here you go.. :)

---------- Post added at 12:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 AM ----------

do you have a busybox installed?

---------- Post added at 12:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:41 AM ----------

oh, plus i dont tap r/w. when i do it, i get this option that pops up..
[Nexus 6  General] brockkk:
too much work, too lazy. lol. im use to just flashing supersu and being rooted.
[Nexus 6  General] jodvova:
simms22 i don't know how you did it, but I just installed root explorer and it doesn't allow me to edit build.prop nor offers to remount /system in RW. I do have SuperSU 2.49 and despair kernel installed. I do have root too.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
very very odd! can you try reflashing again?
[Nexus 6  General] jodvova:
Nah, can't be bothered. I edit build.prop in twrp via and pull/push.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
did i ask you already, do you have a busybox installed? i ask because many root apps wont work or wont work properly without it.
[Nexus 6  General] jodvova:
No. I've never had busy box in life.

As I said before, having supersu installed was enough to remount system in RW in L. The first time I encountered a problem was with Android M.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
install busybox. grab the version https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox install it, open it, install the busybox, then check your root again. btw, it used to be included in roms, but nobody adds it anymore, as its available from the play store.

Anyone with custom kernel with root get tether working? Not finding settings.db database following the instructions... Also tried WiFi tether router and get a reboot from my phone!<br />

Same issue, same kernel and su...
[Nexus 6  General] jeston:
I tried for several hours to get root explorer to mount system r/w, but couldn't. Tried despair kernel and elite kernel. I get the same screen as simms, but the changes i make are not actually saved. I only needed to mount system r/w to change build.prop, so I ended up just doing what the user above said, just pull/push with twrp.

As far as getting tethering working, yes, it works just fine for me. I don't mess with settings.db, just build.prop. Just add net.tethering.noprovisioning=true to the end. Might not work with carriers besides Verizon though, not sure.
[Nexus 6  General] ethan.r.besbris:
Perform the below command via PC:

adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/global --bind name:s:tether_dun_required --bind value:i:0

To verify the entry was successfully added, execute the following (DOES NOT WORK ON M):

adb shell content query --uri content://settings/global --where "name='tether_dun_required' AND value=0"

If the query returns a row_id, you are good to go. Reboot phone and you should be fine.*

I am not able to get /system to be mounted r/w as well. I do have root access though. Also busybox and adaway don't install of course.
[Nexus 6  General] :
I have same exact setup and don't have this issue.. Weird. I'd wipe entire phone again and install preview 2 then let it boot and then install Despair kernel again and see if the problem still exists.
[Nexus 6  General] imex99:
This is what I'm doing in the morning... Any others using any other kernel?
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
ive used both despair and elementalx on m and m v2.
[Nexus 6  General] MaxMan1:
I am using latest despair kernel. Wiped and reflashed but still system is not r/w. This is m v2.
[Nexus 6  General] imex99:
Went back to L for now... Really liked my M v2 battery life on stand by but can't use my most used apps (WiFi tether router, amazon prime streaming doesn't work). I'll test the next Dev preview and can't wait.
[Nexus 6  General] shwise:
Could you post the steps you took to flash and root Android M? Did you keep TWRP through the update, or flash it again afterward? Did you format data after flashing system.img?
[Nexus 6  General] cmh714:
I believe this mat be caused by not formatting the data partition. I had sort of this problem. Have you tried to make a backup in TWRP? When I tried it balked that Internal Storage was 0 and that the partitions couldnt be mounted due to a failed decrypt. Now having said that, I did Format the data prior, but for whatever reason even though it said succeeded, it had not. I did another Format and that seemed to fix me.

