Please could you post the build.prop. I'm interested in the ro.build.date of the beta.

Also I wasn't able to get this OTA to install via ADB sideload. Failed at
"serving: 'update.zip' (~47℅) * failed to read command: No error
Even after flashing stock system, boot, recovery, and vendor. Just wondering if anyone got it to work I noticed when installing the beta through Google's intended process it seemed to have a three part process and rebooted each step.

Is this ota or full image?
I usually flash full images with flashfire

I got the same error. I was hoping this build would get me out of the bootloop that N4F260 has me stuck in.

OTA. There is a working TWRP flashable zip here.

Thanks but gonna wait for full image to be uploaded by Google on beta site

Try formatting cache and then factory reset in recovery and see if it boots (assume you have locked bootloader). If no boot try and sideload this again. Might work if not try full OTA zip when released good luck hope you get it figured out

Those of you getting errors, did you happen to check the SHA-1 hash of the downloaded OTA file? It should match the file name (E7ADC4A02314908BFDC7A3EEA85214E67B4E8E39). I downloaded it just to check, not going to install myself due to no new features. Weird that Google is going with the SHA1 hash on this as recently Google has been using SHA256.
Also, are you using most recent version of Platform Tools, 25.0.3? https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html

Flash this .zip , need modify updater.script。fastboot lock couldn't flash it
When you sideload ,the script run
package_extract_file("recovery-two-step.img", "/dev/block/platform/soc.0/f9824900.sdhci/by-name/boot");
set_stage("/dev/block/platform/soc.0/f9824900.sdhci/by-name/misc", "2/3");
reboot_now("/dev/block/platform/soc.0/f9824900.sdhci/by-name/misc", "");

But after reboot . it isn't continue. I think because recovery couldn't find zip file.. but it is flashing recovery to boot .

Popped up on my daughter's stock, unrooted N7 about 5 minutes ago. I assume because I'm running a custom ROM with a custom recovery OTAs will be blocked on my N10 (that's how it was on my OG Droid and LTE GNexus).
I might have been excited about this a few months ago but now it's just meh.. I'll just wait for Rascarlo to update RasBean... My tablet is rock solid stable right now.. I'm in no rush to beta test another one of Googles messes.

you should have adb in stock recovery aswell. just boot to stock recovery, make sure that you've configured the drivers and use the above command to install the update via adb
I've never tried that procedure though, but I guess it should work
I'm rooted but with stock recovery. Can I just use OTA root-keeper to temp-unroot, install update and then re-root?

Yes, but don't temp unroot, backup the root and then use backup to root again.
Cheers, looking forward to getting home and having a play.....even if it is only minor fixes.
And thus starts a barrage of soft brick help threads because toolkits make simple tasks stupidly more complicated then they need to be.

heres what i did:
1) download the latest stock factory image from google: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#mantaray (JOP40C)
2) download the ota update JP40C->JOP40D http://android.clients.google.com/p...gned-mantaray-JOP40D-from-JOP40C.07ac4f5d.zip
3) download the ota update JOP40D->JDQ39 http://android.clients.google.com/p...igned-mantaray-JDQ39-from-JOP40D.eaef1443.zip
4) download the latest team win recovery .img file: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/manta
5) reboot into bootloader mode
6) unzip the stock firmware from step 1)
7) open command line window, cd to folder where image-mantaray-jop40c.zip is, type fastboot update image-mantaray-jop40c.zip (add option -w if you want to clear userdata aswell, this will wipe your sdcard)
8) wait for reboot and get back into bootloader
9) open command line window, cd to folder where the team win recovery image file is, type fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-manta.img (filename can be different depending on the version you downloaded)
10) reboot into bootloader, select reboot recovery, open command line window, cd to where ota updates are, type adb push *filename* /sdcard for each ota update (replace *filename* by actual filename)
11) select install in team win recovery, install update from step 2) first, then update from step 3)
reboot.
you might lose all your data including your files stored on your tablet. this is probably the must reliable way to update because everything is set back to stock and then updated. so no customization whatsoever should interfere
heres the result:
Ignore the post by onemandivision previous steps are easier

[Q] Nexus 9 bootloops with every ROM other than stock.

