Are you saying for every security patch update you need to reflash 4 core IMG?

---------- Post added at 12:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 PM ----------

I have the November update too but I will not be installing it. Too scared. I haven't updated my phone at all for 7 weeks and it's been running fine since I applied the boot IMG to the October ota
[Nexus 6P General] btvolta:
I used the 4 core 8. 1 kernel provided in this forum. Also make sure you flash the vendor that is in the Superex op. That is the only oreo rom other than full stock that I was able to boot.
[Nexus 6P General] fuadhdmini:
Hi. So I have a try applying L Speed tweak. So far for a couple of hours I can say noticable better performance wise.

Originally scrolling fb you'd notice some lagging but it's slightly better now if not much.

I even tried to reboot the phone just in case if applying the tweak will somehow causing bootloop but it's rebooted fine.

It just that it takes more than 10 seconds (the timer I set in L Speed tweak to apply the tweak after boot) to apply the tweak.

Give it a try too guys!

---------- Post added at 05:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:14 PM ----------

Oh ya. Camera processing HDR+ slightly faster now (if not much).

Anyhow, try it yourself!

If anyone wondering. I only tried applying the default performance profile tweak
[Nexus 6P General] brainlessnobrainer:
And by "4 core 8.1 kernel" you mean EX kernel 5.03 i presume ? Im just asking in case there was some other kernel in this this thread that i wasnt aware of (plus im under impression that EX 5.03 in op is meant for 8.0.0 but maybe it doesnt matter, i dunno). Thanks.

4Core boot fix provided by [MENTION=4752144]squabbi[/MENTION] works perfectly. I used Magisk-v14 to root it, which also worked. But don't flash OREO PIXEL 2 MOD as it's for DP2, (I flashed and got stuck in bootloop).
[Nexus 6P General] W@r10ck:
I always had problems flashing magisk. I wanted to try it out. Did you flash back to stock boot.img for first time installation? What we're your steps.

This one from post #1825. Guess it's not lableled 8.1, but superex will boot up. I couldn't get ex kernel to work on anything but full stock oreo.
[Nexus 6P General] JER. JER:
Hi there everyone . So around 2 months ago I got the bootlop send it to a local store to get it repaired and it worked for a min and it's gone back to normal . Sigh

Now I tried heating up my n6p and they had andriod 8.0 oppo r5version . But the weird part is it keeps hanging and restarting to the same old google logo again repeating and repeating .

Should I go on with this guide ?

Advise anyone ?
[Nexus 6P General] yhwh111:
Still, try it and wouldn't boot, just stays on the G logo and reboot to recovery...but I was able to flash 8.1 DP2 with flashfire and is running good so far.
[Nexus 6P General] tootang:
I just installed the modified boot img to my bootlooped Nexus 6P and now it is just stuck at the boot animation. Anyone run into the same issue or have a fix for this?
[Nexus 6P General] squabbi:
Did you make sure that the boot image you downloaded matches your current build?
[Nexus 6P General] JER. JER:
Okay so my original boot image was something else but the shop I send to flash

opr5.170623.007 . Should I flash back the same image ?
[Nexus 6P General] squabbi:
You can flash any factory inage build you want, just make sure that you have the right patched boot image. :)
[Nexus 6P General] JER. JER:
Squabbi,

My current build number Is opr5.170623.007

So I can flash any build image under the download section ?

My n6p manage to boot up then for a few minutes it when back to g logo non stop

I should proceed to the last resort ?

But I manage to unlock oem and USB debugging mode on

Thanks !
[Nexus 6P General] LittleOnionThatCould:
Yes this happened to me. I was resolved by flashing the stock firmware, then flashing the modified boot image again before you let it boot
[Nexus 6P General] squabbi:
Don't forget to quote my post or mention me using the '@' symbol, because I would have missed it! :)

You can stay on that build of Android, and use the Oreo 4core patch and see if that works. Otherwise, I can make a 4core patch for your current build of: opr5.170623.007.

What last resort are you talking about? Using a patched boot image?
[Nexus 6P General] fuadhdmini:
If i'm coming from Oreo 8.0 Nov patch. Can I download Oreo 8.1 dp2 and flash it using flash fire?
[Nexus 6P General] W@r10ck:
I tried but flashfire but it force closes. So i just manually flashed it. Go ahead try flashfire it may work on you.

