Hey yall,

Quick question.

Im coming from rooted and decrypted stock NRD90M w/ latest version of ElementalX kernel.

If I wanted to flash this ROM, are these the correct steps?

1. Download the .ZIP for this ROM and the .ZIP for the bootloader and Radio

2. Place .ZIPs onto root

3. Boot into TWRP

3. Format Data/Cache

4. Flash ROM .zip

5. Flash Bootloader/radio .zip

6. Reboot system

7. Done?

I am mostly confused about steps 4 and 5. Can I flash them both in TWRP at the same time? Or do I need to flash ROM, reboot system, reboot TWRP then flash Radio/bootloader. Also why do I need to flash radio/bootloader? Doesn't the ROM have it included? Also how important is flashing vendor.img?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] myawan:
Flashing vendor image separately is critical as you'll have camera issues otherwise. To be on safe side, you can flash radio/bootloader and reboot into recovery to flash ROM and vendor image. I would suggest wiping System as well.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] ErikFry:
In the ROM features for NRD90S in OP's post it says that vendor image is now included in the .Zip

Does that mean I don't need to flash it separately anymore?

I am wary with formatting system especially if I don't need to. I left my USB type A - Type C cable at work, so I want to flash this ROM the easiest way possible. I am coming from a pretty fresh stock android flash from 1 week ago. Does flashing radio/bootloader affect the bootloader I already unlocked? I guess I don't see the purpose of flashing radio/bootloader here, if someone could elaborate.

-Links now on mega.

-Vendor not anymore on zip.

[Nexus 5X Android Development] TrustAugustus:
Silly question (but are not those the best?) all I did was flash the zip yesterday and everything works correctly, including the camera. I get the warning on boot up telling me it cant check for corruption but the vendor.img doesn't alter that, right? Should I flash it anyway?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Dread This Day:
If not experiencing camera issues, or an error at boot that says something about there being a problem with your device, then don't worry about flashing the vendor.img.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] TrustAugustus:
Thanks!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] pfriedman:
Android Pay?

Has anybody been able to get Android Pay working with this ROM?

Thanks.

[Nexus 5X Android Development] Dread This Day:
I haven't bothered trying yet as I live in a state that's in the stone ages and as far as I know, no stores near me offer it. I know Walmart Pay works. Lol. But, I don't see why it wouldn't work.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jareee:
flashed latest Tupac release + elementalX and everything works smooth and fast exept led notification...

what should i do for it ?

thx.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] donverse:
Turn it on, under Settings -> Notifications , tap the little gear icon in the upper right corner and set the toggle for led notification to on
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jareee:
already set but it doesn't work... :(
[Nexus 5X Android Development] kevtrysmoddin:
Have you tried led manager?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jareee:
Of course , i tried Light FLow , Light manager but ( add rights ) but led doesnt blink....
[Nexus 5X Android Development] kevtrysmoddin:
It may be a hardware issue then
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Psychofrantics:
Just restart. In some cases, restarting phone has helped some of the folks

[Nexus 5X Android Development] rpr69:
Hey tupac4u, I'm here! :) Moved on from the N5, glad I found you over here as well!

Has anyone un-rooted the ROM successfully? I need to setup my company portal access, so i need to temporarily un-root, I used the built in removal from the SuperSU app, but I didn't 'restore boot.img'. When I check compliance in the portal I still get a message that it is rooted and I can't continue. Should I have restored the boot.img? I still have encrypted data, and it warned that it might not boot if I restored, so I left it. Anyone have any ideas? I was going to try just installing the boot.img from the zip and see if that does it.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] isa.ahmed:
once you do restart this is needed for 1 time only...it is with other phone like huwai alsom

[Nexus 5X Android Development] Edgarngg:
Can someone point me to install steps for this latest release? I'm encrypted and on RR 6.0.1. I see vendor is not included in ROM anymore.

