I am using the latest version of the tool. However, when I try to follow the steps to flash stock image, the moment I hit the "Open Folder", the application crashes. I was trying to use the "Easy Method" of copying stock image folder as per the OP.

I am using Windows 10, and Windows version of the LX tool.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lexmazter:
I was looking in the implementation of the open folder and I noticed that for some odd reason, the open folder is made to open the folder inside the StockPackages (if that one exists), there are no checkings if the folder does not exist hence there is a chance of the application crashing if there is no folder selected (since it doesn't exist).

I noticed that this implementation is only present in the stock packages and it applies for all operating systems.

Thanks for the bug report, will patch it soon enough. Anyway, in order to get it working, just manually copy the resulting folder from the achive extraction in the the tool folder path: Data\StockPackages and everything else should work then.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Hausschuh:
My Mac can't recognize my device, any ideas? Looked through the thread but didn't found anything.

Edit: After using another Macbook it worked perfectly, strange.. But thanks for the tool!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lexmazter:
New update with some fixes that should have been implemented a long time ago...

- Fixed Sideload flashing

- Enabled Recovery rebooting

- Fixed open folder for Stock menu
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] setul34:
Just a quick question. will this tookit work with any Build Number? my 6P Build Number is MMB29M.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] djck:
I tried chainfires image and it finally worked . . i can see dedicated download files on http://lxmultitool.com/ , can you verify download links ?

Thanks for the great work
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lexmazter:
There are no dependencies with any build number, as most of the stuff are done in fastboot and the adb commands are generic for any device (almost).

The version is a little old 1.2.0, the latest version is 1.3.2. Also, did you created the site? I kind of like it, if you want to extend it more I have plenty of ideas (and necessities).

Contact me via PM for more details.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] CarlRian:
Hi Sir.

Can I Access your download link?

my email is aqccarlrian18@gmail.com

thankz in advance sir..

have a nice day!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lexmazter:
I guess I should add a bigger download button or something, the download link is also in the main thread but I guess is not that visible, just click here to get to the downloads page.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] traboll:
I get "access denied" message when I click on the download link. Edit:searched it manually. Thanks a lot for this tool.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lexmazter:
Fixed the links, thanks for letting me know! :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] CarlRian:
Me too Sir ,I got Access Denied.

:(

my androidfilehost account is aqccarlrian18@gmail.com

thankz you sir..
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lexmazter:
Well, now I'm confused, it should work okay now, it could be a problem from Androidfilehost, the previous problem with the links was that I copied an internal link while I was logged in, this is not the case anymore... In the worse case scenarion you could search for the tool in AndroidFileHost...
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] CarlRian:
I got it sir your download link, thankz...

BTW your multi tool can flash a kernel while the phone is soft bricked? or can i flash a stock rom?

thank you Sir LEx...

Sorry for my Bad english....

:)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lexmazter:
As long as Fastboot is working (i.e is not Hard Bricked) you can flash any partition, or stock, doesn't matter.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mskip:
As long as the bootloader is unlocked (or was not relocked before soft-bricking the device).

Mark.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lexmazter:
Well, technically you can still unlock the bootloader even if you have a soft-brick, but yeah, flashing the kernel requires and unlocked bootloader :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] CarlRian:
unlocking bootloader it requires working recovery? Am I right?

how about not working recovery and kernel on my phone?

is your tool can bring my phone dead to life?

:)

sorry for my bad english...

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] CarlRian:
I've found out sir that you dont have 64 bit version...

:) :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lexmazter:
There are only 64 bit versions for mac and linux, and 32 bit works on both for Windows.

As for unlocking, you should try and see what happens, as far as I know it should work fine if you had OEM unlock checked in the Dev settings.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] CarlRian:
thanks for your help sir...

:)

:)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] VALopez:
Can this tool be used to return my phone to stock ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lexmazter:
Yes, there are instructions in the main post, you need to download it manually and extract it.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] CarlRian:
sir you have spreadtrum drivers?

:) :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] CarlRian:
Sir,

I had problem with your multi tool, even I already installed successfully my phone drivers, your multi tool wont detect my phone and when I click refresh button but still nothing happens.

Please help me sir...

I used your windows 32 bit (1.32) version.

Thankz in advance...

(Sorry for my bad english)

:)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lexmazter:
You need the Google drivers installed, for adb you also need USB debugging on from Developer settings. Other than that it should work fine.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] CarlRian:
it seems, my computer has a problem not your tool.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] atef79:
Hello everyone

can this tool unbrick my nexus 6p 100% stock with locked bootloader ?

