Unable to install OTA LRX21O

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.

I've personally had no issues with the first 6.0 build on Windows 10 Pro x64, although only ever tried small files (<300MB)

Ok I made a Nandroid and installed 6.0 afterwards. File transfer worked for me now (don't know why it was so faulty before).....but there is still the thing with TWRP and TItanium Backup folders not showing up in Windows Explorer.
If I have a TWRP and / or Titanium Backup folder saved on my desktop's harddrive and want to move it to the phone's SD card the process fails while telling me that the folder already excists....but I can only see them via the phone's file explorer.
That means it is not impossible to move your backed up files to the SD card, it is just terribly awful. Always switch to MTP everytime you reconnect the phone with USB, then rename and move the backup-folders to the SD card and move their content to the proper backup folders (which you can't see in Windows) via a phone explorer.........who at Google had that great idea?

Any success rooting it? I tried the CF-Autoroot beta and last version of Chainfire's modified kernel, but got "no sim" errors.

You CAN NOT apply an OTA if you have modified the system in any way and/or you're using a different recovery. You can be unlocked. You can not be rooted. You can not apply an OTA via TWRP.

I got the security notification update but I have TWRP installed. I used NRT to Flash stock and unroot so am now down to a standard Nexus 5 with unlocked bootloader. I entered receovery mode and wiped cache for just in case then I tried the OTA install again but get no further than the message rebooting now. After a while it goes back to the restart and install message. Checked system and it shows October update. Any ideas what I can do. Trying to avoid wiping the phone, locking bootloader etc.

Going to show my Noob quals here, which factory image, the security update? if so where would I find that and can I flash using NRT. Not a technology thicko but have only flashed images with NRT to now, did manage TWRP using ADB but that was a trial.

Easiest one is to use the latest MRA58N and then you've got the latest version but if you wanna use the previous one and then apply the OTA (to make sure it works) then you can do that as well. As for flashing it, just manually flash each image in fastboot but leave the userdata.img (as that will wipe your files). I do it in this order...
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
fastboot format cache
fastboot reboot
That should do the job

Apologies for what is probably a dumb question but is there an easy repo of the contents of the OTA updates in flashable zip format?

So does doing this equate almost to a "dirty flash" - i.e. I'm getting all the updates but not wiping any of my data/apps etc off the phone?

anyone a mirror for the 2,5 MB OTA file?

Yes, but with official system files so you should be OK. Worst case scenario, backup data before doing anything in case you have to do a factory reset (e.g. if it shows 16GB on a 32GB device)

Download the factory image of the version you desire to end up on.
Unzip it, then unzip the folder contained in it, then in a terminal/cmd run:
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-shamu-*.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-shamu-*.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
cd shamu-*
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
Now, you said you wanted to retain root too, if that isn't the case, just run:
Code:
fastboot reboot
If you do still want root, download TWRP, cd to the Downloads directory, then either run:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.1.0-0-shamu.img
if you want to keep the stock recovery
OR
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.0-0-shamu.img
if you want to keep TWRP.
Now that you're on TWRP, just use file explorer to drag and drop the newest SuperSU zip (at the time of writing this, 2.79 is the latest stable, and SR3-2.79 is the latest beta) if you're on Windows or Linux, or use
Code:
adb push [I]nameofsupersu[/I].zip /sdcard/
.
Now reboot.
Have fun! It may take up to 15 minutes to boot (for dex-opting, and encrypting if you were decrypted and decided to re-encrypt), so don't interrupt that first boot process, just let it go. It will also need to "Optimize" all installed apps, so that could take a long while as well.

Bad reading by me. Sorry.
Nevertheless you can upgrade to 7.1.1 by flashing the lite ROM of Danvdh.
There is a possibility that dirty flashing will cause reboot issue. Backup first and update your bootloader and radio before flashing the ROM.
There's a thread with flashable zips with latest bootloader/radio.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=59728002/
Latest TWRP: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/shamu

Why is everyone recommending the difficult ways???
Just download the OTA image from google and sideload it from your PC.
You don't even need TWRP, unloaded bootloader or root access to do it and you won't loose any data or settings.
More info and OTA images at https://developers.google.com/android/ota

Unable to boot into TWRP (bootloader unlocked)

