Rollback from O to N - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

I unenrolled from the Android beta program yesterday but they still haven't sent an OTA to rollback to N. Can I use wugz to manually do it?

Have you tried just flashing the latest N factory image or are you trying to retain data and such?

I'd wipe data just to be safe

On Verizon you cannot flash the latest public image. The bootloader is too old coming from Android O

I guess wugz is a toolkit right? I'm not sure why you'd need to use anything other than the bootloader menu to flash a factory image. Extract the image you want, in bl menu (on the computer) just type flash-all if you're on Windows, walk away when it starts and come back in 10 minutes. Done.

That's what I was thinking. And the fact that a full wipe is desired makes it even easier.

Yes wugz is a root toolkit but it also let's you restore your phone with whatever version of Android you want, and also downloads the image for you. I haven't tried doing it through the bootloader

Are you familiar with flashing Google factory images? If not, @CZ Eddie has a nice tutorial in the guides sub-forum.

I do that through ADB right?

No, you do it while in the bootloader menu from the computer. You just need to make sure your device is recognized in bootloader mode on the computer with the command fastboot devices. It should show up. Then flash to your hearts content. Just download and extract the correct image to the correct folder on the computer.

Ok I'll give it a shot

i'm not having any luck with adb. It doesn't show my device in fastboot OR recovery. When the phone is booted up, adb works fine. Can I just put the image zip on the phone and install through revovery?

No I think you should properly learn how to use fastboot and adb before continuing any further.
What fastboot version are you currently using.
What output do you get when you type fastboot devices with your device in the bl menu. Let's figure out you're fastboot issues first and then worry about flashing the image(which will be the easy part).

Wise words. Not replying to the OP so hopefully he reads down a bit. It looks like his drivers are not working, i.e. the fastboot ones since he can adb. If he's on Windows then device manager should show an exclamation mark or unknown device. There is a fastboot installation, let me take a look see if I can find it. Ok here ya go. https://www.androidusbdrivers.com/google-pixel-usb-drivers/ I actually didn't need to do that exact procedure but I've been fastbooting for some time.
To the OP. You need to get 'fastboot devices' command to show your device when connected via usb to your computer and in bootloader mode. Once it sees the device the rest is child's play.

I can get the phone to show on the computer in adb when the phone is booted up, but it won't show while in fastboot. I use the same command 'adb devices' when the phone is booted up and also in fastboot. I looked through my device manager and there's no exclamation points anywhere on both computers that I've tried

You need to type "fastboot devices" when in the bootloader.

Confused with rooting and TWRP

I am getting mixed messages with how to root. I figured I have to flash TWRP before rooting, but how do I do that with having MDA89E version? The tutorial for flashing new OTA says I have to have TWRP first??? Can someone put me in the right direction??? Thanks a lot.

Get this one: MDB08I - 6.0.0: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/bullhead-mdb08i-factory-64536fcf.tgz , unpack it fully down to the folder that has the image files in it and that can be anywhere (let's say \temp for now).
Notice that there is a batch file that can do a full flash of the OS that you'll have unpacked from the .tgz file. You'll use that once in Fastboot to flash it. Don't worry about having TWRP or a special bootloader before you do any of this. Just get into fastboot (like "adb reboot bootloader" or hold down up&down&power buttons for awhile until in fastboot). Once in flashboot:
Flash MDB08I, boot things up, set things up, make sure it seems "normal" and check the "about phone" settings, and then you should be set to do what you want with the modified image & TWRP, etc.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong but when I try to flash I get an error "fastboot is not recognized...blah."

I confirmed fastboot and adb are working correctly so not sure what I'm doing wrong. Just opening the batch file opens command window correct? I don't have to do anything else?
Sent from my Nexus 5X using XDA Free mobile app
You need to put the extracted files from the download "flash-all.sh, flash-all.bat, flash-base.sh bootloader-bullhead-bhz10i.img, image-bullhead-mdb08i.zip, radio-bullhead-m8994f-2.6.28.0.065.img" in the same folder as platfrom-tools. From there you run the flash-all.bat in the command prompt. just did it today.