TWRP 3.2.0-0 Released

Any chance on getting a 4-core TWRP update to 3.2?

To be clear I'm not trying to rush / nag the developer, I understand that they probably have many more important things to work on as well as their own lives. I just thought I'd mention that a new version of TWRP has been released, no idea how hard it would be to update the 4-core TWRP.

[MENTION=4752144]squabbi[/MENTION]

[Nexus 6P General] Insane Soul:
Am about to flash [SuperXE 6P]○[OREO]○[8.1.0/8.0.0]-[OPP6.012/8.0.0_r34], before doing so wanna be sure which Boot.img is needed for 8.1? I did tried to go through the comments but didnt got anything about if we need a different Boot.img to flash, any help is much appreciated :) TIA.
[Nexus 6P General] Insane Soul:
Sorry to bother you mate, could you please direct me to to 4 core 8.1 kernel please? I did looked again and again and I just couldnt find it, I am on SuperXE Rom as well. Thanks :)
[Nexus 6P General] squabbi:
Good call! Here, try this: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745849072291692306

Let me know if it works, I only managed to have a small look at how the other one was patched.
[Nexus 6P General] Insane Soul:
I did that and it bootlooped again.
[Nexus 6P General] sergionator:
Everything also requires a password (which is not).
[Nexus 6P General] Insane Soul:
Sorry if it was answered already, I did used hair dryer on mine after mine bootlooped, took like a minute or so and it sure did helped my to boot up to be able to turn OEM Unlock on and flash them files.
[Nexus 6P General] squabbi:
Sure thing, the repack said it was unsigned which I don't think will matter too much, but let me know if you have any issues :good: :

[Nexus 6P General] sergionator:
Yes. I have the ability to run the original TWRP 3.2, and it runs without requiring a password.

[Nexus 6P General] W@r10ck:
Good that it worked for you [emoji846]
[Nexus 6P General] Eddie_Brock:
Thanks [MENTION=4752144]squabbi[/MENTION] for looking into this TWRP concern.

I've been saying in this thread for months that the patched version in the OP is bugged. If your device is encrypted, there's no way to boot into that version of TWRP. It doesn't matter if you 'Format Data' or factory reset, it still won't decrypt. I'm pretty sure I read that it's a bug on a particular version of TWRP.

3.2 patched would be greatly appreciated by this fellow. As I'm currently not passing SafetyNet OR able to root, without TWRP.

So, thanks in advance!
[Nexus 6P General] squabbi:
Perhaps it is a bug with TWRP 3.2.0-0. Is the patched version in OP not working for you?
[Nexus 6P General] Eddie_Brock:
No, you misunderstood. The 3.1.1 version in the OP is the bugged version, and will not get past the 'password' screen.

I'm simply happy you're working to implement a patch on the new 3.2 version.

I haven't tried your version above yet, as I am tied up for most of the weekend.
[Nexus 6P General] squabbi:
Ah ok, I have close to no experience with this but I'll try my best and hopefully be able to test it on my own 6P. I'll see what I can gather and do this weekend too.
[Nexus 6P General] CoDeZiRO:
nothing seems to be working on my 6P? Any advice guys ????
[Nexus 6P General] clarenceb5:
This fix was working for me on my Nexus 6P up until a few hours ago. Suddenly now I'm stuck in bootloop. It won't even boot into the modified twrp3_1_1_4Cores.img
[Nexus 6P General] Lee Castro:
Nothing works for me either, does this mean our phone is totally dead? No any methods? Only replacement or repair? :(
[Nexus 6P General] Eddie_Brock:
Keep trying different versions. I went through 4 or so before I found one that booted. For me, it was "Oreo4cores-oldfstab.img" posted somewhere in this thread. That was on the Sept, Oct and Nov images.
[Nexus 6P General] Lee Castro:
Thanks for the reply, I already found the image file. I will try this now. :)

EDIT: Still no luck, but thanks anyway. :(

Performance improvement for 4 core boot img - Nexus 6p

Reducing display resolution:

adb shell

dumpsys display | grep mBaseDisplayInfo

output> mBaseDisplayInfo... density 560...

wm density 600 && adb reboot

* it will very slightly reduce the display resolution but the performance improvement is noticeable.

in developer settings, set 0.5x animation (for all 3) it will keep the device usable (no animations looks pretty dull).

