[Help] Android 8.1 OTA Sideload - Settings Keep Crashing - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

Hi,
I just sideloaded 8.1 (coming from 8.0). Things went smoothly and in the recovery mode, my phone is now listed as 8.1.
My problem is that whenever I try to go on settings now, it always crashes. I did attempt to redownload the OTA and sideload it again, but that still didn't help. I'm not sure what I did wrong...
Solved: Never mind I was an idiot. Forgot that I had substranum theme on, and it didn't play well with 8.1

Why you not try to flash. all bat with remove - w.

Hi, sorry i didn't know your bootloader status. Maybe just factory reset.

Hey thanks for trying to help but I figured it out. I forgot that I had substratum theme installed. That didn't like 8.1 apparently. I uninstalled it and it's working fine now

[ROOT][INFO][MARSHMALLOW] How to Root Moto X Force 6.0 [TESTED]

Hello guys,
Here I'm sharing a little info about rooting Moto X Force (marshmallow) for those who don't know. Do not flash BETA-SuperSU-v2.64-20151220185127.zip it's giving lots of force closes. Note: I'm using EU version firmware.
This method is only for Moto X Force and not for Droid Turbo 2
Steps:
Install 6.0 OTA or either manually....
Download BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip
Download Moto X Style recovery from here
Go to bootloader and write the following command....
fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.0-clark.img

Please edit first post with completely guide instead of "Described in other threads about how to boot Moto X Style Recovery..." Beginners need full lazy guide, experienced users don't need anything at all.
You're suggesting nandroid backup, have you tried to restore backup you made?

Good, you confirmed that clark recovery fully works. It's only upside down. I'll drop pm/email to twrp team to build recovery for us.
Hey guys!!! I'm not new on android stuff but this explanation for root and twrp installation in Moto X Force are kind a vague! Could anyone explain how to this procedure better?
Is there any bug by using Moto X Style twrp?]
Thank you guys!!!

So, I unlocked BL on 5.1.1. Do I need to Unlock again after upgrading to 6.0?
In Fastboot Mode it shows DEVICE Unlocked

Just wondering because someone wrote that, after flashing manually or via OTA, you had to Unlock everytime.
Saturday when I'm back at home I'll root again.
Last time I got BootLoop after instaling SuperSu

Once unlocked, remains unlocked. Even for unofficial unlocks using exploit. At least it was the case for now. Moto used to have hardware fuse, which burns out after bl unlock. Not sure for Force.
Hi!, what about the v2.65-20151226141550 version?, do you know if it works for us?
I've tried this one. It doesn't work on MXF. Don't flash it.

Actually I got answer but didn't have time to test. Also I asked can I share the link on the forum but didn't get answer yet. It's new year after all. If someone is willing to test, send me pm.
Just to let you know, few of you sent me pm and I sent link for twrp back. According testers, it's still upside down. Already sent pm to the dev. Waiting for response.

I also have a problem after flashing Android n the root access and
Twrp is gone please tell how to install it again
Same issue here...I dont think it is possible, easily anyway. If you notice after it boots back into TWRP your internal storage is displayed as empty. All storage is. It says the installation is succeessful, but I think after it pushed the root files to ypur phone and rebooted to flash them, it could not as the files were no longer there......I don't know though.....Good luck!!

Regarding Root I have used phh's modified boot image from somewhere in XDA the link of which I forgot and fastboot flashed. With that I have installed phh superuser from Google play store and root works. However, some apps doesn't approve the SuperSU and busybox doesn't get installed. Meantime, there are multiple boot images for rooting N. If interested you can try the images one by one and post your results here
Here is root for N

[ISSUES] Android Nougat. Cant turn on wifi, performance dropdown

I upgraded my phone to Android Nougat OTA yesterday. Tried to turn on wifi but nothing happened. I also issued performance dropdown and overheating. I did a factory reset but it didn't fix the problem.
Well sounds like something went wrong. May need to factory reset or load a factory image (once avliable) which would be best.
You can screw around with trying to reflash the OTA package otherwise.

I guest I'll wait for the image then
I don't have this issue.
What I did is, flashed full OTA zip using ADB sideload, and then I did a factory reset.
No performance dropdown, no overheat.
Although some old apps are getting force close frequently, updating them solved it.

Nexus 5X, unrooted, T-Mobile OTA update to Nougat. Tried the following and none resolved the wifi issues:
1. Rebooted phone.
2. Booted into Safe Mode.
3. Wiped cache partition.
4. Uninstalled latest Google Connectivity Services.
5. Reinstalled latest Google Connectivity Services.
6. Reset network settings.
Called Google support and they recommended a factory reset. I haven't tried that because I don't think it will work and I don't want to have to start all over from scratch. Any other suggestions are welcome!

Help installing team blackout apps

So I just upgraded to 7.1.1 and am running twrp rc1 and rooted with sr5.
Has anyone had success installing blackout apps? I've tried flashing calender, duo, and YouTube, but none of them work. I made sure updates were uninstalled or the app was deleted before flashing through twrp and it still doesn't work.
I am doing that very same thing and like Micmars told me,,,,most of these apps you have to extract from the zip and place in their respective folders, set permissions and reboot,,,,only ones I am having a problem with is calendar and inbox,,,everything else works.

Far as I know swift black is the only one that works
I'm running Swift Black Substratum on 7.1.1. The theme engine is easy to use and works off stock apps. No need to install theme ready gapps.

Thanks for the info. It's funny because I tried using Substratum a few weeks ago and it wasn't ready for the Pixel so I got stuck in a bootloop and had reflash my phone at 2am. So glad it works now. Thanks again!

if you got twrp installed and get bootloop go to twrp mount vender then go to advanced and file explorer and delete sub from there and your phone will boot just fine

Make sure you pick 7.1.1 Pixel in Substratum when applying the theme and the theme has to support 7.1.1.

I have to get updated to 7.1.1 first but that's no big deal.

Can you block the Pie update?

Hi folks,
I have some apps that I am using that are not compatible with Pie yet and I do not want to update.
How can i make sure I don't update until i'm ready?

You can if your fully bootloader unlocked, and do a clean fastboot installation of 8.1. And yes, your phone will need to be wiped :good:
