[Nexus 6 Android Development] EmperorX:
Sooooo, what should I do? Enable unlock? I can't per my organizations rules on IP.

Or should I just wait for the factory image and install that way, then lock things up again?

I was under the impression i'd be fine relocking after a successful downgrade.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] micmars:
How, pray tell, did you attain the first 5.1 build with a locked bootloader?

You can obtain the OTA T-Mobile update and be unlocked, you just can't have a custom rom or recovery.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] EmperorX:
Sideloaded the 5.1 D build.

I did have to unlock the bootloader to downgrade, once i was successfully on 5.0.1 again I locked it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] darren.wlsn1:
i dont get why people are downgrading for OTA, is there a specific reason you dont just use toolkit to upgrade or a factory rom with image?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] EmperorX:
Well, I for one cannot leave my bootloader unlocked.

I upgraded to D VIA sideloading the OTA. Then, I was STUCK. There won't be a file to upgrade from D or E to M. So, instead of waiting around to wipe my device at an inopportune time, I downgraded this morning as I have some free time today.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] micmars:
There is a build that is T-Mobile specific, and some believe that there may be more than a different modem in the package.

Irrespective, I'm in accord with you...every file can be pushed via fastboot or this toolkit, so there's no good reason to have to downgrade if one desires that which is available online.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] darren.wlsn1:
what build is tmo specific?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] micmars:
This...

https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-18109

And the update can downloaded directly from the T-Mobile website...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] darren.wlsn1:
ok ty, i was told a few pages back that was vzw build # but i see its not. so only way i can get that update (im on tmo) is to downgrade? im on 47D clean rom OEM unlocked?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] micmars:
Not at all, just go to the link I posted and click the download button, then extract the necessary files or wait for the toolkit to include them...again, if you are on the 5.1 bootloader, please remain on it. Everything can be flashed via fastboot.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
You may need to recheck mtp in usb settings to see in windows explorer.

Btw, thanks for all the work Wugfresh....wonderful tool.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] V1ViD:
Has anyone tried this on a mac yet?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] akellar:
It's windows only
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Biofall:
MTP is checked. The Nexus 6 only shows up if I check PTP.. Which isn't ideal
[Nexus 6 Android Development] V1ViD:
Using wine or VM. I should have added that. :p.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] akellar:
I think it'd be easier to just use adb/fastboot but your call
[Nexus 6 Android Development] V1ViD:
The mac is pretty recent for me so, I am honestly not too sure how to go about that using a mac. I've done some searching but most people have just used emulators, so I haven't found much about terminal.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] clothednblack:
Worked like a charm, all I needed was twrp and this had that option. Thank you for this, you made my day!

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cdub50:
cant get unencrypt to work I used flashify to flash the kernel provided root_kernel_shamu_lrx21o_noforce_encrypt.img then rebooted into recovery and in twrp did a factory reset, but once phone reboots its still shows in security that it is encrypted. Am I missing something? Not sure if it matters, but this is an AT&T Nexus 6. One other thing I was wondering is I see /oem folder with what looks like boot animation for ATT can that be removed? Really hate that damn boot animation.

Thanks for any help in advance.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] the.emilio:
Reboot to boot loader and do fastboot format userdata
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cdub50:
Thanks that did it wiping data in twrp did not work but that did.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] caspersfi:
Well I effed up. Like an idiot I was flying thru this with a dog barking and my 5 yr old.... alright not gonna make excuses but I effed up.

View attachment 3027867

I was first having trouble installing the drivers on my pc. Went thru the troubleshooting steps and resolved this issue or so I believed.

In the pic where it says the device and unauthorized. Like an idiot I didn't pay attention to this, I hit the button to unlock, I'm unlocked now but with a Android with a spinning sphere and I left it stuck there for about 10 minutes. Then attempted to reboot and it will boot right back into the android with the spinning sphere.

Where do I go from here guys. Please don't flame me. ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Smallsmx3:
Should of let it keep going. Mine took a bit
[Nexus 6 Android Development] caspersfi:
What about the device name in the pic and saying unauthorized? That's normal?

NVM.... I'm good now.

I'm still an idiot but I think I'm good now. ☺
[Nexus 6 Android Development] krishsastry:
Thanks [MENTION=3110798]WugFresh[/MENTION], one more day and I should be able to use this tool to setup my Nexus :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] orlzzt:
I did the same thing; I have the Sprint variant, and the build number was different than LRX210 so I chose "any build" and it didn't work. I unrooted using NRT which flashed the LRX210 img onto my device, then I ran NRT again and it worked like a charm. Might be something variant specific? Whatever the case, I'm on LRX210 and rooted now with a Sprint US variant. Thanks, Wug, for all your great work!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mistertac:
I'm also on Sprint, and prior to doing something similar like you mentioned was on that other build as well. Although I had an OTA notification on old build and now with one from the Toolkit no OTA notification... Same with you I'm assuming?