** As there are no kernels for Android 8.1 DP2, 4core boot img, I tried this to fix the performance issue.
[Nexus 6P General] JER. JER:
Squabbi ,

It work like how I cut my japanese knives with butter !

Thanks for the image

If I didn't flash the kernel it would be fine too ?
[Nexus 6P General] T1Cybernetic:
For reference, Heating the phone up until its very hot works much better that the freezer trick in my opinion...

Anyway. A few days ago my nexus 6p went into boot loop :( All day I tried to get it to boot and then after warming it up with the hair dryer ;) It booted fine and hasn't boot looped since.

Should I flash the the 4core fix now or leave the phone alone while it's working? I get the feeling it's only a matter of time before it boot loops again :( But I wanted to ask first just to get someone else's opinion!
[Nexus 6P General] JER. JER:
Your considered lucky . Mine was too late to savage :(

Well you can monitor and for safety try to unlock your bootloader because once your stuck like stuck in the bootlop it's very hard to unlock bootloader , just incase you know
[Nexus 6P General] squabbi:
No worries, so if you had a custom kernel before, you don't need to use it again, unless you want to. :)
[Nexus 6P General] dustfinger314:
I just wanted to share what happened with my 6p in case it helps anyone out there with my specific configuration/issue. I was running the 8.0 October security patch (OPR5.170623.007) when my device bootlooped and wouldn't get past the static Google logo. I had the bootloader unlocked, TWRP 3.1.1 installed, the device rooted with Magisk, and the storage encrypted.

I had heard about this issue, so I found this thread, and flashed the modified boot image for the October update. This got to the first stage of boot animation, but never made it to the decryption password screen. I then tried the modified TWRP, in hopes of saving my data, however it wouldn't decrypt the data partition.

I then tried flashing the October update without formatting data (#9 from here), and then a couple of other stock Oreo versions to see if that helped, but it still wouldn't get to the decryption password screen for me.

At this point, I was starting to freak out a bit, but figured I'd try something different, so I flashed back to the last Nougat build (n2g48c), and then flashed the modified boot image for that. This finally got me to the decryption screen, I entered my password, and got me to the second stage of boot animation. However, I ended up bootlooping here as well, because android app data doesn't like going backwards a major version.

Eventually, I figured out through dumb luck that at some point in this bootloop, the system was alive enough for ADB to work. I tried to adb pull my photos and stuff off, but something in the bootloop kept interrupting the download. After some more research I discovered the am hang command that let me hang the system and pull my files off without interruption.

Then I tried to get the phone to boot just to see if it was usable. Some logcat searching led me to delete the app data for the phone and telephony provider packages. Still didn't work, with more more logcat digging I figured out that the account database was the problem, so I blundered around the filesystem until I found the files for that and deleted those as well, just manually with root access via magisk. This finally allowed the phone to boot. However, I never could get it to get mobile data, so I ended up factory resetting, flashing n2g48c clean, and then updating to the November Oreo update (OPR5.170623.011).
[Nexus 6P General] T1Cybernetic:
Well it didn't last long :( My phone today has started boot looping again and won't stop. I've run through the procedure a few times and even tried the freezer and hair dryer but I can't get it to boot up at all :( 4cores and 1core doesn't work for me now :( so I think the phone is finally dead.

It does have a pretty startup screen though :D I think I've watched it boot loop over a thousand times !!!

I really don't know what else to try, I do know that Google and Huawei should be ashamed of their support regarding this blatant obvious flaw in the 5x and 6p. Anyone with a boot looping phone should get their devices fixed or exchanged regardless of warranty.
[Nexus 6P General] Docomoco:
Any suggestion for dealing with a completely dead Nexus 6p?

It doesn't boot loop, it just sits there completely dead. No charging light, no response when plugging it into the computer, dead, hard bricked.

It started after I installed Viber, a messaging app. I shot off by itself. I tried to reboot it but wouldn't budge. I left it on the charger for about 30 minutes, even though the battery was 80% charged before shutting down, tried to boot again and it did come back. It booted half way, started rebuilding the Dalvick cache for some reason and then boom, went off and never came back.

