Yes, it works. Here's what I did:

Download SuperSU beta v2.49 from here > https://download.chainfire.eu/740/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip

Flash in TWRP.

Done.
[Nexus 6  General] roerch:
Hi there,

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm asking just to be sure. When I already have LMY47Z I won't need to flash the radio since it is identical to the old (as someone posted before)? Also what is it with the boot.img, do I have to flash this one?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6  General] Stephen:
Is anybody able to get the T-Mobile LYZ28J OTA update? Would you mind posting it here?
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
No, you do not need to flash the radio.

And it's not a stupid question. The only "stupid" decision is to not ask the question when you're not sure.
[Nexus 6  General] snovvman:
What about boot (kernel)? According to this post, it is new.
[Nexus 6  General] abogrhen:
yes ignore the radio if it is the same as you have

boot img is the stock kernal

you can flash it or leave it

your phone will work with the old and new kernal normally
[Nexus 6  General] Jsunn:
Same here please! I am un-ecrypted but stock everything else.

Why won't T-Mo and Google post the LYZ28J separately. Very frustrating....

[Nexus 6  General] snovvman:
Knowing that OTA would not work, I let it run anyway. It looks like the downloaded update.zip was to be flashed using stock recovery. TWRP didn't process the file. If we can extract the update.zip and modify it to run in TWRP, it would make the update easier. Off to Fastboot I go...

Edit: Looking at the TWRP log--although I previously Fastboot updated to LVY48E, TWRP reported that my device still has the LRX22G release keys. I assume if my device had the LVY48E release keys, the update.zip would have been successful. Is the release key contained within the recovery?
[Nexus 6  General] Deckard_9732:
OK ... so just to be clear ... do not flash this if you are Google Fi or T-Mobile?
[Nexus 6  General] NishantM:
Hammerhead=Nexus 5.
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
For the OTA to successfully flash you have to have stock, unmodified system (no root), kernel (including encryption), and recovery.
[Nexus 6  General] Face_Plant:
I wasn't sure so I flashed it anyways. If it's the same you can skip it.

I didn't want forced encryption so I skipped the kernel.
[Nexus 6  General] roerch:
I flashed both (system and boot) and it went all smoothly. Just after a reboot, I had to reinstall TWRP as it was gone. Reinstalled it, rooted, everything working fine now. Thanks for the information about the boot.img.
[Nexus 6  General] prbpci0:
This worked for me as well. Only thing to add was that I had to re-flash the Xposed runtime.

Here's something odd that I just noticed: after flashing this update, I can no longer see a list of running tasks with any System Monitor tool. I've tried three different tools and they all do the same thing. Can someone else verify this?
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
The reason TWRP was gone, is that the system.img file checks for the presence of stock recovery. If it's not there, it installs it.

To avoid "loosing" TWRP in the future, after you are done flashing system.img, stop using computer/command prompt and pick up your phone. In bootloader, use the volume key to navigate to "recovery mode" and select it with the power button. Your phone will boot to TWRP recovery, and if you reboot from there it will stick.
[Nexus 6  General] roerch:
Thanks for this hint, I will try it the next update.
[Nexus 6  General] snovvman:
Duh! Thanks for pointing that out.

---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 PM ----------

Does the OTA update.zip check for root or other modifications before executing? It would be great if the .zip can be modified to flash. This way, we won't have to reflash Xposed, SuperSU, and other System partition mods. I'm being lazy, I know....
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
The OTA updater script checks for any system modifications, including root. If anything is modified, install will fail. And using the unroot function inside SuperSU is not sufficient. It still leaves a few modified files laying around, which will cause installation failure. You have to fastboot flash the system.img to get rid of modifications. And if you're going to do that, why not just fastboot flash the new factory image?
[Nexus 6  General] Pecata:
For people on T-Mobile-do not flash the new factory image-wait for a T-Mobile specific build! Otherwise you will have connectivity issues.