(soft brick while installing ota update and oem unlock not enabled :( )
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lexmazter:
I guess you can try unlocking the bootloader, you can also try a factory reset (aka hard reset) from stock recovery, there are guides on Google about this.

I hope this helps!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] atef79:
The problem I can't unlock bootloader cause can't start OS so I can't enable usb deb,nor oem unlock

And for factory reset done but doesn't help still same .
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] lurker316:
Do we really need an Unsecure Kernel after a bootloader unlock and Custom recovery to flash custom roms? Don't most roms come with their own kernel? Or I maybe wrong.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lexmazter:
The unsecure kernel is not needed anymore as you can root via Chainfire's Systemless .zip package.

If you flash any custom ROM, again, you need not worry about the kernel, everything should already be packaged (except vendor on some ROMs).

The unsecure kernel was useful if you wanted to Root your stock ROM before systemless root was available.

I hope this helps!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] jivy26:
Maybe I am going full retard, but with 6p plugged into my Mac and hitting refresh the app still has all the buttons greyed out. USB debugging is enabled and have also booted into Fast Boot and no changes. Anyone have tips?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Jrmiller:
100% same issue
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lexmazter:
Unfortunately, the problem doesn't seem to be tool related but rather Mac related.

You can try a couple of things from this link and please let me know if something worked.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Jrmiller:
Thank you I'll take a look at that :highfive:
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] IberianPrince:
If I flashed a stock image, just to upgrade, would it end up wiping my phone? I have an unlocked bootloader already, and running stock rooted...
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lexmazter:
Just look at my instructions from the above quote, it should help you with the upgrade of the software without wiping.

Please note that if you proceed with stock image flashing, you will enjoy a full wipe :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Exostenza:
I need some help guys. I have never had an issue and now with two toolkits I can't unlock my device.... is there something I am missing. Usually it is just setup the drivers and have have it unlock the device in the bootloader... Nothing works.

EDIT: Didn't realize I had to click OEM unlock in developer options which the skipsoft tool was kind enough to inform me of.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lexmazter:
Just as a small info update, the next version will finally have a proper installer to further increase the user-friendliness of the tool, and, as a bonus, there will be an installer for each platform. Keep tuned ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Guessphx:
Can i flash the recent radio and bootloader with this?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lexmazter:
Yes, you can! You just need to download the latest Google release, extract all archives into the Flashable folder and then just flash the bootloader and then the radio from the Flashing section.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] byron1985:
How do i use the restore function? everytime i try to do a restore from a back up it says "sh: line 1: ./adb: No such file or directory" Anyone have any ideas?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lexmazter:
Oups, it seems that there is a bug in the tool, you can use the Terminal function to manually restore until I provide a new version with this bug fixed.

The terminal can be opened from the main window, from the same menu as check for updates and about. the command to do that is:

./adb_(mac/linux) restore Backup/(nameofyourbackup)

I hope this helps... I will try to update the tool as soon as possible with this fix.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] djck:
hello , can you tell me how to find the latest v1.3.2 for Linux ? i can not find it on lxmultitool.com , where is the direct download link for latest version ?

Regards
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lexmazter:
The website you mentioned is not mantained by me, it's not my domain and i'm not responsible for what you can find on it.

The only download links wich are directly uploaded by me are on the first post, the big Download button.

I only upload to AndroidFileHost and before this I used MediaFire.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] havy15:
when i try to open this on mac it gives me an error,"no such file or directory" and"Premature end of data"
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lexmazter:
Are you on Sierra? So far it seems that it doesn't work on Sierra, will try to update it soon to support sierra...
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] havy15:
yes i am on sierra , and alright any eta when there will be an update?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] zar marco:
Hi, how using it on Linux? I've download latest version. My distro is arch

Inviato dal mio Nexus 6P utilizzando Tapatalk
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lexmazter:
Unfortunately I have no ETA as I need to update my VM to Sierra first, will investigate this week.

There should be enough information in the main post, there is a big FAQ on how to use it, the main part is that you have to install some of the libs:

Q: Are there any other software that I need to install in order to run this tool?

On Windows and MAC everything is bundled, so nothing needs to be installed, just run.

On Linux you need to install from your package manager libQt5Core, libQt5Widgets, libQt5Gui, libQt5Network.

If it's not enough, use ldd LxMultiTool in terminal to find out what you're missing from your environment.

Then you only need to double click LxMultiTool bin file from the extracted archive.

