Bam! I'll be flashing this M'fer when I gets off work!!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] stevew84:
Pretty sure we boot into download mode and double click "flash-all.bat".

manual adb installation steps added to op :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] riggsandroid:
fyi - image name shouldn't have hammerhead in it in OP instruction :)

Thanks for this thread, [MENTION=1363323]vomer[/MENTION] ?

[Nexus 6 Android Development] DaMyth:
hopefully a flashable zip will arrive soon so I can use this as a secondary rom....
[Nexus 6 Android Development] vomer:
ya i'm aware. updating on the go ;)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Rangizingo:
Agreed.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gee2012:
Nope, flash-all doesn`t work, extract the image and flash them seperately (img`s) in fastboot.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] vomer:
Working on it :) will need guinea pigs soon :p
[Nexus 6 Android Development] riggsandroid:
poeple will be like "but i dont have a hammerhead-boot.img WTF!!1!!!"

thanks for the thread.

I'd be happy to be a guinea pig, lol.

Another update for those who asked, Bluetooth works without issue
[Nexus 6 Android Development] JRJ442:
It's not rooted. Dees Troy said not to swipe to install SuperSU on M. That's what happened. You should have cancelled.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] vomer:
Working on flashable now based on Tasssadar's script.

Will be added shortly if all goes well :good:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] msponsler:
Flashed the preview, used the unencrypted flash file before boot... Everything is great! Need root though. Hopefully it'll come in the next day or two.

Sprint user here, I've noticed the *#*#3282#*#* doesn't seem to work right...no text is displayed.

Anyone else on other carriers having this problem?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] sn0warmy:
Once we get a fix for the verification error message at boot, for those of us who got it and can't seem to get rid of it, and Chainfire updates SuperSU, I'd say there is absolutely nothing stopping us from using this as a daily driver right off the bat.

Amazing!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] kuttor:
I was hoping for an updated kernel... but still 3.10. And, everyone was stoked about the features, whereas I wanted optimizations... better optimizations. Better RAM usage, less CPU cycles, garbage collection... etc. etc. So far, just traded greenify for Doze, and got a much better clip/paste, which is definitely needed. :) and :( at the same time.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] christopherrrg:
I've been running Dev preview all day, I followed regular fastboot procedure except at the end I rebooted into recovery(stock) and factory reset, wiped cache and dalvik.

Took ten minutes to boot up as per usual for lollipop clean flash (now lollipop+ Roms)

Working flawless here! Loving the preview!

Ok so i did everything according to the manual-guide and flash userdata.

But this time I did not swipe to install SU.

The verification error appeared again, but it booted anyways after that and everything went smoothly

Error flashing system.img

Is anyone else getting an error because of the size of the system.img when using

adb>fastboot flash system system.img ?

I get

Am I missing something here? Is there a way around this?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] saddler2kx:
Quick question I need to ask, so I flashed the android M preview using Nexus toolkit and I'm completely stock now.. Can I use the toolkit to root the device so I'm able to use rom toolbox to change the fonts...?

This seems like a daily driver for my without root though it has a slight lag with certain applications at first, now its running smooth for me..

[Nexus 6 Android Development] txtsd:
I want to know this too. Can the M radio be flashed on and used with 5.1.1?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TWong1200:
Yes, new boot loader and radio works on 5.1.1
[Nexus 6 Android Development] txtsd:
Can it be reverted if there's a problem?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] kenbrownstone:
Radio can I believe but don't think the boot loader can from some things I've read.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] txtsd:
Ok thanks. I'll only do the radio then.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] kenbrownstone:
The radio from M won't work without new boot loader ...It will make ur 5:1:1 ROMs not boot..At least it wouldn't with me....

Crap. I guess I won't be flashing the new radio T_T

So far only 95r has been working well for me. 98 and 100 spend more time without a signal than with.

has anybody flashed the flashable zip with radio and bootloader and then went back to cm12? i dont want what happened last time to happen again when ppl went from 5.1 to cm12 and they ended up bricking their device.

It seems no one has successfully tried it yet,
[Nexus 6 Android Development] puritan007:
Flash the old radio, r95, it will be fixed. Same happened here.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Skajewski:
Bricked?

Sorry to be such a noob here. Been flashing for years but just messed up. Got too excited and just wiped and flashed the "flashable" file in the OP. Phone wont boot. Now in bootloader mode, looking to reflash stock and such through WUGs toolkit. My PC won't recognize my N6... any help would be appreciated. Thank you guys so much.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] krazyflipj:
Stuck on Google black screen. Steps i did was flash radio, bootloader, boot into recovery, wipe, flash flashable rom. Am I doing this wrong?

