If your ROM is still in tact then it's something not mounted right or you have many options to toggle within TWRP. If your ROM is gone, try an sideload a ROM. Full wipe and all. It should recognize your system afterwards.

when are we getting 2.8.5.1 or 2.8.5.2?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] damngood98:
the .1's or .2's etc are device specific typically, usually for a quick bug fix...something significant you're expecting?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] DominoDoug:
I performed OEM lock after flashing, rooting, etc. I became stuck in a recovery boot loop. Is this normal behaviour because of encryption or did I come across a bug?

inb4: Why OEM lock?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] purian23:
It almost sounds like you wiped your system and don't have a ROM to boot back into. If that were the case you could Sideload a ROM via TWRP, or reflash the stock rom. Other than that, I haven't experience this, you might want to start over.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] A2Eric:
I don't think its a bug. OEM lock will wipe the device just like OEM unlock wipes the device. I believe the Bootloader needs to stay unlocked if you're going to run a custom ROM with root.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] DominoDoug:
OEM lock does not wipe the device. I've done this with my last 3 Nexus devices.

I did the lock then gave the reboot command. I would get a blip of the TWRP screen over and over. It's almost as if it wanted stock recovery for some reason. I got out of it luckily. Just curious for a future attempt.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] PhilDX:
it does on the nexus 6, unlike previous devices.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] psychomaniac189:
i was just curious. i still have the problem sometimes with flashing a rom when using cmupdater. that makes sense why when i searched google all that came up was hammerhead haha. is it always the 4th number? i just wanted to know for reference.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] danarama:
Yep
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] General_Tso:
Like you, I used to re-lock my bootloader on previous Nexus devices, but it hasn't worked for me with my Nexus 6. If you flip back through a few pages, I discussed this with another poster on the merits of re-locking it.

yeah, i dont mean to downplay the twrp teams work here but i know that ever since androids lollipop and all the security additions theres a chance of issues with recovery. so just being cautious
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Casper34:
I didn't trust or use twrp till I got the n6. But now I can't use anything else. Its easy. No issues. I've flashed about 6 times using it and getting ready to flash another.

Used cm and philz.... love twrp now.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wtherrell:
I second this. Used Philz Touch on my Gs4, but I now really like TWRP.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] danarama:
There will be no philz for n6 because cwm is no longer maintained so it cannot be built on lollipop cm source. Only way it can be made is if the entire philz recovery is rebased to aosp recovery. There is no time for that from Phil. Phil said that if anything was to mean more time was available, would contribute to twrp instead.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Utini:
Can I install the recovery somehow within the recovery itself? So without google play or a pc? E.g. flashing?

Thanks
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] SamuriHL:
If you're rooted you can use something like flashify. If you're not rooted, then no, you'll need to flash it from a PC.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] z31s1g:
You can install the downloaded recovery image directly from twrp, like it was a zip.

On the page where you'd normally select the zip you want to flash, tab on the "Images..." button in the lower right corner of the screen. This button toggles between zip and image flashing. Then select the .IMG file, next select the target partition (recovery) and flash away.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] SamuriHL:
Ahhh, yea, my bad. I was thinking they were asking about stock recovery rather than upgrading to a new version of TWRP using an existing TWRP install. Thanks for that.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] cam30era:
I'm reluctant to double post, but I have not seen any replies to my posting in the Q&A section.

I flashed the 5.1 OTA last night.

This morning I fastboot flashed TWRP 2.8.5.0, and it appeared to execute properly.

But when I boot to recovery, stock recovery is still installed.

Feedback appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: SOLVED!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] hlxanthus:
For others with this issue, I assume you didn't flash SuperSU?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] cam30era:
Correct. Instead of going directly to recovery and flashing SuperSU, I rebooted first.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mijkz:
This isn't working for me. I've flashed everything from the 5.1 factory image except recovery and userdata. I've rebooted and confirmed that 5.1 is running OK. However, my TWRP has been replaced by stock recovery, even though I didn't flash the stock recovery.

I've reflashed TWRP, then rebooted, but when I power off and boot into recovery it's back to stock again. Not sure what's going on here.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] cam30era:
Follow these steps:

1) fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp.....

2) Do not do anything else from the command terminal

3) On your phone (from the bootloader screen) use volume button to move to recovery, and select it with the power button

4) Your phone will boot to TWRP

5) Flash SuperSU

6) Reboot. It will stick.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mijkz:
Yep, that did it - thanks! :good:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Lw00d:
i just flashed 5.1 , i had to reinstall TWRP.. now every time i start TWRP , it ask for password.. how do i remove password.. ????

i look under TWRP setting. i dont see password off or on.

Edit:: never mind i found post #344.

Edit: again,, how do i turn off the password process?/
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dorioo:
The "password" is what TWRP needs to decrypt your user data and work with it. To turn it off you'd likely have to decrypt your phone but lose the protection of being encrypted.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] danarama:
Yes you would need to be decrypted. One of the main reasons I don't use encryption.

BRICKED! Please Help

I've been rooted and using custom ROMs for only a couple weeks now on my Nexus 6. So far I have loved being rooted and have been enjoying different ROMs. However, today I tried to flash SlimROM and got an error: "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped." This was after I'd wiped the system using TWRP and installed the Slim ROM and GAPPs. All looked good, install appeared successful and it was booting up when I got the message. I've tried rebooting countless times. Nothing is working.

