How to find the necessary vendor image

Alright, since the May update is out, we know there is going to be an onslaught of "do I need to flash the vendor image?" or "which vendor do I need to flash?" posts so I am going to try and put these to rest here and now. Since there is no build number section, figuring this out is a little trickier; however, it is equally easy:

1. Before you flash:

Bookmark this page. This shows the build fingerprint at the bottom and when it was updated at the top. At the time of this post, it was updated to MHC19Q 26 days ago. So if it were updated two days before the weekly, you know you will need a new image when you go to flash it.

2. After you flash:

You will get the vendor out of date message on start up but in order to know which one to flash, navigate to /vendor/build.prop, which will have the same information on that page above. Find the build fingerprint line and flash that vendor image.

Since I mention the vendor image needed quite a few times, this should be found quite easily by search so there is no excuse for these questions again. Happy flashing!

It has happened to me a couple of times but the thing is I have no themes installed and I've not restored anything (I always clean flash)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Weetbix:
Thanks for this.... is it safe to assume that you'll be throwing it in your FAQ?

My bookmarks are hidiously messy, adding anything is going to get lost until I perform a much needed cleanup :crying:
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
So no themes and you don't restore data in the setup assistant (you setup as new device)? If so, I'd try to grab a logcat when it happens and report it to Jira. Mention if it happens with any apps in particular.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mickyw1980:
Yes definitely no themes and I never restore data, always set up as new device. If I remember correctly, I'm pretty sure each time it has happened to me it has been while downloading/updating the Facebook app.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] aalupatti:
I disagree too....

Also GB works well for me with no issues at all. [emoji4]

Well I don't restore data from google but have about 8-10 themes, 4-5 icon packs. Can that be a reason?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Possibly. I have also heard it is when big apps update.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Dipayan4u:
Okay. Last night playstore updated half of my apps. Maybe that's why it had a soft boot.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] b_rajesh13:
Hi. I am on DU 1.0.1 r_24. I kept getting "Update Vendor Image" every time I rebooted the device although I was on the April Vendor Image. I tried updating to the May Vendor Image by flashing it via TWRP 3.0.0-1. After rebooting the device I still kept getting "update vendor image" popup. I went into settings and about device and the Android Security Patch level still shows "2 April 2016' after flashing the May Vendor Image.

How do I rectify this?

Thank you.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Toutatis_:
Which vendor did you exactly flash when you say "April Vendor image"? vendor required differs depending on whether you're on official, weekly or test DU build.

That's normal, since none of the current DU builds are based on May image. Flashing MTC19T vendor as you did resulted in a mismatched vendor, once again.

I'm not sure, but I think that it's also normal. The vendor isn't bringing anything related to the system, the whole ROM does. Since DU builds are still based on April image, Android security level patch date still says April.

Sorry to bump here. I know it's not rom related and shouldn't be asked here. But you don't like pm as your signature states. Just have query. Should I uninstall some of my themes and icon packs? Will that stop soft reboots?

You can delete the post from here if you want and lead me where I can post issues like this.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Yeah you can try removing the themes you don't use much and see if that makes much of a difference.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Dipayan4u:
Ok thanks. Will uninstall some of the free themes and icon packs and check.

By chance did you use rom backup tool to restore settings?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] wvcadle:
I use it. As long as one backs up and restores with the new version, it works fine. There may be one or two settings that don't get restored, but all-in-all it's back to working fine.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tcat007:
It screws me up on almost any rom update, especially the last one. I quit using it.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] manup456:
That is the issue you are having with the vendor flash 19Q again and the dirty flash the the latest weekly and the message will go away.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] wvcadle:
It did me too when Android was updated. But then the dev updated the app. I wasn't able to restore settings with the new app version, when I backed them up with the old app version. But once I rebuilt my ROM settings on DU, and backed them up with the new RSBU version, they were able to be restored without a problem.

Thank you in advance
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Dipayan4u:
Please keep test related issues to G+ community for any support.

