Hi Guys,
First off, I have looked around for a solution before posting... I just can't find anyone with a similar problem as mine.
As I stated in the title>
Nexus 7 2013 wifi 16gb flo
Kitkat 4.4.2
I was and still plan to install Ubuntu touch - looks great! However, I didn't want to loose my KitKat, I need it for work. So I researched and found MultiROM which is just what I needed.
I followed this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...tmctr=(not provided)&__utmv=-&__utmk=34826402
And installed this app:
http://click.xda-developers.com/api...iROM v23 - xda-developers&txt=Install the app
I opened up the app, and it prompted me to install a modded kernel, so I did. I now have kernel version:
3.4.0-g20f5923

Wed Sep 25 22:02:11 CEST 2013
Problem is I can no longer turn on my wifi, everything else seems just fine.
Any tips?
Apologies if there is a post to address this and I couldn't find it...
Thanks...
Jared.
kernel
Looking around some more, I am convinced that it has to be the modded kernel causing my wifi issue.
Can anyone suggest a modded kernel that will work with MultiROM v23 and fix my wifi issue?
I tried flashing Francos Kernel last night, but it failed to install...
Any suggestions would be muchly appreciated...
Thanks...
You've installed kernel for 4.3 into 4.4.2 system. Latest update to the MultiROM Manager app (v1.106) should choose the correct version by default, it should be "Stock 4.4.1 and 4.4.2".
correct kernel

Thanks Tassadar for taking the time to get back to me, thing is I just let the app decide which kernel... I will try use odin to flash the correct kernel as TWRP will not allow me to flash it.
I'll let you know how it pans out...
Thanks again....
All good again!

I'm a bit late on this. I've never rooted my Nexus 7, but I'd like to check out Android L on it. Could someone kindly point me to the most recommended instructions for achieving this?

Mine came rooted, but you probably can use Nexus Root Toolkit as a easier way to unlock and root.
And then I've highly recommend to use multirom to not affect current version as long as L is not yet released.
Multirom could be installed from Play, than you need to apply its prerequisites and install from add rom feature of twrp.
Hello. First of all , I'd like to apologize if my question is dumb and has already been answered... But I'm running out of ideas , i would like to install the Pure Nexus Rom because I'm on Cyanogen but the last build completely messed up my phone... And I don't know what Vendor image I should download ... I don't even know what that is... Thanks a lot for your future answers!

Either use fastboot or TWRP 3.0 to flash the MMB29Q vendor before flashing the February OTA based Pure Nexus build. Check a rom's changelog to see which OTA it is based on, then flash that vendor image if need be. I must also add, several roms are based on the latest February AOSP branch which is MMB29U, the 5X MMB29Q vendor is what still needs to be installed. This is not a stupid question, you want to ask things like this to be sure you are in the know.

Not problem, that's why this forum exists!

So what exactly does the vendor image do? Why do we need to update to update the ROM after a new android version is released?

From what I understand it's the drivers specific for that device, created by the device manufacturer. What I can't figure out is whether I should download those from this site of if they should be provided by the manufacturer somewhere? Like on lg.com?

I've never used LG's website, but the vendor image is included in each 5X factory image:

Hi All,
Yes, it's not a mistake, I need to revert one of my Swifts to 6.0.1
I applied the 'update' offered by Wileyfox, and was appalled by the changes, especially foisting Truecaller on me. Because my other Swift is still on 6.0.1, I could see what had been broken.
So, I need help to find a signed zip + instructions on how to apply it please.
I would also like to remove the 'nag' from the other Swift, mainly to make sure I don't apply the upgrade by accident.
TIA
Dave
Hi visit this site you can find some here https://cyanogenupdatetracker.com/downloads/

The CM 13.1.5 on cyanogenupdatetracker seems to be the latest available version, alternative sites offer just 13.1.2.

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.

You'll have much more control over your kernel, such as, color control, gestures, memory, governors, schedulers, vibration, and wakelocks :good:

Flash and Ex have been my 2 favorites for a long time. Flash does a great job keeping it up to date with upstream changes, and Ex has been a solid performer for many years. Can't go wrong with either :good::good:

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?

Thanks Badger . that's what i figured , but wanted to be safe as ive read you can't revert back but i'm assuming that's to the 8.0 os builds. Yeah i was all over it looking for my device build to flash the jan build but it's only showing the dec build for mine on the developers google site 8.1.0 (OPM2.171019.012, Dec 2017, Telus Only)

im pretty sure you can use the version (OPM1.171019.013, Jan 2018)
as you see, there isn't a Telus only build for every single release.
Hopefully someone who is more familiar will chime in and give you some assurance

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

I know the P2 is a little different than the P2XL, but, have you tried disabling screen lock security and then fastbooting into twrp?
