Security is something general. There are many posts with visions and ideas about unlocked bootloader.

My idea is that you are the main risk.

Loosing your phone with an unlocked bootloader makes it possible to see/steal your data.

With a locked bootloader and a custom rom you may not be able to recover from a bootloop.

So when you have important data and/or fear other people look at your data don't unlock the bootloader and root your phone.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TonikJDK:
So, since it is going to be asked any second now.

Yes 2.1.9 works with the nougat factory images that just dropped. You will probably have to reinstall your adb drivers after the flash and before you flash root and recovery. Just follow the in app instructions for removal and install. Other than that it is exactly the same.

Root and twrp work just fine.

Help! My updated Win 10 doesn't recognize my Shamu. Always worked in past, but I did just update Win for Gears 4. Now when I bring up connect new device after plugging in USB (in the past Win recognizes Nexus 6 as soon as I plug in) it finds my phone as Shamu but says there's no profile for it anymore. Likewise I can't find Nexus in my device list to try and update drivers. Pre thanks for pointing my dumb@ss in the right direction.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] The Doctor04:
On my device you have to change it to PTP for Windows 10 to recognize it

android 7 on nrt yet with the no force encrypt boot image? Thanks guys
[Nexus 6 Android Development] beepsilver:
Good question. Anyone completed the upgrade to Nougat yet and can tell those of us waiting in the wings whether or not the NRT supports the No Force Encrypt option for Nougat? TonikJDK posted last week that Nougat is supported by NRT, so this is a separate question.

Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Prack:
I used the no force encrypt with android 7.0. Working great, no issues.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] info[]box1:
Thank God for this tool. Every time a Rom re write my recovery and the Rom doesn't have a built root to side load a recovery image.

Time for Wug's Nexus tool kit.. yes
[Nexus 6 Android Development] beepsilver:
Thanks Prack--used the kit to update to NBD90Z without any problems whatsoever. I'm using a unlocked/rooted Verizon Nexus 6. I'd been updating Marshmallow using the NRT for a long while now without wiping data, so this was a little more involved even with restoring app data with Titanium Backup. Did not have to reinstall ADB drivers or anything unusual.

Can someone confirm that this program works for them on Win 10? I have the newest Windows update on my PC, and it doesn't recognize my N6. The program did work when I first installed Windows 10…
[Nexus 6 Android Development] brockn1985:
Works on Win 10 with the newest update. (Nexus 7)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TonikJDK:
Ok on two of mine with the latest win 10.

Hit the toolkit and look at the driver set up section. Follow those directions to remove the old stuff and reinstall the newest drivers.

But first, try a couple different cables.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
You need to delete and reinstall your drivers for your PC to recognize your N6. I have a win 10 laptop and use it with my N6 and Pixel C with no problems.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] HdMsTrTeCh:
Thanks for all your help everyone. TonikJDK hit the nail. The USB cable I was using......bad. In my home of phones they get abused and swapped all the time, I just didn't think my N6 cable was exchanged/dysfunctional. All is well as I'm running some Noug now! I love this program thanks Wug!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Harleydroid:
Since the new Google phone's aren't a nexus device will the pixel phone's be supported with the toolkit?

Thinking about getting the pixel xl.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] The Doctor04:
Waaaaaay to early to even tell. Verizon Pixel's will have a locked bootloader. There isn't any idea of root is even obtainable. TWRP or Philz has yet to say they can make a flashable recovery. We will have to wait to see if development is even going to happen on what most believe will be a locked down device

I have been running custom ROMs on my Nexus 6 since I got it at release. Now I want to run Android Pay but you not only have to be fully stock, you also have to have a locked bootloader. Using NRT 2.1.9 I restored to stock (latest Android N) but I cannot get the bootloader to lock. I can not use the manual method because the command to enable OEM lock is greyed out and the automatic method does not work for me. Can anyone help?

Android Nougat 7.1.1

Hi [MENTION=3110798]WugFresh[/MENTION] and thank you very much for this incredible tool! :D

I just wanted to ask you: I know that you're very busy but, since the November builds have not been added in the program, will the NRT support Nougat 7.1.1, which will be released between Monday and Tuesday? :)

Thank you very much in advance! ;)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Prack:
Does anyone know where the OTA for the November update downloads to? It's taking up 859.1 mb and I do not want to update and want to reclaim that space. I've searched all over my device and find no fota files etc. I wiped my cache folder and it still shows as downloaded and ready to install.

