The one thing I did was move SU 2.62 into the !Readyflash/Root Files/ folder and flashed it instead of 2.52, like it says in those instructions.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Raymondlikesroot:
If there is a newer version of supersu available, what is the reasoning behind not including it? (I assume the issue the toolkit is up to date)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TonikJDK:
Both options are equally safe, so just go to 6.01 and be done with it. Backup or copy your important data and pics. You might have to wipe data.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
Did you follow the instructions, like it says on your computer screen when flashing the 3 files in TWRP.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Long Island NOOBIE:
NRT is presently on SuperSu 2.52 because after 2.52 it is considered "systemless". 'CHAINFIRE', the developer of SuperSu warns on his thread things will break if newer SuperSu versions are not installed in a correct fashion. For further details go to the following link:

[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
2.52 is for rooting including changes in the system partition.

2.6x is the new method; called systemless root.

Using both version will cause problems.

When NRT uses 2.52. There is nothing wrong. The new method called 'systemless' is still experimental.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Raymondlikesroot:
I think you quoted the wrong person.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
Probably, because Systemless Root 2.6x is still considered to be in beta stage. The 2.52 based SuperSu rooting method is considered to be stable.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] HipKat:
Because all the versions of SU after 2.52 are beta and not considered stable releases, although they work just fine

EDIT: didn't realize others had answered.. sorry
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Nick D:
So I'm on AT&T and used nrt to dirty flash to 6.0. The only discrepancy I've noticed is wonky cell reception. It always works but it's slow at times in places it wasn't before. Is there any reason flashing through nrt would leave me on the wrong modern, out just an outdated one?

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TonikJDK:
I would be shocked if that happened. Hit about phone and get the baseband version. That is your radio/modem version. Compare it to others in 6.0 or check the threads on radio versions to make sure it is right.

I would tell you but I am on 6.01 .
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wtherrell:
Depends on what exactly you flashed. If you had flashed the same files through fastboot the same results would occur. Check your baseband in about phone. Then there are a couple of threads with all the radios on here. Some are TWRP flashable, others need fastboot or NRT. Radios 27 and 32 have both worked out fine for me.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Nick D:
I flashed the MRA58R build through NRT. Current baseband shows as MDM9625_104662.22.05.27R . I searched briefly last night and the newest modern files I saw were for the developer preview. I'll try to spend some time reading up after work tonight to find the newer files and what everyone else is using. I appreciate the assistance.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wtherrell:
These are TWRP recovery flashable, don't know about NRT.

I Tried to unlock and root my stock Sprint Nexus 6 this weekend and getting this dreaded Your System is Corrupt. It can't be Trusted and may not work properly Error

Tried wiping and restore not working for me

Is there some dedicated thread or fix for this issue ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] HipKat:
It's the Kernel. What you're seeing is the same as tripping Knox on a Samsung phone. It means nothing. Most custom kernels address that so you'll never see it
[Nexus 6 Android Development] lloydsw:
Here's what I did: flashed back to 6.01 stock, pushed SuperSU-v2.62 to the same directory that NRT uses on the phone. Then following the NRT rooting sequence, flashed 2.62 instead of 2.52.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
Heres what I did NRT let me temp load TWRP so I flashed Pure Nexus that seems to have fixed the problem then i loaded Gapps I'm still running SuperSU-v2.52 should i update to SuperSU-v2.62 ?

Anything else i need t do here to make things more right ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] HipKat:
That's exactly what I did, then restored my busybox with TiBi
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
Ive just unlocked rooted and installed Pure Nexus over stock 6.0.1

I've reinstalled all my apps and I'm pretty much good to go

But I'm not sure if Busybox was install properly

I'm I ok to just go ahead and install it from Google Play at this point without messing up my new install ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] HipKat:
Yes, although some people, me included, had to get the pro version for it to install correctly
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
I didn't get the Pro version but everything seems to have installed correctly what problems where u having ?

Is there something I need to do to be able make the backup ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] sajk420:
Hello,

I used NRT KIT to flash my nexus 6 back to stock few days with assistance of few members on this thread and it works great. I want go back and relock the bootloader.

Using the NRT KIT do i need to do FLASH STOCK + UNROOT again, even though i did use that option few days go OR i can just factory reset the phone.

Then turn on develop option and check oem unlock and adb debugging and than click on OEM LOCK option with NRT Kit. Please advise with correct method.

thank you..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
A backup is a nothing more than a copy.

What build # is shown is not important for the backup.

