No force encrypt. Set to encryptable.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Jsunn:
Thank you for the link.

I want to confirm that this is the exact same boot image as the stock just with encryption disabled? I use the following steps to install to update to the latest mob30d:

First I Unzip everything...

1. Fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-shamu...

Fastboot reboot-bootloader

2. Fastboot flash radio radio-shamu...

Fastboot reboot-bootloader

3. Fastboot flash boot boot.img (a no force encrypt boot.img)

4. Fastboot flash system system.img

5. Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Thanks!

-Jason
[Nexus 6 Android Development] aoaleman:
It is indeed stock boot without force encryption.

You might want to move recovery up right after bootloader.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Jsunn:
Awesome! Thank you!

[Nexus 6 Android Development] leondestiny:
i am backing up my data to perform this process, i would like to ask whether this disables the forced encryption permanently or not..?

like if i flash my custom ROM back on again , will my phone still have the disabled encryption or is it only with the img provided? thanks in advance
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ktmom:
If the ROM/kernel you flash does not force encrypt, you'll stay unencrypted. Just look for a statement in the ROM thread that the ROM does not force encrypt.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] leondestiny:
amazing , thank you.

edit: [MENTION=6617276]ktmom[/MENTION] can you please tell me where i can get a no force encrypt img..? the ones in this thread links are all down :/
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ktmom:
Sorry, after the M release, I'm encrypted and haven't see any reason to unencrypt. [emoji4] I don't have lags or stuttering so haven't bothered. If you're on M, you'll need a boot img that doesn't force encryption.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] leondestiny:
thanks !
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bendrexl:
I'm on Project Fi, and my N6 is so laggy it's useless. Can / should I flash the latest "MOB30I"?

If so, should I use the boot image for "MOB29X" linked above?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] aoaleman:
You can definitely try it. Just backup your files first.

If not, you may just have an app running hogging up resources, close it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bendrexl:
Big thanks for that link - grabbed the latest MOB30I boot.img and flashed along with http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/development/rom-rooted-deoxeded-fast-stable-t3252922/page40
[Nexus 6 Android Development] 0oVicero0:
how to work in CM13 ? I have tried it . but it do not work.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ktmom:
You need a kernel that doesn't force encryption, then wipe + format data to get rid of your current encryption. Of course this will delete all of your data so you want to back up anything you aren't willing to lose.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] moterbbb:
does anyone have MOB31E no force encryption boot.img ？
[Nexus 6 Android Development] athulele:
Found this on AFH yesterday - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424965546
[Nexus 6 Android Development] moterbbb:
What's the difference among these files?

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=111352

Should I flash boot.img only, or all of them?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] athulele:
"boot-mob31e-noencrypt-gerard-v14.img" - Encryption isn't forced

"boot-mob31e-systemroot-gerard-v14.img" - Force-encrypt and forces superSU to be in system mode

"boot-mob31e-systemroot-noencrypt-gerard-v14.img" - No force encrypt + system superSU

the boot.img files are meant to be flashed in fastboot while the kernel.zip can be flashed using TWRP.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] istperson:
Is Gerard kernel a custom kernel?

Anyway, this is how I get rid of force encryption:

hey ，don't know if the nexus 7 has the forece encryption kernel too？ if not ，after sideloading the OTAfile， is it no need to flash the noforceencryption boot.img？ or There isn't any force encryption boot.img for nexus7 at all？
[Nexus 6 Android Development] moterbbb:
When I get the whole ota MOB31E file, almost 1GB, after flash that from LMY48M, I flash your custom boot.img. Then after a few days, I receive the system's October patch OTA remind. When I reboot my nexus6, into the recovery, it says I got the LMY48M userkey ,not MOB31e to MOB31H. So I don't get it. After I flash the https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/shamu-ota-mob31e-f90f1dcb.zip file, Does that mean I'm on MOB31E already. in the future, if I want OTA, Should I always flash the full OTA image? If that's true, there is no meaning of OTA for me.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] thex2:
What kernel do you recommend for this? OP recommended, on post #851, zen AnyKernel for CM12.1, but wasn't sure if that was still good with CM13.0?

