Just a thought - you have set NRT to use the latest SuperSU Beta 2.52, and not the stable release 2.46 (which will not root Marshmallow)?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rushter:
Wondering if I do each TWRP zip file separately to root and then jump back into recovery if that would work.....

---------- Post added at 10:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 PM ----------

I am pretty sure that it pushed 2.52 to the device and that is what I saw. But I can try again after Flash Stock and Unroot thing finishes again.

---------- Post added at 10:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 PM ----------

Double checked log - it was 2,52

I am on 58R, can I flash back to lollipop and wait for the OTA? What would be the ideal 5.1.1 build# to be on? Or is there no prerequisite for getting the MM OTA?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rushter:
I can't get the phone to boot. So if I put it in bootloader mode then I can flash stock and unroot. And then I can, sometimes, get it to boot fine but once I try to root it after that - nothing goes right. I am following all the instructions, phone has been wiped numerous times.

I followed the Google + instructions and the regular NRT instructions.

At the erasing 'userdata' i was previously getting an error that had an error about links or something. But that is only sometimes.

Now I have done gotten it back to the setup your device screen and am thinking until this is fixed I should just wait.

No root because it keeps erroring out

---------- Post added at 10:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 PM ----------

Nexus 7 since 2012 and every single time I wanted to hook that device up with root. NRT was the shiznit. But this damn Nexus 6 and Android 6.0 Marshmallow is so damn frustrating.

The biggest reason I got the Nexus 6 was always up to date OS from Google and NRT. Now...meh....

Still love the device and maybe I should go back to a previous build (5.1 if possible) then take back to stock - OTA and then try to root? Who knows but I have only got about 4 hours sleep in the last 36 because I can not be without the device and time zones are different here in Japan from everywhere.

Guess waiting is all I can do....

When finished with flashing stock 58R and root, flash a kernel (eg. Franco.img) with NRT advanced tools and it will boot and be rooted.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] yankeesfan714:
Flash kernel while in twrp?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Stryder52:
First of all this is a great kit and has never done me wrong...So I'm not criticizing in any way. Just trying to provide more data points for those who are in the know.

Flashing from MRA58K to MRA58R using NRT 2.06 is fine. Rooting always results in a "Your Device is corrupt" message for me.

I have follow the instructions on Wug's G+ page many times (been using NRT since LL 5.x)

I have also noticed the absence of the Enable 'Post-flash Factory Reset' option in NRT 2.06

SU 2.52 was pushed to the phone

I've seen there are a couple of kernels that get passt the "Your devise is corrupt" message. But...Just curious tho...

Did anyone out there side-load MRA58N or R AND root with NRT 2.05? If yes, what were the results?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TonikJDK:
Thank you. Worked perfectly, and since Franco's is what I use I ended up exactly where I need to be.

Here is what I did.

Flashed stock and unroot with no wipe. Rebooted let it do it's thing and made sure all was well.

Downloaded Franco's for example...... http://kernels.franco-lnx.net/Nexus6/6.0/ Then in NRT I Launched the Advanced Utilities and flash it.

Restart, verified all was still well.

Then get back into NRT and flash recovery and root.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] yankeesfan714:
So you flashed custom kernel before root?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TonikJDK:
Correct, although I would expect it would work flashing after root. My problem was I was soft bricked, I got the corrupt message and could not boot, it would just shut down. So a quick flash back to stock was the fastest easiest way for me to proceed and be sure I was as clean as possible.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] yankeesfan714:
Thanks, I knew I was following the directions on his G+ post correctly but kept getting hung up at the corrupt boot verification page.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
If that happens, just press the power button and the volume button plus and minus all at the same time until you see the boot screen.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] datagubben:
Or hold down power and volume down for a while and you can use NRT even when soft bricked.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] yankeesfan714:
I did this. I will try custom kernel after work.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] smclaughlin3:
Is there a no force encrypt boot kernel included for the MRA58R yet? Thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Stryder52:

bricked phone cant reflash

I soft bricked my phone i think. I went to decrypt the phone so i went to the no encrypt kernel in the wug fresh program and during the install the phone was booting up then it says phone is corrupt with the g.co/ABH thing. i can get into bootloader and into recovery but in recovery the usb is not recognized but it is in bootloader. So i use the app for softbrick and it goes to do its thing. then it says start flashstock.bat and nothing happens. Also the box to click force flash mode is not selectable it is grayed out. im on the latest version of wugfresh. any help is appreciated.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] lngwca:
Hope this helps.