I hope this helps :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] fabulous69:
Hi !

thx for developping such a tool

Also waiting for a Sierra compatible version :)

Thank you a lot:good:
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tristam15:
Your detailed explanation is simply superb.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] zeeshantayyab:
hi,i need to unlock bootloader this device nexus 6p nougat 7.0,can't do with this tool,my device go to fast boot mode but afterthat tool cant unlock the bootloader,

i cant access to usb debugging option bcoz my device is frp lock and onemore thing is does i manage to update it or downgrade it stock rom in this positon?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] thesticks00:
Hello,

I am a 6P user rooted and running megapixel rom. Can I use this on my macbook to return the 6P to stock? I need to send in for RMA. I think this is what I need. Thanks for the hard work.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lexmazter:
Yes, you can use this tool to return to stock, but beware that this tool doesn't work yet on Sierra.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] thesticks00:
So the fact that I am running the megapixel rom which makes my device think its a pixel should not prevent me from being able to use the tool? The tool will be able to recognize that I am on a nexus 6P regardless of the megapixel rom?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lexmazter:
The tool doesn't care what device you have to be honest, so if you want to use it on Nexus 6P, you can use it.

It could work on Pixel as well, but it's not tested yet as I don't have it.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] thesticks00:
Edit: I am going to assume that everything is working alright now. After a few boot loops it seems to have updated. Going to lock the device and try to RMA it. Thank you!!

I am attempting to return to stock and I have done everything in the instructions. I am not sure if the tool worked. I am in bootloader (android laying on back with belly flap open and start in green on right side). I have unzipped the right package and placed in the folder as instructed. I have a connection to the phone as I am able to select options in the app. Selected "Stock" and it let me see the "angler-n4f26j" folder in the Stock Menu window for stock packages. When I click open folder, it opens a window with another folder of the same name, I have to open that folder to see the contents. Now it is claimed that stock image is flashed but on my phone there is an image of the android laying down with belly flap open and a red triangel and exclamation mark. Under that is says error. Please advise.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] falle21:
Can I use this tool with lastest OTA? I wanna unlock bootloader and install TWRP. Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lexmazter:
The tool should work with any software version, if you enounter any problem, just let me know!

Also, the TWRP version included in this tool is rather old, you should download the latest TWRP version from here and copy it in the folder for flashing (either Flashing or Recovery).
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hughfollett:
Hi [MENTION=4206980]Lexmazter[/MENTION] I'm trying to unlock my 6P on linux but using the platform tools package from google, the terminal doesn't recognize the "fastboot flashing unlock" command. I even used sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb/fastboot (hope i typed the right ones) to no avail. I'm on linux mint cinnamon, is it safe to use your tool? Just checking cause I saw latest update is from january. TIA
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lexmazter:
Hello, there, the app is still compatible and should still work. Please note that platform tools are already included in the package.

You don't use the terminal with this tool, you use the GUI. Check the FAQ to figure out how to make it work on Linux.

I hope this helps.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hughfollett:
So I'm trying to use this tool but it doesn't recognise my phone. The packages you said to check in the FAQ are installed and using ldd lxmultitool it gives me a list of files with their different location, so I suppose everything is in place? What am i missing?

EDIT: ITS WORKING! Thank you for this tool!!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] PieOfJustice:
Device connected. Everything is greyed out. Refreshing doesn't do anything.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] murphyjasonc:
Make sure your USB is mounted as MTP or PTP. It doesn't work if its mounted as charging only which is the default for some ROM's.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] PieOfJustice:
Connected as MTP.

AFT works and detects the device. Lx Multi Tool does not.

ADB detects the device.

Tried other versions. Same thing. All buttons are disabled and app refuses to connect to device.

EDIT: So looks like the MAC version is broken.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] rcklss1:
any word on if this still works for mac? i see the last post says its broken but thats from may... my 6p will be here next week and was hoping to get root with my mac
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lexmazter:
Hi there, it depends on the version of mac that you have, the latest MAC version is not fixed yet, I have implemented a fix but I have not created a new release for it since I didn't thought that people still use it :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] rcklss1:
im on Sierra 10.12.6 if you could push the fix that would awesome! i would def donate a bit if it worked
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Tung_meister:
It's standalone - though unlocking bootloader won't work until the OP releases an updated version.

