[Q] Back to stock

I was running cm12 on my nexus 5 and I had unlocked the boot loader and was asking xposed framework aplha version .
But then I decided to go back to stock android and I flashed the flashed the factory image of android 5.1 build number lmy47I . I wiped the data and even relocked the boot loader and now my phone is running smoothly and is on stock android.
But is there a way by which I can check if I flashed it correctly or not?
I mean nothing is broken but I heard android 5.1.1 update is around the corner so I was worried will I be able to apply the ota

Huh what? If it booted and is running smoothly its fine. If you didnt mod anything you'll get the ota

If you've flashed the factory image and everything is stock you should be fine for the OTA!

Thanks for the help

Lol....

You didn't need to relock the bootloader though. I tend to not ever want to relock it after unlocking it since that's about he only way you could potentially brick the device I think (Like if you relocked the bootloader and then for some reason the phone would not boot or something I am not sure how you'd unlock the bootloader again but whatever)

Good to know. Btw, can you tell me, I'm on stock 5.1 unlocked bl, twrp, rooted. Will I be able to apply 5.1.1 over OTA when it comes out ?

No, you're rooted.

Will I be able to flash the 5.1.1 image ?

You can't flash OTA with root. You can look at the other thread on factory firmware and flash a Marshmallow factory image if one is available for your model. That is safer than flashing an OTA anyway.

Thanks for the reply
I have downloaded Official Firmware of 6.0 for XT1550 from here.
So Now, can i process with this using fastboot command.
If yes, will it look the bootloader ?

I thought OTA's worked fine with root installed, although you often lose root in the process, it was custom recovery they burped at?

[GUIDE] Downgrade to Marshmallow from Nougat Soak Test

Hey guys , many people were having problems downgrading their device so i thought i should make this thread.
I have downgraded my phone successfully and this should also work for other variants.
So let's Start
Prerequisites :
Phone with Unlocked bootloader
Drivers Installed
Phone Charged to 50%
Phone having Nougat Soak Test
mfastboot and adb
How To :
First Setup adb and Fastboot , by extracting the mfastboot-v2 file in the C:\ directory. So that the files are in a folder in the C directory. Ill name this folder as adb.
Download the correct firmware(Stock Marshmallow) for your device , I have links to all down below.
Extract the firmware files in the same adb folder.
Download the run.bat file . Link below
copy the run.bat file inside the adb folder
Open your phone in bootloader mode by first turning off your phone. Then pressing and holding power and volume down at the same time for around 3 seconds.
Connect your phone to your computer via a usb cable
Double click and run the run.bat file.
After the window closes. Start the phone by selecting the start option in the bootloader mode.
Tap the power button to start.
That's it Now you have successfully downgraded to Marshmallow.

Sorry for the wrong information, i locked my bootloader on the nougat soak test and misread your question!

Did you relock it ? I don't think it's possible if you are downgrdin from 7.0 as the booloader is upgraded

Yes this should work .

I have a locked bootloader and im on soak build NPJ25.75-2.
Do I need to unlock the bootloader to flash this new soak build. Or can I downgrade to MM without unlocking bootloader.
I dont understand that if I'm flashing official files then why do I need to unlock the bootloader.
What I want to do is to update to the lastest build of N from soak build without unlocking bootloader.

I think you'll have to flash Marshmallow as described in this thread. Then sideload the update OTA via recovery.
If anybody is unable to download from FileFactory (like me), and happen to be on the XT1643, download link for the stock ROM is available on this thread. Happy Nougat times!

it ll unlock the bootloader?

Good.
What version Android was your phone on before the problem?
Were you on stock (factory) or on custom ROM?
Surely you weren't on Kitkat for almost 3 years?

When you downgrade back to lower stock, you have to omit gpt.bin command. Because you have a newer bootloader.
This is also why you can't take OTA. Because it tries to install a different bootloader (which is probably still older than what you had with custom ROM). If you wanted stock 5.0.2 again, you have to flash full stock image and omit the gpt.bin command.
Are you able to use volume and power button to the bootloader screen?

Before this trouble, were you ever on stock Marshmallow 6.0.1? If so, you can flash back to full firmware of that, but needs to be the very latest. I'll find a link for you.
Also, do you have TWRP installed and did you have a backup you can restore?

Yes before this problem I was in the latest 6.0.1 and the stock I have here when I installed had a security update

OK, then that's the bootloader you were on and will always be on. You need to reflash that latest version (with the security update) to repair. Just reflash the entire full firmware.
There's a link to it here in this forum. I'll find it when I get home, if you don't have it.
Then in the future, if you try to downgrade, you always have to flash full stock version EXCEPT you omit the gpt.bin file. Whether 4.4.4 Kitkat or 5.0.2 Lollipop.
And you can never take OTA.
Because you really have 6.0.1 bootloader.

This is the most likely because all the methods say so old and not one was and when I try to pass any old stock also will not always get that error in the bootloader in the gptbin downgrade logs

You can not flash any older gpt.bin files. You have to omit (leave out) that flash command.
Your gpt.bin file is 6.0.1, and you cannot downgrade. Even on 4.4.4, trying to accept the 5.0.2 OTA update is still older gpt.bin file in that OTA than your 6.0.1.
