Thanks for quick answer :good:

Probably over complicating - trying to catch up by reading a lot to, just to get my ducks in a row before I do something stupid ;)

So M was unencrypted when flashed as secondary, huh? Interesting, since vomers rom force encrypts.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] puritan007:
Maybe mine just broken. I clicked encrypt in settings security and it didn't... Lol but yeah I flashed vomirs the other never worked for me, and no it didn't force encrypt.. So that's odd if it should have.

However I'm still on r95 firmware/radio/ whatever, not sure if that mattered..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] sookieball:
Love M.

But, I miss cm12.1

So my guess,

I have to flash old boot and system and all older fastboot files and radio, minus stock recovery,

Then I'll be able to go back to cm12.1 correct?

Tried just downloading and flashing via twrp from M and phone was encrypted so no go....

Also can't get past encryption. Tried password, default_password, defaultpassword.... No luck.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] christopherrrg:
So so true lol

I Fastbooted the Preview on a FULL Blown out the box wipe on my N6 , and so far battery has been the same as lollipop so far for Me . Today 5½ hours SoT . My normal is 5-6 hours
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Diesel779:
I'm having the same issue mentioned a couple of pages back, Which is I'm being limited to 720p video on Youtube. Has anyone else tried to see if they have the same problem?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] vickysud:
Same issue with me, max is 720p.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Diesel779:
Thanks for confirming it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] david279:
Don't know why but I can get above 720p.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Diesel779:
Some strange goings on lol.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] imablackhat:
I flashed every file to be stock. However I can't enter the stock recovery its just the red ! Android ??

Same here for me. Getting my usual 4-5 hrs..

Kernel version

Android M has a new kernel version doesn't it? If so what's new and what impact, if any does it have on battery life and performance?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nexus6R3plicant:
Hold power button and press volume up ...... That's how you get into stock recovery

I'm having the same issue. WiFi icon keeps flickering. If i go to WiFi settings, it keeps going back and forth from "Connected" and "null". Also, don't know if it's related and haven't seen this in here yet, but Google Now (cards) will not set up properly. Keeps saying, "Network error" both on WiFi or LTE.

I flashed images via fastboot, using modified boot for no forced encryption.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] darren.wlsn1:
how do i get into twrp to restore backup?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] christopherrrg:
Would it have anything to do with this? (For cards, I'm sorry about your WiFi {can't produce issue})
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Hereisphilly:
Reading through, it looks like root isn't available yet?

We've got it for the N9 on the M preview by flashing a modified boot img before flashing supersu, wondering if anyone has managed for the N6?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Diesel779:
This is the same thing isn't it?http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61041335&postcount=146
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Hereisphilly:
It looks like it, but then following that link it seems people are having trouble with root

On the N9 it was dead easy, exactly the same process when root first came out on lollipop to deal with SELinux,
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Diesel779:
I hope we get root that easy on the N6 soon.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] iStayHigh:
Google now is working fine for me now, I don't know if it was working for me last night cause I really don't use google now, I just turned them on to check if it was working for me and they are.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] krazyflipj:
All I did was restore from backup. Kept bootloader and radio. YMMV
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Theandroidfan:
Anyone gonna give me an answer?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] drawde40599:
I'm really liking M , I'm finding it as stable if not more stable than lollipop . Only bug I've found is "OK google " anywhere ( screen off) is broken . Hopefully they can fix it with a APP update .
[Nexus 6 Android Development] zetsumeikuro:
Why don't you flash it and find out for yourself? Battery life always varies from user to user, so it's quite pointless to ask this question.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Diesel779:
Have you tried setting your language to English US? I'm in the UK and was having the same problem and that solved it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] drawde40599:
Ya that's what its already set at . So it let you set up "OK google detection / always on ? ( so it works with screen off)

Its working fine with screen on its just screen off I can't get to set up .
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Diesel779:
No, my mistake it doesn't work from the lockscreen.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] sookieball:
Tried to. But says enter PW for encryption and when I flashed M I was a fool and didn't back up my sdcard storage so no more back up to restore from :(
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mattskent:
It's my understanding that this preview does not have a new kernel.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ohad129:
Its should be diff if not why only despair did a new built dedicated for N6 according for the new kernel source .

About battery life for me its great
[Nexus 6 Android Development] brando56894:
Surprisingly M worked fine for me using the latest T-Mobile bootloader and radio. It took cell a few minutes to connect though and Google apps said they connect even though I was connected to WiFi, after it connected to cell everything was fine.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] minieod:
It works for me.

