I am on a 5.0.1 ROM. I flashed the 5.1 baseband, now i cant receive calls. Can I use the toolkit to flash a 5.0.1 radio .IMG?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] J.Guido85:
Quick question,

I decided to unroot, lock and go back to stock last night. I applied the 5.1 update and im pretty much stock. No more unlocked bootloader, No root or anything. Can i use this tool to apply the latest 5.1 update that was just released today since i have the factory image?

MOST IMPORTANTLY...If i can do this, will it wipe my phone? I'd love to update to the latest OTA, But i dont want to have to set up everything again.

Thanks in advance!

Donate incoming!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Pecata:
Is order to flash anything with the tool you will need unlocked bootloader at least...unlocking the bootloader will wipe your device...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] DebianDog:
As of lollipop Google will backup up a lot of your app settings and will restore them when you reconnect to the Play Store. however if you are rooted I highly suggest you get titanium backup. When I moved from my last phone I did nothing but get the new phone, get root with this tool, download titanium backup from their website, copy the apk and my backup directory from my old phone ( it would be easier if this had an SD card) to my Nexus. Restored everything with titanium backup. The only thing I had to set up was my Bluetooth and WiFi.

Now when I get ready to do an upgrade I take the backup directory and copy it to my PC just in case everything has to get wiped (for whatever reason) heck even if I brick it all I have to do, after get a new phone, is just root and restore. Haven't bricked one yet in five years though knock-knock

If things work out, on Thursday I should have a Verizon N6 on 5.1. Should I be deleting your old toolkit, install the new version before unlocking and rooting?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] DebianDog:
There will not be a new version of the software it will auto update when it finds the new images

[Nexus 6 Android Development] J.Guido85:
I don't mean to doubt you, But i was watching some of the videos/tutorials on Wugs site and it seems like you don't have to be unlocked to flash new OTA. I guess i just want to be sure..

---------- Post added at 12:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:41 AM ----------

Wug, I've heard a yes and a no, Can you please confirm this for me...

I decided to unroot, lock and go back to stock last night. I applied the 5.1 update and im pretty much stock. No more unlocked bootloader, No root or anything. Can i use this tool to apply the latest 5.1 update that was just released today since i have the factory image?

MOST IMPORTANTLY...If i can do this, will it wipe my phone? I'd love to update to the latest OTA, But i dont want to have to set up everything again.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] WugFresh:
There are two different things:

1. An OTA zip: which can be applied via Advanced Utilities > Sideload OTA. This does not required an unlocked bootloader. This doesn't wipe data.

2. A factory image. This requires an unlocked bootloader. This wipes data by default, however there is an option in the kit called "no wipe mode" which can be used to update without a data wipe.

To avoid a data wipe, you eliminated the possibility of using the factory pack because you relocked (and unlocking again wipes). So your only option is to Google for an LMY47E OTA zip.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] J.Guido85:
Ok, so I downloaded this ota zip from here

http://www.androidcentral.com/here-are-android-51-ota-update-links-and-how-use-them

Is that the correct file to sideload through advanced utilities?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] WugFresh:
I mean.. that clearly doesn't say LMY47E.. Please re-read my original post to you.

There is a high probability that Google hasn't released an OTA zip for that latest build yet.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] J.Guido85:
Sorry about that, I thought that was the right link. I get the ideas though, once Google releases the ota zip, I'm good to go.

Thanks!

Do I have to force this?

[IMG="Flash stock + unroot"]http://i.imgur.com/jTWVgU0.png[/IMG]
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TonikJDK:
On 5.1 D and I just force flashed stock and unroot of E with no wipe. I am encrypted. Then root and custom recovery. Then I booted into twrp and wiped cache and davik. Went perfectly with no issues.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] HipKat:
I answered that 4 posts up from yours
[Nexus 6 Android Development] DebianDog:
Cool I did not like the idea of "forcing" it but it applied everything and it looked "clean"

Now I am patiently waiting on "Optimizing app X of 207" :eek:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] HipKat:
Ok, maybe the first time, I wasn't simplifying it enough.

