Can anyone help? I'm stuck on the Google logo with the lock icon. I did a clean install using twrp-3.0.2-0-angler. Something like this:

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_h8VRRUyrGg/hqdefault.jpg

What I did:

-Wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik cache in Wipe > Advanced Wipe

-Update your vendor image (MDA89D_vendor)

-Flash Pure Nexus zip(purenexus_angler-7.1.1-20161215-OFFICIAL)

-Flash GApps zip(Mini_Dynamic_GApps-7.1.x-20161215)

-Flash root(SR1-SuperSU-v2.79-SR1-20161221223537)

Any idea what I need to do exactly to get out of this screen? Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] hachiroku:
nope. have you tried wiping and reflashing?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kyzn:
Wrong vendor.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] LEXX911:
Can you tell me the proper vendor? Can I go back to TWRP and try all the steps again? Is the NMF26F_vendor.img the proper vendor?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jt1998:
NMF26F

yes. Enter twrp and flash vendor image by installing image and choosing vendor option.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kyzn:
Yes it is. And you might want to consider updating your TWRP, version 3.0.3 was released a few weeks ago.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] LEXX911:
Thanks. It's now working!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] fordthunder:
Hey guys don't shoot me but I'm looking for the viper4andoid files for our phone but I'm getting mixed information from a Google search on which zips to use.

Can someone point me into the lastest install directions and zips?

Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] gonzlobo:
Yes! I get it after a reboot. Sometimes it fixes itself when I restart Nova launcher... Of course it's not working now! Gah. Clearing cache for Nova or Google doesn't fix it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] cathlynn:
Clean flash but still having some issues

First of all, thanks [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] for the new build. I have followed the instructions and did a clean flash and I'm still having some issues.

What I did:

Wipe > Advanced Wipe: System, Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache

Flash vendor image (NMF26F_vendor.img)

Flash Pure Nexus zip (purenexus_angler-7.1.1-20161215-OFFICIAL.zip)

Flash GApps zip (open_gapps-arm64-7.1-mini-20161220.zip) - I was not able to get Dynamic GApps to flash, it keep erroring.

Flash custom kernel (optional) - franco kernel

Flash root (SuperSU v2.79)

Flash Adaway seamless

Flash GoogleAssistantVelvet.zip

Flash GoogleAssistantBuildProp.zip

Current issues:

Hotspot will not turn on. Keep showing error (see attached video - had to zip it up because xda won't let you upload mp4 files).

Miracast doesn't seem to be working, cannot cast to Windows 10 PC anymore. Have tried build.prop fix suggestion as well and even after reboot, still cannot cast to Windows 10 PC. Normal Chromecast works fine.

Tap & Pay no longer works. Previous build would work some times with some machine while others would give you that dreaded "Multiple card" error. Now it just doesn't work at all.

Ok Google will not turn on - probably because of Open GApps

If anyone can help with the above problems that would be awesome!

So now I'm stuck with Verify Your Account. So is there a proper procedure to add a new account? There use to be another Google Account that I created for my brother awhile ago for this phone but he's not using it so now I'm trying to create another account and it's not letting me. Is there a proper procedure to do a factory reset? Most of the FRP Youtube procedure doesn't work for me at all since Voice Settings and Help&Feedback does not open at all on this ROM for me to continue the procedure.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] StarShoot97:
This is a new safety feature in Nougat, much like on the iPhone, so there is no workaround. Try resetting the password on the account or contact the Google support.

