Stuff I usually pick. Sweep to wake, enable fastcharge, turn of sweep to sleep and leave everythign else stock.

Did you see my edit request above?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] liam_davenport:
Now booting with SuperSU flashed :D I disabled sweep to wake/sleep with try with enabled and yeap here you go :p
[Nexus 6 Android Development] danarama:
Many thanks. preview 2 loops too. Errors about vold and mountservice. Can only assume it is not flashing properly.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] liam_davenport:
No problem :good: hmm not tried flar's kernel on preview 2 but have you got a log after instalation to see if it's flashing correctly?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] danarama:
It's fastboot flashing with no errors. Just testing your fastboot too.

Had a browse via recovery and everything looks fine in System partition. I flashed preview 3 Bootloader, so I may try preview 1 bootloader next if it doesnt boot.

Edit > Your fastboot, logcat on preview 3 same errors as last time...

Test bootloader next

Weird, Any luck with bootloader?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] danarama:
Nope. Just restored system and boot from Lollipop and booted fine. Really no idea why it wont boot on M preview.

[MENTION=5823687]liam_davenport[/MENTION] does your fastboot flash look like this in the OP?

Running preview 3 on latest hellscore no problems. Safe to flash latest supersu zip?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] liam_davenport:
I flashed and it didn't boot :crying: You can try latest zip here

I got it to boot with ElementalX though
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dex2grigg:
I'm scared ****less
[Nexus 6 Android Development] danarama:
worst case, flash the system.img again.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] collinjm01:
Yeah I tried flashing root and busybox, it never booted, I just reflashed system.img and it fixed it.

But no root unfortunately.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] pr0cl1v1ty:
My biggest problem was always snapchat, Now...I'm curious. Thanks for this.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] danarama:
Same then. Thanks.

I know [MENTION=1811927]simms22[/MENTION] suggests if you just flash system and not kernel, it should boot, but I tried that and got the same loops. Luckily it didn't get chance to encrypt my data so not all was lost.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] liam_davenport:
Have you tried a full clean flash?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bradputt:
Anyone installed this in multirom?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] danarama:
Here is what I did (i'm no stranger to fastboot)

Wiped data (left SDcard in tact)

fastboot formatted cache

fastboot flashed bootloader

fastboot reboot bootloader

fastboot erased system

fastboot flashed system

First time, i also tried to flash kernel and SuperSU but failed.

I then flashed preview 2, no boot, preview 3 no boot, bootloader preview 1, preview 2, preview 3 - nothing boots.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] josdehaes:
I flashed supersu 2.49 beta, and with elementalX kernel, you get a scary warning, but it boots, and has root.

Edit: indeed I first booted with stock kernel once, before flashing supersu and custom kernel.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] the.emilio:
Everyone having issues with booting... You MUST let it boot with stock system and boot img files BEFORE flashing any custom kernel, root and busy box. After you successfully booted with the stock files, flash TWRP then flash whatever kernel you want to use. I did it this EXACT way and it worked no problem. I even provided detailed steps a few pages back. It is not hard at all but if you can't follow steps then don't even bother.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] danarama:
These steps are not in the OP. If you read my previous post, you'll see I did exactly that and it still didn't boot.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] the.emilio:
That is not the steps I mentioned. I quoted them below so you can try it the way I did it exactly. And no they are not in the OP. But it would be nice for [MENTION=1363323]vomer[/MENTION] to quote it in the OP as this method never fails me.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] zenxaero:
What version su are you using?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] danarama:
Well, I'm not going to try again. I don't want my data encrypted so, I'll stick to Lollipop
[Nexus 6 Android Development] liam_davenport:
Very weird you should flash everything, including wipe SD then boot into recovery after flash and wipe data/factory reset see if you can get it to boot, backup data beforehand ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] danarama:
None

---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:43 PM ----------

Nah, not bothered. Will wait until it works without force encryption - edit, well I may test that unencrypted stock image to see if that works. *fingers crossed it doesnt encrypt all my data*
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dex2grigg:
Tried that version of Snapchat but it seems to force close on stories

Just updated it works now [emoji1]
[Nexus 6 Android Development] zenxaero:
Oh ok never mind. I thought you were having trouble booting because of su
[Nexus 6 Android Development] danarama:
No it wasn't booting stock. I'm trying stock now but with the unencrypted boot.img instead. After that I'll just restore my nandroid.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] the.emilio:
Good luck! If you get it you'll like it. Haven't had an issue with what I use on a daily.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] danarama:
Oddly it did work, so either there was a problem with the stock boot.img or I forgot to flash it. Not sure how I would though because I need the RAMdisk from stock for EX to work.

