Hi folks. I'll start off with some disclaimers.
I'm not part of the Jide team or in any way affiliated with RemixOS other than that I was given permission to post an "easy install" package here.
I cannot fix bugs. If you want to tell me about bugs you are welcome to, but there's nothing I can do about them. This thread *may* be monitored by Jide team members, but I cannot guarantee timeliness nor thoroughness.
I am only here to support this thread in regard to "How To Install It". That said, I will try to assist anyone with any issues that I can. I can't fix bugs, but I can answer question and may be able to resolve some issues.
This process WILL WIPE your device, so be sure to back up any important files beforehand.
Now that all that's out of the way, let's get to it.
If you haven't heard about RemixOS, here's a little intro: http://www.jide.com/remixos
Remix is a different kind of Android experience.
The only way to install RemixOS at this moment is through fastboot. I took their firmware files and simplified "flash-all" batch script and packaged it alongside ADB and fastboot. If you already have ADB and fastboot, you can download the firmware directly from Jide and install just like always: http://www.jide.com/remixos/devices/nexus9
If you don't have ADB or fastboot, or just want to speed up your install process, keep reading.
You will need an UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER to do this. Unlocking your bootloader will wipe your device, but so will installing this ROM normally, so again be sure to back up important files. Click the spoiler button in the instructions below to see the additional steps for unlocking your bootloader.
Pre-install: Enable "OEM Unlocking" in Developer Settings. To do this: go to "About Tablet" in Settings. Tap "Build Number" seven times. You'll see a notification that you are now a developer, and now you'll have a "Developer Options section in Settings. Go into Developer Options and enable "OEM Unlocking" by flipping the toggle.
1. DOWNLOAD EASY INSTALL PACKAGE:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=92087
2. Unzip the package. Just the .zip file you downloaded, no need to unzip anything within the original .zip file.
3. Boot your Nexus 9 into bootloader mode. (power off tablet, hold "Volume Down" and "Power" buttons simultaneously for 4-5 seconds. You'll see a white screen with multicolor text if successful)
4. Connect tablet to PC via microUSB cable.
To unlock bootloader, if necessary:
A. Hold Shift and right-click within the unzipped folder containing ADB and fastboot tools, then click "Open a command window here". A command prompt will pop up.
B. Type
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
C. This will wipe your device and takes a few minutes. If it reboots afterwards, get back into bootloader mode to continue.
5. Double-click "flash-all.bat", the batch file within the folder you unzipped from the package.
6. Wait for a while. It takes a few minutes. Do not unplug the tablet or turn off your computer during this process. It will reboot automatically when complete.
Congratulations, you are now running RemixOS 3.0!
A few notes for modders:
I was able to root using CF Auto Root.
TWRP works fine for flashing some .zips, but remember this is a heavily modified AOSP so not all mods will work.
I have not tested Xposed.
Layers do NOT work.
If you install a custom recovery or modify /system you will not be able to install OTA updates, you will have to flash the entire package manually.
Awesome! Can't wait to try it. I just left remix because I couldn't stand to run a 5.1 base. But it was always fast and smooth!

Rather than this, a TWRP flashable version would be awesome.

I am not sure it supports LTE. I only have a WiFi Nexus 9, and have no way to test it.
I'll ask @RemixOS_Jason to check on it for you.
I have been using it from when I got N9 from swappa. Tried other custom and stock ROMs. I keep coming back. Been the best so far. The last stock was dp5 haven't tried 7.0
We have the LTE one ready. I'll share in this thread the download link within 24-48 hours. Thanks!

From latest Google image, as in from Nougat? Wouldn't any 6.0.1 vendor image work, so long as it was more recent than the ROM build?

Would love another update for WiFi version as well, but I have two questions.
1. Is there any way we can be given the choice of using our own launcher? It's really frustrating.
2. If we can't, can the option be added back to not have all apps on the home screen? It was present I believe in the previous build, but it's gone again. I could have two apps on the screen, and everything else in the app drawer. Prefer that.
Hey dictionary,
I talked to migration team and, as of my writing, there is no schedule for another update for the the Wi-Fi version.
1) Currently, Remix OS doesn't support other launchers.
2) Putting this feature back into Remix OS for N9's can be done if we gather enough feedback from the community for it. Personally, I totally get the reason you'd rather have clean desktop option, but we have limited resources here and I need for the feature to be asked by many users first.
Thanks and I do hope you understand. Btw, have you tried any of our other products (ie. Remix OS for PC or Remix OS Player?) They both have the clean desktop feature.
Thanks!

