Can't restore firmware 6p

[S1CAR1US]

The documentation on using the app is scarce. I read that using the app is the easy way to get monitor mode working with a 6p. I install the app, follow the prompts to install the tools. Then firmware, make a backup, install nexmon firmware, WiFi stops working and can no longer turn it on at all. Go to firmware section in the nexmon app to restore firmware using the backup I made, and now it tells me that the device I have is not supported... I have a 6p and just a minute ago it was supported. I have had to re flash Nexus image and nethunter twice now because of this. How do I fix without starting over every time?

Manually make a backup of the firmware file and restore it when something fails. The app can now be considered depricated as we did not update it for quite a while. If you have a firmware version in your android rom that is supported by nexmon, compile your own firmware from the repository and install it.

That's a pretty cheap cop-out, the info on your own page refers the app. Now your telling me as if I should have known. At least offer some direction as to how to go about restoring the correct fw

This should be the location of the firmware file: /vendor/firmware/fw_bcmdhd.bin Where exactly do we refer to the app on the webpage? In any case, you use nexmon on your own risk: Our software may damage your hardware and may void your hardware’s warranty! You use our tools at your own risk and responsibility! If you don't like these terms, don't use nexmon!