This exact thing was happening to me. The "flash stock and u root" would go through the motions and close without finishing.

What I did was extract the stock file and using the advanced tools I flashed the boot file and then the system file. And it went through.

Booted normal. May have been a factory reset in there from recovery
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TonikJDK:
Did you also root it? If yes you need to replace the kernel with amother that is ready for root. For example Franco's.

Try power button and volume down to get to a point were NRT will see it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Didgeridoohan:
Why would you do that? If you're already on the latest build, why downgrade just to go to the same?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] kimdoocheol:
Quick question. I flashed stock/relocked bootloader. Chose the option to wipe all data. Never put in the sim card. Rebooted phone.

My question is, should I be concerned about any lingering data? I am about to sell my phone tomorrow. However, my concern comes from all my personal information, banking, investments, etc. have been on this phone. I would hide some in .TXT files in my phone. I checked to see if they are gone, and it looks like there are. Just wondering if I should take any additional steps before selling this to an unknown person.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
There is a difference between format a data partition and wiping data. Formatting allocates memory to be free. Wiping the memory should overwrite the data with a pattern.

If you don't trust the 'wiping process' or the software you use, than don't sell the phone.

BTW Important is that you have removed your Google account and other accounts first.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] kstano83:
I tried making back up first but I always ended up with a 0MB size file. No idea what was wrong but I unlocked the bootloader anyway and rooted + flashed recovery. I am rooted and I have super SU installed but busybox never got pushed to my device (I have tried 2 times). Can I just download it from the play store and complete it or can I leave my device without busybox (I really have no idea what that app does :) )?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Busybox is in the play store.

BB adds some unix-based commands that are not on the phone. Especially to do things at root level.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] kimdoocheol:
So I am judging by the ladder half of your comment that all the data should be cleared. That is all I wanted to know. I just wanted to know cause I had separate files that I hid if that would make a difference. So all the data was wiped then, correct?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Yes I think all data is wiped, unless 'You' did something wrong.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] kimdoocheol:
I think it is fine. It didn't show any files in the file browser, phone is ~ just a few hundo MB. I was just concerned because I'm not used to having a toolkit do it for me.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Stryder52:
I had something similar happen here. I Flashed Stock + Unrooted. Then I flashed Franco's kernel using NRT. After that I rooted. All the files got pushed to my phone just fine. It booted into recovery as expected and I flashed in the order the toolkit instructed me to. SU got installed but BusyBox did not. I tried to flash BusyBox from recovery a second time and still no luck.

Bottom line, I installed from PlayStore and all is fine.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] v12xke:
The /system partition is too full. You need to remove some Google bloatware from your /system. Try removing things like foreign keyboard iputs, books, docs, slides, sheets, etc. You will now be able to install bb and keep your hosts file in /system if you run Adaway.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
Does anybody encountered issues in the latest version? I'm trying to restore factory image on my Nexus 6 but after flashing 2 images (bootloader and radio, as I remember) command prompt closes by itsefl (!?). Here's the log from NRT:

[Nexus 6 Android Development] NOSTALGIA:
have you tried flashing the whole stock image instead??
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
Do you mean by fastboot commands in command prompt? No. I'll try now. Anyway, something it's weird with the cable or the USB port on the phone. Suddenly it's keep disconnecting. Bad news: I can't order a genuine Motorola cable from my country :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NOSTALGIA:
try wugs toolkit first in flashing the full stock firmware.. then let us know...

anyway you can use any cable.. make sure its reliable..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
Already tried two times. Command prompt closes by itself after flashing bootloader and radio (as I remember). The phone it's in bootloader now and "Transfer Mode: USB Connected" message is there. Everything should be fine, right? All the drivers are correctly installed - tested with NRT.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NOSTALGIA:
have you tried restoring stock before with nrt?

can u try using a different cable? it should be fine..

or maybe a driver issue.. what does your phone say while on bootloader?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
Just now I tried through flashall.bat file. It flashed the two first images then an error occurred saying "out of memory" (!?).