Any idea would be appreciated as both google and Huawei gave me the finger, the phone is just about two years old, warranty is gone.
[Nexus 6P General] dirtyid:
What is the performance of running 4core fix? I have a bootlooped 6p from last year that I wouldn't mind repurposing as a podcast player / camera / nightstand google home. Just wondering if it's up to basic tasks.
[Nexus 6P General] zhangla:
I have been saying this all along... the software fix won't last. The root cause is hardware related. Even the 4core or 1core fix works for a while, eventually the phone will be a dead brick. I have mine bootlooping twice, and twice I fixed it with software image but the last time it truly became a dead brick. I have to buy a new phone. No more google or huawei phone - trust me they have hardware problems.

---------- Post added at 04:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 PM ----------

Mine became dead brick after only 13 moths, after 2 bootloops that I fixed with the boot image here plus heat gun. Now it is just dead. I bought another phone, an iphone.
[Nexus 6P General] JER. JER:
I didn't have any issues with the 4 cores image , before flashing it I use a hair dryer to hear it up and unlock OEM , then using cmd to unlock bootloader ,flash twrp modified version and the 4 core modify version and boom no more bootloped ,everything is working fine .maybe u didnt followed the step to step tutorial?
[Nexus 6P General] zhangla:
Your still works because its time is not here yet, but soon. Trust me. I have seen N6P became complete brick 3 days, 3 weeks and 6 months after the heat gun and 4core/1core fix. If yours still works after 1 year, I think you can declare the software fix really works for good.
[Nexus 6P General] JER. JER:

8.1 Factory Image is out. Has anyone tried with the existing boot images? https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/angler-opm1.171019.011-factory-39448337.zip
[Nexus 6P General] madsere:
I have a 6P that I've used with the previous TWRP hack for a few months but today I thought I'd try to get it back to stock, with the latest 8.1 factory images. Needless to say, nothing has changed, still the same reboot. On top of that, about two weeks ago suddenly the power button kinda broke. It is like the spring that keeps it out has broken or something, so it has to be pressed really hard now to react. I went to my phone shop who tried to sell me a new Huawei 10. Never, it is not going to happen. Walked away with a Samsung. Never again Huawei.
[Nexus 6P General] metallicant:
Applied the 4 core patch over 8.1 and no go. Phone will boot pass the google logo but reboots after 5 minutes on the animation screen. Waiting patiently for the 8.1/ 4 core patch..

[Nexus 6P General] metallicant:
Unless I missed a step but did you clean flash or dirty flash over 8.0?

I downloaded the official images from the developers site and then I individually installed boot, vendor, system images, and then the 4 core patch .img and it didnt work.

As I said before the phone will power up and pass the google logo and then go through the 6p startup animation for about 4-5 minutes then it reboots into recovery.

I went back to 8.0 w/December security patch and everythong booted up fine.. Am I missing something here?
[Nexus 6P General] ricbaez:

[Nexus 6P General] Nevill24:
This may have already been posted, but those of you that had the bootloop occur after your warranty expired there may still be hope! Like everyone else that bought directly from Huawei there was zero support once the warranty expired. Fortunately I bought the phone using my Visa signature credit card. Visa extends OEM warranties of products by one year. I figured I'd give it a shot and just this week I got a full refund for the original purchase.

Sure this fix works, but it's temporary and doesn't address the manufacturer defects. Look into the warranty details of your credit card if one was used.

Does anyone here had have same symptoms as I do?

I have bootloop but weird...Google logo appears then goes to next screen where colorful GOOGLE art works spins but very very very slowly...eventually it bootloops.

Onlytime I was able to get into Android is when above drains enough battery that it goes into battery saver mode then android boots until battery dies again.

My OEM is locked and I have not been able to get back into the phone to enable unlocking so I am waiting for battery to drain again and hopefully I can get in.

Thanks.

[Nexus 6P General] ricbaez:
[MENTION=980014]metallicant[/MENTION] I would just download the factory image, instead of running flash all.bat, manually flash bootloader and radio from fastboot then reboot fastboot, then proceed with opp6 4 cores boot, system, and vendor (recovery is up to you, twrp or stock) this way you don't lose your files

Edit: sorry I didn't see your recent post.
