And I bet these are the headphones brother AZ uses!.....CANNONBALL!! ????.com
[Nexus 6P Android Development] caiejay:
If headphone jacks die, they should have 2 usb c ports on phones. One for headphones and the other for charging.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] GGKirby:
you can get a good waterproof rating with the headphone jack, they just removed it so people keep bluetooth on all the time and they can track you better #conspiracy
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
I thought the waterproof rating without the jack was the next level better? Like sustained submersion vs momentary submersion...

You know they've already been tracking our signals for years... #NoConspiracy :p
[Nexus 6P Android Development] borxnx:
That would completely miss the point of it. The second USB-C port would add a lot more bulk and cost more than a 3.5mm jack. USB wired headphones are only a fad. The future is wireless
[Nexus 6P Android Development] caiejay:
But with usb c u can add more powerful amps for better music listening.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
Well there is this https://www.androidcentral.com/best-2-1-usb-type-c-adapter-googles-pixel-2

I am sure cheaper knock offs will start showing up.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] J.L.C.:
Hopefully the sampling rate and bandwidth restrictions of wireless headphones are overcome soon. They're putting better DAC's in phones with each generation, but then limiting them by trying to force us to listen to audio over Bluetooth.

Hi guys.

I'd really like to ask for some help. I was on 8.0.1 (Beta version, I didn't receive an update for the final version) and wanted to get back to Pure Nexus. Here's what I did:

- Unlocked the bootloader using this guide

- Installed the latest TWRP using the same guide

- Updated the vendor image (downloaded the one in the last update post from Beans)

- Installed Pure nexus

- Installed Beansgapps

Everything went fine until I wanted to boot, and got stuck in a loop. The google logo shows up, dissapears, the warning message from the bootloader pops up, google logo, ... I also can't access recovery mode.

Since then I've tried:

- Installing the stock google firmware (8.0.1 and 7.1.2)

- Reflashing TWRP

I still can't acces the recovery. However, I have access to bootloader and my bootloader is unlocked.

Advice is more than welcome, thanks in advance!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sixgunmojo:
I don't have a step-by-step solution for you but I do have a vague recollection of having the same problem when I was (briefly) dicking around with stock. I remember having to boot into bootloader mode (phone off, press and hold vol- & power at same time), from there press the volume down key once - should say recovery next to power button - and then press the power button. this should boot you into recovery mode. what I can't remember is the exact steps I took from there, if I had to reflash TWRP and reboot to recovery, or just a reboot to recovery took care of the problem.

PS I don't know if it makes a difference but I did not downgrade back to PN 7.1.2 I flashed a different Oreo rom.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RayMcGrath:
I would start over. Wipe everything.

Fastboot flash twrp recovery.

Or use wugs toolkit for everything.

Put all your files on PC and go from there.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
^^^THIS is what I would do as well.

Once something gets borked, it's almost always a better idea to start fresh.

Nothing worse that things going sideways, and you spend a ton of time chasing the ghost in the machine, only to have to start from scratch anyway!

Silver lining: you'll get more practice with a fresh set up, and peace of mind that not gremlins are left behind to haunt you later :D
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Ritser:
I don't mean to sound like a complete noob, but how do I go on about with starting fresh? I've now tried multiple things: reinstalling stock firmware, reflashing TWRP (it goes back into bootloop when I select recovery in bootloader). I've used the Wug's tool kit to revert to stock but that also didn't work, it's back bootlooping as I type (now going strong for 30 minutes).
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
Only thing I can think of it somewhere you're missing a steps or taking one out of sequence.

Read over steps here from post #2 here and see if you notice a step you missed, or something you flashed out of sequence.

Heisenberg's guides are pretty bulletproof...

If you really feel you've followed all the right procedures and steps, you might just have the bootloop of death. There are several threads in the 6P section that suggest fixes and RMA suggestions.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Ritser:
Agreed, the guide is bulletproof. I followed every step earlier today. When I finished flashing Gapps, it started booting. Only thing is, I unplugged the USB cable and then it started experiencing the loop. Could that potentially be the reason?