1) yeah, was just hoping they'd allow it.
2) I don't know why it'd be an issue, as it was there before. Shouldn't it be the same as remix for PC? I tried remix player, but it didn't run that great on my PC. I currently also run Remix for PC dual booting on my laptop. Runs great
You may want to try Remix OS Player again if you're still interested as we made some optimizations and now allow you to use all your CPU cores rather than leave at least one core for your host OS and PC.
http://www.jide.com/remixos-player#download
For tablets like N9, our product managers made a call that for touchscreen devices, there is minimal need for the Desktop mode since it's more intuitive for PC environments and keyboard and mouse input.

I'll give player another shot later today.
No disrespect to the PM's, but I vehemently disagree. There is no easy way to sort them, and putting all things in folders isn't very aesthetically pleasing. I have well over 60 apps installed, and it's just a jumbled mess. I always run a clean desktop on my devices. I find it much more intuitive having all apps right by my thumb.
If they refuse to, that's fine. I'll try to find a way to just move the launcher and file manager from my Remix OS for PC over to the n9
@dictionary Your opinion is duly noted. I've definitely passed on your opinion to them as well as @KSS2016 's comment.
Let me know how Remix OS Player works out for you. Thanks.

If you are on Lollipop, this guide is NOT for you!
Almost none of this is my work, I just collect it and put it together in one place and I'm writing a small how-to get things done.
PLEASE ONLY PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!!!!!
ONLY FOR ZX551ML
Bootloader unlock:
Currently the only way I was able to get ROOT on the phone was by installing it from TWRP which required an unlocked bootloader, so the first step is to get the bootloader unlocked, to do this please follow this steps:
1) Enable USB debugging - If you do not know what is that and how to do it, you should probably STOP right here.
2) Download and extract: Unlock 6_ZX551ML.ZIP
3) From the extracted folder run unlock.bat (This will restart your phone into fastboot mode, downgrade the bootloader and unlock it)
4) When step 3 is completed, you need to run restore.bat
If everything went on correctly your boot screen should be inverted (white background, black Asus text). This was the most risky part. I only have my phone and it worked, but if something goes wrong here you might end up bricking your phone, so please take extreme care, always read the messages on the screen!!!!!
Custom Recovery:
1) Now to get a custom recovery, please download TWRP-3.0.2-M1-Z00A.img.
2) Put your phone into bootloader mode, if your phone is currently in use, just use the following commands:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Alternatively you can power off the phone, remove the USB cable. Power it back on while holding the volume up button.
3) once your phone if in bootloader mode please use the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP-3.0.2-M1-Z00A.img
4) Use the vol up & down to select "RECOVERY"
5) Use the power button (short press) to reboot to TWRP
ROOTING
1) Download BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328-patch-by-shakalaca-for-zenfone2-6.0_(1).zip
2) In recovery select Advanced -> Sideload
3) From your computer use the following commands:
Code:
adb sideload "BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328-patch-by-shakalaca-for-zenfone2-6.0_(1).zip"
4) Once it's completed installing, restart the phone to system
FLASHABLE STOCK ROM
If you have TWRP installed and you want to flash the latest stock ROM, you will need to, make sure you un-root your phone from the supersu app, reboot to recovery and sideload the zip. You can also copy the zip to your phone and install it from twrp. When installing the stock rom, your bootloader will be locked again, so you will need to unlock it (if you wish), also you will need to root again, because the root is lost. However the modified stock rom will NOT remove the custom recovery giving you freedom to flash whatever you like in the future...
XPOSED
Xposed on our device won't work if we have SuperSu installed. If you want to use Xposed modules you will need to use PHH's SuperUser instead. All files required for Xposed/Magisk/Phh's SuperUser are available in the Xposed folder.
Available modified stock rom versions:
UL-Z00A-WW-4.21.40.141-user-TWRP.zip - Updated: 2016-Oct-07
UL-Z00A-WW-4.21.40.197-user-TWRP.zip - Updated: 2016-Dec-16
Files can be downloaded from: here
Again, please proceed on your own risk.
Special tanks and credits to all the guys who made this possible, namely:
@sorg @social-design-concepts @shakalaca - For bootloader unlock
@jrior001 for the TWRP
@shakalaca - For the modified SuperSU package.

Yes I'm using Magisk, but even with it I wasn't able to use Google Pay. To get back to non inverted, you will need to flash the locked bootloader.

