Only when it's ready, and that's not today or even tomorrow so let's not ask for ETA's, let's just sit back and wait for the announcement that it's ready to go.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Milamber:
Thanks but this doesn't give me the date.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Nobody can. When it concerns dev's I have a metaphor 'do not disturb a nesting hen'
[Nexus 6 Android Development] russlowe73:
It doesn't matter anyway. Once Google releases them, you can still use the toolkit to flash them.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dave2metz:
Can't wait to get home so I can use Wug's Toolkit to get some Marshmallow on my Nexus 6!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Roscopcoletrain:
assuming its updated with it :p
[Nexus 6 Android Development] idb117:
As of right now I'm updating to 6.0, using WUG's.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] s2kpdx:
Let me know if it worked fine? Also, I assume no root for now?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] idb117:
It updated just fine... Figured I'd wait to try root. As after I updated, it doesn't recognize the official build. It shows as "any build"... Though I may be tempted to try root, I advise to wait.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rcrd-pt:
how did you do it? did you use nexus root toolkit?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] idb117:
yea
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GPS3:
"wipe" or "no-wipe mode"?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] idb117:
wipe
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
No wipe mode, no reason to wipe.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Ejames991:
Updating to M using Wugs works great! just successfully updated
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Pecata:
Did you wipe? Or did you use no-wipe mode?

I am planing on updating tonight after I come home from work, but I don't really want to wipe user data....

Have you rooted yet?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Ejames991:
I Wiped but I was ready for a fresh start, I had a ton of files/media that had built up over time that just needed to go. I have not rooted yet though.

EDIT: Also Just saw that selinux needs to be permissive to gain root access in M.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] stevew84:
How do you set selinux to permissive? I know that option is present in some custom ROM's but what about stock?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Ejames991:
I'm no expert and I'm sure someone will correct me but flashing a different kernel would probably do the job. There's probably another way though.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jamiejames:
Were you able to root with wugs after the kernel set to permissive? Lol I bricked mine trying it without doing that.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Ejames991:
I have not tried to root on M yet, I'm going to wait for an optimized method to come around
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jamiejames:
I think after that I'll be doing the same. Thanks for the response.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dpadaddict:
I flashed 6.0 today and tried to root it but after the root files were flashed it said that my device was corrupted and had to flash back stock without root. I'll wait for an official root

I have these, if anyone wishes to try???

no promises working for M, or if there would be a difference. been running on LP for quite some time
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
Read up.. It's been known since the 1st preview that a custom kernel must be used along with super su 2.49 for root. Flash twrp latest image and then a kernel and supersu now and you'll have root. :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] treezy26:
Can I use this to return to stock and update to M?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] negativzeroe:
Hey this unroot method, does it remove the padlock completely?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dpadaddict:
Thank you so much. I didn't flash the Preview version and didn't read up, sorry. However THANK YOU so much for sharing this with me.

---------- Post added at 01:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 PM ----------

Yes, just download the stock image from Google and use the Nexus toolkit to unroot and go back to stock. When selecting which IMG you want to flash, just selected the one you downloaded.

Good luck.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] shemantis:
If I do this, and hate it (I *think* I can live without root, but you never know), can I go back by re-flashing a 5.1 custom ROM using Wug's NRT?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
I can't seem to be able to download the latest M version with Wug's, it keeps going back to the last LP build for my stock Nexus 6,what gives. I am rooted and unlocked.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Pecata:
The NRT hasn't been updated yet for Marshmallow-let's give Wug a few days-I am sure he will update the tool when he has a chance-in the meantime-you can manually download the image from google and still flash it with the toolkit
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
I did, and then it asks me to enter the md5 hash value given for the factory image. Updated, I just updated the md5, all is good.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Pecata:
the md5 values are also on the google's download page: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en

Here is the MD5 Checksum for the Nexus 6 6.0 Factory Image: 6f47aa1759670939e99d5cb0e3bc66a1
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
Found it, been extracting for a few minutes already.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dave2metz:
Which custom kernel should I flash for rooting? I never tried out the M previews, so this is new to me. thanks.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] neyenlives:
do we have root as usual with 6.0? anyone confirm yet?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mcconvict:
I've seen several ppl rooted using the same method as the previews
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Onknight:
has anyone Tried to use this to flash to marshmallow Factory Image

