Hi guys,
My Nexus 6p got softbricked.
I have access to fastboot and stock recovery.
My bootloader is locked.
To fix this, I'm attempting to find the OTA zip that i can flash to revert to 6.0.1 from Nougat build: NRD90U
Can anyone help?

You need to download the factory image not the OTA. You will need to save your internal storage. This will return your phone to 6.0.1.

I tried that but I get errors since the bootloader is locked

Nexus Root Toolkit is your solution.
I tried the toolkit, i couldn't find the exact OTA zip made to revert build NRD90U to marshmallow.
I kept getting errors sideloading OTA (either error: status 7 or signature verification failed)

Did you follow the steps to unlock the bootloader as described on the page ?

1. Use the toolkit to only instal drivers.
2. On the Google site all OTA files are full updates, you can flash any of them, you don't need it in order
3. My advice, don't go back to Marshmallow, but flash the OTA for the 7.1 preview, it's more stable, and uses less battery than 7.0
The official OTA images:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/ota#angler
The preview OTA image:
https://developer.android.com/preview/download-ota.html
When i attempt to flash the OTA, this is what I get:

E: Footer is wrong
Update package verifiable took 0.5 s (result 1)
E: Signature verification failed
Installation aborted.

If your BL is locked and you haven't enabled OEM unlocking and debugging, you are out of luck. You are effectively hard bricked.

You can flash an OTA even if the bootloader is locked. It seems that the download was unsuccessful, and the file is corrupted. Try to download it again.

He can't use an OTA to revert to MM from N, which is what he is trying to do. And, he could only take an OTA normally or via ADB sideload. Flashing via fastboot wouldn't work.
I tried both: flash.all.bat through Fastboot and sideload a zip through adb in stock recovery... neither worked for me

Hello guys
I recently unrooted my nexus 7 device because I really want to upgrade to 4.2.1. I tried every possible way. My deice is unrooted, so I tried to update my it from settings, but it goes into custom recovery and saya...

So I said ok, it doesn't work, so I found the most recent update for the nexus 7 and downloaded it, went to custom recovery, found teh file and tried to update it manually.... This is what is said..

Just download the firmware direct from Google and flash it using fastboot. Easiest and most reliable method, though you do need an unlocked bootloader.

Can you please explain in detail?
From Google meaning their website? or from settings on the Nexus 7? and what do you meant by a bootloader? which bootloader should I use?
I'm not sure but i think if you want to take ota it might need stock recovery to install and to update manually from custom recovery I think you need the BIG update from 4.1.2 JO??? to 4.2 JO40C as the update from JO40C to 4.2.1 JOP40D is incremental if I'm not mistaken....also you may need to update clockwork mod
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Download the update to your device(it's hosted on these boards) reboot your machine into recovery, and install from zip. It's the way many of us update our devices. There was no need to unroot your device. Your OTA failed to install because of the custom recovery you're using.

I've got the same issue.
CWMRecovery says the same thing when I want to update by OTA.
I tried to install manually the ZIP file (/cache) by copying it in my /sdcard with CWMR but I had the same script.
I'm rooted, in 4.2 (logic) with CWMR 6.0.1.9 no touch.
Do I have to restore stock recovery or a sideload flash (or fastboot) would work ?

Follow the above link. It walks you through downloading a factory image from google and using fastboot to install it, regardless of what you may have done to your device. Also, if you are doing this, you can go ahead and use the latest image if you want, which puts you at 4.2.
enjoy. :good:

Hi all,
I've never unlocked my device, rooted, or anything else. I'm on the latest official 4.4.4. I tried to download the official 5.0 release (mantaray LRX21P from KTU84P) but I keep getting errors using Wug's Toolkit. Once it finishes pushing the file, booting modified images and TWRP, I choose to flash the zip but I get the error "error executing updater binary in zip."
Is there a way to get around this without wiping all my data by unlocking the bootloader?
If you have never unlocked your bootloader then unlocking it will definitely wipe your data. There is no way around it.

Thanks for responding.
But if I wait for the random rolling out of the update by Google, I won't lose my data, correct?

You are correct as an OTA (Over The air) update does not wipe out user data or unlock your bootloader. I assume you were going to unlock your bootloader because you wanted to root your device. If not then wait for the OTA for v5.0 update.
I am having this same problem but my bootloader is unlocked. I managed to get 5 on by pushing the factory image with fastboot but everytime I try to flash any rom or gapps in recovery I get symlink failure messages and error executing script. I'm tried twrp 2.8.1.0 and 2.0 as well as cwm 6.0.4.7.
Edit: Just noticed twrp 2.8.3.0 was available. Tried that and no symlink errors.
I was curious if there is a way to take an ota on my stock rooted 6P with TWRP recovery.
I presume flashing the ota zip won't work if system has been modified in any way, however I did use systemless root... Can I flash the ota zip in TWRP?
P.S. I'm familiar with the fastboot process, done it quite a few times. Just curious if I'm going to have to do that each month for a security update.