[Nexus 6 Android Development] payazo915:
Just restored LYZ28E. Flashed bootloader and radio from LYZ28E and was able to downgrade the bootloader.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dirtyjersey856:
Might not work, but did you try ticking the "bricked" button when attempting a restore? I'm trying my hardest not to attempt anything until the process is a little less strenuous. Lol. Good luck though.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] billydroid:
In that case has anyone tried flashing the permissive zip first? https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B968x2wnipweUEl3R0xRTnFPUU0/edit?usp=docslist_api

---------- Post added at 02:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 AM ----------

I hate being that guy. You guys need to read or don't flash stuff.

The last step is doing a factory reset. That will cure your black screen. Unless you flashed super su.

The other guy who just flashed without reading anything and his pc won't recognized his phone. Idk dude that sucks. Someone else had that problem earlier in this thread. Read the thread and maybe you'll find help

---------- Post added at 02:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 AM ----------

This isn't hard. It's normal Fastboot flashing. These things are always the same. If you're not comfortable though then don't do it. You are making the right call.

Reading is everyone's friend. It will get you through.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mexiken:
Was able to flash TWRP right over recovery via Fastboot. Flashed the old unencrypt zip, then format userdata. All good, unencrypted.

For those who want no encryption after flashing manually:

- Flash TWRP in Fastboot

- Flash No Encrypt Zip

- fastboot format userdata (erase userdata loops you, I learned the hard way)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] aandrewalv:
Flashed radio and bootloader through adb and flashed ROM in twrp. Stuck on the black google screen for 25 minutes now, any solution? Factory reset didn't work, will try flashing manually. I'll update post to let you guys know

EDIT: Flashing manually works
[Nexus 6 Android Development] krazyflipj:
I ended up flashing manually
[Nexus 6 Android Development] salamandar:
Flashed manually, all seems to be working. Some slight hesitations during transitions but it is a dev preview after all.

Oddly enough I was all set to dive into multirom so I could retain my Wifi Calling when surprise surprise, the latest radio and M in general apparently supports T-Mobile Wifi calling! Happy camper here! Now I just need root!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] sookieball:
My speakers crack while playing music/video...

But running great. WiFi kept saying 'connected, no internet' but its working now.

My data is blazing faster. Verizon BTW.

Report back if I find more bugs.

Camera with flash doesn't save the pic with the flash.... Lol

Can't post the pic for idk what reason but....

Edit: never mind, works fine.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] suku_patel_22:
I wiped data, system , cache in TWRP and then proceeded to flash bootloader and radio, followed by system, recovery, boot and cache.

It is running fine here, and is so much more smoother than lollipop, enven with enryption turned on.

I have only one issue, that I get that warning message on bootup after the google logo. Not sure why i am getting it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] brizey:
I have went back to lollipop for those that were asking.

I am back on Benzo.

M bootloader seems to cause no issues. I went back to the latest international radio because VoLTE was not working. But other than that, it works.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MentalDragon:
Thanks for the assistance. I found that we could use Wug's tool to flash. Worked like a charm.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] lichti1901:
Is "Thanks for this thread" more useful as "First? :confused:

Both Reply´s shoudnt be posted in an developement thread.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] jawmail:
Flashed M preview and played with it for a while. Got a few weird issues so went back to Chroma. Didn't go back to .98 radio or downgrade the bootloader and everything still works fine now except Volte seems broken on new radio and 5-27 Chroma which is not surprising.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] brizey:
Yeah, got the same thing. Bootloader seems fine, which is good because I clinch a little every time I flash a new bootloader, lol. Would just as soon not go back and forth. I am guessing, though, that the wifi calling radios (seems like they are hyrbids with separate wifi and cell modems judging by the file names) will soon work with r4 AOSP ROMs. I know xanaxdroid is working on it. I think both he and Zephik are on T-Mobile, so we have devs with a vested interest in getting to to work :highfive:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] vomer:

[Nexus 6 Android Development] slider112:
vomer, thanks so much for putting this together. Days like these make owning a Nexus even sweeter than usual :good:

Sorry if I may have missed this; is it necessary to flash the new bootloader and radio img files before flashing the rom zip through TWRP? I'm on the 5.1.1 bootloader and 95R radio. Better yet, Is there a flashable zip for both the bootloader/radio that I've missed somewhere? Trying to get my ducks in a row. Thanks in advance.

Does [MENTION=1363323]vomer[/MENTION] M zip force encryption, if it does can we use noforceencrypt zip to remain unencrypted. Also has anyone flashed Vomer's zip and then gone to an older backup of another 5.1.1 rom while still on M radio and bootloader. So many ? :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] force70:
It does force encrypt.

