Did you take that initial NANDROID backup though?

If you didn't perform a full wipe, then your original DATA partition may still be intact, so you could try to wipes your CACHE and DALVIK and see how booting goes......
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nixie2121:
Yes, I have the nandroid, all my stuff is still intact. I will boot back to recoverery and wipe the caches and see what happens. Thanks for the help, it is appreciated.

For the people afraid of the process, in the general section there is a step by step tutorial on installing adb and learning to use fastboot.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
no problem, your choice but still there are quite a few errors in your conclusions:

a) it never just does not work, there is a reason and the reason you mentioned has nothing to do with this rom but with the setup in the wizzard. during setup there are a few check boxes to tick or not and you ticked at least one too much, since i don't perform cleanies all the time i dont't remember the exact wording but i did one yesterday and i remember it was there and it had to be left out. if you read ( google search ) with your error message you will easily find out, BTW it's all about reading = education

b) there are only 2 versions which 100% work, dirty with wiping caches and clean install without telling google to block you device if your bootloader is unlocked and/or if you install a custom recovery and the likes ( that's about what i mentioned under a) without the correct wording as said )

c) if we want to be masters we have to attend schools ( lessons ) and in this case this is an equivalent to reading reading and again reading based on searching searching and again searching. if we choose to take the easy way we get stuck on lower levels and as a result remain dependant on others and to be spoonfed in a way and we have to deal with minor quality or levels. nothing wrong with that if it's a self made decision but still good to be awere of the fact that each approach comes with consequences, at least long term :)

Hey guys...

As I'm a huge fan of MultiROM so have tried this and now using Cataclysm as secondary ROM without any issues...

A big thanks for the lovely ROM...

Have flashed N6shamuM V2.0.0 as secondary Rom

Flashed CataclysmMod

Flashed ElementalX 3.06 kernel

Flashed permissive zip

N yuppies... Perfectly working Cataclysm..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] suku_patel_22:
If you have not wiped data before flashing, then there is no need to restore data.

I followed the exact below steps and it's fine

1. Flashed system image in bootloader

2. Flashed Cataclysm in recovery

3. Flashed ElementalX in permissive mode

4. Wiped cache and dalvik

5. Rebooted system.

Working just as it should. Also retains my cataclysm config.

Well, yours script question could also be considered as spam in this thread...- and also my answer naturally
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nixie2121:
so now I went to apply adblock but got an not enough space error?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ben_pyett:
I used es file explorer (root) to remove the unused IME ie Korean/Japanese etc from system>apps
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Woody:
You have no more room in the /system folder. You have to delete something to make room. Do you need Google Earth? ;) Get rid of it.

This goes for everyone. If you want to add things to /system like certain modifications, layered apks or things like Viper, you'll have to remove some things from /system to make room for them. Google packed this MM image to capacity. If you want additions, you'll have to make subtractions. In the same sense, every time that we'll have to flash a system.img those things that we remove will be replaced. So it would be good to keep a list of what you remove, better to have a flash script that'll do it for you.

**********************

Let's be easy with some of the newer users. Yes this is a Nexus and you should know how to fastboot, but for some this is there first kind of phone like this and for others, they may have flashed zips their entire Android career or have had to use Flashtool or Odin and never fastboot. This (Cata-Mod) is a new process, so try to be a little forgiving until the learning curve flattens out a bit.

**********************

For my experience, I have never been on stock more than the initial bootup of any phone that I have owned. I come to this site to flash ROMs, not run stock. So with this new method, 99% of the process is perfectly fine with me. That 1% that I need to decide if this'll work for me from this point on is the odexing of stock. Most custom ROMs are deodex'd. Always have been and probably most will be. In my old SGS3 days, I ran stock odex'd for a blip before I realized that I couldn't do some of the things that I "needed" to do to modify it and just flashed a custom ROM. Now that was 3 years ago, multiple devices ago and 5 OSs ago. Things are different now, but still something that I'll have to evaluate for myself for the future.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Scofield.:
hey guys, which kernel can i use for color adjustment? tryed this one: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/development/kernel-stock-kernel-root-color-control-t3218958 and got a lot of FCs. I like the kernel because its very simple without all that fancy stuff. is there an alternative that works with the new mod? tanks.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] foxfire450:
ElementalX works fine. Just make sure you check the option for permissive mode in the installer.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rignfool:
This... Is bad information...

Xposed works fine on odexed roms...

It's actually intended to run exclusively on odexed roms... Because all factory roms are odexed
[Nexus 6 Android Development] airon11:
It is not a matter of oder..it is simply because there is nothing enough space in system partition...just delete some apps like YouTube and maps( which are installable via play store in /data partition) and you are good to go...

