The magic thing is that probably it won't be needed.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cink40:
No R version...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ben_pyett:
These files are for the original build MRA58K and not the requested latest and current build MRA58R

It might work but aren't the instructions given and is not what was tested. Did you upgrade this way?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] 55Pegasus:
Yes, works fine. Just no November Security update.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TsarFlow:
So if I understand well, we only need to fastboot flash system.img and then from recovery flash the mod and everything else ? We only need the system.img from factory image ?

[Nexus 6 Android Development] MysticKing32:
So the default kernel in the mod is permissive right? In other words I don't need to flash another one. Quick question what is the kernel? Hellscore? Or is it just a custom one? Thanks by the way. Been looking forward to flashing this all week
[Nexus 6 Android Development] BxingFetus:
I flashed a completely new factory image plus cataclysmod/SuperSU and all is great! No fc's of any kind and all the cataclysmic greatness. I know I took the long way around but I needed to clean up the device in general. Had it setup again in ten/fifteen minutes. Thank you for the continued development.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ben_pyett:
correct.

Yes MOD contains a PERMISSIVE stock kernel.

If you intend to add another kernel I'd recommend booting the initial factory image + MOD first.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dex2grigg:
What kernel is everyone using? Hells?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] BxingFetus:
I always go stock for a couple of days just to acid test.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] yudumcan:
Oh God. Coming from iPhone, android environment, custom Roms, kernels, rooting etc took me 2 months to learn, now it looks like another huge change ( I hate changes) I'm already freaking out. I'm happy with my Cataclysm rom release and my custom kernel. What happens if I don't make any changes?

And if I decide to install the new Mod does that mean all my settings will be gone? and what the hell is permissive? I'm using Elemental X, is that permissive?

Also do I need to flash the stock firmware first then install the Mod? God help me!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
i did that after the clean test this afternoon and it went without issues, just go ahead.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] daihard:
You will need to flash the stock Android 6.0 first, which will overwrite whatever kernel you've got now. On top of that, the Cataclysm MOD comes with its own permissive kernel. If you want to use ElementalX, you should be able to choose "permissive" during the kernel installation process.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] yudumcan:
what happens if I completely ignore this and stick with the latest release? one more thing I can't find the stock firmware in the original android forum?

EDIT: what is permissive?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
only disadvantage i see for some people is that we need a computer to adb flash the google part. perhaps there will be the possibility to convert the factory image into a flashable zip but then i'm just brainstorming, on my mac flashing vie terminal is almost as easy as via recovery. just connect the usb and use the following commands depending on what to flash:

cd /Users/magna/Desktop/shamu

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

BTW the little storm in the water glass had to be expcected, this will abate as soon as everyone got used to the new procedure.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] yudumcan:
To be honest I'm freaking out. Learning all this took me months now there's a new procedure. I'm coming from iOS and I'd like to keep things clear. So if I install this new Mod thing will I still have all the features? and how different is this to other rom installations? I'm very confused.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
yes i understand your confusion but see it postitve, all the steps it takes now are basic knowledge which everyone should master who is taking part in the world of root and mods, hence you will just be forced to become a master flasher LOL. yes you will have all the features except the three he mentioned and the only real difference will be that you flash stock google system image from your computer instead of rom.zip from recovery.

btw there are very nice tutorials on xda as to fastboot procedures from pc as well as from macs.

to be honest i think sooner or later someone will make a flashable variant from google's system.img to make things work more like people are used to.

EDIT: you have to understand that he does not have the device and in the long run we would probably have lost the rom for this and other devices like 6P and 5x hence

i prefer to have the sparrow in the hand than the pigeon on the roof LOL
[Nexus 6 Android Development] daihard:
I can't say for sure, but I'd assume you won't be able to get the future Cataclysm update, unless the MOD file can be flashed directly on top of the current Cataclysm ROM. I wonder if anyone has actually tried that?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] yudumcan:
I completely understand if you want to be part of this you have to learn basics. So you're saying I can't flash the factory firmware from TWRP recovery?

Man, I have a Mac and I tell you it's like using a kitchen spatula to row your boat! if PC is involved I'm sorry but I'm out. I might go back to Pure nexus or Chroma.

thanks for the help

EDIT: Why did they want to change installation to this way? is it better faster? and other roms likely to use this method too?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ben_pyett:
If I've understood correctly, there have been two reports of that being tried above, one positive and one not, so the jury is still out on that approach.

Other options available:

1) download flashable system zip from xda, link above, although that currently doesn't include November security patch.

