First boot stuck on "Google" screen - 7.1.2 Nougat - Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Newbie to flashing - to my surprise successful first attempt recently with Oreo - lineage-15.1-20200313-UNOFFICIAL-flounder - worked quite well and much perkier than before. Then realised none of my six screen recorders would work, so decided to try downgrading to Nougat - lineage-14.1-20200217-UNOFFICIAL-flounder - but got stuck on the Google screen on first boot.
So tried a few other Nougat ROMs: Slim-flounder, aokp_flounder, purenexus_flounder, Fire-Hound and FIRE-ICE - all getting stuck on Google. I must be doing something wrong. Reflashed Oreo, without problem!
Used the same procedure for all Nougat and Oreo ROMs: twrp-3.3.1-0-flounder to wipe everything, installing the ROM, open_gapps-arm64-7.1-pico-20200325 and SuperSU-v2.82-SR5. (For Oreo I instead used open_gapps-arm64-8.1-pico-20200325). What am I doing wrong?

Install stock Nougat firmware or install stock Nougat vendor. After that, install the firmware you want.

Thank you, will do!

Need more help pls! Downloaded the factory rom - "wrong zip version" when trying to install. Downloaded vendor and bootloader img-files. How install?

Figured it out! Thanks Vartom! Remains to be seen if I can get any screen recorder app to work.

Installed lineage-14.1-20200217-UNOFFICIAL-flounder and tested my usual screen recorders. Mobizen did not work, but all others did: Recordable, SCR, DU Recorder and AZ screen recorder. Am very happy with that and with my "flounder" being much perkier than with Marshmallow.

Bad sound quality (fluencetype). Permanent fix?

Hi,
I am running RR 5.8.3, v. from 23-04-17.
I was forced to set fluencetype for the past few flashes to null or something, because otherwise I did not have sound during calls.
Right now the call quality is unbearably bad. It was not THAT bad on older ROMs, before I had to disable this fluence-thingie.
I want to upgrade the ROM, but what else am I supposed to improve the voice quality? I could not find a decent source.
Factory reset -> VoLTE patch -> RR ROM -> GAPPS?
Anything else? Some people wrote "updade your firmware" - how am I supposed to interpret it? Install MIUI Rom? So, like flash it from TWRP and replace it with RR 2 minutes later? I am alergic to MIUI.
This topic kind of explains it, but links are down and content might be outdated:

Up.
Right now I am stuck on a bootloop with rom's logo. I can access TWRP and flash stuff just fine, but I cannot load the system. Restoring from backup has failed.
I have installed 7.7.7 firmware - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298969813
and booted to the system. It did not recognize my PIN and locked my card. Unlocked it with PUK on another device, but still the same.
Flashed newest RR with GAPPS and reflashed the firmware. Bootlooping begun.
Tried different ROMs, tried a different firmware - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298969055
What should be the "next step"?
I was able to fix it, but man this was my last flash of this device. My next step was to brick the device, had to start from stratch after that. Never had so many different issues... I will rot on current ROM till Pixel 2 arrives.

yet another 'Best ROM' thread...

Hey guys,
Newbie here. I am very excited about my new yet to be received phone - X829 using EUI 5.8.016S (Stable).
I care about call quality, camera quality, sound quality using the CDLA technology headphones (in this order).
I don't consider myself a heavy user - I talk maybe 30 mins per day maximum, light web browsing, no gaming...
Should I stick to the stock rom supplied EUI 5.8.016S or is it worth upgrading to something else? Like, will a custom ROM yield better call quality, camera quality and sound quality than the stock rom?
Thanks!
Andrei
Hi, i am also a X829 user and i would suggest you to try recently released EUI 6.0.030s, which has great battery life and network receiving, of course quite stable.Camera quality is also good.
This one is the same rom modified by CrisBallGreece that includes system adblocker by default and preinstalled magisk manager, removed unnecessary leeco apps and chinese garbage apps.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. How do I get the 'cleaned-up' version installed? Not familiar with either super su or magisk. What is the easiest way to go about doing this? The threads I found make reference to super su but can't download it from the official website. Sorry if this was already addressed in a different thread...
Thanks a lot!