OK Thanks for your notes.

The main thing is will Modern Combat 4 work? I play 2-3 hours a day so if not, its a no go.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] the.emilio:
Now that I am not sure of.. I don't game much on my phone. But according to Google this is just about a RC minus a few features like the Now on tap so I would assume it would work. I'm at work so no WiFi to download and test.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] danarama:
No worries. I'll titanium restore once I download that busybox :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Trooper27:

[Nexus 6 Android Development] aFancyTickler:
nononono the zip takes the current boot.img and patches it then reflashes it . im running stock M kernel
[Nexus 6 Android Development] D3VI0US:
You have to format data ? I mean you have to wipe the phone before booting ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] apristel:
After the verification warning, it goes to boot, but it goes to a black screen... is this normal behavior?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] patmw123:
Oh ok I gotcha. Thanks for the clarification
[Nexus 6 Android Development] daoist:
I get a device verification error during boot, but it does not boot.

Did you disable forceencryption in fstab.shamu? I did.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] patel4prez:
That's the same thing I got. Eventually just wiped and reflashed to stock, but the warning is still there...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] sn0warmy:
The OP's instructions explicitly say to perform a factory reset at the very end. I flashed the userdata.img and cleared cache but it wouldn't boot. I went back and saw the last part of his instructions to factory reset. I did that and BOOM, it booted right up.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] aFancyTickler:
yeah wipe with recovery and fastboot before boot up
[Nexus 6 Android Development] apristel:
So hanging at the black screen is useless? I don't know if it is doing something.

I'm not worried about the warning, I'm just curious is the black screen is normal and I should wait at it or start over.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] aFancyTickler:
did you flash SuperSu in recovery ? cause when i did that it caused a black screen. if so just reflash System.img and it should boot
[Nexus 6 Android Development] apristel:
I did. Thanks. I will do that.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] patel4prez:
Yeah I thought it was booting into android (just without any animations) and ended up leaving it for a good 10 minutes. After no response, I just hard rebooted and wiped all partitions and reflashed the preview.

EDIT: In hindsight, you probably only need to wipe the system partition; I wiped everything to see if the warning would go away (it didn't)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mastibeta:
I had to redo it...and not flash the root in cwm...of you flashed root...that may be why you had issue.

---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 PM ----------

Can I get a confirmation...everyone that has this working properly..are you getting an error during boot?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] apristel:
Reflashing the system.img and rebooting without flashing SU in twrp does indeed fix the black screen..

Good job guys. thank you.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] daoist:
I have the validation error and then blank screen problem.

Cause:

If you boot into twrp prior to booting the OS in order to factory reset, it will ask if you want to root your phone before rebooting. If you swipe to allow it to root you, that causes the black screen no-boot.

Solution:

DO NOT LET TWRP INSTALL SUPERSU.

Fix:

If you are stuck, then fix it by reflashing system.img, and then booting.

---------- Post added at 04:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 PM ----------

I can confirm that modifying the boot.img on the preview to replace forceencrypt with encryptable works fine, btw.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] shawnten:

[Nexus 6 Android Development] danarama:
Sorry for off topic. Did search the thread but didn't find my answer. Has anyone got root explorer to mount /system r/w?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] josdehaes:
AdAway also can not copy the hosts file to /system/etc/hosts. I tried manually in adb shell, and it seems not possible to remount /system as rw, although strangely enough / can be remounted rw. I hope someone finds a solution for this. (although in recovery it's possible to still remount rw, so I copied the hosts file in recovery).
[Nexus 6 Android Development] danarama:
Yeah that's what I did with build.prop
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Trooper27:

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Trooper27:

edit: Mine is still stuck at black screen for like 3 minutes now. Might have to try and install differently. I flashed the M3 images 1 by 1 and then booted into twrp and flashed Elite Kernel and Supersu, then get the black screen. Not sure where I am going wrong.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Tylog:
Hit the power button After bootanimation is finish and blackscreen is there for a moment or hit him a few times, sometimes volume key works too ( not to long otherwise reboot ) , the blackscreen thing happens sometimes with other roms. Maybe you have to reboot again one time , it will work then.

You might need to manually map TB to your Backups folder. Check either Storage or 0.

So I've found the folder containing my backups in TB but when I select 'use current folder' it just wont stick.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] papanut:
is TB configured so that you would select the next level up and then the program would find the folder?