Then use it root and add Twrp
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Milamber:
Will the toolkit currently allow root with the official marshmallow release?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
No, it has screwed up my Nexus 6, going back to 5.1.1 as we speak, I am getting some corrupt nonsense.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Milamber:
Thanks, I'll stay clear for now. Give it a few days maybe...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] comicbookguy72:
not easily. it doesn't have the option for marshmallow firmware, there's no unencrypted boot available and an older SuperSU beta by default. better wait for wugs to update
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
Too late, wasting time trying to get my Nexus 6 back to it's buttery smoothness, crap.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] comicbookguy72:
I've been here 3 hours trying to put my BenzoRom backup and all my data back (couldn't get TWRP to work because I'd only got a partial theme loaded). noob.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
Yes, root just as in previews. Flash a custom kernel at end, such as the new Elemental X 3.0
[Nexus 6 Android Development] 92slammer:
download the newest twrp onto your pc and superuser 2.49 beta onto your phone along with the newest hellskernel

flash 6.0 via the toolbox. let it boot up...set it up if you like. .reboot into fastboot. open toolbox and select advance utilities. select fastboot flash recovery and select the twrp.img file(you have to rename it to twrp.img) go through the process. once it boots back up reboot into recovery. flash the kernel then superuser and reboot. you should then be rooted with twrp. see this page for links http://androiding.how/how-to-root-marshmallow-on-nexus-5-6/
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cz829x18:
I just updated mine with this toolkit just fine. I downloaded the factory image, elite kernel and supersu 2.49. Flashed the imaged without wiping, everything booted up fine, booted into twrp, installed kernel and supersu. Rebooted and everything works great. I have root and everything is working just fine.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Gus194:
How long does it take to flash the 5.1.1 System image? I waited 10 minutes before giving up and going back to my backup
[Nexus 6 Android Development] xray49er:
Does flashing the image force encryption
[Nexus 6 Android Development] micmars:
Yes, unless you have a kernel that doesn't force encrypt, and assuming you're already decrypted.

#WhiteUIsMustDie, #EndDarkAppOppression
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
I had to restore my whole device, bummer.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] neyenlives:
I just went through this precisely and my N6 is(was) mostly dead. At boot it shows the white Google logo and unlocked pad lock at bottom and then a red message saying my device is corrupted, blah blah blah....and it turns off....black screen.

I ended up flashing the 58k factory N6 image again and am going to just deal with not having root or custom kernel until someone figures out a better way.....
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jamiejames:
Worked perfectly thank you.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jaredb03:
Thanks guys i got it rooted following post 2049 and 2050. Wondered about getting native tethering activated on Marshmallow?

---------- Post added at 12:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 AM ----------

Actually just did the old net.tethering.noprovisioning=true in the build.prop file and it still works like a charm.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] datagubben:
Hello mr Wug, can you please add Marshmallow image and root to this tool?

Skickat från min Nexus 6 via Tapatalk
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Stolly08:
Can you screen shot the build.prop where you inserted it for me please? That's what I've always done but once I went to 5.1.1 it didn't or I wasn't sure of it'd work BC of some literature they put in there abut don't add anything blah blah.

Anyways thanks!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Stigga:
Can you download marshmallow through OTA if you are rooted (through Wug) on Lollipop? I know you would lose root but are there other things to consider and is it possible?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Joe92T:
I gotta tell you, ive been around for a long time and this tool is absolutely one of the best things i have ever seen for android so far. It makes things stupid easy to accomplish
[Nexus 6 Android Development] baudi11:
The toolkit has just been updated to include Android 6.0.0.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jamiejames:
Wow that was fast. Thank you to the person that did it. Is root working?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] baudi11:
I think the only person who could do it is Wugfresh. You might want to thank him with a small donation.

I haven't updated yet, but I think NRT always supports root for the included factory images.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] scott45333:
According to the website, root is not working through toolkit at this time because of the need for a custom kernel.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Stigga:
Is that a new requirement?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] scott45333:
It seems so at this time. http://androiding.how/how-to-root-marshmallow-on-nexus-5-6/
[Nexus 6 Android Development] baudi11:
Which website? Link please?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Stigga:
damn that seems to add complexity and potential issues

[Nexus 6 Android Development] jamiejames:
I have donated to him a couple times. Thanks for your concern tho.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] baudi11:
Thanks. From the horses mouth:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] milliman:
I used NRT to do a stock upgrade to 6.0.0 then I let is install the TWRP recovery partition before transferring the ElementalX kernel and latest version of Chainfire's SU package. After NRT finished, I let it reboot into recovery then installed the kernel and SU. When I rebooted I was greeted with some rooted Marshmallowly goodness.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
I will stay away until then.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jamiejames:
I can confirm that works perfectly. Everything running great.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
I went through hell trying to get my Nexus 6 back to 5.1.1 . Not messing around with the toolkit until it is updated.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] captemo:
toolkit is updated

