On the Dev website it says its out.
[Nexus 5X General] blackroseMD1:
It is out, in the form of factory images. No flashable OTA files this time.

The OTA for phones enrolled in the beta program will happen sometime over the coming week.
[Nexus 5X General] bhs73:
Just dirtyflashed from DP1 with Flashfire. Seems to work just fine.
[Nexus 5X General] bobby janow:
What are you talking about? Are you in the correct forum?
[Nexus 5X General] Midomad:
He flashed DP2 from DP1 with Flashfire!

What wrong with that?
[Nexus 5X General] bhs73:
Im using a Nexus 5x. So yes...
[Nexus 5X General] bobby janow:
Well a couple of things. Perhaps I'm wrong but I thought Flashfire will only flash an OTA.zip without wiping your system. Flashing a full system image file with Flashfire will not update the bootloader correct? So fastboot is still needed for that. To just say I flashed the new system images via FF leaves out much information.

Secondly, you do need root to do that since FF will not work without root. (or at least, once again, I don't believe it will) It also needs an unlocked bootloader so those of us locked this does us no good. So your post and the one above it certainly beg for more information other than I flashed the latest images via FF.
[Nexus 5X General] AerogamingHD:
Wait, So basically.... Google has released a new preview build which is Preview Build 2 and there's no way to download it? I dont understand whats happening right now. If Preview Build 2 in ready what they waiting for?
[Nexus 5X General] thesebastian:
They've released the full factory image. This image is recommended to users that want to wipe all the user data. (You could still dirty flash the factory image without wiping but I don't recommend it).

To update without wiping data, OTA is recommended but still not released.

I've just received the OTA

Sent from my Nexus 5X
[Nexus 5X General] AerogamingHD:
Got it
[Nexus 5X General] bobby janow:
Yep, just got it as well. Since [MENTION=4864772]thesebastian[/MENTION] has posted the screenshot first.. please no more! He won, game over.

edit: ok something weird with the update but not to panic yet. First boot the splash screen came up with "system corrupt" message then rebooted again to install the update. Went for about 10 seconds and rebooted again starting the update once more. This time it completed and rebooted and I'm hoping it went fine. BTW, I'm unlocked and, of course, unrooted.

edit2: Booted fine.
[Nexus 5X General] pkadavid:
Does anyone have a copy of or link to the dev prev 1? I need to get rid of root and TWRP before I can flash the OTA of dev prev 2. Or does someone know of a different way to get rid of that and ensure the OTA install works?

thanks!
[Nexus 5X General] thesebastian:
[MENTION=2659927]bobby janow[/MENTION] I got that message as well.
[Nexus 5X General] MaxDim:
Same here. Was scared for a moment as my bootloader is locked. But in the end the phone booted fine.
[Nexus 5X General] crea1986:
same thing :laugh:
[Nexus 5X General] tauio111:
Well, substratum seems broken for me now. Did Google just kill RRO?

The new camera apk has an option for whitebalance.

Last time I dirty flashed DP1 with flashfire over stock 7.0, all partitions contained in factory image, including bootloaders and protected ones, except data. All went well.

Now I'm not sure if the new bootloader will mess up something. DP2 kernel seems to boot fine on whichever bootloader these guys which already flashed have.

[Nexus 5X General] blackroseMD1:
I thought substatum was still a no go on 7.1.1. That's what it says on the release notes in the Play Store, anyway.

[IMG="Substratum"]https://s17.postimg.org/lu92reixb/Substratum.png[/IMG]
[Nexus 5X General] bobby janow:
Yeah that was a little scary. My post said unlocked and unrooted, when in fact I meant "locked" and unrooted. Was racking my brain as to how to recover to stock boot images if it failed.