Then tried again but ended with the message <waiting for device>. Unplugged the cable and plugged back. Restarted bootloader with hardware keys. Nothing. Don't understand what's happened... I'll reinstall Windows today afternoon and I'll try again.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
No need to reinstall Windows.

Flashall.bat does not work here too and in many other cases.

You need to extract the images and flash them manually with fastboot.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
I'm afraid to do in this way as I'm not using the OEM cable. I could brick my phone, right?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/help/noob-friendly-qa-help-thread-t3068327

In this thread on page 1 you will find information needed to flash/root.

Because you probably already flashed the TWRP recovery, m-bootloader and m-radio, you als could consider to flash an already rooted rom. Like this http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/development/rom-5-1lightromstock-lmy47e-03-19-2015-t3059493

Same thing is happening to me. I've used the program multiple times. I've gone through and removed the USB drivers, readded the ones needed, and then tried. After the first two things, it just stops.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Stryder52:
I had the same think happen to me. I was able to flash manually though. Here's what I did after I had the phone into bootloader mode.

Copy ADB.EXE, ADBWINAPI.DLL and ADBUSBAPI.DLL from C:\Program Files (x86)\WugFresh Development\Nexus Root Toolkit\data\ to C:\Program Files (x86)\WugFresh Development\Nexus Root Toolkit\data\Factory_Images\shamu-mra58r-factory-1b87b77e

With the phone in bootloader, I launched NRT.

Launch Advanced Utiities in NRT

Launch CMD Prompt

Switched to C:\Program Files (x86)\WugFresh Development\Nexus Root Toolkit\data\Factory_Images\shamu-mra58r-factory-1b87b77e in the command prompt

Issued adb reboot bootloader

From there I was able to execute the flash-all.bat script.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] crjjr:
Thanks. I was able to extract the tgz file with winrar, bring up cmd prompt through wugfresh, and run flash all.bat. It's working now. Thanks for the idea.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] sunandoghosh:
Oh Lord Thanks to everyone just i wish if it was possible to update N6 to M and then root and take nandroid backup as always.....God This mess is beyond my understanding...its very sad...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ILuvRice:
Okay I need help. I've used this toolkit before and have had no issues but with the current version, I get the "your device is corrupt..."message. I Flashed back to stock using the toolkit and it works but I keep getting the message. How do I fix that? I read through the last few pages after the update and don't see anything about flashing stock fixing it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Nergal di Cuthah:
Are you rooting marshmallow? You need a modified kernel currently iirc.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ILuvRice:
Okay, thanks for that but my concern is that even flashing back to stock it shows. How do I flash to stock and get rid of it? I flashed a custom rom and no longer get the message cause its running a custom kernel. If I flash back to stock using tool kit now, will the message still be gone?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Nergal di Cuthah:
that I can't answer, I'm waiting on M until xPosed, and the modules I rely on, are functional
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TonikJDK:
Flash a kernal. Like Franco's. You can download it directly and use NRT advanced utilities to do it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ILuvRice:
Thanks for replying, I flashed chroma and the message is gone, I was just wondering if I flash back to stock will it go away?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TonikJDK:
If you fully flash to stock and dont root it will go away.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
No need to wait! With some of the great custom ROMs on MM like Cataclysm, and with layers and Nova you have most of the custizations you had with Xposed in a secure environment.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Nergal di Cuthah:
But not a non-killable app lock (protected apps), a notification cleaner (notifyclean), secure settings, minminguard nor YouTube AdAway.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] lioryte:
No
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
Sure, but a secure system with most needed tweaks, including Systemless Root.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] pikacane:
I have to say, I'm kind of impressed. I've been playing with Android devices for almost five years now (I just don't post much), and I've had some hairy moments in the past, but this one was up there. It took me four hours to figure out, but hopefully I've now gotten it straight - it appears that the "flash stock and unroot" option wiped my entire phone clean except for the bootloader, and I had one heck of a time managing to get a recovery back on it because it kept trying to reboot after the install. Finally got TWRP on it and loaded, and was able to sideload a ROM and flash it.

Every two or three years I forget and try using a toolkit for something I can do manually, and every single time I've been up until 5 am cleaning up the mess lol. I mean no offense and I'm sure that this has been a great help for a great many people, automated toolkits just don't seem to agree with me!