Edit: If you flash a Marshmallow Rom the authentication should be gone, at least in theory. Don't know if it's maybe tied to the updated Gapps, in that case you'd need an older file.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Jimjk1968:
Before I start I must say i'm not about to blame anything on my current situation. I love PN I was hitting F5 daily to get me some nougat. Last tuesday i was on a phone call and all of the sudden I heard a squelch kind of sound and my phone rebooted and died. It went into a bootloop which 1st comes the google logo and then the warning to relock my bootloader and it just loops that continuously. Oh and cant get into twrp. If you choose recovery from download mode you just restart bootloop. I tried the toolkit and comes back on in the same situation. You can see the new bootloader and radios like it flashed fine but still bootlooping. I was still under warranty so i am getting a replacement but now i'm worried about being able to relock. I sent it to someone that wanted to try to fix it before i realized i still had a warranty. I thought it had expired. So i wont know til tuesday if relocking will work. So my question is anyone else have this problem and if so did you succesfully relock the bootloader? :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] cobija:
Happened to me as well. The way i fixed it was Settings->Display->Display Size->change it to something else and change it back. I had originally reduced the display size though, so hopefully that works for you.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] LEXX911:
Just freaking great! I don't even remember the gmail or the pw I created for him and I don't even remember if I even back it up on my computer anywhere. It was a long time ago and he didn't even use the phone. I finally got it back and never thought that I would have come to this. So there is no proper procedure to even create or add a new existing account that isn't tie to the phone? Is there even a way to access the file(s) on the phone because I remember writing down the PW and the email onto one of the NOTE app. Only thing is that I can't seem to find any of that app in the Nexus 6P folder in Windows Explorer(probably got wiped after a clean installation).
[Nexus 6P Android Development] tarantedong:
Do you have "System UI Tuner" enabled? Try: "Remove from settings." It fixed the crashes for me but I'm on SAOSP. You can enable the tuner again once system.ui stops crashing. This "might" also work in PN before you try doing a clean flash. Good luck.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] pmsrefugee:
Haven't had any problems until recently my Google Smart unlock stopped working for locations. Searched but didn't see anything. Anyone else sees this problem or should I just dirty flash?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] frost_nz:
You don't need the systemless zip for AdAway anymore. Just install the latest APK from their XDA thread, and there's an option to install the systemless hosts in the application.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ast32:
Smart Unlock has always been wonky for me even on stock. I say delete the profile for the trusted location and try setting it up again.

I have to do this to Smart Unlock for a Bluetooth conference speaker I use regularly maybe once a month.

No plan to add it on 7.1.1 ?

Back to MM on my 6p because of this, tried 7.1.1 on my 5x, but no volume steps, and I didn't find any mod for this.

Does someone know how to add more volume steps ?

Thx!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Einwod:
Thanks everyone for the replies. I got so frustrated with it, I did a factory reset this morning. It's working normally now. Just to redo PN.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ChemoNL:
Hey Guys,

Quick question,

I have PN 7.1.1 with magisk and phh's superuser and twrp 3.0.3, can i encrypt my phone and still be able to use twrp and magisk etc?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] M0lle:
Today has been the first time since I installed 20161215 that I've had to use the hotspot functionality as my sole connectivity to the net. Within three hours the hotspot has cut out thrice, each time showing it's still running.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] StarShoot97:
You have to first unlock the phone in order to be able to add another one, no matter what you're trying

If you don't remember the details, call Google support

If you wiped the data, the notes are probably gone, as they mostly don't get saved as files on the sdcard

If you have a Nandroid backup of the phone, you could easily extract the app + data from there.

Without the gmail account it should be pretty difficult to enter the phone
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Soulfly3:
Hey guys... not sure if anyone remembers me (likely not).... But I'm back! Between some health issues and moving away, haven't been on here or updated a damn thing, in well... a solid 6 months or so.

Figured it was time to get on Nougat, and I wasn't getting on Nougat unless Beans had this baby going.

So after a ton of work, reading and such... I'm back... ROM is baby smooth. Loving it so far. Install went quite smooth aside from getting a notifcation that my vendor was incorrect, tho it was 500% the correct one. Just went back into recovery, flashed it again, and voila.

Glad to be back. Looking forward to messing around again. This looks quite lovely!