2) -download Google image to PC

-fastboot flash system system.img (full 2Gb from PC)

3) perform option 2) and then take a twrp nandroid backup of your original unrooted system partition (using either of the twrp system backup options) to keep available on your devices SD card so that you can revert or reapply cata mod without the need for a PC at any time.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] yudumcan:
after every update release of this new 'Mod' thing do I have to install the stock google firmware again or can I just install on top using TWRP?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jarnoldsr:
Hate asking stupid questions but did something happen to the cataclysm app? No biggie I can access they settings but the app isn't there.

Sent from my Nexus 6 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ben_pyett:
Read the thread further above. You'll find a link to an xda thread containing a flashable system zip file which you can use from recovery on your device.

Although this isn't current MRA58R build but previous MRA58K as I pointed out.

Although someone else has used this method.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dex2grigg:
Lolz flashed it over the top of 27th Oct rom that sh1t bootlooping good and proper haha anyone tried flashing mod on top of a stock zip android development?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] yudumcan:
Thanks for that, so there's a flashable zip, perfect. If it's not the current build can I run an update then install the Mod? Also will the mod has the latest build included?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] galaxy s4 nutjob:
Flashed 15th over the 8th and boot loop am i missing something
[Nexus 6 Android Development] buzzwyzr:
No. But I have a problem where the phone shuts off anytime an app requires the camera (camera, Snapchat, etc).

I'm using the latest Elite kernel so I'm gonna flash the Nov 15 update and use stock kernel for a while to see if that helps.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] yudumcan:
if this is not the November update can you do a OTA then flash the MOD?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] JNewms:
You're supposed to flash the Google system image via fastboot, then today's update... Did you read the post?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] daihard:
Thanks! Once I'm ready, I will most probably take route 2. :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] galaxy s4 nutjob:
Just reread the op so i must go to r system. IMG then to 15th correct
[Nexus 6 Android Development] JNewms:
Is layers working for you OK? Curious because I had issues getting layers to work on the stock image
[Nexus 6 Android Development] LeoRex:
Slow writes.... Normal take a little time to save and I never remember seeing the 'saving picture' toast before. I'll have to peek at a log since you mentioned it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ben_pyett:
That's certainly the recommended route, and the method I used for success. ?

Although after you've done option 2 certainly worth also considering option 3 so that you can repeat the process without a PC.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] pcartwright81:
I flashed the factory image from November using fastboot without wiping data, Cataclysm, SuperSU, EX with enforcing unchecked and everything seems to be working as expected, including camera saving at normal speed with no FC. Honestly I like the new way of flashing better as we can flash the factory image on the day it is released. Should be easier on the dev too.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ben_pyett:
Correct.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] BxingFetus:
Not really, the manager is not letting me select some layers like Jimmy's magpie one. The layer toggle buttons don't even appear.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] daihard:
Very good point. Thank you again!

Sorry please delete this post.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] yudumcan:
Sorry can someone clear my confusion. Does it mean that every time there's an update do we have to install the factory firmware? And is it still the same ROM we love but in different installation process or completely a different one?

EDIT: if this is the easiest way to do this why other developers don't use the same method?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] socheat:
I get boot loop after latest update.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MichaelMcEntire:
Is anyone using the systemless root method with the latest? I'm not having any luck, every time I flash the modified boot image it seems to get stuck at applying settings.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ben_pyett:
Because this method is brand new and unique to this rom/developer.

I suspect it's because you need to boot the stock system image + cataclysm mod zip before changing boot.

So boot once, then return to recovery and flash system less boot .

---------- Post added at 12:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:17 AM ----------

Afraid this means you've not correctly followed the new install instructions.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] yudumcan:
So does that mean I have to install TWRP all over again? God this is getting more and more confusing. I think I'll stick with my Oct 27 release.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] WyldOne91:
Is there any chance you would be willing to build this for the 2013 Nexus 7? I love when I can have my phone and tablet on the same ROM. Just makes things easier, and I am loving Cataclysm!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] daihard:
From what I've read so far, you should be able to just flash the system image file (system.img) instead of the whole factory image when Google releases an update. No need to re-install TWRP recovery every time.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] yudumcan:
I think I'm going to stick with my Oct 27 release, it works perfect for me. As I understood he removed wake to notifications tweak which is why I chose this rom over others.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bitterbuffalo77:
Guys if you follow ben_pyett instructions to the letter you will have no problem. New methods can be scary. But the steps are clearly stated within this thread. If using fastboot commands aren't for you use Wugs nexus rootkit to flash the system image. That's how I did it. Mostly out of laziness.

