Can i install pixel 2 baseband (modem/radio) on Nexus 6?

Hey guys.
So i have downloaded Ressurection Remix for Shamu 7.1.2
It just so happens my Baseband is 7.1.1 and i have to update it to 7.1.2 to match my Rom.
I'm saying this because i have some issues with calling, i've seen a video with my exact problem saying its the baseband.
So the problem is.. the LATEST nexus 6 firmware is 7.1.1 (N6F27M, Oct 2017).
For the new 7.1.2 i need 7.1.2 (NJH47F, Aug 2017).
This version appears ONLY on Pixel models firmwares on google dev.
Should i just download the pixel one and install it on my nexus 6?

The hardware of the Pixels are completely different. What you're seeking to do is not possible, and worse, if you could install the radio firmware it could do irrevocable damage to the Nexus 6.

Thanks for your reply.
So what should i do now?

I can't imagine that any radio version would be a problem. They are independent of OS and backwards/forward compatible.
Maybe just try the baseband cache eraser in the flashable radio thread.
Else try booting to safe mode (you will lose your settings) and see if the problems still exist. If it works in safe mode, then there is an app or setting causing the problem.

Well then, i am suspecting its the Viper4Android and dolby.
Safe mode didn't help.
Neither did erasing viper or dolby..
I ended up reflashing once again.. so its fine for now but i haven't installed any mods yet. Just the EXkernel.
Is there any program that can make a Restore Point? so if i'd like to restore, it will revert any changes to the system and also remove the added applications to the restore point date?
Titanium back can sure backup, but i didn't see a restore option.

Yes TiBu can restore. Check the menu.
But that's not what I would do. Assuming you have TWRP recovery installed, just create a backup there. It's referred to as a nandroid. If you're using a stock recovery, then check out FlashFire.
Always test a backup before relying on it.

I sure do have TWRP.
Does the backup on TWRP act as a restore point? or just the same as TitaniumBackup just changing the apps back to what they were without removing all that has been added later on and without reverting system files?

A nandroid creates image files of whichever partitions you have selected to back up. It is basically a snapshot of the partition. So if you backup system, boot (kernel) and data as part of the backup then add a new app or change a system setting, you will be able to restore the backup and return to the state before the changes. You will lose all changes that occurred after the backup.
I strongly suggest you do some in depth reading about backups and practice backing up then restoring before going much further in your custom ROM/kernel journey. The effort you put in now will save you heartache in the future. There is a TWRP thread here on xda. There are loads of threads on xda (for example) geared to help develop a basic understanding of these concepts.
FlashFire is an on device method of making backups (linked in earlier post) and is similar to but not the same as doing it in recovery.

They're not hardware independent however. Each baseband is designed with a particular device in mind, which is why what he wanted to try won't work. It would be like me trying to upgrade my roommate's Moto X Style with the Nexus 6 baseband.
If installing a radio from a completely different device were possible, that would extend the lives of these devices even farther than our developers here are already capable of.

Fair enough clarification, some noob might misread the conversation. But I don't think I even suggested that using a different device's firmware was appropriate. Just that the version was independent of the OS. OP was looking for a 7.1.2 radio and it's just not the issue.

I actually did understand yet the comment could mislead.
Anyways I ended up installing 7.1.1 radio, works great!
Never imagined how much impact the Radio/Modem has on the cell network performance...
I downloaded all 3 latest ones, Oh wow..
One gave me 35-40Mbs download speed with 3Mbs upload, the second one gave me 35-40Mbs download with 10Mbs Upload!
The third one? 5-10Mbs download with.. 1Mbs upload..
All from the exact same spot, about the same time, exact same server, exact same cell tower.

Which one did you use?

I have got mine here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ne...-nexus-6-recovery-flashable-fastboot-t3066052
Flashable in recovery, pretty amazing.
Which one I used doesn't matter because it's very dependent on your own area and cell towers.
So you should download all 3 and test one by one which one gives you the best results.

Nexus 6 running 7.1.1 stock but slowing to a crawl... advice?

Hi
So I'm no tech genius but I have a little bit of familiarity with Nexus Root Toolkit and my Nexus 6 is unlocked.
I have factory reset from the OS and started again but the phone is still way slower than it used to be. On top of that I've never had the nerve to try mucking about with alternative kernels and trying to get rid of the encryption.
But now I feel like I have no option. I want to do whatever I can to keep the phone usable for another year or maybe more and it seems like getting rid of encryption will likely help quite a bit!
Any advice on how to go about this as a a newbie with limited tech knowledge?
Cheers

Quick update.
I found this video "How to Disable Forced Encryption on Rooted Nexus 6!" on Youtube which did a walk-through of using Nexus Root Toolkit to flash the Boot kernel with an img file that unencrypts the Nexus 6.
Problem was my Nexus 6's build is not listed. It's Android 7.1.1 N6F27M
I did a manual search and found a few boot.img files specifically for this build on Android File Host by a developer called bmasephol
Anyway, I downloaded the file from androidfilehost and then manually used the boot.img flash option to select and flash to my phone. It did appear to work but on re-booting the phone stull says it's encrypted under SECURITY.
Any suggestions on how I can either...
a. Get Nexus Root Toolkit to recognise my build or
b. Manually flash the right boot.img file to the phone so that it unencrypts my device?
Thanks for any advice.
P.S. I did think about picking a different boot.img for one of the other recent builds using 7.1.1 listed in Nexus Root Toolkit but I decided that might be adding fuel to the fire. Last thing I want to do is brick my phone!

NRT installs also TWRP-recovery.
You may wipe the data partition and flash (with TWRP-recovery) a ROM with supersu included.
SuperSu patches the stock kernel. No forced encryption.

Thanks for the tip.
As a bit of a newbie can you just walk me through what I have to do with the file?
I have downloaded it to my Windows PC and have the Nexus 6 plugged in to the laptop with NRT. I have also already got TWRP on the recp]overy partitio. Then....? Not sure how/what I do at that point to get the ROM onto the phone and how do I wipe the data partition?
Apologies for the ignorance. At the limit of my knowledge/skills.

To be unencrypted, after flashing a boot.img (also known as a kernel) that does not force encrypt, you must wipe the internal storage. THIS WILL DELETE ALL FILES, MUSIC, VIDEOS WHATEVER STORED ON THE "SD CARD" DO A BACKUP FIRST!
Of course, just wiping internal storage after a factory reset will probably fix the slow down without anything else needing to be done.

Ok so I think I put an unencrypted boot.img on the device already. So wiped the user data with a factory reset and restarted the phone to see if that did the trick...
... Except it bloody didn't!!!
Clearly I'm too thick.
What internal storage do I need to wipe?

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash boot <non forced encrypt boot.img> (suggest using Franco)
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot
Please note; while you probably can do everything through a toolkit, it all happens in the background automatically, so when a problem develops, you don't know enough to resolve it. I don't use toolkits and don't support using them. Fastboot/ADB are not hard and Google had released them as stand alone tools making it easier.

Thanks for the tips. Not 100% confident I know what I'm doing but you never learn if you're not willing to give new things a go!

I should have commented in the previous post, if your device bootloader is unlocked already, you don't need the "fastboot oem unlock" command.
"Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment." - Will Rogers

OK well I tried and sent it into a repeated bootloop between the google startup logo and TWRP... so whatever I did was plainly wrong! Trying to use NRT to at least get it back and running.... I'm clueless as to the steps I'm meant to take... Ho hum.

Does that mean you can not boot into TWRP?
If you can, do a factory reset, get to a known condition.
Then download Franco's kernel. Flash it in twrp. Reboot. Make sure everything works.
Boot to bootloader (fastboot). Connect to your computer. Type:
fastboot devices
It should come back with your device serial number. If it doesn't, there is a problem with your computer drivers.
Type the command:
fastboot format userdata
This will wipe everything on the "SD card". Reboot. You should now be unencrypted.

Need Help

Ok guys I have a weird one. The other day I decided to switch roms. Before I flashed I followed the instructions and did a full wipe from TWRP.. So after wiping I went to install from OTG and I get error 7 or " this rom is for a shamu device". Now before I had decided to change roms I was running a an aosp rom that I found here in this fourm. I had magisk installed and had the Sony modual installed to trick the play store into thinking my N6 was a Sony device so I could install some of thier proteietary apps...I figured a full wipe would have removed that... That it didn't makes me think something in the build prop was changed and No I don't have a back up. I'm super smart about stuff like that.. .anyways now no matter what rom I try to install I get that message...is there a way to flash build prop or is there a different solution or am I Fu**ed ??
Thanks in advance

You could try to change the updater-script.
Extract it from the zip and remove the line with the device check.

Mount system in twrp then userr adb to pull build.prop, edit it and then ADB push to return it.
"Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment." - Will Rogers

I wish I could mount system. However I did a full wipe and there is no system to mount. . Thanks for the reply though. I believe I'm going to try the the other idea where it's suggested that I change the updater script. I mean if I did a full wipe that makes sense set there is no system to mount, right? Thank you to both of you for getting back to me. I do appreciate it

Just doing the default wipe in twrp doesn't wipe system. In the wipe section, you should go into advanced (I think that's right) and check the partitions you want to wipe.
If you did a full wipe, then any chances you made should not have persisted. If you really did already wipe the system and data partitions, it's unlikely your previous modifications are the cause of the error. Double check that you have the right ROM downloaded - though the error makes it sound right.

CPU 100% frequency.

Hello,
I apologize in advance for my English.
I'm using nexus 6, stock 7.1.1 no root, no unlock bootloader ....
The problem is that my cpu2,3 is still running at 100% frequency.
I tried flash, factory reset ... nothing helps.
Before that, I had a root and I played with thermal config so that the kernels did not turn off at 40% of the battery.
I'm running now stock and the kernels behave like this ...
Please help, I'm quite desperate, my battery is gone, my phone is hot.
I discovered that this usually happens when the battery falls to about 35%, the two cores turn off, and when I charge the kernels are connected but the frequency is still 2649mhz.

Do you have an old battery?
You might try resetting the bootloader logs and see if that gives you any relief.
1) Power off your phone
2) Press and simultaneously hold the Power and Volume Down buttons putting the phone in fastboot mode
3) Use the Volume buttons and scroll through the menu until you see "Bootloader logs"
4) Press and hold the power key for 7+ seconds until the phone reboots normally
5) On boot, fully charge the battery
If you see some improvement as a result of those steps, consider replacing the battery.
"Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment." - Will Rogers

Hello,
the battery is one month old.
This bug started after I tried different rom and kernels .... I tried also to change the BCL and wrote in a set of thermal engine.
Now, even after the flash stock rom these things happen, with a load of 0% and a frequency of 2649mhz.
I noticed that we just made stock 7.1.1 when I'm 5.1.1 so I'm going without a mistake.
I apologize for writing English through the translator

It's possible it's still the battery. But I'm not certain what the following means;

Are you still on 5.1.1?
If that is right, then the thing to do is update to the last stock release. The easiest way to do that is probably using ADB sideload with a factory full OTA.
You can also fastboot flash the full factory image (confusing I know, but full factory and full OTA are different).
The instructions on each of those google sites are good. On the second one, where you would be fastboot flashing, the N6 is an older device so when 2 possible commands are suggested, use the one indicated as for older devices.
Also, instead of installing the full Android SDK, you could use Minimal ADB and Fastboot.
This thread should help.
"Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment." - Will Rogers

I tried this procedure about 5x ...
I do not know anymore so I'm writing to you where you have more experience ...
I was on 5.1.1 and flash ota update helped adb on 7.1.1 and so far everything goes well. I will check if the processor does not go all the way to 2649mhz.
As I say it all started by trying out rom, different kernels and editing a set of thermal engine .....
Is it possible that full factory image does not return all files ???
I have a screenshot but I can not send it here because I'm new.

If you did a full return to stock after trying the kernels you mention, all of those changes are gone.
When you flash a kernel, it's the same as the boot image. So when you sideload or fastboot flash the stock ROM, the boot image is returned to stock and your previous changes are gone.
I'm wondering if you had matched the kernels to the ROM version you were running. If you flashed a 7.x kernel on a 5.1.1 ROM, that might cause the trouble you had.
"Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment." - Will Rogers

I did some searching to refresh my memory. It's been a long while since 5.x [emoji6]
If all of your maxed cpu problems occurred while you were running 5.1.1, then I think it's likely a DNS bug that was around back then may have been the root cause of your problems.
If you still experience the cpu problems on 7.1, then it's not likely due to that bug.
"Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment." - Will Rogers

I probably wrote it wrong ....
I used android 7.1.1, no 5.1.1
I installed the lineage os14.1, I changed the thermal engine file so that two cores did not shut down at 40% of the battery.
I also installed the script to turn off the BLC which is here on the forum.
Then I installed the stock 7.1.1 and did the same, it did not work so I installed the Elementalx kernel.
Then I installed the factory image 7.1.1 and you noticed that the 2.3 core is ON 2649mhz! This was done even when the battery was 100%, 80% .....
Nothing helped, factroy reset, installing factory image ... just nothing
Then I installed stock 5.1.1 and everything worked out!
On stock 5.1.1 the processor was driving normally, then I factorydled again factory 7.1.1 and again the CPU kernels went nonstop to 2649mhz.
Now it seems that the processor is running normally, I am in the testing phase 7.1.1.

Just ordered razer phone 2 looking for custom os instructions.

So from what i gathered TWRP doesnt work yet on the razer phone 2 and lineage os doesnt have a build for this phone yet i gotta ask what is available for modding razer and what is the step by step to make that happen. i seen some instructions but other than root there isnt much to do.

TWRP works just fine on this device. It's installed when you fastboot flash arter97 kernel and it works perfect. He just updated it to r10. Good luck!!
Edit: as far as ROMs look around in this forum you'll find a couple of different ones in the same section as arter97 :good:

Right now there really aren't any, although there are a few in development, such as AOSP. I think the initial high price, specialized hardware & relative unpopularity has not helped attract any serious development.
I've noticed that ROM development has decreased significantly in the last few years. I remember the days of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus & the HTC Evo 4G where it seemed as if there was a new ROM released every week. I think its because (a) recent Android operating systems are offering greater customization out of the box, & (b) with the new A/B partitioning scheme, it makes ROM development more difficult.

Cancel your order. Get your money back. This phone while it is awesome at gaming and has a great screen. The OS is ****ty to say the least. I have had more issues with it freezing up. Not wanting to download apps from the play store. Not allowing me to install apps that I have already downloaded on my device. Now it's showing up as the Asus Rog II. This phone is the biggest heaviest piece of **** I've ever had. I promise you if everyone knew the issues this phone has you couldn't give it away free.

Mine showed as in rog 2 the last time I reloaded the OS. It's because it searches for "phone 2" and randomly guesses. No biggie, just fix it in the settings. No issues here from playstore, if you do it's common on every Android phone and fixable by clearing the data from the app. Maybe you should reflash the stock firmware? I don't see why you would call this phone ****ty. It's basically running AOSP stock except some theming from Razer. I fixed some freezing issues by reseating the Sim and SD card that I have. This thing rocks, just saying.

I've cleared the play stores cache, data, and dalvic in every method imaginable. Even google play services. I've restored backups, flashed stock .imgs, and flashed the stock odex Ron and the deodexed rom. It doesn't start failing to install play store apps till after I initially install most the apps I normally use then a while later when I think of one I forgot I'll go and try to install. That's when it starts messing up. If I watch a video threw some websites built in player on the webpage I'm viewing... about 15 to 20 seconds into the video everything but sound freezes. And will not correct itself. I have to hold the power button till it reboots. Only videos I can watch without issue is from the YouTube app. It's ridiculous. I've unlocked, rooted, and crack flashed tons of roms on all of my pixel and Nexus devices without any issue besides the random freeze. Which can be quickly fixed by toggling the screen on and off. This **** is ridiculous. So over this phone.

matt that might be just you i havent experienced any issues with this phone whatsoever.
"I think its because (a) recent Android operating systems are offering greater customization out of the box, & (b) with the new A/B partitioning scheme, it makes ROM development more difficult."

The freezing is due to a bug in Google Chrome. All you have to do to fix this issue is roll back the app version to 72 because version 76 doesn't work on our RP2.
Edit: uncheck auto update

Only freeze I had so far was with the infamous switch switch to the tele lens. Not a single other issue with software.

Other question, if you put the display at 120hz, and you scroll something, does it 'feel' like your finger sticks to text/icons?
I mean, is there no delay like you normally would have at 60hz?
On the Oneplus 7 Pro the 90hz is already a big improvement (less delay) but 120 should really be kickass... anyone?

Take this with a grain of salt, as I just got the RP2, but its the most responsive, "sticky" feeling Android phone I've used. 120hz is like night and day to me.
On a related note, Firefox Fenix with webrender enabled feels significantly more responsive than Chromium atm, as it seemingly renders the whole page instead of stuttering as you scroll like Chrome.

So are you on the global version? If so let it update to MR2 and fastboot flash boot arter97 r12 and you'll be just fine.
Which version are you running then to get stuck on boot logo?
Edit: if you want to stay on MR1 then flash arter97 r11

i tried updating to mr2 but says installation failed.
all i do is
faatboot flash boot kernal.img?

I just rooted MR2 to show you. It took me less than 5 minutes to do the whole process of fastboot flashing kernel booting straight into TWRP recovery which is included then installing magisk immediately rebooting into system and updated magisk. Done

My only question is, which version zip of magisk did you use in TWRP to flash? 20 or the latest beta? I'm rooted now with a modded boot.img that someone else used the canary/latest beta. Just don't want to screw myself and end up having to flash mr1 again then taking the update.
