As most people know, Wugfresh is working on version 2.06 of NRT. Until that's released, he has published temporary instructions for rooting Marshmallow here https://plus.google.com/u/0/113329792100896065459/posts/93WR63UHuEp

Anyone stuck on the boot animation? I'm going to let it go for a bit more but it's been just about 5 minutes so far.

Did you just update from stock? Did you attempt to root or install a custom recovery?

Hey Guys - I just got a replacement nexus 6 from motorola. I backed up my current rooted nexus 6 -through titanium backup on my phone and through Wugfresh backup. Do I just turn on the new phone, connect to my computer and click restore on Wugfresh to get my data on the new phone? Thanks

Should we wipe Cache and dalvik after flashing this kernel?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ANDYx1975:
Just do it... Wiping both is Never a Bad thing
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
I don't think it is necessary when the rom is not changed.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] smstriker:
So, since M rolled out, i can't get any of this to work... I use the WugFresh toolkit and i get the "Warning" screen that i have a modified OS, and other times i get to the Boot animation and it sticks. I have wiped all, factory reset, relocked to stock and tried again to no avail. I finally used ADB setup to install ElementalX kernel and got it to load, but SU will not update binaries now... And I can't get Wifi Tethering to work... ;( Main reason i am doing it to begin with...

I also have the Same issues... Maybe it is related to my encrypted Phone. I will wait for a final Release... Dont want to waist my time with reflashing
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jamiejames:
I've flashed mine at least 5 times with this. Never had a problem.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] srothkin:
I take it you were previously rooted for some time.

I'd like to see a procedure that avoids the need for a factory reset on the 64GB nexus 6 as the reconfiguring after that (even after using MyBackup Pro to restore the apps and there settings) still involves a lot of detailed manual work.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mikegrmn:
Yes, it requires quite some work, but after flashing custom roms for about a year, I got tired of it and wanted to try stock and start from scratch. I've had quite some reboot and crashing issues while dirty flashing roms, so starting from scratch to see how well marshmallow behaves was a good thing for me.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] srothkin:
However, in this case I'm not dealing with custom ROMs. I'd be going from stock (but rooted) 5.1.1 to 6. If I was able to do it OTA it presumably wouldn't "lose" half my memory or require a factory reset to avoid that, so I would expect the same when flashing the updated factory image over what I've got.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] H.Ahmadi:
I have 32 GB Nexus 6 that is rooted with stock rom 5.1.1 and Franco Kernel

I can see in the NRT that Android M is added, but not sure if it is working as I can read lots of issues from your posts and replies.

So what is happening.?

1- Is root still not functional through the toolkit?

2- Can I use the toolkit to update to M and then root it without the need to wipe or factory reset?

I know Franco has not released the kernel yet for Android M but if the root is functioning without the need for a factory reset I am happy to use the stock kernel.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] treezy26:
Is root still not available to use on M with this yet? and if not can I use this to downgrade from 6.0 to 5.1.1?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] garyHal:
I got root using NRT, just make sure you are using the beta dependencies from settings.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
Yes you go back to 5.1.1 using the toolkit
[Nexus 6 Android Development] beachbum40:
Yes
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Philip:
I'm in a similar boat. There's nothing in Marshmallow that's useful enough to me that I'm willing to go through the whole setting up of all my apps and widgets manually. So anything that involves a factory reset is a no-no if I can possibly avoid it.

Shame that there isn't any backup solution that will restore all your apps/widgets/screens back to exactly how they were when they were backed up (if there is such a solution, and I just haven't found it yet, then I'm all ears...)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] konflikt1911:
Stuck in boot loop and I cant factory reset because nothing in the tool kit matches my latest t mobile update any help available?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Stigga:
Did you try the soft bricked option in the tool?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] konflikt1911:
yes but when I try to get a factory image mine isn't listed because tmo just did a small update and now it keeps saying mismatch and canceling the install. I did a force flash and I think that jacked it up even more so now I'm trying to go back to a 5.1.1 rom
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Stigga:
Do you know the build # you were on?