While essentially true the user can always use a different boot animation by flashing one via twrp. There might even be one somewhere of the unmodified asus screen.
Can anyone confirm the flashable Rom mentioned in Post #1 is MM 6.0.1? I ask because my phone upgraded itself right after I booted it up and I wondered if it was on a newer version than the downloadable one. Pretty sure the update was only security updates given it was only around 80mb.
The actuall boot screen is only a couple of seconds long while the boot animation shown

Well as usual the linux users drew the short straw. The shell script is for mac users. I decided to see about running the lines manually but never even reached the "danger zone". As soon as I did an "adb reboot bootloader" I followed up with "sudo fastboot devices" (some linux distro's need sudo..some don't)....and nothing shows up although I can clearly see the device is hooked up and in fastboot mode as well as the fact the adb reboot bootloader worked. I swap out one of my other devices and check things...they show up fine in fastboot....ok...so what's missing from this picture?
*update* solved by updating the ubuntu adb and fastboot binaries from here: https://github.com/simmac/minimal_adb_fastboot/tree/master/linux
*update2* bootloader unlocked, supersu flashed and verified. Much appreciated.
I ran the bootloader unlock and it appeared to work. Now it keeps booting back into the bootloader. I can't seem to get it to boot normal. Suggestions?
Nevermind, I didn't realize that I needed to run restore.bat while still in the bootloader. It is booting now! I was able to follow your guide and it is now rooted.
Regarding the marshmallow zip you include. I have a couple questions.
- For the modified stock version that will keep the recovery do I just need to flash it from recovery?
- Do I need to unroot before flashing this modified stock marshmallow?
Thanks!

Regarding the zip, yes flash from recovery and you don't need to unroot before, but you will need to root after flashing.
However I do suggest you make a backup before flashing jsut in case....

I'm assuming the file is just for folks who are on lollipop who want to upgrade? Didn't see any need to flash it since already on 6.0.1 and have it rooted...unless I'm missing something again.
I read this after I went to 6.0.1 from Asus's manual download and update process. I can't get ADB to connect in the OS (developer mode never displays, even though it tells me I'm a developer after doing kernel ver. button process). I tried to get adb devices -l in fastboot and recovery, and it wont discover it. I've tried multiple windows drivers (including the one that worked when I flashed the firmware the first time) to no avail. Any ideas?

If windows doesn't see the phone when in recovery there is something wrong, this can be:
1) Wrong driver
2) Damaged USB cable
3) Damaged USB port.
When you are in recovery you should see the phone with adbm if you are in fastboot you should see the phone with:
Code:
fastboot devices
If nothing works you have the nuclear option.
Manually download the original firmware from Asus website: https://www.asus.com/support/Download/39/1/0/26/BXbNqJplzZiLmk6G/32/
copy the zip to an Sd card.
1) Now Turn Off your phone and boot into recovery mode by pressing Power+Volume UP.
2) Now in recovery mode choose to apply update from sdcard.
3) Now select the zip file.
4) Now wait until the process complete and then Reboot the phone.
5) Done!

More or less true, but somehow I was on a 6.0.1 version which is now gone from the firmware list of Zenfone, meaning I have updated from 6.0.1 to 6.0.1
Again now I see there is a new firmware released yesterday if I have the time I will patch that system image as well so it can be upgraded with TWRP.

I'm actually enjoying mobile managers auto startup managing...it's done a good job of keeping 10000 things from running at startup that don't need to although "Startup Manager" would do a similar job for free. I'm liking the zenui launcher and calling screen so don't want to break anything related to that...the phone's been performing exceptionally well for days on end with no required reboots. Been very impressed. Previously been fighting with a T-mobile V10 and an Alcatel Idol 3...the v10 had spontaneous reboots...the idol had a stock rom with a bunch of lag in it....tiny to nothing development on both of those.
What about Zentalk, ZenChoice, PhotoCollage, MyAsus Service center, Clean Master, Audiowizard and Bug Reporter?

And the camera, I think it's brilliant, not the best on the market, but the optical zoom is cool, as well as the camera app which allows you to do some nice manual shooting.

