Not sure if this will help, but everyone I've seen with issues after using O have had favorable results with the suggestion HERE.

Best of luck!
[Nexus 6P General] g_oral:
so i have tried installing different stock roms of 7.1 from https://developers.google.com/android/images

but none of them started, all of them had android.phone problem and bootloop.

i have downloaded again android O rom and now it works, android booted.

so what should i do to roll back to 7.1? do the factory reset from android settings and than instal 7.1?
[Nexus 6P General] Az Biker:
*you MUST install the latest factory image (go to Heisenberg's 6P INDEX and get the newest FACTORY IMAGE and install it),

*then perform a Factory Reset from settings, NOT from TWRP (go to device settings >Back up & Reset > FACTORY DATA RESET)

*Then you can install Pure Nexus as normal (Post #6 on the 6P PN thread or whichever Rom you're running)

Can I use the standard TWRP 3.1.1 to convert to f2fs or should I install an f2fs compatible TWRP?
[Nexus 6P General] mobileman88:
Anyone noticed that the device is showing as uncertified in the latest Google play store app? Is it because the bootloader is unlocked?
[Nexus 6P General] g_oral:
Thank You, i will try this today. Do i need TWRP or can i do it on stock recovery?
[Nexus 6P General] ART:
I will be moving to f2fs. In step 14 of the photo, what's rm -rf and why should I use it ?
[Nexus 6P General] Einwod:
All OK here with unlocked bootloader.
[Nexus 6P General] mobileman88:
Very strange. Not been checking on that menu, just noticed it but Android Pay is working fine.
[Nexus 6P General] Einwod:
You need the latest version of TWRP.
[Nexus 6P General] Az Biker:
You'll certainly need TWRP to flash the vendor image and the rest of the files for the cust rom (unless you fastboot them, which I doubt you'll be comfortable doing)...
[Nexus 6P General] g_oral:
I'm doing everything via cmd and fastboot
[Nexus 6P General] Az Biker:
OK then :D

You'll still need TWRP on your device, but can flash all the necessary files via fastboot.
[Nexus 6P General] steviemch:
Everyone is suggesting you need TWRP..... Unless I'm mistaken you wants to revert completely to stock Nougat from O dp4? If that's the case, no you need stock recovery. Factory reset from settings (system >reset), not recovery, then (obviously after enabling OEM unlock etc.) try flashing the image from fastboot again. If you still have the same problem, try to flash using the flash-all.bat command rather than flashing everything separately.
[Nexus 6P General] g_oral:
I'm on stock Android O with stock recovery. I was doing the downgrade on stock recovery to stock 7.1 and i got loop with Android.phone app error.

I haven't found in internet the CMD command to exec flash-all.bat.

Is IT 'start' or 'run'?
[Nexus 6P General] Einwod:
Just doubleclick the flashall.bat file, it will self execute. Sit back and relax.
[Nexus 6P General] g_oral:
It will find my phone connected to pc? Ok thanks i will try that
[Nexus 6P General] g_oral:
i get:

fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

when i double click that .bat file

so i have reset Android O via settings -> reset

than i vent back to stock recovery and fastbooted all of the 7.1 files.

and there is the same error with android.phone app.

there is no way to go back from android O to Nougat on stock recovery and unlocked bootloader.

also I could't go back from stock android O and locked bootloader with stock recovery via OTA (sign off beta program)
[Nexus 6P General] Einwod:
So, you have no fastboot installed. You need fastboot and adb installed, search for it on XDA, then try again. DO NOT RELOCK THE BOOTLOADER UNLESS YOU ARE STOCK otherwise you'll have an expensive paperweight. Start at the first post here and read carefully. Don't skip any steps.
[Nexus 6P General] g_oral:
i have fastboot. but i need to be in fastboot and adb folder in CMD.

so i have fasboot.exe and adb.exe in folder: D:\Downloads\platform-tools

and i have unpacked android 7.1 imgs to

C:\angler\angler-n2g48c

so in CMD i go to: D:\Downloads\platform-tools and how to run flash-all.bat which is in C:\angler\angler-n2g48c
[Nexus 6P General] Inane65:
Go to C:\angler\angler-n2g48c

Open a command prompt in that directory and type

Do:\Downloads\platform-tools\flashall.bat

Edit.....

