Hello, I want to flash the 7.0 update yet I'm uncertain as to which build I'm supposed to use. I'm currently on MTC19T but don't know which I'm supposed to use from the factory images " 7.0.0 (NRD90T)" or "7.0.0 (NRD90U) ".
I'm currently on PureNexus ROM with ElementalX kernel.
This is about the Nexus 6P.
Use the latest (NRD90U).
I was wondering if you're on a custom 6.0.1 ROM (DU for example) if you can just clean flash up to a 7.0 ROM? Or do you need to first do a flash-all.bat of the NRD90U from google or something like that? Idk how simple moving up to nougat is.

You can clean flash a 7.0 rom, however you need to flash the matching 7.0 vendor.omg as well.

Flash the 5.0.1 factory image with fastboot. Then flash the twrp image with fastboot. Then flash supersu in twrp. You'll have 5.0.1 with root.

Just make a backup of any files that you need then download and install Wugfresh toolkit and select to install stock rom and then just click at Root button.
Just a few clicks and u r done.

Personally I would recommend any android 4.4.4 rom. Stock or custom is your choice.
All android versions after 5.0 doesn't performe good over longer times on the grouper.
I am using purity rom.
I have red that the unofficial slim rom 9.0 was just updated with patched stagefright.

yeah i would go for 4.4.4 as the device is unusable sometime on 5.1.1

Never heard that you can't downgrade. I was on 5.1.1 and I am now on 4.4.4.
I used wugs nexus root kit or how it is called and went back to 4.4.4.
I hadn't any problems.

You can give it a try. Just have all drivers installed and running and all should be fine.
Are you currently on stock?
If not and you are running a custom rom you can install a custom 4.4.4 rom via custom recovery.
yeah i have always used this device on Stock Rom
just flashed 4.4.4 using wugfresh and now device has become so quick like the way i bought Thanks for the help anything you would like to tell
What's the verdict on new marshmallow roms? Any good or still too new to tell?
AOSP 6.0 is running much better than 5.1.x on grouper, but there are still some minor issues you need to accept
- autorotate stops working after deep sleep
- sound some times stops (can be fixed be inserting a headset for a short time)
- sometimes a bit laggy, but much much better than 5.1.1

nexus 7 2012 will be update to 6.0 by google?
I think best version is 4.4.4, bu, i have some issues on USB dac, because i use on my car. Original lolipop + root + kernel oxydorevamp works fine (most time).
@rgp95: I was referring to the AOSP version provided by Dmitri Grinberg which can be flashed on your own risk.
I saw that there was a update being pushed for my phone and its marshmallow 6.0.1. I currently have my phone rooted+bootloader unlocked and custom rom trupurexmm 2.4 installed, will I be able to receive this update automatically? Or do I have to undo all this stuff I did to my phone? What are the improvements with 6.0.1?

You definitely can't take the OTA, or it won't succeed anyway, with a custom ROM/recovery. You would have to go back to stock. As far as improvement or changes, I don't know.
Are you sure it's 6.0.1? How do you know that?can't find anything regarding 6.0.1

CyanogenMod is on 6.0.1 I believe. Not a whole lot of info on it that I could find, but I do know that you should NOT take that OTA if you're rooted, etc... Just wait for TruPureXMM to be updated and include it if it doesn't already.

Been busy, still have not unlocked/rooted my 6P.
I've got the OTA for N 7.0 waiting to install - is there anything that will screw me up from fastboot flashing back to a previous image if I take the OTA to 7.0 and then do the fastboot flashing unlock and unlock the phone while on 7.0.
I'm guessing it should be like all Nexus devices still where you can always go back, but I have noticed some people having issues when trying to downgrade. If it trips anything up I'll wait, but if I can take the OTA and then unlock, rooting, downgrade, upgrade, ROM, etc as usual, I'll give N a go first.

You should be able to do everything you said in your post. I've done the same things multiple times with no problems whatsoever. That's the beauty of a Nexus device.
10-4. Previous Nexus experience with the n7 2013 was that way, just had seen some people having brick issues while trying to downgrade

That was due to TWRP 3.0.2-1 having a bug restoring EFS partitions. If you are fastboot flashing a factory MM image, you should be fine.

Since you're stock, locked and unrooted... YMMV
On multiple forums, it was suggested that right vendor.img should work for downgrade
I installed Android 7 Nougat by flashing WETA 8 ROM on unlocked bootloader
To revert to Marshmallow, I was able flash the vendor.img along with radio.img and bootloader.img and then MM ROM from https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=88221

in my past experience with fastboot flashes, I never messed with any vendor.img. Is this a new thing?
My thought was to hop to 7.0, give it a run, and if necessary I would factory reset and fastboot flash myself back to 6.0.1. All stock, then go from there.

I too learnt about the vendor.img recently
The dev for WETA ROM included this in change log : "WETA V5.0 *reflashing vendor.img is essential for this update"
Since you are on stock ROM, would this for you?

Vendor has been a thing all through MM, too. It includes binaries that allow Android to run and is updated with each new build. So, every ROM or monthly security update requires a matching vendor to work.

10-4, but it just accompanies all the other images with each build stack? I DL'd 6.0.1 and looks like it's in there.
Big problems if you mismatch vendor.img and other img builds?

Yes, vendor is in each build of factory image. Many on here can't be bothered flashing from bootloader so they wait for someone to make a zip. If you have a mismatched vendor, you will get an error message on boot and your phone will likely exhibit anything from FCs of apps to bootloops to whatever.

I'm on SuperXE 8.0 Oreo ROM with latest Franco kernel and I'm curious if down grading is as simple as full wipe, flash Nougat vendor, flash ROM, Gapps, Kernel, root?

Should be yes. If the sensors do not work properly then you'll have to wipe the entire phone.