TL;DR: Nexus 9 bootloops with every ROM other than stock.
My Nexus 9 will bootloop whenever any custom ROM is installed on it. I follow the usual steps in TWRP (downloading ROM and Gapps, wiping factory reset, flashing the zips and wipe dalvik/cache) will not get any error during installation and regardless of the ROM, I will get my nexus stuck on Google logo. Then I will have to unroot and install stock again and it'll work.
Ive also tried Wugfresh Nexus Root Toolkit and it won't work either. As long as Im on stock, I can root as well and everything is fine.
Any idea what could be happening? I wanna get rid of the damn lag. Have tried Cyanogenmod, Slimrom6 and Pure Nexus Project. All with their recommended gapps and will always end up with my tablet stuck in the Google logo.
Any help is very appreciated.
Sounds like you are doing everything right..
How long are you waiting for the device to start up ? Is it possible you aren't simply waiting long enough ? I'd give it a good 10 - 20 minutes on 1st boot before deciding it's hung in a boot loop.
I am having the exact same problem. I have tried so many roms that install correctly and then when flashing gapps and rebooting it is stuck on the Google logo. And I left my tablet on for a few hours so its definitely bootlooping.
The only thing that comes to mind is bootloader... If you coming to androind 7.x from android 6.x, you need to flash new bootloader (for example via ADB), otherwise you'll end up in a bootloop.
yup, happening to me too. so, how can i flash the factory image now? thanks.

I assume i need the latest 7.0.0 (NRD91N, Nov 2016) bootloader which is inside the latest build?
Then i will need to go through the process like:
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-flounder-3.48.0.0141.img
Or do i have to do more like described here (Steps 8-9)?
Your help is appreciated, thanks again!
ps: for others who got stuck in the bootloop and don't know how to stop it or turn off the device:
1. reboot into recoverymode in case you have twrp
2. open a terminal
3. type in
Code:
poweroff
an hit enter
Yes, NRD91N
Well , all i did was simple
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-flounder-3.48.0.0141.img
once complete
fastboot reboot-bootloader
That's it
Still not booting...

Thanks for clarifying that. Unfortunately i still can't boot into AOSP_flounder_11-18-2016.zip
which i flashed afterwards. The bootloader is shown correctly though. But when i start the
Nexus 9 the message https://g.co/ABH is shown in red.
Which rom are you running? A CM build or AOSP?
ps: trying with cm-14.1-20161027-UNOFFICIAL-flounder.zip now, but boot seems to hang too and the upper part
of the Nexus 9 is getting really warm. I will leave it for 15 more minutes to wait and see what happens.

Thank you maelfilk, i got i running now.
CM boots properly now - though i cannot configure it. During the Setup process
in the first step of selecting the language it crashes. I am sure this will be fixed
with a later version of CM-14.1.
Does someone know any other source for CM-14.1 for flounder?
Meanwhile i will try AOSP again.
Edit: AOSP boots properly but unfortunately WLAN does not work in the AOSP_flounder_11-18-2016.zip build.
I guess this is why you stick to the 6.x builds maelfilk.

In the archive with bootloader is another archive with vendor and other images. Just flash it in twrp as in the instructions in the link you gave. If you have trouble with wlan or camera it usually means that vendor is outdated.

Nexus 6p DP2 OTA captured

A reddit user captured his link to the DP
Here is the link

Credit: https://m.reddit.com/r/Nexus6P/comments/5edfam/captured_my_ota_url/?compact=true
Flash guide: *should* work
1. Boot twrp on DP1
2. flash SU of choice
3. reboot
4. install FlashFire from play store
5. Select "Flash firmware package"
6. Select the zip
7. Flash it!
**** A FEW DISCLAIMERS
**** TWRP seems to be based on 6.0.1 and the OTA can only be flashed on 7.1.1
**** In this case twrp will NOT flash this OTA file
**** FlashFire IS REQUIRED
**** I am not google. Yes I am sorry that force encrypt wiped your data or you got stuck in
**** a boot loop because you flashed it incorrectly BUT I am NOT google, I am NOT even
**** the person who captured the link for the ota ALL I DID WAS SHARE IT
**** If your data partition got wiped, you got stuck in a boot loop, or the guide didn't work
**** chances are you did something wrong
**** if you would like support but Google up in the DMs
**** I am happy to help just know I won't troubleshoot what you screwed up