Better yet...

Copy or move the files from your angler\angler-n2g48c folder to the downloads\platform-tools folder. Then go to the platform-tools folder and execute the flashall.bat.

If I wanted to flash Magisk instead of SuperSU on 1st unlock bootloader & root can I do so ?
[Nexus 6P General] dratsablive:
Yes it should work after you have unlocked bootloader and allowed it to boot first time. Just go back to bootloader, flash TWRP then latest Magisk.
[Nexus 6P General] jaladhjin:
Do I install the Magisk Manager first or after on the phone after flash or doesn't it matter ?

Whoops think I double posted haha
[Nexus 6P General] jaladhjin:

Hi,

I'm on a custom rom Android 7.1.2 and I want to return to stock rom to try Android Oreo. Because I want a clean flash, can I use the guide Number 10? Is It compatible with Android 8? Thanks. Last question... If I don't issue these commands:

- fastboot erase cache

- fastboot flash cache C:\angler\images\cache.img

can I avoid flashing twrp to wipe cache and dalvik cache?

I used this guide on page 1 to root my 7.1.2. Thanks!

Now I see that the official 8.0 is out.

If I flash it, will I lose all of my apps/settings?

Also, how do I flash it and root it?
[Nexus 6P General] SlimSnoopOS:
Same way as before. Just use the latest version of your preferred root exploit.
[Nexus 6P General] baldybill:

Busybox issue on 8.0/Oreo?

Hi,

I have successfully upgraded from 7.1.2 to 8.0 and have rooted and installed TWRP. I cannot get Busybox to successfully install. Any suggestions on why this might be an issue on 8.0 or how to fix? (I've tried a few different versions of Busybox as well).

Thank you.
[Nexus 6P General] ffejy462:
I don't believe there's is a xbin directory. Wait for busybox developers to sort it out.

Thanks for the reply.

Lost access to 'sd card' / internal memory after rooting on oreo

I've justed rooted using the delayed boot SuperSU, but now don't have access to the internal memory partition. Apps and everything else is mostly fine, though did have one crash. Any ideas?
[Nexus 6P General] Badger50:
Yes, they are both different. Yes, you should flash the "O" 03.73 bootloader. Radios, on the other hand...meh, not such a big deal. I'm still using the 03.75 radio on my 6p because it works best in my humble opinion. No issues at all on the latest "O" OTA :good:
[Nexus 6P General] vik4:
Never mind; looks like I was using an outdated guide, with an outdated supersu (2.79 SR4). After re-flashing boot, I have now used the latest (2.82 SR4) and everything works fine :)
[Nexus 6P General] Roy_Alter:
I am using post 11 for 7.1.2 stock.

It say after flashing all the files

On 7.1.2 and above you'll also need to boot into TWRP recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache.

I wil have still twrp to boot into after flashing all the files?

And how do i boot into twrp from bootloader mode
[Nexus 6P General] CyberZeus1977:
If you don't flash stock recovery, you will have twrp.

From bootloader mode, use volume keys to select recovery, then press power button. It's all stated in the first post.

[Nexus 6P General] Roy_Alter:
i did flash the stock recovery .

i use volume keys to select recovery and it was said not command

I checked online what to do and after few minutes the phone reboot by itself and now is booted for the setup of the device.

is it ok that i dont wipe after the flash?
[Nexus 6P General] E30Nova:
Has anybody had problems with root on 8.0?

I used fastboot to install the factory image and rooted it with 2.82 sr2. Worked fine, I even flashed the flash kernel 3.0. Then last night I turned the phone off for a few hours and when I tried to turn it on, it just sat at the boot animation forever.

