Sits on Google. I wipe everything but internal. Guess it just isn't going to happen. I've tried so many times. Thanks for trying to help.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
one more time, for me please. if you haven't flashed the bootloader, flash it first. reboot after. then go back and flash the ROM in twrp. reboot again. then GI back and flash despair 2.4 kernel and SuperSU 2.49. and reboot once again. I have a feeling you'll be lucky this time.. seriously :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] michmeister:
OK. For you I will try.:)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] elborak:
This is what you want.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] casonswag:
Hells kernel seems more smoother i like it
[Nexus 6 Android Development] derekr44:
He's right. The reboots between the flashes matter. Happened to me the first couple times around.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
I think elite also has a m kernel now. but that doesnt matter, what matters is that a m kernel with SuperSU is the only way to get root :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] stumpy352:
My friend, I appreciate the advice, but if I had a computer nearby, would I have gone to the trouble of buying USB storage to back up with?

I'm away from home for work for the week & just wanted to try it. Can't find any reason why the flashables won't boot. Especially with a squeaky clean install.

Normally I would just fastboot, but just impatient I suppose.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
if flashing the twrp flashable.. flash the new bootloader first, boot up. then go back and flash the ROM, boot up again. then go back and flash a m kernel and SuperSU 2.49, and boot up one last time. do it in this order, and with the booting up included.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] stumpy352:
Yes, I have flashed the bl first.

Yes, I have rebooted.

Yes, I have wiped, flashed ROM, wiped again.

And it will not boot.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
I never said to wipe anything :silly:

but, if need be, wipe data after booting after flashing the kernel and supersu. also, I'd redownload the flashable ROM, just in case.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] guitarshredder87:
Okay I am getting slightly confused. I have wiped and formatted all data. I installed the BL. Rebooted. Installed the radios. Rebooted. Installed the Rom. Rebooted. Installed Despair Kernel 2.7. Reboot system. I am stuck on the Google screen.

Any help and suggestions are welcomed.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] michmeister:
I can't understand why it only works for a few even though we are doing same steps
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
despair is on 2.7 now? it might be a bad update? I'm using version 2.4 on despair, try that kernel instead.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] metallized:
I'm on benjorom.. Flashed bootloader and radio with twrp.. Flashed this M as a secondary ROM with multirom to try it out.. Everything worked perfectly.. I still have this M as a secondary ROM only coz we don't have root yet or isn't working on every apps....
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
root works on every app except titanium backup, for me. but its titanium that needs an update, to work on m.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] guitarshredder87:
I figured it had to be something with flashing via recovery. I wiped my phone completely and installed via fastboot. It has booted now.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] michmeister:
Thanks. I needed one. I just ordered.

---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:08 PM ----------

The flash order in the op says flash Rom first then boot loader. That should be edited.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] casonswag:
No it.dont im using titanium backup just fine on M u have to format data on your phone that wipe Everything so backup your saved files thats the only to get it to work on M for now
[Nexus 6 Android Development] CompSCI:
Just to throw this out there...

I also was unsuccessful after several attempts to get preview M to boot with flashing via recovery... Tried all sequences outlined in this thread including reboots, etc...

Was successful via fastboot install... no problems...

...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] michmeister:
By fastbboot do you mean with phone plugged into a PC?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] stumpy352:
I finally managed to get M running, after many failed attempts using the zip in this thread, I flashed the recovery flashable fastboot files from here...

Worked like a charm. ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] exphryl:
I can't seem to get past the failed verification on boot-up. I initially did the manual instructions on the first post just fine, but upon boot-up it hangs at that message. Looking at a previous post they recommended using the stock recovery and then performing a factory reset through that to fix it. However, it didn't fix it for me.

Not sure where to go from here.

Edit: I followed another suggested method here and got it working: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/development/how-to-flash-android-m-preview-wiping-t3120999

The Boot Verification error message still shows up on bootup,but otherwise seems to be working fine.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jodvova:
M is so damn stable, its not a preview, its a release.

The only issue I have is Chrome beta. Occasionally it lags when pressing show tabs button and just in general a bit slow to switch things around.

Apart from that M is flawless.