If you're rooted, use flash fire from play. It restores twrp and root after updating. Haven't used any other method. No problems. Best app ever.
Just updated. Sound louder, November security patch and overall smoother scrolling.
No regrets getting the 6P. Amazing phone.?
It work fined at my Nexus 6p. All the rooted apps working fine. Thank you very much for your sharing. Appreciated it.
Just curius, has anyone of you guys unencrypted?
I installed it with flashfire but I'm still at DP1... Am I doing something wrong?
I installed it as flash zip or ota but nothing still got the message to update.
Is it because I have installed custom kernel?
Can't flash it in TWRP --> error
edit: I got E3001: the build fingerprint doesn't match. How can I fix this?
I succesfully flashed using Flashfire.
First thing I noticed is the many (repeating) superuser notifications I get for apps getting root during boot.

the same for me... I only have twrp and have modified system... maybe is because of that... but I tought that would not be a problem... guess I'm going the twrp way
hmm, now I get it... this is not a full ota file.
Will I be able to flash it via TWRP like I did with the full OTA file from DP1 ??
^You need the full ota not this type of ota...
So this is the update from DP1 to DP2, correct? Is there any other way to install it besides with Flashfire? I've always installed from my PC, so is there any way to sideload it or install the zip through TWRP?

Should I use flash firmware option instead of flash OTA?
Also there are further options to select like recovery etc. What about them?

I open flashfire, choose Flash ZIP or OTA, choose the file, on the options I don't change anything (it only has Restore boot and recovery images ticked) and then on the main screen I press Flash. Then phone reboots and nothing happens, it enters again on android.

I didn't even try, cause I can enter on twrp fine. As I said, I have twrp and root. My sys is obviously modified. I'm not even trying to sideloaded over bootloader cause it wont work. The same thing on TWRP. I think that sideloading on TWRP only works with full OTAs and not with this one, that is an incremental OTA file, unless I'm completely wrong (I wish).
Anyone's got a changelog for those 26 MB of 'system stability and performance' ?

Download the full Google image- not OTA and flash that. If you can still boot the OS, use FF to flash boot, system, vendor. If you cannot boot OS, use ADB Fastboot to flash those partitions. Yes, I used the full image to go from DP2 to Public Release using FF. If more details are needed, check out the FF thread.

yep, that is what I'm going to do... I guess not even FF can flash an mere incremental OTA (only full OTAs). bad luck

I didn't think flashing a ota over a rooted os, let alone a highly modified os/kernel/etc was a good idea with any utility.

Hello,
I've installed a custom recovery, SuperSU and the xposed framework on my Wileyfox Swift 2 Plus and yesterday I've received an OTA update with wich I was (as expected) unable to update my phone. (it just rebooted to TWRP and did nothing) On their website I was only able to find an older build. I think what I have to do is install the stock recovery(to install the update then switch back to a custom one), but I don't know where to get it from.

Here you go. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1k2IwBoVgfFVVF1UEY3cUVVY28/view?usp=sharing
I grabbed this from cm-13.1.4-ZNH2KAS5RM-marmite-signed-fastboot-c64f8f5d87 - flash it via Fastboot preferably.

Thank you very much, I've installed the stock recovery and also uninstalled xposed framework and SuperSU so the System partition would be clean but when trying to update I get a derpy android with the text: ERROR. Does anyone know how can I fully revert to stock so I can install the update, would a factory reset solve my problem?

You can revert by flashing the system.img via fastboot from the very same zip I mentioned before. You can get it here: http://builds.cyngn.com/factory/marmite/cm-13.1.4-ZNH2KAS5RM-marmite-signed-fastboot-c64f8f5d87.zip

Exactly the same here. I flashed TWRP so I can install SuperSU for root access, now I've flashed back the stock recovery to apply the update and it ends in "Error".
It's also not possible to apply the downloaded zip-package manually (not via TWRP and not via Cyanogen recovery).

It's not an option for me to do a full reset each time they (who ever it might be in the future) release an update.
I bought this phone because I thought it might be easier to update/ get root access compared with e.g. Samsung devices, but in the end I must say Cyanogen OS is really bad and I hope there will be some mods soon, so I can get these bad/restrictive stock-OS off my phone...

I haven't checked myself but linuxct seems to say its an img file. You need to flash img files with fastboot. Have you tried unziping the .zip file and seeing if there are img files (e.g system.img, recovery.img)
If you don't know how to use fastboot here is a good tutorial: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277112
Hope this helps.

You can enable that inside Developer options > Root access. There's no need to either alter your system nor unlock your bootloader if your only concern is root privileges.

