1. Download the latest factory image here

2. Extract vendor.img which is is in angler-mmb29p-factory-25ed9560.tar/angler-mmb29p/image-angler-mmb29p.zip

3. Reboot to Bootloader

4. Flash vendor.img through adb (fastboot flash vendor vendor.img)

Hi all,

I have extracted and uploaded the newest radio, bootloader and vendor.img from the factory images and uploaded them to my AFH. I don't know if the radio or bootloader have changed (o guess not) but uploaded them still. Now you don't need to download the full factory images :)

[Nexus 6P Android Development] G-Bus:
Do we still need to flash UN-SU before flashing new systemless root?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Only if you have system root currently. If you are on systemless root, just flash the update over.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Atticustrd:
Nice, thanks guys for the quick response and clear steps to install. Updated with no issue. Another question, looks like elemental just released a new update but they recommend flashing system, boot and vendor image, since cat is based on stock would I still need to flash the above before flashing updated kernel?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
No, just flash the kernel. Those instructions are applicable if you are on a purely stock installation.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] inffy:
No, those instructions were for the stock users. As Cata is already using the newest Google images (the newest zips) so you don't have to flash boot etc

Instructions are in the post made by atl4ntis. Pretty clearly stated that you flash the full zip and after that flash your vendor.img
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mystertom101:

It's a good thing to learn if you have a nexus.

There are lots of guides on xda and at the end of Google search.

I would recommend [MENTION=6555069]Heisenburg[/MENTION] s thread in the general nexus 6p section.

#whiteuimustdie
[Nexus 6P Android Development] inffy:
Of course it works if you do it right. Of course you have to have the vendor img file and you have to be in bootloader to do it.

None of this has been helpful so I'll just stay on the 21st of Dec build with franco r5 I'm really busy with university and just wanted to quickly update bit this is complicated and I do not have time

I downloaded the full zip from Google and had the correct img when I tried to flash it said could not open on terminal or something like that

[Nexus 6P Android Development] mystertom101:
I've done it on every android phone I've had and its never been this complicated no I don't have time to learn im a final year university student
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Fastboot flash vendor vendor.img from the latest build then flash the large MMB29P stable file, then Franco Kernel, then your current version of SuperSU.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Soulfly3:
1 - nexus is the EASIEST phone to root, unlock, custom rom etc

2- would wager that an enormous portion of this forum knows what final year university is... as most of us have completed it

3 - dont do this kind of stuff to your phone if you dont want to learn and apparently dont have the time

Well my nexus 5 was easier as I never touched a terminal once for it, and every Sony and Samsung phone I have had has all been easier to root than a nexus 6p in my experience this is just a ridiculous process to upload a rom when you haven't had to do any of this before
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
1. Is the vendor.img in the first level of your fastboot folder?

2. Might want to check out this post.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Soulfly3:
again, since you are so unwilling to learn and put in a few minutes to get the phone the way you want it; I suggest you wait for the Nexus Magic Edition, where ROMs will install themselves when you ask it politely

#whiteuimustdie
[Nexus 6P Android Development] puritan007:
It's the same for Mac except you need to give yourself su in Mac since it's permissions are tighter

Get android sdk for Mac. Install it update it

Get googles newest image for angler

Extract it in the Android sdk folder

Mac/c/androidsdk/platformtools

Extract again(zip inside zip) move Vendor.img to the platform tools folder.

Open terminal in platform tools folder and grant su

Fastboot flash vendor vendor.Img

This is After you have phone in bootloader (hold power and volume down)

And phone plugged into Mac with proper sync cord and Mac driver for phones bootloader installed correctly.

You tried to be in a directory named fastboot, this looks wrong. Everything should be in android sdk/platform tools.

Hi...can you just help us by making a Vendor which is flashable by TWRP.. I think many of us need it. Please
[Nexus 6P Android Development] venelar:
You're misunderstanding. It isn't possible. Learn to flash via fastboot or use one of the nexus toolkits.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mikexda:
Not exactly correct. Beans does it for PureNexus (which would work fine for Cataclysm), but he hasn't incorporated the January release yet.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] owngaurav:
It's possible check the earlier post 1180, where u can find the earlier vendor files,which are flashable.. It's just a request..
[Nexus 6P Android Development] venelar:
Cool deal then, I stand corrected. Still though, it took all of 5 minutes to get everything updated with fastboot.

