My Ross after 7.0 update? - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Quick question. Would I be able to flash 6.0 roms even after I've updated to 7.0? Or would I have to completely revert back to 6.0 completely?
BTW the title was a typo.
"MM after 7.0 update " is what I meant lol

To go back to 6.0 from you need to do a clean flash. Get the latest 6.0 factory image from Google and flash that.
Note: if you use the included flash-all.bat your sd will also be wiped.

If you want to go from stock 7.0 to custom 6.0 roms, just flash recovery. Within recovery flash appropriate vendor+ clean rom flash. That's it.

Quick question, where can I find the vendor.img for 6.0 ?

Google factory images. Choose correct version and download it. Then extract and voila.

[ROM][Factory Image] 4.3 - Rooted - BusyBox

This is the factory image from Google made into a flashable zip with CWM or TWRP.
Clear cache/dalvik cache but no need to clear your user data.
Warning: CWM users have reported that the "Disable Recovery Flash" option is breaking root. Be advised to choose "No." I do not have CWM so I cannot confirm but there is no reason to disable the recovery flash because no recovery is included in the zips.
If flashing from CM10.1 or some other custom roms, you may need to clear the Clock app's data.

Link for the Bootloader is the same as the one for the ROM
I will test it.
Is this flashable without rooting and unlocking?
Very nice! When can we expect deodexed?

It is intended for those that are unlocked. You must have CWM, TWRP, or some other custom recovery.

sorry, I must flash deodex and after bootloader?
(My n10 is rooted and bootloader is unlock now)
ok, I read "New bootloader(should not be necessary):"
SOOOOORRY
I am now on Jaybobs Paranoid Android and want to flash. Should I wipe completely(or system and caches) then fastboot new bootloader prior to the new rom itself?
I get android.process.acore has stopped repeatedly. Should I wipe data?
Deodexed version up.

You should be able to install without any wipe. Some people like to clear the cache and dalvik cache but even that shouldn't be necessary.
If you get an app or two that force closes after boot then you will just need to clear that app's data in Settings->Apps
Can you still receieve OTAs from any of these?

Wipe data/cache for the Contacts app and storage. Reboot. Should be good then.

This is a completely stock version, so I'd assume there's nothing in this ROM that would prevent OTAs from working (I'd use odex to be sure), but your custom recovery might(?) present a problem.... I'm not sure. You would most likely lose root if you install an update via OTA.
still though, why worry about OTAs? just flash one of these rooted ROM versions of the factory image...

Exactly.
Odex would essentially be completely stock, Deodex version allows for more theming options (Google it if you're interested in the difference), but is otherwise stock as well.

Why **** around with an ota on a nexus device when you can get the whole images from Google?

You can't flash the ota, if you have a custom recovery installed. Get the stock images from Google servers and flash system, boot, recovery and bootloader.
Because I'm Rooted! Does that matter? So i extract factory image and flash through fastboot?

update to 7.0 Ota from rooted rom?

You should flash back to stock and update. Cannot install OTA over a rooted rom I believe.
However, I came from Paranoid Android and followed the advice here, and it worked perfectly. Was able to keep root and TWRP.

currently on CM13.1 nightly I'm going to follow what you did. Hope it will work
I was rooted I use this post, and the is a link in that thread to the actual zip your will need, and also you must have the updated TWRP as well. All the information is in that thread. but that is literally it.
Download update zip
Download Flashfire
download new TWRP
Back up you crap ( will not wipe SD card unless you tell it to )
Run FlashFire, set setting correctly
run it, you will already be rooted when done
set dev mode
re-flash new TWRP
PROFIT
Did you get the option "Restore boot and recovery images" when setting Flash OTA zip? I just got Auto mount and Mount /system read/write.

If you have Xposed just get Android N-ify and it's just like having 7.0
Anyone updated from DP5 / systemless root / TWRP?
And flashed zip for adaway to work.
What are the steps to update with ota zip?
Yes and everything is ok. Follow the steps carm01 suggests some post above. Its easy and at least for me everything worked. After fisrt boot you can go to TWRP and flash everything else you need.

You can get the same experience without going through the trouble of upgrading and then having to root again etc. I personally like it but we all have opinions

I used it months ago so there could be a lot of changes to it since then?
I don't believe the new notifications are there? Quick pull down? It's also nice that it takes up a GB less for system as well.

[Q] regarding the new upcoming update! (7.1.1)

Just a quick question, as you know guys this week Google will release the new update 7.1.1 patch. as I rooted my device I won't be able to download OTA update! I already have the TWRP, EX Kernel and I don't want to lose them. Now, Is it possible to flash the new 7.1.1 update via TWRP without losing the root? if so, How?
thanks in advance for your help
As far as I know, the phone won't accept the update with your phone modified.

Have you considered just flashing the WETA ROM 1.1 which is based on the update that will be released ? I am running it with twrp, elemental kernel ON bootloader unlocked VERIZON phone . Everything works perfect. V4A is an added bonus .

sound good!, Now do if I sideload or fastboot the update will lose the root?
Yeah. You'll have to re root.
I'm pretty sure anyways. Root is part of boot partition now I believe and when you flash the factory boot it's going to erase root

V and X are the same (X more for Verizon)...you can sideload no problem
You must TWRP Backup (Untouched System Image + Boot) before rooting your phone frist time
Then every time OTA realesed you
1- restore that backup
2- flash original recovery
3- update system
4- flash TWRP
5-Rooting device
Thats it
We can side load updates while being completely stock?

Titanium backup is just for your apps etc. Twrp backs up your entire device so you can restore it later.

According to HERE the last image for MM was MTC20K.
You can even download the full image from there, and extract the vendor.img if you can't find it elsewhere.
I would also try downloading the newest N4F26T 7.1.1 just for extracting the radio.img out of it, and flashing that. Radio.img is independent of OS version, and may offer some improvement.
Flash latest MM factory image and then install cm13 I linked.
I found it a while ago, when I was testing Sailfish OS which requires installing CM13 first But it's standard CM, don't worry

Yes, just keep in mind doing factory reset before flashing older system image and you'll be good to go.

+1 I would wipe everything, and start over from scratch. WIth an unlocked bootloader, you could theoretically boot anything you wanted, as long as it's made for bullhead.
