It's the only way you would lose your data, so I assumed that's what you did. Unless you flashed the data partition which would have the same effect. The quote may be hidden on a computer screen, but it isn't using the XDA app. It still shows the full quote.

[Nexus 6P General] SGTME113:
After installing nbd90x, twrp 3.0.2-3, and supersu 2.78 I no longer can connect to wireless networks. Can't connect to wifi, or 4G. Please help
[Nexus 6P General] Einwod:
Did you update the bootloader and radio images? Did you flash manually or use the flashall.bat script?
[Nexus 6P General] SGTME113:
Yes I updated the bootloader and radio, and I flashed manually. I reflashed the update but didn't install TWRP or SuperSU and it works now. Maybe it's something with TWRP 3.0.2-3?
[Nexus 6P General] Einwod:
Usually the vendor image. I always leave it till last.
[Nexus 6P General] SGTME113:
I did that too. I tried to install TWRP and SuperSU again, and it's still knocking out my wireless . Do I need to use the beta version of SuperSU?
[Nexus 6P General] Einwod:
The supersu 2.78 is the latest version.
[Nexus 6P General] scoot0073:
Try Superuser 2.78-SR1 works for me
[Nexus 6P General] Homeboy76:

does anyone else have a issue withthere phone shutting down with like 30% battery left? mines starting going from 30% to 0% and turns off
[Nexus 6P General] kyle_el:
Yeah, mines been shutting off at 12% pretty consistently. I feel like my battery percentage is just being read incorrectly.
[Nexus 6P General] ^tyrant^:
i would be happy if mine was doing that low... but 30% sucks
[Nexus 6P General] rchtk:
I remember reading that the depth of discharge is indeed wrongly sensed. After hitting 100%, the battery would still need 40mn to effectively be fully charged. You could try that, let it switch off. Switch on again until really empty and do a full charge and then on. And 40mn at 100%.

And see what it gives..

Edit: there, nice review http://www.anandtech.com/show/9820/the-google-nexus-6p-review/6
[Nexus 6P General] ^tyrant^:
thats kinda what i did today, I let it run down as low as it would go, i hit 22% before it shut off. and now i am doing a full slow charge, and will repeat to see if it gets better

Stupid question, but does a stable TWRP make it stick without root? I plan to flash Pure Nexus, but I don't necessarily want root access as of the moment.
[Nexus 6P General] ZAVALARR:
Seems its easier to root Samsung than pure Android nexus
[Nexus 6P General] Einwod:
You need to flash supersu after twrp to make it stick, otherwise it will revert to stock recovery on boot.
[Nexus 6P General] jesssiii:
I think if you flash a custom kernel and choose to let twrp change the system when first entering it's recovery by swiping the bar, it will stick. If you want just stock kernel that won't force encrypt there's one out there too.

Nexus 6P
[Nexus 6P General] hh11bbaacchh11:
Just a clarification. I'm on a custom rom and have already set up my phone. When I flash a kernel, will it remove everything or will it be just like rooting and the kernel will just be changed? Also, will I need root to flash a kernel?
[Nexus 6P General] nathanchance:
No, just the kernel will change. You don't need root to flash a kernel but you do need it to modify any settings.
[Nexus 6P General] hh11bbaacchh11:
Thanks for the fast response! I'm going to try out your kernel.

Stock Android N

Dears,

I am on stock Android N with the latest October updates.

I had an unlocked bootloader, was rooted before but back to stock.

I am trying to follow the procedures again (Already re installed my SDK and updated it) but

* when I try the command:

adb devices

I receive the serial number but with unauthorized word?

* when I try:

fastboot devices

from the bootloader, nothing is happening?

* when I execute the command:

adb reboot bootloader

...error: device unauthorized

* when

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

I receive the waiting for any device"

Thanks for any comment or help.

[Nexus 6P General] mohdfahad47:
Hello everyone, i wanted some suggestions on an issue i have. I have a friend who also owns a nexus 6p, and while all the hype was going on when nougat first came out, he decided to enroll in beta program and get the 7.0 update (after doing that he unenrolled from the beta program). It's been a while since the first build came out for the 6p and he didn't get an ota update since. He is on (NRD90M), he is not a root junkie and totally depends on ota for being up to date. He is a little worried now, so im thinking of unlocking his phones bootloader flashing the latest stock image (by manually flashing all the img files) and locking back his bootloader. Will he get the ota's later on after i update his device the way i mentioned above? Or if there's an other way he could get the ota Right now without the need of unlocking his bootloader and flashing the images? Thanks
[Nexus 6P General] SlimSnoopOS:
Best option would be to ADB sideload the latest OTA image NBD90X (not factory image) using stock recovery. This does not wipe the phone. Were you to unlock the bootloader, the phone would get wiped. Instructions are on the Nexus OTA image page too:

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/ota

Edit: The phone would still get OTA updates after factory image or ADB sideload install.
[Nexus 6P General] DimICE:
How to avoid TWRP lost after reboot without installing SuperSU (wich not pass SafetyNet check) ? (NRD90X).
[Nexus 6P General] mobileman88:
You can't. I just go to fast boot and reflash twrp each time that happens
[Nexus 6P General] DimICE:
But all system changes that were flashed with TWRP also lost after reboot.
[Nexus 6P General] mswal2846:
Yea, I've faced this too. The only way I've found for this to work is flash TWRP, Install SU (to root), make changes you want kept, boot the system, let the phone come up, go to SuperSU app, remove SU (if you don't want it) and reboot. That keeps TWRP still in recover, keeps the changes you made, and it removes root (which, in my case, keeps my employer happy with those apps which don't allow root).

The pain is the first boot with root tends to cause my employer's apps to freak out and remove themselves...
[Nexus 6P General] mohdfahad47:
Thanks a lot, how could i forget adb sideload...
[Nexus 6P General] DimICE:
SafetyNet check failure after uninstall SuperSU without restore stock boot.

System changes and TWRP lost after uninstall SuperSU with restore stock boot.

:(
[Nexus 6P General] StarShoot97:
Guys, I can't find my 6P in bootloader mode. It's stuck in a bootloop and I can't enter recovery mode either.

Everything is working fine on my Nexus 7
[Nexus 6P General] Einwod:
Check in device manager when connected, you may find the triangle with exclamation. If so, manually update the driver.
[Nexus 6P General] StarShoot97:
When I connect my phone in bootloader mode to the pc, I can see it in device manager, but there is no exclamation. I have "Google Nexus Bootloader Interface" installed as a driver, tried also others like "ADB Interface" but none of them are working
[Nexus 6P General] Einwod:
Mine says "Android Bootloader Interface".
[Nexus 6P General] StarShoot97:
Mine too, yet the phone doesn't accept any fastboot commands
[Nexus 6P General] Einwod:
Have you installed fastboot system wide? You may need to be in the fastboot folder for it to recognise the phone. Just a suggestion.
[Nexus 6P General] bidoa:
Not really a bug but Spotify doesn't pause when unplugging headphones on latest ROM
[Nexus 6P General] StarShoot97:
I have, doesn't work either
[Nexus 6P General] Einwod:
Last resort. Delete the drivers you have installed, reboot the computer and reinstall them. Reboot after re-installation also.
[Nexus 6P General] StarShoot97:
When I type fastboot devices I get ENU5T15B05000xxx fastboot as a result, so the device is being recognized

Yet the commands are not being accepted
[Nexus 6P General] Einwod:
I see you've gone to another thread now with this. Are you typing the correct commands? The smallest error in typing will cause the commands to fail. Where commands are shown in a post, it's better to copy and paste them, that way you ensure the commands are correct.
[Nexus 6P General] StarShoot97:
Yes, I asked in altogether 3 places.

I am typing the right commands, if I typed them wrong the command would fail

But the command is sent, the phone just doesn't receive it
[Nexus 6P General] Einwod:
OK, are the commands pointing to the right location? Are the files in the same folder or in a different one from the command prompt? When I'm fastboot flashing, I always have the files in one folder so the command lines are short.
[Nexus 6P General] StarShoot97:
I try from different locations

Usually I drag the file into the CMD window, therefore I can't make mistakes in the path
[Nexus 6P General] Einwod:
When you type adb devices the result should be the serial number and beside that device or authorised. If it's unauthorised you have to authorise it by pulling down the status bar and physically authorising it. That's from within the OS of the phone, of course. I really can't think of anything else. Are developer options on?
[Nexus 6P General] StarShoot97:
The devices is not listed under adb devices

I can't boot into the phone, it randomly got stuck in a boot loop

Developer options are on, but I can't remember if USB Debugging was turned on
[Nexus 6P General] Commando3ooo:
TWRP wont boot

I unlocked the bootloader,

downloaded the TWRP for android N

flashed the image

reboot bootloader

start

but I am not booting into the TWRP.

What's wrong?
[Nexus 6P General] Einwod:
You need supersu to make it stick. Otherwise it reverts to stock recovery on boot.
[Nexus 6P General] DimICE:
Or custom kernel like ElementalX.
[Nexus 6P General] Einwod:
That I didn't know.
[Nexus 6P General] beartek:
using skipsoft toolkit which i found through here it's easy to do!
[Nexus 6P General] Xewyph:
Hi ! I'm getting an error when trying to flash the system.img :

C:\angler>fastboot flash system C:\angler\system.img

error: cannot load 'C:\angler\system.img'

what should i do ? I'm completely stuck and i need my Phone to be ready for tomorrow !

