Hm... I wonder if flashing this with the stock M build already up and running will eliminate the error message from popping up at each reboot.

As for my findings, thus far... I've tested my essential apps and everything looks solid

- Outgoing/incoming calls work perfectly

- Wifi calling works perfectly (T-Mobile)

- MMS/SMS work perfectly with the default Messenger app

- Google Hangouts works perfectly

- Nova Launcher Prime works perfectly

- Camera works perfectly

- Spotify works perfectly

In my limited testing with other apps, I haven't run into any issues at all.

I was really hesitant about using a preview build right after release, since I absolutely cannot afford to have any bugs making my phone unusable. However, I honestly haven't run into a single issue that would cause me to go back to a Lollipop build. :good::highfive:

[Nexus 6 Android Development] sn0warmy:
Being able to lower the dpi to 493 was one reason I didn't want to flash this. However, I've found that with Android M you can decrease text size lower than "Normal" to "Small" (couldn't do this on Lollipop). After doing that and installing Nova launcher with icon sizes set to 75% the phone seriously feels like I lowered the DPI down to 493.

Give it a try.

It's not about how you flash the rom.. Android M needs an M bootloader to boot.

Flash any android M bootloader. It doesn't matter which. You just need an M bootloader.

As itis stuck on google screen i cant access sd card.. so how do i flash the bootloader zip??
[Nexus 6 Android Development] danarama:
You probably should have done some research on how to manage your phone before flashing.

Boot into recovery and enable MTP mode.. Or fastboot flash the image
[Nexus 6 Android Development] lifeisfun:
Thanks, I thought if I follow this from the first post, that's all I need to do:

via flashable file:

Quote:

- Boot into recovery (TWRP/CWM)

- Un-mount /system in TWRP/CWM

- Wipe: system, data, dalvik and cache

- Flash ROM (be patient - takes a while)

- Flash SuperSU (optional)

- Flash radio (optional)

- Reboot (first boot takes a while)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] danarama:
I doesn't mention the bootloader, but it is required.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] lifeisfun:
One more question, actually two...

Can I flash M radio if I'm using Telus (canada)

If I decide to restore my current set up (Lollipop) do I have to reflash the bootloader again?

Thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] anuragvivek93:
Thats where it went wrong for me. Anyways nothing is coming when I'm enabling MTP so now I'm downloading the img file and will try the fastboot image
[Nexus 6 Android Development] danarama:
You can use any radio on any network in any country.. Bootloader is backwards compatible. No need to change.

Should just show up in computer when you enable MTP.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] anuragvivek93:
I got it working via fast image. Anyways the phone is encrypted now? Can I decrypt it using wugs toolkit?

Another thing from where to find the root file and kernel
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RayEdmondson:
If he has a decrypted image. Another option is to flash the JDX rom, which is decrypted and rooted.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] anuragvivek93:
any other way to get decrypt on stock rom?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] danarama:
Decryption means flashing a modified boot.img which doesnt force encryption (pretty much any custom kernel) then fastboot format userdata.

To avoid encryption in the first place, you would have had to flash the modified stock kernel that doesn't force encryption. The reason for this is that you must boot up with a stock kernel first boot. It won't boot with a custom kernel first boot.

I know this post is a little old, but I wanted to chime in and say I'm having the same issue. I have an Exchange account, and contact searching through the Exchange contacts is not working properly.

I did not try with preview 1. The first preview I installed was 3. Otherwise, I have no complaints.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rekids:
Just curious but I have noticed that with TWRP 2.8.7.1 clearing the caches then booting up is very quick not like with L where you wait for the system to update all the apps installed. Is this cause I don't have a recovery built for MP3 or is it cause the way M works it is just that much quicker?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] quaman:
I think m is that much quicker it definitely boots much faster for me. About twice as fast as lollipop
[Nexus 6 Android Development] the.emilio:
I concur. It definitely boots faster than LP did. And that's any versions of LP. 5.0-5.1.1

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Gromlakh:
Question: after flashing the MPA44I bootloaders...did you "fastboot oem unlock" again? 'Cuz I didn't think about doing that after flashing new bootloaders. The initial boot screen still had the unlocked icon at the bottom, but the new bootloaders were actually locked. After I flashed SuperSU in recovery, I got the "device is corrupt" screen and an encryption error. Ultimately it wiped everything including internal storage. Bye bye to all my TiBu backups...

Once I re-unlocked the bootloaders with fastboot, everything has worked smoothly.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] thecarp1975:
I don't understand, I thought once you unlocked, you're unlocked no matter what bootloader I flash. I've been using the latest M preview bootloader (bootloader-shamu-moto-apq8084-71.15) for well over a week now and haven't had any problems booting up after restoring any of my other backups (lollipop), but I just can't reboot after restoring an M preview backup. So, no, I never re-unlocked my bootloader after flashing the M preview bootloader. I'm confused. :confused:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] vergilbt:
Hello guys,

was using first and preview M since end of may and flashed last week new radio and preview...