That and your other questions are easily answered by giving the thread a quick read through :thumbup:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] 530farm:
So does the new flashable in the OP include the bootloader? Instructions state to only flash rom then radio.

Also, has anyone flashed the new bootloader/radio and then flashed back to a 5.1.1 rom w/out issue on the same M bootloader/radio? Know there was some bricking issues when going back from 5.1 to 5.0.1.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] skhjpz:
You can flash force no encryption zip, I believe it's on 11 page and I can confirm it works on vomer build
[Nexus 6 Android Development] billydroid:
Someone earlier in thread thread said they flashed back without issue on the new radio and boot loader.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] elreydenj:
I want to say the warning is there because we are using twrp recovery??? I believe everyone who flashed the factory images has this warning no? Maybe we can get some confirmation.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] ohad129:
What about compitability like we chat and QQI its not working?

What about SU i want to root it please
[Nexus 6 Android Development] msponsler:
4636 does work, but 3282 gives you more granular control of things. I have my MSL, so I can switch on and off certain LTE bands and change their priority.

In my area, band 26 (800mhz) LTE for sprint only gets me about 4mb down/4mb up. Band 25 (1900mhz) gives me 25mb down/10mb up. I have only been able to connect to band 26 since M preview. (LTE discovery app).
[Nexus 6 Android Development] sn0warmy:
I imagine a fix will be available soon. It seems that those who flashed the no-encrypt boot right off the bat, were able to dodge the verification warning. However, those of us who flashed the factory boot image and then tried to go back and use the no-encrypt boot still get the error. I tried a 100% full wipe and then full phone format and flashing the Fastboot files with the no-encrypt boot and the warning is still there.

So strange. But, I'm very happy that that is the only problem I am running into. This is by far the most full functioning "Preview" build I have ever flashed.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] drgonzo712:
Hey guys. How long does it stay on the black Google Screen before booting?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] sn0warmy:
Not long. If it is stuck at the black screen, reboot back into recovery and do a factory reset and reboot.

If that doesn't work then you probably allowed TWRP to install Supersu, which you were not supposed to do.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ilpolpi65:
It could be connected with this ? :

https://source.android.com/devices/tech/security/verifiedboot/verified-boot.html
[Nexus 6 Android Development] drgonzo712:
Thanks. I told it not to install SU I wiped everything except for system and still stuck on the Black Google Screen.

Below is what I did:

Wiped System, data, dalvik and cache

Flashed Zip from OP in TWRP

Flashed Radio in Bootloader with Fastboot

Factory Reset

Reboot

What did I do wrong here?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] icrzymonkey:
Can someone, please post the flashable, so were else... Im not able to download the file. at work :(
[Nexus 6 Android Development] sn0warmy:
It looks like that is exactly the cause. I'm reading through to try and disable it using fastboot commands but haven't discovered the solution just yet.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] skhjpz:
First page :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] atcchris:
So, that's interesting? I am unfamiliar with the fastboot command "flashing unlock" or lock. Does anyone know how it is different from/compares with "oem unlock?" And could having an unlocked bootloader potentially be why we're seeing the error? Apparently though, verified boot has been around since at least 4.4, so why wouldn't we all see it before now if we've been running with OEM unlock?

The main problem here is not that it seems to make anything not work, but what if you have to turn in your phone for a warranty repair? Will they not claim the warranty is void because you tampered with the phone?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] sn0warmy:
Hm, I haven't tried flashing the zip file so I really can't help you there.

However, If I were you, I would just use fastboot commands to push the factory image instead. If you don't know how to use Fastboot commands to flash a factory image, this is an excellent time to learn. Once you learn it you'll laugh at how simple it really is and it's the absolute most full proof way to install a stock ROM on your phone.

The full instructions for this are in the lower portion of the OP. Take a gander and give it a shot. If you ask me, knowing how to do this should be 100% mandatory for anyone who messes with rooting/installing custom ROMs and kernels on their phones.

---------- Post added at 09:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 AM ----------

Yeah, I read through the info in that link as well and came across the "flashing lock" and "flashing unlock" commands. I had never seen them before and decided to give them a shot because, why not? They did nothing. The commands were not recognized. However, if we can figure out the working equivalent to those commands, it appears that it may be the solution to turning that verification message off...

I tried relocking the bootloader from within Settings but the message still appears.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] krazyflipj:
Wouldn't you want to flash back to stock if you wanna turn in your phone for warranty repair?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] atcchris:
Yeah, the issue sticks around. Apparently even after flashing back to stock it is still happening. At least that is what I have gathered from reading around here and other websites.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jamezr:
This should be a stickie and a mandatory read before flashing anything.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] imablackhat:
this is for encrypted only right?
