getting random hard bootloops...unable to boot into recovery nor android. it was able reboot successfully once...thought it was a fluke, now has been rebooting for the last 3 hours.

running Pure Nexus Nougat 10/10/2016 release, ElementalX 3.06, SuperSU 2.78 SR1 systemless, and Magisk v7

really sucks because I've been running Pure Nexus MM with ElementalX for pretty much 10 months now with zero issue.

UPDATE 8:57PM:

was able to use fastboot to erase boot & recovery. flashed NBD90X boot & recovery, then erased boot & recovery again. then proceeded to flash TWRP 3.0.2-2, rebooted into recovery. luckily was able to boot into recovery. from there reflashed pure nexus, and all is good now.

not sure if i want to use elementalx again after dealing with this for a good 5-6 hours today.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] codygs83:
Maybe a dumb question, but will this kernel also increase my read and write speed? I'm asking because coming from the Moto 6 to the 6p the speed in which es file explorer compresses and decompresses is way slower on the 6p even though I'm on stock non encrypted.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] th3discodancer:
Why blame the developer for your own lack of attention?

Did you do any reading before flashing? I don't think so.

When you're rooted you can't just blindly do whatever you ducking feel like without any reading and then go onto blaming the developer for it. Majority of PN users run EX on their devices so if you duck up, it's obviously something wrong that you did.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] oussamalabbize:
Any update for the 7.1 DP1 ? :P
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Considering source isn't out yet, no lol.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] oussamalabbize:
Lol, thx :D
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hellowasif:
Have anyone tried this Kernal on Android 7.1 yet ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Why don't you try and let us know? ;)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hellowasif:
Haha come on man u r lead developer of nexus 6P here and i dont wanna take initiative. I hope you understand :p:p:p
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hachiroku:
i did read...and i have used ElementalX for a very long time on MM. why do you think i even flashed it with Nougut? I spent 3 days reading threads of each add on to make sure I flash them in the correct order. you are the one being hostile here, so calm down. if i did something wrong, then help me do it right. I followed the same steps as everybody else have, so there you go pointing your fingers. grow the hell up man this is a learning community.

grow up man.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hachiroku:
regardless i will be starting over limiting what i add on or flash over the next few days or weeks. all of the folks to did report of random reboots in this thread seem to have resolved their issues. i'll give it another go.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ChronoReverse:
I noticed there are options to overclock the A53's. Is there a benefit to doing this? Would it allow threads to stay on the A53's more often instead of migrating to the A57's perhaps?

Not sure if the A53's would still save power if pushed to over stock though.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Maxamillion:
Has anyone tested the mic gain yet? Does it improve how well the other person can hear you?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] emmittobie:
I was able to get it sorted out. I started fresh and flashed a clean stock image and took it from there. Appreciate the help. Best wishes.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] memphisuklf:
getting a boot loop with this. Currently on chroma rom and not sure what the problem is. Any help appreciated.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] NovaSlim:
You installed the kernel without unchecking enforcing(last page in aroma)? If so, uncheck it.

It is stated so on the OP
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] memphisuklf:
Didn't see that option on there
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] NovaSlim:
Last page( or maybe second to last), scroll all the way down. It is there.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] MrDSL:
Just bought the app...is there a way to increase speaker volume when on call?

I always have a hard time hearing people. Not speaker phone but just in ear volume.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] memphisuklf:
Will check again in a sec. Sure it wasn't there as I was looking for it :D
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] NovaSlim:
How about you blink twice and look harder? :p

Right before the Installation page in Aroma
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] memphisuklf:
Lol I found it. Typical bloke looking for something as the wife would say.

What would you suggest I start off with in the settings Not sure what governors or schedule to choose for optimal settings?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] NovaSlim:
Just run stock, it works great for me.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] resynx:
Stock settings are optimal :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] zgroten:
What's the benefit of unchecking enforcing? I'm not sure what it does.

---------- Post added at 01:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:59 AM ----------

Hey what's the benefit of checking or unchecking this option?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
There is not a benefit thing but a is it necessary thing? Some ROMs require a Permissive kernel to boot, others are okay with an Enforcing kernel. If your ROM fails to boot with that option checked, you need to reflash with that option unchecked.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] romracer:
Its a security thing. Ideally, you'd want SELinux in enforcing mode or its not doing anything (in permissive mode, it only logs what it would have denied in enforcing mode).

