Uninstalling Multirom. - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is more a curiosity question. So from what I understand, installing multirom doesn't physically alter the partitions right? So in theory, flashing a stock image on my Nexus that has multirom installed will work without problems and remove every trace of multirom? Or is it absolutely vital that the uninstaller zip gets flashed first?

That's a screenshot of a secondary rom, using mr.. Creates a "partition" in data/media/0/multirom/
Can't flash stock system.img to secondary slot, but I'm sure primary is good as long as you have a kexec patched kernel (on primary rom).

Yea it creates a folder on the userdata that it mounts, but since it's a folder and not an actual partition, would formatting the userdata with fastboot and installing a stock image with fastboot overwrite it without errors?

Yes. Formatting userdata will wipe multirom as its mounted on data/media/0/multirom.
Just a elongated root path to your sdcard.

Another quick question dude, you might know the answer. When you flash the multirom uninstaller zip, does it remove your kernel too? What does it remove? Would I have to reflash a kernel to the device right after the uninstaller zip?

It only removes the patch. Open the zip and read the script, it'll tell you exactly what it's going to do.

Going into settings>apps >all then force stop "Google Services Framework" and clear data then exit settings go back to system update and check again should repull it
you need stock recovery or disable signature verification in CWM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775746
Thanks, after a little digging, I was able to figure our how to disable signature verification in CWM & locate the update .zip file in the /cache folder. I copied the update file into my /sdcard/download folder then rebooted into recovery & flashed the update. All updated now.

You guys broke the internet. All joking aside, thanks for the new thread. Can we please just post common questions once? The OTA guesstimate thread has people asking the same questions over and over again. You need a custom recovery! CWM is what I used.

Download the new recovery image from http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager/ and flash it on your phone using fastboot: "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.0.7-crespo.img".
As per error... mirrors are up and well didn't think it would be that popular LOL.

Sony z1 Recovery Problem

Hey guys I got some strange problems right now.
I am on rooted 108 firmware and I got NDR Recovery installed.
If I boot my device flash does not light at all and if I press volume up I get many vibrations but it does not go to recovery.
I also cant copy files to /system via root explorer.

Get a backup of your phone and unroot it and lock BL, and flash it by flash tools including wipe apps log and cache and system

Just download latest recovery installer and install it using PC.
Restart device and if it doesn't go to recovery (first time after reboot it should go to recovery to test
all)...
Install NDR utils from market and try to restart to recovery from there...

EDIT: Reflashed NUT dual recovery and still nothing..
I use stock kernel + 108

[MOD][FLASHABLE] Nexus 6 extended power menu (no reboot options)

I made a simple extended power menu without reboot options, because stock rom is odexed. Maybe it will be useful for someone.
Flash it using TWRP or other custom recovery
Make a backup of /system/framework/framework-res.apk in order to restore it when something goes wrong. I recommend to create flashable zip to restore framework-res.apk. Just replace it with the modified one from my zip and place in root of sdcard0. Then flash backup via custom recovery.

It is currently impossible to do that for a stock ROM set up because the files needed (android.policy.jar at least in previous versions of android) is odexed. While it is true that we can successfully deodex them, we cannot yet re odex them so they can live peacefully within the framework.

Where does the .odex for android.policy.jar live? I don't see it in framework/arm folder.

In yet another way that things have been obfuscated, the Dex files from several framework files have been merged in this this boot.oat file.

Update will fail if you are rooted.
it will fail if your system files have changed at all. that means if you get an ota while rooted, it will fail 100% of the time.

If you put in different sim than device was flashed too it probably trying to update to correct version. ie:T-Mobile or Project FI.
I have a tmo sim In there.. I purchased from amazon, that's probably what it is.. I guess I need to restore to stock, update, then root it again.

Not quite sure how to fast boot an Image. But I'll search for it. I. Guessing that I need to use the nexus toolkit for that, not twrp.
