3. flash bootloader

4. reboot TWRP

5. flash rom

or

1. reboot TWRP

2. wipe system, data, cache, everything

3. moves the from using MTP

4. flash boot, radio, ROM

5. reboot

still stuck in boot. am i missing something here?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] brizey:
So I found where settings are stored in M. They are now stored in xml files in /data/system/user/0. There is a separate single layer xml file for each of the legacy tables in the old database.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] johker216:
These are the instructions from the first post:

Instructions

1. flash bootloader if not already on M (download flashable bootloader zip)

2. flash radio if not already on M (download flashable radio zip)

3. reboot recovery

4. flash ROM

5. format data partition if not already on M

The links can be found by going to it. What you said you've done don't comport to these instructions.

Anybody have a problem with the tether? My broadcast the signal and my tablet connects with my nexus 6 but it doesn't pass the internet. Just says there is no network.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mflow:
nvm, fixed it by manually flashing boot and radio.

Well known and it's gone unfixed? It's not like it's even a complicated fix. I have it patched up for p8 that I will be uploading soon, which also includes other fixes.

Wow, some people...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] toknitup420:
The only fix that I've seen in the viper thread for it was to install viper as normal apk and use compatible mode instead of installing the drivers. But if you get it fully working that would be bada$$ ?????????
[Nexus 6 Android Development] okibi:
Yeah, piece of cake. Let me repackage his zip and upload it.

my patched viper4a zip package - has working aux and stuff
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Othoric:
Just dirty flashed this over the stock Android M Developer Preview which I had rooted and ran despair kernel. Figured I just give it a shot instead of clean flashing since I had already set up all my apps. So far its running great with no issues. Only problem I am having is screen mirroring to Chromecast doesn't work, which if I remember correctly is a Viper problem.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] toknitup420:
Sweet deal man. Hey Did you have a ROM for the m8. You're name looks very familiar.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] okibi:
I had a ROM for pretty much everything since the HTC Tytns...

But yes, I had Onox and Vanillipop for the HTC M8.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] toknitup420:
Oooh I remember those ROMs. I ran vanillipop for a while(great ROM). Good to see you on the n6. BTW loving the m build.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] okibi:
Thank you! :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jason504:
Nice rom titanium backup not working without formatting SD card. A little laggy other than that seems pretty good. By the way anyone wants to know you can restore back to 5.1.1. I did it with no problems at all.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] okibi:
Out of curiosity, when did you notice lag? You WILL notice lag on startup for a couple minutes while background scripts setup some tweaks and such, but after that should be golden.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] toknitup420:
Regarding the v4a fix. Does it work with any kernel.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Othoric:
By any chance does this fix screen mirroring on Chromecast? And the "MusicFX has stopped" when trying to access the equalizer in Google Play Music? I know that I can copy and paste the Viper apk into the MusicFX folder in system/priv-app to solve it, but was curious if the zip already contained it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] okibi:
Yep, sure does!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] toknitup420:
Even sweeter deal lol. ?????
[Nexus 6 Android Development] okibi:
Yes to the fixing chromecast mirroring.

Sorta to the MusicFX issue. It doesn't replace the app or remove the other apk. They just play nice now and you can switch between them if you like.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] okibi:
JDX p8 is still uploading, for those that are interested. :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Othoric:
That's what I always did. I would never remove MusicFX just add viper to the folder in system/priv-app and its always worked great for me thanks!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] AdamJC07:
Hello. I apologize in advance if this is a noob question. I'm trying to figure out what the difference is between the unsecured boot zip and the bootloader zip. Also, could you explain what the Viper file is with your list of downloads?

I flashed the bootloader zip and all is well, but I'm just curious about the other files I referenced.

Thank you for any advice and support.

Adam
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Jrmiller:
i am
[Nexus 6 Android Development] HiGhDRo3o5:
Unsecured is for unencrypted i believe. Now included in rom
[Nexus 6 Android Development] AdamJC07:
I thought this may be the case.

Thank you.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] okibi:
I'm not sure if this is "actually" answering, but bootloader is the newest from the M preview and you should flash it. Boot and Viper are both included in the ROM and you don't need to flash them.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] AdamJC07:
That makes sense. I wasn't exactly sure and I couldn't find anything right away which hinted at the other files' purposes.

Thank you for the help!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Manuelpz:
Okibi,thanks for the for viper4azip ..it work
[Nexus 6 Android Development] okibi:
You're welcome! I'm surprised that no one fixed that zip sooner. Strange. Anyway, feel free to share my fixed version!

