This a generic question. But 2 things are crucial.

You need a working data-connection between phone and a PC where NRT is correctly installed.

Start NRT.

When the data-connection works; you have to select on the PC with NRT running the correct Android build for your device.

After that - see the toolkit.

Hi sorry I meant get ota update on rooted Nexus 6
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TonikJDK:
You wont without a lot of hassle. Just use nrt and flash the image, use the no wipe option then reroot. Its the easiest way.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
OK. That needs unrooting and requires hassling.

That's why I use the prerooted lite stock rom of Danvdh.

I download the rom every month to the internal storage of the phone and flash the complete new rom with TWRP-RECOVERY.

Before flashing I wipe cache and system partition.

Data is kept with this method.

To keep my N6 unencrypted I wait for the release of N modded by Danvdh.

What we need is a kernel where forced encryption is turned off.

Flash stock and unroot option. The it will pop a box of options, select no wipe to save data and apps. After that use it to flash twrp and reroot it.

(bootloader) has-slot:boot: not found

(bootloader) has-slot:recovery: not found

however everything still completes & looks fine as far as i can see.

anyone knows what its about?

This means the script used the option --slot.

Navigate to the NRT folder where fastboot.exe is located. Start a dosbox.

Then type the command 'fastboot -h' and fastboot shows an explanation.

[MENTION=4808470]iluvatrix[/MENTION]

Generally I am using Tapatalk or XDA app for reading/responsing.

Now special for your info. I am using a PC. Easier typing for me.

(I think your fastboot version is not recent; better update).

I do not paste the whole help info of fastboot to avoid cluttering the thread

Here below the info I promised to paste from Fastboot help.

--slot <suffix>

Specify slot suffix to be used if the device supports slots.

This will be added to all partition names that use slots.

'all' can be given to refer to all slots.

'other' can be given to refer to a non-current slot.

If this flag is not used, slotted partitions will default to the current active slot.

Hoping this is the info you were looking for.

hi thanks for going thru the trouble but what does it all mean? i flash these updates monthly & this is the first time i have see this flag thats why i have asked on this thread. since everything has flashed correctly should i be concerned of damage to the N6?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
There are different kinds of memory.

I don't no more about it.

You can ignore this 'noties' .

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=59561445/

I assume you have Twrp-recovery installed.

The above link concerns a lite stock rom; prerooted.

I also update monthly but very easy.

Download the latest rom (zip file) to the N6.

Boot into Twrp-recovery - wipe system - caches.

Flash the new rom-zip and reboot. Data kept.

Maybe it's also good for you.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Philip:
I am guessing that WugFresh has added the "-slot" parameter to the fastboot command which is called by NRT.

As the Nexus 6 doesn't have a removable card slot, fastboot is (understandably) reporting that it cannot find a slot.

Nothing to worry about, and I wouldn't be too surprised if WugFresh amends the toolkit at some point in the future so that it only uses this parameter on devices which have a removable card slot.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] newsguy99:
does anyone else also have problems with the log? After flashing, using the Launch tools, and then, ROM. It gets to 7% of the rom being transfered over, and then just stops reporting on what its doing.

It still finishes everything just fine, but stops reporting.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] WugFresh:
That should only be the case if you selected "any build" mode or the incorrect build/device. Otherwise SuperSU install is automated with the root button. And same for busybox, just check the toolkit options menu under root settings, for what option you have selected.

Just backed up, unlocked, and rooted. Only issue I had was after installing all drivers and verifying they were indeed there, it still had trouble detecting fastboot. It worked, but it took a couple tries each time. The first time I checked off the custom recovery box when I rooted, but it hung up when it booted to TWRP and I ended up having to reboot, noticed that SuperSU and Busybox hadn't been installed, so I started again. Second time I rooted without installing recovery since TWRP had already been installed, everything went fine, SuperSU and Busybox were there.Thanks for the hard work WugFresh, you da man!

Encryption question

So.. having some difficulties here.

I unlocked/rooted all successfully.

I then used flashify to flag the noencrypt rooted boot image from this thread.

I rebooted to recovery and did a factory reset.

Rebooted phone/re-signed in lah lah.

