Yes, also flash bootloader, radio and vendor if its newer than you installed versions. You data partitions will not be harmed.

Open the flash-all.bat and remove the -w from the last line. Flash like you normally would.

Can i flash the stock rom with twrp or only with pc? I dont find a stock rom for flashing with twrp.
Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5X mit Tapatalk
Of course you can flash a stock rom with twrp No pc. Most if not all developers usually offer a stock version maybe just debloated some .
But that doesn't make the device Truly stock.
You would have to fastboot adb flash the stock firmware after relocking the bootloader making it out the box stock.
You can still flash a zip or .img from flashify app which means you can unroot without a pc by flashing stock recovery.img
Then choose full unroot inside SuperSU then factory reset device within the settings menu all with no Pc.
If your doing this already on stock rom and stock kernel the unroot will stick
If you do this on a custom rom or kernel it may auto reroot\install SuperSU.

OR better yet download it all stock and flash in twrp.
This is stock rom meaning Rom only roms dont flash stock recovery only the O.S This rom is from Android dev section you'd seen it if you looked in the rom section
It's pure stock 6.0.1 you must have already been on 6.0.1 firmware update not 6.0 otherwise you need the newer boot.IMG to get it to boot up.
Providing You were on 6.0.1 Now have a stock rom "BUT" still will have custom recovery after this flash because its non rooted Rom.
So now the catch 22 is that you can't flashify the stock recovery.img from flashify app without a pc at this point because there is no SuperSU root until you fastboot adb stock 6.0.1 recovery.img with a PC.

You can flash factory image without PC with FlashFire from Chainfire, search on XDA.

Not yet, FlashFire get Android 6 support only few days back, but I will try it next weekend.
I just flashed February factory image with FlashFire, everything is OK, but I forgot to say that you need root, sorry
Ok so I accidentally flashed the wrong TWRP img file. Now I get booting error. Can I just use flashify or rashr to flash stock kdz file. No access to a computer at all. Please exain how to flash back to stock no PC. Also eligible for an OTA updat. Can I just allow it to update to current updated software? Will that put my factory recovery img back ? Pls email me if you know as I don't get n here every day [email protected]

Since we have working TWRP for MHC19J build - HERE , I have one question about flashing MHC19J to my Nexus 5x.
Every month I'm flashing security updates this way:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
Reboot to recovery
Flash the latest SuperSU
but in MHC19J build there is also a new bootloader - bootloader-bullhead-bhz10m.img and a new radio - radio-bullhead-m8994f-2.6.31.1.09.img . Do I need to flash this new bootloader and radio too? I assume yes, but I prefer ask first before RMA

Yes. You need to flash the bootloader and radio because they have changed. When in doubt, flash all of them except for user data. I follow Heisenberg's directions (below).

Or you can type in "flash-all.bat" , yes this is less safe , but I have been doing this method since the day I got my Nexus 5X and I have never encountered any issue ever since ! This is the method recommended by google so ... And by the way thank you for posting the link to the new TWRP , I needed this

Won't flash-all also write user data, thereby deleting everything? There's likely a reason that the experts on this forum have never recommended to use flash-all. If you follow Heisenberg's directions, everything will be fine, and you won't lose any data.
Edit: here's something stating that flash-all will erase data unless you modify the command.
http://9to5google.com/2015/10/05/ho...nexus-5-nexus-6-nexus-7-nexus-9-nexus-player/
I didn't know Heisenberg's method doesn't erase user's data. My bad then ^^

I've flashed the last two updates using flashfire from chainfire. It injects root during the process so twrp is easily installed using flashify. All without using PC (root is of course required for using flashfire)

I'm on a custom rom and i want to update my radio and bootloader to the latest versions, but I've read that it's better return to stock when updating these images, can i update these images while on a custom rom using the fastboot commands:
fastboot flash bootloader C:\bullhead\images\bootloader-bullhead-bullhead-xx.xx.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio C:\bullhead\images\radio-bullhead-bullhead-xx.xx.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
,without returning to stock or can it be updated while on a custom rom?
(I'm sorry if my question is stupid but i'm paranoid and don't want to end up with paperweight lol)
Thanks.
@niklus101: you can update them from custom ROM, by fastboot or by recovery.

Isn't necessary but It's necessary flash the vendor.img too, I think. Why do you need to update radio and bootloader?

Factory images are universal for this device. All carriers are supported. Just flash the June factory image.
You can flash the boot, system, recovery, and vendor images through TWRP. Those same images can be flashed in the bootloader. Radio and bootloader images must be flashed in bootloader. Does that answer your question? If not, read my guide and see if that resolves your questions:

So when you install a new rom you don't need to flash the vendor image also? Because some ROMs say to also flash vendor image when installing a rom

This is covered in-depth with FAQ #9 of my link above. But in short, each monthly security update brings a new vendor image that must be installed. Each time your rom updates to a new month's security update, you need to install that vendor image. If you flash back to a previous month's rom, you need to flash that respective vendor image. Only exception is if your rom includes the vendor image in the rom zip.

Sorry one last question. I am on the latest security update stock, if I was to flash the latest AOSP extended on the latest security update all I would have to do is flash the ROM and gapps? But when the new security update is added to the ROM then I would flash the vendor image. Sorry if I'm asking to many questions but I don't want to run into a problem.

You're fine, ask away! Yes to both questions. Let's say the July security update is released for your custom rom. You would flash the July vendor.img then your rom and then that's it.

Hi,
I need to flash my phone with that exact firmware version in RETEU region, but I can't find proper firmware anywhere. Can anyone help me with that?
Or maybe can I do this:
Code:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
Using RETAIL firmware region safely?