Other info in case it matters: XT1103 64GB - Verizon - CM13.0 (cm-13.0-20160820-SNAPSHOT-ZNH5YAO0J7-shamu.zip)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ktmom:
Which kernel to use is an open question. There are several good, non-forced encrypt kennels available now. For all I know (i don't use CM), the CM release may now be non-forced encrypt. Things have evolved significantly since the N6 was released.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gkennedy88:
Where can I find the boot.img files for the most recent builds? Like the December build NBD91U?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ianmck:
I was looking for this myself and found one. Search for this filename:

kernel-shamu-n-n6f26q-noencrypt-gerard
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gkennedy88:
Moved past that now I used Gerard's for a while but his Nexus 6 is broke so he stopped after the January update so now I'm waiting for someone to make one for the February update or for the Nexus Root Toolkit to be updated.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] razorloves:
you can use fedpatcher

Not to sound like a total idiot, but being as this is my first "Nexus" device...how do I know this worked?, how do I verify I did it right?.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Xileforce:
Download the androbench app and run the "all" test. If your sequential read speed is around 200-300 then it worked.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] adbFreedom:
You can go to settings>security and if you see the option to "Encrypt phone" under Encryption then it was successful

Thanks! 377.7 MB/s here.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Ingenium13:
I'm curious how android encrypts existing data (ie if you select encrypt phone at some point in the future) without wiping data? Does it need at least 50% free space?

I ask because I'm thinking of disabling encryption for now and re-enabling it in the future if Google enables hardware accelerated encryption.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dwang:
some battery life numbers with encryption disabled.

summary:

total battery time: 19h 10min

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Nvrenough:
can i flash this through flashify

sorry for the dumb question
[Nexus 6 Android Development] BoOsT:
Try it so I will know if I should do it lol
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Nvrenough:
lol i did it and it worked but I got stuck in a screen asking me for a password. I went into recovery and wiped but it kept coming back to the encryption screen enter password :(
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mk92595:
I removed encryption for both my N9 and N6. Didn't test out speed yet
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Nvrenough:
flashify works :)

Damn the phone flys now

FYI
[Nexus 6 Android Development] J.Guido85:
Just to make sure, All i need to do is unlock the bootloader to do this correct? no root or recovery needs me done correct?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cwalker0906:
To use flashify do i use boot image to select the file?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Nvrenough:
Yes
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Blaze420916:
After flashing in flashify it boots and then asks for a password what the hell did I do wrong
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Nvrenough:
boot in to recovery and format userdata
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Blaze420916:
Nope did not work
[Nexus 6 Android Development] thelowsters:
Just finished decrypting the phone, worked perfectly. Was wondering if it's necessary to re-lock the bootloader after?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Blaze420916:
Prior to using flashify I was unlocked rooted and has twrp installed then I used flashify and upon boot it said enter my password. When I entered the wrong password it asked if I wanted to factory reset. I tried that and also in recovery and still asking for password. Good thing for back ups but how do I use this work flashify?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Nvrenough:
make sure you are wiping user data in twrp above the factory data swipe. I just did mine again to test it and it worked.

from the password screen reboot by holding power volume up/down and enter recovery that way then wipe user data and it should work.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Blaze420916:
It says format data right
[Nexus 6 Android Development] thelowsters:
Also my Antutu benchmark encrypted was 49669 and after decryption is now 50587
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Nvrenough:
U want to wipe user data in twrp. When you boot into twrp recovery and you click wipe then right above where it says factory reset you will see whipe user data. Type the word yes and reboot
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Blaze420916:
I'm sorry for being a dumbass but this is all I see only format data.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Nvrenough:
Hit format data
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Blaze420916:
You are the man thanks for barring with me
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Nvrenough:
Glad you got it. :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Blaze420916:
Seems I have to reroot now
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Nvrenough:
Yes that's what I'm dealing with now. Doing this broke my root as well. Wugfresh put out a fix so hopefully it will be in his kit soon. Then we can update through his kit and gain root and disable encryption.

If you go to his post you will see a file that we can flash through adb.