EDIT : I'm trying the sideload method, but it says "cannot read: system.img"

EDIT 2 : I'm trying with NRT, it seems to work !

EDIT 3 : Well ! It worked like a charm with Nexus Root Toolkit ! So, if you guys have the same problems has me, you can always use the Nexus Root Toolkit to flash the system.img (apparantly there is some problems with cmd.exe because of the large file, but NRT seems to bypass them !) and it'll work nice ;)
[Nexus 6P General] dusto2k3:
I previously had my phone rooted on MM now on NBD90X and am trying to get root back. I installed adb on my PC like the guide says, but my fastboot wont connect. I'm pretty sure my bootloader is unlocked, but OEM Unlocking is greyed out to off setting in dev options. What do I do to get this root back.

update - fixed, just reflashed recovery and SU and everything was good.
[Nexus 6P General] hh11bbaacchh11:
So, a quick question. I made an EFS backup as the guide suggested. I want to put it on my Google Drive for additional safe keeping. Is it as easy as copying and pasting it on my computer then upload it on the cloud or do I have to do anything special? If I need to do something special, can you post a link or the instructions? A million thanks!
[Nexus 6P General] Einwod:
What you have described is the correct way. Just upload the folder to drive and it's safe as houses.
[Nexus 6P General] hh11bbaacchh11:
Thanks, man. I just wanted a second opinion.
[Nexus 6P General] ehabareda:
When you are connected to the computer, go to your phone and click on the "USB charging this device" from your notifications, then pick the "Transfer files" options.

From your computer, go to the device manager, click on the Android thing! try to update the driver by selecting ADB interface.

Hope this will help, just had the same issue and this worked for me.
[Nexus 6P General] inprince:
Unroot for Android Pay - Does TWRP remain?

So, I get that when you first flash custom recovery TWRP, then, after you reboot into TWRP recovery, you immediately need to flash SuperSU to make TWRP stick. I've had personal experience of TWRP not sticking if you don't flash SuperSU. So, I had to redo step 2 (install TWRP recovery) and step 6 (root by flashing SuperSU). It's rooted now, and everything's good except Android Pay, which I'm sad to say I do miss using.

I've tried changing permissions to /su/bin (according to http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/android-pay-root-t3309072), but was unsuccessful. Is unrooting going to "de-stick" TWRP? I mean to say, if I do unroot from the SuperSU app and reboot, will I still have the ability to reboot into TWRP recovery and have access to all its great features? If so, they rerooting is a piece of cake and just a few 10s of seconds of work. Let me know.
[Nexus 6P General] rchtk:
To make TWRP stick, once you enter recovery, you only need to allow system modification.

As soon as you reboot from TWRP, it will patch /system to prevent stock ROM from replacing TWRP.

edit: wait.. not only this but also a modified kernel/ramdisk OR a superuser app that disables dm-verity.
[Nexus 6P General] Einwod:
He can't boot into the OS, that's one of his "other" problems. So he can't make any changes until he can boot correctly.
[Nexus 6P General] Morrolan:
How long does TWRP need to boot the first time? I flashed it and booted into recovery, but all I get is a persistent splash screen. It's been over 20 minutes.

Using twrp-3.0.2-0-angler.img
[Nexus 6P General] rchtk:
Try the latest 3.0.2-3
[Nexus 6P General] inprince:
I tried it. I unrooted through the SuperSU app and the phone rebooted. Everything was as it was, except the root was gone. I checked the SafetyNet test and it passed! When I booted into the recovery, TWRP was also there.

While I was unrooted, I tried to add a credit card to Android Pay and it still said that my device/software is incompatible. I think the problem is that, because I've tricked the system into thinking it's a Pixel device by editing the build.prop file before I unrooted (in order to get the Google Assistant), the Google system is not able to recognize the authenticity of my device or something akin to that. So, maybe root was not a problem because there were data points on another XDA thread saying that AP worked with a systemless root, which is what I had before I unrooted. So it looks like I either forgo AP to enjoy the Google Assistant and also enjoy root, or change the build.prop to reflect that my device is a Nexus 6P and maintain it unrooted to enjoy AP. For now, I've opted for the former. So, I booted into TWRP recovery and reflashed the SuperSU and now I'm back to root. :)
[Nexus 6P General] streebs87:
I have a quick question. (I searched and couldn't really find a definite answer and I apologize if I overlooked!)

