It flashed just fine but I still don't have R/W on /system. Apps like AdAway still don't work. Now I will say I didn't factory reset (i was already on Preview 3) when flashing the modded boot.img. I flashed everything over again like normal minus userdata.img.

Did I do it wrong for the preview builds?
[Nexus 6  General] Slick52:
Same here... I've tried flashing a few different boot.imgs but haven't found anything that lets me make changes to the system folder... I need to edit the build.prop DPI setting. Also, I can't get any layers themes to install.
[Nexus 6  General] MechaMorph:
I'm about to try this one:

http://projectelite.net/buck/shamu/M/decrypted_mp3_boot.img along with the kernel listed for MP3.

Do I need to actually wipe data though at this point for this to potentially work?

As nice as Marshmallow is (although Google On Tap not being active a huge bummer) I'm about to ready to jump to OmniROM so I get my full access back until full 6.0 release and all these issues get taken care of once and for all.
[Nexus 6  General] gmmorrell:
Which kernel should I use for rooting? When I look at despair's download page it shows Despair.R26.8.Shamu.zip which seems to be latest but it also shows Despair.M.Shamu.R6.8.zip

Which is the correct kernel for rooting MP3?
[Nexus 6  General] MechaMorph:
Yesterday I used Despair's M R6.4 and it rooted just fine so I would assume 6.8 would be too. The problem now is getting R/W to /system
[Nexus 6  General] teinwhite:
I used that elite kernel yesterday and while I haven't tried to edit build.prop, I've created a file in /system without issue.
[Nexus 6  General] MechaMorph:
Can you use AdAway properly?
[Nexus 6  General] teinwhite:
Sorry. I couldn't tell you. I don't use AdAway.
[Nexus 6  General] ataris_kid:
I don't know about "properly", but if you already have root -- boot into the bootloader, fastboot flash recovery TWRP*.img (as it overwrites the recovery partition with the stock recovery each time you boot), boot into that new recovery without rebooting, start an ADB shell and become root.. You should be able to get rw access to /system that way. Create a symlink from /system/etc/hosts --> /data/data/hosts. You can write to that partition and use AdAway in a manner similar to what you are accustomed to. Not EXACTLY the same, but it's pretty much transparent after you create the symlink.
[Nexus 6  General] elreydenj:
You can write to system with newest MP3 Elite Kernel. Just tried it.
[Nexus 6  General] gtj0:
Confirmed.

I still have the "your device is corrupt" warning bit I finally have root and r/w.

http://projectelite.net/buck/shamu/M/

You want decrypted_mp3_boot.img and Elite_Shamu_M-08_17_2015_mp3.zip
[Nexus 6  General] teinwhite:
When does that message appear? I haven't seen it yet.
[Nexus 6  General] gmmorrell:
initial report is that worked just fine. (dirty flash over preview 2).
[Nexus 6  General] MechaMorph:
It's new with Marshmallow. Basically it detects that something on the system has been modified. It's more or less saying you're not running standard software and it could be corrupt.

I can confirm that the decrypted_mp3_boot.img and Elite_Shamu_M-08_17_2015_mp3.zip do indeed make /system fully mountable as others have stated. AdAway now works (after it created the symlink) and I can now remove system apps using TiBu.
[Nexus 6  General] lantigua:
what was your flashing process to get it to work?:confused:
[Nexus 6  General] MechaMorph:
manually flashed everything all over again. I probably didn't need to but I did anyways.

fastboot flash bootloader [name of your file].img

fastboot flash radio [name of your file].img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash boot [name of modified boot].img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash cache cache.img

Let the system boot. Then boot back into bootloader. Load TWRP. Boot into TWRP from bootloader. Flash the kernel. Flash SuperSU. boot device. Done.
[Nexus 6  General] gtj0:
It appears between the Google logo and the boot animation. On preview 2 the message goes away after flashing the modified boot image. It seems to stick around on preview 3.

Yep, same process.
[Nexus 6  General] Alxoom33:
Flashed both of the non encrypt M3 boot images using fastboot and it was a no-go Google boot message and then a black screen.

I then repeated with a flash of a compatible kernel and both worked. It seems that it is not the fastboot flash that is the key, but the subsequent flashing of a custom kernel. So TWRP img flash away!

Still doesn't get rid of that damned Google corrupt boot screen, however, like it did with M2. Need a new .img [emoji39]

(not gonna lie, i forgot how to flash TWRP manually :eek: )
[Nexus 6  General] siddhesh.raikar:
I think so, but the toolkit reboots automatically I think, not sure..

Download the twrp img and put it into the platform tools folder in the android sdk folder.. Then reboot to bootloader, and

fastboot flash recovery <twrp image here.img>

Then reboot to recovery and flash the custom m kernel and SuperSU zip..

[Nexus 6  General] Micoolef:
Can I skip installing a non-stock kernel? Also, doesn't TWRP automatically install SuperSU? Or is it different with this preview?
[Nexus 6  General] SymbioticGenius:
Regarding flashing all these kernels to root: I keep reading the word decrypted. Can I stay encrypted with them or do I need to wait for a specific kernel that supports encryption?
[Nexus 6  General] ManHands:
You can stay encrypted. They just don't force encryption.

[Nexus 6  General] abogrhen:
for preview 3 root if you come from rooted preview 2

1-fastboot flash bootloader-radio-system-boot images (don't flash recovery or user data unless you want 100% stock)

2-then boot your phone normally

3-after full boot fastboot flash decrypted_mp3_boot.img

then Boot into TWRP and flash the latest Elemental X (others may work ), SuperSU , and Busybox (in that exact order).

