[Nexus 6  General] jj14:
Backup. Then, try the normal way (without wipe). If there are issues, do the full wipe. Else, not.

Edit: full clean is needed when there is file structure change (I think that happened with Kitkat at one point) - when the location (symlink) of the sd card changed.

Assuming you are on a Mac, don't you need to use ./fastboot instead of just fastboot?

[Nexus 6  General] thenellt:
I didn't need it for any of the other commands. Flashing boot.img like that worked fine. Another user suggested that I might need mfastboot (Motorola's version of fastboot) to flash files over a certain size so I'm going to try that.

I am getting same error!

I unlocked bootloader, ran the install bat from command prompt.

HELP

[Nexus 6  General] scryan:
Yeah of it was a path issue you wouldn't have gotten an error message from fastboot :)

Interesting, that does almost sound like mfastboot is needed, as it exists because fastboot was limited in the size of the image it could handle....

But a lot off reported success in this tread with no mention of needed mfastboot.
[Nexus 6  General] thenellt:
I agree its a little strange. I succesfully flashed system using the version of mfastboot found in this post.

Root is working with custom kernel on the factory image.
[Nexus 6  General] xdatastic:
The AT&T stuff is on a separate /oem partition that is not touched by flashing the factory images. I haven't tried it myself, but "fastboot erase oem" should wipe out the oem partition. Alternatively, if you are rooted, you can mount the partition and manually delete or rename the files and directories with all the AT&T crap.
[Nexus 6  General] shabuboy:
Thanks, found a few links how to do it, but all failed.

I unlock the bootloader which was fine and easy. However, everytime I run the "fastboot erase oem" I get a permission denied. I also enable "OEM Unlocking" in developer options. Got any links to procedure? I do not want to root, just want the ATT crap gone.

Unpack the zip file into the same folder as bootloader

Then fastboot flash bootloader bootloader*.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash radio radio*.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

flastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash cache cache.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot reboot

That should do it for you....

For those having issues using fastboot: Make sure you update the SDK to the 6.0 tools. I recall reading that needed to happen to flash.

Guessing you should be able to:

fastboot flash radio radio*.img (if needed)

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash cache cache.img

fastboot flash system system.img

And reboot. Not sure if it will work, but that's going to be the method I use to go from 5.1.1 to 6.0 at first. If there are issues, I'll do a total wipe; but I'm hoping it will work.

Same Problem No Write Mode

I've got the same problem. Using Root Explorer and tried installing BusyBox as well. Apps request root permission but can't put in write mode.
[Nexus 6  General] flightsimmer:
I wouldn't recommend it...

I installed on top of preview 3. Everything seemed to be OK until the "application has stopped" errors started. All of the apps that were not installed as part of the system had broken app permissions and kept failing to start. To get things working, I would have had to uninstall each app and reinstall it prior to things working.

To add insult to injury, my SD card contents would show through the MTP interface, but nowhere else. I just did a factory reset in TWRP and things are working once reinstalled.

[Nexus 6  General] djkinetic:
Looks like M has system write protection much like HTC phones, this would explain why i had to install busybox through recovery, to get around write protection till kernels that disable it are available, make any /system changes in TWRP.

Do you get the red corrupt triangle on boot?

[Nexus 6  General] blitz76:
I already tried EX kernel, preview 3. Same thing happened, atleast for no write access to /system
[Nexus 6  General] djkinetic:
As I stated any changes to /system for now must be done through TWRP, just installed busybox and modified my build.prop through recovery and it sticks, HTC owners are accustomed to doing this.
[Nexus 6  General] Flying_Hellfish:
Nope, root explorer says it's r/o and I can't switch it. Well crap

Yes, I get the system may be corrupt message but after that it boots normally. Greenify seems to be working fine, I'm going to do some more root app testing to see what happens since it looks like /system isn't r/w

[Nexus 6  General] djkinetic:
to install busybox, install busybox on rails from the playstore and choose recovery install method, for the build prop use adb pull /system/build.prop then make your edits on your computer (i use notepad ++) after you are done reboot to recovery mount system in twrp and do adb push build.prop /system/ then with twrp file manager select CHMOD and use 0644 for the values, then reboot.
