You too my friend! The OP seems to be quite a gentleman and that attracts others such as yourself. Believe it or not I watched all the videos linked to this thread a while back but in the month and a half it took me to get my 6 I didn't catch that toggle in the advanced menu until experiencing failure and watching again. I also thought the IMG downloaded previously would do the trick. I seem to excel at helping others learn from my screw ups. [emoji33]

I've read lots of reviews on this machine and most of them can stick it. It is unbelievable and was well worth the wait...and the $!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] linuxares:
Thank you for this Toolkit. Worked like a charm!

Just had one issue that just required a computer reboot and it was all fixed. I assume it was my AV.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] agentfazexx:
Stupid question... This toolkit can make a backup of my OS/apps/app data/game saves so when I flash CM12, for example, I can restore all my app data and game saves right?

Guys i just got my nexus 6..its on lrx22 build....how to root and unlock and all please give me link? newbie to nexus 6
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Swamphound:
Watch the videos linked in the OP. Yes you can unlock, root and disable forced encryption with this great tool.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] born_fisherman:
Can you root without unlocking the bootloader? Can you still do OTA updates after rooting?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TeeX2.0:
you can't do anything without unlocking the boot loader.

and yes you can still get OTA's if you just root.

I've been dying to unlock my phone but I am having some major data problems and may have to send phone back. Unlocking phone does not void warranty but root does correct. I had to send back my Moto X it was unlocked and rooted I sent it in and they sent me a brand new phone back. So what's the deal with nexus?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mervingio:
Risk?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] selayan:
You need internet to download the stock images and recovery/root files.

I can't figure out how to update my phone to the latest version of Lollipop without losing all my data - I'm currently on LRX210. I know it's been mentioned but honestly navigating these comment threads is a nightmare and search was no help. Are the instructions anywhere in the toolkit?

[Nexus 6 Android Development] rabidrat7:
Works Great! But...

Hey just wanted to say thanks for this great tool! One thing that I came across (might be because I purchased my N6 from Sprint) was that my phone kept trying to re-activate my service after unlocking and rooting. I found that if i used root explorer and went to system/priv-app/SprintDM and changed the SprintDM.apk to SprintDM.bak all my problems were solved! Just in case anyone else runs into the problem.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Nubche:
I'd like to thank Wug for this great work.

I have just one question, after successfully unblocking and rooting the device, I went and actually disabled the forced encryption. But since it just deleted all my data (which I have none as it was just rooted), I noticed that busybox was gone, so I went and installed myself, other than that, do I have to do any OTHER operation or it is good to go? Thank you a lot again.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] chief2842:
So you are trying to flash 5.0.1 with the toolkit and not wipe/lose data correct? If so flash back stock with the no wipe options under options in the toolkit then flash 5.0.1. If you look at wugs blog he has tutorials and videos on it. http://www.wugfresh.com/

I am having an issue installing the drivers on Windows 8.1. I enabled the unsigned drivers option so that's not it. If I try any of the automatic driver installs in the toolkit it says install failed. The manual method says file not found after I click install with the directory pasted in. I managed to get adb working using a Samsung driver I found but fastboot doesn't work. In device manager it says shamu fastboot with a yellow exclamation and the drivers don't seem to work on that. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Preferably with the automatic install from the toolkit.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] udimars30:
Having a big problem, i bymistake erased my internal storage and now when i boot i do not see any status bar and buttons.

Also the device does not get connected to the computer.

theni tried using wug's toolkit to restore back to 5.0.1 it always says that system.img is missing.

I also tried to do manually , and again same message.

Can someone help me?

Trojan Warning

Hi,

I get a trojan warning from my virus scanner (G-Data) for Win32.Trojan-Downloader.Malautoit.O. According to the virus scanner the trojan is located in the "Nexus Root Toolkit", the "Uninstall_NRT.exe file", the "Wug_Updater_Nexus.exe". Any idea why I get this warning? Has anybody else seen it and scanned the file?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] WugFresh:
Its a false positive, please report it to your AV provider so they can review it, deem it safe and whitelist it.