I was on Chroma, decrypted when I decided to upgrade to 5.1 SO, I plugged my phone into my computer, and opened the NRT.

Then I clicked on Flash Stock + Root and guess what? It gave me the option to d/l and install 5.1 so I said, yes, I would like to do that and yes I will go with Force Flash and no I would not like to do the no wipe thing, since I backed up my storage first. Then I avoided the unencrypted stuff, too.

In other words, I did NOT relock my bootloader because I've done a bit of reading and realized I did not have to and I chose to be completely stock. Meaning wiped and encrypted.

Crazy! I know, right?

When my phone booted, I skipped over all the setup wizard stuff, then I went back to the NRT and choose {{Gasp}} Root! Here's the wild part, It rooted my phone for me, and it flashed TWRP SU and it even rebooted to TWRP just to make sure it worked, then it booted back to system. I STILL skipped over the setup wizard stuff then I thought, why stop now?

So, I then clicked Launch, under advanced utilities, Boot (kernel) -it's hard to miss right up at the top- then I selected No-Force Encrypt. Being the daring person I am I let 'er rip and it actually downloaded the right img file, WOW, and flashed it, and then rebooted.

OK, OK, THIS time, I did all the setup wizard stuff and when I went to settings/Storage I saw my storage was correct!!

Then I restored my backup storage folder, restored my apps w/data with TB and set my phone all up and in less than 2 hours, I was done with everything. No problemos!

Use the toolkit to unlock your boot loader, flash lmy47e, just select the option to keep userdata when you are on the IMG selection part of the toolkit.

Unlocking the bootloader will wipe the phone, so keeping userdata in the next step is kind of redundant...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] WugFresh:
These instructions still stand for LMY47E,

I have to delay v2.0.5 release until Saturday/Sunday. The code is done but I haven't tested everything enough and I will be away from my main dev machine for a few days. Stay tuned.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dabug123:
Right but coming from stock Verizon nexus all we need is regular check OEM unlock in dev options, use tool to unlock and root/recovery?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] DebianDog:
Yes read and understand everything that's on the screen. If you're not sure don't #YOLO it. [emoji3] Stop and get on the forum. But honestly with the tool if you're reading and following the instructions you will not mess it up. Common sense also dictates you should start with a near full battery.

Your first fastboot unlock will wipe your phone. In theory that will be the last time you'll need to do that people get obsessed about relocking their phone so they can take OTA but the reality is if you wait less than 24 hours you can get the latest version just like everyone else. Actually with this phone before everybody else!

If there is a gotcha on this phone it is its want to switch back to OEM lock mode double check these settings all the time.

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Nexus 6 Android Development] WugFresh:
Thanks for the info, I never thought about that setting changing. After a factory reset does it get disabled? I should probably put a warning in the beginning of the OEM Lock script to make sure users have that enabled in case after they relock and end up soft bricking at some point - they'd left unable to unlock again - aka SOL.

Since unlocking forces a wipe, I really don't see much value in that "security" feature... Pretty bad idea if you ask me - will ultimately result in more RMA's.

** Note to all, unless you are planning on selling or returning a device, or you are a secret agent - no reason ever to relock the bootloader - its just going to make things more complicated and/or leave you with less options in the event something goes wrong. If you leave the device stock, unlocking doesn't break OTAs - so again, zero reasons not to unlock and leave it that way.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] DebianDog:
Wug,

I am not sure what disables it . For example; last night after the upgrade, I flashed root and TWRP with your tool and this morning I flashed the lean kernel (in TWRP zip file. just to see what that's all about) and just now looked at my settings and it is off again! so I don't know.

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Nexus 6 Android Development] WugFresh:
Thanks for the info. Interesting. I will ask around to some other devs. When you flashed did you wipe anything?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Pecata:
I have noticed the same thing. I am running stock, rooted, unencrypted and every time I reboot the device the OEM Unlock option always resets to off. Once your bootloader is unlocked that option shouldn't matter but still I have no idea why it keeps changing on its own.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jrbxx7:

Lmy47e is already added to the kit. Just set your build as that and use adv utilities > fastboot flash > boot/kernel > no force encrypt
[Nexus 6 Android Development] trilogee:
Hi Wug,

Thanks for an amazing tool - I actually posted this in the N7 thread accidently but do you have any ideas what's going on here (see bolded text at bottom for current status)

As an update - I was able to solve this issue by deleting the old N7 drivers I had via usbdeview.