You now have a rooted M3

if anyone have mpa44g rooted and want to update to mpa44i

just fastboot the system img (the rest did not change )

then go to twrp and flash SuperSU and Busybox
[Nexus 6  General] SymbioticGenius:
Well I'm able to edit build prop for tethering but gsam system app installer won't write to system. Maybe the app needs to updated, can anyone verify if it does or doesn't work for them?

Edit: can't install better battery stats as system app either. I'm assuming it's related and apps aren't capable of installing as system just yet. I'm going to try messing around with Titanium Backup cause I recall it being able to convert apps. I installed everything as per the earlier recommendation and I have written to system so that's working now

Root Preview 3 MPA44I coming from 5.1.1 lmy48i

I don't know if others are as confused as I am about rooting a clean install of Preview 3 (MPA44I) coming from 5.1.1 (lmy48i) but I have read all 29 pages of this thread and I cannot figure out to root a fresh install vs upgrading from a rooted install of Preview 2. If anyone would be willing to layout the steps for rooting a fresh install of Preview 3 (MPA44I) it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
[Nexus 6  General] vladashram:
Rooting Preview 3 is identical to rooting Preview 2. There are no differences.

Now for anybody who uses Elemental X, does anybody know a fix to get Chrome Dev working on it?
[Nexus 6  General] Alxoom33:
Are you rooted?
[Nexus 6  General] abogrhen:
becuse you are coming from 5.1

you need clean install

1-fastboot flash bootloader-radio-system-boot-user data (use the decrypted_mp3_boot.img for boot)

2-then boot your phone normally

3-then Boot into TWRP and flash the latest Elemental X , SuperSU , and Busybox (in that exact order).

You now have a rooted M3

[Nexus 6  General] MechaMorph:
Been there tried that. Have already checked my APN settings against a buddy with stock N6 on the same carrier. Bottom line is I'm done with Preview 3. Too buggy. The newest one driving me nuts is it can't release the radio after a call. So the phone just sits there saying "Hanging up". Takes a reboot to fix it.

I had the same issue with Messenger not being able to send messages in M Preview.. After spending a day trying to fix it i ended up having to roll back. Its not just you..
[Nexus 6  General] SquireSCA:
It is a shame that for a 3rd iteration of a preview that was touted as so close to the final release, it is the buggiest one to be released so far.

It is great that people can use 3G to get GPS, or use another kernel to fix something, or that you can disable Messenger and use Textra, etc...

But these are serious bugs, whether they are listed as known issues or not. I am simply surprised to see so many, so close to the final release... They obviously still have a lot of work to do before this version will be ready for prime time...
[Nexus 6  General] MechaMorph:
I don't look at it that way. It's a preview so I don't really care. I mean MMS was working initially then it starting failing (could be something T-Mobile related and not coded related). That's fine with me. Slightly annoying but it isn't release software so my choices are deal with it or roll back. In this case I chose to roll back. I'm now on the latest OmniROM nightly.

Looking forward to full release of Marshmallow though for two reasons.

1. It's shaping up to be a killer OS and I can't wait for Google Now On Tap.

2. I have a JUMP! ready with T-Mobile and that Huawei Nexus 6 will be mine. :D :D :D

Fastboot flash this, then you can gain SU on stock kernel. Courtesy of the guys from Elite Kernel.
[Nexus 6  General] Alxoom33:
Hey, I prefer Elemental X.
[Nexus 6  General] alryder:
So would the correct steps for doing this be?

1-fastboot flash bootloader, radio, system, boot, user data (use the decrypted_mp3-2_boot.img for boot)

2-boot your phone normally

3-then Boot into TWRP and flash the latest SuperSU , and Busybox.
[Nexus 6  General] Highway 55:
I actually had trouble last night trying to use stock rooted kernel. I could only get phone to boot by flashing custom kernel on top of the decrypted_mp3-2_boot.img. Ymmv.

Make sure you have a custom kernel on your sdcard before you try it. If you get a bootloop just flash a custom kernel and you should be golden.

Edit: doesn't make sense why this happens. That image is essentially a stock kernel with edits to allow SU access
[Nexus 6  General] buckmarble:
If you want root with the stock kernel and this boot image you will need to flash the se permissive zip floating around. You can't get root without permissive mode
[Nexus 6  General] Alxoom33:
You can either get the permissive zip file mentioned above or use the SeLinux app from the play store. You can pm me if you need help finding the zip.
[Nexus 6  General] housry23:
Any other custom kernel I can use besides elementalx to root preview 3? Also, can I just install busybox from the app instead of flashing it? Thanks in advance. I've read the last few pages of the thread and no real clear answers on this.

yes any kernal if it support the lasts build of marshmallow

no you have to use the flashable busybox the app version is not updated

Can someone tell me if I can flash Preview 2 unencrypted using TWRP? Right now I'm on Preview 3 rooted and without remembering I encrypted the phone, really don't like Preview 3 I've got a good few problems so I'd like to give Preview 2 a go.

So far I've got stock Preview 2, BusyBox for M and Ad Away downloaded. No Encrypt download link isn't working so a bit stuck with that. If no encryption can't be done purely in TWRP I can use a PC.. Quick step by step would be great :)
[Nexus 6  General] housry23:
Thanks kind sir. I have M, rooted with despair kernel and all root apps work great. The only issue I'm having is, I can't change the DPI. Changing permissions in system folders is failing and editing the build.prop is also failing. I use Rom Toolbox Pro and it has never failed me before. Anyone else have problems changing DPI in preview 3?

Edit: so I tried using ES File Explorer and it can't edit the build.prop either. I'm at a loss here. Is there something else I need in order to get the system to be read/write?

Why do we need to flash a custom kernel to get root? What exactly in the stock kernel doesn't make root work?

Is it something we can change editing some files in the ramdisk (like the mod to disable force encryption) or is it something which needs the entire kernel to be recompiled?
