Yesterday I recieved my phone and I unlocked the bootloader as well as rooted using CF. Today I tried to flash the OTA LRX21O (I'm on LNX07M) in TWRP but I'm getting the error "Package expects build fingerprint of google/shamu/shamu:5.0/LNX07M/1543455: user/release-keys or google/shamu/shamu : 5.0/LRX210/1570415 : user/release-keys; this device has Android/aosp_shamu/shamu:5.0LRX21M/dees_troy11191312:userdebug/test-keys"
What the heck does this mean? I also tried flashing back to stock recovery but it just ended up with an android image with "error" below it. I'm assuming it ran into the same problem. Do I need to wipe and start all over??

You can't install the OTA if you rooted. You'll probably need to just install the factory images via fastboot.

I thought you could always just flash them manually? When did this change? No point in rooting if I'm going to stay stock, it seems.

5.0 essentially makes it break OTA when you root/modify anything. This has been known for a bit now (which is why I downloaded the update before I did any rooting/unlocking on my device).

not really - you can just flash the "old" stock system image file and then install the update (or just flash the "new" system file)

It should be the same as the "back to stock" process
Download new (or old) factory images
Unzip and extract the IMG files
Take nandroid backup on phone
Reboot to recovery
Connect to PC (assuming drivers are installed)
Use fastboot to flash the necessary images
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot erase cache
Edit - flash the cache.img instead of just erasing cache
I had trouble flashing the factory image initially. I kept getting an error so I used this method and it worked perfectly. Hope it helps. http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/how-fix-er...roid-5-0-factory-images-nexus-devices-1474865
So i am root and have done a bit of work on my Nexus 6 (changing system sounds, setting it up and a few other things) If i want to install LRX21O, what is the step by step to do that and after i install it if i do a Nandroid Backup, can i restore the backup on LRX21O? I am currently on LNX07M.
I am curious as well. Also do you happen to have a link to the file to just update.?
EDIT... Found it. Will flash when home

You don't reboot into recovery if you are using fas boot. You boot into boot loader at least that's how I've done it on every Nexus that I've had.

You can use both commands to first format, then flash the new one it doesn't really matter. I've used both methods

Hey guys
My N6 received the OTA update 2 days ago, I live in Australia and my device is rooted. I have downloaded the update then tried to restart and install for the first attempt, and off course it fails because am rooted. I have flashed the stock recovery.img and redownloaded it again, another failure. I have downloaded the OTA for the 3rd time and went to cache folder and took the "update.zip", then tried to flash it using TWRP and it failed. I have also tried the adb sideload and also failed. Below there is the pictures for the sideload procedure. What is puzzling me is that my phone build is "LMY47I" and what I receive is "LMY47Z" , so how can I apply this "update.zip" without wiping my system, I am already running on the stock image but it's rooted. I hope someone can help me out here, thanks everyone.:good::good:
I'm not sure you can be rooted on lollipop to take updates. That could be the problem. Try unrooting.
flash your current versions stock system.img. Lollipop updates don't patch files like the older updates, it does block level patching of the /system so you can't have any changes or the update will fail. On previous versions you could add files to /system and an update would patch the stock /system files and not care you had added other files. Now they patch at the block level so you can't add/delete files, you have to have a 100% untouched /system to take an update.
Download the factory image of what your phone is currently running. Fastboot flash the system.img and then take the OTA. You can then root after updated.
You could also just download the LMY47Z factory image and flash the bootloader, boot.img and system.img and be good to go (root again after). As long as you don't flash the userdata.img or wipe data you retain all your settings/apps/files.

To "restore" your system to stock, you just need to flash the system.img and recovery.img to take the OTA. To "update" your system to the next version with factory images you would flash bootloader, restart the bootloader, flash the radio, restart the bootloader then flash boot.img and system.img and then reboot the phone. Re-root after.
All Done
Thanks to everyone, all done now, and special thanks to "tcrews" all sorted out now mate, I used fastboot to flash 5.1 (recovery, bootloader, boot and system) then did the same thing for the 5.1.1. I didn't lose any data or apps all working perfectly fine. I had to "Root" the device after, then flashed the "Xposed Firmware". :good: :good:
Yes, thanks as well! I had this issue when the OTA showed up on my Nexus 6 yesterday. Did what vampire_8_7 indicated above, and everything is working with no loss of data or apps. Thanks everyone!
Hi Guys,
very sorry to bump this thread, but i've been trying for 2 days now to follow your instructions to update to 5.1.1 and its failing.
i have a rooted 5.1 using TeamWin software and custom ROM (LMY47D)
can i get a step by step on how to flash the 5.1.1 OTA ?
i tried to reflash 5.1 stock and it failed as well, no idea if i'm doing something wrong.
thanks in advance.

You cannot flash the OTA. You can only flash stock. I also have no idea if you're doing something wrong. Probably though, that is usually the case.

- Fastboot erase system
- Fastboot flash system system.img
- Fastboot flash boot boot.img if you have a custom kernel
- Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img if you have a custom recovery
- Fastboot erase cache and then fastboot flash cache cache.img.
Reboot and sideload the OTA and that should do it because you still have have modified system files on your phone.

Hey mate
The idea is to go complete stock before you flash any OTA, and this can be achieved by just flashing the "System.img" and the "bootloader.img" file to you device.
DON'T FORGET TO TAKE A FULL BACKUP Note: This warning above is more precaution thing, and this method never wiped any data but its good to have the backup always.
You need to download the official stock image for your device, if you have that's fine keep reading through.
Factory Images
You have to extract the image and get the "system.img" and "bootloader.img"
Copy and Paste the "System.img" and "bootloader.img" files in the fastboot folder.
Open the cmd as admin navigate to the directory where the fastboot resides, then start typing these commands.
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-XXXX.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now you have to copy (Boot.img , bootloader.img, system.img and the radio.img) from the OTA image you have and paste it in the fastboot folder, then you will run the previous 2 commands in addition to these 2 commands below.
fastboot flash radio radio-XXX-XXX.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After performing this you should have 5.1.1 on your device without wiping any of your personal data or apps.