Had to flash the stock boot image to get it to boot up. As soon as I flashed SuperSU and tried to reboot, same thing. Stuck at the boot animation.

So I tried SuperSU 2.82 sr3, same deal.

Tried wiping and flashing again using the flash all batch file. All good.

Boot into recovery, flash root, and stuck on boot animation again.

So now I'm back on 7.1.2.

Not sure how everything was fine until I powered it off, but anyone able to successfully root OPR6?
[Nexus 6P General] Roy_Alter:
Here's what I do-

i was on 7.1.2 stock , than i enroll for beta and update with ota to 8.0.

then flash twrp with fastboot.

reboot to twrp and install supersu.

and it works
[Nexus 6P General] fiverings:
Did you have to lock the bootloader to download the 8.0 beta. Or did it just download the ota. If so how did you install it. My 6p is rooted, have twrp & SuperSU.
[Nexus 6P General] Badger50:
If he was on "stock" 7.12, then more than likely he already had the bootloader locked in order to take the OTA. You can also download the OTA, extract all the images, then install it with fast boot, which is what I did. It's actually pretty easy to do if your so inclined to do so :good:
[Nexus 6P General] Roy_Alter:
I flashed the factory image of the last 7.1.2 version.

i didnt lock the bootloader.

then i enroll online to the beta and i got the update 8.0 in my device

http://android.com/beta you can do it here.
[Nexus 6P General] W@r10ck:
how long does it takes to boot after updating to oreo?
[Nexus 6P General] Einwod:
How long is a piece of string?
[Nexus 6P General] mobileman88:
I am getting my phone started in about 30 seconds now. Much faster than N
[Nexus 6P General] W@r10ck:
Yes I heard boot up is much faster and better than N. Im back to 7.1.2 coz i just get bootloops and i thought the first flash takes longer but not longer than 10mins from my previous experiences. Maybe I did something wrong when flashing. What I would try and do next time probably lock the bootloader, update it through OTA and then unlock it, flash TWRP and SuperSu to gain root again. What way did you update your phone to Oreo?
[Nexus 6P General] goatmale:
"No command boot loop issue" fix

For anyone who was trying to restore a factory image in section 10 and running into the issue with the "no command" bootloop after flashing a 7.1.2 image - you need to wipe the cache / davlik before flashing the image.

If you didn't you can download the latest version of twrp (download and then fastboot flash recovery "C:\angler\images\twrp-3.1.1-0-angler.img") wipe the cache / davlik, and repeat the process that heisenberg wrote up.

Just thought i'd pass this along in case anyone else runs into the issue.
[Nexus 6P General] anthropolyte:
Thanks for this - I'm going to be carrying out the procedure prior to sending back my device for RMA.

Out of interest, has anyone successfully returned to stock 7.1.2 with locked bootloader after having run 8.0?
[Nexus 6P General] E30Nova:
What file explorers are you guys using on 8.0?

My go-to app has always been root browser, but I guess it hasn't been updated yet. Every time I open it and navigate to SD card/download, the phone reboots.

I can't stand ES file explorer, so what else do you guys recommend?
[Nexus 6P General] Badger50:
I'm still using good ol root explorer. Bout 4 years running and still works fine.
[Nexus 6P General] E30Nova:
K, so the problem was an old kernel that was made for Oreo but wasn't made from scratch specifically for Oreo. Updated the kernel and now I have root and can browse files in any file browser without issue.