The programming language this is written in (Autoit) is known to get falsely flagged.

I am the sole developer and publisher of this application and if you downloaded it from my website and the hash value matches what I posted there then I guarantee its 100% clean and will always be.

I use to report it to AV providers myself but it is too time consuming, so I ask that users please report it themselves.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] agentfazexx:
No but I flashed TWRP and then flashed CM12
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RandoTheKing:
Mostly wanting to de-crypt again because recording video is awful. I'm assuming I just follow those NRT instructions and then go ahead and install CM12 separately or through the toolkit.

Side note, are there any big bugs with CM12? With CM11 I had problems with Bluetooth and the Camera on my N4.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] yankeesfan714:
If I am rooted on 5.0.1 and want to flash stock and unroot I should point the tool to install 5.0.1 correct?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] agentfazexx:
Can someone please answer this? I've asked 3-4 times now how to do this over the last few days.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] AlexManner:
Many thanks for the quick update. I am happy to report the false positive to G-Data. The link you have posted recommends: "Best practice would be to include your source code along with a compiled exe". Is the source code available so that I can upload it or would you recommend just to upload the compiled .exe?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] WugFresh:
That link is a general info page to autoit devs. As a user you can just send g-data the exe or even point them to my website. No, the source code is not available at this time. Thank you for reporting it.

I will look out for g-data in the future and try to notify them myself.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mahapederdon:
If you have a backup of what you want restore it and use tb backup. Then you can restore apps to any rom. I'm not exactly sure how this one works. If you wanna try it and you've backed up using wugs just do the same but restore. Make sure USB debugging is enabled. It seems pretty strait forward to me but I havnt done it thru his app.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] agentfazexx:
I already flashed CM12. Can I just use nandroid backup or something to mine the backup file?

Has anyone tried this?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mahapederdon:
Do you have a nandroid of the ROM you wanna get the apps from. If you do then backup cm 12 and restore the said rom and use tb to backup or use wugs. Then restore cm12 and restore app using tb or wugs. Make sense. I don't think there is a way to pull files from a nandroid. It's packed up in data and system IMG I think.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] agentfazexx:
Like I already said, I did a backup via Wugs of my stock setup.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mahapederdon:
So... I think do the exact same thing but hit restore. It will put all the apps back where they were in the old rom. Same file structure for user apps so you should be fine.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mickwa76:
This toolkit is awesome. Thanks bud.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] agentfazexx:
So Wugs will restore from stock backup, just app data to CM12?

I have a little feature request. :o

Is it possible to add a feature that performs an adb backup of an encrypted /data partition, then decrypts it on the PC and restores that decrypted backup back to the device with a no-force encrypt boot.img to avoid any factory resets on decrypting the device? This would also come handy for people who accidentally boot with a force encrypt kernel and have to redo everything again.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Pecata:
First I want to say how much I appreciate your hard work and the NRT is awesome!

I do have a question-maybe I am doing something wrong-I have rooted my Nexus 6 last night and along with that I checked the option to flash a custom recovery-Now my phone is rooted but the custom recovery is not installed-I still have the stock recovery. I know I saw the TEAMWIN logo briefly while the tool was flashing root but that was it...Later I found the filed in my storage-the TWRP file the root file and the busybox file but they are just zips-I am guessing that's how to tool falshed them on the phone....I can delete them since they are already installed I am guessing.