BTW [MENTION=3110798]WugFresh[/MENTION] I'm sending $10 your way right now, thanks for your Toolkit, for a first time Nexus guy it made things so easy.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] orlzzt:
Exactly! I used NRT and had SuperSU, but there were no binaries; BusyBox would not install; and I got the "update nag". Once I unrooted and re-rooted with NRT, the update nag went away, SuperSU loaded fine and BusyBox installed perfectly. I just finished flashing TWRP using the app from the Play store, so let the fun begin!! (Titanium Backup is loading as I type).

Thanks to all for your help!

EDIT; [MENTION=3938519]TexasLTE[/MENTION] - can a brother get a Nexus 6 banner? Maybe some Shamu colors, since I live near Orlando? ;)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] davidh59:
driver issues

I've deleted and re-installed everything but the device shows up but no ADB and can not see it in explorer. Seems like I had similar issue getting my Note2 to work with mtp, but that was several years ago. Here's a screen shot https://www.dropbox.com/s/3uefskuwfnp404m/Screenshot 2014-11-22 08.55.15.png?dl=0 Any ideas?

This looks like a great tool can't wait to try it! Thx
[Nexus 6 Android Development] chris6278:
Not seeing an option for nexus 6 when it asks what kind of device i have. How do i get it to show up? Sorry if this has already been addressed
[Nexus 6 Android Development] EmperorX:
You can wait for factory images and fastboot those... I decided to downgrade because as I said previously, which I think is a VALID reason (others do not.. I guess), but I absolutely CANNOT leave my bootloader unlocked.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] darren.wlsn1:
you said " There won't be a file to upgrade from D or E to M." so it sounds like (to me) i wont see a factory image unless its through a device OTA
[Nexus 6 Android Development] EmperorX:
I said that because there won't be an OTA from D or E to M.

There will most likely be a factory image, but that would have made it so I would need to wipe my device regardless, so I did it today and downgraded to wait for the OTA instead.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Efrenjr15:
So me being on E build fresh out the box. I wanna jump to to dirty unicorns ROM. Which is not 5.1 yet . would I risk bricking the nexus 6? I'm coming from an s4 and never made the jump to lollipop due to the amount of bugs it had and the support that the s4 didn't have as far as devs.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] darren.wlsn1:
forgot to post that i get error from that link where ":download" is....Not Found

The item does not exist. It may have been deleted.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] micmars:
Just do not under any circumstances downgrade your bootloader.

No need to do that. Ever.

---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 PM ----------

I'm sure their site is getting pounded.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ronaldheld:
This may be obvious, but does this toolkit install the necessary Windows USB drivers? I did not recall seeing anyt.hing about this in the tutorials I viewed.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] capcanuck:
So.. I may have read wrong, but from what I've gathered I should flash back to stock to receive the OTA? I'm on LMY47D with the 95R radio and boot loader.

I really want to switch to the T-Mobile build, I'm having a bunch of issues with sending and receiving texts/picture messages.

Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] EmperorX:
Is it not fine to downgrade but just make sure you have OEM Unlock on during the process (when wiping system)? I feel like i'm in a pretty good place here after downgrading to 5.0.1. Also, if someone wanted to go stock to get the OTA, would they not HAVE to downgrade the bootloader? I've seen back and forth info all over these forums... Hoping i'm safe at this point and crossing my fingers.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TBarb169:
ok, got all set up, went to flash MeanPop 2.02 and lean kernel. it pushed the files to the phone, got all the way to the TWRP screen and then stopped. it never went to wipe or install the zips i had loaded.

I ended up finishing the flash manually in TWRP, rebooted and all is fine. just curious if i missed a step. I watched the videos and searched the forums on Wug's site and did not see my answer. Can anyone tell me what i may have done wrong or missed checking a box? Thanks in advance!

Log attached.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] micmars:
I hope your device is fine, and that everything you've done is harmless...that your T-Mobile update arrives, and you can unlock, reroot, decrypt if you like, put custom recovery on the device, and all is terrific...but...

If you had been on the 5.01 bootloader, flashed a ton of different roms, from AOSP 5.02, to CyanogenMod 5.02, all of these remixes, stock roms, etc, then going back to stock, your bootloader would have remained 5.01, you'd have been able to easily grab the T-Mobile OTA, and I wouldn't be concerned for your device.

