I tried dirty flashing the June update again over a working April update and lost my baseband, IMEI, etc. I then tried flashing a modem via TWRP as well as through fastboot, but nothing changed. I restored the known good EFS partition and nothing changed. I then clean flashed the June update, skipped the "No SIM card" part of setup, and then tried all the above again with flashing/fastbooting a modem and even restoring the known good EFS partition, but no dice. I just restored back to the April updated (via TWRP) and everything is fine again.

I then flashed the latest stock image for the Nexus 6, which is MOB30M. SIM works fine on stock, but I noticed that this ROM isn't based on MOB30M -- it's based on MTC19V like the Nexus 5x/6p is. Not sure if it's been that way all along or ??? Would be interesting if that started being used as a base in May when my problems started.

I'm wondering if others on Sprint are running Sprint Nexus 6 phones that they bought from Sprint or are they doing like I am and running an unlocked Nexus 6 from Amazon that I just activated on Sprint. That could be the difference.

Whatever it is, something definitely changed starting in the May update. The issue can be accurately reproduced every time, and the only way to resolve it is to revert back to the April update (which also corrects it every single time).

Could you running a different kernel be the difference? I'm running the stock one.

I'm don't think so, TBH. But I'm not that smart when it comes to stuff like this, I just ban trolls.[emoji14]

At this point, it's got to be worth a shot. You've tried everything else it seems like. :(
[Nexus 6 Android Development] internetpilot:
HOLY SMOKES! That did it! "No SIM Card" problem solved!

I just flashed the Elite kernel on a clean flash of the June update that was dinking around with, and after it booted there was a message saying, "Configuring your cellular service...". It's now getting my usual strong LTE signal, the baseband and IMEI info is all there, etc.

Finally! I was going nuts with this one! Is there anyone who should be officially notified of this or...?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] johnb380:
Maybe try updating your bootloader maybe it is old and/or try the newest N preview radio 36R. Also it's possible that your radio files are corrupted... maybe try to download them again and reflashing.

Just guessing at this point.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
Yahoo! Glad to see this.

Yes, let [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] know that something is amiss with the stock kernel for Sprint.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] internetpilot:
Thanks, I did verify the bootloader is the latest when I encountered this problem with the May update. I also downloaded like a 1/2 dozen different radios again (I was pretty desperate...haha).

But it turns out that it has something to do with the kernel. I've always just been running the stock kernel, but I just flashed the Elite kernel over a clean install of the June update and now it's all working as it should. I'm relieved, but that definitely opens up some other questions (that are definitely beyond my knowledge)...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] johnb380:
Well all that matters is it works... but ya that is weird.

Good luck!

Insane battery life (kind of)

I finally got around to ROMing my Nexus 6, and Pure Nexus was the first ROM I tried. On stock, I could get about 4-5 hours of screen on time if I had light use, no bluetooth streaming etc. I just got an insane amount of SOT with Pure Nexus! Granted, a large amount of that time was spent reading with a black background and low light lol. But this screenshot is still cool to have! Great work guys, love how snappy this ROM feels, and the battery life so far is great. (I'm still skeptical on power draw while sleeping, but I have to test more.)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] internetpilot:
Hey, I'll gladly give you all the credit! If you hadn't posted your phone info screen, I would've never thought the only difference between me and other Sprint PureNexus users is the kernel! So THANK YOU! I was beginning to think I was going crazy and my N6 was plotting against me!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cowboysgz:
Is there any way to block quick settings in lockscreen when using pattern lock? I'm still able to pull them down.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jayharper08:
Nah. Just trying to help by posting the info. You caught it. Still not sure how it affects it, but hey, it works! Happy you got it going, sir!

Can i make a zip backup with Titanium of just the few apps i use like Textra my launcher app viber and dialer app and the when i clean flash the Pure N rom just add the Titanium zip along with the gapps and restore all in one shot ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
[MENTION=1811927]simms22[/MENTION] did that as he posted above. You might check his details.

I been dirty flashing this rom for so long I forgot what the best way is to wipe for a clean install ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] New Rising:
When I go set lock screen wallpaper in the PN settings all my pictures are grayed out. Anyone else having this issue? I downloaded quick pic and it works fine. Just a minor annoyance I guess.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
wipe data, and wipe system. thars it. if you dont flash anything, then you wont boot, since system is your rom.

---------- Post added at 01:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 AM ----------

thats what i did, different apps of course :angel:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
Anyone familiar with this issue and how to deal with it ? Wiped it in TWRP did a clean install flashed latest Pure Nexus Rom

Google Saying This device was reset to continue sign-in with a Google Account you previous synced on this device and when I enter my login info google don't recognize it ?

Guess its google Factory Reset Protection is there an easy work around or patch ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RandomPooka:
Mine is from Sprint, due to reasons beyond my control. I wish I could have bought it somewhere else, but $print was the only option in the limited time frame I had to replace a phone.

