I flashed the bootloader and am fine with pre 5.1 rom. I did it now because why not.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] the_rooter:
Kernel doesnt even need to be touch if hes just updating the radio/bootloader.

Scratch that: sorry didnt see that it wiped everything.

Also this is a one time update correct? this is my first nexus. never messed with radios/bootloader updates. I dont have to update this everytime i flash a rom?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gamewarden234:
Only time you update radio and bootloader is when a new version of lollipop or whatever is next is released from google
[Nexus 6 Android Development] idtheftvictim:
You were probably unencrypted and now since you flashed the boot image, it forced encryption which wiped your phone. Or you were encrypted, and you somehow made it unencrypted, and it wiped your phone.

Sorry dude...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gamewarden234:
Last I heard it was being rolled out slowly across the country and is still market specific
[Nexus 6 Android Development] the_rooter:
I understand that but i dont have to flash this everytime with a new custom rom correct?

I just flashed this twice just to make sure there is no errors(alittle over the top), but thats how i like to do it.

---------- Post added at 11:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 AM ----------

isnt volte not market specific? its being able to use date/voice together? Thats what I cant get to work is the data/voice to work together
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gamewarden234:
Been there done that. Only happens once. Pretty self correcting. It does suck though.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dragonstalker:
DO NOT INSTALL THE 5.1 BOOTLOADER IF YOU DO NOT PLAN ON FLASHING A 5.1 ROM.

Update. Bootloader seems to be compatible with 5.0 roms.

as far as Volte. looking into it. I'm having to update my box for the lvl 22 api's and will hopefully have a 5.1 kernel out in a few days.

In the meantime, Scott and Obiki seem to be up to date on what's needed to easily convert.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gamewarden234:
No. Once is all. Flash all the custom roms you want without worry. Already deleted the ZIP off my phone. I thought volte was nation wide but I read some where they are rolling it out to specific market to trouble shoot bugs before a full release.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] joeyddr:
running chroma with bootloader and radio, everything is fine.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mrgwap:
I'm on 5.1 I flashed the un.encrypted zip and I'm still encrypted I factory reset after .any suggestions?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] the_rooter:
just to double check. I am on chroma which is 5.0.2 and it works fine, and I plan on flashing 5.1 when released. This is ok correct?

---------- Post added at 11:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 AM ----------

I think we are talking about two different things.

I believe ur talking about xtle and hd calling. i am talking about the usage of voice and data at the same time.

Example: I call my fiancee and i am able to be on facebook also
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dragonstalker:
So your saying your 5.01 chroma is running on the 5.1 bootloader?

if so ,kewl. that was a question been trying to figure out since last night. Will it work with 5.0 roms.

---------- Post added at 11:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 AM ----------

Volte VOICE OVER LTE. Vs HI DEF voice calling using wifi.

Your thinking of something else.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] the_rooter:
I am on 5.0.2 and it works
[Nexus 6 Android Development] joeyddr:
Chroma is 5.02 and all i flashed is the bootloader/radio zip and all is fine.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gamewarden234:
I flashed euphoria and Simple aosp on the new bootloader and all is fine. Both are not 5.1
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dragonstalker:
Awesome. the bootloader seems to be compatible with 5.0 roms. Great news. Alot of trial and error in the first day of a new release lol.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] the_rooter:
I dont think there would be an issue with update the bootloader/radio since this can be done with samsung. Yes I know this is nexus just a thought. Now flashing a boot.image could be a different story.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dragonstalker:
Yeah, i've already had a problem with the kernel. I just have not updated bootloader as I wasn't sure if i could go back. I just got my phone to stop drinking my battery like a wino locked in a liquor store.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] the_rooter:
I am using franco kernel customized by [MENTION=1978554]zephiK[/MENTION] and not a issue.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] michmeister:
Flash a custom kernel you can bypass the security
[Nexus 6 Android Development] the_rooter:
For Volte. I think we need to have the actual 5.1 rom installed to get this to work because there is added features like in the menu that needs to be added. Volte can wait for me :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ohhdavid:
At this point it doesn't matter.. because I powered down during the encryption it locked my partitions and there was no way to boot again unless I did a full wipe including data. It's probably not a huge loss considering most stuff is backed up into the cloud these days but SMS are for sure gone (why is it a thing in 2015 that these do not auto-backup and restore??) and there's just that fear that something is gone that I don't realize. Meh.. it was acting a little sluggish anyways.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Scott:
I updated the OP to indicate the boot.img is only for 5.1 based ROMS.

I assumed everyone would have known that but my bad :p
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dragonstalker:
Lol. not your fault Scott. You know I always try different combos to see what works. Tried a couple custom rom/kernels to see if anybody played nice with 5.1. No joy.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hungmung:
It needs network side functionality as well it isn't just gonna start working right away if volte isn't available in your area.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] the_rooter:
Voice with data is not anything to do with availability with the area. That feature is called HD calling which is only available certain areas. there is a difference between the two.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ryan4a:
Bit of noob...sorry. But what about the system.img? Is that not needed to fully update to 5.1? Can I flash the radio, bootloader, and boot.img using TWRP without wiping my data? When I download the files on my device, do I need to move them anywhere in particular for TWRP to find them?

Thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dragonstalker:
This thread is solely for the bootloader, radio and kernel.

