Hey everyone. I have an interesting issue. I recently updated my phone to 7.0, but have ultimately decided to give it a bit more time to mature before hopping over. I flashed back the vendor for the September 6.0.1 image, and flashed the latest DU. However, on boot, I am still getting the vendor popup. I double-checked the build number on the ROM, and it is the correct image. I also flashed back the MTC20L bootloader and radio, but am still getting the error. What exactly am I doing wrong? Am I stuck with this vendor error on boot until I flash back to 7.0?

Have you checked when the last DU was updated. Guessing it was August, but their forum should tell you if it's the L or the F build. Personally, I'd go back to MM stock first, but ...

There is a 09/09 build that is 20L. I ultimately did just that, though. Back on 6.0.1 with no problems. Just gotta go through everything again. Thanks again!
EDIT: I am an idiot. It is F and not L. Reflashed to stock and continued to get the error. Flashed the correct vendor and I am back. Pretend this didn't happen.

Hi folks, I've tired to get back into roms today after a few years absence. I've tried 3 roms on my 6P but ResurrectionRemix and Dirty Unicorns won't find any wifi. Cataclysm which I installed in between the two did. RR is also telling me 'theres an internal problem with your device'. I've wiped the normal things and even done a full format. Any ideas?!
Edit: just tired Bliss and that does work?! But I'm getting an error about a vendor image being out of date?

If you even tried reading op of rom threads, you would realise that you have an outdated vendor image. In order for wifi to work on latest roms and get rid of that message, flash latest vendor image ending with "x" and youll be fine. You can flash it in twrp
Thanks. I did flash MTC19X_vendor and I still get the message though?

I have done a bit of research, apparently the vendor image has to be up to date with the ROM but the problem is if I get the ROM dirty unicorn I could not find any vendor image for their ROM version 10.4 latest one. I don't understand whats happening with the system but this WiFi problem has recently occurred to many people.

Flash the Vendor.img for the July security update. Dirty Unicorns 10.4 uses this vendor file. I download the entire factory image each month from Google Nexus factory page and flash what I need. I'm running July DU on my Nexus 5X with no WiFi issues.

Hi everyone, I have a nexus 6p still running 6.0.1 with an unlocked bootloader, I got the notification for the 7.0 update, but I don't know if I can install it with the bootloader unlocked. Is it possible or do I have to lock the bootloader first?
Yes, bootloader can be unlocked. If you have modified system in any way, it may not apply the update though. I.E. if you are using twrp or you changed any system files.

My bootloader has been unlocked since the day I got my 6P. I restored back to stock MM today, flashed the newest TWRP and joined the android beta pgm to get the N OTA. Worked like a charm, no issues whatsoever.

Just so I can make sure I pass on correct info for the future, the OTA installed by itself with twrp installed? Or did you push it via fast boot?
I went a different route and installed Nougat via a ROM (tried both Stock+ and digital Hugh's versions), so for me it was hardly any different than installing any other ROM.

Yes to the OTA installed with twrp installed, it rebooted into the twrp recovery and then did some patches, etc. rebooted updated apps and hello nougat! I did have to reflash twrp after I booted back up, it did wipe it out.
I was debating about flashing digital Hugh's rom, how do you like it so far?
Good to know, thanks.
I've used aosp based Roms for so long, stock took a little getting used to. But I don't know if I will be going back to aosp now.
Digitalhigh's ROM is very smooth, and it's setup "out of the box" to allow root and android pay (albeit you have to toggle root off when you want to use AP). That's one feature I've always missed out on W aosp.
That said, there are a couple small issues some people are experiencing, clock updating the time only every 3-5min, and some having issues with vipermod not working system wide. I haven't experienced any of those. Plus he's already working on an update to allow for centered status bar clock as well as some other features.
I personally recommend giving it a shot if you want Nougat, worst that happens is you have to nandroid restore a backup.
*Edit* and he already has the night mode built into it, as well as the new nexus launcher if I'm not mistake.
Wouldn't let me attach this in an edit for some reason. That's with 4 hours screen on time, only reason you see that little charging bump is i was backing up a few files to my PC.
Thanks for the answers, just tried to update and everything was installed :good:

Thanks for the detailed reply, you may have pushed me over the edge and I may give it a try. Ive been on Benzo rom across my last 3 phones and got used to all the goodies. But using 7 the last day I find it; very fast, been a fan of Pay when it worked with systemless, can't comment on battery yet but seems decent. I may give it a day or 2 and flash digitialhighs rom, it seems like it gives me Pay with minor hassle and is close to stock. Again thanks.
I've flashed Nougat bootloader,radio, vendor, etc and currently I'm on Benzo. I was wondering is it possible to flash a MM ROM on nougat firmware. Will flashing a MM vendor IMG on nougat work?

Yes to question #1. Radio and bootloader can be used interchangeably.
No for question #2, your phone will not boot if you run MM vendor on N rom. The opposite also applies, N vendor will not work on MM rom.