But I'm using nova launcher. Try that

Never mind. Saw the comment about from screen off. Yeah doesn't work
[Nexus 6 Android Development] drawde40599:
Its a new kernel , Franco posted a Lil about it in his G+
[Nexus 6 Android Development] metallized:
So if I wanna try this on multirom, I can flash bootloader and radio from twrp. And then go to multirom n flash this android m ROM without flashing SuperSU. Am I correct ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] aoaleman:
Yup!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Kchitown1977:
Anyone flash this with sprint 5.1.1 without flashing bootloader and radio
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
bootloader has to be flashed, radio is your choice. it wont boot without the bootloader(unless its on multirom).
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Sleeepy2:
You don't need bootloader or radio with MultiROM. It is running fine for me and I just did the rom in MultiROM.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] chopt51:
Were you on the latest multirom?

I didn't flash bootloader or radio.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Silentsoul:
did all written in the first post excpt flashing super SU but i cant get past the Google Logo for like 20 min now..

edit. IN twrp
[Nexus 6 Android Development] brizey:
FYI...Despair got root working with his kernel. Confirmed...but be warned that TiBU insta-closes. But root explorer and adaway work so far... (and I guess...that was a lot of ellipses for one post, lol)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] skhjpz:
Link?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] brizey:
It's in his thread in this forum section. Despair Kernel. Look in his WIP folder for R2.3.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] M@XLOL:
followed insructions in OP an dcan't get passed google logo :(
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Luke2508:
I'm super confused right now, I ended up doing a full wipe and installing manually, and I got it to boot (though on first boot my phone had to "reset") but now I want to flash despair kernel , I tried to boot to recovery through boot loader and it says "No command." I tried flashing the recovery.img that comes with the M preview, and tried to flash the latest TWRP with WugFresh Nexus Root Kit. I am lost as to what to do next :/ Ty for your work btw Vomer, you're amazing <3
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
you flashed the bootloader? if not on multirom, you have to, first thing. do this.. flash the bootloader, flash the ROM, then reboot.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Jhvoorhies:
I am having the same WiFi issue. It has only happened on M. I can flash BenzoRom or Euphoria and the issue stops. When I try to flash any of these builds, my WiFi icon keeps flickering. Upon searching WiFi settings, it keeps going back and forth with connected and null. No idea how to enjoy M with this issue. I've clean installed about twenty times, formatted data, and tried both of Despair's kernels (2.3 & 2.4). Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] the.emilio:
Fastboot flash twrp and then see if you can get to recovery
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Luke2508:
Tried that, didn't work, so I reflashed a lollipop factory image. Got TWRP back, but now lollipop doesn't want to boot D:

So I guess I'll have to manually install from the stock image :/

EDIT: Never mind, after manually installing from .img files it removed recovery, and trying to install the latest TWRP from nexus toolkit, I just get a bootloop. I'm at a loss now.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
OK.... just wiped and flashed the zips.... been on the Google screen for like two minutes now.... this isn't normal.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] twist:
I am on the Google Logo as well dude. Messing with it and seeing what I can figure out.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Silentsoul:
i ****ed up more. i somehow managed to do a fullwipe and now i cant even install my backup. adb is not working and i cant push any files to my nexus 6...i need fast ideas x)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
Has ANYONE gotten this to work? I'm not reading 44 pages to find out.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Zenzr:
Yes. Both this and multirom with Tassodar's ROM.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
What method did you use?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Zenzr:
For which way?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] twist:
I am able to get back to TWRP which is good, I tried flashing again without root just for kicks and it didn't seem to change things. I bet we are just missing something that has probably already been covered haha.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
Well, I'm not using MultiROM, so....

EDIT:

Installed it with the fastboot method, and rebooted into TWRP to flash SuperSU and a zip that prevents enforcement of encryption upon boot, and it said "Device failed verification. Your phone will reboot in 5 seconds." Now all I get is a black screen. Gonna try it again without that encryption zip. I don't want encryption, but.... oh, well.

EDIT2:

Fastboot method, without the no-encryption zip.... all I get is a black screen. No Android logo, NOTHING. WTF!!! Only time I see "Google" is when I boot into TWRP.

EDIT3:

Unplugged the USB cable and rebooted, briefly saw the Google logo, then that dreaded "Your device has failed verfication." Dude, seriously?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] the.emilio:
Did you perform a factory reset via TWRP before flashing the img files?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
Yes, though that would seem to be a no-brainer, I'm sure some people didn't think of it.

I got it working, though. There's another thread with a non-encrypted boot.img, which worked for me.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] the.emilio:
Lol "some" is a polite way of saying it. Good you got it going. Enjoy.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
All I have to say is... DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ROOT/FLASH SUPERSU.