When I try to recover one of my TWRP backups, I see nothing in the internal storage menu. I had to move it from Google Drive to my Nexus first since I store my backups there. When I try to move the zip file onto the device it says there is not enough room on the device (though there is). So I copied and pasted the upzipped version onto my device. Still I am unable to see anything in the recovery menu.

I'm at a loss.

I don't know if this gives enough information or not, but I would LOVE some help. I hope I haven't ruined my nexus.

Thanks in advance.

Dan
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] danarama:
Sounds like you need to wipe data now... but obviously anything on board will be lost.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] drylightning:
I will do that. Should that allow the zip to be moved to the device? Is that why I can't see it in TWRP, because it's not a zip file?

---------- Post added at 05:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------

Now I have no OS. I tried to copy the zip file of my LiquidSmooth back up from a week ago and still no room on the device.

[MENTION=912474]Dees_Troy[/MENTION] when will proper encryption be included for pattern unlock on nexus 6
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] purian23:
Hopefully you've figured this out by now. But you're not bricked, it's hard work to brick a Nexus :)

Install the SDK Tools if you haven't and set it up for adb/fastboot. Power off your device, hold vol down and power so you're into fastboot mode. Make sure you're in your SDK Tools Directory and type in command windows fastboot devices ... if it shows you're device you're good. Then download the stock 5.1 image from here and follow the steps outlined here.

Good Luck

Thanks. I ended up getting it back to stock (5.1) using Nexus Root Toolkit.

Touch Input does not work

Hi guys,

any idea why the touch input does not work with TWRP and my Shamu? So I cannot type in the encryption password. I cannot use twrp without the touchpanel working at all.

The touch panel works with the system, of course...

Thanks for your help
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] danarama:
Read the options carefully when you're wiping. Swipe to factory reset is what you want.

Okay it works now. No idea why. What I did: Booted into the system. Rebooted into fastboot, installed TWRP the 4th time --> works ;)

Selecting recovery is for recovery images, boot is for boot images (aka kernels). If you are installing twrp, selecting recovery is correct.

Flashify worked fine
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] TheySaidWhat?!:
This recovery is FAN-TAS-TIC!!! I've enjoyed my 1st experience on the Nexus brand ( with the N6 ) and went from using android studios on win7 , to an awesome Nexus toolkit by wug, to TWRP - my 1st custom recovery! And it's the ultimate "push of a button" experience for a casual /intermediate flasher such as myself!

I like to think I've aquired a vocabulary of choice words but once in a while when I'm impressed I'll have nothing to say but.... WOW! Google needs to learn from the team at TWRP! Back in Nov. when I pre ordered the N6 I never saw myself managing partitions /software easily and carefully from the device itself. Now, I'll never manage my device any other way again!

If I would've only known there was this much awesome to be had via the gateway that's XDA, I would've joined way before Dec. But better late than never :)

Agreed, sternly worded responses that instruct users to search first, and that the so-called stupid question added to the post count, all without answering the original question or even providing guidance, all whilst the response adds to the post count, seems ridiculous to me, a dev excepted I suppose.

In general I've found that if one feels a question has been asked repeatedly and still feels compelled to answer, there are ways to do so without denigrating a user or the thread in the process. A neutrally worded answer, bereft of judgment, but sufficient for guiding someone into doing some of the work themselves is far more productive than just ripping into someone.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] brizey:
Yep. A quick "I think the link is a few pages back" is helpful (what you are looking for is here), gets the message across (look for it yourself), and lets the thread move on (not much to add after that).

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Buletman:
This is normal, hence when you enter your decryption password, it states below it it successfully decrypted - at least, it's what I've always seen and I have had 0 issues. Hope this helps!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] michmeister:
What's the point of encryption. Only causes issues
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] purian23:
Not really, it works quite well. It only depends on your set up and how you want it. There's really adverse affects. Depends on what you're looking for.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] galaara98:
The point of encryption is if your phone gets stolen its significantly harder to read anything, including your TWRP backups (provided it shutsdown or reboots)

it isn't just a PIN or a pattern, an encrypted /data partition is Unreadable (without some great guesses at your PIN or lots of time) but a regular PIN is nothing (most android tools and recoveries can just ignore)

except i suppose to keep kids out.

mismatched partition

Hi,

I rooted my phone last night. But there is a problem with the recovery. I'm getting a mismatched partition size error in purple. Now I can't get past the fastboot screen because of it, If I go into recovery. Twrp keeps flashing on and off. The blue logo screen.

How long does it take from the time a new version gets released until it's able to be updated through the TWRP app?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Prack:
Usually it's right away but the file is on a new server so the app dev needs to update the app. Once the app is pointed to the new location it should be available.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] purian23:
Sorry I didn't read far enough down that you were stuck in fastboot. Are you near a PC?

If so, you could do a few things here using fastboot and get your device going. Download the factory images from Google developers page and go that route. It'll tell you how to use fastboot methods.

At this point you need to format your device all over it sounds.

Run in terminal: fastboot format user data

Then install your custom recovery, the Twrp.img file, then boot.img, system.img and you should be okay. There's a few sites that'll tell you step by step how to use fastboot commands. Hopefully you can get to a PC.