Custom roms will be coming later. Or you can flash one of the already available custom roms.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ryan4a:
Thanks. I'm not running a custom rom. I used the nexus root toolkit to flash the 5.0.1 system.img, bootloader.img, radio.img and a modified 5.0.1 boot.img to disable forced encryption. I also have the franco kernel installed.I'd like to manually update to 5.1 without having to wipe my data and keep root. Also, I cannot connect to a PC anymore to use the NRT again. So I'd like to do this using my N6 only. I would use flashify, but need a complete 5.1 .zip package.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Scott:
Someone posted a ROM based off 5.1. Its around here somewhere.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Toneman07:
Android File Host is down :(
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ryan4a:
Cool, thanks. But I'd rather not install a custom ROM as it seems unnecessary on a Nexus device (just my opinion). Plus, wouldn't that wipe my data? I just want to manually update to 5.1 without wiping my data, keeping root, disable forced encryption, and without using a PC. Is this possible?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Toneman07:
Currently no.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Scott:
Would prove difficult without PC.

The ROM I am referring to is just the stock dump. But thats your call. I will be doing my Stock Rooted soon.

Its up for (at least right now)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mervingio:
anyone have tested the modem with the faux,lean,franco,code blue.....
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dragonstalker:
Scott,

Here is the rom I started working on.

De-Odexed.

Rooted.

Busybox (stericson)

rom and kernel init.d enabled

boot.img (by scrosler)

debloated (debloat apk's include in seperate folder)

my updater script is from archi kitchen so it will not flash, but you can rip it open, make your changes and have at it. It's all stock other then what i listed above. I'm gonna start working on the 5.1 custom kernel so there's an option other then Franco's. SO probably not gonna get back to the build anytime soon (being lazy)

How about with a PC? I want to do the exact same thing, but I have a PC. And the only methods I'm thinking of would make me lose my data.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Scott:
You prolly want to ask in Q&A forums. This thread is really for the bootloader and radio and such.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Lw00d:
im about to flash 5.1. ,, i have never un-encrypt N6,.. will this boot.img un-encrypt N6??
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Scott:
It will alow so if you format user data before you boot...

So it goes like this...

Format user data in bootloader mode

Reboot recovery and mount MTP copy ROM, boot.img, and bootloader-radio.

Flash ROM, Boot.img, and bootloader-radio.

ROM boots and you are unecrypted.

There's a workaround in the radio thread. Forward to google voice and have google voice ring hangouts. Works fine and better than giving up the 10000000000x better LTE if you are on T-Mobile.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jackpollard:
No need to flash gapps if your just flashing the radio and bootloader. Flash and reboot.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] x0nar:
Hi. I have a couple of questions on which I would like to be answered to.

1. I have MultiROM recovery installed. So how should I proceed with flashing Radio and Bootloader? Should I install it in a primary ROM ie under main settings or under Secondary ROM section too under (Advanced >MultiROM>Secondary ROM>Flash a Zip.) under TWRP.

2. If it is to be flashed under primary ROM, should I tick the option to inject Current.boot sector. If in Secondary, should I tick the option for inject Boot.img.

3. Also will the radio and bootloader will work on 5.0.2 Roms ?

4. If I need to Flash 5.1 ROM, then should I flash it under Primary or Secondary ROM ?

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Yeah, thats odd. The new 5.1 ROM already has VZW crapware in it. I guess they are going to cram more.

I had zero issues using the zip you gave me.

Not too mention my phone runs better than it ever has.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] TMYINC:
Flashed everything fine for me. Flashed the radio/boot loader zip through twrp. Wiped then flashed the new sinless ROM and all is well. Sinless included the insecure decrypted boot.IMG so was no need to flash the on in this op.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Scott:
They (whoever said that) was wrong. Flash the zips I posted and you will be set for 5.1 based ROMS :good:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] micmars:
I saw that, and it seems a bit contradictory.

If one has upgraded to completely stock 5.1, either through OTA or fastboot or the Toolkit equivalent, one perforce is on both the 5.1 bootloader and modem, rendering the zip in question unnecessary.

Indeed, the OP seems to have noted on more than one occasion that with the modem and bootloader, one only need a 5.1 rom build, and they'd have everything necessary without having to take the stock 5.1 build (thus no need to backup internal memory, decrypt, etc).

[Nexus 6 Android Development] micmars:
You could flash the modem and bootloader combo in the OP, then roll back the modem to 5.01, using the modem posted in the general section, from either fastboot or one of the toolkits. That gets you there, and fairly swiftly.

Nope, modem, bootloader and kernel. Yet the kernel should only be flashed on a 5.1 base...otherwise, your device likely will not boot.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] myepicyear:
I know, it's great right? Since last November, on T-mobile, when setting radio to LTE-preferred, I would lose signal repeatedly throughout the day bouncing back and forth between 3G and LTE, causing massive battery drain. It even forced me to set the radio preference to 3G while at home and LTE while away from home. Very annoying.

The new radio has not dropped signal once while network mode is set to LTE. I was worried that the handling of mobile networks would never be improved on this device.

Instead if sha-32B885 it says sha-32B884

Anyone else show that too?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] antiochasylum:
You have to wipe user data after you flash the boot.IMG.

You can't just flash and, wala. You have to flash, entirely wipe your internal SD card, then you'll be unencrypted.

So back up your internal card. Flash rom, flash boot.IMG wipe internal card, reboot.
