Hi, i just got a nexus 5x and It is running the latest version of purenexus and has twrp recovery installed. I was wondering if elementalX is compatible with it. I saw a few differant scources that gave mixed answers. I was also wondering what happens when android 6.0.2 or whatever the next android version will be comes out. I saw that at the download page http://elementalx.org/devices/nexus-5x/ there was a differant version for 6.0 and 6.0.1 if i update my rom first and my kernal is at a differant version, or vice versa, will that mess up my phone? Thanks in advance
As long as ROM and kernel are same Android version (6.0.1) , you're good.
Thanks, but what happens during that time just after an update comes out and my rom just updated, and my kernal hasent

It won't update on it's own. You'll have to flash an updated ROM and therefore an updated kernel to match the ROM.
OK, thank you, just one more thing, can flashing a bad kernal hard brick a phone
If you have a problem with a "kernel" you can simply flash the stock kernel via fastboot. Takes less than a minute if you have the factory images already downloaded. And no flashing a bad kernel will not hard brick your device.
Thank you!
I have the elementalx kernel and pure nexus rom too and it's running fine now, except that App Standby doesn't seem to work (all active in developer options, inactive apps). Anyone else having this issue?

Is it necessary to use fastboot to flash the stock kernel back on? What happens if we flash it via TWRP?

If you have a flashable zip of your stock kernel that will work fine. I personally like to have the factory images already extracted to my platform tools before modifying my device. If you have the files it is a simple fastboot flash boot boot.img. But to answer your question a flashable stock kernel will work just fine.
FYI to the thread starter, any ROM will have it's own kernel. So, if you update to a 6.0.2 ROM, it will have a kernel already. If you choose to flash a different kernel, it will need to be a matching Android version.

I was installing Custom Rom to Stocked LT15i with (Bootloader Status Allowed = YES) phone And i faced a strange problem that I never faced before. Below is detail of my problem
1. I Installed Stock 4.0.4 Stock ICS Firmware Via Flashtool before it was on same 4.0.4 but its was updated via PCC.
2. I Try to unlock its bootloader from official site i got the key and try to unlock but Fastboot command said its already unlocked bootloader. So I head to next step.
3. I rooted it with Prerooted kernel image. name ARC Autoroot v1 its worked fine.
4. I installed ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.0.2.7-nAa-r2 via batch command provided but a user in this section. worked fine.
5. Now Problem is Any Custom rom i want to install from CWM its give me (satus 7) eroor. I preceded steps 1 to 5 again n again but same error.
6. I tried all the solution for Error status 7 provided by user but no luck. like build.prop and removing some script.
one thing i noticed its IMEI start with 01 m not sure it is the cause. Let me know what is the easiest way to install custom rom to it. Its belong to my friend.
(I am able to flash any kernel )
I search all the night but didn't find solution so i ask.

Not sure what you've been searching for - status 7 error xperia arc
You need to flash compatible kernel for the custom ROM you are trying to flash.For example, when you download CM10 ROM, kernel boot.img is included in that rom zip. First we install compatilbe kernel(boot.img in case of CM10) and install rom zip from CWM.
Download and install CM 10 just to make sure you are doing it right.But first flash kernel first.

This is the first time I m facing such problem I have tried many phone and succeeded but don't know what is problem i have changed SD Card thought its make problem but no. Tried LT18i Rom same issue, MIUI+ Kernel, Cynogen + Kernel, Pac + recommend Kernel, Other + Kernel. I can't say its Internal Memory Problem coz i can flash stock smoothly.
And when i flash Cynogenmod Kernel its CWM not let me use SD Card say can't found SD card.

Sounds like you're using the wrong command then. The right one is fastboot flash boot nameofkernel.img

Website is offline . Website work now. but its same procedure I followed already not worked for me I already post n my first post.
I wanna try the worked method done by any user. I m sure if once m able to install JB it will be ok everytime. New Kernel not work for me that is my problem.
Thanks for command I will try to install using your command. And what about CWM not allow me to use SD card what is that problem. That recovery come with CM kernel.
I tried to flash the bootloader and JSS15R, de-odexed, but it can't get past the bootloop... Any thoughts? No tablet UI mod thing.
Tried to flash this, but it's still won't boot...
Any suggestions?
Honestly I'd use fastboot and wipe the entire device and then flash the factory images. That way everything is updated, you'll then need to fastboot flash a custom recovery.

Just Google "how to restore N7 factory image" and you'll have all the information you need. You'll need either the wifi-only or LTE factory images from Google, so d/l that first.

Do you know when the OTA for JLS36R started rolling out? If it was recently, like last 7-10 days, Google probably hasn't released the factory images yet, but should soon (assuming everything is OK with 36R).

You will get the prompt for it, but if anything in /system is modified (like if you're rooted, flashed custom kernel) it won't work...custom recovery won't work either. You can flash the stock recovery in the zip that holds the 36C files using fastboot (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img).
On my wifi I had a custom kernel, and when to use the "adb sideload" command to flash the official zip, and it failed due to the boot.img being modified (not stock), plus I had deleted some files from /system/app which it didn't like.
This is my first post here so please ignore any novice mistakes.
I have been running AICP 7.1.2 from a long time and in fact after i flashed a custom rom, i lost volte altogether, which has been an issue for most of the people. So now i have to use Jio4GVoice app for calling.
I tried 2-3 Oreo based roms but even after whitelisting the app and providing complete data access to the app, unfortunately it doesn't run in background. It definitely shows up status as Online but i don't receive any calls unless i open up the app in foreground. I tried every possible fix for this but somehow Oreo has a hard background killing scheme. All Nougat roms worked fine though. Can somebody help please?
Same problem here in oneplus one
Flash Stock ZUI through TWRP first and boot till you see HD or enable it in settings if you don't see it enabled. After this, flash any custom ROM you like, Volte should be enabled by default at this stage. I had this problem and this method solved it. Try it.