Thanks
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Jonathan_m84:
Read the OP, dont be lazy. And read the other 7.0 nougat threads.. this is not a faq thread
[Nexus 5X Android Development] ttakacs:
I flashed this ROM three days ago. Other than the ElementalX kernel, your setup was the same as mine. On the first flash, I took these same steps. After booting into the ROM, I went through the setup wizard, including Project Fi (re)Activation, which completed but I had no service. Then I rebooted into TWRP and flashed the vendor image, after which I had Project Fi service. (Prior to flashing the vendor image separately, I did not test the camera.)

BTW, I have no problems with bootloader/radio.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] zurik:
To install the ROM need to unlock the bootloader and then flash via fastboot the custom recovery? I didn't understand with the first post " If you are encrypted"

guys is there any possible way to install xposed on this rom ?if there is please give me the LINK :D
[Nexus 5X Android Development] cspctec:
I've read the first post explaining what to flash, but I didn't see mention of flashing the bootloader/radio, yet they are provided as downloads. I want to make sure I have the exact steps need to install this ROM (I'm NOT encrypted). Can someone confirm the what to install and in what order?

I'm thinking the order is:

1) Wipe everything in TWRP

2) Flash bootloader/radio

3) Flash vendor.img

4) Flash ROM

Is that the correct steps? I don't want to end up with an unusable phone because this is my only phone.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] ttakacs:
Look at my post #543
[Nexus 5X Android Development] cspctec:
Ok, thanks, I didn't see that post. I don't have to unzip the bootloader/radio? Just flash as is?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] ttakacs:
Just flash as is.

Looks like the OP has been updated: the vendor.img has been extracted from the ROM. After wiping data and cache in TWRP, flash the bootloader/radio.zip, ROM.zip, and vendor.img.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] churchey360:
Is there any type of layers we can use for themeing?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] ErikFry:
I did the same as you, but I flashed ROM zip, rebooted system, saw that I had no cell service, rebooted back into TWRP and flashed radio/bootloader, rebooted system, saw that camera did not work, rebooted back into TWRP and flashed the vendor.img. I did it this way mostly to check what was needed and what wasn't. OP's original post (he changed it after my post inquiring about the feature) had a feature that said "vendor.img included in ROM.zip" So I thought I did not have to flash it, but OP cleared it up and I already discovered by myself that it is no longer included.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] ZawZaw:

Why?

[Nexus 5X Android Development] Ferdimage:
After installing the ROM following all the steps in the OP, I can no longer reboot to recovery, it's stuck on the Teamwin splashscreen.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Each time I start the OS, it shows the dialog that is supposed to be shown when the vendor is out of date, yet I've already flashed the one we have here.

Looking at the settings screen, I see it's still on NRD90M .

How come?

I've tried to re-flash the rom (and radio), and then flash the vendor again, and still got the dialog.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] donverse:
NRD90S is the latest vendor.img have you flashed that one? The ROM came out with NRD90M, but was shortly after updated, however I downloaded the 90S vendor.img as it wasn't available in this post for some time. You can either search this thread (saw somebody upload it) or just download the vendor.img from Google directly and flash it.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Ferdimage:
Is it possible to customise the nav bar and battery icons on the current rom?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] kevtrysmoddin:
The navbar yes through substratum the battery not yet
[Nexus 5X Android Development] AndroidDeveloperLB:
I just downloaded from the very first post of this thread...

And all files there have the 90S in them...

Anyway, I extracted the vendor file now from Google's website (here) and used it. I used FlashFire app to do it.

And... yet still it shows the dialog, and shows NRD90M in the about screen.

Then, I went to TWRP myself, flashed it as vendor, and still the same...

How could it be?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] donverse:
That's not really possible tbh. I cannot imagine how that could ever happen. Are you sure you have flashed the newest ROM from Tupacu from the OP? If you still have the old version with 90M I guess the flash of the vendor image will not update in your "about phone". Please try (clean?) flashing the newest version from him ....

[Nexus 5X Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Update your TWRP to 3.0.2-1 or -2 OR decrypt and continue using your older version of TWRP. Do not backup EFS on -1 or it will corrupt. On -2, it has a bug that fails to create backups larger than about 1 GB.