If you want to restore a Nandroid can you?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
yes, I have many times now(gone back and forth). make a new nandroid as well :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] michmeister:
Thank you do much for all your help. Those new files did it. But your instructions were key. Only issue I have is it encrypted me. Is there easy way to decrypt?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] imablackhat:
Once Snapchat works with M and doesn't flip pictures I'll flash back :/
[Nexus 6 Android Development] The Race To Die:
Depends on your definition of easy. Wiping internal storage is the only way I know to decrypt.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] michmeister:
That's what I was afraid of.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] stumpy352:
Yeah, I moved my twrp folder to USB storage before formatting data, so I can move it back to restore. But if you used the recovery flashable files from the other thread, you don't need to wipe internal storage, so your nandroid will still be there.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NeCr0mStR:
Go back to Lollipop?

Do I revert to a previous bootloader to go back to 5.1.1 or should I just flash the radio back and call it a day?

I wasn't sure if you can downgrade bootloaders, but I read previously not to.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] billydroid:
In have the m boot and radio on cm12.1 and all is good.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] stumpy352:
No need to downgrade boot loader or radio.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] michmeister:
Is there anyway to avoid encryption when flashing the m files?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
flash a m kernel that doesnt force encryption with it, before booting up.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] stumpy352:
Except you need to boot first for android to build before you can flash a kernel? Unless there is a stock M kernel out there with just the encryption flag changed.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
there is
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ANDR01DN00B:
Hey guys is there any way I can remove the text that appears on my screen on boot that says "Device id verification has failed" or something like that? It appears then there is no boot animation and I hear that the other custom ROM has it disabled but I would like to try this stock ROM. BTW I did search the thread, but there's no saying that I missed something.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
I got rid of it by booting into stock recovery and doing a factory reset
[Nexus 6 Android Development] michmeister:
Your right it flashed okay the rom and kernel, but I couldn't get past the verification warning screen.

---------- Post added at 05:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 PM ----------

I used hells kennel is there a different one that Doesnt force encryption
[Nexus 6 Android Development] stumpy352:
Despair doesn't force encryption.

Be careful though. If your using the recovery fastboot files from the other thread, The entire system is built at boot.(which is why you get the"no os is installed" warning when you boot). You have to boot the ROM before flashing anything else.

Backup your internal storage.

Flash ROM, reboot.

Boot recovery

Format data (not wipe, format)

Flash kernel

Flash au

Reboot

Restore your internal storage.

And you should be unencrypted.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ANDR01DN00B:
Does that wipe the sdcard? Thanks.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] klima:
Sorry for stupid question but, if I install this rom with multirom, I need also install bootloader and radio? So new bootloader and new radio work with older roms?

Thanks in advance...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ggreenwood334:
I did not. Just flashed the ROM as a secondary. No SU. Booted up in 3 min.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] michmeister:
I'm confused. I got this up and running in multrom as secondary ROM. But I'm not rooted even though I'm rooted in my primary ROM. Do I have to root again.

---------- Post added at 07:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:27 PM ----------

I can't find a super u zip.

Edit found zip.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Pilz:
Yes you will need to flash supersu to your secondary ROM unless it's prerooted which in your case it's not.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fuzzybuffalo:
Yepper, just added this as a secondary in MultiROM.

Flashed zip, booted, went back to TWRP and flashed hellscore M kernel and SuperSU 2.49, rebooted and have root.

For ad-blocking purposes, may I suggest Mother of All AD-BLOCKING? It's got well over 900,000 (insert DBZ pun here) entries in its database and works awesomely. Lags a bit at first startup but smooths out pretty quick. Flashes with CWM and TWRP and is updated fairly often.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mattwheat:
I'm already loving it. I've got a Nexus 7 (2013) and its pretty much just like it. As far as software, multirom, etc.

Yeah picked it up yesterday and unlocked the BL and root, and multirom by the time i got home. Been running this M preview today and its buttery smooth. I get hang ups when in the play store and I click the "X" to stop download/update on an apk that's downloading or updating. Not a freeze but just hangs up for about 5 secs or so. But other than that its smooth for me. I've got it on a sec slot in multirom. Had none of the issues booting that I've read about. I really like that it has a "Dark UI" switch in the Dev options. I hope the CM- version is gonna be like the floor # buttons In an elevator and skip "13". Lol
[Nexus 6 Android Development] CompSCI:
Yes...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] limen123:
About to flash this onto my N6. Just to be sure, this is the process, correct?

Wipe system, data, dalvik, cache

Flash radio and bootloader and reboot

Flash ROM and reboot

Flash kernel and SuperSU and reboot

Profit?