Hi, I am from India and my carrier is Airtel. Unfortunately i set the radio band to USA by mistake and after that I am not able to make any calls or receive any calls / SMSes or the mobile network. I have tried all the solutions mentioned in the posts - like CHROMA rom, purenexus-6.0.1 version, flashing the radio images - 2.50, 3.61, 3.72. Tried setting to Automatic mode in the radio bands and factory resets. None of these work. Looks like Airtel uses Band 40 and 2300 Mhz. Can anybody help me with this? Is anyone aware which custom ROM could be having more bands - suited to India?
[Nexus 6P General] Badger50:
Custom roms do nothing for the radio bands. Have you tried resetting your apn's? You may have to flash your stock images from Google to resolve the problem. Or, you may have damaged your sim card. Try the first 2 things I suggested, if that doesn't work, then likely a sim card problem.
[Nexus 6P General] erpsindhu:
1. I tried flashing the stock images, but it does not give the network still. 2. APNs are still intact, even if i reset it it doesnt help to get the carrier signals. 3. The same sim card is working fine in other phones. But other sim cards are not working in my nexus 6p(as i have set the radio band to USA, when i am in India).

True, I agree custom ROMs have nothing to do. But I found CHROMA has more bands - USA, PCS, AUS etc. Purenexus_6.0.1 had 2 Automatic bands and other bands like Aus, US and so on.( I tried the 2 ROMs based on various xda threads on similar kinda of issue, but none reported from India I guess, so none of them worked for me!!) I couldnt find any bands suited for Airtel/India. If anyone has faced such issues and have found any resolution, please let me know. I am not ready to give up on my nexus yet :(

Yea, it is possible. Follow section 9. It is however highly recommended that you factory reset when updating to major OS updates. If you don't, then it's obviously on you to troubleshoot any issues or unusual behavior.

Followed Post 9 from the guide and all seems to be working well here on 8.0, Nexus 6P 64GB. I didn't lose any data and I've gone through a few reboots to check on purpose. Root (2.82 SR3), AdAway and ElementalX Kernel 5.03 all working well. I even used SuperSU Hide and Android Pay now seems to work. Few banking apps still detect the device rooted though.

Quick question. Do i just flash SUhide in twrp or do i still need to flash supersu config to select systemless SBIN mode. Im on Android O and i've read that SBIN mode is on by default but just want to make sure since your also on Android O. Thanks mate.
[Nexus 6P General] teohguangli:
It says keep a copy of the backup on the phone and somewhere else. Which file am I suppose to copy and save it somewhere else?
[Nexus 6P General] Spannaa:
The four efs files buried inside the TWRP folder on internal storage after you've taken a full backup?

It helps if you quote the relevant section of the post you're asking about...
[Nexus 6P General] teohguangli:
Not just the EFS, others as well~ I meant the whole backup file~
[Nexus 6P General] sidhaarthm:
I flashed the SuperSU Config first, selected the systemless SBIN mode (it is not that by default) then flashed the actual SuperSU 2.82 SR3. Then after the boot was complete and I updated/flashed the kernel, I went back into TWRP and flashed SUhide. It obviously worked as never before have I been able to run Android Pay on my device. Halifax mobile app still picked up that my phone was rooted, but I really don't care about them ;)
[Nexus 6P General] Spannaa:
Lol - I had to guess since your initial question was a bit vague!

A TWRP backup isn't a single file, it's a folder full.

Look in your internal storage/twrp/backups/device_id/ and each folder in here is a full backup containing the individual partition backups.
[Nexus 6P General] teohguangli:
So I just copy the whole backup file and save it somewhere else? I will give you thanks tomorrow as I hit daily limit of 8. Thanks allot!
[Nexus 6P General] Spannaa:
Yep, just copy the folder containing the backup you want to keep.

Lost root and cant flash twrp

I was in the process of returning my phone back to stock form running a custom rom and kernel. I made an amateur mistake and flashed a recovery and didnt remove the startup lock so i had to do a full data reset. Now when i start my phone it says that the vendor image doesnt match or whatever, its running stock android but is unlocked, i downloaded supersu and root checker but both say im not rooted anymore? I have tried to flash twrp but it says cannot load file no such file in directory, same with when i try to flash the new vendor img. I have to return my phone to google as i rma'd it for a battery issue but cant seem to flash twrp or a new vendor image, if i could even just get a new vendor image on here that matches i would be content!
