August security update - Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion

August factory images
August full OTAs
Build NJH47F
NZH54D for DT
NHG47Q for Verizon
NKG47S for T-Mobile, Fi, Rogers

Bump, figured I'd "discuss" it here, rather than making a new thread. Does anyone know the differences between the factory images? Possibly radio/modems?
For example, I have a Google bought XL, switched from fi to Verizon, and I'll occasionally swap between the image specifically for Verizon to the generic build. I never notice any difference.

Hey TonikJDK,
so after doing the flashall.bat - TWRP is still installed for you? Or can you elaborate what you exactly mean with "boot to TWRP [and install SU]"?

No, I don't install TWRP. If I had my method would certainly remove it.
After the flash boot to TWRP means I type
Fastboot boot TWRPfilename
And that boots the phone to twrp, then I select install from the twrp menu and install the SU zip that I previously copied to the phone.
TWRPfilename of course is the twrp rc1 img boot file. You type the whole filename.

I haven't gotten any update notification on my Pixel. I forced check, says up to date with July Update.
Guess update hasn't been pushed out via OTA yet...

While we'reat the rc1 img file.. there is a newer rc2 file, but it is a zip file - how do we boot off this?

You don't. Even if you were going to install RC2 you would boot off the rc1 img file and then install the rc2 zip.

You can't. So if you for instance want to install magisk. You can't without installing rc2

I'm not sure if I understand you correctly. So how would I install RC2? Did someone "just forget" to create an img for RC2?

No need for a new img. If you want TWRP installed you copy the rc2 zip to your phone...boot to rc1 using the image and install the rc2 zip.

Buddy of mine has gotten in on his 5in Pixel already...but no lock on my XL as of yet.
He is on VZW network...i'm on Sprint...so, not sure if that makes any difference cause they come from Google..

VZ OTA's come from Verizon and they come out earlier in the day. VZ does it in the morning EST while Google is west coast.

so...i the build numbers confuse me. My phone is from Google and first activated it on Tmobile, but now am on Sprint.
There is no build specific to Sprint mentioned. But how do the builds differ from each other...exact same hardware right?
My Pixel XL says it is on NJH47D.

If you're specific carrier isn't listed then use international. They make specific changes for carriers connectivity

You'll probably end up getting the NJH47F OTA which is the generic one, unlike the others which are carrier specific.

Like I have for months now, I upgraded a Pixel XL and a Pixel using TWRP RC2 sideload, boot to RC1 and install RC2, Install SuperSU 2.79 RC3 (and let the playstore upgrade later... I have been having far better luck with that path than installing and of the 2.82 builds directly) and V8 signer for no reason except that it is a habit at this point just in case.

[STOCK] VERIZON Nexus 6 [5.1][LMY47E] Firmware Image

For anyone interested here is the firmware image for Verizon Nexus 6 [5.1] [ LMY47E].

So the difference in between whats out there and this is? I'm curious as the build is different.

Not sure what's actually different but the build number is different, LMY47D vs LMY47E.
Could this be flashed with twrp without losing custom recovery?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
Hopefully we will find out if there are any significant changes or additions. I really hope that I do not need to follow a Verizon firmware through the life of this phone. I hope that there is nothing meaningful in the E version.
Not positive as I am just downloading it, but pretty sure it is the factory image for the Nexus 6 for VZW so I imagine it will remove root and probably custom recovery.
But the nice thing about the Nexus 6 is that you are NOT tied to your carrier's firmware/ROM's for it. Unlike previous phones, there are only two versions, US and International. So we don't have to worry if 'x ROM' is for the T-Mobile version, the Sprint version, etc., etc.
Well no worries this all but confirms vzw is rootable and unlockable
Anyone Flash this yet?
Has anyone flashed this yet...very interested how you went about it and what the results are.....thx
Is there a rooted version??

Also waiting another few hours for download to complete. In the mean time, just parsing all the attributes of the file name:
LMY47E: Newer than LMY47D, which is explicitly called 5.1.0 on the Nexus Factory Image page (not the usual numbering convention, which would be 5.1; possibly foreshadowing that they know 5.1.1 is hot on its heels)
release-keys: signed by Google
subsidy-default: Includes parameters that resets the SIM Lock on the radio to "default" status, which we assume is factory-unlocked.
CFC: any idea what means?
I would assume this also gives us an image for the /oem partition
Judging by the name this was made on the same day as the image on Google's website, so it is very unlikely that there are major changes.
Nexus 6 subsidy lock config
@autoprime:
1. Does the contents of the included slcf_rev_b_default_v1.0.nvm look like plain QMI commands to you?
2. Do you still have a user-friendly one-click tool that can send DFS commands to a device in diag mode?
How to Flash
Maybe a dumb question... but can this be TWRP flashed (I thinking no) or is there some other method? I was thinking this was a standard recovery image that could be flashed in stock recovery?? Other than that, I am not sure... if anyone has success flashing let me know!
edit...
duh.... ok sorry... my bad for not looking into the zip.... I see the flash all .bat

