Confusion over March Update images - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So there's been a lot of different threads about the march updates, and encryption and twrp. At the moment, I am on the Q build with twrp 2.7.8.2, stock rom decrypted with root and xposed. So if I wanted to update, should I use the V build or the J build? people have been saying there are issues with decryption in TWRP 3.0.0.0 using the J build, but if I'm decrypted should i flash the J build?

Use the V build for now until the issues are worked out. Upgrading later is alot easier than downgrading.
It still has march security updates but J build includes alot of fixes for the device like sluggishness, wifi etc.

Hallo Rahimali
Thanks for the share. I have tried this and apparently works ok. I'm unable to get WiFi working. Tried different gapps but there are force close issues. Any recommended gapps versions available?
Opengapps usually does the job. Flashing gapps with marshmallow is different than with prior android versions. With MM you have to flash gapps immediately after you flash the ROM (before booting up the ROM for the first time). Try and see if that resolves your FC issues
Updated to April 02, 2016 build!
I managed to get the force close issues resolved. Everything works fine except Wifi. I am unable to enable wifi as the button is greyed out. I tried enabling wifi from terminal using svc wifi enable, it enabled the button but wouldnt detect any available wireless networks. Any fixes for this?

Sorry no idea. Nobody is complaining in the 4pda forums about any WiFi issues. Did you do a clean flash? Maybe the developer, @ilichva can help?
bootloader and recovery
My XT907 is showing that my bootloader is "0x109B" and I am unsure what version of TWRP supports 6.0.1 (currently running 2.8.6.0)
Can anyone verify their settings and let me know?
I am running CM12.1 currently, so I should be able to dirty flash correct?
Thanks guys!
KKBL?
Anyone know of a marshmallow based rom that works with the kitkat bootloader for this device?

Are there any significant reasons to stay on the KitKat bootloader? Otherwise I'll just downgrade now that I'm rooted with an unlocked bootloader.
One of the most compelling reasons to stick with the KKBL would be the availability of the 3.4x kernel as opposed to the 3.0x kernel on the JBBL but feel free make your own decision. I was on the JBBL (by choice) for a considerable length of time without any apparent side effects...

Confirmed Working!
Can confirm this works, flashed the recovery included in the 4pda post, used it to flash the rom, gapps, and supersu. Initially booted up in Russian, but after waiting for 30 seconds or so, switched to English on its own. Setup was flawless after that, no issues to report as of now. Anyone that needs help installing the rom or downgrading from kitkat to jellybean just message me.
I thought I was the only one that ended up with default language in Russian... All the previous builds defaulted to English on install... Also when I downloaded the latest update it downloaded on my phone as a .bin not a .zip I checked the file size and contents vs what is online (after changing the extension to .zip) and everything seemed to be Ok so I installed and been up and running on latest version for 24 hours....
Had a few FC's in the beginning while changing the language to English (I have a feeling that some of my already installed apk's caused the issue) . I did do a test run before restoring my stuff and didn't have any issues during initial setup and the phone auto corrected language based off sim during initial setup.
Haven't gotten a chance to fully test this build, but I know that the issue that I was having with the native tethering soft rebooting the phone every couple of hours when active is gone! After a few more days of messing with it I will post any other issues that I come across

Any clue about why I'm getting error 7 while finishing the last steps of the ROM flashing procedure?

assert failed: oppo.verify_trustzone("TZ.BF.4.0.1-81399") == "1"

Hi and sorry for the potential newb post
Been using CM / Lineage for years and never come across an individual firmware upgrade requirement until now.
I am on Lineage nightly Feb 8th and cant go any further due to:
comparing tz version TZ.BF4.0.1-83199 to tz.bf.4.0.1-76917
assert failed: oppo.verify_trustzone("TZ.BF.4.0.1-81399") == "1"
updater process ended with ERROR: 7 error installing zip file
I have the working 1+3 TWRP installed so Is it possible to upgrade the firmware only?
Or do I have to wipe and install the latest OOS then go back to Lineage?
I downloaded OOS 41 and there is a firmware folder in there with a few bin / mbn files so kinda hoping I can somehow flash just the firmware and keep my build.
Appreciate any help....
Cheers

Here is the latest firmware (4.0.3). Download firmware + modem and flash in TWRP before LineageOS.