If you choose to reroot through the tool then you will be encrypted once again. I tried it and this happend for me :(
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Blaze420916:
Yes while you were helping me figure out my issue I came across that and used it through flashify and came out rooted with encryption guess we must be patient I guess
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Nvrenough:
Thanks man. You just helped me LOL. I will start over now. Awesome
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Blaze420916:
Let me know how it works out pm me
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Smallsmx3:
Use cf autoroot
[Nexus 6 Android Development] xPXGx:
Instructions were easy to follow. Took no time at all. Thank you so much. N6 is decrypted
[Nexus 6 Android Development] carlz28:
I did follow the exact steps in the OP and used CF root. But got the same result as the person you quoted. I can disable encryption no problem. If I try to root, it flashes the modded kernel that allows root, but ren-enables encryption. Its not booting the modded kernel, the commands are showing its flashing it. So it stay permanent. So now I have a rooted device but encryption is back on. If I root first so the files get flashed into /system, then flash the no_encryption kernel, factory resetting throws me into the the password bootloop.

I'm definitely not new to adb/fastboot commands. So I know what commands are being given, and this is just not working for me.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Smallsmx3:
So for anyone who decrypted, battery life effected at all?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bbedward:
CF-Auto-Root wasn't flashing a modified kernel last I checked. This won't work with the Wug Toolkit method because that's replacing the kernel with something with permissive selinux maybe, idk.

You guys definitely aren't running it correctly. Just get it, run the sh/batch script or run "fastboot boot CF-root-image.img" then you should be set.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] crashercarlton:
I'm not sure i flashed the commands and was unencrypted. then fastboot chainfires root command now i'm sitting in a bootloop where its shows "GOOGLE" then keeps reflashing the auto-root sequence.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bbedward:
You want "fastboot boot" not "fastboot flash boot" for chainfires root.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] crashercarlton:
I tried without flash and it gave some error. So i tried "flash". Im back at work. It does say patching kernel however. Have to wait till i get home again in a few hours
[Nexus 6 Android Development] xanaxdroid:
This. Chainfire's root method doesn't actually flash a kernel. It just makes you boot using a kernel that sets up root on the stock kernel. That's why doing fastboot flash boot will make you bootloop.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bongostl:
Any way to confirm on my phone that encryption is not active?

---nm---

You can go to settings>security and if you see the option to "Encrypt phone" under Encryption then it was successful
[Nexus 6 Android Development] charesa39:
Curious about this as well. I don't really notice my N6 lagging right now (encrypted). However, if there is significant increase in battery life, I would unencrypt it in a heartbeat.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] crashercarlton:
Alright guys I've got everything working now.

Just do as the OP says...

To Regain Root: I simply fastboot boot CF-AUTO-ROOT-shamu-shamu-nexus6.img and here are the results...

Decrypted & Rooted.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mehdi_s82:
You don't notice how faster your Nexus 6 actually is until you try it without encryption. Everything is faster and smoother. I unencrypted this morning cannot give definite answer yet but I feel that battery usage pace is slower than with encryption
[Nexus 6 Android Development] charesa39:
Hmm. Color me intrigued. I'll probably unencrypt today then before I fully move everything over from my N5 to my N6 since I'll just have to start all over again after this anyways.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] amberkalvin:
Thanks OP. This is a great thread! Definitely doing this when I receive mine on Tuesday. Keep up the good work guys!!!!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Smallsmx3:
If you didn't use lollipop on the n5 then you prob won't notice any stuttering, but coming from the n5 the n6 just wasn't as fluid until after unencrypted. Now everything is good again
[Nexus 6 Android Development] yohandesilva1:
Please can you upload a speed test comparison between the two?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bigbabys:
Honestly you are making me want to do this so bad, but I am trying to put my crackflashing days behind me and I don't want to factory reset again until a solid custom ROM comes out...oh decisions...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Smallsmx3:
It really doesn't take that much time..... With wugs toolkit you can backup everything and restore it
[Nexus 6 Android Development] datsyuk:
Dying to see this if someone can make a good comparison video or just do a couple tests breezing through apps / UI.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] criDikal:
Am I the only one who attempts to flash this and gets a "to start Android, enter your password" on a fresh image?

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Nvrenough:
You need to wipe user data in twrp
[Nexus 6 Android Development] criDikal:
I'm assuming if I have the option to "encrypt phone" that means the encryption is disabled?

[Nexus 6 Android Development] NightHawkUndead:

[Nexus 6 Android Development] khepacheley:
Sorry, I am noob.