---------- Post added at 03:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 PM ----------

I believe Chainfire said not to flash bootloader with Flashfire. If I were unlocked I'd probably flash bootloader and radio in fastboot then FF the rest if you needed to do it that way. Personally, I'd just fastboot the whole shebang without userdata.img.
[Nexus 5X General] Shebee:
Just installed the developer preview 2 but I haven't noticed anything new, is there a change log?
[Nexus 5X General] tauio111:
That issue applies only to overlaying the values in the framework.apk. Which this build sadly did not fix. (Maybe it isnt a bug by Google, but a security feature after all?)

I had issues with getting to install any of the overlays (by that i meant the non framework.apk ones, which work fine on 7.1.1) on the DP2 earlier, but uninstalling and reinstalling Substratum fixed that.
[Nexus 5X General] blackroseMD1:
Ah, ok. Thanks for the info.
[Nexus 5X General] Jhyrachy:
I want to update from the previous version without using the OTA but keeping all of my data:

any way?
[Nexus 5X General] bobby janow:
Yes if you have an unlocked bootloader. Fastboot everything other than userdata.img
[Nexus 5X General] Jhyrachy:
yup, unlocked bootloader and TWRP

I can't use the 150Mb zip i downloaded with twrp, right?

I need the stock recovery? (that right now i can't find :/ )
[Nexus 5X General] crian:
FlashFire is the key!
[Nexus 5X General] iamterence:
Just a quick question to confirm something. My old Nexus died and Google sent me a replacement device and I haven't gotten a chance to do anything to it yet. Still completely stock, even locked bootloader. I CAN still OTA and flash DP2, right?
[Nexus 5X General] Psychofrantics:
You can get ota by signing into beta. However, you would not be able to flash factory images. Only if full ota inage would be released, you can install it using adb sideload
[Nexus 5X General] iamterence:
Yeah I'm in the beta and just got the OTA. I'm asking if everything's good to go even though I have a locked bootloader.
[Nexus 5X General] bobby janow:
What's wrong with just installing the OTA? It works fine.
[Nexus 5X General] salim0786:
What are the changes
[Nexus 5X General] Jhyrachy:
it gaves me errors

Right now i refleshed all excluded userdata.img, and i'm pretty good

EDIT: welp, i ****ed up because my phone was with a modified boot.img to bypass forced encryption, so it wiped all my stuff.

Luckily i hadn't anything meaningfull
[Nexus 5X General] chereko:
I also got the message about my phone being corrupted, scared the crap out of me! (my 5X is completely stock too)

But the install seems to have finished properly, just waiting for it to finish booting now.
[Nexus 5X General] KubaIV:
[MENTION=5347609]chereko[/MENTION] i think Google try to make us a little bit scarry with that message. I had it to;P

when my wife's phone was doing the scary corrupted thing, she has no dot. 2 dots filled at first reboot. all three was filled when it actually did the update.

mine was fine with 3 dots filled.
[Nexus 5X General] swnny:
I'm on DP1 with unlocked bootloader, rooted with systemless supersu and have elementalx kernel. Will it work if I install OTA directly (flashfire doesnt detect it) and then just reflash recovery, supersu and elementalx?

i'm poor but i'm happy bro
[Nexus 5X General] Androloid:
I can't download DP2 firmware zip, fails every time.
[Nexus 5X General] Midomad:
Blame you're connection.
[Nexus 5X General] tauio111:
You get the corrupt error when the vendor.img doesnt fit the current system. In reality nothing is corrupt and you can continue and flash the right vendor and the error will dissapear.
[Nexus 5X General] bobby janow:
If what you're saying is correct, and I have no reason to doubt you, then the update process is a bit flawed and should be fixed. On first reboot after downloading the update ota something is triggering a vendor.img check before the img is flashed. Perhaps if they bypass that first check it would prevent heart palpitations for those that have a locked bl, stock system. I presume the only way to recover from a failed update would be a full wipe of the system in that scenario.

