I did try that. It didn't work either. Even though it said not to, since I have a 64GB and using the batch script flashes userdata which formats (from what I've read) for 32GB. I just tried flashing TWRP, and it's been on the google screen for quite a while now. Hoping it finally boots.... I'll keep you posted. I read something about a modified recovery (or boot, or bootloader, I forget) that accounts for having been rooted. But I flashed all factory image files, so i'm not sure why that would be the case. *Crosses fingers*
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
I don't know where you read that, but it is wrong. Google wouldn't release a factory image incompatible with your device. I have flashed every image released and I also have the 64gb. The only time I ended up with a 32gb version is when I did not use the flash-all script and flashed data partition manually. I hope you did get it sorted out though either way.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shipleythump:
It stayed at the google screen for over an hour. I tried rebooting and it just boot looped again. I'm trying a different image version. Since I was on Android N, do I have to flash back to N? Maybe that's my problem. I'm trying to flash Android M images?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
I would try the most recent. And go from there.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mswal2846:
Which TWRP did you use for the backup?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shipleythump:
3.0.2 the beta version. The one recommended for M and above.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultyrunner:
Backing up and restoring from that version is your issue. It corrupts the EFS. There is a thread or two that gives you the ADB commands you need to delete it. Also install 3.0.2-3 and you will be fine.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shipleythump:
So you're saying the problem is my EFS is corrupted? Then why would it be recommended to use that version if it's corrupting it? I haven't been lurking around XDA as much as I use to, as I use to actually work in IT and had time to be here. Now I work somewhere else, and time is precious. (Not that XDA isn't worth spending time on, but I don't have a lot of time to spare.) I got a Nexus because I knew that meant I wouldn't have to mess around as much to get the occasional ROM than if I had, say, a Galaxy device or cheap POS that would have minor modding options..... No idea why I went into all that, other than to say, I guess I missed the part where it corrupts your phone and when you say

are you saying delete the EFS and restore it? Or the recovery? Not sure what I'm searching for as I'm not sure what you're saying needs to be deleted.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evanw68:
Came from work onto break to find this ****. Has anyone else had similar experiences?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shipleythump:
FIXED!! I guess it was the EFS. I couldn't do it through ADB, but I did it from the terminal in TWRP (After I reflashed TWRP recovery onto the phone) and followed the commands after I found it by searching the forums for repairing EFS, and it worked.... Thank you sooo much!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
Use better battery apps or similar app to see what's causing a wake lock. Every now and then the play services will do that on a new install. Or it could be an app. Usually wiping cache from recovery will make if go away. Also update playservices.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultyrunner:
No problem. Yeah, not sure why the TWRP team hasn't clarified the versions, but 3.0.2-3 was an unofficial update from one of the team members. It would sure help if they got rid of those updates and made -3 the next official. The thanks button on the original response is always good too ;)

Hi can someone tell me to save battery which kernel should i use? Franco? Ex? Or flash? Im not into lot of kernel adjustments..
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jake0125:
Hello,

I am looking at purchasing the 6P to replace my Note 4. Never really liked the Note 4 like I'd hoped. I am curious, I am on Sprint network and hoping that this device will allow me to use the phone while having Data at the same time. The Note looses Data when I tether with it when I received a phone call. Those of you who installed a ROM, can you tether while using the phone? Biggest feature for me!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nathanchance:
I can't tell you what to flash but both Franco and my kernel tweak the default values the kernel will boot up to so that you don't have to tweak to get some battery savings.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidPurity:
Hey guys, so I been using my stock S7 Edge primarily since July. So my rooted 6P is still on July security patch. I know how to manually flash new stock images. However since 7.0 is a big update, I would like to start fresh to prevent any possible hiccups or bugs.

With that considered I just wanted to know can I use the factory reset option in settings on a rooted 6P, with a custom recovery (twrp)?? I don't have any xposed modules, just some apps with root access. For example wake lock.

A quick yes or no (or yes but small risk of soft brick) would be great. Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
You need to unroot and flash stock recovery to get OTA updates. Better to just flash the factory image which will wipe everything and return you to stock.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidPurity:
I know that I can not take the OTA without being stock. Maybe I was not 100% clear, my mistake. I was mainly wondering if doing a factory reset with in settings would be able to do the following 1.) Wipe all user data (of course) 2.) Return the system image back to original, including the stock recovery, keeping it on the same build?

Now that I think about it I am guessing that factory reset is probably only programmed to touch userdata.img and not anything else. I guess I will just go through with the typical flash back to stock like usual. Thanks!!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Just run the flashall.sh script in the factory image. That will wipe the phone in the installation process.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
You are correct. The built in wipe only wipes data, cache dalvik just like twrp. It doesn't restore any partitions as it doesn't have backups stored to do this. The best way as you probably all ready know is a factory image. This will restore every partition to stock. If you want just stock recovery you could pull it from the image and fastboot flash just that.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jake0125:
Bump. If someone could just confirm tethering can be done while on an active call I'd sure appreciate it. Don't want to get bit twice since my note 4 will not allow both simultaneously. Than you!