First of all, you should unlock your bootloader and flash twrp (a custom recovery mode, allows you flash rom).
Download rom and gapps then put them to your device, backup your data.Reboot to recovery mode.Press wipe - wipe data, go back and press install - find the rom you copied and flash it.Once the phone booted, go back to recovery and flash gapps in the same way then reboot.That's it.
This is the only way to flash any type of rom.
Btw, magisk is a root manager like the supersu, gives you root access of the system.
Hi,
Thanks for the very informative post. I got my phone yesterday and started to play with it As expected, I had some hard time installing the EUI 6 CBG version. I think it's because I installed a very recent (if not the most recent) version of TWRP...From memory, the one I installed is 3.2.2...Anyhow, EUI seemed to install fine and I got the success message displayed in TWRP along with the note 'phone will reboot in 5 seconds' or something like that - which never happened.
I then installed Lineage OS 15 Oreo because I didn't know how to downgrade TWRP.
So do you think that the problem I had was because of the TWRP version I used? how does one downgrade that?
Also, I installed the Gapps (https://forum.xda-developers.com/le...x-lineageos-15-1-oreo-leeco-le-max-2-t3771577) but Google services gives an error message...'Google stopped working'. Is there a workaround for that?
Thanks!
Andrei
Hi mate,
Right after that " phone will reboot ..." note, you should have rebooted the device by pressing and holding the power button for 8-9 secs and it would be fine.
No, latest twrp version works fine and is compatible with this firmware.
Hmm, you can try to delete the app data of google play services.Have you flashed the los 15 with full wipe ?
Btw los 15 is not mature enough.It still has some battery consumption problems and the battery life lasts not as long as EUI's. + I don't know if it has CDLA sound mod but it doesn't contain dolby digital sound.
Hi,
I believe I did a full wipe (dalvik, cache, system, data).
I will try again to flash EUI 6 by CBG tonight.
The workaround for gapps was to flash them at the same time with LOS 15. Previously I flashed LOS 15, rebooted into the system, went back to recovery twrp and then flashed the gapps.
Thanks!
Yeah, flashing the gapps with rom in a row is not a workaround, its a must-to-do.Unfortunately i forgot to mention this to you.Apologises..
Great, thanks a lot! it worked. I'm getting used to it right now. Will play with this ROM for a couple of weeks and then try something else...I was thinking SLIM7...any thoughts on it? have you tried it? any red flags?
Thanks!
I am also thinking to move that rom, but later.Well its the final version so no bugs.But i don't know if it supports cdla sound mod, do you know ?

Not sure if it supports CDLA...I tried this rom briefly the other day and I had a hard time with the camera...battery seemed to deplete quite fast, but I'm sure it can improved with different settings, greenify, etc...try it and let me know if you like it.
Which other roms have you tried?
Thanks!
Most non-eui roms will have slightly worse battery life making greenify an absolute must.
But if you want a non-eui rom (like me, I just hate eui) I recommend lineage 15.1 or du12 by infrag(my current rom).
Hi man, after a long time, I had a change to try different rom, named mokee 7.1.2 (nougat).Well, it's not bad, performance is excellent, not a single lag at all. Also the battery backup is good, not perfect as EUI but acceptable.
Pros of this rom are, it's being updated in a nightly period and Android security patch is dated as august 5 2018 !
You may check it out if you are interested..
Regards.
I am also on DU12 thinking to try 1 of Android P roms, is it time or to wait ?

Fully working ROM's w/Nougat or Oreo?

Hello,
I have searched this and other forums for a fully working ROM for the SM-N900V with either Nougat or Oreo. I have tried them all; RR Oreo, Lineage 14.1 and Lineage 15.1. They all seem awesome, but none of them are fully functional. EIther you can't get network or Google Play services working properly, in spite of the myriad fixes posted. Does anyone know of a working ROM I can download to my SM-N900V? Thank you in advance.
I can't even get 14.1 to install on mine. I've unlocked the bootloader and everything. It just gets stuck on an eternal install loop.

Make sure you have correct version of twrp

What ROM to use?

I wanted to root my phone but deleted the original stock Rom. I searched the Internet for a stock ROM but could not find one so I just use a custom one.
I tried to Flash "Unofficial LineageOS 16.0" to my phone but It kepps stuck on a bootloop.
After that I found "Rom Ressurection Remix" and I did Flash it on my phone and it worked.. kinda… The camera didnt work so I read the thread and found that flashing lineageos 15.1 first and then RRR would work so I did this.
Now the phone works but what doesnt work:
Still no camera
Flashlight doesnt work
Youtube shows only black video boxes
No timer? (Maybe not in this rom)
Sometimes the keyboard gets stuck for a moment
Screen rotation doesnt work
So now I want to now which ROM can I try? I only want to have a rooted phone and Android Version 8+. (h850)

Is encryption supposed to work on Q ROMs?

Hey all. I've been on stock PIE (using H930 converted to US998) for a while and decided to upgrade to Q. I've managed to get nearly everything working except for Encryption which is a must have for me. I've tried it on Lineage 17 and it's derivatives, Havoc, Pixel Experience, Stag OS and other AOSP based ones as well but haven't been successful on any of these. What happens (in all cases) is that the phone restarts and just sits on the boot screen (the one with LG V30 ThinQ) and nothing happens. When I then hard reboot the phone, it says the phone is encrypted but then TWRP isn't able to de-crypt it. I'm using TWRP 3.3.1-2
Can anyone help me with this? Weird thing is it had worked on Stag OS the first time I upgraded from PIE to Stag but it hasn't worked since. I did use the WiFi fix from here so not sure if that has got anything to do with this?
No
