How To Update To Android 7.0 Nougat
Prerequisites: unlocked bootloader Needed
This method does not wipe your data, so you will keep your apps and settings. You should have no problems, however, if you experience problems you may need to perform a factory reset and flash again. Make a backup first and transfer it to your PC.
Download the Nougat factory images for your model (Nexus 6P/Angler) above.
- Unzip the angler-xxxxxx-factory-xxxxxxxx (x’s replace variables) into a directory on your PC (for this guide we’ll use C:angler).
- Once unzipped you should have a folder named angler-xxxxxx (x’s replace variables). Open it and move the following files to a new directory named C:anglerimages:
bootloader-angler-angler-xx.xx.img
radio-angler-angler-xx.xx.img
(Please note that radio and bootloader naming changes from build to build so the filenames and below commands will change with them)
- Within C:anglerangler-xxxxxx you’ll see another zip archive named image-angler-xxxxxx, unzip the contents of that zip into the C:anglerimages folder we created before. Now within C:anglerimages you should have the following files:
android-info.txt
boot.img
bootloader-angler-angler-xx.xx.img
cache.img
radio-angler-angler-xx.xx.img
recovery.img
system.img
userdata.img
vendor.img
- Boot into the bootloader and connect your phone to your PC via usb cable.
- Open a command prompt from within your fastboot folder (navigate to where you have fastboot.exe located on your PC, shift + right click anywhere within that folder, select open command prompt here), enter these commands to flash:
fastboot flash bootloader C:anglerimagesbootloader-angler-angler-xx.xx.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio C:anglerimagesradio-angler-angler-xx.xx.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot C:anglerimagesboot.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash cache C:anglerimagescache.img
fastboot flash recovery C:anglerimagesrecovery.img
fastboot flash system C:anglerimagessystem.img
fastboot flash vendor C:anglerimagesvendor.img
- You can skip flashing the recovery if you wish, but even if you do the stock recovery may be patched on the first boot anyway. So you’ll need to flash TWRP and SuperSU again if you need/want those, as well as any other system modifications you may have had.
Note: Do not flash the userdata.img
Once all commands/flashes are complete you can reboot the device:
Code:
fastboot reboot
You’ll have to flash SuperSU again now, plus add any mods that you previously had.Please note: the latest builds of TWRP have bugs on Nougat. If you’re going to use TWRP after updating to Nougat please make sure you use the unofficial 3.0.2-3 build Here
How To Root:
Prerequisites: unlocked bootloader, TWRP recovery.
- Download the latest SuperSU of your choosing to your phone:
SuperSU Stable
Download
SuperSU Beta
Download
- Boot into TWRP recovery and enter the install menu.
- Navigate to where you have SuperSU stored on your internal storage and select it.
- Swipe to install.
- Once you’ve installed SuperSU you’ll have an option to wipe cache/dalvik and an option to reboot system. Wipe the cache/dalvik, hit the back button, and hit the reboot system button.
Do not flash the version of SuperSU that TWRP offers to flash for you in order to give you root, it is not compatible and will cause problems. When you attempt to reboot out of TWRP it will tell you that it’s detecting that you don’t have root and it will offer to root for you, skip past this. You do have root, ignore this every time it comes up.
