Problems after updating to O with flashfire. - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Got a rooted 5x with TWRP recovery and upgraded with flashfire two days ago, have had problems with WiFi and 4g ever since. It drops connection intermittently, webpages takes ages to load.
I didn't update radio or bootloader with flashfire and I'm thinking this could be the issue? Does anyone have any advice as to what I should try?

Did you up grade with the ota? Or did you update just some partitions?

I let flashfire use the downloaded OTA. I left the default settings in flashfire so I think it flashed everything except bootloader and radio..

Ok i went ahead and flashed the bootloader and radio with fastboot today. Hopefully this will remediate the problems.

If there were changes to the bootloader and modem the ota would have included them but give fastboot a try anyway.

Default settings in flashfire doesn't flash bootloader and radio.
Phone has been stable so far, none of the issues I had the previous days. I will update here if it turns out it didn't fix it but so far it's stable.

Nexus 5X OTA Updates Not Working Beyond Feb 2016 in April 2016.

Hi all,
I've just become the delighted owner of an N5X (after having a N5 since launch). Just been doing my updates, and it will not update beyond Feb 2016 security updates (it is now April 2016).
I've read that there are issues with March 2016 updates that have caused fingerprint sensor problems for some users. Is this why the OTA isn't working beyond Feb 2016? Have Google put the OTA on hold until they fix? Will a regular OTA come in May 2016?
I know updates on a fresh device can be a little clunky, especially when you get to Play Services and so forth...patience is usually the key. It's been over 72 hours awake now and still no OTA beyond Feb 2016.
I know I could sideload the April updates directly (fastboot flash system system.img) from the latest Bullhead (mhc19q) factory images, and I don't particularly want to do that in case there is a reason why March 2016 and beyond updates will break my fingerprint sensor.
I'm not rooting. I just want pure stock. All I've done is unlocked the N5X bootloader so I can at least do some flashing if I need to without wiping the device. I may be able to load TWRP into the RAM to do a backup though, on a temproot.
Any ideas anyone on doing this the OTA way? It's a little annoying not having the latest and greatest (on a brand new device), which is why I've always been a Nexus fan.
Thanks.

Use fastboot to manually update to the March or April OTA. You can roll back to any factory image if you have problems.
Alternatively, ADB sideload the update.zip of you have that. Instructions are here:

Cool, I'm okay with that. I just flashed my N5 up to April without any problems. N5X is a little different (OEM unlock option etc), but device now has bootloader unlocked and so I can flash April system.img later. [emoji2]

Cool, you want to upgrade every IMG since you're coming from the February OTA. So the bootloader, radio, boot, system, and vendor of using fastboot. If you're using the ADB sideload method, you'll have to upgrade successfully (update twice), from one month to the next to get to April.

Oh bums...and I just spent a good 3 hours setting up my phone! Now I'll lose it all right? Because my data is retained if I just flash system.img, but if I basically flash-all.bat (which is what you're suggesting), it'll be wiped. Is that correct?

Sorry for the delay, I was busy yesterday. I was referring to using fastboot to flash each partition separately, which is detailed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3206930
Manually flashing each partition (except userdata.img) in fastboot OR ADB sideload the zip does not wipe user data. I use fastboot each month to update each partition then regain root in TWRP.
If you go the flashall.bat method, manually edit and remove the -w from the script before running it. -w will wipe the phone in the install process. I have not personally used flashall.bat method, but this is what I have learned from XDA.

Nexus 5x OTA update

My Device is not updating to April or even May security patch its stuck on march update please help I am running build MMB29V can anyone possibility help?
I had similar issue but mine wouldn't update from April-May so I flashed factory image via fastboot because I got tired of waiting. I suggest fastboot flash the image. You can grab it on the factory images for Nexus devices website.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
you can update ota.zip and do it via adb sideload.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/ota
If you have TWRP , you can just flash the system.img and vendor.img right in recovery.

Fantastic! I just noticed that Google has posted OTA URL zips so you can ADB sideload from any prior release to the latest OTA!

Although i know i could side-load the may update, i am curious of the underling cause for not receiving the update regularly. Are OTA-updates supposed to hit you the day they are announced or is this somehow region-depended?

Usually, Google does staged rollouts which takes awhile. You could do ADB Sideload. Download then ADB Sideload the MTC19T zip OTA image from Google:

If your drive is encrypted you cannot root without losing all your data. You will have to save your data and files for restoration after rooting.

Wrong. See the post above yours.
Also flashing an old vendor image makes TWRP work even if the phone is encrypted. So one could flash TWRP, an old vendor image, SuperSU, then the correct vendor image.

No, it does not. But you should back up your data anyway.
Edit: are you encrypted? It may wipe your data. You may want to do the other method I described.

Does this work with the final version of Nougat?
It does work, but Android pay will not if you use it. Atleast that was my experience.
For sh!ts and giggles I unrooted (by flashing dp5 with the -w flag removed) then rerooted with CF-Autoroot and it didnt wipe /data. Just thought Id post this for anyone else that may have the same question.

Some yes. Download the kernel zip you want to install and unzip it. If it contains the boot.img then flash that with fastboot.
Though now that twrp works with encrypted phones on N there isn't a good reason not to use it.

[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.

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

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

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

ANy way to go from 7.1.2 to 7.1.1 without wiping?

I'm not rooted and my bootloader is still locked.

I am assuming a Google phone.
You can drop out of the beta and you should get an OTA to take you back. However last I heard from others they are still waiting on their OTA. So that might require waiting a bit.
Anything else will wipe the phone. Unlocking it will trigger a wipe. If you are already unlocked you could do it....But you are not.
Everything you mentioned will wipe the device. The is no way to go back manually. The only way not to force wipe the phone is to wait for the release version of. 2 in a few months.
Sent from my Pixel using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Is 7.1.2 as awful as 7.1.1 was?
You'll need to wait for the mysterious OTA after you unenroll. That's your only option being that your bootloader is locked.