I have been flashing my old Galaxy Nexus for a while now. I finally upgraded to a Nexus 6, and ran into the same problem with the "Device is corrupt" message. If it's a new device, and I haven't enabled root and been able to get into the Android, how to I flash a kernel? Would I do that in TWRP? I used Franco previously on my Galaxy Nexus, but always through the UI.

Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fuzz_33594:
See Wug's instructions #2270, page 227 for background. I haven't used version 2.06, but if you have been rooting and flashing for awhile you can probably address your issue.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] otaku91:
Thanks, I should have read back a bit before posting. I was able to flash the Franco kernel using the toolkit. It's booted and running fine now. My next adventure will be custom ROMs. Is there any gotchas with that I should keep an eye out for? I am used to using CWM, not TWRP, but I assume it's basically the same. Reboot into recovery, wipe data, install zip, right?

Thanks again.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fuzz_33594:
I use TWRP and have had no problems flashing ROMs. Just ensure CWM you run has been updated to Marshmallow for Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] madboymatt:
Not sure if the issue I'm having is with my device, or with NRT 2.0.6.

Nexus 6, MRA58K, unlocked, twrp, rooted. - Achieved all of this with NRT last month. Zero issues.

The latest nexus 6 ota is available as MRA58R, so naturally I'd like to update.

This is what I did:

-Flash stock + unroot (device is normal)

-MRA58R is selected to download -Force flash is greyed out, but the box is checked. -No wipe mode is checked -No force encrypt is NOT checked as I never removed the encryption from my device when I originally unlocked the bootloader. -clicked Ok

NRT downloaded the latest Image, installed it. No issues. Got back into OS, a few settings had changed (dpi, kernel settings, etc) because I was no longer rooted.

No problem, back to NRT, click "Root", phone does it's thing...finally get to the pop up that tells me what files to flash in TWRP, in the !readytoflash folder. I picked all three files (including SU 2.52 beta..), swiped to confirm, they install. Reboot system.

Here's the problem, the phone boots up, then gets an error saying that my device is corrupt, then shuts off. I googled it, and people have had success with flashing a different kernel, so I tried flashing Hells Core. It gets me past the corrupt warning, but then bootloops (waited 20 mins).

I got back into recovery, flashed my nandroid, and I'm back to where I was an hour ago. No real big deal.

So. Any ideas? I feel like I did something wrong.

Sorry for Wall of text.

Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jamiejames:
If you flash HellsCore you have to flash modified boot.img. You can find it on their website.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] otaku91:
Everything seems to be working well for me except one minor thing. I choose PTP for the USB connection, my phone shows up as a camera in Windows. If I choose MTP, it doesn't. Also, I have to chose PTP (Camera) for the toolkit to detect it. Any ideas?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] madboymatt:
Ok, that's interesting. But I think the issue is that rooting the latest image resulted in the "your device is corrupt..."

From what I'm reading, anytime we want to root a 6.0 build, we must do a factory reset.

Can anyone confirm that?

I chose to not wipe data when I updated because the only difference is the November security update.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jcrss13:
Is anyone else seeing the No-Force encrypt option greyed out on 2.0.6? I thought it may just be because there isn't a modified image for MRA58R yet, but it doesn't matter what build I select it stays the same.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Norwester:
I've always stayed away from kits also but I used the kit to unlock and root when I got my Nexus last winter and it went pretty well. This weekend I decided to un-root and flash stock. Big mistake! Went into a boot loop between the Google logo and a TWRP page saying that absolutely nothing would mount. I could bring up the boot loader but the only function that worked was Power Off. After hrs of repetition I was finally able to bring up TWRP home page and from there repair the system, data etc. I'll take the long route from now on, no more short cuts.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jamiejames:
I've done that same procedure countless times. Not once have I had a problem. Maybe you got a bad download or something.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jayharper08:
I had this issue as well. I uninstalled the drivers and manually reinstalled them (meaning without the toolkit) and all was well.

New Nexus6 user here. As of yesterday I retired the Note2 after many years and got a unlocked 6 from Amazon. A Verizon Wireless Retailer, Cellular Sales associate hooked me up with a free SIM and got me connected. (I found the right guy) I did the research here for rooting and liked this one. My only issue was it did not like using a USB 3.0 port, 2.0 worked. (nice bubblenote to check that) Rooted within 30 minutes of returning home. Now to research the mods available. Thanx for writings this.