Also I think you can download a different image and flash it on your phone as a temporary fix..... I am def not technical but got stuck in a bootloop recently and was eventually able to get out of it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] konflikt1911:
I believe it was this one the newest LYZ28M
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Stigga:
I am pretty sure that is in the toolkit
[Nexus 6 Android Development] konflikt1911:
its that one or the one after it but I remember what I had was not in the tool kit so I couldn't auto detect the software now I'm just trying to get back to a nice factory reset so I can just do reset and use my phone again

Did somebody managed to root an encrypted Device?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RanceJustice:
At least as of the time of this writing, it seems that NRT downloads SuperSU 2.51 if it is set to download the beta version. As I recall, SuperSU 2.52 is now available, isn't it? Not sure if this could have anything to do with issues people are having? Is there any plan for update?

At the moment I'm still on a 5.1.1 custom ROM, but I'm interested in flashing 6.0 full stock to get a look at it as well as update my radio and whatnot (using NRT), which I understand should do so working with encryption. I'm a bit hesitant as my next idea would be to root and install TWRP (ideally, MultiROM if it works) while maintaining both SELinux Enforcing and my Encrypted disk. I'll be interested to see if/when this is possible. I'd also consider moving to one of the 6.0 custom ROMs, provided I don't lose any features by doing so, but I'll have to keep my eyes open.

Thanks again for maintaining the NRT - it has brought ease of use and simplicity to the power of Android hacking and customization.

I followed the steps Wug had posted as well. Same thing, got stuck at boot screen. I then went into stock recovery and did another factory reset. That fixed it. Everything loaded fine and still had root after the reset. Hope this helps.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Encryption is a method to store data.

Rooting is about privilege to acces system files and the use of more commands.

So encrypted or not rooting is possible when you manage to install a recent version of SuperSU.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] sunandoghosh:
Could i ask humbly whether finally there is an established safe step by step process for nexus 6 update to marshmallow....without wiping user data

I am currently on 5.1.1 UK nexus 6 rooted....pls advise...reading so many posts and totally confused
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
You could wait for an OTA. Till now the update 5.1.1 -> 6.0 requires a factory reset.

Because you are rooted, you have probably TWRP recovery. In that case you could flash a custom rom that's already rooted. Look for howto the OP of the thread about the JDX ROM.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Pecata:
I am sorry if this has been answered already-but after using nrt and unencrypting and rooting(sotr of) I cannot edit build.prop-it says it's read only...also I have noticed that my root storage is completely full now-I have 4kb free memory there...any idea why? Am I missing something? Thank you
[Nexus 6 Android Development] garyHal:
Why don't you think you have it fully rooted?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Pecata:
Because I cannot edit the build.prop-I am attempting to disable the software keys so I can use lmt, but it won't let me
[Nexus 6 Android Development] AYHJA:
Flashing works fine for me, just stuck in a bootloop after trying to root. I flash the zips, everything goes as planned, and then nothing.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] KGroder:
I changed my dpi with this toolkit on stock non rooted MM.. Any way to disable the nav bar as well without root? Changing dpi is done by editing build prop right? So to disable nav bar I just need to add the extra line of code to build prop.. Just curious if this is possible with this toolkit and without root

clear exactly what data i twrp you mean?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] scott45333:
I had the same issue at first. The fix that worked for me was to do a factory reset from the stock bootloader after rooting. Everything then booted up normal. After that, I installed TWRP and everything is running smooth now.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MahoVader:
If twrp is installed, go to wipe then use the format data button. Evidently, it happens when the phone isn't unencrypted.

Any news when root will be backed into Wug's toolkit for 6.0. I am getting system update notification from Google.

Android 6.0 Root is in the NRT. Unfortunately a factory data reset is required to root Android 6.0 (for now).

[Nexus 6 Android Development] KGroder:
I understand.. Just didn't know how the tool kit manages to change dpi without root.. Because that has to edit the build prop as well right?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
No. As far as I know Wug's toolkit gathers needed images and a modified boot image to allow privileged commands. Goal is update and/or root access. No changes of dpi and other settings in system files like build.prop

Edit: the toolkit has a button Display Density in the advanced utilities menu.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] KGroder:
Well what I was saying is I have changed my dpi with the tool kit without root.. I did it successfully using the kit.. Being as I was able to do that I was curious if it were also possible to disable nav bar.. But I appreciate your help and input.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Sorry I am on the PC now and started NRT.