Well from the lack of posts it appears you and I ARE the zenfone zoom community. Any idea where the system updates get stored after downloading? I thought in /cache based on regular zenfone posts but was unable to see it. I've got one available but it has to be modified for twrp compatibility as well as unrooting temporarily.
Official updates for our M2 tablet,
although having installed another
recovery and root access, already.
- Disclaimer
Well, whatever you do with this guide is all up to you and in your own responsibility. You
should have basic knowledge about ADB and flashing, which is explained in many other
threads here on our beloved XDA.
- Issue
When you used this guide (https://goo.gl/r04XjJ) or any other one to give your M2 tablet
another recovery and therefore root rights, you have now the problem, that EMUI will show
you new updates, but you are not able to install them, because of the missing stock recovery,
of course.
- Solution
So, you have to flash back the original stock recovery, getting the official update and then you
can flash back your TWRP recovery.
- Guide
1. You should start your EMUI update programme/app and start the download of your update.
When it is finished, it will ask you to reboot into recovery and install automatically. As you have
no stock recovery I strongly advise not to do so. Usually nothing happens, but there is one case
reported, where it somehow ****ed up the guy's tablet. I am not sure, if that story is true, but
well, I have warned you.
2. Just turn your tablet off after you have finished downloading the update (it will wait now in
the directory "HwOUC" on your tablet and it is called "update.zip" - just let it sleep there).
3. Start the tablet in the fastboot recovery mode, meaning plugging in the USB cable (connected
to the computer) and hold the buttons "power" and "volume down", immediately, until a white
screen appears, which is the fastboot recovery screen. It should tell you, it has the bootloader
unlocked, which is normal, because you did that earlier on with any of the other guides (see above).
4. Copy the downloaded stock recovery of your choice to your ADB directory. In my case this is
"c:\ADB", but this depends on your way of installation.
5. Now open up a command line in Windows (with Windows key + R) and type "cmd") and go to
your ADB directory, using commands like "cd .." and "cd adb".
6. When having arrived in the ADB directory, you have to enter these commands one after the other:
fastboot flash recovery stock-recovery.img
fastboot reboot
If you renamed the recovery file, then you have to consider that in the command, of course.
7. The device will reboot directly into the recovery, because it "sees" the update in the update
directory et voila ... you are getting your awaited update. Sometimes it will boot not into the EMUI
recovery directly, but then you hast have to start the tablet normally, open up the EMUI app and
download the update again and do the OTA update properly with the reboot it tells you to do,
when it is finished.
8. Okay, now you have received your update, but if you want to have back your TWRP, you just
have to turn off your tablet and boot into the fastboot recovery again (see 3.).
9. You have to copy your TWRP recovery to your ADB directory (in my case "twrp.img" in "c:\ADB").
10. Now open up a command line in Windows (with Windows key + R and type "cmd") and go to
your ADB directory, using commands like "cd .." and "cd adb".
11. When having arrived in the ADB directory, you have to enter these commands one after the other:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot
12. The tablet will reboot and you are back to a working lovely updated M2 tablet.
- Root:
If you want to have root rights, I strongly recommend flashing Magisk within TWRP, because it is
just a nice and more modern approach to having root. It works very fine on my M2 10 tablet. The
link for the files and guide is here:
https://goo.gl/UXYk4d
It is very easy. You just flash Magisk 12 in TWRP and then install the Magisk Manager app from the
Play store.
- Files for M2-802L and M2-A01L:

https://files.fm/u/aajdmadr (all four recoveries here)

Have fun with your updated tablet. ... and I am happy, if I could help you - any coffee appreciated.

Additionally, I can offer you the updates B007 and B010 (most current one) for the
M2 10 LTE (M2-A01L), because I managed to save them/back them up. These are the
European versions of B007 and B010 with all language files, I believe.
So, who is having a M2-A01L and is still sitting on B006 or B007, might try a manual
update, which is as easy as pie. It is just one simple step.
Also, an update from B009 to B010 might be possible.
Of course, I cannot give any guarantee for Huawei's update files, which you will
understand, I guess.

I'd greatly appreciate it, if you could share. Got the problem that my A-01L got corrupted. The only official ROM I've been able to find has been B005 what is somewhat old. As it seems to be a pre-release version the tablet doesn't find any updates. Thus I'd like to try to upgrade to B007, or even B010 manually when I'm back home. Currently I'm on a weekend trip as friends of mine are going to marry tomorrow. Thus I'd be able to download them on Sunday evening if you'd provide them.

I have Magisk running on several devices, including the M2-A01L, but I must admit,
I never got the Safetynet passed, even with Magisk hide enabled.
I just use it as systemless root and with systemless Xposed, which is great.

After enabling magisk hide, you have to reboot your device. Got the 801L working with that and safetynet passes.
Noob Question on recovery files
Hi, and thanks for a incredible well detailed guide for updating. Came here because I haven't found any good recovery files for the wifi model. I've been trying (unsuccessfully may I add...) to install TWRP and magisk. So, my question is: can the recovery files for the LTE model be used on the wifi model? (M2-A01w). Thanks for your help!