Speaking of which, how would you flash a full image with a locked bootloader? Would flashall.bat work? I don't think I've ever tried that in all my years of android. I've always been unlocked and rooted.
[Nexus 5X General] SlimSnoopOS:
The stock boot.img forces encryption, you have to remember that. If already decrypted, you must install a modified boot.img when updating stock firmware. This will ensure that the phone will not try to re-encrypt on boot.
[Nexus 5X General] Androloid:
I succeeded with free download manager, there were a lot of interruptions, but sha256 matches.

[Nexus 5X General] tauio111:
No idea why he got a problem wtih the vendor.img if his nexus is stock. If the update process was flawed, there would be more reports about this issue.

The full image can be flashed through the stock recovery even when the bootloader is locked (by sideloading it via ADB or internal memory). The stock factory image from Google has a signature on it that allows it to flash with the stock recovery.
[Nexus 5X General] bobby janow:
Thanks, that's good to know. So just copy the image to the sdcard and sideload the full zip file as I do the full OTA zip right? Cool, that's takes some stress off since I always get the image downloaded first before I do anything else.

As for reports about this issue, let me put it this way. I haven't seen anyone that *didn't* have this issue.
[Nexus 5X General] tauio111:
Didn't see any examples of this issue on any of the android news sites comment sections. If it was the case, they would be full of it.
[Nexus 5X General] gbru2505:
I'd recommend downloading the full Factory image and doing a fastboot install minus recovery and data. Worked for me with a fresh flash of supersu, Pixel homescreen & assistant afterwards, although I'm on stock kernel, unlocked bootloader, TWRP & rooted.
[Nexus 5X General] bobby janow:

My battery drain issue was fixed finally.
[Nexus 5X General] nesoor1230:
Hi. Are you sure! Did you root after DP2 update ? Because I feel that battery was good first few hours and after substratum installed battery is going down . Don't know .
[Nexus 5X General] gbru2505:
I've got 4 system apps 'not optimized' in this release and battery drain seems higher:

DMService

Download manager

Google Play Services

RCS stack

Perhaps this is all being part of using the DP - Google tracking of performance?

Almost 40% battery drained between 6am and 11am sending a few messages, 30 minutes of sounds and 40 minutes of video for my son. That's not great, but it might settle down and I've enabled location, Assistant, rooted and added the Pixel launcher.

Edit: Day 2 battery much improved. 70% remaining after 7hrs. Yesterday it was 60% after 5hrs
[Nexus 5X General] nesoor1230:
Thanks for your reply. Obvious battery life is the only defect in Nexus 5x. Although I have tried many stock and custom ROMs but the problem always remains. Last hope I think maybe flashing some other custom kernel. Don't know if it is available for this new update of beta .
[Nexus 5X General] :
I don't understand either. I keep on getting Battery Drain while on Standby. I tried Safe Mode/ Airplane Mode/ Going back to Marshmallow but none of them worked. I get around 10-15% battery drain while on 7-8 hours of standby. It started happening since September (I bought this device in May 2016) when i sent it for repairs for Display Change.

Now, i think it's related to some hardware default (But that can't be as my device is fully functioning) or battery failing. I think i will give a visit to LG service center once again this weekend.

[Nexus 5X General] mhamann:
I feel like every release is one-step forward, two steps back.

My Nexus 5X ran better than it ever has on 7.1 DP1. Once DP2 hit, I feel like performance and battery life have both taken a hit. Crossing my fingers that whatever they messed with in DP2 gets reverted / fixed in the final release.

If not, maybe I'll factory reset and start over, hoping that things will work better at that point.

[Nexus 5X General] RusherDude:
Be carefull, apparently you cannot sideload the 7.1.1 DP2 full OTA (for it being multi staged, apparently stock recovery doesn't know how to do steps on sideload):

Case here: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x/help/n5x-stuck-device-corrupted-screen-t3511780?nocache=1
[Nexus 5X General] SlimSnoopOS:
That is unfortunate that you are experiencing this, but Google has already stated they are not providing a full OTA for developer preview 2. Just factory images

Edit: Where did you get this full OTA link from?
[Nexus 5X General] RusherDude:
I got the link From another N5X which was going RMA. A long history, so got the link from one device and sideloaded it on the other :p.