I believe you will need the Motorola Fastboot tool (mfastboot) to flash this in the motoboot mode. You can get it from the MotoDev site, or search on the forums. Note that this is NOT the same as the standard fastboot that ships with the Android SDK (which will also work with the Nexus 6, but not with this particular zip file).

As described, used mfastboot... flashed each individual image file based on the steps in the flashfile.xml!!! Booted up everything real nice.... download myverizon and voicemail as soon as I went through initial setup.... rooting now!!! :good:
bootloader remained unlocked the whole time!!!!

Does the firmware seem configured for VZW? VZW ringtones and boot animation and the like? Or does it appear like something that Google will drop on us in the near future? I wonder if it will ever hit the factory images page?

only thing Verizon really are the 2 app downloads.... everything else is the same... not boot animations nothing. Root and TWRP setup worked fine as well.... Not going to relock bootloader though... I know the horror stories of Hard Bricks.... Not going to take off force encrypt either.... was having trouble with the phone wanting to go bootloopy with the regular image from google when I made it force before... I will let everyone know bugs and post some pictures as well once I set it up fully!! :highfive:

Question: I think I may have been under the same circumstances as you. I am rooted, with TWRP, and bootloader unlocked. I am however, running a custom rom (5.0.1 encrypted). I won't be relocking the bootloader. What steps (if you are able to provide them) should I take to achieve 5.1 with bootloader still locked and then root and install TWRP. (Please keep in mind I a have not had a Nexus device since the very first one).
Edit: I am on VZW network but Google Play Store Nexus 6.
TIA
Will do... I am still setting up the phone. Once I complete it and make sure it works fine for a little bit then I'll post. Don't want to cause any issues that might lead to someone bricking their phone

System partition looks complete, but I won't have time to do a diff between the two until next week. But by then, we might have an official changelog.

Click to expand...

I don't have an AT&T device to test, but applying this file certainly attempts to set the SIM lock to it's default factory-unlocked state. But it's also possible the radio firmware could reject the unlock commands if it has been previously locked by a carrier. Only way to know is to test.

There is an oem partition file within the zip, but it's literally just the string "Hi, Fly Guy". Just open oem.img with a text editor to see it. I cannot imagine that is a valid ext img file, so I'm shocked that it was able to be flashed. If so, that would suggest that the Verizon devices will ship with no unique customizations (e.g., bootanimation, ringtones, that cannot be removed without root), and has a sense of humor.

@mahst68, did you flash only the image files, or also the subsidy_lock_config file (slcf....nvm)? What mfastboot command did you use to send the slcf? What was the response did you get back from that command? And when you flashed the oem.img what response did you get back?

Is this normal after unlock/root?

I did a long, messy, and convoluted way of getting root. I messed up several times. Now I think I finally have root and a working phone. But, when I first turn on the phone, it gives me a screen warning me that it can't check for security loopholes, so i should relock my bootloader. That's normal.
But I also get another screen saying that my device is corrupted, and that my device may no longer properly work. Press power to continue. I press power, and it's able to either boot to the phone OS, or boot to TWRP, depending on what I was doing.
Question is, is my phone really corrupted during my messy install? Or is it also normal for all rooted and unlocked phones?
Thanks.

I believe the corrupted message is standard for Android on all phones. I always ignored it. There are threads on how to get rid of that message. I never bothered with that.

It sounds like you might only have one good slot and the other corrupted. The bootloader message as you indicated is normal but the other message is not. I had this at one point as well because fastboot erased system but failed to flash it. Reflashing stock fixed it.

How did you flash stock? I tried
https://forum.xda-developers.com/essential-phone/development/stock-7-1-1-nmj20d-t3701681
Flashing NMJ88C, and i downloaded it, extracted it, ran the BAT after I have both bootloader and critical unlocked, and now I can load the phone with NMJ88C, but like I said, I got that error. Isn't this method supposed to have fixed both slots?
If you didn't use this method, i was wondering what method you did?
I would think that would do the trick. In my case I knew the system was issue so I just flashed system. I find fastboot extra finicky on this phone. Did you happen to notice if something errored in the script?