It works on my Nexus6p running 7.0.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacob_newton:
Hello friends, the other night I updated my 6p to the most recent milestone of Cyanogenmod 13. I am not able to use the "always on ok google" detection.

When I try and toggle the switch it turns blue for less than a second and then stays off.

If I disable hotword detection entirely, and then reboot the system, I am able to toggle "Always On" but it will toggle itself off in less than a minute.

Edit: Any ideas on what might be causing this?

I have been digging around the internet for a whole day and have tried many things including; flash stock, wipe/reflash cyanogen, installing an older cm 13 milestone, disable/re-enable voice in my account, install and use google now launcher.

Hi everyone,

I rooted my nexus 6p using Nexus Root Toolkit, the root was succesfull , then I went to recovery mode to flash the images for the new google assistant (im not sure if this is what cause it) , the device will turn on with this message "Your device software can't be checked for corruption. Please lock the bootloader." , then after 3/5 seconds it goes to a Google Logo wth a small opened padlock where th home button is. but it never fully boots, i can access the bootloader and get into the recovery mode, but thats all, how do i fix this, , will locking the bootloader on the Nexus Rootkit work?

Many thanks

Thanks for confirmation guys. I didnt end up using the flashall.bat but just did each img manually (except userdata since mine is a 64gb). Worked flawlessly, on 7.0 now and took OTA after that to the newest build of 7.0. Now for setting up all app logins again lol.

Hey guys, just bought myself a preloved Nexus 64gb Gold unit (still has warranty, prestine condition..yay!) and getting myself ready to tinker with my new baby. (Goodbye Note 5!)

i'm now looking into flashing a new rom and a new kernel, installing xposed etc. to maximize its use..i'm currently in the latest Nougat update (phone was enrolled in beta). Performance is so-so but i'm looking for additional features. Any heads up of what i should do first? I know how to root it, unlock the bootloader.. but are there additional steps that i need to do before i can starting flashing away?

THANKS!

P.S. if you can send some rom + kernel recommendations for Marshmallow (i understand that xposed still doesnt work with Nougat), that would be wonderful

Hi,

I am on 7.1.1

Bootloader unlocked with latest twrp and custom elementalX kernel.

I want to flash CM13.

Can I just flash the Zip file in twrp? (With ofc full wipe.)

Do I need a different vendor.img? (still don't know what that's for.)

So... Should this work? Or do I need to flash anything else?

History,

I flashed the CM13 with out vendor.img. Got stuck at Google logo. (what did I do wrong?)

Flashed cm14 unofficial without vendor.img. It booted up but when setting up the phone I got a error message "Something is internally wrong with the device" when setting up Google account. Probably because of the vendor.img.(what did I do wrong?)

I made a backup with twrp when I was on 7.1.1. When restoring it I got error 255 (what ever that means) (what did I do wrong?)

So I was forced to flash official 7.1.1 again with adb.

So could some of you guys please explain to me the steps I need to take to install CM13 coming from 7.1.1?.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiL_Assassin:
Hey guys I am gonna take my chances here. I've googled endlessly and haven't been able to find a suitable response. Let's say the device has cm13 and places a call. The audio is fine but the person on the other end hears themselves.

The two things I've heard frequently are to change these two options

<device name="SND_DEVICE_IN_HANDSET_MIC" acdb_id="40" />

To

<device name="SND_DEVICE_IN_HANDSET_MIC" acdb_id="4" />

(was already set to that)

Or add to build prop

ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=none

(didn't have this option so it had to be added)

Someone tested that for me and apprently instead of fixing. It doubled the issue.

I have tried mixer_paths as well. Unless there's something to edit in there. I had an issue on a tmobile Touchwiz rom and the audio that I heard while on call was horrible (though they could hear me fine) . And changing the mixer_psths fixed that

Apprently alot of cm13 devices suffer from this but have never heard of the fix for it.

Hi guys!

I have one annoying problem with my nexus 6p bluetooth. Everytime I use my phone bluetooth with my car, media volume always starts in the middle. So, everytime I have to turn it all the way up. Is it Nexus 6p problem or Android N's problem? Because before I had Nexus 6, and my last used media volume was always saved. I didnt have to turn it up. It would just start with maximum volume. I have searched on Google, and cannot find remotely close solutions. All I find is that bluetooth disconnects, or volume is too low even on max. So is there any work around it? I have downloaded one application from Play Store, which is exactly for my problem. It supposedly saves the last used media, but it doesn't work. Anyone has the same problem? Btw my car bluetooth is external which uses the aux cable. I bought it on Amazon. The name of it is HB01+. I dont think the bluetooth kit itself has anything to do with it. What are your thought? Thank you guys in advance.

Have a good one. :good:

Just do the default boot, system and data. Don't select any of the .IMG or the EFS options. You can keep a backup of EFS just don't restore it with a rom restore. It's to save a phone with a corrupt EFS if needed. Usually you just want to back EFS once by itself and then store it on your PC as a just in case scenario.