[Nexus 6 Android Development] arifqur:
True!

Working fine here on stock MRA58R with Cataclysm Mod
[Nexus 6 Android Development] atl4ntis:
Cataclysm files are deodexed so if you want to modify SystemUI or Settings shouldn't be an issue.

I'm not sure about your modifications, if you modify smali code for example.

But if you just modify xml or pngs shouldn't be an issue with odexed files, apks are still there, they just don't contain the code.

While probably noone will care about the following info i'd like to point out that while previous Cataclysm was probably the most "illegal" firmware out there as it included proprietary stuff and gapps, now Cataclysm Mod is the only 100% "legal" firmware out there as it doesn't contain any proprietary stuff, blobs etc, zero.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rapdes:
Can someone confirm that if I'm running the Nov 8th beta of catalcysm, and I want to install the latest beta update, I need to wipe my entire system, install the factory image and then flash the beta zip in recover.

So the last version of cataclysm can longer be updated, without starting over with the factory image?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] AlkaliV2:
Noted. There were ART changes to the Samsung Xposed module because they changed their ART files. That meant that Arter97 had to remove that issue by running Xposed on the modified libart files and removing odexing from the ROMs to make it work properly.

Turns out that was only applicable to Samsung and I thought that it applied across the board. Mistake noted and post edited.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] atl4ntis:
Sorry for double posting but i'm on the road.

I'd like to point out also that Cataclysm Mod doesn't require an odexed firmware. I just can't deodex it for you anymore.

If you find a deodexed stock firmware around or you know how to deodex it, you can safely flash the mod over.

Edit: i'm basically just handing you out my code, which should be the main thing afterall, only without spoonfeeding unnecessary things like removing system app, supersu, or deodexing the rom.

All things you can do yourself if you want/can.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jamiethemorris:
Is volume cursor control going to be added back?

Also can the beta mod be dirty flashed over the release version or is it required to flash it over the stock ROM only?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] airon11:
I really like this new approach..and it really gives a lot of space to end user..

Are you planning to release cataclysm for other nexus devices also? Not only new nexus p and x but maybe also nexus 7 2013 ..just an info...and thank you for your great work...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] biglilsteve:
It's required that you flash this over a stock ROM that you flash thru adb.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tuckandroll:
I'm getting reboots about 30- 45 seconds after boot finishes on the new update is anyone else experiencing this?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Lagarde:
Skimming through I didn't see others with this issue...I apologize if I missed a flurry of answers to this...

Was running fine on the Oct 27th release version with ElementalX 3.06 kernel. Updated to the newer Cataclysm Nov 15th over this.

- Immediate bootloops.

- Reinstall kernel (seen this being required in the past when things get overwritten). Bootloop.

- Reinstall kernel and verify permissive. Bootloop.

- Factory wipe. Bootloop.

- Decided to get creative. Factory wipe, install Oct 27th, install Nov 15th, install kernel. Bootloop.

- Rolled back to (sadly old) backup and runs fine back on Oct 27th.

Wtf?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] HueyT:
Only if you flash the mod over non-MRA58R stock. Needs to be flashed over MRA58R stock only.

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 PM ----------

This mod works best over MRA58R stock (check out "Stock-MRA58R-Lite" over the other Android Development forum.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tuckandroll:
so you can't flash this over previous cataclysm builds?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] foxfire450:
No, it's not a delta update to the 27th. You must flash over a stock system.img. Instructions in the release notes.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ihancioglu:
I installed mod over factory image from Google. There is 20 mb free space left on system partition. So I need to remove a few application from system partition to install a few layers theme :(
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Lagarde:
So we cannot upgrade the Cataclysm Oct 27th release? We have to wipe/reload? Just want to make sure I'm clear on this. Not a fan of the daily-wipe game, so trying to avoid that. I've dealt with ROMs that require wipes every few versions, but it's definitely not my first choice. If that's actually the intention with Cata, I'm ok with that, I just would want to know. Thanks!

(edit: someone already answered above me...if we're having to wipe each update as stated, I think I'll move to another rom to save my sanity. Thanks everyone!)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] atl4ntis:
Updates should be like this:

New sources are released along with Factory image:

- You flash new stock image, flash updated mod over

New features/fix are added in Cataclysm:

- You just flash the mod over.

No wipes should ever be needed.

Also you're not forced to update, and it's not my fault if new sources are happening every month.

If you're uncomfortable with this you could just flash latest stable and call it a day till N release.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wase4711:
I never understand why people think they need to post that they are "moving to another rom"....

