Yes, he follows googles lead. Totally stock images from google. So with the tool you 'flash to stock and un root the I version. Then on the next page you hit the check boxes to force and no wipe. That saves your apps and data.

After reboot you hit the tool and root and flash recovery.

[MENTION=3110798]WugFresh[/MENTION] the no force encrypt for M preview 2's link is broken. Please fix.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] beepsilver:
The "I" build for the Verizon Nexus 6 worked like a charm, no hiccups. Did a nandroid backup, unrooted with no force encryption (I opted to wipe everything and start from scratch). Then rerooted and performed another nandroid backup.

I realize we can select the no wipe option, but it's still going to be a pain to routinely run through these steps if Google does in fact send out monthly updates.....the persistent (unswipe-able) carrier notification that there's an update available for download will be annoying if one decides not to update.

Guess it's not possible to prevent this within the NRT?

FYI, a software problem with Messenger that I had before this update still persists: While in the Google Messenger app I'm still unable to select an attachment from Google Photos. Both apps are up to date. If I uninstall updates from Messenger, then it works fine--albeit without some of the functionality of the latest version, such as the ability to attach gifs. Thought maybe it was a problem with my last update to 5.1.1 using the NRT, but apparently it's an app problem--I've made sure my Verizon data access point is correct. Don't want to hijack this thread, but if anyone has a fix for this, please PM me. Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] vadergr:
Hopefully an easy question.

I have international nexus 6 , unlocked , rooted+ TWRP (all with the toolkit) and with official LMY47Z rom.

Since i am not able to recieve OTA's i was thinking to use the sideload update option to update to stock LMY48I without loosing anything (just like OTA would work)

So from here :

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/ref-nexus-6-stock-ota-urls-t2906493

i should download :

LMY48I from LMY47Z https://android.googleapis.com/pack...amu-ota-LMY48I-from-LMY47Z-superblock-fix.zip

and choose this file ?

Am i thinking it correct?I don't want to mess things up.

Will root remain active ?

Thanks in advance.

Decrypted boot img for lyz28j up yet? Thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Sieber101:
Not yet
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Nirak:
You don't have to download the file, the toolbox does that for you once you're in the 'reflash stock and unroot' feature. You can choose the stock firmware you want to flash in a drop down menu. New international build is there.

After flashing you have to root again with the toolbox
[Nexus 6 Android Development] vadergr:
I think that with this method you loose app and data and you have to setup the phone again from scratch.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Nirak:
[MENTION=5419729]vadergr[/MENTION]

No you don't have to loose apps and data, there's an option to keep them. I updated with the tool yesterday and all i lost was root and some system related/depending apps like the modaco modkit. I flashed that again through twrp.

You also have to check the 'force flash' option, otherwise the update fails.

Just read every pop up in the tool carefully and you can work it out, i did, and I'm a totally Nexus newbie ☺
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Didgeridoohan:
Nope. Sideloading is the same as receiving an OTA. Won't work on your modified system.

Go with the suggested method or only flash the system.img from the factory image (as this is the only updated part). Can be done through NRT, i believe, or better yet, fastboot.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Stephen:
I made a flashable zip for it. You can download it from this post
[Nexus 6 Android Development] vadergr:
Thanks a lot to both of you .Probably saved me from trouble :)

So the procedure through the toolkit is the following ?

1)Flash stock and unroot (device is normal)

2)Select latest image (LMY48I) . Automatic download

3)From the settings options i select "no wipe mode" (to keep my data, right?) and "force flash mode" .What about "post flash factory reset" ?Do i check it ?

and then it proceeds to the update but i keep all my installed programms and data/photos/music etc loosing the root access.

4)In order to root again i go to Root (I have custom recovery ,should i check the box again?) and it restores the root function again without loosing programms/data.

Are all of these correct ?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Lancez:
[MENTION=3110798]WugFresh[/MENTION] waiting for update :good:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Didgeridoohan:
Correct, with a couple of additions.

Don't tick "post flash factory reset", it'll wipe your device. And, you'll also loose TWRP, so yes, you'll need check that box as well.