Cant hurt to try, but remember to backup anything. GL
[Nexus 6  General] airik007:
this ^
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
ive restored a backup from m to 5.1.1 at least 20 times, its all the same. you dont need a special thread for it. i used the m bootloader on 5.1.1 just fine.
[Nexus 6  General] MaxMan1:
I wiped the partitions including data from TWRP. Then reflashed except for recovery. I then booted into recovery, adb pushed the kernel and su (also pushed an adaway hosts file while at it.) Then I rebooted. Went through a restore. Still same problem. System doesnt want to r/w. Tried root explorer but no luck. Tried elemental and despair kernels. Not sure if data was wiped correctly so I rebooted to recovery, wiped data again etc but still nothing.
[Nexus 6  General] airik007:
ok, thanks.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
remembering back to when m was originally released, i had the same issue for about 2 days, and busybox wouldnt install. then one day i finally installed busybox, and edited my build.prop. it just started working right on its own.
[Nexus 6  General] cmh714:
you need to format data not just wipe...i believe that is your issue. better backup since formatting data will erase everything
[Nexus 6  General] MaxMan1:
Should I just boot into recovery and format only? Or do I need to reflash anything? I could have sworn I tried this but OK.
[Nexus 6  General] cmh714:
if everything else flashed properly then you should only need to format the data in TWRP. If not, the steps would be: Flash M with/without Recovery; flash TWRP; boot into twrp; format data (I had to do this 2-3 times before it actually worked even though it said successful, YMMV); boot up; optional you could do a factory reset, but dont believe its necessary.

The first and easiest way to check if your good, is to boot into twrp and if it sayd that you have 0 bytes on Internal, you know that format did not work, so try again. Thats what I had to do...a bit of a PITA.

Battery Charging indicatory

Hi,

Sorry if this has been reported earlier.

I jumped from 5.1.1 to M preview 2 last night. My battery was like 40% , i connected the samsung s6 charger( fast charging i guess). After 20 mins of plugin time the charge indicator jumped up to 80%. Does any one else have this issue?

I installed the battery monitor app and it shows the same reading even after 4 separate tests done. Is this a bug or improvement?
[Nexus 6  General] Middle_Man:
I cannot for the life of me figure out what you guys are doing to make this work.

i can get M2 to work. just fine. But i cant get it to boot when attempting to root. Would someone mind correcting me?

my process is:

install the M2 package fastboot style

replace recovery with twrp in OP

start twrp, copy SuperSU and Elite

restart bootloader, flash boot with fix_rw_boot.img

restart system let run for 2 min.

restart twrp, flash SuperSU and Elite

format /DATA/**

restart system

wont load past "Starting Apps"

**skipping DATA format wont load past the swirling dots

what did i mess up? Thanks in advance for replies :)

[Nexus 6  General] LeeSta108:
Has anyone had issues with YouTube freezing
[Nexus 6  General] prbpci0:
Maybe try another Kernel? Hell's worked well for me on the first preview. I recognize Elite is working for some, but it's worth a try.

Pete.
[Nexus 6  General] bmakk2055:
The fix_rw boot. IMG doesn't work with the new preview but you can just flash the custom kernel and super user to have root.
[Nexus 6  General] Middle_Man:
Thanks! Can you confirm Write access?
[Nexus 6  General] bmakk2055:
Only root no write
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
well thats just weird.. how do half the people on m v2 have root and the ability to write, and the other half the people only have root, without the ability to write. this doesnt make sense..
[Nexus 6  General] gtj0:
Maybe it depends on how you got v2. OTA or factory image.

Oh, and I don't have either now. I had root once after much fiddling then thought "Let me recreate the steps". I couldn't.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
neither.. dirty flash.
[Nexus 6  General] gtj0:
From 5.1.x or preview 1? My first attempt was dirty flash of preview 2 over 5.1.1. The dirty flash worked fine but I was following the fix_rw instructions which of course didn't work. Then I did a flash-all and tried Elite and hC kernels in various and got it to work once.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
over m, so technically its like an ota, as no data gets wiped.
[Nexus 6  General] AuralPsynapse06:
I used the factory image, and can successfully write to system, so I'm not so sure dirty flashing or clean flashing is the reason as to why some can, and can't write to system.

Edit: Here is the updated image/kernel I used to achieve read/write on M P2

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61785382&postcount=371
[Nexus 6  General] gtj0:
Ah, ok now. Using the image and zip from that post I got both.

Clean flash-all.sh of Preview 2

Just before it rebooted, I immediately flashed, TWRP and insecure_noencrypt_boot.img.

From TWRP I flashed Elite_Shamu_M-07_07_2015_blu_zen_updated.zip, BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip and BusyBox-Android_M.zip

Rebooted, ran through setup and had both root and r/w.