In Settings/Security it still shows Encrypted Phone.

Thoughts?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RogerFerret:
Could you be a bit more specific? (more 'where' am I accessing Advanced.. an app, the main Settings etc)

[Nexus 6 Android Development] RogerFerret:
Ah! excellent thanks.

So, when I go to settings/security and it says: "Encrypt Phone" I can then assume it is now un-encrypted and this is the option to re-encrypt (i.e. it worked :)?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] clothednblack:
You are correct, if it was already encrypted, that option wouldn't appear.

You have to be in fastboot mode not twrp....

I've searched aimlessly for a few days now but can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

I have a Nexus 6, Android 6.0.1, build mob30o

I got a successful unlock for the bootloader, but every time I try to root, it always temporarily boots me into twrp, so I can't get the root files to install. I'm pretty novice at this and watched the tutorials and searched everywhere online but no luck.

What am I doing wrong? Anyone?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] baudi11:
Until you explain

exactly

what you are doing, step-by-step, in detail, and the result of each step, it will be difficult for anyone to tell you what you are doing wrong.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tplatt91:
After I did the unlock, I clicked root, it went to my bootloader, it then said "temporarily booting in trwp". Idk what else to say. The phone was enable for debug and device was successfully connected. But instead of saying something about the IMG file it went into trwp. I can't get the root files to start transferring over to my phone.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
As soon as you are in TWRP flash the SuperSu 2.76 file from the Flash folder and the EX 4.06 file that you should have downloaded then reboot system. Done!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tplatt91:
So I should have downloaded those files on to the phone. They are on my PC right now. I though the toolkit moved the files for me to get the root. Can you explain exactly. Sorry for my misunderstanding, I begin you be patient with me.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
It.can move.Super Su to the phone but not the Ex kernel. Better to do the files youself. Then use the toolkit to boot into TWRP and flash them.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tplatt91:
can you send me a direct link to those downloads via message, im not sure which ones to use. Afterwords I can just click "install" inside TWRP and find the files in my downloads section folder correct?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Now you have Twrp-recovery installed there's an alternative in case the responses here doesn't solve the issues.

Download the latest prerooted stock rom of Danvdh to internal memory of your N6phone. It is a flashable zip file.

Boot Twrp-recovery and wipe system and caches.

Flash with TWRP the zip file with the stock Rom Mob30o of Danvdh.

First off, freaking amazing tool. This made my amateur dabbling in rooting so much easier. Thanks for this!

I just ran into an issue with the latest Android N. I ran the autoupdater and manually updated the NRT, but none of the lists show NPD90G. Is there a typical latency to seeing newer builds get added, or anything I can contribute to that?

I wanted to root + apply no-encryption if needed, but anytime it tries to do this and change to the nonexistent NPD90G it throws a fatal error that crashes the app.

Error : Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded

Let me know if anything I can contribute. cheers

Hey guys need a little help here. I am trying to put my Nexus 6 back stock before sending it to Verizon. I was in Pure Nexus 8/3 build. I wasn't sure which build to choose in the toolkit.

Thank you. I got stock flashed and enabled usb debugging to oem lock and the toolkit said the bootloader was relocked however it remains unlocked in the fast boot screen. Also tried rebooting and the padlock still shows unlocked. Repeated steps 3 times. Can't get it to relock. Any advice?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TonikJDK:
You also need to hit developer options in settings and hit the slider there to on. Then relock with the toolkit.

But dont do that until you are sure everything is good. Once you do that if it bootloops you are done.

In updating to N 7.0 NRD90M, the only way I was able to flash the custom kernel and root with SuSuperuser 2.76.zip, was to first fastboot flash TWRP 3.0.2-21 and then flash from this Recovery, which was updated to deycript the data partition.

Why would you flash a ROM with NRT when you can just put the ROM/Gapps/Kernel in device storage and flash from Recovery?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wpnvii:
Because I get ERROR=255 every time I manually flash anything in TWRP.

*edit: that error i thought happened because there was no MD5 file found. apparently it was a bad .zip verification that was stopping the process. i re-downloaded and transferred it using PTP, this time using NRT just to reboot to TWRP recovery and flash rom, gapps and supersu manually.