I went through everything, toolkit downloaded factory image for me and pushed it through. installed recovery and SU 2.49.....all went Bueno

BUUUUT...

my phone icon went from looking like a phone to the little android icon??? ok...fixed that

aaaaannnnddd... my home button does not work. I have to do like Chris Berman and BACK BACK BACK

also, no lock screen??? been a while since on stock though. is it like that or do I need to activate somewhere?

sup wit dat?

am I missing something? anybody else?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
Is the new SU script implemented in the toolkit, or did you do a separate download.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] captemo:
separate along with HC kernel. put them on storage before hand and went for the no wipe option. used Wug to install recovery (think it was already there though) flashes kernel and SU.....Bob's your uncle.

however, I don't have contacts either, even though it said it would not wipe my storage. they seem to be only thing missing.

home button is really bothering though. shows the touch and vibrates, just doesn't go anywhere
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jamiejames:
Maybe has something to do with the no wipe option. That's the only thing different from what I did. Not have any problems whatsoever.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] damage98:
*edit* - i powered down, powered up to bootloader, selected reboot to recovery, waited for the droid on his back, hit and held power and quick tapped volume up. In there I did a factory reset of data. rebooted, skipped through all the setup, went to settings, storage, and I have 64gb devce again. Now I have to set up all over again. You have been warned, check your storage before you do anything else ;)

I had just used wugs to flash stock recovery, (my 64-gb was showing 23gb) and 'start fresh' on 5.1.1 stock with stock recovery and no root to wait for the ota. That went well, had 64 gb showing, and ran totally stock all weekend on L.

M dropped, and I couldn't wait, could I? Soooo I formatted my partitions in stock recovery and used wugs magic to dload the factory 6 image. Still on stock recovery, but storage shows 23gb again... :(

any suggestions? I have already installed all my apps and settings don't want to have to go through it all again.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
This is the reason I will wait until everything is up to speed, especially M.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] captemo:
thought about that...

I think I have about everything backed up on computer

don't think there is anything else I can lose
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Pecata:
You have to do a factory reset from within android-in settings-that should be able to take care of the issue for you-I've had the same issue when I flashed 5.1.1 for the first time-didn't notice until I had installed everything just the way I liked it and I had to do a factory reset-it fixed the storage for me...good luck!

So can I just flash it using NRT and not root it yet?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
Correct.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
I just want to update my stock Any walk through on how to just do an update same as OTA to 6.0 on stock without having to root wipe and do a reinstall ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
You would have to unlock the phone "which means wipe" then root, once unlocked you can pretty much do as you please, like so updates without wipe, but the latest version of Android needs the latest SU script to root the device. I will wait till 6.1 comes out, when the bugs are worked out.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] captemo:
my issues from earlier are resolved

returned to stock and unroot again, only used the wipe mode this time.

home button works and contacts returned.

rooted and HC kernel

BUENO
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jamiejames:
Very cool. Not even sure why that would matter but obviously it does.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TokedUp:
My computer will recognize my phone via ADB when the phone is on. As soon as I boot into the bootloader to sideload an OTA the NRT says there are no devices recognized. I recently upgraded my PC to Windows7. I sideloaded a previous OTA without problems. I have tried everything! I uninstalled all devices drivers, started from scratch. Im completely stock, no root or UBL. Can someone please help! I really want me some 6.0 when the OTA is posted.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] lucky13:
Chainfire just released 2.50, which from what I've read allows the original kernel to be used with a modified boot.img, is the nrt going to be updated to use this?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] captemo:
Probably....give 20 minutes....OK maybe 24 hours.