On doing this, is the warranty is void??

and will the device still receive updates from Google??
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Smallsmx3:
Yes because you had to unlock the boot loader and root your phone. Good thing is that it's a nexus phone. You can reflash a factory image and lock the boot loader and no one would ever know. If you have T-Mobile I've also read people sending their phone in rooted with custom roms and their warranty being honored. If it's a play store phone Google doesn't care if your messing with it
[Nexus 6 Android Development] khepacheley:
I just want to remove the encrypting, no Custom ROMs or rooting..

Will the phone receive the future OTA updates from Google?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Smallsmx3:
Oh. No big deal then. I think you should be fine getting OTAs but it will re encrypt the phone.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] itsmikeramsay:
Great work in finding this! Do you mind sharing with me where in the ramdisk (I'm assuming) you disabled the encryption? Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] khepacheley:
So, basically need to repeat this step after every OTA?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Cheater912:
Has anybody made something that decrypts the data, so a format isn't needed?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] stuff:
To my knowledge, there's no possible way to decrypt it to where it's now unencrypted.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Smallsmx3:
Sort of, if there are kernel changes in the Ota than the boot IMG would have to be updated to those changes, and change to no encrypt. But then the process would be the same

---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 PM ----------

If it were that way then there would be no reason for encryption to protect data.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Cheater912:
Well, you'd need the key to decrypt the data obviously. It's definitely possible.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Smallsmx3:
Would this work?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Cheater912:
Yeah, I'll see if it'll fit in the micro usb port.

1. While calling, Mute button is added to the main screen and volume slider as well

2. In drop down menu, a different icon is shown when connected to Bluetooth or remote connection via phone

3. Battery life improved, me thinks.

4. Auto Call forwarding added to Call Menu

5. Smoother Interface
[Samsung Gear S] raiu:
Adding tasks is still not supported. :(
[Samsung Gear S] foxbat121:
It is a Gear Manager update on the phone side we are talking about here, not Gear SFirmwre update.
[Samsung Gear S] raiu:
Yup, but i have noticed when I owned the Galaxy Gear and the gear 2 that some Gear manager updates would change things like this and even Svoice! Sometimes even the vibration would change on the gear 2.... Remember this watch is also an extension of your phone. Most of the watches services and apps are running on your phone first.
[Samsung Gear S] foxbat121:
But none of what Akram posted occurred without a firmware updated. I noticed zero changes on my watch. So, I think he is just confused this thread as talking of Gear firmware update which is not even new for most of us (there is a day-one update and that's about it).
[Samsung Gear S] raiu:
i do, also the battery usage is a littel better. I'm normally down to 81% by now and its sitting at 93 with heavy usage.
[Samsung Gear S] foxbat121:
I have seen good days and bad days on battery life. So, today it appears to be the bad day for me. Already at 81% 1 hour after took off the charger with BT connection. So, no, the update to Gear Manager doesn't change anything for me for battery life.
[Samsung Gear S] sbrownla:
If the app update causes the phone connection to the device to draw less power from the device (less poling for notifications, updating time and better location management) I could see how it could have an affect on the Gear S battery life ... I haven't noticed any differences though.
[Samsung Gear S] CaptJMK:
Don't know if it happenedwith this update, but I see a watch face that is very cool and more features on it, #of steps,readable date, weather, etc.

Keep it coming samsung!
[Samsung Gear S] js349:
The update appears to have broken having apps open automatically (or by touching Open app on device) when a notification pops up on your watch. This has happened with previous updates then the next update fixes that issue and now this one broke it again. To use this function, you need to have Smart relay checked in Notifications in the Gear Manager.
[Asus Transformer TF701] vampyric_blood:
So I am back after i lost my beloved TF700 about 6 months ago. I am now on the prowl for a new tablet and i really want one with a dock again. I plan on using it as a laptop replacement so the keyboard and the full size USB are a huge plus to me. The battery makes it even better. So i remeber sbdags praising the TF701 back then when i first lost my tablet. My thing is this, should i go for the TF701 or is there a better option out there with a dock? Also, has anyone heard anything, good or bad about the new TF303? I know its european and such only right now, but that is the beauty of buying online, and who knows, they may eventually bring it to the states.
