        @Flohack can you provide the latest system.img and rootfs so I can flash to a new version that would allow me to perform updates more easily? I have used these files to get to where I'm at.

          @kz6fittycent you can always get the latest images from our CI as follows:

          • The rootfs is built multiple times by day and can be downloaded here: https://ci.ubports.com/job/xenial-hybris-rootfs-arm64/
          • The system image is built daily but it does not change very often, probably you dont need to replace it that much. Download this here: and then extract it from the archive from this location https://ci.ubports.com/job/Device Compatibility Images/job/halium-angler/ , and put it in the very same location in /system/var/lib... or, if you use the halium install only, just put it into /data partition πŸ˜‰ - anyways just overwrite it, dont create an additional one somewhere πŸ™‚

          E.g.:

          1560d6e2-14aa-4de8-965d-b4327bd03679-grafik.png

          Does this answer your question? Not the rootfs is then what you would have in the devel channel. There is no direct download for RC or stable, but we are quite stable also in devel ^^

            Thanks! Will I need to wipe before installing these coming from the older files or just flash over them?

              @kz6fittycent No just replace them, leave all other things intact on the /data partition so you will keep your personal data ^^

                @sbearg So, in short, you need the halium boot from flowhack's page, system and rootfs from the ubports mainstream above. Follow the instructions above being sure to change the file names in the commands to match the files you downloaded.

                Mac is unix, so I assume the manual instructions should work, but maybe with some modifications

                  Humm guys I notice now that I also have Bluetooth issues on start. This is kinda regression, I think this already worked better some months ago?

                  Would be good to know since when this happened. Basically I think the startup script is too fast, I will add some delay πŸ˜‰

                    @flohack I started noticing BT crashing more about a month ago. But, after a reboot or two it would recover. So, I just assumed it was the normal whatever is causing that, that has not been solved.

                      Had a heck of a time getting this to install. . . finally got it. . . figured I'd post my steps:

                      1. Flash TWRP
                      2. Full wipe via TWRP
                      3. Manually flash Android 7.1.2 via bootloader
                      4. Boot into & minimally setup Android
                      5. Enable USB debugging
                      6. Boot into TWRP (had to reflash via bootloader)
                      7. Wipe Cache & Data
                      8. Format Data
                      9. Flash ubports via installer (new version was available as of Dec 12

                      After step 9, the phone rebooted into the ubports updater screen. It stuck there for a while. . . so, I left it alone and ran some errands. When I came back. . . boom! While I don't have service on it, I AM posting from my ubports 6p. . . πŸ™‚

                        So we have now device subforums, and here is the one for 6P: https://forums.ubports.com/category/57/google-nexus-6p - I think after 600 posts this thread should be closed. Please move your contributions and discussions there. Thanks!