But you indicated that you flashed a 5.1 rom + bootloader...and after that, you went back to stock 5.01...so in effect, you've gone up, and then down on your bootloader. Herein lies my concern, and my hope is that you do not end up with a very expensive paperweight, or some effort on your end to unbrick your device.

Time will tell.

I wish you luck.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] EmperorX:
Worked great. I am now on LMY47M.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] micmars:
This is excellent news...please confirm that you had OEM unlock enabled during the update process, and that your phone stays running smoothly after a reboot, flashing a themed app, kernel, etc.

Again, I'm very happy to hear this...though I still would caution against it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] EmperorX:
Reboots fine. I did enable OEM unlock in dev settings (just in case). I won't be flashing a themed app or custom kernel. Trying to stay stock with this phone. I've never done that before, and so far it has been pretty nice.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] pkelly517:
Your concerns are completely without merit.

Stock is stock.

I could go from the lollipop image on my Nexus 4 back to jelly bean. No problems, other than the constant nagging to update. All the partitions are erased and loaded with software that is compatible.

If you try and mix and match stuff, you may have issues. Shoot, with the N4, there were radio downloads you could flash that had bits and pieces of multiple releases, just to retain the T-Mobile LTE capability.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] micmars:
In essence, I'm cautioning people to take counsel of patience when changing their bootloader versions from new to old...meaning the bit of software that allows your device to actually boot, not unlike a computer's BIOS.

This is a Motorola device, those were not...there have been reports of hard bricked devices all over these forums for the past 5+ days, all following the trajectory of the user with whom I've been communicating, though he kept the option to allow OEM unlock selected.

The false dilemma of that which you were able to do on previous Nexus devices is irrelevant to what one can do now on this device.

My concerns are for folks to have a working phone without issue, and taking the proper precautions beforehand are warranted.

Terrific, and I am glad you've had success.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] russlowe73:
Especially since all other nexus devices never had this problem with unlocking and relocking due to this setting in developer settings. I agree with your caution.

I'm trying to go back to stock to get ota update I did once go to 5.1 I've downgraded with success but I can't get stock recovery I can flash everything else its a nexus thought it couldn't be bricked
[Nexus 6 Android Development] darren.wlsn1:
yes, you will see the drivers install section in toolkit.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ronaldheld:
Thanks. I will check when I first plug my phone into my laptop.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] darren.wlsn1:
in the 1st page of thread theres a picture showing "initial setup" also

its odd that build "M" has same radio
[Nexus 6 Android Development] montez.061-:
Did tmo push it to you or did you install it yourself? I went back to catch the ota but they haven't pushed it yet... Weird because I had to get my 6 swapped out and soon as I turned this new one on the update was ready. I'm just impatient I guess I'll wait until they push or it pops up in the kit.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] EmperorX:
I just sideloaded the ota after I downgraded and relocked.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] montez.061-:
Thanks. I tried that already but I can't get the kit to recognize my device in stock recovery, I open device manager and is nowhere to be found to install proper adb so that I can push the ota. Appreciate it tho
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Smegmus Magnus:

On T-Mo:

I thought I bricked last night....

Not sure what happened, but I think there was an error in the APN settings. Kept getting FC on phone and google. Also, saw a "no Sim card installed" error.

I kept jacking with it as the toolkit would still allow me to root and install recovery. Did a reset and it tried to boot up. I skipped every thing I could until it let me into the settings menu.

Once in the cellular networks menu I turned off IPv6 in the selected APN.

If anyone else gets stuck like me, I hope this will help you work through it. :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] EmperorX:
Unplug the USB cable and plug it back in when it is in recovery. Works for me every time!

Any chance of getting the T MO Build # LMY47M Implemented in your toolkit ...?

THank's for all your time and effort , what build # would anyone suggest I go back to , so I can unroot and return to stock so that I can get the update from T MO 'S OTA ....?

THank's in advance for any help it would be Greatly appreciated .......................:good:

The 47M image is not available yet. Only the OTA zip afaik.

You would go back to LRX22C or previous to be able to catch Tmo's OTA of 47M

Hi

I flashed my Nexus 6 64gb with LMY47E

I see only 22gb of free space

It happened the same thing with Nexus 5 32gb but I did factory reset between the settings of the phone (backup and restore) and after that I could see all 32gb.