When you have TWRP recovery installed, then consider to use this option. TWRP copies system, data etc to a directory in the internal memory. You can transfer that backup on a PC.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] HipKat:
If you're on stock, you can just relock but I think it'll wipe everything like when you unlocked. Not sure, but I think it does.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jbeezley:
I see you quoted me on that issue, so I will reply. In all honesty, I wouldn't know the correct method to relock the boot loader. Relocking the bootloader has never crossed my mind. Leaving it unlocked will have little impact on your usage if you have already reverted to stock+unrooted, but I'm sure you will get directed how to do it correctly, eventually.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] HipKat:
Agreed .Why would you ever want to relock it?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Philip:
Perhaps because you are sending it in for warranty service and don't want to risk it being refused due to having an unlocked bootloader?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jbeezley:
In his OP, the user stated he had just purchased it from his friend, listed the modest set of changes the previous owner made, and that he wanted to revert to be able to get OTA updates. It's not going in for service, most likely the user is uninformed and believes there's some type of advantage to a locked bootloader (I'm guessing security wise).
[Nexus 6 Android Development] sajk420:
Hey,

Sorry for the late reply, I read online that having the bootloader locked gives you better security for your device. If you have the bootloader unlocked someone can flash the phone or get into your data. Also if I have to send it in for RMA as well... I have no need for rooting, OEM stock works fine for me..thank you guys for your assistance.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] HipKat:
Those things can happen with a locked bootloader, too
[Nexus 6 Android Development] sajk420:
I was not aware of it. But based on what I read was that it's seemed better to have the bootloader locked, if you don't root...

So I was trying to figure if need to flash my phone with stock again and than relock or I can just factory reset and press OEM lock option in NRT...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Long Island NOOBIE:

[Nexus 6 Android Development] wooddale:
With all respect why would you unlock unless you wanted to root?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] sajk420:
Thank you long island for the video link.

I didn't unlock the bootloader. I purchased the phone from someone, he

Had it rooted and unlocked the bootloader.

I flash the phone using NRT back to stock and unrooted. I want to relock the bootloader to stock as I read its safe that way. Also get ota updates. I don't have any use for root..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Safe? Or Secure? Or Privacy?

There are many reasons to mind the security of your phone. Many reasons (maybe the most) have nothing to do with you or the user/owner of that kind of devices. Security is used for protection of the legal rights of companies like Google, Apple. And for the business of banks to use digital pay systems to profit of your money. You privacy comes after that.

Authorities wants our data; companies earns money with our data. Profiling and big data is big business.

Locking the bootloader or not-rooting will not prevent or change the behavior of authorities and large companies.

Rooting is something they don't like. It enables to close the backdoor or prevent apps to wake up and switching off certain connections/services. But that need some more knowledge.

If you want a little bit more safety, security or privacy you should not use devices like smartphones. Or learn how to remove bloat and prevent apps sending things you don't want.

The moral of this: do not think you are safe with a locked bootloader.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] mwebb34:
I was having trouble with my refurb nexus 6 the back was comming unglued and when I plug it into my pc it would only see the camera files. It flashed twrp on the computer via usb and my device booted into twrp as long as I had it connected via usb, but as soon as I finished installing and tried to boot recovery I got the green robot with error. I called asurion and told them about the piece of craps refurbished device and told them to send me a new one not refurbished but fricking new. Now I gotta wait till Monday and if I get another piece of **** phone I'm gonna blow my ****ing top.....
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mwebb34:
If twrp is installed would there be a 'twrp' folder in root explorer?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
I don't know, but after making a backup it appeared.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
Yes, but you would not know if it is installed correctly. To check, either use a direct reeboot to TWRP, or reeboot to fastboot and select recovery. If it reeboot to stock recovery then TWRP is not installed.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mwebb34:
Craps I tried to unroot using wugs and I got device maybe corrupt then the device shuts down...it's bricked!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Lancez:
It's a nexus and it's impossible to be bricked. Unless you screwed up USB port. If you still can get into bootloader, you can flash stock without any problems. If wug's toolkit won't work try the skipsoft toolkit in original section. It can flash stock onto your phone right from bootloader without booting the system
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
I used Wug's toolkit to unroot with no issues, why would you unroot anyways. Your phone is not bricked, just press the power button and volume up/down button all at the same time until got get the bootloader screen.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] srothkin:
I'm trying to upgrade my Nexus 6 (Google Fi) from 5.1.1 (LVY48H) to 6.0.1 (MMB29K) and re-root. I've done the unroot no-wipe path several times in the past without a problem.

With 6.0.1 the upgrade succeeds but when I then try to root and follow the instructions (installing perm-recovery-signed.zip and then UPDATE_supersu-v2.46) it bricks on the reboot (the corrupted device warning appears briefly and then the screen powers off). I then have to go to bootloader mode and use the soft-brick process. I tried this several times (including once with the beta SuperSU 2.64) and also tried wiping dalvik/cache prior to rebooting and it failed the same way each time.

