How to Install Pixel ROM Port on Nexus devices?

Prerequisites

1. Make sure you have anย Unlocked Bootloader. This is required most commonly for custom TWRP recovery installation. If you have unlocked the bootloader,ย then you can flash the ROMS right away.

2.ย Although the Pixel ROM will flash a TWP build automatically, it is still advisable to flash theย latest TWRP build.ย Also,ย get here to know how to flash it.

3.ย ADB and Fastboot environment on PC is also required. Get here toย setup on any OS.

Installation Instructions for Pixel ROM port ontoย Nexus

Although this is a custom ROM, you will need to install it via fastboot and not TWRP. If you already have TWRP, first take fullย Nandroidย backup:ย Backupย partitions- system, data, boot, recovery, EFS and cache(optional). Remember, this ROM only works with LG Nexus 5X!

Step 1: Downloadย the official Pixelย ROM port package.

Step 2:ย Transfer all the files above to yourย PC. Extract the ROM file onto your PC, Mac, Linux machine.

Step 3:ย Reboot into fastboot mode. Power off completely and then press and hold the power button and volume down key for a few seconds.ย (Power + Home + Volume down/up)

Step 3: Now connect you Android to PC and go to the extracted Pixel ROM file. Run Flash-PixelROM-Windows.bat on Windows PC. For Mac OS runย Flash-PixelROM-Mac.sh and Linux runย Flash-PixelROM-Linux.sh.

Step 4:ย Once installed, your device will boot directly to CF-AutoRoot and the device may reboot multiple times.

Step 5:ย Let it complete and reboot to system.

The first boot may take a few minutes. If your device gets stuck in boot loop or doesnโ€™t show up for more thanย 10 minutes then perform the operation again without wiping. Otherwise, try a factory reset from TWRP. You can also restore the previous build.

    Title says: “Install Complete Google Pixel ROM Port for Nexus Devices | Nexus 5X, 6P, 6, 5, 9, 7”

    But, the article says, “For users running Nexus 6P, Nexus 6, or other Nexus range phones, do not have support for this specific ROM.” and “Remember, this ROM only works with LG Nexus 5X!”

    So, the title should read: “Install Complete Google Pixel ROM Port on Nexus 5X”
