You can do that after boot:

fastboot erase cache

fastboot flash cache cache.img

11, 12, 13.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Forerunner326:
To clairfy, erasing the cache the flashing the new cache image does not delete data that I may not want to lose correct?

This is what I have after your help.

1. Enable USB debugging and OEM unlock
2. Reboot into bootloader (volume-down + power)
3. Connect to pc and load platform tools command window
4. fastboot flash bootloader {bootloader-shamu-xxx.img}
5. fastboot reboot-bootloader
6. fastboot flash radio {radio-shamu-xxx.img}
7. fastboot reboot-bootloader
8. fastboot flash system system.img
9. fastboot flash boot boot.img (stock or modified decrypted/custom kernel)
10. fastboot erase cache
11. fastboot flash cache cache.img
12. Boot into TWRP by selecting Recovery Mode on device and pressing power button
13. Flash supersu via TWRP (Install > Choose the zip package > swipe to confirm)
14. Reboot (Main menu > reboot)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Erasing and flashing cache will not erase user data (apps and data and settings)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Forerunner326:
Okay thank you. And I just want to make sure, this process will work for updates and do I need to know anything else before I start flashing?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Nope, thats it. Good luck mate and enjoy :)

Every time a new OTA update comes out, you will need to flash the images again if you are not stock. (I see from your post that you may plan on flashing a non-stock boot image. If you do so, you will not be able to apply the update over-the-air. You will need to plug into a PC and follow the same steps again. The only way that you can apply an OTA update over-the-air is by everything being stock (including radio, bootloader, system, recovery and boot image).
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Forerunner326:
That's what I was planning on doing hence why I wanted to make a step by step guide for me and my situation.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zer0_Cool:
Here's a guide I made for myself to keep track,

If you have just used fastboot oem unlock, you should let the device
boot up normally first before trying to install TWRP.
If you boot TWRP first before booting normally, you will be prompted for
a password. Hit cancel and got to Wipe -> Format Data.
Type yes at the prompt and hit the "enter" key. Hit the home button at
the bottom and Reboot -> Recovery.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Forerunner326:
In your guide, you flash userdata.img if I'm not mistaken, userdata.img wipes all user data from the device which is what I was trying to avoid.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zer0_Cool:
Sorry, I had only read the OP and skimmed, but you are correct, erasing/flashing userdata will wipe data. You can omit the wipes to keep data.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackpollard:
The steps you have are what I use also, the only single thing I would add is if your de-crypted. If you are and flash boot, it will encrypt you. If your encrypted already, you have no worry.

I also never flash the cache. When I go into recovery I will wipe both dalvic and cache. Again, this is just what I do, so your milage may vary. Good flashing!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DebianDog:
Yes over the last 5 years I have always done this. Whether upgrading a current version on a custom ROM or even if I'm just having issues with the current one. it never hurts to flush the caches. You just have to wait for it to rebuild on boot which seems EXTRA long on the Nexus 6 I assume it's because of the encryption.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Forerunner326:
1 More question, when should I flash userdata.img? Because I heard that the location of saved user data can change which requires userdata.img to be flashed. Or just don't worry about it?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
Occasionally, with a large update (like with ICS to Kitkat I think), there is a file structure layout change, and when that happens, it is usually a good idea to flash userdata.img (or factory reset after flashing).
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
I personally never flash the userdata or cache images. The are not needed.

These are the commands I execute to flash a new factory image:

fastboot flash bootloader {bootloader-shamu-xxx.img}
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio {radio-shamu-xxx.img}
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache
fastboot reboot

Obviously if you want to keep your data, then skip "fastboot format userdata". If you want to keep your custom recovery, then skip "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". Everything else stays the same. This procedure is the same for all Nexus devices and hasn't really changed.

If you flash the userdata image it may cause issues (e.g., the image is usually provided for the lower storage version, 32GB in the case of the N6, so if you flash it, it will set up your /data partition as a 32GB partition, and you will need to factory reset to revert it to 64GB. So, pointless flashing that image.)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Forerunner326:
How can I know when to flash userdata.img when there is a big update?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
Hate to say this - but I'll say it :)

Flash everything but userdata. If it works well, all is well. No need to flash userdata. Rejoice

If things don't work as expected, or if you are getting unexpected errors for no apparent reason, that don't go away in safe mode, factory reset (or flash userdata) after backing up your data.

One other thing I do is to not be the first to flash. I wait a couple of days at least to see what the more knowledgeable folks on these forums find. And follow their recommendations. That's what happened with the previous major update - a lot of folks complained about errors all over the place, and were recommending a factory reset.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] irishmatt12:
Hello,

Big problem again, my touch screen becomes unresponsive every other app I open. This is very annoying when opening the phone dialer. When this happens I have to open the keyboard and hit the start button then close it and it sometimes is able to power through this problem. Is this caused because of my processor speed? Will omap clock help? Or is the screen going out?

Thanks for your help.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] irishmatt12:
May have fixed issue

Sorry to be taking up space on this board, for the second time I believe that I have fixed my own problem (opperator error):D . I bought a snap on plastic housing to protect the phone from scratches. After driving myself nuts with this touch screen problem, I thought I wonder if it has something to do with the covering that I put on it. Upon removal of this the touch screen is back to its responsive self, unsure what the problem was with the snap on casing but I did resolve this issue.

Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rgruet:
Hi all,

Sorry if this is not the right forum, please correct me.

I'm the developer of 3G Watchdog, a popular data monitoring application. For some reason on Galaxy S5 LTE-A phones (SM-G906S, SM-G901F, and possibly others) with Lollipop, 3G Watchdog is unable to count data usage via the usual system traffic statistics files (typically /sys/class/net/interface/statistics/rx_bytes and tx_bytes), or even determine the correct mobile interface name (e.g. rmnet0). AFAIK it does not seem to happen on other variants of S5, so I guess Samsung has done something unusual on these phones.

I can think of a number of possible causes, but I don't have a Galaxy S5 LTE-A at my disposal to test with and find out what's going on exactly, so I do need the help of someone with (preferably) a rooted Galaxy S5 LTE-A, and a file manager (or any way to explore the file sytem, like adb) who would be willing to experiment with me so I can fix this issue.

Thank you very much in advance for any help. In addition to this thread you can contact me directly at contact@3gwatchdog.fr.

Hi,

Just wondering if anybody any recommendations for note taking apps which have implemented a software algorithm for palm rejection?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmodify:
Try inkredible. Not 100% guaranteed but with their optimizations they say it is

FYI our tabs don't have a wacom digitizer so I guess palm rejection is out of the question via hardware it all comes to software which would be difficult
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caudex:
Ah cool, thanks!

I will try that out.

Yup i knew the S Tab doesn't have a pen digitize like Wacom or N-Trig which is a shame especially for the premium price you pay.