Also, would I be able to restore data from a backup or not, since this is jumping from different versions of Android? Thanks in advanced!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] loudog3114:
How long should I be on the google boot screen for? Been stuck on it at least 5 minutes...

flashed radio/bootloader

Rebooted into recovery

flashed rom

rebooted into recovery

flashed hellscore

flashed supersu from twrp

rebooted...

Edit: its obviously hung. rebooted a couple more times, no dice... flashed the package straight from googs.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Nacho~:
I had the same issue. I ended up having to flash bootloader/radio in twrp, then use adb on my computer to flash the system.img and boot.img, then flash the rom zip, kernel, and super SU 2.49 through twrp. Everything worked fine after that.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fuzzybuffalo:
Since you have already flashed radio/bootloader.

Do a clean wipe, flash ROM.

Boot ROM, I just booted to the first screen, where you pick your language.

Reboot to TWRP and flash hellscore and supersu.

Worked for me.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mattwheat:
I didnt have any problem. Good job on the flashable M. I rebooted to TWRP Multirom, then went to "add ROM". Then flashed M bootloader first then backed out to main screen went back in to " list ROMs" and picked the one called MPZ44Q-Shamu_bootloader. (Since that was the first thing I flashed). Then I clicked "add zip" and flashed the new radio then went back to "add zip" again then flashed your preview build of "M". Then rebooted and selected it in the initial multi boot screen and it took 3 mins maybe to boot. No issues. Runs great. Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Ep3n3wp:
Tried flashing everything thru twrp but was unsuccessful.... Kept hanging and never booted up (waited up to 10 mins)

I followed directs in OP, then tried like others stated booting in between or rebooting recovery and kept hanging... Any insight or suggestions?

Thanks

How's everyone liking it so far ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] flo7002:
So I initially tried flashing as per the original instructions, but it hung at the Google logo. I then downloaded the stock image and followed the adb commands and got it to boot up. I then tried to follow the above advice. I rebooted into TWRP, did a wipe, flashed the ROM, but just says device verification failed and turns off... Not sure what I'm not doing right.

After I get boot into the stock M preview, what are the exact steps I should follow? Thx for any help.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
I don't think it is compatible with TWRP as of now. If you really need TWRP, you need to flash a different kernel.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] sn0warmy:
I'm in the same boat. I can fastboot flash the factory images with no issue and everything works. I then go back and flash Hells-Core and SuperSU. When I reboot it will boot into the system just fine. However, flashing Hells-Core and SuperSU doesn't eliminate the failed verification message, for some reason. I thought it was supposed to, am I wrong?

I really want this message gone so I decided to perform a full reset (format data and everything) in TWRP. I then flash the ROM zip file from the OP and try to boot but it gets to the failed verification message and then just shuts off. I tried formatting data and rebooting but that ends up with the same outcome.

I have no issues installing the JDX 1.0 'M' ROM and it boots up just fine with no failed verification message. I just don't get why installing this version of the Android M preview, without the failed verification message, is so freaking difficult. I'm seriously stumped here...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ilpolpi65:
Elite Kernel solved for me the verification message
[Nexus 6 Android Development] sn0warmy:
Did you install it during the factory image flashing process or did you just install the kernel later in TWRP and it solved your problem?

EDIT: Flashed the factory images via fastboot, booted up the phone and went through initial setup. Rebooted into recovery and flashed Elite kernel and SuperSU and the message is gone. All is right in the world again.

Thanks!

[Nexus 6 Android Development] sn0warmy:
Has anyone been able to successfully change DPI within the build.prop? I've tried using Root Explorer to change it but after a reboot it resorts back to 560.

I also tried running the ADB command to change it:

adb shell wm density 493 && adb reboot

But doing it this way doesn't actually change the screen density to 493 in the build.prop and it makes some of my crucial apps (such as Google Photos) act wonky with VERY tiny and unreadable images/text.

Does the flashable ZIP version affords to wipe the internal SD-Card partition when coming from another Custom ROM?

Yeah, I tried desperately to make the M preview work as a daily driver, but in the end I just couldn't. I was getting too much lag for standard use, and little things just seemed to randomly crash/stop working here and there. Don't get me wrong, it is far and away the most stable preview build I've seen Google release, especially when you consider that it is just the first revision. But, in the end, it is just a preview build when all is said and done.

Plus, there just aren't enough new features for me to really justify the full jump from 5.1.1 just yet. Once it is 100% stable I'll make the switch.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] suku_patel_22:
