For what it is worth - having read about the storage problem after loading factory image, I skipped through initial phone setup and checked storage - which was 23gigs. Powered off, booted into recovery, wiped cache and did factory reset. Reboot and had 64gigs showing - saved a setup.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
You can load the image yourself, it's easy.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RandoTheKing:
Ok, how?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
I am on the road, will walk you through it once I am in front of the PC. You can find the image here.

Do i need TWRP for this. My phone also shows 23 gigs available? Can anyone help me fix this...I just got a 64gb nexus 6

---------- Post added at 06:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 PM ----------

how do i get into recovery, here is what i did so far

I unlocked bootloader

installed 6.0

ran initial setup - checked storage- shows 23gb

booted into recovery mode - See android red exclamation :(

I dont have TWRP installed, do i need to do that. How do i get my 64gb storage back, sorry its been a while since i did all of this and have completely forgotten everything. Should i use the toolkit to install TWRP?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] droidstyle:
you need to flash back to stock recovery and factory reset. 64gb models tend to get a corrupted internal storage when flashing the user.data part of the system.img. not sure if wugs toolkit give you that option to skip, I am new to Nexus stuff. However I ran into your same issue and again factory reset from stock recovery fixed the issue.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] trooper1414:
but that would send me back to lollipop. Isn't thr not a fix?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TonikJDK:
Not yet. At this point you have to flash one of the custom kernels that support root and SU via TWRP. There is an update being tested for SU that may solve the custom kernel issue. I am going to hold off a few days and see how that shakes out.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fuzz_33594:
The figure shows you are in Stock Recovery. That is what you want. Select power button and press volume up once. You will see the menu. Use volume key to navigate to wipe cache and power button to select. Then select factory reset and hit power button (wipes phone - do a backup first, unless you want a clean slate). You should then show 64 gigs in storage.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
No wipe and root work on NRT. However, apps fc since they al must be updated to official 6.0. Better to do a full wipe and let Google restore with updated apps.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] droidstyle:
[QRCODE][/QRCODE]

x2...I'm going to set back and let the bugs get ironed out.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
Yes you need TWRP

---------- Post added at 02:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------

Correct, back to stable 5.1.1
[Nexus 6 Android Development] zero100101:
Download factory img>root it using wugs NRT >format data on twrp then I downloaded lightrom n install it on twrp then I got rooted without the corrupt message :D

Flash at ur own risk it works for me so good luck
[Nexus 6 Android Development] trooper1414:
sorry to sound confused, but if i want to stay at 6.0 and also have my 64gb, all i need to do is install TWRP and boot into TWRP and wipe cache and factory reset (after exiting TWRP and booting it back up)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jamiejames:
You can use tool kit just select the soft brick option and it will boot into fastboot for you. Bricked mine twice. Works like a charm.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RandoTheKing:
I already tried that, fastboot fails on the fastboot devices command
[Nexus 6 Android Development] yhrn:
I'm not expecting anything. That is exactly why I asked if no wipe had worked for anybody. And I even said that otherwise I will hold off on upgrading so I don't really need to be told to do that.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
This 6.0 has been a hit or miss with the toolkit, more miss than hit, will stay on 5.1.1 until everything is sorted out, no rush, 5.1.1 is running fine for me, and 6.0 just caused me headaches.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Pecata:
I have upgraded from stock, rooted 5.1.1 to 6.0 without wiping user data and I have 0 issues. Everything works as intended and I have to force closings or errors. Battery life is better than Lollipop for sure.

I know it is recommended to clear user data when upgrading to a major release like that but since I am waiting on my Nexus 6P I decided to try it without wiping and see if it works...(did not want to setup my device from scratch twice).

So to answer your question-it works and no wipe is needed-at least not every time ...Like I said I was running stock just rooted...so unless you had any heavy modifications to your phone done-I think you should be just fine.

As always-backup your important files first in case something goes wrong.

I use NRT to do the upgrade...but you can use the manual method as well.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
I also updated with no wipe from 5.1.1 to 6.0 with no issues, but the issues happened when I rooted, my Nexus 6 would constantly reboot and update all the apps, and when it was done it would give me an error message telling me to wipe the device and start from scratch "which I did", not going through that time consuming nightmare again.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] thoetherguy:
Did a simple back up , made sure bootloader was unlocked , full wipe , flashed factory images , works just fine ... Now to tinker with root
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
Like I said loading 6.0 was not the issue with no wipe, the issue is root.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fuzz_33594:
Deleted.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] andreak:
I updated right now, everything works great, always a pleasure to use this tool...great job
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fuzz_33594:
Did you allow TWRP to alter the partitions?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] zero100101:
If ur asking the first time u flash TWRP it will ask u to swipe to allow modification, then yes......

