How to turn off wifi can always be on for location purposes?

Thanks?
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
Okay people, all I did was flash system and radio (then got a little worried that it didn't boot) but stayed calm, put it back in recovery/fastboot (stock) and flashed the new boot/kernal img from the factory file and I booted up fine, it's upgrading apps as we speak.

so in this order is what I personally did

1. flash radio

2. flash system

3. turn off, boot into recovery

4. flash boot

I have no idea if flashing the boot prior will still let lollipop boot up so it's not my fault if you do so:good::good:

So the answer is yes, you can use this method to still do an update and not lose data and be faster then the carriers any day:laugh:
[Nexus 6  General] BootsSiR:
Damn typo. Thanks [MENTION=4146400]Powereh[/MENTION]

[MENTION=3701124]A2CKilla[/MENTION] going to flash as soon as my backup completes :)
[Nexus 6  General] Powereh:
Not a problem,

Updating at the moment, I tried the boot217.img i used before & that was a no go :)
[Nexus 6  General] iRub1Out:
...what?
[Nexus 6  General] Joe92T:
Ok guys, throw me a bone here.

Right now i have an unlocked bootloader, but i am on stock Rom, Not even Rooted.

Ive unzipped the file down to the individual folders and files inside.

If i dont want to lose anything, and want it to be "OTA Like" - I would do the following?

Boot into Bootloader, open up ABD / Fastboot in Cmd Prompt

Fastboot Flash

Cache.img

boot.img

recovery.img

system.img

bootloader-shamu-moto-apq8084-71.15.img

reboot, all good?

I think that would be everything other then userdata... what would i be missing from 6.0 by not flashing userdata?
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
I posted it a page back :D but flashing userdata basically wipes it clean, so you'll be missing a clean 6.0. All I flashed was system, boot.img, and radio, nothing else. Then I'll go back and temp boot TWRP to clear out my cache partition and call it a day
[Nexus 6  General] BootsSiR:
Why not flash the bootloader first?
[Nexus 6  General] Joe92T:
Good catch on the radio,

so ill also fastboot flash radio radio-shamu-d4.01-9625-05.27+fsg-9625-02.104

I figured Cache was probobly not needed, what about the updated Bootloader Img?
[Nexus 6  General] Chahk:
Don't be like me! I forgot to adb pull the TWRP backup to my computer before starting fresh, so now I can only roll back to Lollipop from 2 months ago. /cry
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
It's official people, google has finally ended google wallet as of 6.0, it's making me upgrade to android pay to use tap and pay :( well, it was fun while it lasted
[Nexus 6  General] Custodian:
....When has Custodian ever lied about anything on these here forums?! Now enjoy official 6.0.
[Nexus 6  General] MikeyNick:
Tried flashing the super su 2.49 beta using twrp 2.8.7.1 and i get no boot :( This is after flashing everything from the factory image (including userdata). the patience continues
[Nexus 6  General] integraGSR:
Flash stock/Unroot in NRT worked for me.

[Nexus 6  General] djkinetic:
Try flashing a custom kernel, then root.
[Nexus 6  General] iRub1Out:
I don't see a M version of that kernel
[Nexus 6  General] MikeyNick:
There's an M3 version that works - hC-b6.1-M3

I installed that and SuperSU and i now have root. I tried installing the Despair kernel for M preview but that one didn't seem to want to boot

How do I do this if I have a completely stock phone? not even unlocked bootloader, phone is only a couple days old so i don't care about it being a clean wipe
[Nexus 6  General] suku_patel_22:
Pretty simple. Just taking a TWRP backup before i go through my old steps. Been doing this since a long time with no issues whatsoever.

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-shamu-moto-apq8084-71.15.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-shamu-d4.01-9625-05.27+fsg-9625-02.104.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot
[Nexus 6  General] djkinetic:
U need an unlocked bootloader to even flash the factory image.

Root works on custom kernels just tried myself.
[Nexus 6  General] suku_patel_22:
adb reboot bootloader

fastboot oem unlock

then the step that i mentioned above.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Thanks. works
[Nexus 6  General] galza:
Any chance someone will make a rooted twrp flashable zip? That would be awsome..i know the image just got out today so ill think i wait for easy instalation steps
[Nexus 6  General] iRub1Out:
There's guides to flash the images .