[Nexus 6  General] snovvman:
Thanks for the explanation. In the case of LMY48I (a patch as opposed to a full release), I thought it would be easier to find a way to allow the update.zip to run. My N6 is on Project Fi, and I read in the PFi subscriber's G+ community that 48I is a generic ROM. By Fastbooting the system.img, I am wiping our PFi pieces until I reinstall and resync everything--that and the other mods that go into the system partition. If update can just run, I figured and it would replace the needed files and would require less follow up work.

Not to beat a dead horse--it IS possible to repackage the update.zip file so that it is flashable via TWRP, correct?
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
No, I don't believe so.
[Nexus 6  General] segfault82:
i'm running stock, rooted LMY47D with encryption disabled. will it cause any issues if i skip flashing the LMY48I boot.img when updating and keep the old boot.img from LMY47D? is the new LMY48I boot.img without forced encryption not available yet?
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
Use this to unencrypt the LMY48I boot/kernel. Works fine for me. > http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/development/mod-disable-force-encryption-rom-kernel-t3000788
[Nexus 6  General] snovvman:
Based on the above, I gather that the rooting process modifies some files in addition to installing/injecting SuperSU to the System partition.

Does this mean that when TWRP prompts to install SuperSU, it will also make the necessary file system changes?

I assume v2.49 is a newer version of the SuperSU than what is embedded inside TWRP?
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
Yes. It's a Beta.
[Nexus 6  General] segfault82:
aah, sorry I meant is there anyway I can just flash the new LMY48I boot.img and keep it unencrypted without losing my system data?
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
Yes, use the guide I linked in the previous reply.
[Nexus 6  General] Face_Plant:
I don't see why it wouldn't work. The LMY47Z kernel is still for 5.1.1 so it's not like you're trying to use a 5.0 kernel on a 5.1.1 ROM. I have no clue if it's available yet or not. I don't use stock unencrypted kernels so I haven't looked.

It should.
[Nexus 6  General] pkgnex:
Verified.

I'm not running exposed (just stock, rooted, custom kernel), and I too can not see tasks in any system monitor any longer. Same with task killers (don't flame me... just installed and tried a few on a whim to see if all tasks are invisible to them, too).

Something DEFINITELY changed in this respect for this build. Maybe making running tasks invisible to 3rd-party apps is part of the stagefright security patch.
[Nexus 6  General] prbpci0:
Thanks for verifying. I'm kind of anal about keeping an eye on running tasks. I'll give this a couple of days, but may downgrade or go custom ROM if this doesn't somehow change back.
[Nexus 6  General] snovvman:

[Nexus 6  General] SquireSCA:
So I can just take this file(I am on VZW, stock, unrooted, not encrypted) and just use Wug's Nexus toolkit to flash it, right?

Damn, The toolkit doesn't yet have the no-force-encrypt module yet, so looks like I will have to wait to flash this...

---------- Post added at 09:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 AM ----------

So particularly, which items do we need to manually flash, to keep our otherwise stock unencrypted system?
[Nexus 6  General] nicholseric:
Google Project Fi

I just flashed to this from 48c by downloading manually from Google and leaving out userdata.img. Everything seems to be working fine.
[Nexus 6  General] prbpci0:
Post #25 in this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62208159&postcount=25) does a great job of laying out exactly what to do to update and keep what you have. Essentially just flash the radio and system images. Once you flash system.img, you'll have to re-do anything that modified that image (for me it was SuperSU, XPosed, and AdAway).
[Nexus 6  General] SquireSCA:
Cool, but I don't have an alternate recovery installed or root... everything is completely stock, unrooted, I just want the unencrypted file system...

So I just need to install ADB and then, flash the two files, wipe cache and reboot?
[Nexus 6  General] prbpci0:
How did you get to be unencrypted now without custom recovery or root?

Regardless, yes: flashing system.img won't affect your encrypted-ness, that's dictated by the kernel (which is in boot.img which you won't be flashing).

