I have zero issues restoring vendor AND never once have I had a bootloop because of it.. sooo yeaaaaaah :laugh:
It's temp bootlooped my n9 every time. Restored it on accident once, on purpose twice. So, different experience. Laugh all you want, facts are facts.
Has anyone else successfully restored vendor on n9? (Curiosity)
Maybe on a different device it works?
I haven't tried since lollipop though.

To be fair, just because something is happening to you -- doesn't make it a fact. You're probably having bootloops because whatever vendor you have backed up is older than what is required to run whatever ROM you're on. THAT is what can cause bootloops, but that has nothing to do with TWRP.
Don't spread misinformation because you aren't doing anyone favors here by doing so.
I didn't mean to imply it was something wrong with twrp, I meant the n9 doesn't like restoring it. Restoring all partitions, including vendor, won't boot. Restoring everything except vendor, boots fine.
Haven't tried restoring vendor along with flashing the matching bootloader.
Never really had a reason to restore an old vendor anyways.
And not spreading misinformation at all, sharing experiences. I've spoken to many people, none of whom could successfully restore vendor and bootup. I tried all this when I first got the nexus 9 and was curious about vendor.

OK so not a big deal but on 2.8.7.1 I can save but TWRP cannot mount Vendor and so fails to restore.
Flashed 2 ROMS and had no issues. Now on AICP.

Would flasong latest CM13 update firmware and Vendor? The is it OK to flash other ROMs?
how can I get a version for Nexus 9 LTE which product info is flounder_lte?
Anything we can do to help with a 3.0.0 build? Gerritt and Jenkins both seem to be having a lot of issues on flounder these days
Downloads are already up for Flounder.
Use Flounder recovery. The trees are unified under Flounder. The only difference is your vendor.img
Thanks much, I must have missed it. I appreciate the work and responsiveness.
Edited: Found it. I must have posted before it was up there.

Hello all.
So I just moved to v3 and tried to take a nandroid which seemed to complete ok despite saying at the end "unable to unmount system - device or resource busy".
Anyway, I then tried to wipe cache, dalvik and system and the exact same message as above came up and this time the system wipe could not be completed.
I cannot also flash anything at the moment the above error.
Tried googling it but to no avail.
Any ideas anyone?
Thank you in advance

You could try and got to previous twrp version. I suppose you rebooted recovery several times and it didn't help? Did you check/uncheck "mount system"?Hello all.

Thank you for your reply.
Currently I'm away from the tablet and I only tried unmounting the system to no avail.
I'm not sure the recovery rebooting could help but I will try ASAP.
Thank you again
@Dees_Troy I am having the same issue w/ v3. It appears that when making or restoring a backup the system is not being unmounted. It requires rebooting back into twrp to unmount system.Hello all.

Thanks for your hard work and continued support. If you need me to do any testing please ask.
Thanks again.