Flash factory img using NRT > then root and install TWRP, then follow the instruction install SuperSU ,busybox, etc.. >system reboot > u will see the corrupt message put ur phone down n it will boot after 5-10 minutes , >download LightRom M ,copy it on otg or micro SD card > go back on TWRP , format data , type yes then swipe , > install LightRom M then reboot no more corrupt message ,that exactly how I did on my phone :)...

Sorry for my bad English :D
[Nexus 6 Android Development] JimSmith94:
How did you root? I thought that wasn't working with the stock kernel.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fuzz_33594:
Excellent. Thanks for the quick response.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] droidstyle:
obviously you did or else you would not of asked the question. either way no biggie, enjoy your day.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] pas7771:
I like to stay on stock but like to rooted.. so I will wait for the fix to come soon..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jurvyx:
i had that problem after upgrading to 6.0

you need to run factory reset from stock recovery

turn off phone

volume down+power

in bootloader screen choose boot to recovery

after you get android with red exclamation point press volume up and power

you will get menu in recovery

chose factory reset and wait about 15 minutes

then chose reeboot

boom -> 64 gb back:angel:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Dani26:
This toolkit is AWESOME. Thanks! 5 minutes to Unlock and Root my new Nexus 6. Incredible.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] lamjanus:
So it can be used to install M, root and use twrp from within the tool? Otherwise i use it to make it stock 6.0.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] moraytadroidz:
Yes, i used to it install stock m, root and install twrp with no issue.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bigup7:
when you say "Put ur phone down n it will boot after 5-10 minutes ,"

is it blank screen or wil lit be doing something? ive just used WUG tool and im getting the error message then black screen...should i wait 5-10 mins?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GPS3:
Are we still waiting for the new stable SuperSU for Android 6.0 root? There is a lot going on in this thread. Hard to tell. I see there is a work around, but I'd rather wait for the 'proper' root via Wug NRT. Thanks.

EDIT: Looks like we are still waiting: http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/1...eta-still-requires-a-modified-kernel-for-now/
[Nexus 6 Android Development] chipis:
Nexus Toolkit had been updated, I used it to root M stock rom
[Nexus 6 Android Development] zero100101:
Yes just leave it, that happen to my phone too :D so I ended up turn off my phone went back to twrp I format data n erased everything on my phone n downloaded ligthrom n copied it on my micro SD card plug otg on my phone then reboot reboot recovery n install Lightrom
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jamiejames:
Does it still have the stock kernel after rooting? Just curious.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GPS3:
No.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/1...eta-still-requires-a-modified-kernel-for-now/
[Nexus 6 Android Development] russlowe73:
Define "Proper". The last few pages of this thread are a joke. The purpose of the toolkit is for ease of use, not a reason for people not to educate themselves on how to do things without it. The root process out now for MM is " proper". You flash the modified boot image, flash SuperSU 2.50, root accomplished. Isn't rocket science.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
Let's hope Android is not turning into another Apple.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bambamishere:
Kinda looks that way.lol
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Yasharkhan:
yeah it is a shame really, what is the use of having an android phone if we cant root it and actually play around with it
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TonikJDK:
What is everyone worried about. No, the tool wont root it right now but it is easily rooted, just flash the modified kernel and then the new SU.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Sieber101:
On my stock n6 on 6.0 I used toolkit to install twrp and push root files, but did not root. Then used twrp from device to install elementalx 3.01 and supersu 3.51 beta. No modified boot image. All my root apps are working smooth so far. Thanks wug.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jamiejames:
2 people have said the toolkit is updated. Should be able to install twrp and root.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GPS3:
I put "proper" in quotes to insinuate a lack of a better word.

What I mean is: is there a way to use Wug's NRT to automatically root (for noobs) 6.0 by clicking "Root". From what I can tell there isn't. The only way is to manually flash a modified boot image and a SuperSU beta.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jamiejames:
Should be able to now. Try it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] DannyBiker:
I flashed the stock 6.0 image downloaded through this tool and my 64GB Nexus 6...became a 32GB ! I only see the amount of free space I'd see with a 32GB !

Any idea on what happened ? All went well and I did a full wipe...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TonikJDK:
I see nothing to that effect from Wug's twitter account or his website. I don't know what they did or how they did it...so I am not willing to go that route. Especially when I fire up the toolkit and it does not update anything since he added 6.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
I think a factory reset is necessary.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ANDYx1975:
Just do a factory reset... Using factory images is always reducing your memory... After a reset You will have 64gb again
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jamidodger1:
Just tried myself, although 6.0 MRA58K has been added to the list when I tried rooting + installing custom recovery my phone tried booting the modified boot.img and ended up booting with read only system and data partitions causing a lot of apps to force close just by unlocking the screen. A restart fixed it (boot normally without a modified boot.img) but seems although the wug method does not work currently.