I already had an adb backup so I just restored that but I'll try TiBu in a bit.

UPDATE: TiBu is working fine.
[Nexus 6  General] AuralPsynapse06:
Perfect, only issue I had was WiFi disconnecting randomly, I just flashed a different kernel cause I read it was kernel related, I'm using Hellscore, everything is working fine now. Glad you managed Root/Write :highfive:
[Nexus 6  General] Middle_Man:
Confirmed. Successful root with Write (edited build.prop for screen casting). Dirty flashed on a stock M2. Thanks a ton :D Nevermind. no write, presumably because i didn't install the insecure boot image.

Getting the "Cannot be trusted" nag at boot... but i didn't install the insecure_noencrypt_boot.img file. Will flashing that file wipe the card because of the non-encryption?

you guys are awesome. thanks

---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 PM ----------

______last post, i swear______

working. flashed over a setup system (not a fresh install)

Like gtj0 said:

fastboot flash the insecure_noencrypt_boot.img

boot to twrp

install Elite_Shamu_M07_07_2015_blu_zen_updated.zip & BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip & BusyBox-Android_M.zip

reboot to system

everything fine. Root + R/W, no nag

thanks to all for the upkeep on this. Worked for me and hopefully everyone else
[Nexus 6  General] buckmarble:
Here is a new kernel build if anyone wants it. I added some new patches from cm, ramdisk updated, conservative gov and mpd now default. The default settings should make sure you don't get any random reboots.

http://projectelite.net/buck/shamu/M/Elite_Shamu_M-07_16_2015.zip

What I did to get system write access is wipe everything but internal storage in twrp, flash images in bootloader, before booting go back into twrp and flash this kernel and superSU then reboot. After restoring apps, I rebooted one more time and I was able to write to system with root explorer.
[Nexus 6  General] bmakk2055:
What all files did you flash in boot loader? Just system,radio, and boot?
[Nexus 6  General] Rarstar:
My flash order

1.Flash M2 image(all)

2.Flash TWRP recovery(2.8.7.1)

3.Reboot to recovery mode

4.Install Elite_Shamu_M-07_16_2015.zip

5.Install BETA_SuperSu-v2.49.zip

6.Install BusyBox-Android_M.zip

7.Reboot system

Now everything is OK！May help someone
[Nexus 6  General] jonzey231:
I've literally done this exact thing like 4 times tonight. Each time with a different M Compatible kernel (including Despair, Elite, ElementalX and again with Elite) and I have no write access lol. I feel like my flash storage is gonna fry I've been wiping and reflashing so often lol.

Update: Just went through and did it exactly as you described. Still no write access.

This literally makes ZERO sense.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
i have a solution for many of you, and its worked for someone as well. thete is a very basic m v2 rom built, you can flash it with twrp, flash it and supersu, and you should boot up with full root. its this rom http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/development/rom-jdx-1-0-t3121053 and here is the person who it worked for :) http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61949782&postcount=17
[Nexus 6  General] Middle_Man:
User cmh714 suggested on page 16 of this thread that a FORMAT of the DATA partition solves the no write access. It was among the things I tried when I was fighting with it.

Hello all- If I'm not mistaken the Chinese versions and Rom's of our Ascend Mate have the option of "online" when they go into the themes app. Is there a ROM I can run on my L09 which will give me that option ? What exactly would happen if I installed a Chinese ROM on my L09, not sure if it's possible but curious. Would like to get that "online" option in my themes app.

Cheers for any help !!

You can download themes from here

(Can't post links yet so just replace the xx with tt) hxxp://emui.huawei.com/cn/plugin.php?id=themezone&zone=theme

The first section are the latest themes and the second section is most liked themes. If you go into a theme and you see something like ¥2.00 under the screenshots it means you have to pay to download it. If it just says 下载(Download) you can download it.

Once you've got the .hwt file place it into the Hwtheme folder. Go into Themes app and it should appear at the top of the list.

If you flash the Chinese rom you should get the option to download themes from within the Themes app but you'll also get A LOT of unwanted apps that are only in Chinese. You also don't get access to the Play Store since Huawei have their own app store.