What I mean is if you are staying stock and just want magisk and root you don't need to do it via twrp. There are modified boot images you can fastboot flash. But if you want custom ROMs you still need twrp.
I have been satisfied with stock rooted.

Ahhhh. I had a light bulb moment as to why I had difficulty... I installed twrp but didn't install the boot image after.
Strange how that works. I'm coming from an older school phone that doesn't do that slot system thing.
Any reason why this phone would have TWRP replace the boot image?
Or maybe you know of a thread that explains it?
Thanks.

Android P Developer Preview

P Developer Preview 1 is here!
https://developer.android.com/preview/index.html
Keep in mind:
Performance and battery
System and app performance is known to be periodically slow and janky, and devices may become occasionally unresponsive. These problems may become more acute with prolonged use.
Battery life may be regressed in this early release for screen-on and screen-off use cases.
https://developer.android.com/preview/release-notes.html
I am not able to spend the time flashing DP1 at the moment, but if someone does, I would be extremely appreciative if they could let me know if the multi-touch bug introduced in Android 8.1.0 has been fixed! Thanks in advance... https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/70344455
Unless you don`t flash it on your daily driver i suggest to wait till the second version wich is ususaly more stable.

I had the same issue, I had to update my platform-tools through the sdk manager, and used the flash-all command from the cmd.

Thanks for replying. I downloaded the latest platform tools as well. when you say you used the flash all command you mean the flash-all.bat file found in the goolge factory image zip file...i did that but it gave a few errors then booted back up and i was still on android 8.1.0.

And who knows maybe the new panel will grow on me like the lighter theme on oreo did lol

What I meant was I used the included flash-all.sh. So what I did was extract the factory images contents into the platform-tools folder. Then I navigated to the platform-tools folder using command prompt and then ran the "flash-all" command. Hope that helps

that didnt work, it says at the end :
Device version-bootloader is 'mw8998-002.0059.00'.

Android P screenshots
had to resort to a custom script
I tried flashing march factory image it was giving problems just the same. i used toolkit that didnt help either what i tried was to use deuces toolkit and that worked and i flashed march update. then i tried to do Android P still wouldnt work. used Deuces toolkit with android p and it worked like a charm.

Have you tried flashing the march image first, then the developer preview? That is also one of the steps i took when having problems but am unsure if that solved it.

I'm using Pixel 2 and it is not locked. I tried critical unlock, that did not work, so i just used regular "fastboot flashing unlock " i go tit to work in the end but i had to use Deuces custom script to flash the files.

Which kernel version is used ?
I flashed it from Mac on pixel 2 from Google and had no issues. The settings UI is different but overall, pretty solid. Not had any issues so far.
One issue I experienced was not able to modify DND for car driving mode. I wanted to set it to priority and it stays in alarm only.
The options you see when you long press to get to launcher settings is always visible in a layer if you watch closely. This becomes more visible when you pull up the drawer.

Android 10 on Moto g6 play

Ok my friends, it's true that family moto g6 (specifically g6 play) will receive android 10? if it's possitive... When will we have news about this?
Also ... does anyone know if there is any rom in development with android 10 for this model (lineage, RR, etc.)?
If anyone knows about this, I think several would appreciate this valuable information.
Answer 1, just wait for Moto to announce it, usually they announce when there gonna do a soak test of a new Android version so whenever Moto does that will be some sort of answer however soak test usually go on for a few months basically it's prolly gonna be almost another year before we hear anything I mean we just got official pie about 2 months ago now after they did soak test for months.
Answer 2, there is not even a custom rom like rr or anything for this device for Oreo or pie so doubtable. Best you can do is try out gsi A only builds, custom rom means it's made specifically for this device where as gsi is compatible with any phone that shipped with Android 8. There is a gsi thread you can out
Answer 3: Motorola has already confirmed that the Moto G6 Play will only get one major OS upgrade, and being that we got Pie now that's all it will get unless a DEV figures out how to make a custom rom for Android 10.

I have no WiFi right now or I'd already be trying to build for us. They finally fixed the sources for our phone. Phh has Android 10 GSIs out. They'll boot if you flash the Oreo vendor, oem, and boot images first but it's very alpha at the moment. You also need to flash phh's modified magisk from his first Android 10 release. LTE is broken (3G works), and it has some graphics glitches. Most everything else is working fine though. It's not a daily driver yet but it's getting there fast. It will break LTE on stock. To fix that just flash your firmware and let it setup until it reactivates, then you can restore a backup like normal.