Steps:

Go into twrp

Do a Nandroid backup

Full wipe

Reboot in bootloader

Use Wugs Rootkit to flash the system.img

Reboot back into recovery

Flash the mod

Flash root(optional)

Restore data

Reboot system

This method probably won't work for the Mac guys as I'm not sure there is a Mac version of Wugs toolkit.

This method worked fine for me twice today. Twice because I flashed a kernel that borked things.

The only issue I'm having now is with layers manager not letting me delete layers.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] JohnSpawnVFX:
Okay...

First: stop freaking out.

Second: read up on stuff.

Third: this is what got removed. Nothing else.

Removed "AppOps Autorun", you can use a free app like Autorun Manager

Removed "Volume cursor control", you can use the navbar controls.

Removed "Disable full screen keyboard on landscape".

Whenever I have to install a factory image, I follow this simple tutorial: http://androidforums.com/threads/guide-how-to-flash-a-nexus-factory-image-manually.706533/

Read it good to find if and when you need to reinstall TWRP.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] daihard:
If you're on Linux or (Mac) OS X, you should just be able to use fastboot to flash the system image, as follows.

fastboot flash system system.img
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MichaelMcEntire:
I had actually tried that, I ended up flashing another kernel afterwards and that seemed to get things working. Thanks for your help! I really appreciate it!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Blizzard3001:
Hi atl4ntis, is there a reason why you had to remove "Disable full screen keyboard on landscape"? I really liked this feature :)

[Nexus 6 Android Development] nemanja066:
I would like to release a little bit of space in the system for Layers, Busybox etc...and delete some applications that are already on the market. What do you recommend, Titanium Backup maybe or manually delete app's folders in file explorer? Or there is something better and easier? Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
i think you just have to relax a bit and quietly read what he wrote :) all is not as difficult as you think:

a) i told you i have a mac and it's easy stick the usb cable into both, open a terminal window and use the commands i posted earlier and read tutorials on xda

b) he explained very well and i did even more so. this rom is special and we want a rom which the dev does not have the device there has to be a way developed to make it possible.

just relax, sleep one night and the next morning things will appear much less overwhelming and to tackle problems with vigor is a good lesson for life anyways :cool:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] yudumcan:
Cheers for the link. I read through every line and I must say I hate it, I hate entering command lines, I hate making sure this worked, it worked etc.

I was very happy with the rom after trying 3-4 roms and now this huge change. I think I'll still stick with my 27 Oct release and see how the new 'Mod' updates go unless there's a huge change I'll keep my release as it's fast, stable and I'm getting great battery life. but most of all I don't have to plug my phone to computer to enter stupid command lines, if I want to try something new, I download it flash it with TWRP, done!

---------- Post added at 02:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:13 AM ----------

I totally understand what you mean. I just get really frustrated if I don't understand the whole idea behind this rooting, custom roms etc. especially not being able to get the latest builds makes me very angry. Now I stopped doing everything and been reading from scratch I still don't understand it. this makes me want to go back to ios and just deal with jailbreaking (at least I don't have to enter and commands, plug it press jailbreak and done)

[Nexus 6 Android Development] yudumcan:
It's not being lazy. I came here this morning and being reading everything about how to install stock factory image and doing everything all over again. I've been in this community for maybe 2 or 3 months and I find things change suddenly and you have to keep up with it all the time. I love the way I can install a custom rom whitin 10-15 min just flashing the zip file. Now going back to installing the costom rom and doing this all over again is really making me frustrated, as I said I don't like changes especially if those changes are huge and I have very limited experience.

You could be an android master, rooting specialist or a Rom developer these might seem an easy task for you, maybe you're doing this every day but for me this is big so I hope you understand. as I've spent almost 6 hours here already I still can't figure it out.

Switching kernels now with the cataclysmmod method. What's the preferred method by all? I know it's new but anyone done it yet? Flash mod and then new kernel or flash stock Google kernel and then new kernel or extract kernel from cataclysm zip and flash that followed by new kernel?

that's exactly it, to avoid having to consider each time and to avoid reading a bunch whether a rom or a custom kernel's current version is permissive or not i'm using SELinuxMode Changer app as default means to have permissive for sure across devices and roms. there is link somewhere in this thread to download it if i remember correctly and if it was not this thread it was the Cata-N5 thread.
