updating ota under CWM

Hi,
How do I update to the latest stock OTA when using CWM?
Do I extract the image zip file from the google image
and update in fastboot as below:
fastboot -w update image-yakju-icl53f.zip
if so, will this wipe anything?

either you use fastboot or you use cwm, no point using the two at the same time, under controlled conditions.

-w wipes. Omit -w and it won't wipe.
With that being said it's not necessary. Download the OTA, boot into recovery and apply the update with CWM.

You are mixing-up two things: there is a difference between flashing the latest build or updating a previous build. In the first case, you actually flash a full ROM. In the latter, you flash an increment OTA update. Both methods should get you to exactly the same build.

Try getting it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706441
Download the whole rom and unzip it, you'll find a file call boot.img
Extract it out and flash that to your device in fastboot by using fastboot flash boot boot.img

[HELP NEEDED] Android Oreo (final) install Android 7.1.2 Custom Rom (Pure Nexus)

Hi,
I've installed Android O on my Nexus 5x right now.
Now I want to install The Pure Nexus Project, but I don't know if it's possible.
Do I get any problems with vendor images etc.? I only unlocked the bootloader now.
I hope you can help me (fast),

Is your bootloader all ready unlocked???

Yes, I unlocked my bootloader already.

Download 7.1.2 factory image, unzip it and fastboot flash bootloader, vendor and radio images as well as the TWRP recovery, reboot to recovery and install Pure Nexus.

That's the way to do it lol

So if I download the vendor image that's given with the rom I'm safe?

Yes, as long as you flash the bootloader and the radio images from 7.1.2.
If the ROM provides vendor you only have to flash bootloader and radio images, if it doesn't then you'll need to flash the vendor too. Pure Nexus does not provide vendor so you'll have to flash that as well, and it's not provided by Pure Nexus either, it's the same vendor.img that you get from the 7.1.2 factory image that you'll have to download for bootloader and radio anyway.
Just do what I told you.

No worries, if I were you I'd just use the flash-all.bat (windows)/flash-all.sh (nice open operating systems) to ensure you get a clean slate, then fastboot flash TWRP and install Pure Nexus from that.

Wifi not turning on other than marshmallow firmware

I'm facing a weird problem with my wifi on nexus5x
I can only open/access wifi on just marshmallow 6.0.1 firmware which is MTC20K
I tried flashing around 6 different stock firmwares including the latest 4 oreo firmwares. On every firmware other than mtc20k i can't turn on wifi.
Any way to fix this on oreo or nougat?
Any one else having this issue?
Note : i have fixed BLOD. Is that the reason for this?

I don't think so you probably have bad vendor.img

it does include vendor img but depends if it gets flashed you can try flashing it manually. Extract the vendor img from the zip and move it to the folder you have fastboot "installed" and flash it with the command fastboot flash vendor vendor.img if that doesn't help either maybe its because you're radio img doesn't match the firmware you have and you can re flash it with with the command fastboot flash radio radio-bullhead-yourfirmware'sradio.img you need to extract that to the fastboot folder too

did it work? i have the same issue

Didn't work for me I'm running 8.1 Oreo with June security patches. Also my MAC address is weird 02:00:00:00:00:00 never seen one like this.

Did you do a full firmware flash, or just boot and system?

Flash AOSP

Hi
I have Xperia XZ2 Compact with Android 9 with unlocked bootloader. was trying to flash a ROM built from AOSP. I followed this official Sony's instruction: https://developer.sony.com/develop/...build-instructions/build-aosp-android-p-9-0-0. I have just added a field in xml that is used in Information about phone activity. The build was succesfull. In the end I get an information: "Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot". I did wiped the data, system and dalvik before flashing in TWRP. What the hell is going on?

That's the wrong OEM.
Please follow my instructions in the SonyAOSP thread.
Or step 7 of your linked guide from sony.

So now the following steps to do:
1) download oem.img from https://developer.sony.com/file/download/software-binaries-for-aosp-pie-android-9-0-kernel-4-9-tama/
2) wipe data/cache/system,
3) from package built from AOSP do this
fastboot flash boot out/target/product/<device>/boot.img
fastboot flash system out/target/product/<device>/system.img
fastboot flash vendor out/target/product/<device>/vendor.img
fastboot flash userdata out/target/product/<device>/userdata.img
and lastly
fastboot flash oem img_from_point_one.img ?

Just follow my sonyaosp thread fastboot instructions

No files found in android 9 stock firmware https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=288319.
Allright that's original firmware but what if I want to make my own changes in AOSP? Thats the point.
