L is for Lollipop builds. M is for Marshmallow. :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Albert52:
NLBeev, those are the factory images, not the OTA links for a side-load
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Yes, I know but it is only to let you know that LMYxx is not Android 6.0 (Marshmallow).
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TonikJDK:
Did you install busybox via the tool kit? I did it that way and all is well.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] srothkin:
I tried the Titanium paid version but found it way too complicated/confusing (especially compared to MyBackup Pro which requires just a few taps to backup/restore everything). Unfortunately, I found there are some apps that don't get properly restored by MyBackup Pro and must be manually uninstalled/reinstalled to get them working properly (particularly ones that have special device permissions like Lookout) which was why I recently tried Titanium again. Titanium really needs a 1 button backup/restore that covers all apps/settings except for the ones that are likely to have a problem going across OS versions.

And even with all apps/app settings being properly restored, there's still a lot of device setup that must be manually repeated - bluetooth device pairing, lock screen settings, widgets, to name just a few.

So, really need a reliable upgrade from 5.1.1 to 6 without requiring a factory reset.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
I did the update without wipe from 5.1.1 to 6.0, and rooted, no issues.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Milamber:
Those who have installed marshmallow, is your device encrypted?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Encrypted, JDX rom 4.0.1
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Milamber:
So weird, mine isn't and was before I did the update.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Just checked settings security to sure. Encrypted. When there is change en-un than a format is needed of the data partition. You should have done that.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tuffluck:
I just want to ask the super dumb question: I'm on stock 5.1.1, no root, AT&T. Can I just download and follow the instructions Wug provided on his download page that say "Notice: Rooting Marshmallow is now possible with NRT v2.0.5 via these instructions" (ie clicking on the "these instructions" part) and be able to do everything required to root/busybox and such? I'm assuming that unlocks bootloader, installs marshmallow, and roots? Do i need to download marshmallow separately? Where? anything else i need to do? Thanks...again sorry for dumb question(s)

edit, downloaded the NRT just to check it out and don't see my build number listed: LMY48W
[Nexus 6 Android Development] garyHal:
Yes, NRT should be able to do all, unlock, install, root, etc.

It asks you for permission to go out and download the files automatically.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tuffluck:
thanks. i was able to unlock the bootloader but could not turn off encryption or do anything else without selecting a build number. but as i mentioned, my build number is not listed. i guess this toolkit isn't updated for my build number? LMY48W

as with every device i've ever owned, i always seem to want to root/update the date after i install an unsupported OTA.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bdorr1105:
If you or anybody else feel that you should not wipe coming from completely different Android releases because its too much work or you rather be lazy about, then you probably should not be rooting phones because then you will be in forums with issues probably caused by laziness...

I am not meaning to sound like a butt heads, but that is just the reality.. Stop being lazy.

FYI titanium back up bro is really easy and has one click backup.. Took less than 3 minutes to figure it out. Have to be willing to do work, research to make things easier, you are making it more difficult for yourself.

Have at it...don't wipe, why even bother
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
Newsflash, I upgraded to 6.0 from 5.1.1 and rooted, no wipe needed.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
Anyway to sideload M6.0 OTA file yet with the toolbox ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bdorr1105:
So, you can jump off the empire state building... But will you?

Just because you did doesn't mean you should have.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
Why, because you think I shouldn't, LOL.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bdorr1105:
No, because it is lazy, dirty, not intelligent, not recommended and not 1 developer recommends upgrading without wiping unless they are on the same Android base, same custom ROM, just an update. Even then they prefer wiping. Going from 5.1.1 to 6.0 form one base to another without a wipe is just extra Dumb..

The thing is, you come on here asking for help, then respond like you know it all when you asked the question. That is ignorant, and stupid....At any rate

Do what you have to do, i am done responding
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tuffluck:
hey guys, i'm assuming i can go back to another version that is supported by this toolkit? where would i find the last version i may have had that was supported? then again i'm not sure if i can use the toolkit at all if the build i have is not supported? any advice?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bdorr1105:
You can look Here
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
can i bump this post up for a reply anyone know ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tuffluck:
thank you. that says my build is vzw which i assume is verizon? however i am on ATT? also, i don't see any in that list that are actually in the toolkit build list.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bdorr1105:
All the ones there are in the toolkit, they all will work with ATT, are you going to 6.0?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Milamber:
Yep I did, in twrp I formatted everything under advanced.