Oh ya... is Elemental X still the kernel to use for performance/battery life optimization? Thanks and happy new year!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jt1998:
I'm using elementalx with no problems!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Soulfly3:
Thanks! Installed it regardless. If there is one thing I always knew for sure, it was that [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] knows how to build a kernel

and I also cannot live without swipe2sleep
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DowntownRDB:
[MENTION=5621301]Soulfly3[/MENTION] Welcome Back. I'm currently using Flash Kernel v4.2 by Nate Chancellor (The Flash). His thread is in development but is currently closed. His builds are available

I get great performance and battery life and the kernel is loaded with features. Give it a shot and see what you think. :good:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sheppy1:
Anyone know if the car bluetooth bug exists in this ROM? The bug I'm referring too is one that exists in official Nougat but not Marshmallow and the symptoms are that phones will not connect to a variety of in car bluetooth systems. Phones will constantly connect and disconnect.

Thanks
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Soulfly3:
Nate Nate? The nate from this thread? The Nate that answered questions before they were even asked? He built a kernel?

Damn, good for him. I'll have to check it out sometime soon.

Looking at the changes for the upcoming build, does that last entry refer to fixing the Pixel nav bar issue when changing nav bar with substratum?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jt1998:
I have no issues with Bluetooth on this rom.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ast32:
I'm still on TWRP 3.0.2 but otherwise I'm encrypted with everything here and SafetyNet passes.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ChemoNL:
Thanks for your reply.

Would you be so kind to explain your flashing method?

And when did you activate encryption?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] LEXX911:
Not exactly sure what you mean "You have to first unlock the phone in order to be able to add another one". The phone is sim unlock and on the bootload screen it is said "Device is UNLOCKED." The thing is that I did use one of my other Google Account to setup the Nexus 6P for the very first time and it is recorded in my email for the date June 27 2016. But I wiped that account off the phone and created another account for him after I finished setting the phone up for him.

Is there a way to downgrade the December security patch and would that work?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sheppy1:
Brill! Thanks :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] StarShoot97:
I mean you have to unlock (sign in) with your brother's account. It's locked to his account, without entering his data you can't use the phone.

You could try wiping the rom and installing an older Marshmallow version, this might work.

Read what I wrote before asking silly questions, those are the possibilities you have.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] 44hats:
I'm curious to know this as well. Other than the navbar issue w/ substratum, everything has been great! Haven't ran into any other issues.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] LEXX911:
Nope like I said. He never touches the phone and never log into the new account that I created for him. And I have already try downgrading to Marshmallow and that doesn't work because the December Security patch is already install. It's not like I haven't try most of the bypassing procedures out there and non seems to have work. It's already been said that the December security path is the problem right now for most people who are on it. I was about to try a Data recovery to see if I can recover the NOTE but since I can't get into SETTINGS it's totally useless. I'm trying to see all the options available before I probably see if I can get the prove of purchase of the Nexus 6P and have it send it back to get a factory reset.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] hachiroku:
sadly there is a "possiblity" your phone's hardware has failed. I had a similar issue but while I was browsing the web. after being able to boot up once then fail again...then to complete a full factory recovery at bootloader only to result in the same boot loop I called it quits. it seems more than a small group of individuals have had called phones. luckily Google replaced my phone free of charge as I was in my 12th month, the final month of warranty.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dy2592:
Does anyone else have an issue where apps from the play store just stall and sit there when you try to install them? Sometimes I have to hit the cancel and restart it or sometimes I find that hitting the recents button and then back into the play store it forces the app to start downloading.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] hachiroku:
no Bluetooth issues yet...I did have annoyances new pairings with car audio though...Android would just tell the car audio pairing failed. took 12 attempts once but once it worked it was flawless.

---------- Post added at 10:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 AM ----------

no issues with viewing of photospheres...viewing does in fact use quite a bit of processing power though. I usually have to wait a bit as well as while scrolling for the blocks of images to load.