Edit: Well I tried again without recovery selected, it got further. Flashed the usual zips then ended up with the new caution screen that the OS had been modified. Then it went to black and stayed like it. Had to reflash System partition although now it still has the caution notice at each boot. And no root. sigh
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Hosehead:
Wait...I just did a complete flash of MRA58K stock image and installed half my apps, and you are telling me I need to factory reset and start from scratch to get my 64GB back?

Argh.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ANDYx1975:
Yes You ned... Sorry man
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TonikJDK:
Yes. Very common. You also may have to reflash the user partirion. But an fdr fixes most phones.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
Why don't people just listen, there is no root yet, just wait.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] russlowe73:
There is root, just not in the toolkit.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tykalx:
is it possible that i use the toolkit to flash the new image, then root through the process being used now?

I just did everything it says and still nothing Im stuck in fast-boot... it sees the phone on device manager as android device + Android Bootloader Interface. when i tried to do anything else it says device not found.. Been without a phone now for a full day...:(

Is there a way to bypass the fastboot? i also see this red message on the top in red "AP Fastboot Flash Mode (secure)" is that normal?:confused:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bambamishere:
Might try different usb port,cable,del all drivers and start over,
[Nexus 6 Android Development] buxtor:
Awesome! I'm assuming this will work for AT&T models as well as the rest?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wtherrell:
In this case you may assume with out the usual dire consequences.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
Startover

What exactly are you doing with your phone? You only use fastboot to flash something. You're in your bootloader interface if you're seeing AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure)

You initially unlocked your phone and attempted to decrypt it. Are you getting bootloops?

I have no idea what you're running into, but best to just start fresh!

Back to Stock>Soft-Bricked/Bootloop on NRT
[Nexus 6 Android Development] springer.music:
Thanks.

Just a heads up: Chainfire has just released SuperSU 2.35 on the PlayStore.

Will this be included in v1.9.9?

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Xyyd:
I have done a factory reset, restored back to stock, wiped everything but yet my 64 gb is still only showing 23gb avail.

---------- Post added at 08:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 PM ----------

Just updated to 1.99 and attempted the built in option for no force encryption and it worked perfectly!!! Thank you so much. Also it fixed my Storage issue now showing 54 gb free.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] saddog5523:
How do you do the built in option for no force encryption? I've downloaded the new version, I just don't see it. I guess I'm looking over it.

Edit: Nevermind, I found it. I'm guessing the correct process from stock would be: remove encryption, unlock, root, recovery?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] orlzzt:
And forgive my ignorance, but if you are already unlocked/rooted with NRT, is there a way to use 1.99 solely to disable encryption?

Sent from my Nexus 6 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wtherrell:
^^^^^^

This!

???
[Nexus 6 Android Development] saddog5523:
This is me speaking without expert knowledge, but I read in the main remove encryption thread that you can flash the 'disable encryption' at any time. So you should just be able to flash it using the tool in 1.99 and it not mess with your root/unlock. I think I remember reading that when you wipe userdata to disable encryption, it will not mess up root since the phone sees it as a system app (or something like that). Ugh.. I'm going to have to go back a read the other thread and find that unless someone more knowledgeable beats me to it. :p I'm a bit cautious and usually go the extra mile to make sure I don't mess up, so I would suggest just going through the whole process again. Lol. I know it kind of sucks, but using this tool makes it so silly simple.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] WugFresh:
Ok everyone. :)

v1.9.9 is up and live.

To use the no-force encrypt, go to advanced utilities > Fastboot Flash > Boot > 'No-Force Encypt' button.

The changelog for this release is kinda massive; http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/changelog/

Have a happy thanksgiving everyone. Cheers.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 6 Android Development] saddog5523:
What would the correct process from stock be? No-force encrypt, unlock bootloader, root, then custom recovery? I appreciate the hard work! I have been waiting to modify from stock until you had a lazy solution to removing encryption. :good:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] WugFresh:
1. Unlock Bootloader