Been reading the past few pages but haven't quite understood this one, I'm currently on MMB29M cataclysm, systemless rooted with 2.62-3. I'm flashing vendor, latest stable, and do I need to flash SU 2.62-3 again before finishing and booting?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] inffy:
Yes you need to flash supersu

---------- Post added at 16:19 ---------- Previous post was at 16:17 ----------

It takes under a minute to flash with fastboot. It's not rocket science. I already linked to my uploaded files on AFH where you can download the vendor img
[Nexus 6P Android Development] yung40oz84:
What about all the other stuff to flash from the latest factory image? I know boot loader and radio is the same, but what about system image? Is that like incorporated into the full CATA zip? SO I do absolutely no wipes, flash vendor via fastboot, then full CATA, then custom kernel, then superSU 2.66, then boot?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Soulfly3:
It is not [MENTION=3913401]atl4ntis[/MENTION] job to create TWRP flashable vendor files.

Even requesting that of him is pretty disrepectful. He puts in TONS of his own FREE time to create this amazing ROM, the least some of you can do, is learn how to use fastboot.

Quickly starting to realize why Devs are leaving XDA
[Nexus 6P Android Development] yung40oz84:
Ya good call! People need to start taking their part and stepping up, doing a little research, and take a little extra time if you want to run something as awesome as this :D:good:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] inffy:
Cataclysm is based on those same factory images so no need to flash other than the vendor
[Nexus 6P Android Development] yung40oz84:
Ya after I wrote that, I realized that was kind of a stupid question, LOL!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] napes22:
Wasn't able to find an answer to this question. If I perform a TWRP backup, then update the vendor.img and ROM, how do I restore the backup if need be? Last time I tried this the vendor.img update prevented me from booting after I restored my backup.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nadiros:
Well, you would need the vendor.img that you were using when you made the backup.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] whodatfan:
So I'm getting the android system error on boot (not to be confused with the unlocked bootloader warning). I'm assuming it's because I need to flash the vendor image.

I just got my 128gb graphite in yesterday (subtle brag). So what I did was boot it up, disable lockscreen security, take the OTA to 6.0.1. Then I unlocked bootloader, flashed twrp, made all necessary backups, then flashed SuperSU 2.6.6. I setup phone, then came here and flashed both of the latest files for the ROM and MOD as per the OP.

I guess all I need to do is flash the vendor via adb and the warning will go away. After I flash vendor img do I need to reflash anything I've already done? Like SuperSU? Was wondering if the vendor img would lose root.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Yes, just flash it via fastboot. You won't lose anything.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] napes22:
So as long as I flash the vendor.img I was using when I made the backup in the first place I should be okay?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] yung40oz84:
Every single layers theme I apply I am getting nfc service constant FC on boot and cannot do anything but boot back into recovery and delete overlay folder, tried about 5 layers themes already......

UPDATE: Def something wrong with the actual ROM itself, I tried thew old vendor and new vendor, and then went to another two ROMs with new vendor and layers works correctly, any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] venelar:
Try deleting them all in twrp like you have, then clear the data on the layers manager app. Then try reapplying. Can get a little wonky after update
[Nexus 6P Android Development] yung40oz84:
I tried all that, tried reflashing vendor, old vendor, back to new vendor, clearing app data, deleting layers, applying again, same result every single time. then I go to another ROM with new and old vendor, either or, and layers applies correctly, same ones I tried to use here. :(
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Hey guys, I should not need to post about this much more and I apologize for being intrusive but I updated my install post here, making it a little more generic and cleaned up the steps to flow a little bit better. Let me know if there are any problems.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Toutatis_:
I've been using Layers on Cataclysm for a long time now and I never had this NFC issue (and no issue at all actually). I don't think Cataclysm is the culprit.

I'm using InversionUI and navigate and I'm on January 5th stable release.

Based on the steps you went though in order to fix the FC (none of them worked apparently), if I were you I would perform a clean install from scratch. Otherwise, I would have the suggested the same things than [MENTION=411058]venelar[/MENTION]..