Hey there, sorry to bug you guys. Unfortunately I'm noob so I can't comment on the main LOS thread, but I have an issue that hopefully someone can help with. Originally on CM14 nightlies, without any dramas, obviously with the change from CM on LOS I've flashed the experimental build, then the LOS nightly to get started, all went fine until the change to unified requiring the firmware update. I've installed 2nd March nightly (by editing the file to ignore the trustzone version) in case it was that, but no seems not.
I've flashed the latest FW as mentioned, and the Baseband version is M8996FAAAANAQM-1.85373.1.86546.1 so it appears I'm running definitely running the latest FW (and there were no errors on install) I then reboot to system, download the latest nightly and go to install - still getting the TZ.BF.4.0.1-83199 to TZ.BF.4.0.1-85373 error.... Have I missed a step somewhere? or is this blindingly obvious and I'm a muppet?
Any helps appreciated! cheers

Hi, I have the exact same issue. I've flashed the firmware to 4.0.3 and successfully installed the nightly from 08/02/2017. Now when I try to flash the nightly from 09/03/2017 I get this issue again! This time nothing helps so far.

Possible to install security updates without upgrading OS?

Is it possible to install security updates without upgrading to Nougat (currently on 6.0.1)? Before anyone suggests just upgrading to Nougat, I have some Xposed modules that are only stable in M and they are very important to my workflow.
Thanks

Simple answer, possibly, if you use a custom ROM that's on andoid 6 it might merge in the security fixes. But other than that, no.
Answer to your question would be sultanxda rom for op3 which is regularly updated but if you want to remain on oxygen os then I don't think it's possible
I am also thinking about this option too, lots of phone company only have update their ROM for 1 year, that makes every android cell phone is not trustful after 1 year.

I do, I'm actually on Resurrection Remix but they moved to N quite a few patches ago. Are security updates something only the ROM dev's can include in their patches or is there a zip or apk I can flash in recovery?

Not that I'm aware of. It might be theoretically possible, but there's no way I know of to do it.
You can update your kernel to a custom version including further security fixes and update all your applications via Google Play, but there are some components of the ROM you can never update without a newer OS.
With time the small security holes will escalate to major bugs as cyber criminals take advantage of those to steal private data.

Your issue has been well documented. From what I've read, it seems to be much more prevalent when using the stock kernel (boot.img) I would try flashing a custom kernel..ie..Flash, Elemental X, or electron to name a few. Hopefully that will solve your problem :good:
Yep, custom kernel seems to resolve it... I'm using Flash's latest.

Yeah, no problem. When you flash your factory images, it will overwrite your system and return to stock kernel. Question, what do you mean by "that is all that's available for my device"? There are factory images for the P2XL on Google's site. Why not just upgrade to the January build?

Hi,
I am using Pixel2 and had same touch issue with TWRP and got a fix from other forum (Thanks to Google)
Before rebooting into recovery disable Ambient display in settings screen.
Settings -> Battery -> Ambient display >> Switch off Always On
Now try to reboot into TWRP and it should work.
If its still not working try with disabling all options under Ambient display option.
Thank You

How to roll back to Nougat OOS 4.5.1

Hello Everyone
Since I haven't flashed any custom ROM on my device in a while (I didn't like Pie much), and I am pretty bored with OOS 5.0.8 now, I would like to roll back to Nougat OOS 4.5.1 build. I've heard from multiple sources that Nougat has much better battery life and usual UI is more fluid that Oreo ROMs. Also, a user has intrigued me by saying that games in general perform much better than oreo builds.
So, I would like to give it a shot. But, I've found out so far that it isn't as easy as flashing the OOS build on top of 5.0.8. Many websites claim that I need to flash some special nougat build that will downgrade me to nougat and then I can flash OOS 4.5.1.
So, if anyone has rolled back from 5.0.8 or 5.0.7 to Nougat before, can you please guide me through the process?

Why don't u backup your existing data elsewhere and try flashing the nougat build because I am sure there will be quite a few of them who might have rolled back to Nougat.

You still didn't read my last post properly. I have no issues if it formats my data partition. I'm concerned about the other partitions. I don't want to corrupt my partition table because of downgrading to a lower and older firmware. That's all my concern is.
Was on Omni 8.1 > then Leaked OOS 9.0 build > Official LOS16 > then downgraded to special Nougat build > and now on OOS 4.5.1 with latest Magisk build & Tolyan's last Gcam 5 (1.015 final fix version) release.
No issues with partitions or modems/firmware.
Only back up your data and internal memory as they will be wiped out.