Cyanogen is no more, Wileyfox's switching to an AOSP-based ROM through the following OTAs, which will be Android 7.0 Nougat and will start rolling on february. You've more info here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/swift-2/how-to/official-wileyfox-statement-regarding-t3528844

No, I think that is only there in CyanogenMod (the community based custom rom) not in the Cyanogen OS (the proprietary OS for businesses). As far as I know no OEM can release an android phone with Gapps and root. We have an option there called "OEM unlock" which will allow you to unlock your bootloader (from a computer) but nothing else that would grant root out of box.

Just flashing back to the stock recovery does not remove SuperSU. Due to your error I'm assuming you have a non-systemless root. In order to remove SuperSU you must flash http://downloadmirror.co/Uot/UPDATE-unSU.zip (with TWRP), and if that doesn't work I would recommend flashing back to full stock cyngn from: https://cyngn.com/support.
Cheers!

Thank you very much, flashing the system.img with
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
fixed the issue and I was able to update my system to the latest version and since it only changed the system partition, no data (files from internal/external storage) nor apps (not even their data) were deleted. After the update I had to flash TWRP, SuperSU and Xposed again.

Thank you, but unfortunately I've read this hint after trying the unsu method described here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63615067
I've installed the unsu-zip package and flashed the original boot.img via TWRP. It did not help, but since I did this I have another warning message when booting: "The dm-verity is not started in enforcing mode."
In the end I managed to get the update by installing the original zip package again and after this the OTA update worked.
What still remains is the new "dm-verity error message" right after booting....
Does anyone know if there is anywhere I can find the files to manually update to the new AOSP based ROM. Or has Wileyfox not released it?
(Or has anyone captured the PTA link?)
There is currently no new AOSP ROM. I've received only Cyanogen OS update (probably the last one?). According the Wileyfox statement on facebook, the new ROM (Nougat) will be released in the february...

Nah they are releasing an update first to transition to their new rom.

Then later (between February and end of Q1) they will release nougat. Its an easy mistake to make as they aren't too clear about it.
Thanks anyway.
It is unclear what kind of ROM will they release. According the statement it should be bloatware free OS
AOSP, Lineage OS, something else?
I really like cyanogenmod, so I hope there will be Lineage OS ROM in the future...
The new update
Hi, I'm not in the least technologically minded so please don't take the mick when I ask, will the new update delete the cyanogen os? Or is that something I will have to do? If so, what is safe to delete without damaging my phone?
Wow, that was a couple more questions then I had thought!
Thanks all.
Hello,
iam very frustrated by this OTA thing..
I had TWRP and SuperSU installed and i've tried everything but I can't install this OTA -.-" everytime i've tried it it gives me just an "ERROR".
1. I flashed the unSU zip in twrp.
2. I set the switch for stock recovery in developer options.
3 I fastboot flashed the stock recovery.img
4 I fastboot flashed the stock system.img
Then rebooted and did the update it just runs to like 20% and stops and then it shows me "ERROR" ..
Can somebody experienced help me pls This update is annoying I had to block it out of my mobile data use because it would eat up all my mobile data
EDIT: Maybe I have to relock my bootloader?

I don't think it'd be a good idea to mess with the bootloader for now. Also, I uninstalled SuperSU from the app. If you have xposed I suggest you uninstall that too (At least that's what I did). Sorry I can't help more I 'm still a little newby myself.

Sadly, an OEM cannot rely on community-driven software, so it surely won't be CyanogenMod/Lineage. But, that doesn't mean that in the future we wouldn't be able to enjoy it thanks to custom ROM development

Welcome to the community!
This depends on what you understand about 'new update'. If the new update you're talking about is the currently rolling OTA, the one that's getting prompted on every phone right now, no, that won't delete CyanogenOS yet, but prepare the device to upgrade to a CyanogenOS-free Android 7.0 ROM, which will happen in a month or so. You won't have to do anything but let the phone update each and every single time it requests it. Cyanogen itself is not something you can remove as a user, unless you install what's called a custom ROM (this means, a different ROM software than the one provided by Wileyfox), so, you don't need to worry about it but keeping your device up-to-date as soon as it prompts you with an update ^_^

Try relocking like you said, but before, flash everything included in the latest CyanogenOS fasboot image zip (from here). To flash all of them at once, execute each and every of the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash devcfg devcfg.mbn
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash keymaster keymaster.mbn
fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash splash splash.img
fastboot flash tz tz.mbn
Once done, relock your bootloader by doing:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Please note, this probably doesn't fully lock your bootloader, as some propietary DRM keys might've been lost during the unlock process...
Good luck and please, keep us posted!
