What version of TWRP should I be using at this point? And I can restore any backup of nougat (I'm on Nougat) as long as I'm not restoring the EFS partition?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hutzdani:
3.0.2-0 or 3.0.2-2, im staying at -0 for awhile now after -1 build issues i'll wait untill the -2 build has proven its self
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DevUt:
It has, the bug is not that fatal. This bug is generating a lot of drama. It was just struct refer bug. Which has been solved.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hutzdani:
Yep it has but when you have a device and you hear that two versions have caused issues you get sceptical, same thing goes with windows updates and chromeOS updates and Android updates

7 out of 10 times more **** gets broken or worse, so i'd rather stay on the last known stable build thats been out since april than jump on the newest thing, if it aint broke don't fix it.

lucky I never run encrypted and i'm not really impressed with Android N it just feels like a jazzed up MM so i won't bother until its matured a bit

So, final word. Is it OK to do both EFS and Nandroid backup now with 3.0.2-2 on the 6p? I tried to revert to -1 after I flashed the nrd90u factory image and it hung on the splash screen.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zandander:
Don't believe 3.0.2-2 will even create a backup. It stops after the first tar file, or around the 1GB mark.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hinesight 20/20:
So for now TWRP is not a backup option for the 6p on N? Any version?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bobbaloo:
I went back to 3.0.2-0. the newer version created a corrupt file that actually deleted the contents of a flash drive when I tried copying it over. It must have been a small file. First stock installation after clearing the boot loop. No user apps. I'm hoping there will be a new version before we start using Nougat Roms.

I'm on a MMellow rom. Not touching Nougat just yet. Enjoying some stability after boot loop and endless searching for answers. Running latest version of Mokee. With ElementalX kernel.

3.0.2-0 does work on nougat. You just have to decrypt the device.

So what version of TWRP are they recommending us to use on Nougat??

I currently got 3.0.2.2 installed but some peeps say I need to go back to 3.0.2.0 ??

And no I'm not wanting or looking to go back to MM I'm staying with Nougat if that matters..

3.0.2-0 is preferable.

---------- Post added at 06:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 PM ----------

And whats the reason for not using 3.0.2.2 ?

Is it bc it can't restore 3.0.2.0 nandroids only reason I'm finding doing a search unless I'm misunderstanding something..

Thx

Nevermind someone jus told me that as long as compression is disabled in 3.0.2.2 then it's safe to use so I'm jus gonna stay with 3.0.2.2 then..
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizardwiz:
is there a way to copy the TWRP backup files to my PC? from some reason I can't do that on 3.0.2.2

..and yes my device is Encrypted.. bummer..

EDIT:

NM that.

made a TWRP backup of userdata booted to recovery , copy the backup to my PC. Then decrypted my FS by formatting "data" partition and restored the userdata from my backup. then rebooted to Android.

All's well and I am no longer encrypted.

Not sure if this helps any Nexus 5x or 6p owners but

I'm not totally sure what caused it but I had a brick event happen to my 5x unexpectedly after waking up in the morning and trying to turn it on it went to a black screen after boot animation, I waited 5 mins no sign of it truly booting so I held the power button till the power off dialog can on and powered it off from tapping it. immediately I try to turn it on and it would go into the boot animation it was stop at the beginning and reboot after (the dots in the stock boot animation stop turning and the animation pauses). I tried to factory reset in TWRP (3..0.2.1) and still nothing, confused, I tried it again, and nothing, tried to completely go back to stock thru uses of google factory images, tried a few MM's and Nougat images, and still nothing, tried to use the Wug's Toolkit also to flash when first method didn't work and nothing. getting irritated I tried a OTA and still nothing, till I read symptoms of some 5x's and 6p's and seeing one solution posted about trying to downgrade TWRP and Repair Partitions, I tried that and profit. my phone unbricked. was the most annoying 2 hours of my week but I hope this can help some of yall out there, even though we might not have the same device :cool:

I'm in a huge jam. I did not see this thread while in the process of flashing a new ROM, then reflashing back to a backed up ROM. I freaked out when I got bootlooped (including when I select to boot in Recovery mode), so I flashed the Factory image. OK. Now I'm still bootlooped and can't execute these ADB commands to format my EFS partition, can I do this somehow with fastboot?

tl;dr -- I can't get into recovery, I can't boot into ROM. Can I format EFS some other way other than ADB?

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
What happens when you fastboot flash TWRP then boot into it?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultyrunner:
Why don't you start fresh and save yourself some hassle. Assuming you can boot into bootloader, flash the full factory image, then flash the newest TWRP (3.0.2-3) without booting your system, boot straight into TWRP and you should be able to accept ADB commands.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastrgamr:
I tried flashing 3.0.2-0 through 3.0.2-3 and booting straight into it, nothing. I even used the fastboot command "fastboot boot <the-twrp-img>" and still bootlooping.