Sorry, I have been on vacation.
To be honest, I am not sure, if the recovery for M2-A01L works on M2-A01w, too, but you can just try it.
I think, there should not be that big a problem, because the recovery has nothing to do with Wi-Fi or LTE, at all. It is just important, that partition tables and drives are accessible the same way and well, I really think, there is not much difference in between the M2 10 models.
From M2 8 to 10 there is a difference, of course. That is why I uploaded both recoveries (for 802L and A01L).
Just use that guide (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m2/how-to/guide-unlock-bootlader-twrp-root-huawei-t3322340) without the SuperSU flashing and my recoveries in this guide.
Hi guys,
I need help, I have a M2 10 LTE previously modded with TWRP for root and I've just followed this guide to update from 007 to 010 version.
So I've flashed the stock-recovery, rebooted the tablet, requested the firmware update (I don't know if I got any error during the process) and the tablet has rebooted. Now it's stuck on HUAWEI logo..
I use this tablet for work so I really need to recover it asap.
Please help.

Could upload the B010 fullstock ROM/firmware. Thus you could reset the device to the latest stock ROM using the /dload method and gain a factory rested Huawei, as if out of the box. Just quote me if you'd want me to upload and I'll share the link asap. Took that way myself as soon as I found the full stock ROM.

Hello everyone!
I have a problem with my Samsung s4 mini LTE version, i was installing LineageOS 14.1 on it, but when i flash GApps 7.1 Aroma, the phone boots and a popup pops up and says "Setup wizard has stopped"! I have read on other threads that you need to pull down the notification panel to get into the settings, but the problem is, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO PULL DOWN THE NOTFICATION PANEL!
I have tried to flash it all over again and again and again, but it dosen't help :crying:
If someone have a solution for this, I would be so happy to hear what is is
PS. Sorry for my bad English it isn't my primary language...

Your best bet is to post this question within the following Official LineageOS thread for your device.

This may help or may not, but it could be one possible cause:
Did you boot lineageOS once before flashing gapps?
AFAIR for gapps to work properly, it needs to be flashed right after flashing a custom rom, without starting the custom rom in-between.
Or put another way, when the phone starts up normally for the first time, gapps already needs to be installed. otherwise it can't run its setup wizard correctly.
also, a common problem for crashes like this is missing permissions for system apps. And i think the setup wizard not running correctly on first boot can cause some. (note that lineageOS also has a setup wizard. not sure how they're chained today)
note that i'm intentionally fuzzy on the details. It is what I vaguely remember, and I'm just writing this as some help may be better than none.
I had this same problem but with a different device. Followed the directions to a T, but still no go. Also tried the 'pull down notifications' supposed 'fix', while I guess that worked for some, didn't work for me (and you) either.
Here's what did work: And yes, it goes against the directions (but I tried it anyway), **don't** install gapps before booting the new rom, install after booting and doing as minimal set up as you can.
I'm not certain why this worked for me, but it seems to be because of the 2 diff 'set up' wizards, and the way they communicate to ea other and other apps. If you look in the bug logs (for both Los and Gapps), this problem goes way back, with numerous fix attempts.
It worked for me to install them separately, I suppose it might for you also. Good Luck.

Hi, I have flashed roms on sony devices a long time back. However, I have not been in touch with the process and would like to know if this method works fine on Oneplus 7T HD1900.
The flashing process from the PC seems a bit risky. I remember being able to copy the rom to the device memory and flashing from the recovery menu. Has anyone tried this?

Hi, hope you are having a great day and everything is alright. Sorry for the late reply, but as far as I know this is the only method to install custom rom onto the OnePlus 7t HD1900. I have done this already and am infact typing this on the phone with the rom. It is true that flashing recovery image is easier and safer however I am not sure if or when that will be available. I shall keep this thread updated with any news.
Just fixed my softbricked 7T with this topic. Thank you so much.
There was some confusion on video in folder names. I didn´t had such names as said on video but everything went smoothly. Phone is now booted and nicely working.
Great work you´ve done.
Glad that everything went smoothly, could you mention the confusion you had so I can add that in the post to make it more clear?

Are you using the plus edition? I flashed that one but I'm having issues with calls. Other person can't hear me. All they hear is a white noise.

I am using the plus edition. Try flashing the non-plus edition version and checking. It is not a known issue so I shall report it to the maintainers.