---------- Post added at 11:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 AM ----------

I haven't had any issues with hotspot...o my one I have is that tasker although enables hotspot using my function it doesn't actually work requiring me to toggle it off and on to use it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] StarShoot97:
Search for a Rom without the Security update, wipe the device and flash the old version afterwards

There are still old Marshmallow Roms for PN on AFH

If you did not wipe you can make a backup in TWRP and extract it from there
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
You went back to MM solely for stepped volume feature?

Here's the CHANGELOG for upcoming build
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kurniawan77:
I had this Bluetooth issue when I was on 7.1.1 DP. It used toe work on 7.0 stock so I downgraded back 7.0 stock image. After that Bluetooth worked again.

So then I took the chance to flash this custom ROM because I wanted to have 7.1.1. By flashing a custom ROM you leave the stock radio intact and voila... Got Bluetooth working again with 7.1.1
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sheppy1:
Aha! Now that makes sense as to why it would continue to work! I ended up downgrading to stock 6.0.1 to get my BT working (Didn't realise it still worked with 7.0). Anyway, reckon the radio will stay intact if I upgrade from 6.0.1 to 7.1.1 Pure Nexus then or will it be upgraded due to the change from MM to Nougat?

Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] LEXX911:
I would love to know where this Rom without the Android Security Patch you are talking about.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] noldar:
The first ring step is too loud for me, so yes, back to MM only for this (tried the first N build).

Thx for the changelog, I'm allready looking at it everyday waiting for it on this great rom :)

On my 6p I restored my MM backup, on my 5x, it's the last pn build, waiting for volume steps to switch my SIM.

I hope it will be added soon :good:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
Yep. He has really immersed himself into the XDA world and developed "The Flash" (after his XDA name) that is really a very good product.

Here's his closed 6P thread that you can still use to refer to for troubleshooting (his kernels will still be updated {see last page for link}, just no bug support) but regardless, it's a top notch kernel for batt saving without losing performance.

Glad to have you back, and at it again in Xda.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] ast32:
You can still voluntarily encrypt your phone. Settings > Security > Encrypt phone.

Unless things have changed since 6.0. I typically go through the trouble of wiping/formating with adb fastboot to decrypt.

I read it. My only problem is the vendor. Let say that I downloaded the pure_nexus_angler-6.0.1-20151209.zip. What vendor.img am I suppose to match it up with? I'm guessing you can't or shouldn't download a vendor that is older than the ROM build date or else it won't load like what happen to me earlier on.

The problem is that which vendor.img am I suppose to choose since the oldest one are like the same date but release at different time with different name. I guessed I'm getting confuse because I might be over thinking that each build number should go with the phone that you got. Example: MDA89D_vendor.img is for the Nexus 6 and MMB29Q_vendor.img is for the Nexus 6P and ect.

MDA89D_vendor.img

180.2MB Feb 07, 2016 | 12:13AM

MDB08K_vendor.img

180.8MB Feb 07, 2016 | 12:26AM

UPDATES:

So now I'm stuck on Marshmallow loading animation:

https://d13yacurqjgara.cloudfront.net/users/141880/screenshots/2487137/androidmarshmallowboot.gif

Here's what I install(clean install):

-MDA89D_vendor.img

-pure_nexus_angler-6.0.1-20151209.zip

-open_gapps-arm64-6.0-micro-20161230.zip

-SR1-SuperSU-v2.79-SR1-20161221223537.zip

So what could be the cause? Gapp? Vendor? Or is it the wrong procedure to downgrade from Nougat to Marshmallow? Hmm. I think it should be the MMB29M_vendor.img since the MDA89D_vendor.img is for the 6.0.0 build according to Nexus Root Toolkit.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] ohlin5:
Does this ROM have the adjustment to the number of volume steps built into it? I remember having the option at some point in the past, but can't remember if it was a built in ROM option, or if it was an Xposed tweak or something I was running at the time.