I tried the same thing with Nexus 6 but I'm not able to see the 64gb

Any idea to solve it?

thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] efrant:
You will need to reboot into the bootloader, plug into a PC and execute the following commands (which will obviously wipe all your data):

fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache
fastboot reboot

I would make sure you bootloader is unlocked and "Allow OEM unlock" in developer settings checked, just to be on the safe side.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] beepsilver:
Noob question

For a noob like me, what SPECIFIC apps should I have on my stock Nexus 6 and Win 7 laptop before I even begin using the NRT?

I will of course turn on USB debugging and enable OEM unlock before starting.

Thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gannjunior:
[MENTION=1566190]efrant[/MENTION]

Yes mate, is unlocked.

Maybe I can execute those commands between TWRP ? (I just installed through the toolkit)

thanks ;)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] WugFresh:
NRT does not require external dependencies. No additional apps are needed if that is your question.

Use NRT to config drivers and then you can proceed to use any of its tools.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] darren.wlsn1:
or just use the toolkit
[Nexus 6 Android Development] beepsilver:
Thanks! Although, I don't have a terminal-type app on my phone...just so you know.

Should I uninstall the USB drivers from my laptop from my previous Motorola Droid Razr HD, or will the toolkit take care of that also?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] micmars:
The toolkit prompts you for anything you need to run properly, including drivers for your device.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] beepsilver:
Thanks Micmars!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gannjunior:

To get the battery percentage on the top in the nexus 5 I launch this command in the nexus toolkit

"adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/system --bind name:s:status_bar_show_battery_percent --bind value:i:1"

and it worked. In the nexus 6 it does not work

I'd like to avoid to use one of the app you can find the store.

Any idea?

thanks

[Nexus 6 Android Development] garenzy:
When setting my current device as 5.1, does it matter which build I choose before Flash Stock + Unrooting?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cory_dre:
How so?

>Fastboot Format?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] beepsilver:
Just wow! I can't believe how such a complicated process was so simplified with this toolkit! I did a ton of reading and watching videos; all went uber smooth. Just what this noob needed.

The only advice I have for those uncomfortable with rooting is follow the instructions from the toolkit to the letter, and if something doesn't seem right, stop and get on this thread and ask questions.

Also, the videos at http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/videos/ are not in an order you'd hope for as a noob for rooting, so here's the order I followed, which is parallel to the actions I took to root:

-Backup and Restore without Root (you'll want this backup on your phone after unlocking)

-Driver Configuration--take your time and look through ALL the drivers for those that WugFresh points out should be removed. Sort by driver, vendor, etc., to find those drivers.

-DroidmodderX's Bootloader Unlock + Root + Custom Recovery (when you get to the step when you check root by using root checker, be sure to grant access right away when the popup displays, otherwise if you wait too long, the popup will disappear and root checker will say root failed...which wasn't the case; just had to be faster the next time :)

-(I didn't see or use a video after root success, but I did a nandroid full backup)

-Remove Forced Data Encryption (Advanced Utilities > boot kernel)

-Another Nandroid full backup

Unlocking was the part where I felt like I was at the point of no return, so when it was finished, I searched high and low in device settings for confirmation that it worked--but never found it. There must be some place to check that it was successful rather than relying on the presence of error messages in the log to indicate it wasn't?

Anyway my nexus is way snappier now with encryption off--glad everything went smooth--thanks WugFresh!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] WugFresh:
Nice. Thank you. Happy it helped.

Yeah, maybe it would be a good idea for me to order those videos better.

To answer your question about confirming unlocking, the easiest way is in bootloader mode - it should say something like "Bootloader Status: Unlock"

However, since you already successfully did other steps afterwards like rooting and removing forced encryption - its apparent you unlocked. Cheers.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] WugFresh:
Cool cmd but off topic. Also no, not sure. Maybe make a thread in N6 forum or search for one on various tweaks.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] WugFresh:
Yes - that brings up an interface where you can select which partitions you want fastboot format and it will do it in one operation.

Hi guys,

I ran into an issue while going from 5.0.1 to 5.1(LMY47E). My phone remains on the Google splash screen after using the "Flash Stock + Unroot" method. It never makes further than the Google screen; I can enter bootloader.

These are the two scenarios I tried.

1. "Flash Stock + Unroot" - No Wipe + Force Flash Mode + No Force Encrypt. Wait 20 minutes after procedure.

2. "Flash Stock + Unroot" - Force Flash Mode

3. "Flash Stock + Unroot" - No Wipe + Force Flash Mode + Post-Flash Factory Reset+ No Force Encrypt. Wait 20 minutes after procedure.

What am I forgetting or not doing correctly?

Thank you.