Thanks a million for the step by step. i think my stock 5.1 is the issue. i'll download the factory image and try again now.
cheers,
EDIT: just finished, and it seems my old 5.1 image was crap. i downloaded a new factory image and did what you mentioned above. now running 5.1.1 and all my old data is there. thanks again, appreciate your time.

No Problems bro. Happy to hear that it worked. XDA is always the place where you can get help
another update for those using TWRP.
TWRP recovery 2.8.7.0 cannot decrypt data for recovery mode, and the 5.1.1 udpate comes encrypted. only way to decrypt is to factory wipe if your device is encrypted and the patternlock/pin doesnt work.
TWRP released 2.8.7.1 yesterday that fixes this issue. this saved me from factory wipe and starting from scratch. also no data needed to be wiped.
^^ just in case anyone is running into the same issue.

I always place these img`s in the /android/sdk/platform-tools/ folder, or extract them and right-click/shift copy to path. Then with cmd in fastboot erase system then flash system system.img and fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. Dowloadlink below in my signature Phantasmagoria and extract the downloaded file until you see the img`s.

Out of curiosity, why do you erase system first?
OK people, so i bring another (hopefuly helpful to someone) exprecience with BOOTLOOP.
Problem: I had stock B200 firmware (5.0.2). I wanted to try beta update of marshmallow, so i decided to try it. It was told me i can update directly from B200 one, so i just copied update.zip to DLOAD folder, went to settings and run local update. The phone restarted, booted into recovery and started flashing. BUT, i forgot that i had custom TWRP recovery and not stock one, anyway, TWRP started flashing the zip, error after error, but some files still copied and bricked the phone. I couldnt start any recovery, just fastboot and some mode that should download online file and reflash system, but it would be very easy so it has error too.
Here is what i did:
1. Download the update zip of marshmallow you were trying to flash and unpack UPDATE.APP
2. Extrac: RECOVERY.img and BOOT.img
3. set phone to fastboot mode and flash extracted BOOT.img, then RECOVERY.img
4. after that, you need somehow copy whole B200 firmware into sdcard / dload folder (i took micro sd and inserted into another phone, then copied it)
5. now you can boot into force flashing mode (power + volume up + volume down buttons) and it automaticaly reflash whole system.
6. after reboot you can use your P8

I had restored stock system.img, boot.img and recovery.img after wiping the phone with TWRP recovery. But still my phone is not working properly and some traces are still left in my phone. What things do it don't wipes please tell me and share stock version of those things.
I used advanced wipe and selected all options in TWRP.
Also pls tell me how to flash, if it can't be flashed with flash tool.
For information, I didn't made any changes to kernal, so it doesn't need to be restored.
Which file are you using to flash the phone to stock ?

I had restored stock system.img, boot.img and recovery.img after wiping the phone with TWRP recovery. But still my phone is not working properly and some traces are still left in my phone. What things do it don't wipes please tell me and share stock version of those things.
I used advanced wipe and selected all options in TWRP.
Also pls tell me how to flash, if it can't be flashed with flash tool.
For information, I didn't made any changes to kernal, so it doesn't need to be restored.

Yes I already did that.
Firstly, I selected agent, then scatter file, and finally the boot, recovery and system imgs.
Obviously, then I clicked on download with 'download only' selected and connected the phone.
Go for format download

Try doing format and download instead of download only ... maybe this will work ...
Else your process is all right ...
Or try downloading the flash file once again ...

Flash stock with sp flash tool you need to flash the whole firmware
I was rooted through Magisk on firmware .255, but I saw an approved update for firmware .280 which I wanted, and I also wanted to go back to stock for a while. I downloaded the update.zip, extracted the .img needed and flashed accordingly; cust, erecovery, system, cache, kernel, recovery, userdata, etc, all I could.
I now can't get it to boot no matter what I try. I always end up on the screen "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted" and then stuck on "Your device is booting now". I can get into eRecovery and/or flash TWRP.
I've tried the below;
Flashing dload folder on a USB OTG
Flashing update zip in TWRP
Flashing update zip with Huruupdater in TWRP
Flashing through fastboot update (update.app extracted)
Flashing through fastboot update_full_base (update.app extracted)
Going through HiSuite - it sees the recovery but then says "No recovery packages found for your phone"
Wipe data etc.
I did forget to remove fingerprint security before I did this, my bootloader is unlocked and FRP.
Genuinely never bricked a phone before! Any help would be appreciated.
I think it's because I need to flash boot.img but I can't see that when I extract from update.app
Does anyone have one please?
Don't make me buy a pixel tomorrow!

it because there's no boot.img for EMUI 9, it's recovery_ramdis.img and kernel.img did you flash that ?
try to pull recovery_ramdis.img from the Update.app and patch it using latest magisk 19.4 and flash it then try to boot again

Yeah I've flashed those two.
How can I patch it if I can only get into TWRP?

from other phone with magisk installed.
other thing you might want to try is enter stock recovery (not TWRP) and wipe /data and cache from there
just a heads up though,
your way of updating the OS is totally dangerous, you could.messed up partition,
you should use EMUI Flasher instead
I have a guide to fix this in the guides section. Follow it and you'll be fine.
Find somebody that had a p20 pro rooted to send you a backup of their software (with the data partition wiped).