-- Edit --

Glad to hear that you got your data back. I've always used ElementalX. But, even if I don't flash EX, I still get data on a clean flash. I wonder what is the root of the issue?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rbedell:
Lol, chances are that you don't remember your info. You have to sign into Google to release the device regardless of the clean flash. Yes this is a security feature. There is a way around it I believe. I think you can flash all of the latest stock package, including the radio and bootloader from google using fast boot. If I remember right it didn't ask me for my email after I did this. This will wipe your internal storage and reencrypt your device though if you don't use something like wugs tool kit and flash a "no force encrypt modified kernel".

[Nexus 6 Android Development] wrongway213:
I linked here how to get Viper working as a system app (no need for compatibility mode, works in normal mode, no broken auxiliary or Chromecast either) on any ROM and any kernel a few pages back. One zip installs Viper and uninstalls DSP and MusicFX, the second allows you to run V4A in enforcing mode instead of permissive if you wish - optional. First uninstall V4A and reboot so you have no drivers installed from it, then flash the zip in this post (and the enforcing zip too if you want to use an enforcing kernel). Then when you reboot, install drivers on Viper and reboot and play.. you'll see processing and aux and Chromecast will work too.

Not that it's a big deal, but just kicking my OCD in the face. Is that gap between the battery icon and the signal icon supposed to be that big?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jdog94:
probably not if you use a batt icon and percent
[Nexus 6 Android Development] K-alz:
Turns out not just that. When I turn off 3minit and show the stock battery, nothing shows up but the "text" option. When I select the "circle" one, only a very very tiny dot shows there. The gap is still there when I select the "text" option. Lol

Gap is still there
[Nexus 6 Android Development] toknitup420:
The gap is there with nothing at all as well. Anyone notice that on stock. Maybe its normal.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] K-alz:
Lol. I don't know. Is it supposed to be there when you hide the battery?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] toknitup420:
I'm not sure. I've never hid the battery on stock. Maybe someone who's on stock can chime in.

Am I alone in checking for updates, even tho my phone runs great, no issues, concerns or desires? Pretty much flawless for my uses yet somehow, some reason I check for updates. Hell, I don't even know what an update would add or fix.... just somehow feels wrong not flashing...

The only thing I am excited about is my new nexus comes tomorrow, Motorola sent me out a new one because my speaker grill/cover fell off and got lost and they agreed to send me cloud white in place of blue, but see, I know I'll slap this ROM on it and my bit of excitement will be over again. Damnit beans, break something for us.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] micmars:
Another excellent report of superb Motorola service...and cloud white...nice.

As to checking the thread for a release, you're not alone...though it has absolutely zero influence on the outcome, hey, you get to hit the forums.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] SeVIIn:
I have to admit I keep checking for an update too, I have flashing addiction, but this ROM is too good to leave.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] caspersfi:
Yeah, I got the urge also. The Flashaholic in me clean flashed the ROM this morning.... again. Why? No particular reason. Nothing was borked. It's because I'm a freakin Flashaholic.

Fortunately for me tho, my arch nemesis, V4A, Is ticking me off with the drivers not installing deal again.

I don't want everyone here(and I do mean everyone because their are so many knowledge people here) to chime in and give me the simple fix. I'll fight it and search the fix and get it going. It's something obvious that I'll kick myself later for.

Oh and Beans said this morning that the update might be a cpl days, he's been busy with some real life ish. :)

I couldn't fine a good working way around it had to reload my backup

Hoping someone here will know how to get around it ????
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
You probably disabled "Allow OEM Unlocking" in Developer Options. Restore from your backup and turn it back on then clean flash.

When i wipe using TWRP should i do a format data or just swipe to factory Reset ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rbedell:
I think when you restore a back up it wipes everything needed automatically, but you should wipe everything but internal storage in advanced, factory reset doesn't wipe fully and it might even wipe internal storage though I could be wrong. I haven't used factory reset in a really long time... Use the advanced menu and check everything but internal storage.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] y300owner:
Guys is there a way to customize the shortcut by holding the home button. Before it was Google now but I've disabled it and want another app to start it

Secondly do I just download the latest zip file and just flash it ? Do I need to reflash gapps if I just want to update the ROM ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hamma:
Because a clean flash is recommended you´ll have to flash gapps, too.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] y300owner:
Don't want to reinstall all the apps and home screen configuration :/
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ecsnead69:
Did you do a normal restore or a backup zip install? Did app data restore also? Thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] slothdabski:
If you're going to be in the custom ROM game, then titanium backup pro is worth the $5 investment. Idk what launcher you're using, but nova has a layout backup/restore function that includes widgets, wallpapers, and all settings.

Use the titanium pro batch actions to restore most apps "app only". Then restore the few that would take a long time to setup again (for example amplify wakelocks and custom smartwatch faces) using the "app and data" function. Try to restore the app data from as few apps as possible since restoring all your app data from the data partition kind of cancels out the benefits of a clean flash.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
For the benefit of the readers, "this" in the quote above refers to Android Pay refusing to add a card because Google can't determine whether the device is Android compatible or not.