Good luck anyway!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Soulfly3:
solid tutorial, but one question/suggestion/inquiry

fastboot flash bootloader name_of_bootloader.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash radio name_of_radio.img

fastboot flash vendor vendor.img

was always under the impression you must reboot-bootloader after installing bootloader AND radio... your instructions only have it after bootloader.

which is it?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
I am sure that rebooting the bootloader after the radio does not hurt but I have never done it and I have never run into any issues.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Kappa Lamda:
Updated from last mod. No wipes. Everything great.

Uninstalled layers

Flashed vendor

No problems with layers here either.

I just can't get the navigate layers to apply. Any specific things I should do?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] puritan007:
Did you root? Did you busybox? Kamera needs both. Flash vendor in fastboot, flash rom, flash supersu, boot check supersu install Busy Box, clear data layers manager, reboot install layer
[Nexus 6P Android Development] yung40oz84:
I did not use busybox at all, I used superSU 2.66, which was working yesterday on previous cata, already flashed new vendor, cleared data in app, rebooted many times, did all of this many times, same result

Hey everyone!

Anyone still getting random reboots on the latest update?

I was getting some with the MOD over stock with Elemental kernel, no layers or xposed, and I disabled messenger.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Flash the Busybox installer from the OP of this thread. It works with systemless root so that Layers Manager can use it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] yung40oz84:
I have used that before, but have no use for busybox at the moment, but why do I need busybox? There is no problem installing them or uninstalling the layers and busybox is not required for layers to work......

I need to update to Android 5.1, and I've heard that 5.0 kernals don't work on 5.1. However Franco has been AWOL for a while and hasn't posted an updated kernal for 5.1. So I need an alternative to Franco Kernal with a similar feature set and an nice companion app(official or otherwise).

Features I use the most:

-CPU control

-Volume boost

-Color control with Flux

Any suggestions?

PS: If somebody has built a Franco Kernal from source for 5.1, that'd be fine as well.

I did a CM nightly Update, which relocked my phone. I tried to unlock it but something went wrong. I can flash partitions but somehow can't boot into anything besides fastboot. When I try to boot into any recovery (even Stock) the phone just restarts after showing the Oppo logo for a moment. (Just as if I was trying to boot a custom rom from a locked device)

fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.2-find7.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.355s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.013s]
finished. total time: 0.368s

Phone Just reboots into a boot loop.

Flashing anything works fine but I'm getting boot loops again.

A strange thing that happens is that if i try

fastboot oem lock

the process just get's stuck showing three dots. (Same on Windows and Linux) That probably means that the bootloader is in some buggy way half way locked. (That sadly doesn't explains why the stock recovery won't work)

No idea how to fix it. Thank you in advance!

Follow these steps and see if u are lucky enough! :P

step1: go to fastboot mod in your oppo f1

step2: flash stock recovery using adb. Type in "fastboot flash recovery stock.img"

step3: do not reboot your device and type in "fastboot flashing lock_critical".

step4: type in "fastboot reboot"

After these 4 steps I was able to boot back in Project spectrum. I haven't checked until that if I m able to go to recovery mode but I will update once I check. Check if you can boot.

Hi, I recently got my OPX and came across some Wifi Issues.

Using it at home with a 2,4GHz b/g/n access point on channel 1 everything works flawlessly.

At university however, the connection is very unstable. The Wifi there is 2,4GHz also with b/g/n and a/n on channels 1, 6, 11.

On my Ipad, I get speeds of 60Mbit/s upwards, while my OPX varies between 3 and 20 Mbit/s - sometimes even no connection at all, despite being connected to the network.

It's also weird that upload speed is barely affected at all and stays relatively high.

Wifi speed: imgur .com/7S3jji6

Anybody got any idea if this is a hardware or software issue? Is the OPX simply not compatible with the WiFi standard my university uses?

Now the problem begins in about one hour of lite almost none use i was on 15% and then it started to degrese slow to about 5% and the phone shuts down. I did power it up again and it was on 5% again so just in case to be sure i turned the phone off and took out the battery and put it back on and when i powerd on my device battery was on 17% and now all is ok when i charge.