If you wanna go, just go, no need to tell the world about it..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ben_pyett:
You're able to restore your current data partition app all your settings and applications are preserved.

Sorry, but you must make an effort to at least read the thread.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Derrick Watts:
Well just had a go at flashing the latest system image with the mod and it worked fantastic.

All you have to do is what everyone else says, read the instructions.

Thanks atl4ntis.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] damngood98:
ok, thread's moving pretty fast now but i suppose that's expected given the new format

in any case, i've read more than once in just the last day of posts instructing users who are flashing elemental kernel to still use his permissive zip as well.....it should be noted that as long as you're using his very latest kernel (3.06) it is now in the aroma options whether or not you run it permissive/enforcing so the extra permissive zip is no longer needed

great work atl4ntis :good:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
you're absolutely right, xposed is running absolutely great on this stock+mod variant, that other info total non-sense unfortunately, making things looking even more challenging to some with fastboot phobia LOL. ( i prefer zip as well to be honest ) but then we in return we can keep cataclysm for our device. we all know why he was looking for a solution and it could have meant the end for the N6 variant if he had not found a nice solution :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tkalli:
To save some keystrokes and to access fastboot, I wrote a simple batch file.

C:\Users\Ted\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools is where fastboot is on my PC.

Command Prompt opens C:\Users\Ted

My batch file is sdk.bat and is in this directory.

sdk.bat typed at command prompt takes me directly to platform-tools.

Batch File

Echo off

cd AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools

Since I use fastboot all the time, it just saves a little time and avoids a typo.

Once you get use to using fastboot, it can be a phone saver.

It has saved me from bricks over the years.

There is a simple guide to some basic commands HERE

I am sure there are others if you want to learn more of the commands.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
LMAO and ROFL as to the second part :)

and yes all my mods are working including xposed and compatible modules, looks good so far, theme as well working great, no issues at all, even feels a tiny bit more stable with the kernel i'm using but then i've been playing with it recently ;)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wtherrell:
Yes, but if I have to use a PC and the SDK every time to flash Google Image to update the rom, then I am out also. If I can flash both the Google Image and the mod via TWRP, however, then I'm still in.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
Google is releasing new images every month with security fixes. You will need to use your pc and fastboot to update when those new images drop then just flash cataclysm mod over that and your good to go.

Alternatively you should be able to flash one of the stock roms based off of the latest google image with twrp and then flash cataclysm mod over that if you don't want to use fastboot on your pc. Seems easy enough either way, and a more flexible way to run cataclysm imo.

Like say you don't want the bloat of a stock image. You can flash a debloated stock Rom and then cataclysm and have a debloated cataclysm.

Shout out to [MENTION=2305927]atlantis.[/MENTION] I really like what your doing here. Your roms and now mod have been untouchable in the stock Rom space imo. Keep it up
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
that would be easy on nexus 5 but stock vanilla roms for the 6 which are really stock and contain no other stuff that might interfere are sparse. to be honest i was looking for one and none of those few convinced me that it's really stock, they all appeared to be altered.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wrongway213:
This is the only thing about the new update procedure that I feel we as users should improve upon - atl4ntis gave us an awesome new method to flash this ROM, but I do feel debloating monthly will be annoying to many, and more importantly will end up with people having filles FCing in the background failing to fully uninstall things. I have seen mention of stock-lite made here a few times, but I am not familiar with it - I do think we as a community should figure out a more preferable method to deal with bloat before the next release.. other than that this is perfect (and a good reason for the newer guys to learn fastboot :p)

By no means is this a complaint - this new system is genius. I just think that we as users will want to tweak the process - I think atl4ntis has done quite enough.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
This is the truth. I couldn't find a 100% stock Rom either but ive seen several users post that cataclysm is working great over Xtrasmooth which is a good Rom in itself just no real customization. But having cataclysm mod flashed over it makes stock better than ever imo. I think the people that don't want to flash stock google images are not going to care if the Rom is stock google. With that said next version of Xtrasmooth may not work with the cataclysm mod. But that's to be seen.

I do think that if people are going to be rooting and roming their nexus they really need to be versed in the workings of fastboot and flashing google images.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wtherrell:
So just flash a stock Deodexed (optional) rom from Nexus 6 development forums, then Cata-mod-- all from TWRP? I presume factory reset before the flash? If that simple, I can glom onto that!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
Yes it is not the proper supported way to do it but should work fine. If it was me I wouldn't feel comfortable reporting bugs to the dev if it's done this way and the reports probably won't be accepted. Due to it not being the proper way. You may end up in a weird situation where your having a bug but don't know if it's cataclysm mod or your stock based Rom. And reporting the issue in either thread may get you no where.