Since then I've been able to connect to sideload and the update begins but then I get

E: footer is wrong

E: signature verification falied

Installation aborted

What am I doing wrong here? This is driving me nuts! This is the process:

The factory image is downloaded as a tgz

extract here > .tar

extract here > creates image-shamu-lmy47e folder

Within

the folder is a zip called image-shamu-lmy47e- this is file I'm selecting via root toolkit.

If I go back to step 3 and create a zip out of that folder it contains all the other flash files and what not. Tried using that and it gives me the same error...

BLAAAHH....any help would be super appreciated.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] darren.wlsn1:
@ trilogee i had a bad usb cable cause similar issue, just a thought.

woo panic mode deactivated. didnt realize this wouldnt relock the device. Was able to quickly reroot via toolkit and am in business now.

TLDR if youre on stock but there an update available that youre having troubles pushing you can just use the "flash stock + unroot" function, then reroot the device.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] jrbxx7:
Yes it will work. I went from 5.0 to stock unrooted 5.1 then re rooted and flashed recovery. Just make sure u select the oem unlock option in developer options before unlocking the bootloader if u haven't unlocked already.

No. All the ones in the kit I made myself. The actual edit is trivial and is something I fully automated on my end.

Making the no force encrypt ones is just another part of my scripts.

Does anyone have a step by step root method that works with Ubuntu? Ive been searching on line, ubuntu forums, and everything in between. My work only uses linux for their day to day business.

I'm on T-Mobile and I see that this factory image was released. I have a couple of questions:

Are there any material differences between LMY47E and LMY47D? Specifically around HD calling?

I'm running LMY47D now, unlocked, rooted and decrypted. Can LMY47E be flashed over LMY47D while maintaining decryption?

"from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_shamu"

it should be as simple as using fastboot to unlock the bootloader (with 'fastboot oem unlock') and then flashing twrp as a recovery and flashing supersu (using the recovery flashable zip from http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu) in twrp.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] woodsman4:
i personally don't have a nexus 6 (will be getting it this weekend), but i'll give it a try.

step 1. open up a terminal, make sure android-tools-adb and android-tools-fastboot are installed.

step 2. type 'fastboot devices', if a device shows up then proceed to step 3.

step 3. type 'fastboot oem unlock', a prompt should show up on your phone, use the volume keys to accept it.

step 4. download the twrp image for shamu from here: http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/270/

step 5. cd into (likely) your downloads folder, and then issue 'fastboot flash recovery <insert filename of recovery image here>'

step 6. use the volume keys to navigate to reboot into recovery

step 7. push the supersu zip to your phone, with 'adb push <name of supersu zip here> /sdcard/ '.

step 8. install the supersu zip in twrp. using the on screen buttons.

that should do it.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Drivebypunch:
I apologize in advance, as I am sure it has been asked several times in this forum.

I am looking for the simplest way to get the update on my phone. I went through all the standard steps in unlocking and rooting my phone with this toolkit. So I am rooted/unlocked and currently on 5.0.1.

What is the simplest way to just get the update on my phone? I am not worried about losing my data, I would actually prefer a wipe.

Is it as simple as connecting my phone and hitting the Flash stock and unroot button? and just re rooting it after?

I have read through several pages here, and Im really just hoping for a step by step simple update.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] micmars:
You went from the 5.1 bootloader to the 5.01 stock build, which includes the 5.01 bootloader, and took the T-Mobile OTA? Good for you! I still am a bit uncomfortable doing that, and I wouldn't recommend it.

Haven't got the OTA yet, but, successfully on 5.0.1. Will capture the OTA if it hasn't been already.... Pretty crazy to me that it isn't out in the wild yet o_O

Having downgraded your bootloader, you may run into some difficulty,especially if your option to allow OEM unlock is disabled prior to the update.

As noted, please be careful.