I get this as well, but I also modified /system. Doing any or all of the following was enough to fail the CTS check.

Install custom boot animation

Install custom alarm sound

Added system app (Cyanogenmod gallery)

Set systemless SuperSU to compatibility mode.

Other than the clean flash, what modifications did you make, because one of them is interfering with Android Pay?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] kryptikal:
Thank you for all your efforts Beans! Been waiting for the weekend to do the clean-flash update and it works perfect! Not sure how but it feels snappier than the 05/06 release. Pure Nexus is the best, smoothest, most solid ROM I've ever used. Thanks again & keep up the great work!

Isnt that the new version of anything always supposed to be better than the older version? No thanks, I would rather stay with the May update version instead of this buggy and "less-features" June version.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
and to me, "less features" is much better than lots of features that i have no need/use for. and regardless, "better" would all depend on what you are personally looking for, as your better could be my lot worse. and buggy.. did you try it? if not, how can you call it buggy? i dont have any bugs. i see your statement as "buggy".

The easiest way to switch kernels is to extract the boot.img from pure nexus and flash that, then we should be good to go to flash a new kernel right? For some reason yesterday after I flashed the boot.img I lost supersu. I had to flash Pure Nexus and gapps again to get supersu back
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
easiest way to flash a kernel is with twrp recovery, be it a flashable zip or a boot.img. you dont wipe anything, and just flash it, then boot back up.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] vsot13:
I just reflash ROM again and then new kernel
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
Wondering if theirs anyway you can save your settings or preferences from Pure Nexus in a file or something instead of having to try and remember them all and then go back and manually reset everything up again ?

Also whats the preferred best to wipe your phone before a clean install ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MrMiami81:
When I turn off do not disturb the phone vibrates. Is there a way to disable the vibration?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
in the main settings, backup and reset, enable save data and restore. that way, google remembers all your settings, and your wallpaper.

also, best way to to wipe would be to wipe data and system within twrp recovery.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jayharper08:
I haven't tried this app for Pure yet, but I've used it on others and it worked great. Maybe someone else could chime in if they've used it for PN.

Clean install: Go to wipe (in your TWRP recovery), select wipe>advanced wipe> and check Dalvik/Art cache, System, Data, and Cache. Then swipe to wipe. Do not select internal storage.

I always go ahead and do a factory reset after I wipe that just to be sure. ;) I always clean flash and I've never had an issue.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
Excellent Thanks You
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
The reason that devs recommend a clean install is that setting change between many versions, and restoring the old settings to a new version causes problems. That restore is in effect, a dirty flash, and may cause problems. When they say clean flash, they mean start over from scratch (which is a pain, I agree) to avoid conflicts and problems.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Tekken Lord:
It looks like the next revision is coming. I will hold off until the OP iron out a few minor bugs. Awesome ROM, thank you so much.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
im going to correct you, just because it really bugs me, not because you said something wrong, because you really didnt. BUT.. wiping dalvik/cache before flashing a rom is pointless, as they automatically get wiped when you flash. lol, and im not going to say anything about the factory reset after wiping, as thats just an issue in your head(as we all have those kinds of issue to some point) ;)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jayharper08:
Believe me. I know exactly what you mean, lol. I know it does on both points, but old habits are hard to break. Been doing it since the Evo 4G days, and I'll probably do it until I die.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
Thanks for the reply Brooklyn maybe I'll see you in Kings Plaza :) I was raised around there when i was a kid very cool place to be at

Anyways I do have in main settings, backup and reset, enable doesn't really seem go to far to get you back your rom preference settings ??

So when you say wipe data and system within twrp recovery you mean in twrp advanced wipe ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RIPPER:
Anybody facing video playback problem in latest build?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
yea, go into advanced. if not, youll end up wiping evwrything, including your storage.

i used to let google restore everything, but i find making a flashable zip if my apps much faster. but google ALWAYS does it for me, settings and wallpaper always get restored. even though i did notice that i had to change my battery % type back this time. oh, its not instant, the restore. it take a few minutes to appear.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
What do you use to make the flashable zip ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
titanium backup. it has a mostly not used option for it. i say mostly not used because most dont know how to use it correctly, so its not used much. all you do is first, make a typjcal app backup, then you go back and make a flashable zip with that backup.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Budman_NC:
Do you just flash it right behind the rom and gapps or do you flash rom and gapps, boot up and then go back and flash the update.zip from Titanium?

Thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] y300owner:
Is true anything wrong or dangerous with dirty flash?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rbedell:
No, unless you don't make a backup, don't know how to use fast boot, or are asking for issues to be fixed without clean flashing.

My preference is a clean flash every time. I got pretty quick at putting everything back the way I like it though.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
both. this time i flashed after my first boot up.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
As mentioned in the first post, a clean flash is highly recommended. I would say mandatory, but I'm not Beans. You can dirty flash over the 5/6 or earlier version of Pure Nexus if you wish, but you're on your own if you do. Don't report any bugs unless you clean flash, as they will not be considered.
