[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
The unlocking or relocking is done with a command. In both cases the data is wiped.

Do not relock if you want to flash ROM, kernel and/or the monthly updates and keep you data.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TonikJDK:
No, it does not. Root and recovery are gone but it is still unlocked.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jerryatherton:
I am confused, why would you have to flash the factory image if you are current with the OTAs'?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] grgana:
good point...well I was wondering since OTA update is just part (patch) of factory.img..is it valid for rooting and taking nand.backup or it would be better to flash whole factory image and then root and take nandroid backup...:confused:

(for example majority of OTA is just around 20 mb...while whole system is around 800mb..)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Ii tried to explain that you do not need to flash a factory image when you are planning to flash a custom ROM.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] grgana:
yeap thanx ..but would like to take nandroid backup of stock only rooted img with twrp before flashing custom rom ..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
I always make a backup with twrp before flashing a new version or different ROM. Just in case....

I used to make a full backup, but since I use the lite ROM of Danvdh I only backup the data partition. Directly after the backup I flash monthly the latest version of Danvdh's lite ROM, that ROM has all I need, incl root.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] grgana:
thanx, i dowloaded his rom, for yust in case,

the only thing is, with my n5&n4 i used to backup stock rooted rom..like some security if something goes wrong..or when new android version come up like android 7.0(N) i can move to pure stock, with less chances of corrupted partitions for example..maybe im just to carefull and make fool of my self.

please dont get me wrong, the thing is its going to be a long time before i will be able to buy me a new device..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
That's OK.

When you have TWRP and a zip-file with a prerooted rom you only need to backup the data partition. Because everything else you need is in the zip.

Concerning Android N: I'll wait till there is a final version. I do not trust Google. They remove and add stuff randomly.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] HipKat:
Yep yep. I just finally updated to the newest image yesterday and it stayed unlocked. I had forgotten.

BTW, kept getting mismatch when checking the file so I had to manually d/l it to flash it
[Nexus 6 Android Development] grgana:
Ok one more question, should i boot up after unlock, or install TWRP and superSu instantly?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TonikJDK:
I would boot up. I always like to verify that each step went ok.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Holysmoke99:
I had to flash stock and unroot with wugfresh. It now has stock MMB29V. Root option is not working like it did in past builds. is wugfresh able to root the latest build?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
Why did you unroot in the first place. And the latest build has nothing to do with being able to root and unlock your device, follow the steps as posted in Wug's toolkit, you should not have any issues unlocking and rooting your device. I use the Pure Nexus ROM after unlocking and rooting my Nexus 6 using Wug's toolkit.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] HipKat:
the best way to root is to run UNsu and then flash the newest version of SU in recovery.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Trina9:
Unrooted this morning, very quick and easy. Took more time to set up computer to recognize phone.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NOSTALGIA:
i did flash the factory image for mmb29v and rooted it last time i went on stock with root. it worked for me.. not sure how you were doing the process

but currently im on full stock without root. so cant tell..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
I get this message when I reboot "your device software can't be checked for errors, please lock your bootloader", anyone else get this.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Pecata:
Yes, that is normal.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
I only get this message on my Nexus 5X not on my Nexus 6, is it maybe do to the fingerprint sensor on the 5X.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Pecata:
I get it on my Nexus 6P as well. Did bot get it on my Nexus 6 either. Google changed the bootloader on the new Nexus devices as far as I know...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cyberon:
MMB29X image is up, waiting for the unencrypted boot image [MENTION=3110798]WugFresh[/MENTION]. Thanks in advance. ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Pecata:
New factory images for 6P and 5X MHC19Q with April security patches are up as well.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nunjabusiness:
Man, that worked so well it is almost scary.

Nexus 6 freshly updated to MMB29V and no sim installed yet.

NRT did the root and custom recovery so fast and smooth it was amazing. Many thanks for this fantastic tool!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
MMB29V is the March security update.The current build is 29X.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TonikJDK:
To add to the above, in a few days Wug will update the NRT to have the April version. Or you can download it directly from Google and have NRT use that. Google. 'Nexus 6 factory images' and it will be the first hit.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cyberon:
Feature request [MENTION=3110798]WugFresh[/MENTION], is it possible to add a feature to NRT so it woul take the factory image and unencrypt the boot image so we don't have to wait for you to update it?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Pecata:
You can create your own - it's not hard http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61015828&postcount=902
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cyberon:
Already knew that, but i have a bunch of Nexii on my family and having that incorporated on the Toolkit would make it much easier and fast.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jafarakbari09:
Is not there any update to NRT ? I Think Wug work on NRT For N preview... ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Long Island NOOBIE:
6.0.1 (mob30d)

There is a second APRIL factory image available for Nexus 6 "shamu" devices: 6.0.1 (MOB30D).