(and since I'm still stuck on this...) Why wouldn't you have root or TWRP on a Nexus6? They're both incredibly safe and only add value. If you're thinking of using adb to flash images, you're clearly capable of getting those working.
[Nexus 6  General] SquireSCA:
I just haven't had a need, really. Plus now I have another problem... Since I upgraded this box to Win10, I can no longer connect to my phone with ADB or Wug's Nexus Toolkit...

Weird, just tried it from my Win7 laptop that I know was working... Now the phone will not connect to any devices...

I mean, I can plug it in and access the files with MTP like normal, but apparently USB debugging is no longer working on my phone.

Brilliant... sigh...

---------- Post added at 10:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 AM ----------

May have it sorted now, I uninstalled and reinstalled the Google drivers and now it seems to be communicating... Not sure why both PC's failed to talk, being on different OS's, but at least my main machine is working now, I can use Wug's toolkit to flash the radio and system file as soon as I am off my conf call...
[Nexus 6  General] Face_Plant:
All you need to flash is system.img. The bootloader and radio are the same so there's no point in flashing those unless you really want to.
[Nexus 6  General] SquireSCA:
No, that helps, simple is better. The less I do, the less chance there is for something to go wrong. haha

So just use the tool to flash the system image, and then wipe cache and reboot and I should be good to go...
[Nexus 6  General] Face_Plant:
Yup. If you want root make sure you install SuperSU when TWRP asks or use CF Auto Root.
[Nexus 6  General] SquireSCA:
Nah, don't need root for anything these days... I just got the Nexus to always have the latest software and fixes... I gave up the flashing and tweaking thing awhile ago... spent too much time fiddling with my phone and not enough time actually USING it... haha
[Nexus 6  General] hifiaudio2:
There is no way for me to edit the proper files so that I can keep tethering on my N6 unlocked with my Verizon unlimited data without root though, right? Or is there another method besides the tether_dun / build.prop method that would allow me to keep the phone unrooted but still have the tethering feature?
[Nexus 6  General] noodles2224:
Seriously! That's exactly how I feel! I stop rooting, flashing since TMobile G2 , the slide out keyboard one. It was just a hassle updating because, no Dev actually has A build. I think you should release whenever an actual update occurs not because the text doesn't work in this update, better fix it the next. Too much. Sorry, its a rant I guess. But yeah..

[emoji4]
[Nexus 6  General] SquireSCA:
Dunno, I got rid of my unlimited data a couple years ago so I wouldn't have to deal with tethering issues... And with unlimited plans likely to get killed within the next year, it will be moot soon anyway...
[Nexus 6  General] hifiaudio2:
Noticed that this isnt in the download section of the wugfresh root toolkit yet. I assume there should be no issue with me downloaded the update manually from Google and pointing the toolkit to use that file? (havent done it that way before, the updates were always just "there" in the toolkit, so just wanting to be sure).
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
You might want to consider just doing it without a toolkit. It's really easy, as long as you take time to read the guide, ask questions, and understand.

Here's the guide (use method 2 "Long Method") > http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/guide-flash-factory-images-nexus-6shamu-t2954008
[Nexus 6  General] SquireSCA:
That will work just fine, it is what I did.

I didn't want to get rid of my no-encrypt setup, so I unzipped the System image file from the larger .zip and just pointed the tool kit at it and told it to just flash the system image... it asks you to point to the file and it does it. Simple.

Load up the toolkit, connect your phone, on the lower left corner is the Advanced Utilities, launch it, and in the middle of the next screen you see a button to flash system. Click that, show it where you saved the file and done.
[Nexus 6  General] Smallsmx3:
Is there a new radio in this IMG?
[Nexus 6  General] iRub1Out:
No, the radio is the same - it's just a security patch.

When I download them from Google theyre tgz files, not zips - how are you getting the individual images out of the tgz? I would like to be unencrypted, but didn't know how to get just the system.img file?

Are you just using 7zip to get the or is there another way?
[Nexus 6  General] vtmike:
7zip works
[Nexus 6  General] Lerinsol:
OK I have a rooted unencrypted N6 with TWRP and I followed the guide and flashed the radio and the system. I'm still rooted unencrypted and TWRP is still on recovery. I also went Normal with SuperSU binary update and everything works.