Yesterday wanted to try a 5.1.1 room again but can't get data connection...

Thought I could use M radio for LP room? Can't?

The a lot
[Nexus 6 Android Development] danarama:
Correct
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TheLoverMan:
just got to click on unlock in dev options
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Gromlakh:
That was not my experience. After flashing everything for preview 3, I had several problems. I could boot just fine, but any attempt to modify the system image resulted in encryption errors and corruption warnings.

Doing another bootloader unlock fixed all of that completely. I had to boot up and re-enable unlocking in the developer options, as it was default checked as disabled. After that, "fastboot oem unlock" got me squared away and I haven't had any problems since then.

I hadn't planned on having to do that, but it does kinda make sense. The default configuration is locked bootloaders, so I can see how flashing brand new bootloaders and a totally default system image would reset the phone back to a locked state.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] danarama:
Except it doesn't, and it didn't to you even by your own admission You had the unlocked icon. That will not show if you are locked.

The corruption message comes up when you have altered system. If the fact you formatted userdata (as part of the unlock command) removed that message for you remains to be seen, but the fact that you re-unlocked an already unlocked bootloader removed the message is pure coincidence.

For what it is worth, it should just boot up past the the corruption message after a few seconds. If it is stuck on a black screen, there may actually be a corruption from a bad build.prop edit / modification / bad flash - but that again has nothing to do with the bootloader.

So in short, the message of corruption is pretty normal, most of us who modified the /system or /boot partition after flash will have seen this. Flashing a new bootloader or system.img does *NOT* relock an already unlocked bootloader.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Gromlakh:
I had already formatted userdata several times prior. The removal of the corruption message had nothing to do with that.

When I first started flashing the preview, I got everything flashed and tried to boot to recovery (TWRP). It didn't work, and I got the "android with the red triangle" error others have mentioned. I was finally able to boot, but I did not have root. I completely reflashed everything several times (including system/recovery). Once I was finally able to get TWRP working, the only thing I did was root through TWRP. Other than that, I made no changes at all to system. I immediately got the "corrupted" error and it specifically noted that there'd been a change to system.

I reflashed everything again and re-wiped userdata. I had the same problems. I also tried flashing xTrasmooth ROM via TWRP, and it would not flash at all. I tried rooting again, same error, plus encryption error that totally wiped everything (including internal storage). That resulted in yet another complete fastboot reflash of everything, with everything once again being wiped.

On the next clean boot, I perused the developer options and noticed that the option of unlocking the bootloaders was off. I turned it on, unlocked via fastboot, and everything has been smooth sailing ever since.

I can't tell you that I know everything that was happening from a technical standpoint. I can tell you, though, that after flashing preview 3 my phone was behaving exactly like it does when the bootloaders have not been unlocked, because I had a similar experience earlier before unlocking. I can also tell you that no number of reflashes or wipes did anything to fix the errors I was having when trying to modify system. Re-enabling unlocking, and then unlocking through fastboot again fixed everything immediately and I've had no further errors. Maybe all I needed to do was re-enable unlocking in developer options and that would have fixed it; I don't know because I didn't try that.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] danarama:
Yep. Coincidence though.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Tylog:
I never had this issues and i switch many times between M and Lollipop. The modem is for sure not the reason, i tested most Modems with whatever Rom and never see any problem. Did you check your Apn ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Ducter:
As was said, check your APN. I notice sometimes I can flash a certain ROM and it's just fine, other times the APN's are all goofed. I seem to see it more when coming from an AOSP to a stock based build but other times I can flash the very same ROM and everything be fine. Beats me.

Yes, it was the APN...

Nope, they're either the OTA file, which I think can be flashed, but not sure off hand, never flashed an OTA file, and then the full factory image that is the same as what you would download from Google. That has to be flashed through fastboot.

As per usual, if you are 100% stock, everywhere, you can flash the OTA. If you are even slightly modified from stock, then no.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Zenzr:
Makes sense.

I'm rooted with despair kernel, so I'd need to flash the stock kernel again? I could just factory reset (not really anything that needs to be backed up as I have it via multirom) and then flash the OTA?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
any factory reset just deletes the user data. all the files that you added stay in there still. for example.. if you have root, and you factory reset your phone, itll just get rid of your apps and data, but youll still have root. a real "factory reset" would require you to flash a factory image. if you want to flash an ota, youll have to flash a factory image, the whole thing.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Zenzr:
Which is what I thought and why I was going to just wipe and flash the stock zip again. Then the OTA?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] danarama:
Why not just flash the rom you want from the beginning?

You will need toe stock rom and kernel. It must boot with stock kernel before you flash any mods or kernels.

There is a modified stock kernel you can boot with if you don't want force encryption.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Zenzr:
I was under the impression you can't just flash OTAs as they're not the full rom.

Is it in OP? I'll look.