I think odex should be fine also and possibly recommended as that is what stock is but probably doesn't matter.

All this said there may be things ie bugs that come up later due to not flashing over a 100% stock image as recommended. It's unknown and not fully tested like stock images are.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wtherrell:
Good points. I'll try it and if it goes wonky I'll fire up the pc and get latest SDK. Hope it doesn't come to that.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] atl4ntis:
Sorry for the OT but there's no dedicated thread yet.

I got one hour spare, if someone is interested to test N6P version please send a mail to cataclysmrom at gmail.com.

Let's not clutter this thread, thanks.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
I had reinstalled windows recently and didn't have the sdk installed anymore. So yesterday I had to set it all back up. It took under an hour from when I started till I was running latest cataclysm mod. Could probably of done it quicker if I wasn't inebriated.[emoji12] And I'm not sure if it's just me but entering command lines on a pc gets me excited. Always feel like a badass lol
[Nexus 6 Android Development] yudumcan:
Sorry am I getting this right, so every time google releases a new image, do you have to install that image from fastboot and install the mod over it? what about your settings etc?

---------- Post added at 11:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 PM ----------

I'm one of those people (idiots) having issues with fastboot as I 'm on mac and never done this before. When you said 'flash stock rom through TWRP' can you name one of the stock roms so I can flash it with TWRP and put the cataclysm mod on top.

cheers

EDIT: and do I backup my settings before installing new Mod after flashing every time and restore?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
Cataclysm settings can be backed up. Other phone settings will need to be re-set. Unless you just flash the system image from fastboot without wiping which some people have done. [MENTION=6916638]yudumcan[/MENTION]

Edit.. I see your post got bigger. You never got the images flashed on your mac? Was helping ya way earlier today. But ive seen at least 1 post saying cataclysm works great over Xtra smooth. I haven't tested it yet but if you just cannot get the stock images flashed I'd say start there.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] yudumcan:
I agree. This is an awesome rom but fastboot image after every release and flash mod on top and restore sounds very complicated to us , begginners.

What I was wondering was if there's a way to flash google's latest updates through TWRP then install mod on top?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Masteq:
Somebody's posted that, but I cannot uninstall any layers that I've applied. Is there any way to uninstall them manually or sth, or have I missed the post with the instructions how to do it? Cheers

EDIT//////

Found the solution myself :)

For the interested people: To manually remove installed layers, delete the contents of /system/vendor/overlay/ using file explorer of your choice and then reboot your phone. Simple as that :P Hope it helps until the proper fix comes out.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] atl4ntis:
you don't have to restore anything, you just keep flashing things over.

Really guys i don't get this.

You want the latest freaking android version but you don't want to flash things frequently. This makes totally no sense.

You want latest shiny version, you have to actually flash it you know.

If not you can keep what you currently have.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wrongway213:
That's actually not what I'm saying at all. I think it's a great idea to learn fastboot and there's a number of people on here who would be willing to help you/direct you to guides to show you how to use it simply. It is honestly not difficult. My point is, flashing system image you have to delete 40+ apps via TiBu/file manager.. that seems like something that could cause wonky behavior (forget to delete an app, deleting something you had a Layer on.. just unnecessary stupid mistakes people inevitably would make) and also is simply not very user friendly. I think most of the more "savvy" users on here who may even be happy to see a need to use fastboot commands are still going to dislike debloating - finding a more streamlined solution would be optimal for that. As for fastboot, what are you having trouble with? You can PM me if you'd like or I'd be happy to direct you to a simple guide and some sdk resources and such.

My post he responded to was not about fastboot or flashing anything - simply trying to pool heads together as users to see if there's a good debloat method for installation so we could streamline this for everyone.. I'd say you've done enough man. Thanks for the awesome new solution and continuing support!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] yudumcan:
No mate no luck I keep getting stuck in the middle of the process. I was just reading the post about Xtrasmooth I might give it a go and install the Mod on top.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tkalli:
I agree, just follow the simple directions given in several posts.

Doesn't take any longer than flashing a ROM and than having to restore it.

My two cents worth, and I am done now.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gerbig:
Don't worry about all the confused people, they'll figure it out eventually :)

What you've done is really amazing! I can't wait to run Cataclysm on my 5X!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] keda51:
at4ntis, don't let the whiners get to you! This is a developers forum... If some can't handle the simplistic, yet highly advanced new process then IMO they don't have the right to complain here.

Using ADB and Fastboot are rudimentary skills anyone that flashes ROMs needs to have... Period!

Thank you for this revolutionary update process and I'll be sending you beer/coffee money shortly!

Many thanks,

Flashaholic