[Nexus 6  General] MikeyNick:
Did they remove support for Layers in the final build? :( I installed layer manager and tried installing a dark layers theme but it's not sticking. Going to be super sad if this is the case, since it was reported to have worked in the preview builds...
[Nexus 6  General] djkinetic:
One thing i hate, is flashing any custom kernel gives u that dumb corrupted system message at boot.
[Nexus 6  General] suku_patel_22:
I guess custom kernels can get rid of it.
[Nexus 6  General] djkinetic:
Layers themes not working for me as well.

Im on the xtrasmooth rom preview 3 based.how can i update to official 6 and stay with data and rooted?

Thanks
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
Anyone successfully root after 6.0? I tried to do the usual with wugfresh, phone wouldn't boot, had to flash system.img again to get it going. I don't mind a manual method, use to do that back in the day, just like being lazy :p
[Nexus 6  General] iRub1Out:
No.
[Nexus 6  General] djkinetic:
Yes but you have to flash this kernel http://hc-kernel.blogspot.com/2015/10/n6-b122-b62-m3.html
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
Thanks, I'll wait though, never liked flashing new kernals when I got the nexus. The drawback to being on the bleeding edge!!!! lol
[Nexus 6  General] suku_patel_22:
Actually, running stock is far from bleeding edge. Nothing wrong with running stock though.
[Nexus 6  General] Poojan Patel:
can anybody give me radio and bootloader for 6.0??

wondering why there is no radio and bootloader in zip which i downloaded...
[Nexus 6  General] freesoul27:
thanks it worked
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
are you sure you unzipped correctly? I use 7-zip personally and the files are always there.

---------- Post added at 02:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 PM ----------

Well, bleeding edge as far as OS versions before anyone else
[Nexus 6  General] Poojan Patel:
my bad. Something is wrong with winrar. downloaded 7zip and now its showing all files.
[Nexus 6  General] phoenixus:
About to flash the stock image but before I do I need to verify something.

I currently have a pin lockscreen. Should I disable that first? I'm going to have to factory reset to unlock my bootloader before I can flash 6.0, but I'm not sure how device protection stuff affects that.
[Nexus 6  General] iRub1Out:
nope, just do your thing and it will work.
[Nexus 6  General] miticogirl:
quick question, is multiwindow available in 6.0 ?
[Nexus 6  General] istperson:
Bootloader is bit for bit as was in Preview 3. The radio is new, and boot.img is also. It has a new kernel, but I'll just flash mine. Its almost stock but for the one line changed.
[Nexus 6  General] Larzzzz82:
Did Google incorporate shifting the soft buttons to either side to make using one hand easier?
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
they took it out :( there's a lot from the preview they took out in final release
[Nexus 6  General] miticogirl:
What an idiots -.-
[Nexus 6  General] SymbioticGenius:
Tried this, which I normally do, and have done in the past even on my moto X. This time for some reason my apps all crash. I did a factory reset in TWRP which everything worked fine, then I went back and restored data and everything is crashing again. I'm coming from Preview 3 which I flashed the same way.

Could it be the bootloader and if I flash it will it lock and wipe my phone? (I'm still encrypted)
[Nexus 6  General] szkorhetz:
Radio signal seems to be much worse than in Lolli....
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
hmmm, not sure, I was coming from stock but rooted 5.1.1 build M if that helps. I didn't touch my bootloader and that's been unlocked since the phone was released and still is since every update that has come out.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
So their idiots because they took out a half baked feature ? lol come on people, this release isnt just for geeks, remember that.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
Google does not understand why users want to root and customize Nexus devices. Because everything is already perfect.
[Nexus 6  General] konfidential:
Flashed....now waiting for next update... 6.0.1 Lol
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
Why? Do you expect differences?
[Nexus 6  General] inSaN1Ty_X:
Okay, so root works. The full /system partition is a pain in the a.. Adaway required a pretty trick to get working. Next up going to try Viper4Android. Seems like everything needs to be flashable zips. Them stock apps are unable to be removed with any uninstaller app, so /system is pretty much full all the time.
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
If it was we wouldn't root....I personally root for a few apps and being able to change things at a system level like dpi, the stock 560 is horrid, I use 480 and that's perfect for this size device, I mean even the stock dpi for the panel is 493 but Google thinks 560 is best when it's not
[Nexus 6  General] Flying_Hellfish:
How did you get adaway going? Did you have to put a symlink in via adb?
[Nexus 6  General] inSaN1Ty_X:
Yeah, symlink via Twrp.
[Nexus 6  General] treezy26:
Can I use a toolkit to flash this? I want to be completely stock for awhile...
[Nexus 6  General] kidhudi:

[Nexus 6  General] djkinetic:
You can flash this to create the symlink as well: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3259884&d=1428921133
[Nexus 6  General] Flying_Hellfish:
Awesome, thanks. This should hold me over for a bit until (not holding my breath) we get r/w.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
Because Google make things always perfect you must be wrong.

To make it clear a comparison with the railroad.

Trains are always on schedule, but there are so many delays because the travelers are too slow when going on or off the train. There are even super slow travelers carrying luggage.
[Nexus 6  General] Lightshield:
I'm rooted with SuperSU 2.49 and the Hellscore kernel... however, I'm trying to edit the build.prop and keep getting an error. Apparently it's write-protected, even with Root. Any ideas how I can get around it to edit the build.prop?
[Nexus 6  General] treezy26:
Oh and has anyone on Tmo flashed this yet seeing as Tmo stated their updates will come later this week? Wifi calling and what not working if so?
[Nexus 6  General] Powell730:
I just did (without flashing userdata.img or recovery.img), coming from M3 Preview... Apps are currently updating. I will report back once it's done.
[Nexus 6  General] loggainsd:
Me too. Trying to edit for tethering. If someone solves and could let me know that would be great.
[Nexus 6  General] thecarp1975:
I copied it to my computer and edited it with notepad, then booted into TWRP and placed it in the system folder. Don't forget to set permissions, rw-r--r--.
[Nexus 6  General] bigup7:
Is Doze mode automatically enabled? Or do I have to switch it on?
[Nexus 6  General] Lightshield:
That worked [MENTION=4579767]thecarp1975[/MENTION]! Thank you very much. :)
[Nexus 6  General] SymbioticGenius:
For some reason no matter how many times I wiped and reflashed I couldn't stop my apps from all force closing. I even tried fixing permissions lol. Oh well, I had to factory reset, now it works and I'm rooted with the same LeanKernel for Preview 3. GL to the rest of you.
[Nexus 6  General] Powell730:
had the same problem... just ended up factory resetting.. im restoring now.
[Nexus 6  General] iainaaldrich:
How's this running for everyone, any noticeable difference from preview 3? Is is the same radio r24 from preview 3 or a different one? Same bootloader?
[Nexus 6  General] SlowIce:
For some reason the home button (circle) does not work anymore. i found this tip:

https://www.virag.si/2015/08/home-button-not-working-after-flashing-to-android-marshmallow/

But the file does not exist on the final Marshmallow version... Do i really have to do a factory reset?
[Nexus 6  General] Luke2508:
I think they must have removed it, probably so it doesn't cause confusion/conflict with Google now on tap.

Kinda sucks as I used that all the time :/
[Nexus 6  General] infamousjax:
yewwww... apps are being optimized as I type this... held off on the developer preview, so excited for my first taste of marshmallow :D

how do you access google now? Swipe up from home button doesn't work. I have to hold for google on tap and then hit the google icon.

[Nexus 6  General] MG386:

In running this kernel, root was fine but still my /system partition is read only
[Nexus 6  General] manup456:
If your not looking for a custom feel and running stock Android did it's thing with this.
[Nexus 6  General] Highway 55:
Specific edits need to be made to the ramdisk to enable RW in /system. Most custom kernels use Any Kernel which doesn't replace the ramdisk of the current kernel.

So you need to either wait for a stock decrypted kernel, or use one of the few custom ones that replace the ramdisk with their own.
[Nexus 6  General] Caseyk621:
I was unable to restore a Nandroid of stock 6.0 via TWRP. Just went from the corrupted phone message to a black screen...wouldn't boot. Anyone else have successful restore or a failure?