I see in p7 he switched to Hell's Kernel. Will it still work if I flash the beta SuperSU w/o using Despair kernel?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jnclocker:
Seriously interested. Thank you for the hard work.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] edwardwong:
Here's how I did it :

0. Copy all the files into internal memory (you could use an OTG USB drive, but I worry it would come loose during the flashing process)

1. Boot into recovery (I used TWRP 2.8.6.0)

2. Flash the bootloader and radio (Ok to flash both together, queue them up)

3. Wipe dalvik/cache, reboot to system.

4. Reboot to recovery again.

5. Do a full factory reset.

6. Flash ROM

7. Don't reboot yet, go to Wipe and Format Data (all your data will be gone). Wipe dalvik and cache again if you like.

8. Reboot to system, Android M will be installed.

Whole process didn't take more than 5 minutes or so.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] toknitup420:
All I did was fastboot flash bootloader then reboot bootloader. Then boot to twrp and install ROM kernel and su. No need to wipe phone.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] aoaleman:
Thank you! This fixed it. :D
[Nexus 6 Android Development] okibi:
You're welcome!

Also, link is up for P8! My v4a fix is included in the new ROM.

So do I need to flash another kernel to flash SuperSU or what...?

Also, is this viper zip by jakeday an audio enhancement thing?

And are all of these like hotfixes only relevant to previous versions? Like the youtube fix is already baked into p8, right?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] elreydenj:
How do you access the equalizer in Google Music without a force close? How do you switch between fx and viper? Do you need to move the viper app? Thanks in advance. I have no experience prior with viper.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] aoaleman:
Delete the MusicFX folder in system, priv-app. Then reboot. That's what I do. V4A then takes over as default.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] elreydenj:
Is there a simple way to remove viper and use music FX if we were to want to? I deleted viper earlier and music FX still force closed.

I usually go into the system/priv-app/musicfx folder and copy the viper apk there.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] jason504:
I was only on it for about 2 hours and I noticed it big time in the beginning. Then after that it was still kinda slow.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] buckmarble:
Thermal throttling seems to kick in early also as the os generates a bit of heat on boot up. Considerably more than lp does. But this is to be expected with it being the first preview images from Google.

Yeah games are laggy for me too running the default kernel settings. I'll try to adjust them and see if it helps any.

EDIT: I changed the CPU Governor to "performance" from "conservative" in Kernel Aduitor, and that seemed to help slightly, but I'm sure battery life will take a hard hit as a result.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] i42o:
Flashed everything from op in the order described backed EVERYTHING up then formatted data (where you type yes) connected to adb and rebooted to boot loader .. Flashed and everything went fine... Booted and invalid verification screen came on but after a few seconds it booted. (Total time from initial adb flash to successful boot 4 minutes . I'm running the preview with no issues. No muted mics no reboots. It is solid.

If you're skeptical I would advise trying it

I formated my phone and had ran the same rom for about a month.

Trust me its worth it. Feels good.

And If anything you have your twrp back up you can restore to.

So what is the WORKING procedure for going about and flashing this ROM as i cant make heads or tails of this thread.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Rangizingo:
So it looks like the general consensus is not to flash the unsecure then? I'm halfway done downloading, just wondering. I've bricked my phone enough to know how to fix it, but I wouldn't mind avoiding it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Character Zero:
If you get stuck at password for TWRP. Manually flash the boot.img and system.img from the factory images. This got me back and data was there.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] jason1332:
My .02 is that while I am grateful for okibi putting this up I would go manual flash with vomers thread for now.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Rangizingo:
Hold on, so you flashed it and backed it up before first boot right? Then moved the backup to your PC, formatted and push it back and flashed? Seems convoluted, but I suppose if it works.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jason1332:
AVOID...YES
[Nexus 6 Android Development] minieod:
yeah, stupid me for not putting the 1.8gb system.img on my phone, and just the jdx zip

what kernel do i need to install? im letting the toolkit do its thing, then my plan was to just sideload all of the img files, and use vomers thread

thoughts?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mtsprite:
whats wrong with just using the stock image from google as well as the included install scripts?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jason1332:
That works... If it works... I had to pull the images out since the system.IMG was so large it failed the script. If the script works, awesome...if not pull it apart and do it yourself.

I believe you can go into Viper and uninstall the driver. Then make sure no settings are on in Viper. Reboot, then turn on MusicFX. I am not sure if this will work.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] DutchDogg54:
I did a full format of SD per OP's instructions & I've been seeing this problem. I've never adjusted my DPI. Occasionally, if I go back to the app list and re-enter the app and try the install button it will work. Sometimes I have to hit recents and swipe play store away and reopen for it to work. I've even had it require a reboot for it to work. I'd say about 50% of the time that button malfunctions.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] derekr44:
I've encountered something similar to this on all installs of M. I previously wrote it off as a Layer/Nova incompatibility.

When I tell the Play Store to install an app, the "Accept" dialog seems to pop up under the play store itself. I don't need to swipe anything away, just a quick switch to the recents will bring it to the top. Just seems like the dialogs aren't being brought to the front like they should. I haven't seen this on any other apps yet, though. Just the Play Store.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] DutchDogg54:
Yes, exactly this. I have seen the dialog appearing under the store...weird. I'm guessing it's something the big G will have to fix...but, I'm curious, anybody who's not running layers seeing this problem?