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en#shamu
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jafarakbari09:
What is that?! Is that N preview 2?! View attachment 3715935
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NOSTALGIA:
no
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jafarakbari09:
Its official ? The Second April update image for our shamu, Its 0.98 GB. What Could it be?!?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Long Island NOOBIE:
Mm-6.0.1 (mob30d)

Last month saw a number of critical vulnerabilities come into light and Google had mentioned that there might be a second update pushed out in March. It looks like they decided to just hold out for the April rollout. The changes that we were expecting with that secondary update are included in this one. Six critical issues have been resolved, as well as thirteen high priority issues that had some security experts concerned.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] smclaughlin3:
Is the D build unencrypted boot img up yet? Thanks!!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Brian706:
Nope, MMB29X hasn't even been added yet. I was just in the NRT checking to see if that update was available and then I saw on the Nexus factory images page that there's already another update.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
Can I use NRT with my Pixel C?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Brian706:
No, not currently. I don't know if Wugfresh is planning on supporting it at some point or not, but to be fair, the Pixel C isn't a Nexus. And from what I've read about it, until it boots up to Android, it's pretty much a Chromebook/ChromeOS in every way, so I'd imagine it wouldn't be a simple task to just add it to the list.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
That's so wrong. Pixel C is definitely a NEXUS!

It uses the The same Android N builds as the N6.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] westers035:
Anyone know if it's possible to use NRT on N preview 2? Tried it a couple of times using the any build as N release 2 isn't in the list and both times failed to root properly.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
DL SuperSU 2.71. Use NRT to boot into recovery, then flash SuperSU 2.71.zip
[Nexus 6 Android Development] westers035:
I get the no command screen when in recovery.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
Did you boot into TWRP (Custom Recovery) .
[Nexus 6 Android Development] westers035:
I tried to, looks like it is on the phone and then nothing. I have also tried to boot into recovery on the phone via Vol-+ power and get no command message also.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
Let's see if we can go step by step. 1. Put phone in bootloader mode and connect to your computer running Wug's NRT.

2. Press button at Lowe left hand corner that says Advanced or Advanced Utilities. Then press Boot Custom Recovery.

Press yes, and you will boot into TWRP Recovery 3.0.0.1

4. Flash away. Profit!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bbdaines:
Good Morning, I was wondering if anyone has an idea of when the new Master-list is going to be released?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jafarakbari09:
I Think Wug Work on N Toolkit ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] meldroc:
Just tried running NRT to flash MOB30D on my Nexus 6 (shamu).

Got the message: "No-force encrypt boot.img for this android release is not yet available in the toolkit. Wait for WugFresh to update the masterlists, or start the flash stock procedure over again without the 'no-force encrypt' feature enabled.

C'MON, SHOW US SOME LOVE ALREADY! These are serious security holes we need to patch!

[Nexus 6 Android Development] NOSTALGIA:

[Nexus 6 Android Development] bbdaines:
So... since the masterlist isn't done, what is the real difference with encrypted and not encrypted? This is not a big deal except I keep getting the nag to update the phone.. thanks, bd
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TonikJDK:
Unencrypted is only worth it if you are opening or transferring large files, and then it is minimal. There will also be a slight difference when you boot up. Since 6 came out it is much better.

Others will disagree I suspect. Hopefully one will have their say and the rest of us can let it go at that so we don't get too off topic. There are a fair number of threads about this that may be worth reading.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Prack:
Anyone know how to manually update to the latest without encryption? My phone has been spamming me and I suspect taking up space for the actual download for a few weeks now. I'm able to do everything manually I'm just not sure how to get the unencrypted boot image.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] aoaleman:
Here's an unecrypted boot image for MOB30D:

I don't know how to this manually, I am guessing there are directions but I don't even know the question to search and ask?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] aoaleman:
Are you already decrypted/not encrypted? If so, simply flash using fastboot:

fastboot flash boot "filename.img".

[Nexus 6 Android Development] NOSTALGIA:
if he is busy he may not be able to include latest stock on the toolkit.

good thing you can just download them on develoopers.google.com

Did you check the permission for these apps ?

[Nexus 6 Android Development] WugFresh:
Hey guys - if anyone is running N-preview 2 with an unlocked bootloader - could use help testing a file on Nexus 6 (shamu) [And nexus 9 if you have one of those too]. Should only take me 5min. Just shoot me a message on google hangouts - wugfresh @ gmail [or DM me with your gmail]
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Trina9:
Yes, and they are selected.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
It could be the Selinux status.