Anyways, the test build aren't fully functional like the officials or weeklies and may not be used as daily rom. It can have issues/errors. If you want DU with full functionality, better to stick with the latest weekly. If you want to test the test builds, post in G+ community for help.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Evanescent:
excuse me, i think that this was the right place :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Dipayan4u:
Please read the OP FAQ #2. It will give you proper answer. Scrap my post if you don't like. May be you will love DU dev's answer. ☺
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Toutatis_:
[MENTION=7304529]Dipayan4u[/MENTION] is right, discussing test builds here on XDA is forbidden.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Evanescent:
really sorry, it's completely my fault. I've ask without read because I'm at work i've think only to have an anwser.. sorry again! :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] wvcadle:
One thing he's not correct on, test builds are used by many as daily drivers and are every bit as complete as weeklies. The difference is they have open commits, whereas weeklies and official builds have only merged commits. I haven't flashed yesterday's test build yet, but I've flashed every test build to date and used it as my daily driver. Make sure when you're flashing weeklies > test or test > weeklies that you clean flash every time though.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Prattham:
The may update patch will be in the next weekly right?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Maybe, maybe not. Search before asking questions.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] wis3m0nkey:
I had soft reboots few days back (old post is quite a few pages back), however phone would behave something like this: unlock using finger print makes phone unresponsive, phone stays unresponsive for a while and then go to lock screen again, after unlocking this time it would ask for pattern and then unlock.

I'm guessing that was a theme issue, I've switched to grvy and for a week phone is running without any hiccups.

If anyone wants to try the theme in question is "playful flat", that theme is not DU certified (I don't know if that warrants system ui reboots).

Just wanted to share my experience in case anyone else having similar issues.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Dipayan4u:
Thanks for correcting.

The test build is most likely 19t
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
It is MHC19T. Test build chatter belongs on Google+, not XDA (which is where you would have found this answer).
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] force70:
If your getting the vendor message clearly you flashed the wrong one.

flash another vendor...there will only be 3 to choose from on the recent builds.

Why people who get the vendor message even ask about it is beyond me...flash a few vendors until the message goes away...its not that difficult a problem really.

I don't think its there. Although you can flash the latest and check.

I didn't find it in stock either. I don't remember actually. Custom apps do have that widget.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
You have to clean flash.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TheGTS:
I flashed the newest vendor then flashed the rom following with gapps.

Sorry i did a clean flash.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] wvcadle:
I dirty flashed. Haven't run into any problems yet. But it's been said many times, if you dirty flash and run into any problems, don't report them here. And it doesn't matter which you flash first, although I usually flash the vendor first.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] bkrickles:
Thanks. I completely understand that I'm on my own if there are problems. Just wanted to make sure it could be done as I won't have the time to clean flash before Saturday. Thanks again
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] wvcadle:
Although I rarely have problems dirty flashing, they are possible. And if something goes wrong, you're going to be forced to clean flash 'before Saturday'. :p
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] bkrickles:
Ha! I was thinking that as I was typing my response. I'd make time if necessary. Dirty flashing is just so convenient. Thanks. You gave me a chuckle. By the way, this is the best rom I've tried
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tcat007:
Finally, the vendor matches the official! Clean flashed, used 4/29 TBO clear gapps, Elite kernel, all went well and smooth! Rom Settings BU worked too. ARISE/v4a also booming.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] shadowstep:
Even I dirty flashed over 10.1. No issues whatsoever. I did flash the new vendor via fastboot and then flashed the ROM via TWRP. :)

Again, like always, do not report bugs if you dirty flashed. Clean flash if you run into issues!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] spotmark:
Just did a clean install, ROM, Banks Dynamic Gapps, Beta SuperSU, Kylo kernel, and Xposed. Fastboot flashed the vendor image, and all went well. Set up themes, and the keyboard seems to be working fine in both portrait and landscape. :good:
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] manup456:
Great job as always guys just two small things I seem to have issues with.

I noticed this before and never mentioned it because I was not sure if this is supposed to work this way or something is wrong.

If you hold the power button and the power menu pops up if you hold it again another power menu pops up over the first one. If you do this 3 or how ever many times you will have them all on top of each other. Touching the desktop will close one and so on, if this is an issue I will report the correct way.

Edit: Location kicked in and is working now, weird but all is well on that end.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Dipayan4u:
Lol how did you find that out?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] manup456:
I have been using the ROM since the test builds and I test everything. It's been this way for a while I just never said anything since it's really no biggie for me.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tcat007:
Before I report this, want to make sure it's really an issue. Check settings/storage/other, then hit OK to explore. I get a settings crash. Clean install.

Have to say nice find. And yes, it's not really a biggie [emoji106]

Didn't happen till the last weekly and I didn't flash the latest official. Did you find this to be in the latest official? Sometimes themes do tend to break things. Can you check by changing to default theme?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Not for me.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tcat007:
I'm on latest official. Tried the 2 themes I use and default, happens on all 3. I am on Elite kernel if that matters. Is the latest update a lot larger than previous? I normally run 16-18gb in storage, but I'm at 24gb now. Might be an extra BU, but would still be 21gb.

PS: I deleted several rom apps I don't use, one being Documents. Does explore use that? I'll check again after I flash tomorrow's weekly before I delete anything.