As of now, I can't think of anything else to do. I can revert it back to stock using Wug's tool kit and I might be able to return it. Since it's a welknown issue for the 6P, a replacement could solve everything.

Thanks for the help so far! I'll let you know what happens. A shame since I was thrilled to see Beans at it again with Oreo.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RayMcGrath:
so, what is your goal? Run stock? PN 7.XX?

Are you able to return to stock via Wugs? if so, after boot then go back, flash custom recovery and root.

Just get up and running first with stock, then come back, someone in this thread will walk you through installing PN.

Cool?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Ritser:
My goal was to run PN. Sorry, my last post was not really clear. I've installed the stock firmware manually (fastboot) and through Wugs but I always end up with the boot loop. I also don't have access to recovery mode, also not possible when I flash TWRP (fastboot). I don't really see how I can fix this, seemed to have tried everything. It might be a hardware issue.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sixgunmojo:
Now I remember what is jacked. Heisenbergs guide for returning to stock is not current for Oreo 8.1, at least not without a little bit of thinking and 1 or 2 additional steps that aren't listed. If you haven't, I would download the current Oreo zip from google, extract and run the flash-all script that is appropriate for your OS. This is the easiest although it is going to wipe everything on your phone and install stock recovery. If that works and you can boot into stock, then flash twrp and proceed from there. I'm not going to make any promises about downgrading though.

Edit - I also remember people who tested the Oreo beta HAD to do a factory reset from the phone settings before they returned to PN or they had all kinds of problems
[Nexus 6P Android Development] GrandSportX:
Eh, the way you did it is kind of patchy and is destined for issues. Follow these steps (I was on 8.1 SuperXE ROM and it sucked, now back on Pure Nexus 7.1.2_r24):

-Save all you data somewhere off the phone, the next step wipes everything, even TWRP

-Unlock Developer mode and turn on USB debugging

-Reboot into fastboot (or bootloader mode)

-Download the stock ROM from here: https://developers.google.com/android/images, you want N2G48B if you are going to Pure Nexus 7.1.2_r24

-Extract the zip and open a command window in the extracted folder then type flash-all.bat, this will wipe everything and install AOSP. These instructions are on the page linked above as well.

-Boot up phone, go through the setup prompts (not important, skip it all, just blast through), then activate USB debugging again

-Reboot into fastboot (or bootloader mode) then flash TWRP

-From there, reboot into recovery so TWRP can permanently install itself, don't boot into the ROM or you'll have to flash TWRP again

-Copy over the install files you need while in TWRP, just remember where you put them

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

Flash everything in this order, one at a time:

*Flash Pure Nexus zip.

*Flash Beans GApps zip.

*Flash root (optional, recommend Magisk).

*Flash custom kernel (optional, recommend EX Kernel).

*Reboot and profit.

Hope that helps someone! I've been pulling my hair out lately with Oreo ROMs and a battery that would die with 80% charge so I've gotten quite good at ROMing and repairing this phone, haha. Now my battery is fixed and I have a fresh Pure Nexus install and life is good!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] aostrom:
Actually, you can. My wife misplaced the adapter for her new Pixel so I went on Amazon to find a replacement. Three are loads of headphone adapters that also have a female USB-C connector for simultaneous charging.

I haven't used the headphone connector on my 6P in a LONG time. I bought an inexpensive Bluetooth gadget for the car that does both hands free calling and audio streaming, and an really inexpensive Amazon Basics Bluetooth receiver to connect to my stereo. We have a Bluetooth speaker (Bose) for travel. All work great and so much more convenient than wires.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Ritser:
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I'm not able to boot up the device after installing the stock firmware (7.1.2) as described above. Recovery also doesn't work, it goes straight into bootlooping. I'm afraid that the device is busted. I've issued a repair request, will update with what happens next.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] shiva.d18:
Is it possible to flash a custom ROM nought 7.1 on a stock ROM 8.1 Oreo?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
As long as you downgrade the vendor to the proper one, and clean flash.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] SightSeeker:
Haven't tried that but I'm on ABC which is based on PN. Has all the same features from what I see. I will come back once Beans gets updated.