Terminal command: getenforce.

When the response is 'Enforcing' you need another kernel (permissive) or updates for the apps concerned.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Trina9:
Well, I'm going to flash Pure Nexus and Unicorn Blood kernel sometime soon.

Might be a problem with a stock kernel? I know about terminals but really have very little experience with them. Unless you call coding in DOS experience buy that was a long time ago.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
If you have a N6 with some issues and TWRP recovery you could flash a stock ROM first. Just to make sure everything is working.

Check the thread below it is a stock lite rom and prerooted.

None of these apps are old, they all have been updated this year. The version of SU I have is a Beta (2.71). Should I flash the newest stable version that I found (2.65)?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Trina9:

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Didgeridoohan:
Chainfire isn't talking about the apps not having been updated, just that they havent been properly updated. ES File Explorer is one of the known apps that has the paths to SU hardcoded. Therefore it won't work with SuperSU 2.71 unless you manually activate compatibility mode as described in the post i linked (or flash an older version of SuperSU). I assume the same is valid for the other two apps you mentioned...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TonikJDK:
BUT if you flash an older version of SU you will get the this device is corrupt message on boot.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Trina9:
Okay...

Now I'm totally confused.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TonikJDK:
The old versions of SU modify the system partition. As the phone boots it checks itself for a modded system partition. Unless you have a modified system partition that removes that check the phone will warn you as it boots up, saying it is corrupt and cant be trusted.

2.65 and up are 'systemless', they dont modify the system partition...so no error message.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Trina9:
Okay. Any suggestions on what to do next because flashing an older version of SU sounds like it's not going to work?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TonikJDK:
Stick with 2.71 and replace the apps that are not following the new root method or follow the directions linked to previously.

New to the Shamu. I saw that this toolkit supports Marshmallow so is it safe to assume that if my device already runs MOB301 that I can use this tool to unlock the bootloader and root my device and get TWRP?

File Location?

Anyone know the location of the update file on the Nexus 6 after installing it using NRT? I'm trying to free up some space and want to delete it if possible.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Play store: Ota snatcher could help you.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wtherrell:
Yes. Haven't tried it on my N6 but did just that on my Gnex.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] HipKat:
Yes, it works fine
[Nexus 6 Android Development] beepsilver:
I thought my previous post was a simple request--guess it's not. Where does the NRT store it's files on your phone? Anyone know the folder location?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] HueyT:
download folder on Windows 10 Home
[Nexus 6 Android Development] beepsilver:
Oh, so nothing is stored on the phone itself?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
NRT is an application for Windows PC/s.

After downloading you need to install in on a PC.

Further you need drivers for a connection via a USB-port.

If you don't know this, do not use NRT.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] beepsilver:
Thanks Mr High&Mighty. I think it's funny when people like you assume that just because some of us don't know how something works doesn't mean we don't know how to use it. Despite your attitude I appreciate the information--been using NRT over a year now.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] HipKat:
to answer your question, yes, in the readytoflash folder on your phone, NRT stores files like root, recovery etc.

Seems I misunderstood your posts. I assumed indeed you did not know the basic stuff. I really wanted to warn/help you.

In twrp you have to mount system first. Its on of the menu choices.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
Thanks, but I mounted System, in both 3.0.2 and in 3.0.0.1 Both fail to delete System App files. Both give an error message 1. I have also not been able to backup System in TWRP. It seems that my System folder is somehow locked to Read only. This is in spite of changing it to R/W in both Root Explorer and System Delete app. Not sure how to unlock it.

Edit: I think somhow, my System partition was Read Only.

Issue solved by reflashing N3 System and bootloader, re Rooting with 2.74 and EX 4.05 and setting System to Read/Write on initial TWRP 3.0.2 screen.

No force encrypt kernel does not work with the N dev preview 4. After flashing the kernel the phone does not boot up. It just boots into recovery. Any solution?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jmcorlett:
Once you've booted up for the first time, enable USB debugging and go back into the toolkit. Using the launch button, flash a zip. I flashed the elementalx kernel which removes force encrypt. Once you've loaded that you can then flash a recovery followed by SuperSU. You'll be no force encrypted and rooted.

So im on latest M unencrypted. If im not wrong i will loose encryption after installing N and then ill have to wipe data to encrypt again. please correct me if im wrong.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] DebianDog:
You are correct but I would argue running unencrypted is a total waste of time and effort as these days it brings so little to the table.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wazza1991:
I have noticed that the phone feels much smoother overall. Scrolling used to be laggy. But after unencrypting it's smooth. Overall the phone feels smooth when compared to encrypted