I'll try this and get back to you. I'm assuming I'll run into the same issue :(

btw, I have tried a full factory image flash for the Latest Marshmallow ROM and the Latest Nougat ROM and still bootlooping...

EDIT -- Seems like I have a way bigger issue at hand, been on #twrp IRC and seems like theres something else wrong. I'm 95% certain this failed restore caused my issue. I came from WETA 7.0.1 to Benzo, then had to restore my WETA backup to get some files...but that never happened :( Phone is on Warranty RMA now :'(
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mauijpm:
My 6P was running stock N. I got all my updates through OTAs and the other day it just started bootlooping. I had never backed up or restored EFS or anything like that. I contacted google because my phone was within the 1 year warranty. I think there is something wrong with N.

Not sure if this is the right place to post, but I'm having an issue with TWRP that I'm hoping someone can help with.

I had TWRP 3.0.2.2 running fine with root. I decided to do a restore from a backup. After doing so my phone boots to the pin screen, but there isn't a keypad to enter the pin. The only workaround that I found is to flash the boot.img file that comes with nougat, but then I lose twrp. Has anyone seen this before or know of a workaround?

Did you try flashing the factory images from google's site?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mauijpm:
I absolutely did. I even tried going back to M. Literally nothing would work. Once they figured out I couldn't get into recovery (stock because I wasn't on TWRP) they shipped me a replacement. I plan on staying on M until 7.1 comes out. I always thought if you could get a Nexus to boot, it was recoverable. I guess not. :( :confused:

I actually ran into this same issue when I had my OnePlus X. I had no idea about efs just thought it's was common practice to include it every time I did a backup/restore.. Eventually the partion eneded up getting corrupt and had no cell service. I went to my telegram group for Onyx and asked if anyone had any ideas on what could of caused and possible fixes. My man Antonio came through told me how it probably had a bad flash one time and the fix was to just adb delete modem 1 and modem 2. Sure enough I was back up and running . Wish I could remember the exact command but that's it problem solved. From that day forward I would only backup efs never restored unless absolutely necessary.

I have the same problem with my nexus 6p. I tried to backup the efs partition and flash a custom rom but some went wrong and then tried to restore the efs but ended up in bootloop. My bootloader was unlocked so i applied blod 4 core method and revived the device but got the performence hit. Now my question is if i use this method create new efs then will it work... is there any chance to get the 8 cores working again instead of 4 cores
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
1) Wiping your EFS using the adb commands will work. The processor automatically corrects them on boot after being zeroed out.

2) Unfortunately, no. This is not tied to the 4 core boot issue. You can flash the stock factory image and see if the phone will boot. The stock boot.img has all 8 cores enabled. If your 6P does not boot, you have your answer and you will need to use 4 core boot images only or Osmosis injector zip to boot on 4 cores.

Boot into TWRP (Poweroff, then power on using Vol Down + Power Button)

​

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst2

Reboot

Hello developers,

I'm currently trying to create an OEM package for CHT support,

I've extracted the files into a folder called "CHT", inside that, I've created three documents,

f50e9a40-aed9-497a-bdea-84451210e960.dsm (blank file, nothing inside)

f50e9a40-aed9-497a-bdea-84451210e960.rgu (registry entries, everything is working fine i have tried)

option.xml

I understand that the option.xml is there to provide the checkable state for OSBuild.exe. I now have the entry written as:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16" standalone="yes"?>
<Items>
<Item name="CHT" group="CHT" checked="false">
<Tip>Traditional Chinese Input and Display</Tip>
<Guid type="p">f50e9a40-aed9-497a-bdea-84451210e960</Guid>
</Item>
</Items>

and saved it in that same folder.

when I run OSBuild.exe, it kept crashing. i am sure that it's the xml entry that is causing it to crash, but I have no idea why. Does anyone have any idea?

p.s. I am sure that the packages other than option.xml works because i've tried to combine it into \SYS\BaseApp folder and compile it, it runs flawlessly on my hermes

please advice :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ai6908:
Option.xml is optional, just build it without that file...

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kazuni:
I managed to have it fixed now, thanks to Cab Creator. Now i face another problem - my package has a wince.nls, and when i have it used as an OEM package, it compiles fine, but OSBuild tells me "error, wince.nls already exist". then i remember that the OS itself does have a wince.nls. I need to replace that file when i compile this OEM package, so is there any way to set the oem package to overwrite it by default, or do i have to manually remove it from SYS\WinCENLS_WWE ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] berwick:
i did that before...just replce WWE NLS file with CHT one
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kazuni:
yeah i know, but then it will not be a standalone OEM package that i can distribute for others.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] crazyC:
AFAIK there is no simple workaround to achieve what you want. There are a number of files that I have had to cook in the old fashioned way rather than via selectable packages.

If you find a solution I would be most interested.