If you are getting confused you can always use the Unified Android Toolkit to download/flash the MDB08I image automatically. It will guide you through decrypting and rooting it too.
If you want to learn and do it all manually then good luck
Mark.

You say that you "confirmed fastboot and adb are working correctly", but that doesn't sound right since your prior post said that "fastboot not recognized". Everyone else that's posted is on the right track and you need to be certain that fastboot (and adb for that matter) are in the correct path or they won't run or be recognized. It's not automatic. You need to either modify %PATH% var in windows, but that's semi-complex, or take the easy road, and move a copy of fastboot & adb to the same folder your image files (.img) are in. Also be certain to move the 'flash-all.bat' file(s) to the same place.
Change your directory to be where all those files are. Be certain the device is in fastboot mode and then make sure it's all working by doing this (or these) commands:
Code:
c:\{place-where-it's-all-at}: fastboot devices
That command should list some number which is the device number which verifies that fastboot is recognized and that the device is recognized.
you can do the same thing with adb (adb devices, look at the number).
---------------------- If that works.... -----------------
Stay in that folder and do the flash-all.bat (OK, I don't recall the exact name of their everything flash file, but I think it's that). It takes some time, but I've used these instructions to help a couple people through this.
Of course, mskip's way is also fine. Whatever works is good. -- Good luck. You're no where near being bricked and in good shape to get this done.
I thought I wasn't able to do that without flashing the image first. Anyway ibwas able to figure it out. I did try to flash TWRP and root with your tootkit but got a nessage " recovery not recognized" or something to that effect. Any idea?

The way I've talked about flashing the image, you don't need TWRP, or anything before you do it, other than what I said. If someone has now put up a zip version of the image, then yeah, you'd need custom recovery, but you don't need to use a zip image. It's less confusing just to use the native stuff and fastboot.
Is fastboot working or not. Are you sure you are getting the phone into fastboot? Can you get output from a "fastboot devices" command? Also, please give us the exact error messages. Write them down when you see them. It'll help whichever of us is trying to help.
I helped someone with this type of problem over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63439400&postcount=17 , so maybe reading that will help.
I was able to flash the image over with fastboot so I'm now on the OTA. My question now is with flashing twrp. When it prompts within twrp to allow modifications or keep as read only? That's where I'm stuck now. Thanks for your help.

Good. There's no point in installing TWRP at all unless you allow modifications. Allow them and tell that screen to go away forever. Good luck.
Yeh I figured that but never came across if before with other phones. Would you know if its an excessively long boot time after first flashing it?

Once you get to this point (installing TWRP), it's best to find & follow the best guide (by that I mean that people had the least problems with) verbatim. Then ask questions in that thread:
I took a quick look and this one looks fine: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/guide-how-to-install-custom-recovery-t3231143
Another way to to use mskips ways, but ask questions afterward in his thread.
I don't have a 5x (or anything like it) and I only really want to comment on things I've done a number of times before. My only comment about boot "quickly" vs. "booting normally", is that the first time you've done something "traumatic" like unencrypting, or wiping something, then of course it takes longer to do a regular boot. Booting into recovery should always be nearly instant.

Zenfone 2 CM13 (i need help please)

So, I tried to install CM13 on my zenfone 2 using a tethered custom recovery and now when I apply the update and restart, I am redirected to the bootloader menu. (cm13 and gapps install but when i restart i go back to reboot i go to bootloader)
If possible help me make it stay on cm13 or marshmallow
i have zenfone 2 1080p
I'm not 100 percent sure, but I believe you need installed TWRP. Tethered wont do. I could be wrong tho.

Is your bootloader unlocked?
I have the same problem, I followed a guide I found here on xda to unlock the bootloader of the ze550ml mm beta, problem is that, after using that guide and supposedly unlocking the bootloader, using the twrp i found in that guide i tried to flash the latest cm13 build for my device but it always goes to fastboot, also the only recovery that works is the twrp I found in that guide. Please help me fix this.

Do you have the advantage drivers and fastboot installed on your pc? Did you go into developer mode in your phone and turn on USB debugging? Lastly, did you authorize the pc to debug your phone? (the authorization screen that pops up the first time you send an add command to your phone)... It sounds like one of these issues are your problem

Any help to unbrick my Z00AD?