Encrypted now through phone settings under security. I hope that's the same thing as stock encryption.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tuffluck:
Correct. I am on W and I do not see it in the toolkit? And when I do automatic detection it pics the default one at the bottom. And I have updated the toolkit.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] x.Orville.x:
How i can flash android m with this tool i try with android m factory image to put stock but they get to 5.1.1
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bdorr1105:
It's all there bro, you just have to look. I am posting pictures so you can see it

The Up to You check boxes are optional, most ROMs already don't force encryption

Anyway, it is all right there
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tuffluck:
damn i'm dumb (but i did warn you about this ahead of time). i am doing it right now! what i was asking about is in your first picture, on the left side of the dialog box where it says "your model type" my build number wasn't showing up in the drop down list. i thought i had to select that in order to flash M. now it's flashing and (hopefully) working. i'll post later. thanks a lot, you da man!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bdorr1105:
Yea, you just have to enable USB debugging... TWRP has busybox...all you have to do is follow that process and then start the process, the Toolkit will tell you what is happening. I have had zero issues... You just need to make sure your computer recognises your phone in recovery... That's via adb drivers...you need that to be working. It will say it can not find your device if you don't have that working.... The rest is easy.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tuffluck:
worked like a charm. question: did this automatically decrypt my device or do i have to do that in addition?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bdorr1105:
If you checked the box to not force encrypt it should be decrypted, assuming you have done it before. Look in settings security when you are booted, if it say encrypt ROM, meaning it is giving you the option... Then it is decrypted....

If it doesn't say encrypt phone, then it is encrypted, but it is no big deal if you stay stock...

If you ever decide you want to, you need to back everything up to a computer because it will erase the internal memory completely
[Nexus 6 Android Development] x.Orville.x:
why mine keep like this ?? and the device keep on fastboot no restart it
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bdorr1105:
it is supposed to look like that, its just showing the status
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tuffluck:
i seem to be figuring out everything on my own lol, so i'm going to wait and not ask anymore dumb questions until i'm officially stumped. ignore me for now :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tuffluck:
so i was trying to install viper4android and read that you need busybox on rails app and not the one that is in the NRT. is there any benefit/downside to not installing the busybox by stericson (in the toolkit) and instead just installing supersu by chainfire and then separately installing busybox on rails? i'm just wondering...did a search and nobody has brought this up yet.

i tried to uninstall busybox by stericson and install busybox on rails but said "system status not found" then "could not write to system/xbin even though i didn't think we had write protection on the nexus 6...?

when i install busybox by stericon it always gives me an error saying it installed but not the version i wanted, try changing destination folder, which does nothing. so i'm not sure what issues i am having.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bdorr1105:
I installed busy box on rails, everything works fine, some apps require busy box, I like the on rails app better
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tuffluck:
thanks. i still cannot get viper4android to work, not a big deal and i can just wait on a version that definitely is supported. i tried all the recommended ways, flashing the file (failed), and just straight up installing the apk and that didn't work either. if anyone has any ideas please let me know.

i installed on rails too and it worked fine going into recovery first.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Stoffiss:
Can I use this toolkit to root my Nexus 6 on Marshmallow 6.0? Has it been fixed or is it still buggy and causing bootloops? :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
I upgraded just fine from 5.1.1 to 6.0 with root and no wipe, just follow the instructions on Wug's G+page, step by step.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TheChiZ:
Whenever i try to update to 6.0 it just hangs at the Google splash screen, any help?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TonikJDK:
Reboot into TWRP and wipe data and cache.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
From TWRP recovery wipe cache and do a factory reset.

When no result. Follow the instructions in the OP of the thread about the JDX rom.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tuffluck:
Wait. You don't need TWRP. This toolkit uses TWRP if and when it needs to. Seriously just follow these instructions. A couple of clicks pretty much does everything for you.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] wtherrell:
Can't get the links for the bootloader / radio for MM in the JDX OP to work. Where else could I find?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] srothkin:
I find the tone of your response offensive.

First of all, I spent way more than 3 minutes with Titanium and found it far from intuitive. It was never clear what should be excluded/included in a full backup to include installed apps/settings, google apps/settings (e.g. my gmail and calendar settings), and OS settings. But since you did it in 3 minutes, why don't you put together a step-by-step guide indicating EXACTLY how to use it.

Secondly, going from one version of stock android to a more recent version of the same stock android should never require a wipe. That should only be required for changing ROMs.