Lastly, make sure you have backups before starting.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TonikJDK:
You are flashing to stock in step one. So I THINK that removes recovery. Never checked to be sure....I always add recovery in step 4. That also gets you the newest TWRP.

Other than that you are correct in all your steps for no data loss.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] vadergr:
Just to confirm .... Everything was flawless just like you said.

Thanks again!

(Maybe in a few days i will ask for confirmation of the method to install custom roms :p )
[Nexus 6 Android Development] timal:
Downloading the image to flash system.img as you suggested. With NRT when flashed, unrooted and installed the latest sytem , my radio didn't work no baseband found. NRT is excellent by the way.

All fixed with system.img replacement.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Stigga:
Following these steps would I lose stuff like titanium backup and my settings in the Franco kernel app or does everything stay exactly the same? Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TonikJDK:
Franco app settings will be there, just open it and reinstall the kernel. I did that, no issues. TI will be fine.

Just remember to reroot.

I have to do that manually or can the toolbox do it for me?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Highway 55:
After you flash M preview let it boot and immediately go download your favorite custom kernel and supersu. Then flash only twrp via the advanced options in NRT. Reboot directly to bootloader, select recovery and flash your kernel and SuperSU. Reboot and profit.

Used Wug NRT205 to lock my N6, now it won't boot

I was running Android 5.1.1 with my N6 unlocked and rooted.

Android kept notifying me of an update, but each time that I tried to update it, it failed.

Finally, I came across a posting that reminded me, that I may not be able to receive OTA updates on my rooted N6 device.

Today, I decided to LOCK my N6 by flashing to stock, but after the flash was finished, my N6 will no longer boot up.

Even using the soft boot, it still won't boot up. Phone won't recognize ANY of the modes (Start, Restart bootloader, Recovery mode, Factory, etc.)

With the exception of the Power off option, it will recognize this. Basically, my phone is "bricked" and I need to get it unbricked. Please Help!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Didgeridoohan:
You don't lock your bootloader by flashing a stock image. Did you specifically use the option to lock the bootloader? If you didn't, you should still be able to fastboot a new image on there (if you're using NRT, tick the soft brick option when flashing stock + unroot).

If you did lock, you're in more trouble. If so, do you have TWRP?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
How do you get to a screen showing all that options?

Is there text on the screen showing the 'locked' or 'unlocked' ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RayEdmondson:
When you boot your phone, look at the bottom of the Google startup screen. If there's an unlocked icon, then you're unlocked.

From Deacon,

I have a Nexus 6, when I boot into bootloader mode, yes All of those options are presented as a choice.

Thanks for reminding me, I was too post that I was able to solve the problem by using WUGS Nexus Toolkit, and flashing my N6 with Android 5.0.0. It did take about 13mins to boot up. But it did. My N6 is backup and running again.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] xRogerxC:

Hi everyone, It's been a long time since I've rooted a phone (I think 3 years) so I'm way out of touch with the whole process. Is this process as easy as it seems?

[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
Yes, it's as easy as taking candy from a baby. I suggest you read the instructions before your start. In regards to the updates, they are always updated in Wug's tool kit, no need having to look for them.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RayEdmondson:

Always..

Always read before you do something that your not sure on your what doing? Locking the bootloader will create problem if you dont know how to go by.. I know its too late now. But what you should have done is to boot up completely first went to setting and untick the OEM unlocking option.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Didgeridoohan:
Just to be clear...

You mentioned that you saw TWRP. If you by any chance still have TWRP as a recovery you could try

fastboot format cache

and

fastboot format userdata

After that you should be able to transfer a rom to your phone and flash in TWRP.

Of course this is under the assumption that you on some off chance still have TWRP. If not, you're SOL. Sorry...

I've read the great instructions of Didge...etc and your successfull recovery.

This reaction concerns only the 'failed to mount' error in TWRP. It means in my opinion that the internal memory is not accessible by TWRP.

Reformat is the only option.

When you flashed a ROM without format and you are able to access the internal memory again, you were lucky.