I'm content with MM right now (addicted to xposed) but if you want to run both you could head over to the MultiROM thread. A couple of users said they're using N as the primary rom and MM on secondary. Then I believe you can swap secondary to primary. Just a thought.
***of course this involves some research. I've been using MultiROM since last spring with no issues at all but haven't tried N yet.

In short, if you want N & you want to run Pure Nexus you should sit tight. PN will be updated to N soon (hopefully this weekend).
This will be the simplest way. You can always go back, its just not always convenient (using pc or mac with fastboot)

Not sure...where do you wanna be? AFAIK theres nothing wrong with N. Only reason Im not there is cuz xposed hasnt got there yet. If youre content, stay there. Like I said, keep checking the PN thread to see if the new build arrives.
If your asking me how to go back to MM, Id use fastboot and flash the factory images (go to complete stock) start over, flash twrp, root then flash your preferred M rom.
Its a bit of a hassle but in the long run youll have less hassles (bugs and whatnot)

no problem. And like I said. Keep checking the PN thread. If youre staying on N it's probably gonna be the gold standard for 6p roms
Update--but if you want a suggestion I think WETA is good. It's got all the sound mods built in so you don't have to flash Viper, Dolby atmos etc.
Hey guys,
Android 7.1.1 factory image for shamu is live now :laugh:

Same bootloader, but a new radio
ADB sifeloaded the OTA update and lost night mode.
Not getting it back with night mode enabler. But 7.1.1 wohoo!
Boot image is the same? So basically we can just flash the system, radio. If we are on 7.0?
I would reflash, what is supposed to be different here?
:good:
:fingers-crossed:
If we don't want to lose data. Or encrypt the phone in the past I just flashed the system IMG abf the radio
I have not flashed yet. I will report back tomorrow when i flash it.
I'm on NItrogen 7.1.1 will this new update give me anything different from the obvious basics and Nitrogen ROM can't? I'm just wondering if I should bother flashing.
The only thing you may want to flash is the new radio. Otherwise, wait for NitrogenOS to be updated rather than installing a stock ROM, as you'd gain nothing from installing the stock ROM.
Some issues. On ATT USA. Flashed stock 7.1.1. When making calls the audio keeps dropping in and out. Almost as if I don't have a good signal. But my signal bars are almost full LTE. I even tried changing from LTE to 3G only. same call audio issues. Also when I call my voicemail, it doesn't recognize my voicemail PIN!!!!!!!
Flashed back to stock 7.0 and everything works properly again. Call audio is good and voicemail pin is recognized.
Any ideas?
Question for people who have flashed 7.1.1 already -- did you also get the Support tab in Settings? I wonder why did they add it, considering the phone is now obsolete.

I'm coming from a long time back (HTC rezound). I had an M8, moved to nexus 6 (1.5 years ago when Best Buy had them on sale) and regularly read the forums. It seems that encryption is always an issue with the stock roms, and any stock will overwrite what you have. I personally don't have a problem with encryption on the N6.

Just download the no encryption zip after the ROM that's her in the n6 forums and you won't encrypt
I've flashed it and seems to work apart from this... I added in the pixel 3 launcher into system and the apps shortcuts were blank. I rebooted and now the app shortcuts have gone. Any ideas?
What the advantage of the new Radio?
Happy New Year everyone!
I am out of ideas, I hope you could help me. I tried to flash and install Lineage OS on my Moto X Style.
Unlocking bootloader went fine, I installed new TWRP 3.2.1.0 and so far it was OK. I flashed LineageOS nightly from 25 Dec with GApps but it won't boot. I have booting animation and from time to time there is very short vibration, just fraction of a second every 3-4 sec. I left the phone for an hour, still stuck on booting animation. I tried to wipe data/cache, tried several other builds from December- all have the same issue. I proceed to other ROMs, all behave in the same way, infinite bootloop. I went to find some solutions on XDA, but nothing seems to work.
I tried restore from backup: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/nougat-stock-rom-moto-x-style-xt1572-t3718460 Did not work, I still had booting animation form Lineage OS, even that it suppose to be stock rom.
I try below method to restore stock rom: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...de-return-to-stock-relock-bootloader-t3489110
With this firmware: https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto X Style/Stock/XT1572/ and android 7.0 But I constantly have error msg: "(bootloader) Preflash validation failed FAILED (remote failure)"
I tried to look for solutions but at this point it starts to getting quite too difficult to grasp what should I try next, I do not want to brick the phone for good.
Could you please give me any advice and suggestions? I have Lineage OS on three other devices, never had this type of issues before.
which firmware you were on when you unlocked bootloader and flashed Lineage? Marshmallow or Nougat?

It wasn't only the TWRP issue. From Marshmallow to Nougat was a major update for our device. Once upgraded to Nougat the data partition format is F2FS am not sure, but hope you get my point.
Developers had to compile ROMs based on this new updated Kernel, Modem and Vendor.
I have been using this unofficial builds for a week now and they are stable. No major bugs.
You can also flash the official Nougat firmware image over fastboot, in case you you wanna go back to Stock.
In case you want to try this old ROMs, you have to flash Marshmallow modem and then it will boot.