[Nexus 6  General] iRub1Out:

[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
I'm sorry, but if there is no OS on your phone, the updater script will not install the OTA. If you have TWRP recovery installed, you can move a ROM from your PC to your phone. If you are on stock recovery, your only option is to return your device for replacement or repair.

So let me make sure I have this right before I fail my sexy nexus. Essentially all I have to do is fastboot flash the LMY48I system.img, then prevent it from encrypting before first boot (then follow the remaining steps above), considering I'm currently on rooted unencrypted stock (LMY47Z), with a custom kernel (leanKernel) and TWRP, or am I forgetting something I need to do? I pretty much set everything up in one go when I first got the phone, and haven't looked back until now.
[Nexus 6  General] Face_Plant:
Just flash the system.img, boot into TWRP, wipe caches, and reboot. You won't get encrypted or lose your custom kernel/recovery or anything. If you want root install SuperSU through TWRP when it asks you. You will have to reinstall Xposed, Busybox, etc if you had them.

Updating to LMY48I

Hi, how to i update my Nexus 6 to the newest build using the Nexus Root Toolkit by WugFresh? I have a rooted nexus 6 with 5.1.1 LMY47Z. Is it also possible to keep root after the update?

Thanks :):)
[Nexus 6  General] sulaimanz:
Updating through wugfresh tool might wipe your data (factory reset). With the wugfresh tool or flashall.bat, you are going to lose the root. Once you have updated with new image(LMY48I), you can always root your phone again, just like you did for rooting the last time.
[Nexus 6  General] snovvman:
I've read (today) on the Project Fi owner's forum that people are getting 48E OTA. It is supposed to be a Fi-specific build. As of this writing, it is not yet on the dev image site.
[Nexus 6  General] DA6030:
[MENTION=2783052]shamelin73[/MENTION], forgive me for going slightly odf-topic, but do you have the Google Wi-Fi Assistant available to you? Check in "Google Settings" app-->Network-->"Use open Wi-Fi automatically".

Fastboot Flash,

System,

system.img LMY48i

Flash

Does this wipe the phone?

Ok, just so I have this straight; my phone is

Stock ROM

To apply the update, I just have to pull system.img out of the LMY48I factory image and apply it with fastboot, right? Will I need to re-root afterwards?
[Nexus 6  General] jj14:
Yes.
[Nexus 6  General] hifiaudio2:
I just took the whole update and applied it with WUG. What was the advantage of pulling out the system.img file?

So far I did have one random reboot, but it was a few seconds after a full load of the OS after the first purposeful reboot after editing the build.prop file. Hopefully that is the only random reboot.

So far I have not had to enter my PIN while at home. That feature has not worked for me YET on my Nexus 6. Not getting my hopes up that this fixed it somehow, but who knows.

Went to reboot system through TWRP; TWRP then installed SU to regain root. Rebooted, used SU to update binaries. Rebooted. Tested root and it worked.

Did I successfully update everything I was supposed to in order to be fully LMY48I and stock -- specifically, are my baseband and kernel what they're supposed to be? Thanks.
[Nexus 6  General] dyingearth:
The way I usually handle these upgrade is just to flash to whatever the corresponding factory image. Reroot the phone afterward. It's a wee bit annoying, but it's fairly bulletproof for me. In this case, I uses Nexus Root Tool, download the image LMY48I. Flash it without wiping data partition. After it went through all of the individual app recompiling, re-root the phone. I also need to re-enable VoLTE.
[Nexus 6  General] whalechan:
To people wanting to use the NRT to flash the system.img:

Always used NRT to do my things, so I had twrp, root and leankernel; extracted and flashed the system.img using the fastboot utility of NRT (did not set the no wipe mode iirc) and so it run and after optimising everything was still in place (apps, user files, photos). Only had to root again with NRT (also let it install custom recovery) and now it is fine (my leankernel works as well w/o reflashing it). So whoever said NRT wipes.....no it does not.