The last time I tried accessing recovery from the bootloader menu but I just got the "broken android" icon. Still had to do the soft-brick OS re-install (this time back to 5.1.1.).

What do I need to do to get this to work correctly? I'd like to avoid having to wipe and reload all my data.

If I do have to do a full wipe, it would be nice to have

1) an assurance that this will solve the problem so I'm not wasting my time

2) detailed instructions on Titanium Backup/Restore so that I get all my apps AND Android settings (including desktop layout) restored and don't have to spend hours manually redoing whatever doesn't get restored by MyBackupPro or Android itself.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TreatnHerRight:
Unlocked Bootloader, Rooted and flashed TWRP yesterday with this. Worked almost flawlessly. After rooting and flashing TWRP I don't think TWRP stuck. When trying to boot into recovery I received the broken android picture. I had to go into advanced on NRT and flash TWRP again and it worked flawlessly. Created my nandroid and already on a custom ROM this made it extremely easy. Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mwebb34:
I'm at the boot loader screen. When I try to power down the device then power it back on it says your device can't be trusted. Probably can't read what this says but this is what I get.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] srothkin:
This is a Marshmallow "feature". Rooting the device will cause that to always appear.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mwebb34:
Hmmm then if it cause that to appear then how do you make it go away?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
Flash a custom kernel like EX.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mwebb34:
I'm musta not read good enough, but I figured the nexus toolkit done it all. Since I can't get the screen to come up, how would I go about flashing the kernel? I have got a new device on the way it will be here this Monday, so I have got to go all the way back to stock. The device has twrp installed and I also flashed the superSU file. Do I need to go ahead and continue with fixing it and then after all the flashing is done, then go back and UN-root and flash stock img and lock. Just need- to know how I'm gonna be able to do all this. I have 10 days from when I receive my new device to return the one I'm working on. Right now I'm not home so no PC access. Just looking for some help. Guys if I'm being rude by posting here please let me know and I'll stop and go else were.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] srothkin:
I presume you're in the state where you see the "corrupted device" warning and it then shuts off (I kept hitting this today when trying to re-root after flashing from 5.1.1 to 6.0.1 without wiping). You'll need to boot into the boot loader by holding down all 3 buttons (power and volume up/down) until the bootloader screen comes up (may take 20 seconds). Then select the Soft-Bricked option in the toolkit (under unlock and flash) and flash. That should get it working again.

You might be able to directly flash to a particular kernel using this method, but I ended up with a boot loop when I tried to use this to flash back to 5.1.1 - I ended up having to flash back to the unrooted 6.0.1 and then reboot to recovery and manually restore my 5.1.1 backup.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
Go back into toolkit and reflashed stock. Read the op!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mwebb34:
I tried the soft bricked option, with no luck. I will try again later. Also could I download the kernel and flash it in fastboot? If I can do this what would I type in the fastboot command to get it to flash.

Thanks for posting this, I had the same problem, but now I have no trouble rebooting into twrp. But when I reboot I get the broken screen then device shuts off. And there's no custom kernels installed in twrp either, so I can't flash a kernel.

---------- Post added at 02:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 PM ----------

I'm having the same problem, but I took the OTA update to 6.0.1 update before I unlocked and attempted to root and install recovery. I'm on a time limit to get this thing going again and so far it's not looking to good for me. Gotta return it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] srothkin:
My suggestion - flash back to 5.1.1 (the latest Lollipop image) and root that. Stick on that until the issue with rooting 6.0.1 gets fixed. As much as I'd like to move to marshmallow (and get rid of the upgrade nags that sometimes come several times a day), at least its been stable for me on all the lollipop releases and I have root.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
Never accept any software update if you are rooted with a locked bootloader. Your phone needs to be stock to accept any over the air software update.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mwebb34:
So I need to download the 5.1.1 files and flash them, in fastboot? Would you happen to have any of the files handy so I can get this going.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] srothkin:
You can do all of this within the toolkit. After clicking the Flash Stock + Unroot button, just choose the correct 5.1.1 firmware build for your device and carrier and the toolkit will download it for you. If you're unsure which version, go to https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images and get the correct firmware string from there (e.g. for Google Fi it is LVY48I (although I'm still on LVY48H). If that doesn't appear in the drop-list in the toolkit you can download it from the Google site and then select that in the toolkit.

Instead of selecting the current build your on, select the build you want and flash it. Select current build your on like when you flash custom recovery or root, stuff like that.