My Zenphone will not boot. It say's it's updating firmware and then goes to the Android on it's back..
I can get to the boot loader and recovery but no commands via adb will work. Say's I have "no permissions". I'm using ubuntu if that matters.
I downloaded UL-Z00A-WW-4.21.40.184-user.zip and try to sideload via adb but again, no permissions.
I'm hoping I can unbrick and any help is greatly appreciated.

The device shows up when I send "fastboot devices".
I tried fastboot flash and the name of the zip but terminal just sits at "waiting for device".
Any fastboot commands just result in the same.

Make sure you have downloaded and installed the correct drivers for your new Z2 Force. Once the drivers are installed and your device is connected, open the device manager and make sure you don't have any yellow question marks next to your device. If you do, right click on the line and select update driver and let Windows do its thing to locate the drivers.
You also need to make sure you have adb and fastboot installed on your PC. You can you the simple adb/fastboot installer or download the Android SDK Platform Tools which contains arb and fastboot.
If you decide to download an app/fastboot installer, make sure you select the option to install it system wide.
Now, make sure you have connected your Z2 and open a command prompt window and type:
adb devices
It will start the daemon. Type adb devices again and you should see your device serial number.
Once you see your serial number type:
adb reboot bootloader
Now begin the TWRP installation process
Okay, be careful with your choice of commands when trying to install TWRP. With our device, when you first attempt to install TWRP, you want to "BOOT" the TWRP.img
You DO NOT want to flash the TWRP.img
You only want to BOOT the TWRP.img and then once booted to TWRP recovery, you will flash the TWRP installer zip that can be obtained from
www.TWRP.me webiste.
Flashing the TWRP Installer zip will complete the TWRP installation.

Nice work. This is an awesome device. There is still so much more to be figured out though. I have dedicated myself to figure out why we can't delete anything from the OEM Partition. I posted a question a couple of weeks ago but nobody responded with an answer or any ideas so I'm gonna do what I can to figure it out.
On Pokemon Go, have you tried to hide Magisk from Pokemon Go in the Magisk Manager under Magisk Hide? May give it a shot.

Yeah. Tried it. Still said it wasn't compatible. It was weird.
As for the oem thing, how you going about looking on to it?
I always wanted to make a room or whatever. But never knew where to start

No touch on OS after failed root

Hi everyone.
I'm desperate for help here. I've not even had this phone 12 hours and it's unusable. I feel sick to stomach.
I tried to root my phone via TWRP.img boot and Majisk.
Followed the process, booted into TWRP.img.
Flashed TWRP and Majisk(I assume on the same partition, my idiot mistake there) and it went into bootloop.
No problem, reflash back to factory image and now touch screen doesn't work on the OS.
To test, I reboot back into TWRP.img and touch works there.
I'm begging you wonderful people here.
Please help.
Edit: Additional information, it always boots into recovery mode before booting OS

Try flashing the stock firmware keeping the -w and then boot the twrp.img, switch slots, reboot to bootloader and flash stock again.

This didn't work.
:crying:
Boot into twrp then run the magisk uninstaller. Then flash the factory image.

Stupid question,
I can't seem to get access to the phone's storage on my PC since I can't get into the OS.
I assume there's another way to access the storage?
Thank you!

Do you have the stock recovery on your device now? If so boot into it and use adb to push the file to your device.

What do you get when you type adb devices. Does that return the serial number. Also, do you have the latest sdk platform tools?

What process did you follow?
Did you purchase it from Google or Verizon?
Do you have the latest SDK Platform-tools r28.0.1?

Yes, the latest.
I followed this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgV1xxkcBk8
I purchased via contract from EE(UK). I very much doubt they will replace the handset.
I'm starting to panic

That may not be good. When you boot into the stock do you select the adb sideload, I don't remember exactly what it says. You need to do that too run the adb commands.

I have no idea. I don't think I have touched anything that mentions adb sideload

Ok, you're booting into the bootloader and then going to recovery? Then you get the dead andriod? Then you press and hold power then press and release vol up to get into the recovery? Then you should see a selection for "Apply update from adb". You need to get there to run adb commands.