I read somewhere that in order to login to Snapchat I must unroot, login, then reroot and it'll be fine. Do I go into SuperSU and do the unroot option, boot up and login, then boot back into twrp and just flash SuperSU to get root again? Thanks
[Nexus 6P General] inprince:
I'm not sure where you read that, but I didn't need to unroot to login to Snapchat. I unlocked the bootloader, which wiped my phone (all user data gone). Then I installed TWRP custom recovery and flashed SuperSU. After that, while rooted, I downloaded the Snapchat app, and I was able to login fine. This was on my rooted Nexus 6P with SuperSU 2.78, for your reference.
[Nexus 6P General] streebs87:
Hmm, weird. I keep getting a failed login whenever I try. I looked it up and apparently Snapchat makes it hard for rooted users to login. I guess I'll just keep trying, lol. Thanks for the info, good to know that it works for rooted users.
[Nexus 6P General] inprince:
yea good luck man. But the process you described in your previous post is right if you want to first unroot and then reroot. That worked for me (had to do it to try something else).
[Nexus 6P General] rchtk:
It's possible to have all. Look in magisk subforum.
[Nexus 6P General] Morrolan:
Thank you! That worked.
[Nexus 6P General] sirxdroid:
Is SuperSU still recommended on N 7.0? I've seen mentions of phh's SuperUser used together with Magisk. I'm still on 6.0 stock rooted and trying to figure out what it takes to go to 7.0 rooted and hopefully not have to start from scratch (keep apps & data). Thanks.
[Nexus 6P General] aboynamedkim:
Point number 14 here in the guide shows how to upgrade to 7.0. It's almost the same as flashing one of the security updates. SuperSU has been working fine for me on 7.0.
[Nexus 6P General] scoot0073:
SuperSU 2.78 SR1 works good here on 7.0
[Nexus 6P General] Big Cam:
OK, so I screwed up. I have an unlocked bootloader, but was on stock Android N, no root.

I took the Android Beta 7.1 update, and it broke an app I can't be without, so I used ADB to flash the latest Stock Android N just like I did about 3 weeks ago, and now it won't pic up LTE signal, and alot of stuff doesn't work, simple stuff like when I pull down the notification panel, that's it, I can't pull down further to get to settings or anything like that.

The home key doesn't do anything, the multi task button doesn't seem to do anything and I was getting a pop up saying that a core android process wasn't responding.

Do I need to wipe userdata too? I was trying to avoid it, if I have to do it, I will.

EDIT: I caved and wiped user data, looks like I'm good to go on 7.0 again. What a waste of my time, stupid 7.1 hahaha

So I have an unlocked bootloader,but not rooted never has been and no customer recovery ,never has been.Im in the beta programme so as if last night running 7.1,how can I lock my BL again.Dont need it unlocked and after the latest android pay update its stopped working due to unlocked BL.I use it a lot so need to lock my BL .

Thanks for any help
[Nexus 6P General] mobileman88:
Read the op to return to stock. Then relock it
[Nexus 6P General] combat goofwing:
I have read the op ,it says how it must be stock and no custom recovery before relocking but that's it,how do you actually relock it and dies it wiped data like an unlock
[Nexus 6P General] Big Cam:
I got it as an OTA since I was in the beta program and on stock Android N

---------- Post added at 08:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 AM ----------

If you know how to unlock it you know how to lock it, the instructions in this thread tell you how to do both, adn FYI you will wipe all data if you re-lock it.

lost over 20 audio recordings, some WhatsApp history, etc.

[Nexus 6P General] SixFourSix:
I did 11, which is basically the same but there's a data wipe before booting into bootloader and flashing the images. And it booted for a long long time. Like really long. Patience was needed.

I was coming from Pure Nexus 7.0 ROM, and i did same commands as you but the files were just not in the fastboot folder.. hope you got it going on.. :)
[Nexus 6P General] Einwod:
First rule of flashing is always make a backup and remove it from the device. That way, no matter what happens, there's a way back.

Updating to the 7.1 DP worked like a charm using the info from this thread. I went directly from 6.0.1(MTC20L) to 7.1(NPC10C) using step 14 and retained all data. I then flashed TWRP 3.0.2.3 per the thread and booted into it and installed SuperSU 2.78. Everything seems to working smoothly so far.

Thank you Heisenberg for keeping this thread updated with clear, concise instructions!
[Nexus 6P General] wilflare:
hmm did updating to 7.1 re-encrypt the phone for anyone?

I think that may be the reason why the phone was seemingly stuck at the bootloader.

for those who use nandroid backup - does it actually affect the timestamp of any media backed up?

I usually do my backups... but I thought it should be a simple process :/

shouldn't have taken the OTA... I usually use a factory image and follow the instructions here :/
[Nexus 6P General] mobileman88:
Yes. If you are not encrypted. I am already encrypted before flashing
[Nexus 6P General] SlimSnoopOS:
It's either your platform tools (no) or your fastboot that's out of date
[Nexus 6P General] wilflare:
oh well. that might really explain why it took so long at the boot animation... considering my phone is 128GB.

btw - does unlocking the phone automatically decrypt the phone? my phone wasn't encrypted to begin with