But as others have stated, I guess enforcing doesn't work with some custom ROMs. This should be viewed by the user (you) as a compromise in security for some desired benefit (benefit being whatever ROM and its additions you've chosen to run).

If you want some reading material to put you to sleep in bed, read up on SELinux and, in general, mandatory access control. To me, both are fascinating subjects. But I'm a Linux geek at my day job, too.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] zgroten:
Would this interfere with xposed framework?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Badger50:
Not at all.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] anglerstock:
With flar2 permission, can some users post vattery screenshots? I am curious how everybody is doing. Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] NovaSlim:
Mr. Screen is never on here :D

Not doing too badly ;) Stock settings, Elementalx governor(not tuned to N6P yet), Swipe to wake all direction, Swipe to sleep both directions.

Phone sleeps like a baby, Fi signal have been good and Doze is very nice to have, Black Themed gapps and wallpaper contributing as well. If you are going to look at SOT numbers you will have to wait for someone else.

But judging Battery life by other people's result have always been an iffy business: screen brightness/cell signal/app usage pattern/wakelocks etc all influence battery life more than a kernel do.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] CappyT:
To anyone asking, IT DOES work on 7.1.1.

Just tested.

As always, flash at your own risk. It may break your system, so have a backup!!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hachiroku:
i think my phone is dead. it went to boot loop again, and i couldn't fix it. i then proceeded to a full factory restore using the flash-all.bat with the latest image through fastboot.

still cannot boot or boot into recovery or system. calling google after i get some sleep.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] SchmilK:
I don't think Google Camera likes the ElementalX kernel. When I start camera it is VERY dark switch to video and it's white washed.

Going to reboot and reinstall stock kernel and see if its the same

*edit*

Stock kernel and camera works fine.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] CappyT:
Oh snap you're right. Well, it seems the dev should work on it.

Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] SchmilK:
Makes me not feel bad about being on stock kernel and seeing if the System process uses less battery like it does on the Pixel.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] madozz:
can we flash over stock rom that i just rooted ? 7.0
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] steveo17:
the source code has not yet been released. [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] is usually very quick with updates. just be patient
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
ElementalX is about stability and working perfectly. It works perfectly on stock ROM and no-bs ROMs like Pure Nexus.

Source code for developer previews is usually not available right away. I think Google is trying to get some solid testing in with the stock kernel when they release the previews. I'm not going to try to reverse engineer breakage for preview releases with no source code.

Therefore, preview releases are not supported until source is released. Use at your own risk and don't report issues here.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] chris6278:
3.06 works fine w 7.1
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] john7760:
Only bug I've found is in the camera. I get a very dark screen on camera and support bright on video. Anyone else?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] steveo17:
yes. please read the thread before posting about things which are broken
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] john7760:
I understand but since everybody was saying that it worked fine on 7.1 I figured I'd let everybody know that there was an issue prior of them flashing and causing problems. I apologize
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tomz997:
I know you don't want to work on a non-final version but 3.06 works very well with nougat 7.1.1 .. except dark camera ... Do you only have a clue on how to correct manually (by changing config file value for example) that darkness ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sm4tik:
The new google camera from pixel has a manual exposure option, you'll find it googling around. You could try other cameras out there also if you really need to 1. have the latest update and 2. get usable photos.

Edit. Surfing on the bleeding edge comes always packed with compromises. This is a choice one has to consciously make and either live with it, or take the safe route and come right behind with something that's been fully tested and found to be solid. A big thanks goes to those who are willing to walk on the edge though, this will make things work faster towards a stable rom/kernel as there's already x amount of info available for the devs what to keep an eye on.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tomz997:
For your information, I tried "Pro Shot" apk and the same problem of darkness...

I know that surfing on the edge (as you said) come with compromises ;) But, some people need to test for others that are not willing to ;) If I asked for a temporary solution it's because i'm ready to test it for others!

Thanks !
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Takiyon:
Anything in the system i could modify? Where are the resistance values? Maybe i could do some research and try to get it working.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hachiroku:
thanks for the explaination flar2, sorry for assuming EX is what caused my phone to bootloop. after completing a full restore it seems the phone itself is dead. once replacement comes i'll proceed to continue to be a lone time supporter of EX kernel. glad to know you use released source for these kernels as in the past with other phones ground up built kernels have given me many issues with random reboots.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Maxr1998:
Just reading that, does this mean I could patch the kernel myself with my own resistance values to get it working with my Apple-compatible Sennheiser headphones?

