[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Triscuit:
Hello everyone, I'm a long time XDA user and custom rom flashoholic. I just picked up the Nexus 6P after being on a Samsung S4 for almost 3 years. I ran F2FS on my S4 and was curious if this file system is supported on the 6P? Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, is there an easy way to make \System writeable on my Nexus 6P?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Do you have root access? You need that.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Munchkinator:
Yeah, and I actually just fixed the issue. Flashed a custom kernel and that seemed to do the trick. Thanks for the reply, though!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paniro187:
I used the nexus tool kit to root my phone when I did I didn't see that I had custom recovery ticked off. Now I have custom recovery and running chroma because for some reason my device wouldn't boot. After I unlocked the boot loader and it flashed twrp.

My question is how I do go back to stock recovery rom and only root because that is what I actually wanted
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Stop using toolkits, they're more trouble than they're worth. Anyway, you can go back stock pretty easily by performing a factory reset (Settings/Backup & Reset/Factory Data Reset) and then flashing the factory images (see section 9 of my guide). Then you can root your stock ROM by following the other directions in my guide.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paniro187:
The root section of your guide says I have to have twrp. ......unless I'm reading wrong.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
You do need TWRP to flash SuperSU. You can just flash the stock recovery afterwards though. Or instead of actually flashing TWRP to your phone you can live-boot it instead:

fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.2-angler.img

(you must have the TWRP file in your fastboot folder)

This will live-boot the TWRP image on your PC instead of flashing it to your device and you can just flash SuperSU.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subhjvlz:
I have a very rare problem on angler - As soon as I press the dial key the screen goes blank and I can't switch it on even by scanner or power button. Screen comes on when the call is disconnected by other party/network. Is this settings problem or my device is defective. Tried stock as well as pure nexus by [MENTION=4153349]Heisenberg[/MENTION]
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
It's most likely caused by whatever screen protector you have fitted to the device, a great deal of them don't have the necessary cutout for the proximity sensor.

Hi everyone. I Just noticed this problem today. I usually have my phone set at Priority Only when I sleep and I've used the shortcut on the quick menu to toggle this on and off. It's been on Priority for majority of today and I can't change it to any other mode anymore. When I use the volume button, there's an "end now" spot, but it doesn't do anything after I press on it.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schnob:
So, I'm not exactly a noob, I've been flashing since the Galaxy Nexus but I have run into a bit of a confounding issue. After trying to move to another ROM after doing a full wipe(everything but internal storage), few of my apps will open successfully and a layers theme from the previous ROM is still partially applied, though I haven't installed it. I have also tried restoring a nandroid and the issues still persist. This leads me to believe that TWRP really isn't wiping everything, so I'm not really sure what else to do but flash back to stock and start clean.

As someone else responded to you in the Franco thread, you don't. Neither work on 9.0 and the devs don't work on this device anymore because it's dead
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeTex:
not sure i'd say dead but definitely not popular anymore! The fact anyone even ported 9.0 to the 6p is amazing!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lawlrus:
The fact it needed "ported" is the definition of the device being "dead"

No official updates means it's a dead device.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeTex:
yes and no, remember the galaxy S3?

They stopped supporting it with kitkat 4.4

meanwhile it still had community updates all the way to 7.1 nougat. Which is insane.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lawlrus:

You extract the image to a folder on your computer, connect the device and then double click the flashall.bat file. That will begin the installation. Backup what you want first, the flashall.bat may wipe the device.

Noob question

I bought a Nexus 6p recently, it has 8 cores activated no heating no nothing and sit at 6.0 . I already did oem unlock and usb debugging , both turned on. My question is is that i'm recieving 8.0 through OTA all the time, i was wondering that if i take it or not. If i take it would i suffer BLOD and have to force flash the fixed boot.img or at this point is it safe that i take that OTA update?

Thanks in advance
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeTex:
No, the BLOD is caused by a hardware failure

Anyone else here use a Nexus 6P on T-Mobile, mine seems completely mentally stupid as is has tons of signal issues, but works fine on sprint and Verizon, but on TMO it has nonstop signal issues
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lawlrus:
Are you verifying the signal issues versus another device running on tmo? Do you have service one day and not the next in the same area?

Your radio doesn't care what service you use, sounds like tmo is bad in your area. I used tmo in the 6p for a couple months then switched to att because tmo is garbage on central PA. I never noticed anything weird aside from them needing to build more towers.

Hello everyone

I've got an old Nexus 6p which I have forgotten the password to, and I really want to recover my old files. It's stuck on the first screen where you can make an emergency call.

It's not rooted, no twrp, and I'm not sure if debugging is enabled but I want to say that it is. My pc recognizes the phone when it's in the recovery screen but otherwise it just charges. Can't access my files in any screen though.

I'd just like to know, is there any kind of hope for me accessing my old files? I just want all my old pictures, honestly.

Thanks in advance. :)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeTex:
TMO works fine on my nexus 4 with LTE, i have my own base stations.

Also works on my galaxy S5 and galaxy S3, my Nexus just will random disconnect and will show signal with no voice or data service(and eventually go to "no service"). It did work for a bit I think and then suddenly stopped. I have another 6p around somewhere, I should try it as well

Sorry it never showed you replied, I've tested in multiple areas including Chicago metro, which has very good TMO coverage. It's weird to me

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wedel219:
Hey. I know this is an epic necropost, but it doesn't seem like anyone ever replied to you. Were you able to figure it out?