2. Root (and you can check 'Custom Recovery' under the root button to do that in one step).

3. No-Force Encrypt

Cheers,

I'm unlocked and unencrypted(was rooted, but lost it unencrypting). Is there a way to just get root back?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] russlowe73:
Yes
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jamiejames:
Yeah I tried it. Same thing. Not sure why some people said it worked because it does not. Just want to say thanks to the people that are wasting other people's time by posting false statements.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
In beta form, no thanks.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] russlowe73:
Advice, if the only way for you to mod your phone is if its in the toolkit, then don't buy a nexus.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
Like I said, beta =no thanks, nothing to do with the toolkit, don't need the toolkit, but I also like to have a problem free device, which it is at the moment with 5.1.1, have a great day.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] yankeesfan714:
I can't believe all the problems and uncertainty going on in this forum. If you do not know how to flash a modified boot img, recovery, or a kernel you should not be messing with your phone.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
You are in the wrong forum, have a nice day.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] yankeesfan714:
It doesn't get any easier than using a toolkit.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] clothednblack:
Happens every time there is a big new candy bar out for the taking, nerves take over and we sometimes forget it's just as easy as it's always been with this kit here to help. This will happen again ?

Let's not be rude, it's not helpful. Thanks

If it did, we would still see problems lol
[Nexus 6 Android Development] yankeesfan714:
I'm not being rude. At all. I come here to see if there's any updates to the toolkit and have to sift thru 10 pages of the same questions over and over. Gets old is all. Sorry if I came off as rude.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] clothednblack:
Unfortunately, every thread that has anything to do with 6.0 is now on balls to the wall status and we just have to deal with it, I get it, a thread I'm pretty active in is now just a place I glance at so I don't fall to far behind when I see what I'm waiting for.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
When you have M-stock and TWRP recovery you can transfer a zip with custom rom like JDX 4.0 to the internal storage. Reboot recovery and in TWRP do a factory reset and flash the rom.zip.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] l3uddz:
So I'm still on android 5.0.2 on my nexus 6,unlocked rooted running Pure. I would like to go to stock 6.0 if possible without root, is it possible to do this currently using the toolkit? I remember there being people bricking their 6 with the 5.1 update so never bothered, but now would like to put stock 6.0 so I can pass phone to family member and use the 6p when it's out.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Tower1972:
Personally the toolkit did NOT work for me so I had to flash everything manually. I tried it with the img downloaded from Google, and with the img in the dropdown box. Ran both, had the missing system img error each time, and it flashed nothing. Manual worked first time, aside from the red caution box after installing TWRP and letting it access what it needed to on the first screen. Was running Nocturnal sinless rom before this
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
Yes you can update to 6.0 with no problems with Wug's toolkit, root is another story.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] chipis:
Yeap i did root with NRT, but it would have to do it manual to root it. it would show you that to flash after
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hifiaudio2:
After using the toolkit to download and flash 6.0, all I get is the Google icon and a lock symbol at the bottom. Phone sits there forever unless I go into recovery mode, but still doesnt boot. Should I try flashing back to 5.1.1?

I am far from a phone expert, but I have successfully used to toolkit to flash the last 3 or 4 Lollipop updates and then root. It was always successful until now.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
The first that is needed that your phone works again. So when you're comfortable with wug's toolkit you could do that,
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hifiaudio2:
OK I put 5.1.1 back on and it seems to be working... maybe I will just leave it at that until root works for 6.0. Before coming here to ask my question I didn't know root wasn't out in the toolkit for 6.0 anyway.

I only updated because my phone seems to be stuck on 3g after coming back from a vacation and I thought this might fix it. It didnt.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Upgrade without toolkit is an alternative when already rooted and TWRP recovery is installed.

Look at the OP of the JDX thread.

Best method I think is:

Flash first M-Bootlader and M-Radio.

Than in TWRP wipe cache/factory reset. Flash a custom rom like JDX 4.0.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mikegrmn:
I used the toolkit last night to flash stock and unroot. Worked well. After this, you need a factory reset if you have a device other than the 32 gb model, unless you don't mind only having 23 gb left to play with. Back up important files before factory reset. It'll wipe the device. You'll also need your account information associated with the device (Google password and login). It asked for it sure the process.

To root the device after getting stock installed, download latest latest SuperSU and a kernel that allows rooting so you have the files available when you need them.

Here's what I did:

Get the files

Start toolkit

Select the add custom recovery and root in toolkit

It'll install twrp and gets stuck because stock kernel doesn't root yet

Unhook phone from computer

Press power and volume down

Select recovery and Wait for twrp to boot

Hook up phone to computer

Move SuperSU and kernel to a folder you can remember

Select install in twrp

Find your files

Flash kernel first

Flash SuperSU second (no reboot required in between)

Reboot phone

Done

For some stuff to work (kernel tweaking) , get busybox

Sounds maybe complicated, but was actually easy like cake.