Thirdly, I wouldn't bother with rooting if it wasn't required for doing a bunch of things that I do from ad blocking to tasker automation.

Finally, the whole point (in my mind) of using NRT is to simplify the process, avoid problems, and avoid having to spend hours researching the forums (which often have conflicting answers).
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bdorr1105:
I do not care if you like the tone of the message or not, there was nothing offensive about it. Just because you do not want to hear it does not make it offensive. Toughen up a little bit

Secondly, I made it clear unless you are staying on the same ROM then you need to wipe, however, I also said going from a different android base ie. 5.1.1 to 6.0 then you should also wipe. All this was clear, You just repeated what I already said

The whole point of the toolkit is to simplify the process, never is it intended to make you do less research, you should always seek information. Putting in minimal effort which seems the way you want to go about is why you are still asking questions. This forum is not intended to do everything for you with the entitlement complex, You also need to put in your efforts, such as research in the forums and of you are for whatever reason unable to figure it out, then we have great people willing to help out.

The reason why you root is irrelevant and I don't think anyone cares, going back to the main point, for you to get the best experience, sometimes its going to be a pain in the butt, you are going to have to wipe when you do not want to, have to do things you don't want to, but it comes with the territory. Problems are created from laziness, and when you seek to always take short cuts and do the minimum, things go wrong and create more work....

So finally, nothing to get offended by, but I will apologize if you felt I offended you. I don't tell people what they want to hear, and I did not say anything that was not true nor was it geared specifically to you, it was just in general. If you don't like what I am still saying, hit me up in a private message....I am letting you know I don't have any problems with you, if you still do with me, lets solve it in pm
[Nexus 6 Android Development] srothkin:
Not wanting to have to wipe and then manually setup the phone again isn't laziness. Quite frankly, I don't think its a productive use of my time to have to blow an entire day manually restoring from backup and then going through every all my app and system settings to redo whatever didn't get restored properly. Updating to a newer version of the same OS should never require that.

So again, I want to know how to go from 5.1.1 to 6.0 stock without a factory reset. I don't think that's unreasonable or lazy.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jamiejames:
Ota update.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bdorr1105:
6.0 is not the same OS as 5.1.1. Just because you are running chroma for example on 5.1.1 and then want to go to chroma 6.0, it is not the same OS. Its just the same developer.

The bootloader, the radio, kernel, boot.img and recovery are all different. File system is different as well.

It does not take all day, it takes me an hour from a full wipe, wiping internal storage to completely restore my set up.

It is lazy because you are spending more time trying to figure out how to take a short cut than to just do it.

Titanium backup has a 1 button back up as well as a 1 button restore. All apps in a few minutes are restored.

Edit: FYI, not saying it can't be done by the way. I am just looking out for you.... Do what you have to do... Just giving you a recommended course of action
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jamiejames:
I can do mine in 30 minutes. Lol I was going to say the amount of time spent writing these post, could of done it twice. Just saying.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:

At the top of the list. 3 zips you need.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] srothkin:
I'd love to do that. Unfortunately that doesn't work once you're rooted.

---------- Post added at 07:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 AM ----------

A day is what it has taken me in the past. I'm guessing you have a lot less to fix/verify in app settings, device settings, and bluetooth connections (which I've always found I've had to manually recreate even after a restore), and a lot less to restore in terms of SD card content (which Titanium doesn't restore) which takes a while to transfer back.

I looked at the Titanium one button backup. It had exclusions from what was backed up so it wasn't truly 1 button. And their lists of what to add ended up being so huge on my phone that I couldn't be sure what to include and what not to include.

I didn't have to wipe my laptop and start from scratch to go from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. The image backup I took as a precaution ended up not being needed. Only the new features needed manually setup and there ended up being only 2 incompatible programs that needed to be replaced (both system programs - a start menu replacement and Norton Security) and it informed me about that up front.

I expect the same kind of experience going from 5.1.1 to 6.0 since it is the stock OS. I don't mind having to take a few extra steps to ensure a smooth experience (and that's what I come to this forum to find details on), but factory reset and restore is way beyond that.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wtherrell:
Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bdorr1105:
If it takes a day, then you do not know what you are doing. I restore 130 apps, including layers themes, 5 desktop screens with widgets, address book, contact pictures sync, bluetooth, and i mod system UI for 3minit battery for over 15 ROMs, still only takes under an hour from a complete full wipe.

Titanium is a 1 button back up, and it has a plethora of options on how you want to do it. It is no one else's fault if you do not what to take the time to learn to properly use the tools that are out there.