Could you please help me on how to backup the entire custom rom before flashing stock rom ?
I want to backup all data so that I can restore everything
Can you help me on this?
Or can I get volte working on custom rom itself without having to go back to stock rom?

You can make a full backup of your system through TWRP.
Then flash stock rom.
Boot into it and wait till you get HD.
Reboot and restore.
This should do the trick.
But BEWARE, you should take the backup and restore with the SAME recovery.
The deodexed stock rom will flash an older recovery and hence replace the new one.
You have to FLASH THE NEW (SAME) RECOVERY that you used for backup BEFORE RESTORING your data.
If you fail to keep an eye on this step, you are most likely going to HARD BRICK your device.

But right now my device is rooted do I have to unroot it and relock the bootloader in order to flash the stock ROM ?

Nope. Just go ahead and follow the steps carefully.
By the way, the deodexed rom is pre-rooted.
You just need it to see the HD symbol to appear on boot that's all.

So after doing all steps and restoring the custom rom through the twrp recovery will I have all data back including xposed modules and media, contacts, apps, app data etc?
I mean will everything on my device present right now will be there after this process or something will be missing?
Also one more important thing I forgot to tell you is that after flashing custom ROM I flashed custom kernel also so is it okay if I flash stock ROM along with the custom kernel?
And twrp recovery version can be a different one (i mean can it be on latest version?) while restoring custom ROM or should be the same version on which I back up custom ROM?
Sorry for asking too many questions
Don't know why u r facing this problem, but I've tried almost every Oreo really roms here and all of them have stable volte! My jio works flawlessly on all of them. Just make sure u r on baseband version 1.7. Naming a few stable volte Oreo roms:
Bootleggers
DotOs
Havos Os(my currenr favourite)
Pixel experience (old rom without updates)
AospExtended
RR
CAF
etc etc...volte works everywhere!

Thanks for your reply but the problem is I had to enable volte in stock ROM before flashing custom ROM but I didn't enable volte on stock rom.
So if I update my baseband on custom rom without flashing stock rom again will jio volte work ?

No. I tried it. It won't work. I had VoLTE working in stock rom and after rooting and unlocking the bootloader, i didn't have VoLTE enabled in any of the custom roms. I updated my baseband. I've had 1.6, 1.7 and 2.0. But none of them is a workaround for VoLTE. So as already suggested, install stock rom and then check for HD symbol on the same. (I'm yet to try this. I'll soon do it myself and may be post the result here).
And for that custom kernel question on stock rom, well you have to install stock for just few minutes or hours just to get HD symbol so that you can proceed with installing custom roms with VoLTE enabled. So, better clean install stock rom and wait for HD symbol. Then as stated before, use the same custom recovery version, you will be able to restore data back.
Guys i finally had this problem sorted out. Steps which worked for me:
1. Flash stock rom via mi flash tool - Zui 2.5
2. Wait for HD symbol and then do a test call
3. Clean install custom rom which supports VoLTE
4. Before first start, install baseband version 1.7
VoLTE worked for me like this only
I'm using AospExtended Oreo based

I had a similar problem and this may be helpful. I tried to do the "FRP Bypass Method Using Odin" and afterwards the phone would not boot or flash any other roms (Odin checksum errors). After investigating I found one of the last version of 7.0 changes the bootloader to v3. Once this happens you cannot go back to any v2 firmware. It also makes some versions of modified Odin not work (including the one included in tpierce89's FRP Bypass). After much frustration I tried a different Odin and was able to flash V3 roms. I used "Odin3 v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD.exe" . Here is the link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/patched-odin-3-13-1-t3762572

I am not where I can check right now but the fifth to the last digit of the baseband version will have a "3" rather than a "2". An Oreo (android 8) ROM example is G891AUCU3CRE7. I think there was 1 or 2 Android 7 roms that used boot loader 3. Once you get one flashed that will work you can update to other versions. Tonight I will try to post the one that worked for me.

When I said above you can update to other versions, I mean only newer versions with bootloader v3. My understanding is that you cannot go back to v2.

The Android 7 ROM that has bootloader v3 is G891AUCS3BRD1. The key was that I had to use the "Odin3 v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD.exe." to do the flash or it would fail.

Hi, I need help with my phone.
A week ago, unlock the bootloader to install a custom ROM, more specifically Lineage OS. Everything worked correctly until one day I had a sudden reboot, did not take much importance at the beginning because I knew it was in beta, but since that day the phone does not charge the battery when I connect it or recognize it the pc, except when I restart the telephone with the cable previously connected to the power supply or to the PC.
just a moment ago I realized that in the fastboot mode if it recognizes when I connect the cable to both the current and the PC, so it is unloading the fact that it is my USB cable type C.
I am thankful for any kind of help.
So you're running a Beta of the Lineage ROM, correct? If so is it the Official version made by the Lineage Team, or is it Unofficial/ported to your device by somebody else?
