upgrading from 6.0 to 7.0 - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone I'm trying to go from 6.0 to 7.0 but I keep having so many issue with all ROMs I try crashing what are the proper steps to upgrading

This should be in the q&a thread

They're probably crashing due to the updated vendor and other images. I always update manually with Heisenberg's guide in the general forum. It's stickied. I would update manually with fastboot and then flash a custom 7.0 ROM if you wish.

Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!
Sorry for my ignorance...
but I can't understand if is it possible to flash a kitkat yotaphone 2 with this image,
or can I use it only if I already received the OTA lollipop update?
In Italy we're still waiting for lollipop!!
thank you so much!
P.S.: lollipop kernel source code request sent to yotaphone
Consider yourself to be lucky, as there are a number of ppl reporting battery drain with lollipop. Maybe you get a patched version by the time it hits your country.

There's a fair chance it would work with a kitkat device too, but I haven't tested that. To minimize risk, just boot the recovery once, (instead of flashing). For kitkat there's also at least one other way to root: with Kingoroot.
Edit: to be clear: the recovery image is not a complete ROM, so while it might work on kitkat to help root it by flashing SuperSU with it, it won't automatically upgrade your device to lollipop... Guess you'll have to wait or obtain a fota zip from somewhere (no, I don't have any for you . Thx for submitting a kernel source request, hope more people do the same
OTA update problem?
A few minutes ago I received a system update (with some buxfixes for EPD widgets etc.). Download was ok, but the installation didn't work.
Error: /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system has been remounted R/W; reflash device to reenable OTA updates; Error in /cache/update/yotaphone2-user-EU1.1.44-from-EU1.39.zip (Status 7); Installation aborted.
So with a rooted Yotaphone 2 (with Lollipop) I can still download but not install OTA updates, right? Can I integrate these updates manually somehow? But OTA update from Kitkat to Lollipop worked fine although it was rooted?!
Edit: "fastboot oem unlock" before using the modified recovery to root the phone is the problem and it's currently impossible to lock it again, correct?
Edit2: It seems I tried the same things as Jeopardy. So the solution is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61451450&postcount=22

You'd have better luck asking this question in the thread for the recovery you're using.
This thread will be reported as it doesn't belong in the development section. However, I'll give you some time to post your question in the relevant thread first.

Hello!
Why did you not look at the guides section of this forum before asking - that's BASIC forum etiquette!
Please do that, there's a pinned (!) guide for unlocking the bootloader and installing twrp, so you don't even have to search.
So next time please do search and not just claim to do so (searching requires actual looking) and don't start another useless thread.
Regards
PS if you're absolutely clueless, ask in the noob friendly thread (again, pinned).

I already looked to that guides, infact I used them to install twrp and root when I was on nougat or oreo, because they are guides that were created in nougat or oreo times or, best, they clearly state for what version they're right. But reguarding android pie I have not found anything by "date" or by "clear reference to pie"... Have I been clear?

Nothing has changed, it still works, as I myself can confirm (just did it last week, when camera started freezing on me, going back from an Android 10 ROM - flashed stock Oreo via lgup, upgraded, installed twrp via fastboot, rooted, np).
But to reiterate... Why exactly didn't you ask in the corresponding thread? Sorry, but I'm a stickler for uncluttered forums.