I ask because I wanted to unlock my bootloader now that my Nexus 6P is two years since its last update and the battery is going to hell. When I tried, I could not make the OEM Unlocking Enabled toggle actually stay on. I found out that this is because Huawei, back in July of 2018, decided that device owners didn't deserve this right anymore.

Since the phone is from 2015, I just factory reset it. It was like taking a time machine back to before Huawei decided to be colossal tyrants and, sure enough, I was able to toggle OEM Unlocking Enabled and can now unlock my bootloader. And, if I want, root my phone.

Figured I might as well relay that. If you've got the device, still, and you didn't make any progress with it, take it out of whatever drawer and see if this works for you. I'm curious.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Conkel:
I'm going to be purchasing this device very soon and was wondering if it mattered which Model of the Nexus 6P I received mattered. I'm getting the 128GB Gold version. Are all models bootloader unlockable? I'm trying to make sure before spending $170 on this device if I'm unable to unlock bootloader I don't want the device.

Thanks in advance for any replies hope to hear back soon, Cheers :)

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Axeskill:
I used my nexus 6p as my daily driver for a long time after it came out and as such its battery is extremely bad to the point that it can hold a charge for about 10 minutes before dropping instantly to 0% so I was planning on using it as more of a media station/tv box constantly plugged in. As such I would like to squeeze out every ounce of performance I can with no regard to battery drain and was wondering what Rom/Stock/Root/Kernel would be most effective in this aspect?

I am definitely a noob in this area but relatively comfortable with technology as long as I have some form of guide to follow and don't care too much if I accidentally brick the phone.

As for streaming services I have been looking at kodi for anime and some other stuff but am already subscribed to Netflix and HBO and own a chromecast. My Oneplus 9 Pro has a "Cast screen" button which I was thinking of using for Kodi but I cant currently find a similar function on my Nexus. So as another slightly offtopic question I would like to ask how best to stream all this to my tv (a slightly older smart TV, too slow too use comfortably).

Grateful for any answer!

TLDR: How do i get the best performance out of Nexus 6p without regard for battery life and how do I set it up as a tv box?

Just bought a second hand Nexus 6P but when I tried to sign in, I got the following message: "This device was reset. To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device". I remember getting this on my Nexus 6. The suggested fix was to leave it for 72 hours but this didn't work. The only thing that worked was to flash Android 5 on it, sign in with my Google account then flash Android 6 on it. However, can't obviously flash Android 5 onto the 6P so feeling a bit stuck.

Ok I really derped hard. I use the *#*#4636#*#* menu to change my network type between 2G,3G and LTE as needed. The one under Cellular Network Settings doesn't work all the time as it chooses the selected type as 'preferred' whereas the service menu forces it.

I don't know why I did it, I went to the 3 dot menu in the hidden service menu and chose "Select radio band" and clicked on USA band which was the first option. I'm in India and now I've lost signal reception on my phone and since then I've flashed the radio image numerous times from the bootloader, even flashed my bootloader,radio,boot image,cache,system all over to no use.

Wifi issues

Is it just me or are others having issues switching between wifi connections? To be more specific, I only switch between 2 networks works. My wifi/phone works great at one place, but whne I try to connect to the second network nothing but "connected, no internet" or simply "connected" but wifi doesn't work. But not all the time and it started out of the blue this past Sunday (no apps down loaded). However, sometimes it's fine (e.g., Tuesday). And sometimes it resolves on it's own a few hours later (e.g., Sunday night after 4 hours-ish where wifi worked early and late but not for the time in between - interestingly, I could ping Google services during the down time). Today my phone required a reboot to get rid of the "connected, no internet" but it still did not transmit data (then reverted back to "connected, no internet" while I have been typing this post). Neither resetting the modem and/or router or phone network connections has fixed the issue. I had a Google chat tech support session and the best I got was i) RMA or ii) factory reset and I dread either :crying: (Tech also suggested that I forget the network -- poor tech help showing I might add). My issue has been escalated but I thought I'd check here too to see what the pros had to say. I searched and found this thread but the answers were China firewall related and didn't help.

tl;dr - wifi doesn't want to switch between networks and then fails to reconnect. Resetting doesn't fix the issue. Sometimes resolves on its own. Sometimes it doesn't

Suggestions?

Cheers

Noob here to the Nexus devices. And to marshmallow. My question is that when you root, flash custom recovery; you have to unlock the bootloader. When you finish do you relock the bootloader? What would happen if you did either or?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
You don't need to relock the bootloader. The advantage to locking it again would be extra security. The disadvantage is if you wish to flash anything again in future you'd need to unlock it again, which would mean wiping your device again. I just keep it unlocked.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fury683:
Unlocking the bootloader wipes your device. So does locking it again. That said, you should ONLY relock the bootloader if you have flashed a fresh FULL factory image. Locking the bootloader with anything modified could result in a brick.

Most people that unlock to flash a new custom rom, or even just to flash the official factory images from Google for the latest version to not relock the bootloader because it wipes data on both ends. You'd be constantly locking and unlocking the bootloader to flash images, resulting in a full wipe each time. You can sideload the OTA updates without unlocking the bootloader, but you have to wait for the OTA links to be available.

With the way Google is releasing monthly security updates, if you want to stay up to date, the best advice is to unlock your bootloader as soon as you get the device (or unlock it now to get it over with), which will wipe. Then you can flash the factory images whenever you want.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
I don't think locking the bootloader wipes the device, only unlocking does.