Edit: I've attached an updated bat file that can be used until the OP updates.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lexmazter:
Updated with the correct command for unlocking, hope it works now :)

Note: MAC version might not work as the fastboot binary is ancient, if somebody would be nice to provide a "fresh" fastboot and adb bin I would be thankful!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hutzdani:
Yeah the windows version works now, also updating the binarys from the SDK fixed it also
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tmorterlaing:
This is something that seems to have been completely swept over by everyone else on this thread for some reason!? I can live without Pay, but does it actually disable the fingerprint scanner? That would be terrible. Anyone?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lexmazter:
I don't have the device (unable to buy it in my country, yet) so I cannot confirm what happens... AFAIK only Android Pay will be disabled, don't know anything about the fingerprint...
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] compchick813:
Want to know this as well.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hutzdani:
1. Unlocking the boot loader does not disable the fingerprint scanner

2. Unlocking and relocking the bootloader does not kill the qfuse
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] airmark:
I confirm that. I unlocked the bootloader, and the qfuse remained in place, and the fingerprint reader works with no issues. Haven't used google pay, but I guess it would work as well.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Deekayy:
I just unlocked the bootloader and rebooted my device. Upon booting before the loading screen it said something about my phone is unlocked and it's checking if my files are corrupted and then said to lock boot loader. i ignored the warning and proceeded to boot to start screen. did anyone else get this message after unlocking?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] bentez2003:
Does unlocking the bootloader still require a data wipe?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lexmazter:
It does that automatically after you unlock, even after relock+unlock.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] MamaSaidWhat?:
Thanks for creating this multi tool. I've just unlocked my bootloader and flashed TWRP using it, but now I'm in a bootloop. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to remedy this? I can access TWRP using the power/volume button commands but now I can't boot my 6P up.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lexmazter:
You should try from recovery to erase cache.

Also you can try an erase data partition, basically a factory reset.

Have you booted into the ROM after unlocking the bootloader?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] MamaSaidWhat?:
Tried erasing both cache and data, no luck.

I'm 99% sure I booted up after unlocking my bootloader.

Should I just start again?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lexmazter:
Apparently there are lots of failed stuff there, you can try flashing the original ROM again from here.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] MamaSaidWhat?:
I started again and relocked my bootloader, unlocked it again, rebooted in to Android and then installed TWRP. Tried installing the ROM from the link you sent me, still no joy. It looks to me like TWRP can't read any of my internal storage (shows nothing when i look inside /sdcard) and i'm still getting all the same error messages. I'm really struggling here haha.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lexmazter:
On the link I sent you, try flashing the cache.img, if that helps I have an ideea what might be wrong...
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] MamaSaidWhat?:
I ended up flashing the latest stock (system, cache etc.) img in its entirety. Still no joy.

Any other ideas? Thanks for all your help, I'm sure you have better things to be doing haha.

Edit: deleted data 2/3 times, flashed the chainfire kernel and everything seems to be working now. Thanks again.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lexmazter:
Well, I guess I have no more ideas if you already tried flashing all the stock stuff using the directions provided from that link.

You can though try again with the TWRP, maybe now it works... But I'm really out of ideas...
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] shawnten:
when flashing recovery does it also flash the modified boot.img
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lexmazter:
Nope...
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] phistyle:
Not sure why it's not working.. i enabled the oem unlock and usb debugging already. I press 1 to unlock bootloader and after i press any key it just sits at (waiting for device)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] poczynek:
Can you backup with this, unlock bootloader which will wipe and then restore?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] chevycam94:
It takes 3 separate steps, different menus, with his tool I believe. Could be wrong.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lexmazter:
You can do that, as mentioned there are 3 steps.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tmorterlaing:
From this thread then am I correct in saying the QFuse doesnt get blown if you unlock the bootloader. Does that include flashing a custom kernel or ROM?

If it doesnt blow with these criteria, when and why DOES it blow? And what implications would that actually have?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] treIII:
Reboot the computer

Sent from my Nexus 6 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lexmazter:
Here you can read in a lot of detail about the QFuse. As far as I found out, the QFuse does not get blown upon unlocking the bootloader, but this might not be entirely true.

From other sources I got the understanding tha Google Pay(only?) will be the one to look after this QFuse and will not be available if it's not present.

Since the phone is barely released, there are still lots of missing information about how, when and what happens when the QFuse is blown, all we can do is look at other devices that have this functionality implemented. Maybe the QFuse is present as it's a piece of hardware but is not used at all (since it's a nexus, you probably want to unlock bootloader and still have full control).

I hope this helps.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] shawnten:
I just unlocked the bootloader and I think everything went good but now when I reboot the device it saysyour device software cant be checked for corruption please relock your device. is this normal?