The fact that you tried to compare your windows experience to Android is beyond me. How many custom Windows is not even close to the same, can't use it in comparison.

Android is based off linux, entirely different OS. It be different if you did not root and took the OTA updated. However, you are dealing with custom ROMs, custom tweaks imbedded in the framework, the systemUI. You need to get educated. You are still trying to find a way to be lazy. You only have to do it ONE time. Just do it the right way

And as a side note, I would never just upgrade Windows, always a good idea to start fresh. You just do not get it

Oem locking

Hey just upgraded to marshmallow

Trying to lock the bootloader by clicking on OEM lock

Its not successful (open lock sign still present)

Tried it 2-3 times
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RayEdmondson:
Why are you relocking the bootloader? Just curious.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bigmatt503:
That's exactly what I did and it works GREAT!! Root, twrp, ElemantalX kernel and I'm getting outstanding battery life and great performance.

---------- Post added at 05:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------

Not wiping your device after upgrading to a newer version of Android is like taking a shower and putting on dirty socks and underwear. It might not be a requirement but it just works better. And yes, the learning curve on titanium backup is definitely not a simple as some would say for a first time user.

---------- Post added at 05:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 PM ----------

Have you considered the no wipe option on wugfresh nrt?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] DebianDog:
I did the no wipe option and it did work but I didn't have a settings in the pulldown notifications. Tried it again and then finally just wiped it and restored with Titanium.

I have run a lot of custom ROMs and had other system mods so it was probably for the best.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
Just wondering any word on when were going to see an updated version with full MM support ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
Already does.

Really I was trying to side load to mm 6 but wouldn't let me was getting this below error

Is 6.0 MRA58K on your list where you set up device?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wtherrell:
I saw it there today when I updated my copy of the ToolKit.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jamiejames:
It's definitely updated. Don't have a clue why the stock recovery image isn't on there.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] saddog5523:
Thanks for the clarification! Happy Thanksgiving to you as well. I hope all the food doesn't make you as lazy as your tool has made me. :laugh: Donation coming your way after Black Friday.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wtherrell:
OK about ready to unencrypt. It will wipe out data just like unlocking the boot loader, right?

So besides music. Etc. Exactly what files do I need to transfer to my PC to load back later?

My plan is to run tibu and move the resulting backup file to the PC. Then move back to phone after decrypt. Will this pick up ringtones etc. that I added to system/media/audio ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] WugFresh:
Anything thats yours that you want to keep (apps, pics, whatever). Your plan sounds good. You shouldn't have to worry about /system/media/audio, since that is the system partition, not the userdata partition.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 6 Android Development] saddog5523:
Well I followed the process laid out earlier. Successfully unlocked bootloader, and then flashed the no-force encrypt. Booted up, checked under Security, showed that it was not encrypted. Did the root and custom recovery, when the phone booted back up, it showed a progress bar and said "encrypting". After everything finished I checked under security and it shows my device to be encrypted again. Do I just need to format userdata to remove encryption, or what?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] DivinelyFlawed:
Same thing just happened to me. Unlocked, no encrypt, checked and verified it was not encrypted, then rooted. On reboot during root process got the encryption bar and now phone is encrypted...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] WugFresh:
Ok, decided to go back and modify my instructions then.

1. Unlock Bootloader

2. Root (and you can check 'Custom Recovery' under the root button to do that in one step).

3. No-Force Encrypt

Not sure why rooting would cause it to re-encrypt, but try it that way - and it should be cool.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 6 Android Development] saddog5523:
I did the no-force encrypt again after following the previous steps you posted. Still have root and TWRP. So something about the root or custom recovery process encrypts the phone again. Though if you follow the steps that I quoted you on, it should work just fine from stock.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] DivinelyFlawed:
That worked! Rooted and unencrypted, no problems now. Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TechBSwift:
2 things:

1.what does it say in settings if you phone is NOT encrypted. Right now my phone says "Encryption > encrypt phone>Encrypted

2. don't know if you saw it, but i donated to you two days ago. Thank you for everything I will donate more next week.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] WugFresh:
I just thought about it. I know why it happened. I need to change my modified boot.img's to also include the no-force encryption. Following my instructions above will work, but I will remake all the modified boot.imgs with this edit so that it won't matter in the future what order.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jdenman03:
thanks! i'm now unlocked, rooted, and encryption is disabled! Thanks for all the hard work!