Oh okay, I just assumed it was out. Version doesn't really matter. What is the upgrade process to maintain root and decryption?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mahapederdon:
If you have TWRP flash this rom. If your already unencrypted it will stay that way. If not flash then format userdata.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] NeoXer0:
Hi all,

I just wanted to double check -- according to the FAQ if all I do is root my phone but don't flash a custom recovery/ROM then I should still be able to receive and install OTA updates without doing a factory reset. Is this correct? Because I'm pretty sure I've read elsewhere that root alone is enough to break OTA updates for devices running Lollipop.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] WugFresh:
All the flash stock options are now in "Flash Stock + Unroot" interface.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wrongway213:
I thought you could take OTAs with root as long as you didn't edit system files.. but why you'd want root to edit no system files is beyond me. I dunno of anyone off hand who takes OTAs rooted unless there's some super geniuses on here doing stuff I don't even know how to do lol
[Nexus 6 Android Development] AlexManner:
Great, I have done this. I will give an update if I get an answer from G-Data. :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] WugFresh:
I need to update the FAQs, as that info only pertains to KitKat.

On lollipop, to take an OTA, the entire system blob is checked. If one file is different, then it fails (status error 7). So rooting alone will now break OTAs since it installs files to your system partition. The best way to update is with "Flash stock + unroot" with no-wipe mode, and if your are decrypted, then also enable "no-force encrypt" in the flash stock interface to retain decryption.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 6 Android Development] WugFresh:
Hit "Flash Stock + Unroot" and enable "no-wipe mode" (if you don't want data wiped), and "no-force encrypt" to retain decryption. Then afterwards, root again.

Bricked.....UnBRICK'd

Mr. Wug

I've been using your NRT for all my Nexus devices since the N4

It got my out of a jam on my N4 and this morning....on my N6

I tried to decrypt by erasing my user data and re-installing the ROM

Somewhere down the line, I unmounted something and was stuck in bootloader mode with TWRP bootlooping

If recovery would have survived my mis-doings, I could have fixed it....but my recovery was gone also

I used NRT to try and fix 2 days ago and it failed and kept failing

I would go thru the motions of rebuilding my N6 but wouldn't actually install

I got up this morning to try again

Your NRT updated to 2.0

I read a couple of days ago about the "Forced Flashing" mode

I said, "What the heck" and tried it

It flashed all the way thru this time and UnBRICK'd my N6

Thanks Sir again for saving another device

I'm purchasing a pro version of your software if there is one.....I will continue to use NRT now and in the FUTURE
[Nexus 6 Android Development] selayan:
This is great..what if you are encrypted but want to decrypt, anyway to do that without wiping? Although I may as well wipe as I want to flash a ROM soon.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] baudi11:
Same thing happened to me: The "TEAMWIN" logo appeared on the screen for about 5 seconds, then the screen went back for about 2 seconds, then "TEAMWIN" again, and so on, for about 1/2 hour. I finally was able to get out of the loop by holding down power and both volume buttons for about 30 seconds. That got me to the bootloader screen, where I was able to use the Forced flash mode. This was with version 2.0.0.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] WugFresh:
No. Userdata has to be wiped the first time because the partition is encrypted. Also if you decrypt and then flash a ROM, it must also have the no-force encrypt mod. If the dev didn't include that your device will re-encrypt after the ROM flash.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] markwebb:
I had same issue over and over. So, I used toolkit to flash latest stock unrooted and then manually adb root and custom recovery. So something has corrupted in this update creating the looping.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mervingio:
^^^^ Same issue here I use Flashify and done ^^^
[Nexus 6 Android Development] selayan:
Thanks for the prompt answer. I guess I don't mind wiping again since I can at least back up my apps with your tool. Will I get any errors if I just stay encrypted and flash a ROM that is already decrypted?

Well

Its comforting to know that I wasn't the only who experienced this

Unlock and root has never been this easy and simple, but I do have a question.

I am trying to update from LRX210 to LRX22C using the toolkit.

From what I read online, I need to enable "no-wipe" and use "Flash Stock and Unroot".

However, I cannot find the option for "no-wipe".

I am using the most current version of the toolkit, and everything is up-to-date.

So what should I do? :confused:

Ohhh, I see where the problem is.

I keep assuming no-wipe is in the option -> option, since the post I read mentioned "no-wipe" before "Flash Stock and Unroot".

It is actually after you press OK to acknowledge the possible wipe with flashing.