Sorry, couldn't resist....I'm a d@#k

I am sure they will. Had the factory image up in about a day.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] lucky13:
Lol, yeah, yeah, I'm not the hurrying anyone up type, just want that pure stock experience and trying to contain my excitement. ;)

Here's the thread by Chainfire about it;

[Nexus 6 Android Development] jamexman:
Nice, just be careful though, he states doing so may cause a phone wipe if the phone is encrypted...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] lucky13:
Yeah, I plan on wiping the thing and starting fresh anyways.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] yhrn:
Has anybody successfully flashed 6.0 using NRT without wipe (no root)? I mean without having the problem of the device showing less storage than it actually has, or any other problem for that matter?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fuzz_33594:
Did you try deselecting then re-selecting USB? You may have to re-authorize your computer. (I had the same issue and that was the problem.)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] javan966:
Yea I flash back the 5.1.1 fine no issues, I flash one of the Android M developer previews it flash fine too no issues I even downloaded a new 6.0 factory image and its still giving the same error I probably tired it over 10 times
[Nexus 6 Android Development] norwoodesteel:
yes, zero issues
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jamiejames:
Some people have had issues with the home button not working if you don't wipe.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] davidnc:
I updated my Nexus 6 to M on Monday ,by following Mr Wugs instructions posted on his G+ page and also in this thread.It was the first time I imported a image but went flawlessly.

I see now Wug has already updated it to the drop down .

I have not re rooted yet but eventually will.

Mr Wug will probably have the toolkit updated by the time I do re root. As fast as he always updates it. :)

Thanks again for this toolkit

Edit:

I did read where some re rooted by getting the needed stuff to obtain root,, also they posted around the #2049-#2050 numbered posts
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Long Island NOOBIE:
A factory reset after using NRT corrects the storage size display problem, but as you well know it will wipe all your personal data and settings.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] RandoTheKing:
Everyone is worried about root (it's 2015, haven't needed root in a long time), but what about decryption? Is that still possible?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jamiejames:
No point in having a device you can't root and flash custom roms. It's 2015 who cares about decryption.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Stolly08:
I did the update to 6.0 last night, Oct 6 around 8pm and it was in the drop down on nrt and everything works including home button and I still have 64gb of storage and I did not do a full wipe.

Not rooted yet tho... Does anyone know if that works on nrt?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] yhrn:
Thanks, but the point of my question was to hear no wipe success stories to give us some indication on whether it is a good idea to try this yet as I don't really have time to set up my phone from scratch again right now. Almost all post are about problems, which is natural, but I thought it might be useful for others as well as myself to hear if anybody actually managed to to do a no wipe flash with NRT without any problems.

One positive at least so apparently it can happen but I think I'll hold of a little longer...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Not everyone is worried about root.

Many people don't know about that.

Many people have rooted their devices.

Devices with root acces are far more customizable.

Factory images of Google use forced encryption. Only data is encrypted. With root acces it is possible to change to unencrypted data storage.

There are threads with pro's and con's about that.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] droidstyle:
why would you expect to hear a no problem solution? when you change OS versions (4.x to 5.x to 6.0) data always needs to wiped or problems occur 99% of the time. At least this has been my experience over the years. If you do not have time to reinstall everything then stay where you are at and enjoy.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Stolly08:
See my previous post 2110.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gramenz:
I can confirm that the no wipe option flashes, boots, however home button is unresponsive & notification pull down does not work. I also made the mistake of not backing up my pictures, and had issues with Google Drive as well. Storage also showed 23GB on 64GB Nexus 6. Re-flashed (with wipe), rebooted, set everything up, works great. If system still shows 23 GB, you need to do factory reset from setting menu as mentioned above. I flashed TWRP via ADB, rebooted into recovery, flashed ElementalX kernal and 2.46 SuperSU. Rebooted into recovery once more, then rebooted to system. Everything works perfectly.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
I am staying where I am at, which is 5.1.1 and enjoying. [emoji41]
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RandoTheKing:
So I'm having a huge issue. Let me preface

If my Nexus 6 battery dies I literally have to perform CPR to get it to turn back on. It thinks the battery is fully charged and therefore won't accept a charge which means it won't boot into android. I can get into bootloader but it always says to connect a data/charging cable even though it says it's charging. Anyway, after a lot of playing around with the cable and going in and out of boot loader I can finally get it to charge and boot.

Fast forward to today. I cannot get fastboot to work so the installer fails everytime. I know it is not a driver issue. I've had no issues in the past and I've done a full uninstall/reinstall per the guide in this toolkit. ADB works perfectly fine. When ADB restarts into bootloader there is a message on my phone that says to connect the data cable (it is connected!). Is it possible my phone is broken?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
When a bootloader mode is active you need a fastboot driver and not an adb-driver.

There are combined adb + fastboot drivers.

Maybe there is still a driver issue.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
No, you will need to go back to 5.1.1, you probably tried to root, which causes some issues.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RandoTheKing:
Well I can't go back to anything because fastboot does not work. I never even upgraded to 5.1.1. I'm still on 5.1.0 LMy47I
