[STOCK][6.0.1] Nextbit Robin Flashable Stock ROM [Updated 2016-10-09]

[[deXter]]

Unmodified factory images extracted from the Robin - Updated for Android 6.0.1 build 00WW_1_450 (released on 07 Oct 2016)

This is flashable zip, and it requires TWRP. Note that while the zip includes the boot.img, it doesn't include the recovery - so you can continue using TWRP if you've flashed it. If you wish to return to 100% stock, flash the included recovery.img file as well.

Note: If your Robin is currently unencrypted and you want it to remain that way, don't forget to flash the modified boot.img immediately after flashing the ROM, or else your device will become encrypted again.

Note:The official fastboot images can be found here: https://community.nextbit.com/t5/Tools/Nextbit-Robin-Factory-Images/m-p/10649

Any news Khang? Not to push, but I remember you saying your original plan was to get these out by the end of the month.

Hey @Nickamina - Foxconn is working with us, but it's been slow going. We don't have an ETA just yet, but are hoping soon we'll have the factory images available since people have been having trouble with the OTA (if they have TWRP installed).

the update zip is corrupt, i believe it so. thts why ppl keep getting error in update.

i second that. did the update today. went to stock recovery. little robot and everything. got about 1/4 of the way and went to stock recovery menu. wiped data and cache thinking that it had finished the update. now i have a robin that won't boot. i did not wipe system, but the phone will not boot. any thoughts on how to get it back up and running? adb twrp and then flash stock image from this thread? any help would be appreciated.

 

[daavm]

@lordlittlebrooks yes, enter twrp and push the system image and mentioned above

Hi all,

I've uploaded the factory images for the new build 00WW1_19F (released on 29th March).

Please see the updated OP for full instructions.

So being a flashable zip in TWRP, would it be possible to just sideload? Or push and move to /cache/ since my data is encrypted? If so, just flash and wipe cache and I'll be golden then? Thanks!

 

[[deXter]]

Both sideloading and flashing from /cache should be possible, in theory. I'm currently running unencrypted so I can't confirm, so I would be interested to see what your results are.

Alright, well I'll do this when I get home then, seems like a more reliable way than unrooting and going back to stock to update!

The only thing that gets me is not being able to wipe dalvik through recovery though. Is it possible to wipe beforehand on terminal emulator, and then continue on through recovery by any chance?

su
cd /data
rm -rf dalvik-cache
mkdir dalvik-cache
chmod 0771 dalvik-cache

Don't forget to reboot immediately, or else apps may start to crash and weird things will happen.

cd /data

mkdir dalvik-cache
chmod 0771 dalvik-cache

Would it be possible just to:

cd /data/dalvik-cache
rm -f *
Reboot
Could I do that since I won't have to mess with chmod as well? I mean, it's obviously no big deal but would this work too?

No, because the dalvik-cache contains sub-folders.
You could rm -rf the sub-folders if you wanted to though, but that's just extra commands.

I just tested this out in the terminal - you could cd to the dalvik-cache folder and run "rm -rf *". This will get rid of all the files and subfolders in the dalvik-cache folder, and you don't have to mess with the permissions.

Oh perfect! Thanks!

Sorry about the double post, but here's an update so far. Gonna try sideloading next but when I tried to move it to cache adb spat out an error stating: failed to copy 'update.zip' to '/cache//update.zip': No space left on device

So yeah, will try sideloading in a little bit here!

Alright! Went through sideload and so far success! Here's the steps that I did:

1) Get Terminal Emulator
1.a) su
1.b) cd /data/dalvik-cache/
1.c) rm -rf *
1.d) reboot recovery

2) Navigate to sideload feature (Advanced -> ADB Sideload)
3) On PC (got superSU back because I like my root)

G:\Users\XXXX\Downloads>adb sideload update.zip
Total xfer: 1.00x

G:\Users\XXXX\Downloads>adb sideload BETA-SuperSU-v2.68-20160228150503.zip
Total xfer: 1.56x

G:\Users\XXXX\Downloads>

Afterwards, wiped cache from recovery, and rebooted! Now just optimizing apps! May install xposed here after all is said and done, but seems to be golden! Thanks Dexter! You may have to teach me how to create some of these update zips!

Sorry, dumb question that everyone hates. I'm currently rooted, unencrypted with TWRP installed: is it possible to just dirty flash over the top of my current ROM and not lose my system data without losing everything and then flash the no-encryption zip?

Thanks a lot.

Yep you can dirty flash. Just make sure you flash the no-encryption mod, followed by supersu immediately after (in that order).