And about Google, it doesn't matter if they release them or not, if the package is not suitable for Sideload the recovery should deny it. This is a big flaw and its gonna brick a ton of devices if the same happens with official 7.1.1 :(.
[Nexus 5X General] RusherDude:
That's a rollback, the whole point of making it a separate google app was to be able to update it via google store and thus protect older devices that don't get updates. Integrate it back into the system and old evices will have those thousand vulnerabilities from webview never patched.
[Nexus 5X General] Aman301582:
It's integrated in chrome browser not system.

[Nexus 5X General] Aman301582:
Try this on nougat:

1- Search "WebView" on play store(should be disabled on nougat). Enable it from there.

2- Go to developer settings and change "WebView implementation" (or just uninstall chrome?)

I have not tried it myself but it might work.

[Nexus 5X General] cell2011:
Why are there two for Dec? Im on Nov 5 patch and NPF26F?
[Nexus 5X General] SlimSnoopOS:
Maybe it is something they do to "close out" the previous version of Android and provide another same month image that can be installed should the new OTA fail. Idk exactly why but I am sure it would be interesting to know the reason why. Google also did this for September when we received factory images for both MTC20K 6.0.1 and NRD90S 7.0.0.

Edit: Google doesn't actually provide a reason for why they do things lol

[Nexus 5X General] tauio111:
Yes, and works as expected. - My bad, seems to be caused by the Chromloops custom framework-res that i flashed.

The overlay bug related to substratum/ORR/whatever theme engine has not been fixed though, but that is of no issue if you dont use Substratum.
[Nexus 5X General] bhs73:
Thats wierd. I cant find the nightlight toggle. Under display-settings?

[Nexus 5X General] Garner:
I'm assuming that we on the latest preview have to wait for a ota to bring us up to date as the new image is a older build number than what we are now on?
[Nexus 5X General] thesebastian:
Yes. As soon as the OTAs start rolling out. You'll probably get the OTA asap if you're enrolled in the Beta.

[Nexus 5X General] Androloid:
I think we can fastboot flash factory image partitions regardless of build number (analogous to reverting to an older version of android).

With flasfire I'm not sure. If flasfire uses stock recovery for flashing, it will fail. Someone to clarify this?
[Nexus 5X General] bhs73:
I just flashed with Flashfire. But I didnt flashed the stock recovery, twrp still works like a charm.
[Nexus 5X General] Dilbert83:

[Nexus 5X General] bhs73:
Cant really see that much difference at all.
[Nexus 5X General] Dilbert83:
Just tried flashing through fastboot, got to about 40%ish and then it aborted due to the image being older than dp2.

Oh well wait for the ota.
[Nexus 5X General] cell2011:

[Nexus 5X General] RusherDude:
Can someone grab the back to stock nougat OTA from when unenrolling from 7.1.1 DP1 or DP2 :(, or the new OTA to come from DP2 to final 7.1.1?

I'm stuck on this situation:

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x/help/n5x-stuck-device-corrupted-screen-t3511780#post69945696

TL/DR: Flashing 7.1.1 DP2 went wrong and now the device is stuck with a corrupt device right to recovery scenario and a 11 november 2016 date for otas, that means that there is not any ota able to flash over it (because new otas from december are from 26october and 1november... wtf). The bootloader is locked.

So I would need the ota that google sends back to unenroll from 7.1.1 Android Preview DP1 or DP2, because they presumably don't check for build dates and just flash the stock partitions :(.

The device is stuck corrupted until google wants to release an OTA flashable in recovery (not staged) with a >11 nov date :'(.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: The OTA from DP2 to final 7.1.1 may also work if it's not staged! if someone can, please capture it to help me :(