That's cool, I was just adding to the answer as to the number of os upgrades that Moto phones get, as far as Phh's android 10 you should be fine as long as you include vendor partition with your stock backup.

phh built an AOSP 10 test image for us which fixes the bootloop on Pie vendor. I tried it last night and everything seemed to work except sound. LTE works after adding the APN settings.

First flash the latest stock boot.img to remove any leftover traces of Magisk, which is now incompatible with phh's AOSP 10 builds.
After that you'll need to disable encryption and dm-verity, if you haven't already done that:
- Download the dm-verity + forced encryption disabler zip here
- Boot into TWRP, go to Wipe, and press Format Data. This will wipe everything from the internal storage! Make sure you have backups stored somewhere else.
- Reboot > Reboot Recovery
- Copy the disabler zip to your phone and flash it
Now the test image should be able to boot on Pie vendor.
(There might be other/better ways of doing this, but those are the steps that worked for me)

Did you format using the "yes" option? I tried those steps but couldn't get it to boot, but formatting with "yes" was the only thing that I didn't do. I didn't think it would be necessary because my encryption was already disabled.
Have you tried flashing Viper4android? It might make the sound work since it uses it's own drivers and has to gain root access. I'd try the one by zackptg5, the same guy who makes the disabler.

Maybe I flashed the wrong boot.img... I might've mixed up Oreo and Pie boot images. I have both firmwares sitting right next to each other.

Yep, any kind of Magisk makes it bootloop. Someone reported it to phh and his response was "well don't use magisk then" lol

I'll check it out and see what I can do. That's not surprising though. It's extremely alpha, so he's probably just prioritizing stock functionality over everything else right now.
I can't get it rooted, but v202 just went up, so I'm going to try my luck with it.

Android 10 Beta T-Mobile Variant

I have tried twice on my OnePlus 6T T-Mobile variant to upgrade to the newest Open Beta. It runs the current open beta released in September just fine. But then when I do a local upgrade to the Android 10 open beta, right after it finishes installing and I press reboot, I get a message that says Build Version and HW version do not match and it ets stuck in a bootloop. To fix it, I have to use MSMDownloadTool to fix it. I have tried doing a local upgrade using a locked and unlocked bootloader and both lead to the same problem. Has anyone succesfully updated their TMo variant because i hate having to keep restoring my device?
I usually wait for a while until official Android 10 ROM for international OnePlus 6T version (and flash it via TWRP both times so I don't get any conflicts, with same copies of the OS across both slots), then I do whatever I want (I usually upgrade the bootloader and vendor this way so newer flavor of LineageOS 16 or later ROMs work best). I didn't run into hardware mismatch warning, yet I managed to successfully flash the successive OxygenOS updates meant for the international OnePlus 6T on my T-Mobile OnePlus 6T so far without seeing any UEFI bootloader warning at all. I had to be careful, I partly bricked my Google Pixel phone the last time (rendered Slot A completely unbootable by accident, so I had to figure out how to restore it the hard way, without the computer).

I'm not interested in rooting my phone :silly: so is there any work around for unrooted users at the moment? Ty
Not yet. The fastboot ROM is pre-rooted, so there's no additional tinkering needed. Just flash the fastboot ROM and upon reboot, it's rooted. You can always jump back to the stable build when it's released next month if you'd like.
That file was deleted. Is there any other way to flash it?

How is the Zip? I am new to the OnePlus forums do not see the least of two of 0 years ago I do so much trust that this would not happen as with P there were never problems with the V T which Vojo is some without root version?
Installed just fine, I love the new interface. BT isn't working for my Garmin watch. I guess I will have to wait for a full release for this to be fixed up.

You haven't used the gyro, proximity sensor, specialized fonts, or emojis yet.
The OB1 creates a new partition called "reserve". This partition is not present on the Tmobile variants and its not created during install. There are issues with the Tmobile build, and its going to stay that way until an updated MSMtool comes out, Tmobile updates to A10, or some maniac actually goes through and fixes every single symlink that's broken.
OP ran out of space on system partition, so they're solution was to create a new partition and symlink everything from there to system.

Patching the boot.img with magisk canary is somehow breaking the symlinks to reserve.img (possibly others). reserve.img is where the extra fonts, oneplus specific apks (like weather, launcher icons, etc) are stored. If you wanna check, flip your font to oneplus slate, if its in italics, its hosed. If your font is looking at special characters and your getting boxes with X's in them, your hosed.
only way to fix is a clean flash, and use magisk stable manager to patch your boot.img if your rooting.

Ok, yeah, I do have the italic font. I thought that was just "new".
So basically, dont root it and it will be fine?