I'm using the stock unencrypted boot.img and am unencrypted - are you saying that I shouldn't have to do anything else to get root in order for AdAway to work? Other than flashing twrp and whichever the correct su.zip is? Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6  General] Slick52:
Why can't I get any layers to work? On both the previews and official builds I've never found a set of layers that worked on stock Marshmallow.
[Nexus 6  General] Highway 55:
Theoretically yes. Reality I don't know. In M3 I tried doing that exact thing but it bootlooped after flashing SSU. It was easily corrected after flashing a custom kernel and SSU again.

So to be safe keep a custom kernel on your SDcard if you try it.
[Nexus 6  General] patmw123:
I'll probably just wait for a way to do it without changing kernels again. I'd like to try the stock (unencrypted) kernel for at least a little while after flashing the new Marshmallow images - so I'll just be patient. Thanks for the clarification though.

I manually flashed this earlier and did each step manually instead of using the flash all script.

But, i forgot to flash cache.img. I did do the cache erase command though. Is this is big deal? Do I need to redo everything?
[Nexus 6  General] SymbioticGenius:
I have no clue why this isn't working for me. I even went back to Google launcher, nothing. I doubt it's cause I'm not on stock kernel but maybe?

[Nexus 6  General] atcchris:
This is all pretty awesome! I really appreciate the time everyone has taken to post their experiences so far.

However, can anyone give a real answer to the question we've seen a few times; If you flash the factory image for M Dev Preview, will it be possible to flash back to a factory image for 5.1.1? There is some speculation that you will not be able to, and will brick your phone, because of the bootloader being upgraded and not able to to downgrade to work with older factory images.

Thanks in advance to anyone that can provide information! Especially if you've TRIED this on your own Nexus 6 and confirmed it.
[Nexus 6  General] saddler2kx:
I've used the Nexus toolkit and was able to flash 5.1.1 (T mobile E Bulid) to be complete stock before using the toolkit again to flash android M I'm using now.. (actually did this twice and both times it was fine)
[Nexus 6  General] md1008:
Very possible, remember that Android One has SD Cards, but that's because they have so little storage that they need it.

If a Nexus were to ever have SD card again I wouldn't be surprised if it was proprietary.

Then again Google has always allowed other OEM's to have SD cards even on Kit Kat
[Nexus 6  General] indianajonze:
when you're flashing the 5.1.1 factory image, aren't you flashing the bootloader as well? so regardless of whatever comes with M, when you flash a new image you flash that image's bootloader. unless you're lazy and dirty flash, but only fools do that
[Nexus 6  General] md1008:
Same Camera app however I find that the camera is much more responsive, quicker and easier to focus. Is it on par with Samsung or HTC camera app? No, but I do think Android M is focusing on Camera
[Nexus 6  General] xciton:

Another cool feature is cellular data always active. Would be nice if Google implemented turbo boost or what ever it's called basically it uses 4G in combination with WiFi to increase speed.

This is pretty common occurrence, you need to do a factory reset to get all your storage back unfortunately..... Someone correct me if I'm wrong
[Nexus 6  General] jamezr:
Maybe Android M is reporting it wrong? It is a preview image after all. Maybe flash back to the stock image and see how it reports then?
[Nexus 6  General] xciton:
Yup, re-read the posts and found the smaller SD card was reported a few pages back. Did a format and all is good.
[Nexus 6  General] Lemagex:
To clarify, tested and used this, there's no system RW at all on that image. There's also some other features under "Features" missing because he no doubt does not update the feature section (Eg: Multi-window...)
[Nexus 6  General] jamexman:
Is M an unified image or we are still going to get different images for each carrier?
[Nexus 6  General] phoenixus:
Posting for the new page:

I ran fastboot erase cache earlier when i flashed the factory image, but forgot to run fastboot flash cache cache.img

Is that going to cause any type of issue?

Are you noticing any issues? Any crashes?

It's basically a dirty flash I been doing it my whole life until today when M told me to go F myself. If you're running fine I wouldn't worry about it

Haven't noticed any issues yet. How can it leave stuff behind in cache though if you do the erase command followed by the factory reset command?