So after an official way to do so Just unlocked my Nokia 8 bootloader.
I don't want to flash recovery as need system updates, so I tried booting to latest official twrp from fastboot "fastboot boot recovery.img" but it only take me to android logo and nothing happens. Any help regarding how to boot in twrp?
Also, is it okay to flash magisk with temporary twrp?

me too , just stuck there =(

you need to fastboot boot to even be able to install it anyway, but it seems to not be working for us that used the official unlock, either that or september update might be the problem

It works tho, I unlocked through official method and downgraded by switching slot a to slot b (search it up) then reboot ur phone you will see it's downgraded to the August update. Then boot the latest TWRP and follow the steps. It works, I assure you. Somehow TWRP is not compatible with the September patch.

Help to update rooted Nokia 8

So, I rooted my device following this https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-8/how-to/guide-how-to-root-nokia-8-ability-to-t3848390, but I cannot update my nokia...
The only thing I did different was that I had to rollback my device (with this guide) to June update, and then proceed accordingly.
When I try to update now, I keep getting an error on the update: "Couldn't update. Installation problem".
Can someone please help me? I am ok with both manual or automatic updates, but I need to update.

You only need to flash the stock (untouched) version of the boot partition to the active slot with relevant patch, which is June version at your occasion. Go to this page: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-8/development/nb01-stock-boot-imgs-fixing-wifi-t3854310
***
Edit: See my second post.
Also there is magisk uninstall feature, which you can restore the partition to stock and update and then magisk-root the inactive partition (newly installed system).
I have not upraded my phone, yet. That is, I didn't try anything I mentioned here.

It is "fastboot flash". It seems OK. This is what I will do if magisk uninstall doesn't work for me. But, again, you should know that I have not tried this yet.
Also, if your plan is to upgrade to pie, AFAIK there is some preliminary problems with it. They are mentioned in relevant topics here. I think it is better to wait for a better version.

Hi, thanks for the help.
The command fastboot flash boot "june.img" worked, but now I can't turn on my WiFi... It turns on then off again on its own...
Im gonna tinker around a little with it, but probably be back on the 25th or 26th, due to xmas.
Thanks a lot and merry christmas to you

Worked with may patch...
I think that my device was trying to apply the June patch, and so it was in may patch.
Ive installed it and now the update is ongoing.
Gonna try to re-root it after the holidays
I'm not going to apply the pie update, gonna wait for a while.
Thanks a lot man! You saved my device :laugh:

Thanks, marry christmas to you, too. TWRP won't work because there isn't a dedicated recovery partition anymore, it was patched into boot partition and wiped out with the flashing
If you are trying the prerooted boot image with "fastboot boot", it is broken after the august update. If not, maybe it is better to download the stock image to /sdcard and patch it with your latest magisk, later upload it to computer and "fastboot flash" it.

You can find a twrp-prepatched boot image for Pie + December Patch here: https://cloud.tmsp.io/s/nb1?path=/Boot Images/2018-12
Enter download mode and use fastboot to flash it into your active boot partition (either boot_a or boot_b, depending on the output of "fastboot getvar current-slot").
Then boot into recovery mode (using adb reboot recovery, or by shutting the phone down and pressing volume up while connecting it to the PC) and flash the Magisk installer .zip

Then boot into recovery mode (using adb reboot recovery, or by shutting the phone down and pressing volume up while connecting it to the PC) and flash the Magisk installer .zip

Hi,
thank you for your help but i'm stuck in boot here are the commands I did:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot> .\fastboot.exe getvar current-
slot
current-slot: b
PS C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot> .\fastboot.exe boot twrp-3.2.3
-1-NB1.img --slot=b
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.127s]
booting...
OKAY [ 5.208s]
finished. total time: 5.337s
I've also tried to boot on TWRP 3.2.3-1 but same issue I could not boot onto it and then flash it.
Any Idea ?
Regards

Thanks, marry christmas to you, too. TWRP won't work because there isn't a dedicated recovery partition anymore, it was patched into boot partition and wiped out with the flashing
If you are trying the prerooted boot image with "fastboot boot", it is broken after the august update. If not, maybe it is better to download the stock image to /sdcard and patch it with your latest magisk, later upload it to computer and "fastboot flash" it.

This worked for me with September boot. Just did what you said and then "fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img".
Thanks again
