounds about right...Last time I get a phone from T-Mobile. I wanted to get the 7T Pro McLaren Edition but it seems it will only be available through T-Mobile and not from OnePlus. Guess I'll wait and see what they offer with the 8 series. If OP handles the 8's like they did the 7's I might have to move on. Plus they seem to have forgotten about this phone on their own site as far as software...The downloads are still Pie.

Right, but if you ask these guys who complained about this problem - they will tell you that they have TMobile converted phone. At least people I asked

Well, technically speaking yes. I am not sure how certification works - is it just image fingerprint (OS) or it is device ID + OS fingerprint.
But the fact is - TMObile converted phones are not certified by Google for A10, while the international OP6T are certified.
If anybody can explain how certification is works - please do. I always thought it is just an OS Fingerprint in build.prop , but it seems I was wrong.
i just installed that magisk module and ran the props through termux and changed my oneplus6t id to whatever is in the list for oneplus6t 10 and all is now well with CTS
if not rooted the way to pass would reset the phone in stock recovery or flash a fastboot rom of that version

Do you remember what ID you had before applying the magisk fix?
So I guess ID is generated when you install ROm based on hardware key and ROm fingerprint.

I looked around the program to try to back up my ID and i didn't see the option. so i figured it wasn't important. I just went through the list until i found the oneplus 6t 10 option and i typed yes and rebooted. and then CTS passed.