Indeed in the adv utilities there is a button Display Density.

I wish I read this before I spent a day putting all my apps and music back on :(
[Nexus 6 Android Development] srqrob:
I was under the impression that a factory reset was only required if you had lost capacity as a result of returning to stock + unroot.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
There is no reason to do a factory reset, I never needed to go that route, I will wait till the toolkit is updated with the proper SU "not the beta version". It cost me 2 hours last week to get my Nexus 6 back to 5.1.1 with all my files "having to set up again" rooted and unlocked, not going through that nightmare again.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MahoVader:
For some reason, a simple FDR didn't solve the problem for mine, but formatting the data did. The sticking point was evidently encryption.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
Just dl and flash a custom kernel after rooting.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] KGroder:
Yea.. That's why I was asking.. Seems if it can change dpi it could hide navbar.. Was asking just in case someone new how.. Thanks for your input
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
I tried to flash the JDX rom with and without factory reset. First without and I got many forced close errors. Than the factory reset solved the issues.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] AYHJA:
I can cosign that a factory reset will indeed fix the bootloop issue, many thanks to all for the suggestions...

I am also having the issue another user posted earlier where the system partition is full, which doesn't permit editing of root files like build.prop. Solid Explorer says I have 373 KB of 1.92 GB free, which I'm sure is the culprit.

Do I have to do another full flash and wipe to fix this, or is there a file or folder I can safely delete to get more space and allow editing? My usable storage space shows properly.

So it means for stock ROM with rooted and TWRP I have to wait...if i dont want factory reset?

Factory reset is too much work after restore..,..so many apps data and other settings....wonder how all experts are managing the restore after factory reset?

Thanks ALL:(
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bdorr1105:
It is not that much work, Use Titanium Backup to restore your apps. Trust me, you want to factory reset, wipe everything including internal memory, and start fresh on Marshmallow. Use the toolkit or fastboot flash the Pure stock Factory Google Image so everything is partitioned correctly, then install TWRP and start flashing ROMs again, no different than before.

Copy your internal memory so you have a backup of your stuff, esp your Titanium Back up. Then all you do is drag what you need back on your phone, restore your titanium backup and you are back up and running again. First flash will take a bit more work, because its the first one, but you are setting the "Foundation" and if you come in with a crappy dirty foundation, that is what I would expect my phone to run like. You get out what you put in!!

Just updated my Nexus 6 to 6.0 with root. Works fine.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RayEdmondson:
Suggestion. Go onto YouTube and search for Rootjunky. He has a 15-20 min video on using the NRT.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] AYHJA:
Yeah...There's definitely something up, but I can't put my finger on it. There was no variation I tried that allowed me to run 6.0 and Busybox. Root permissions work fine, and I worked out all the other issues, but for my and my device, getting Busybox working was a no go on 6.0. Having root w/o Busybox isn't worth having root to me. I only have root primarily so that I can run ad-away and change my hostname. I am fine with stock + root, and don't really have the time to tinker with other ROM's, though I'm sure they're great.

Just to make sure that I'm not crazy, I downgraded to 5.1.1 (LVY48H) and rooted and had busybox up and working in record time. Maybe my busybox w/root issues have something to do with me being on GoogleFi. There's nothing I did in the downgrade that I didn't do in the upgrade. Almost positive it's GoogleFi.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
Busybox works fine, follow the instructions on Wug's G+ page. Then follow the instructions on your pc while installing TWRP with root access, once in TWRP you need to unzip the 3 files in the order that is given to you on your pc screen.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] EAK128:
I hear M takes almost all the system storage space. Make sure your system has enough space for Busybox to install all the files.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] AYHJA:
Indeed, following instructions is my forte. Everything works except the actual busybox install. The smartinstall loads, says it's installed, but it isn't. 2 or 3 other root+busybox apps that are supposed to verify say it's there, but trying to do anything that requires busybox will yield errors.

On the Nexus factory image page, there is a 5.1.1 build specifically for devices running on GoogleFi. I remember when I tried to install the 6.0 preview, I had similar issues. I think I have to wait for an official GoogleFi build. On the build listed, that program doesn't even load. I'll have to wait for a master tinkerer to verify my theory though.

Just did a quick search.