The OTA installer looks at system, boot, and recovery. If there is any modification from stock, it will abort installation. So as long as you want to run with TWRP and a rooted system, you will have to fastboot flash the factory image files.
Is there somewhere where I can find the ota zip? I'm still stock.

Unlocked bootloader has no effect. Build.prop edits will cause OTA install to abort.

No. OTA can only be ADB sideloaded via stock recovery.
Been looking through the root guide and of course will be unlocking and rooting. Should I first unlock, flash TWRP, load stock. Set up stock with my accounts and settings. Reboot to TWRP. Make NAND back up. Then root and then flash a rom? I'm still confused about the library IMG file. Will I need to do anything with it assuming the phone I receive was manufactured within the last 2 months?
Any other tips/suggestions would be much appreciated.

If you plan on unlocking bootloader, do that first. Device has to be wiped clean when doing so.
update to the March MHC19I update before modifying the system partition. It'll save you the headache of doing it via fastboot and re-rooting.

Unlock bootloader then upgrade to latest FW by OTA (or vice versa?), then flash TWRP and nandroid. Now root.
Great. I hope the OTA will pop up as soon as possible or is there a way to manually search for updates through system settings? By the way, thank you everyone.

Unlock your bootloader, then take the OTA(s) to the latest build (MHC19I). You can't take an OTA with TWRP installed so don't flash that first. If for some reason the OTA doesn't appear you can just flash the factory images for the latest build in order to update. Once you're fully up to date you can flash TWRP and make a nandroid backup. Then just flash whatever ROM you want to use. Keep in mind that after flashing the ROM + gapps you also need to flash the appropriate vendor image to suit the build of the ROM you're flashing. You can flash it with fastboot, or use the "install image" option in bottom-right corner of the install menu in TWRP (TWRP can flash some images now).
I have detailed instructions in my guide:

Hi!
I'm looking for a way to either root/twrp v1.2.0b02 (coming from stock files), or a way to apply the ota on a twrp'd/rooted v1.2.0b01.
I have tried this guide without luck starting from the point where the tool tries to flash twrp. when the phone tried to reboot into bootloader it just rebooted to the system.
With this guide i can't apply B02 as i get a mismatch error (forgot what the actual message was called).
any ideas?
thanks in advance!
edit: further information: i am currently on 7.1.1 b01 with unlocked-BL/twrp/root thanks to this guide, BUUUT i can not update from that to b02.
when i flash stock recovery and try to update via ota i get a "package mismatch" error during the update installation process while in the (stock-) recovery.
1. Which version are you running?
2. are you already unlocked and
rooted?
If yes, just flash stock recovery with axon7tool and update your system in the usual way. If done, flash back TWRP and supersu. Done.

Its a good question. For e.g. I'm on b10 G version rooted. How to come to A2017GV1.2.0B02 rooted?
Just the same. Install stock recovery and follow the update process as described everywhere in this forum.

Hello,
I'm on A2017GV1.2.0B02, and I'd like to root it.
I have installed adb and axon7toolkit, but it seems there's no stock recovery anymore since 7.x firmware. So when I issue adb edl reboot, the phone is just rebooting the OS. :/
Which steps must I follow for rooting my stock A2017GV1.2.0B02 ?
Thanks.

the command to edl is: adb reboot edl.
To boot into recovery it's just power + vol+ button.
But since nougat you cannot boot into bootloader anymore. This would be necessary to unlock the bootloader. Therefore you would have to follow the steps I already mentioned in this thread.

You are triyng to update your sistem with twrp and the stock update.
you need to go back to stock recovery, aply update from system, wait for process and then, reboot edl, and reflash recovery.

My stuff was for reinstalling TWRP on an unlocked phone after Nougat deleted it.
You should try axon7toolkit and see if that does the stuff. Another way around would be to downgrade your phone to B10 (Marshmallow) via MiFavor's update by sd thingy, (i'm not 100% sure if it lets you get to mm from nougat, but it's definitely worth a shot) then trying the BL unlock thread (NOT mine!)

You'll always get that mismatch regarding what you do or try. You'll need a custom made twrp flashable zip. Tron1 and I have tried to make one but no success. We will try to make a full flashable zip based on the full image.
Even if you flash your stock recovery back and do the OTA, you'll always get a mismatch regardless what others might say.