Both -1 and -2 are compatible with 7.0 encryption, and have no problems installing roms or doing factory reset/system wipe.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] AndroidDeveloperLB:
I have these files:

"Stock+_NRD90S-N5x-by-tupac4u.zip.zip" - 683.4M - 716,627,181B

"Radio&Bootloader_NRD90S_N5x.zip" - 30.5M - 32,013,043B

"vendor.img" - 189.6M - 198,859,544B

Just do it, I did it on Sunday and done. Coming from latest PN, eager to see what 7.0 is all about - clean install is always best, after doing proper backup & reading the instructions, going thru the last few pages just in case ... of any uh oh.

Takes extra time and nobody likes devoting more to setting everything up again - rather be just playing along - but it's worth it to get the device refreshed (and, freed up a little extra unclaimed SD card space) - end result, smooth and relatively clean, aside some of the Apps via Amazon AppStore / Underground (not yet updated to 7.0 specs)

[Nexus 5X Android Development] philippsp:
Hi, I'm on NRD90M. Do I need to flash the bootloader zip or the vendor.img as well when I want to flash NRD90S? Or do I just need to flash the NRD90S zip?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] iamterence:
Pokemon Go does indeed work with this ROM since its not pre-rooted.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] cambunch:
This ROM is pre-rooted according to the OP.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] iamterence:
Mmm. My mistake. It is pre-rooted, but you need to flash root to gain actual root access. I just dirty flashed this ROM without flashing SuperSU on top of having this ROM already flashed, with SuperSU. POGO works with the root-blocking update.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] AndroidDeveloperLB:
I did wipe, and it still occurs!

Should I do the wipe that deletes all the storage too?

Is it possible something ruined it?

I also flash "Nexus_5x6.0.1_Surround.zip" and "ElementalX-N5x-3.05.zip" .

NPD56N works perfectly!

After wiping, and flashing 3.0.2 TRWP, it wouldn't allow me to install anything. So, after flashing it about 4 times, THEN it saw the ROM.ZIP, and first boot didn't take that long, SU is there, and I'm happy!

Many thanks for the upload, was keen to try N with root, did notice one thing though (easily corrected) was the fastboot commands for the radio and bootloader filenames are slightly incorrect so anyone flashing please check these if simply copying and pasting the fastboot commands from OP.

sorry if this is a noob reply, just though i would highlight this.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Letitride:
Yes, I wiped SD card storage clean as well, and restored my docs, *.mp4 and *.jpg files afterward. Make sure USB debug is enabled, etc. so that you can transfer these files above for a clean flash after formatting the SD card/directory.

Flashed SU v2.77 also after the latest vendor.IMG file before rebooting (it's now updated to SU v2.78)

Not running EL-X kernel, just using what's provided. Not sure what the Surround.zip is for but being 6.0.1 - I would leave that out for now - just to see & run it as close to stock as possible, given all the tweaks. Mine booted up just fine for initial Set-Up, been 3 days and I'm very pleased with it - battery life seemed to be all over the place with use ... I expect it to settle down (never too far away from a charging source or external usb battery pack).

Congrats !!! Thanks for letting others know & learn. I know, it's a PITA to do a deep clean & wipe, fresh install & restore, setup & all the configurations, etc. Even using TB to restore can get trickly in the older days. I figured that, going from MM 6.0.1 to 7.0 Nougat, it's worth the extra efforts, especially with the new bootloader & radio, vendor image, etc. all being "new" - just didn't want to soft brick & go back to factory image/start all over, while it's still under warranty, LOL.

Did you also flashed the *Surround.zip then or planning to ?

Between yesterday & todays, lots of Apps getting updated via PlayStore, developers catching up with 7.0 on their Apps. But - still can't get some of my paid Amazon Underground Apps to show up, let alone install & run properly ... including one of the ipcam app .... Grrrrrr !

Vendors aren't custom ROM specific, they are build specific (NRD90M, NRD90S, MTC20F, etc.), so you should be good to go