It is virtually impossible to brick a 6P.

Follow this: https://www.androidexplained.com/nexus-6p-fastboot-mode/ then continue from the flash_all.bat step.

A search of this thread has led me to a bunch of inconclusive information... I'm looking at a head unit upgrade for my car, but it only supports android via miracast. Has anyone actually made miracast work with the Nexus 6P and the latest PN? Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RayMcGrath:
Not me. Blame the auto manufacturer.

They should all work on any platform.

A real source of frustration.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DevALT:
Happened to me couldn't reach recovery bootlooping for ever

Had to search a while and found out that my A57 clusters died and I found this thread (https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/guide-fix-nexus-6p-bootloop-death-blod-t3640279/amp/) that explains the problem and how to fix it, but it requires flashing modified ramdisk to turn off A57 clusters (phone slower, but working)

The next week I decided to buy an other Nexus 6P on internet for 60$ cause the screen was broken and I swapped my screen on the N6P I just bought...

Anyway hope it will fix your problem, also if you use a ROM that hasn't a modified boot.img (and that the modified kernel don't work [it wasn't working on mine had to use modified boot.img] DM me I can edit the boot.img of the ROM you want to use to make it 4cores
[Nexus 6P Android Development] aostrom:
Thanks! Yeah, that's what I thought. Unfortunately, I can't influence BMW, and in this case it's an outfit that is upgrading an older car to newer revisions of hardware and software. It seems that BMW had been drinking the Apple Kool-Aid and the only way to get Android apps on the screen is miracast (does support hands free calling and music streaming). There is another outfit that replaces some of the BMW components with their own gear that runs Android, but it's running Android 4.4.4, so I really wonder about app compatibility.

My newish Asus ZenPad Z10 supports miracast, so I can just use that in the car, if I do the upgrades.

Question on Random Shutoff

I wanted to get some advice. I replaced my battery to solve the early shutoff and battery drain issue ~6 months ago. Now I am getting random shutoffs in the 60% range or higher that I suspect are due to the overloading of the high frequency cores.

Anyone have any experience with using the bootloop fix (turning off the high frequency cores) to solve sudden shutoffs? When the phone shuts off suddenly it will only reboot when charging.

Also does anyone know if there is a most recent pure nexus boot image with the bootloop fix applied or should I just build my own?

Thanks. F
[Nexus 6P Android Development] varunrramani:
There is a pure nexus boot.img posted in that thread in the same post as other images. Just scroll down a little bit and you should be able to find it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Exodusche:
Though I suppose could be the big cores I'm leaning towards battery again. Even though you replaced the battery still can have issues. I went through couple replacements until I got a battery that would hold up. Fortunately my lemon batteries presented early on maybe yours just went down the road.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Inzayn:
This maybe a small one, but its one of my most favorite featrures of pn. How do set this on stock oreo? Does something in build prop need to be modified for this? Or is this just a PN thing.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
Last PN update was 7/25/2017 (check the thread title) which is far less than a year.

Threads are usually only closed after the dev has stated there will be no further development, AND no one will be maintaining the work, AND there has been no thread activity for quite some time.

Since there ARE still people trying out the last PN update, and thousands of members are still running PN, and Nate HAS stated development will continue here, closing the thread is not a consideration, or even a valid suggestion.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but opinions should be seasoned with accuracy and knowledge if they are to be taken seriously.

There shouldn't need to be any explanation of why talking down a Rom in it's own thread, or bragging about another Rom in another Rom thread is a bad idea, and shows poor character; whether or not it violates the rules. (which it does)

"Those who believe in big government should be mandated by law to handle snakes on Sunday."

2 birds 1 stone :p

While I am very politically and religiously active, I have the ability to laugh at myself, and not be offended by other's view of either.

Unfortunately, this is not the case with many which is why these topics rarely remain humorous or light-hearted, and why they are usually frowned upon in Xda.

Which is really a shame because so many people need to learn to laugh more, and not take life so seriously.