Nexus 6 (SHAMU) 7.1.1 (N6F26Q, Jan 2017)

Factory Images for Nexus 6 (SHAMU) 7.1.1 (N6F26Q, Jan 2017) are available at:

https://developers.google.com/android/images?hl=en

Down loaded the latest factory OTA image and used NRT advanced utilities launch tools to side load OTA update via recovery. Installed perfectly, but did not notice any significant changes from last update. Enjoy!

"Any build" method not working for root on Nexus 6 (SHAMU) 7.1.1 (N6F26Q, Jan 2017)

After clean installing Nougat 7.1.1, I've tried to root my Nexus 6 with the "Any build" method, but it doesn't work (pending on "Sending root files on the device" or something similar), so, please [MENTION=3110798]WugFresh[/MENTION], we need you to update the masterlists (especially for people like me who don't use TWRP and they just need it to flash the root) :crying:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] turbo23:
Does the program still allow root access on 7.1.1? Im ready to flash as soon as it is confirmed...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MariuxReloaded:
Yes, it is, but not for our device, not yet, that's why we need the new masterlists by [MENTION=3110798]WugFresh[/MENTION] :(

Since I needed it urgently, I managed to root my Nexus 6 with Nougat 7.1.1 through this manual method, which is the same one used by WugFresh in the NRT when you want to root your device without flashing TWRP recovery:

Step 1: Unlock the bootloader;

fastboot oem unlock

This WILL wipe your device. Skip if already unlocked. Set up your device and put SuperSU.zip into it.

Step 2: Download the appropriate TWRP/CWM image for your device.

Step 3: Boot your phone into bootloader;

adb reboot bootloader

while the device is on or hold the power button and the volume down button while the device is off.

Step 4: Make sure your device is detected by fastboot;

fastboot devices

Step 5: Temporarily Boot into recovery;

fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img

This will only boot the recovery, not install it.

Step 6: Flash the .zip file using the recovery and reboot.

You will have stock recovery and root access.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
I sideloaded the 7.1.1 update yesterday. My speaker no longer works for media and phone calls, although I can get sound through a headset or bluetooth. Called google, they said it's a known issue with 7.1.1 on the Pixell phones. Any problem with the media through the phone or speaker?

Working with stock kernel. I have not been able to flash Ex 4.16 or Su 279 SR2 due to bootloops. I think it is something to do with my phone or recovery.

I'm getting one of these on Sunday. It's Verizon branded. I see that tho makes no difference because they are all the same. Is that correct?

I'm going to Tmobile.

Also, I can use this tool to unlock any bootloader this phone has and install twrp as well, is this also correct.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tc0566:
Ok the tool is refusing to flash recovery,, checks all drivers says success..boots into bootloader says flashing recovery but won't boot into recovery . Manually booting shows it still has stock recovery..Any ideas why? NVM seems the first time it downloaded twrp it must have been corrupt..deleated it restarted and it downloaded and flashed ok
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
The image size of Twrp-recovery is 11,4 Mb, flashing a bad download will cause issues.

Check the size and try flashing the IMG without the toolkit and PC.

The app Flashfire is able to flash the (correct) image of Twrp-recovery​.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] HipKat:
I should have gone into more detail. If you d/l the image file from https://developers.google.com/android/images when you open NRT and try to update, it'll ask you if you have an image. Browse to the one you d/l'd and flash away. You don't need all those file individually.

As for Encrypted, I still don't buy that it makes any difference.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] turbo23:
I have never given any care about running unencrypted. I wanted to follow up that after using wugs program to flash stock May update and losing root...it took all of ten minutes to get it back with his Cool toolset. I know, I should adb files to phone blah, blah. I have done that many times before. But as long as you understand what you are doing, windows computers can flash phones just fine.

Usually, when I flashed different version of 6.0.1 I did it in this way:

1. Download firmware from official page https://developers.google.com/android/images#shamu

2. Run NRT, choose Flash Stock + Unroot (because my Nexus6 rooted and unencrypted), check No Wipe Mode(so my phone will keep all soft and information) and choose downloaded image.

3. After flashing choose Root and Unencrypt again.

Did this algorithm will work one more last time (this is the end of support of our phone) ?