It won't boot. You'll just get a black screen.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] KnifeSkills:
You can get root to work by flashing Despair Kernel r2.4 from this thread on the devs site under WIP and SuperSU2.49 Beta from here.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
Thanks! I'm going to try that since I can't seem to get the phone working again. Fully wiped, did the whole process over again, and I'm still getting just a black screen. So hopefully your suggestion works.

[MENTION=1363323]vomer[/MENTION], shouldn't the cache command be "fastboot format cache"? I got the phone working again, using that command. Not sure if it mattered, but I wiped data, too, again, first.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Zenzr:
This is how I did it, sorry for the late response.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jodvova:

[Nexus 6 Android Development] vomer:
Well... it is a developer preview so be aware of that.

Also, flashable bootloader and radio are already in op
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NolenUmar:
Just downloaded. Going to try it out after a complete backup. Thank you for sharing
[Nexus 6 Android Development] __NBH__:
Tried it out but titanium backup force closes and restoring my data in twrp caused the phone not to boot, can't be dealing with setting all my apps up again, how are others getting their data across?

Also Poweramp force closes so its no good for me at the moment, I use it every day.

But M is pretty good, kind of like what lollipop should have been IMO.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
I had google restore my apps/data, as usual. haven't used titanium for backups for about 3+ years. enable google to back them up, then restore them.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] brizey:
Just curious, but does it do a better job now at only restoring more recent items? I always struggled with it wanting to restore every app I ever had, or apps I want only on my tablet to my phone, etc. Plus there's the whole layers/cm theme thing. Also, I would sometimes get screwed with game data not restoring, and there is no way to force it to make a current backup. All of these things are show stoppers for me, but if they are resolved I works give it a look again.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Lento10:
After flashing, bootloader, radio, rom, kernel and supersu. I get fail authentication, how could I get rid of it?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
I dunno, worked fine for me, but I can't uninstall apps because Busybox won't install. A LOT of root apps just won't work, period.

I don't depend on Google backups because it only works for some things. Games, for example, are some things it DOESN'T work for.

Flash stock recovery and do a factory reset. Not really worth the trouble, IMO.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitronet:
My titanium backup works perfect. Does anyone know how to make busybox install on this rom?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
Root apps pretty much are broken. AdAway won't install hosts file, Busybox by Stericson and JRummy won't install, TB won't remove system apps, and so on. All we can do is wait for Koush or Chainfire to update their superuser apps to work with Android M.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] KnifeSkills:
My AdAway and busybox are fine, havent tried TB. SuperSU2.49 Beta, Despair Kernel r2.4.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
AdAway repeatedly failed to update the hosts files. Busybox repeatedly failed to install. I don't know how mine would fail and yours wouldn't.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bill3508:
Stericsons won't work. Busybox on rails works if you select the recovery method. Recommended to me. M running hells core, 2.49 su.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
before restoring my apps, google asked me from which device I wanted to restore, and which backed up date. I chose nexus 6, from today(before flashing m). and what do you mean by layers? for theming? layers works by default on m, seriously!

just enable the setting option to back up your apps, and itll sync right away. after that, you're good.

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ----------

flash a kernel that supports m
[Nexus 6 Android Development] brizey:
I go back and forth between layers and TE ROMs. I have maybe 20 or 30 themes each. I usually only restore a few I plan to use in the near future.

Picking a device and date sounds promising. How are you sure it had backed everything up before you start? I can't find a way to see what had been backed up when.

ALSO... I went back to my Benzo backup and Google now works again. Need to be stable for the work week, but I'll try m again next weekend.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
I can't see what's backed up when either, I'm a bit more trusting as a person, so I trust them. but every time since lollipop, google always asks if I want to restore, then which backup I'd want to restore(during setup). and you can also use NFC to restore any apps from other devices(wth NFC) during the setup.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] brando56894:
I actually didn't have to flash the radio or boot loader.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] JimSmith94:
This might be off topic, but how do you get Google to ask you which device and date to restore? I've never seen that any time I have wiped a phone. I just log in to Google and it starts restoring Play Store apps. I just switched from a Note 3 and it even installed some Samsung apps to my Nexus 6!