If what I'm talking about makes no sense, please ignore.

I'm pretty sleepy right now.. :silly:
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] p0k3y:
So how do you flash this if unrooted? Do you boot with TWRP recovery temporarily and then install the zip? Does that work with 7.0? I used to do that to edit build.prop and update hosts files, but those changes are now ignored by 7.0. I read that if I have a custom kernel, then those changes will work. Is that true?

I don't want to root because I want to use Android Pay, although recently AP doesn't work on unlocked bootloaders any more, so that may be a moot point.

Any thoughts/confirmation would be appreciated.

Edit: Just rolled the dice and installed it on my unrooted 6p. The answers to my questions above are YES. Now everything works - Google Assistant, Ad blocking hosts file. But no Android Pay, which is not surprising as it seems to be blocking all unlocked bootloaders now. Google is just real sh*t nowadays...
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] MidnightDevil:
I am using 7.1 and ElementalX, since I use the camera a lot, is there a way to revert back to stock kernel without needing to reflash the whole thing? boot.img?

Thanks, apologies if it's a dumb question.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ultyrunner:
As long as you are completely stock (no custom ROM) then you can flash the stock boot image and you will get your stock kernel.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mobileman88:
What version of twrp are you using? Might be you nuked your efs.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] MidnightDevil:
Thanks, just rooted, flashed original image as I don't think we have custom for 7.1 yet :)I won't be able to boost the sound with stock kernel won't I ?

Thanks for your help :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ultyrunner:
You still can boost your sound with stock kernel. While I use ElementalX kernel, I don't touch the sound boost there. If you flash A.R.I.S.E. sound mod, you can do almost anything you want to your sound - volume is just one of many improvements, including a kick-ass EQ.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] OneNutShort:
Do they typically release beta source?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
They did for both the 6.0 and 7.0 developer previews
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hachiroku:
latest...3.0.2-2...same combo successful folks were using. my phone was working awesome for 2 days. phone was fast and battery life was awesome...no issues until the day of death where it gave me 3 bootloops each time worse and the 3rd time unrecoverable. i did find a thread on the Q&A or Help section of the forum...seems a lot of people have had phones fail on them for no reason. I haven't fully read through the whole thread, but they haven't identified the cause yet. We do know that the memory was changed from Samsung to Toshiba for the later phones.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tarantedong:
Hi. Been using ElementalX 3.06 with EX Kernel Manager, I'm on my second week. I noticed the hexacore mode not sticking. Is this triggered whenever I charge my phone? Or does this happen whenever I switch CPU governors? Does it really make a difference 6- vs. 8-cores in terms of battery life?

I haven't used my device for gaming, so I am very much okay with just 6-cores. Everything else is solid with EX; average 4:30 SoT, 20 hours of moderate use. Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mobileman88:
There's a critical bug in 3.0.2-2 which you are using. you will need to use 3.0.2-3 to make reliable EFS backups and restores. you probably nuked your EFS. I recalled someone posting how to restore a nuked EFS somewhere but can't seem to find the post. It'd help to post in the TWRP 3.0.2 thread. Get the unofficial 3.0.2-3 as it supports N and working EFS
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] twistanesh:
Here's hoping ex kernel will be updated for 7.1.1 so I can finally flash it
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] oldman_58:
I am using EX on 7.1.1, no problems at all.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Batfink33:
There was kernel changes in 7.1.1 so I'm waiting on the sources being updated. The battery life is much better on 7.1 for me so there might be changes in the kernel sources causing this.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] narcosis34:
I read at the previous post that kindly the member posted about the profiles of the kernel , but honestly cant decide which one is the most commonly used for increased sot without sacrifising too much performance.

Is it the dragonfly , excalibur , black pepper , heimdall , ghost pepper , hawktail ?

So i ask for you guys that you are more time rooted and with custom kernel, its my first time , which one you suggest for daily use based on your experience ?

Thank you in advance
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] dew912:
Flar2 will hopefully add the patch to hide bootloader unlock from SafetyNet

In one of the upcoming releases. I don't think it's necessarily Google, rather pressure from the banks. Mobile pay is big money/big liability
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] therock3181:
It's a matter of personal experience with any profiles. Your habit is different then mine so are your apps, ROM and custom kernel. Read this thread. Yes there is a lot of pages and posts but you will get the picture soon enough.

