Bad nougat install - back to rom but on android 4.3?!

Hi all,
last night I had a good idea of updating to nougat and had a few issues booting.. after I did something (cant remember exactly in nougat twrp) and got stuck in erecovery with no fastboot.
now im booting into a rom after restoring a nougat system.img and just want to go back to square one!
its displaying currently I am on
EMUI 2.0
android 4.3
android security patch lvevel 1st November 2016
build: NRD90M test-keys.
phone is back to locked too.
if I unlock, flash recovery and re-install 6.x stock rom would this work with my android security/firmware level at 1st November 16?
How can I get back to normal from here?
From a very tired stressed out silly guy haha
Thanks!

i have no idea! it states i have 1gb RAM too so i have a feeling the output details on this screen are borked.
Secuirty android version is 2016 november so just ideally would like to confirm if i try flashing 6.x it would work?
or do i need to work out how to downgrade the security version first?

Hi...
Flash twrp recovery, if u haven't, and take a nandroid backup.
When update to new version u can restore the backup from twrp.
But if u are already on oxygen OS and u update to the new version, apps and data will remain.

It's for non rooted users that backup appd data and storage. Not sure if works 100% but worth a try[emoji3]

You need to unlock your bootloader if you want to root and get the benefits.
If you want to upgrade from oos to oos, then download the latest oos rom from the website and go to settings > system update, tap the three dots on top right and select local upgrade( should be there, not sure about 3.0.1) then navigate to your downloaded rom and it will install, without needing to unlock bootloader and losing data.

Magisk v15.0, anyone using it on their PH-1?

I seen that Magisk was updated to version 15.0 so I was wondering if anyone had problems with it and how you updated from the previous version. Thank you.

I was getting reboots on v14.3 and v14.6 on Oreo Beta 2 but I have not gotten a single reboot since flashing v15.0 earlier today (been running for maybe 8 hours now.)

I'm on 15 and it is solid

Just updated.
No issues yet. Safety net is okay.

I'm also using it with no problems. I rooted the phone using the intructions from Magisk to root the pixel phones and it worked great, no need to use twrp.

So far so good on 15.0
No reboots o Android auto for my 2 driving sessions. If I was on 14.3, would have happened already

My phone bootloop if i update from 14.5 (beta) to 15. Fortunately i had a backup and i restored boot partition through twrp...

No issues. Went straight from Stock, to Beta 1, updated via OTA to Beta 2. Then followed the instructions: https://forum.xda-developers.com/essential-phone/how-to/guide-rooting-essential-ph-1-magisk-t3701976

What rom do you use for passing safetynet?

I'm stock except for some thermal tweaks

I am unable to upgrade v15. Whenever I try to install the zip from magisk manager it says done but after reboot it shows no root Install magisk. Please help. I m on J7 2017 with Arm build 7.0 nougat. Currently on Magisk v13.3

Looks like xiaomi pushed it just for the sake of releasing before the year ends.

Its pretty stable and 100% better than Nougat. Do a factory reset always upgrading to Major Android versions...

I`am interested in downgrade too..

is it possible to downgrade if you have fastboot files???

You do have to download the official ROM from Xiaomi website, then use the Mi Flash tool to flash it.

Just download the rom from few topics here of the latest Nougat, backup your data, go to the MiFlash tool and flash the nougat rom, but remember, do not flash flash_factory.bat.

You have to flash the stock ROM of a older version of OxygenOS via flash_all_partions.bat, the easiest way. There is one for OxygenOS 9.0.6

Thank you! The first thread did the trick. I want to sell my OP6T (going back to the Pixel 2XL), but was running the latest Open Beta. I couldn't find a way to go back to stock, nothing seemed to work but this tool. Had to unlock the bootloader to do it, but now it's relocked and I'm rocking the stable again. Thanks again!