With that being said... let the peace and harmony begin :D

I'm currently on an 8.1 rom. Is there any way to dual-boot PN and 8.1?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] merbiyatch:
so weird and serious problem. i flashed DU 8.1 rc. rebooted after flashing. at pin boot i enter my 611201 pin once. then twice. then 3 times. until i have maxed out the pin and now at a negative value. now here is the weird part. i have always used that pin combination through out my various devices. i go into recovery of course it asks for my pin. i enter 611201. denied. im frustrated and go through a serious of emotional events in my head. i continue jamming in number until i enter 61120 and it is accepted. factory reset. booted the phone. pin at startup typed 61120 denied. reboot into recovery once again. long story short it got to the point where recover twrp would recognized not 1 but 2 Pins which are 61120 and 61121. remember full pin is 611201. why is this. please help me. i love my 6p and it is light years away from dead. i googled and found this https://www.howtogeek.com/240657/how-to-fix-pin-errors-after-restoring-from-twrp-android-backups/, followed the twrp route but i dont have anything in the data/system when entering filemanager from twrp. i dont even have a system subfolder when i go into data. pls help. i dont wanna die early.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Badger50:
Having flashed I don't know how many roms on my 6p over 2+ years, I've never had the issue your having. Reason being, I always disable my lock screen security before a backup, and, I've never set a security pin for twrp. Having said all that, when you go into twrp to try and remove your lock screen pin in data/system, did you mount data in twrp before you went looking in data/system for the files your wanting to delete???
[Nexus 6P Android Development] AzraelsKiss:
Perhaps it'd be best to do a fastboot format userdata (as long as there isn't any important information that hasn't been backed up on internal storage, although if you did a factory data reset, it'd probably be empty anyways). Formating userdata will remove the existing encryption, pin and all. For good measure, you could do a fresh wipe and flash for a completely clean flash. Good luck!

Have a good one!

Using things like Flashify & TWRP can I flash back to 8.x from PN 7.1.2 ?

The purpose of which being no fastboot.. no connecting with a cable..
[Nexus 6P Android Development] agstn.tanmay:
is volte is working in reliance jio in this rom?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] joemommasfat:
You can, but you need to make sure you back up the vendor images too. That, or reflash the correct vendor after each switch.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] resarfekim:
...haven't found much info. Possible to dual boot the 6p?

ps 40,000th
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jaladhjin:
so I'm on PN 7.1.2 currently..

I'm assuming I'd get my files from here: https://developers.google.com/android/images#angler

I can't just flash all of the latest 8.1.0 in TWRP ?

I noticed some of the fastboot guides talking about extracting the files & flashing individual .img files.. is that also what I'd be doing in TWRP ?

I'd "like" to keep TWRP but if I have to lose it & re-do it or Flashify it after.. I could..
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Badger50:
Sorry man, but you can only flash the factory images with fastboot. This is a relatively simple guide I made for the P2XL. I also use the same procedure on my backup 6p. Disregard the part about removing the -w since you'll need to clean flash 8.1, which WILL wipe your phone. And about the twrp part since the 6p is a little different in that regard. Happy flashing :cool:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Bubba:
The guide supplied by [MENTION=3730810]Badger50[/MENTION] above is great. I just made the jump to 8.1.0 Friday night. Alternatively, you can remove the "-w" if you like. That way you do not wipe the sd card. I wasn't sure if everything else would wipe properly, so I first went to TWRP recovery and wiped Dalvic, System, Data, and Cache. I then rebooted into Bootloader mode and clicked the flash-all batt. I got let the stock 8.1.0 boot completely and then rebooted to Bootloader and flashed TWRP. Rebooted to Recovery and flashed the rom, gapps, and Magisk. I am on 8.1.0 internal memory intact.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Badger50:
Thanks man. I appreciate the kind words. I would still recommend a full wipe and clean flash when upgrading to a new OS with that big of a jump. But then again...that's just me :good:

Yes, I believe the same exact thing happened to my original 6p. It was replaced by Huawei with a new unit. I had the same bootloop problems and couldn't even get into recovery, mine just bootlooped the Google logo. Happily, it also fixed the battery problem where it would turn off at 30% or so.