This layers thing is all new to me too, but I'm interested in it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
it started doing it on the nexus 6, exactly when i do t remember. but i just flashed m, and after i log in, it asks if i want to restore, then which backup. itll restore not only apps, but system settings and wallpaper as well.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] JimSmith94:
Thanks for the quick response! I hadn't heard anything about this new change, but it sounds awesome, and it will make updating much less painless in the future. Now to find those M update threads again...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] verusevo:
how long is awhile for the initial boot up. Just flashed via twrp and its been about 15 mins on the google screen?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] michmeister:
Same for me. So I restored nandroid
[Nexus 6 Android Development] puritan007:
30 seconds... If more than 2 minutes you did something wrong or bad download.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] michmeister:
It says successful and I followed directions exactly
[Nexus 6 Android Development] verusevo:
not sure what that could of been. DL was durect from OP. Flashed the ROM first. then the bootloader & radio. Then SU. all in the same recovery session. should i have done them one at a time and reboot in between? I also wiped all the respective portions btw
[Nexus 6 Android Development] brizey:
Yeah, that's the kind of problem I always had. Going to test it next clean flash.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
bootloader you had to flash before the ROM. if you flashed it after, go ahead and flash the ROM, kernel, and su again. su won't work without a special kernel.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bill3508:
Do not flash SuperSU if your flashing the stock kernel.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] vomer:
and the new google app backup in M will be even better in the future! :) finally...real full app backup :good:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] puritan007:
If you want to use Su you need to install dispair WIP kernel for M first. Wipe , install ROM, install kernel, install Su newest beta. Su without special kernel makes you sit at boot screen forever.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] verusevo:
UGH WTF..... so now after being stuck on google screen 2x consecutively for 20 mins i just tried to go to back to recovery so i could just restore or flash a a diff rom and my entire internal storage has been erased.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] buffal0b1ll:
Hells core posted a m kernel in their g+ community. From what I've read this one allows root and allows busybox on rails to install using TWRP. This allows TiBU to work.

Edit: testimony below contradicts that TiBU works with this recipe.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] michmeister:
This makes no sense. First you say to install dispair first. Then you say to flash ROM first then kernel. Which is it?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bill3508:
I'm on Hells Core with su 2.49 and busy box working and tibu force closes immediately every time.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] puritan007:
Honest? Did I forget a comma? I'm saying don't install Su unless you are on a kernel that supports it, then I go on to explain the proper flash order, which is also in both M preview ROM OP.... Which no one reads? There are now two hells and dispaire both work with SuperSU 2.49 beta, busy box, etc. Only issue I've found is tbu fc. So if two OP are not enough, and 15 or so expensive, I guess I'll renenterate.

Flash ROM, kernel, supersu...

The problem (confusion) is some are using multi bout others aren't. From my attempts I can tell you,

A: for the people who don't have important things on phone, use regular twrp. Before you begin anything install the M boot loader. Then format your phone. I mean twrp, wipe, format, type YES. . reboot recovery. Install M ROM of your choice, p5 has dispaire kernel built in.. So, flash ROM, (custom kernel (unless p5), then SuperSU 2.49. Reboot. Of it takes more than 2 minutes something is wrong.

B: for people with important stuff and need phone, multiboot..

Twrp, advanced, multiboot, add ROM, install M (vomirs works jdx doesn't) install custom kernel, install super Su 2.49, reboot.

The jdx p5 if format used May have working titanium backup (tbu), every other way seems to tbu fc instantly.

That's about all I can say. I wouldn't say all that if I want bored. Good luck.. Oh and I'm fairly certain you never install a kernel first, since it would be overwritten... Fyi
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fight:
Yesterday, i've lost 4 times data connection without using my phone and the only solution was airplane mode, anyone else ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cpiso:
Back up your storage, format data, reinstall ROM. That fixed it for me.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
IF the app developer chooses to use it. SMH. A majority of apps could be working with the current backup solution, but most ignored it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] brizey:
So that's why it doesn't work right.

For anyone having the google now network error, I had the same problem. I logged on to my google account through the web browser and went to permissions and revoked access from all apps that I didn't use including "Nexus 6" multiple times with old dates. Then when I started google now, it went through! Try this link: https://myaccount.google.com/security then go down to manage apps.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Nacho~:
I've tried for the past 3 days now to flash this, but every time I get stuck on the Google splash screen before the boot animation. I have flashed the radio, bootloader, ROM, kernal, super SU, and anything else, but it always results in the same thing. I have tried flashing without the kernal and SU but it makes no difference. This is with a clean wipe. it looks like even after flashing the bootloader and radio files, my baseband is stuck at .98 version. Am I the only one having this issue?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Pako0o!:
Nope... i am having the same issue,, tried yesterday like 3 times, no go, tried today again...same thing,

:confused:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
flash the bootloader, reboot. go back and flash the rom and boot up. now go back and flash the kernel. for some reason it doesnt boot when flashing everything together.
