Add to Flipboard Magazine.  December 6,2016 by Android Custom ROM Fix™

According to the official Android Developers blog post for the Android 7.1.1 Nougat update, the Nexus 6 will receive the latest update via an OTA. Though, the factory image for the Nexus 6 is still missing.

Further, the update comes along with the December 5, 2016 security patch. The first security patch was dated 1st December 2016 but was only a partial security patch, with the total December patch being this 5th December patch. In all, 6 critical vulnerabilities, 21 vulnerabilities marked high severity and 12 marked as moderate were patched in this complete patch. A point to note is that all critical vulnerability patches are part of the 5th December patch level and are not included in the 1st December patch level.

÷ How to Update Nexus 9 “volantis” to Android 7.1.1 Factory Image ( volantisg-nmf26f ) :

Step 1 – Download Android 7.1.1 Factory Image 
(volantisg-nmf26f-factory-cb15d790.zip)
for Nexus 9 on your PC, if you haven’t already.

Step 2 – Connect your Nexus 9 to your computer using the USB cable.

Step 3 – Please make sure Fastboot is configured and properly installed on your computer. How? See here: How to Set Up ADB and Fastboot with Android SDK.

Step 4 – Turn OFF your phone.

Step 5 – Get into the Fastboot/Bootloader Mode on your phone. Turn ON the phone while pressing and holding the Volume Up + Volume Down + Power buttons till you see the Fastboot menu and START on top.

Step 6 – Now extract the downloaded file anywhere in your computer. Go to the folder volantisg-nmf26f and then copy/paste all the files to your Fastboot directory.

Note: If you followed our tutorial on setting up Fastboot on your computer, there is a 99% chance your Fastboot directory will be the platform-tools folder in your Android SDK directory.

Step 7 – From the factory image files in your Fastboot directory, do the following depending which OS you are on:

•On Windows: Run the file “flash-all.bat”.
•On Mac: Run the file “flash-all.sh” using Terminal.
•On Linux: Run the file “flash-all.sh”.

Step 8 – That’s pretty much that you had to do for flashing the stock factory image on your Nexus 9 “volantis”. Now wait and watch as the process is completed — or follow the on-screen instructions on your phone if in case you have to unlock the bootloader.

Step 9 – After the installation completes, the phone will boot now and it might take about 5 minutes to boot on your first time. So, please wait with patience!

That’s it! Your Nexus 9 should now have the official Android 7.1.1 Nougat software update installed on your phone using the stock factory image from Google! Go to Settings >About phone to verify.

Best Regards.