Http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/guide-advanced-interactive-governor-t3290605

I personally use Deadpool and Excalibur v2.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Your camera should be messed up and apparently Bluetooth or tethering may be as well. Not flar2's fault of course, every custom kernel should work fine once source is dropped.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] zamula:
The EFS bug was in 3.0.2-1. The bug in 3.0.2-2 causes backups to error (I believe if you use compression), but that version doesn't have the EFS issue. Regardless, the dd commands to clear the EFS may be worth a shot. (I think they are listed in the "let's fix this brick together" thread.)

It's also worth noting some users have gotten an unfixable bootloop that has nothing to do with TWRP or the EFS problem. My 6P spontaneously got stuck in the unfixable boot before 7.0 was even out, and I ended up doing an RMA. Good luck!

Exkm says the screen on time is 5 h but the battery tab in settings says SOT is 2 hours and MX player in foreground for 2 hours which is 5 can anyone explain this for me please ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] piodrick:
sure, it has nothing to do with my player, exkm just doesn't reset stats after full charge, as you can see it also shows that screen used 126% of battery.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] bemagrp:
Yes, I know, just want to know which changes were posted.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Update!!!

Nougat

ElementalX-N6P-3.07

Changes:

-verified boot patch (@sultanxda)

-performance optimizations
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] incognitonk:
I'm still on 6.0.1 with the September patch with the stock kernel. Do I flash v1.22 or v3.07?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mobileman88:
Does this work with 7.1.1?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] bemagrp:
v.1.22

ROMs with July security patches or later! WiFi will not work on earlier ROMs
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Source is not out yet. From the reports, it looks like the camera doesn't work properly but otherwise okay.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] twistanesh:
Hey so this means for the Nexus 6P I shouldn't update to 7.1.1. ( I need Elemental X Kernel to work) The latest update doesn't fix that camera issue yet I guess right?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] incognitonk:
I got a zip signature verification failed error with v1.22.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mobileman88:
Yeah. [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] just confirmed that.

---------- Post added at 12:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------

Thanks. Will look forward to have it when the sources are dropped.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Do you have zip verification enabled in TWRP?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hartleyshc:
I'm running it on 7.1.1 by installing the vendor image from 7.0.

Not sure if it causes other issues, but I haven't noticed any, and the camera works as it should.

Edit: seems hotspot is broken doing this. Wifi, Bluetooth, and via USB.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mobileman88:
Just ignore that. As long as your zip is intact it will flash fine

---------- Post added at 02:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 PM ----------

Interesting way of getting it to work. Shall try that and observe
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] incognitonk:
Nevermind.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mobileman88:
[MENTION=1459374]hartleyshc[/MENTION]

I tried changing to NRD90X vendor.img and flashed with EX 3.07, I am getting the following error although the phone seems to be working ok. Not sure if it's simply a vendor.img mismatch issue and nothing to worry about.

"Android System"

"There's an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details." right after the "Beta Program" popup upon each boot.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hartleyshc:
Yes. That's what the error is from.

Also I've noticed hotspot is broken. Wifi works.

Will try some third party apps to see if I can resolve that issue.

Edited my original post to reflect hotspot not working.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] steveo17:
yes, this is because of the vendor image mismatch
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] MaddScientist:
Are all versions of hotspot broken (WiFi, USB, and Bluetooth?)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] guitar1238751:
For some reason the "Elementalx tab" has disappeared for me in EX Kernel Manager. This tab used to available even if you didn't have the kernel installed. I'm on a Nexus 6P, 7.1.1 Dev Preview.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hartleyshc:
Have only tested wifi.

I'll run some tests on the other forms and edit my original post about using another vendor image.

This is an extremely hacky way to get around the camera issue, so I don't want to clutter up the thread with this testing. Especially since 7.1.1 isn't supported. I'll send you a pm with my findings when I edit my original post.

Edit: testing was quicker than I thought lol.

Bluetooth and usb do not work for hotspot either.

So consider hotspot not working at all. I will try some third party apps and edit my original post.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] MaddScientist:
Appreciated ..thanks
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mobileman88:
Have reverted back to stock till the new kernel sources drop for now. It was an interesting experiment.
