It apears so first you'll need to go get the system.img file from Google https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en

Unzip that file on the phone until you get the system.Img file, I'm not sure the exact command i.e "fastboot flash system system.img" is what i use on my pc but for mac i believe it is the same minus "system" so it would be "fastboot flash system.img" if I'm understanding youbcorrectly you just don't know what command you need to use ? Right? . you can try using flashify, your system must be on mr58r which the is the prerequisite for flashing the November 15th update once your system of updated then you can flash the update like normal.

So in short you just be on 58r before you flash the update for November 15th

If that doesn't work you'll have to do it with your computer try using this video on order to get your adb set up

Even better since your using a Mac you can just drag the system.img file from your downloads folder right into the terminall window boom easy peezy drag and drop you don't even need to know the command
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GeekMcLeod:
For anyone, like me, who only reads the latest comments after an update. I highly recommend reading the actual update post. It helped me greatly in understanding what was done and how to update it. Reading posts without reading this one made it very confusing. Can't wait to see what this does to the rom community.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ben_pyett:
No, you just need to flash the system image, not recovery. Just follow the instructions provided]

After you've the new rom up and running, simply use a root file manager, I used es explorer to delete which ever apps from system>app you want by deleting their directory's and apk.

unfortunately not, flashify cannot help with flashing a system image file, it only does boot and recovery.

---------- Post added at 04:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 AM ----------

I'd say follow instructions (ie flash system image and apply mod),

Then fully boot rom and then return to recovery and flash your kernel.

If your chosen kernel isn't permissive, ie like me Franco which is enforcing. You'll need to change mode after you boot with your new kernel to ensure that settings doesn't FC.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] phr0zen:
I must be doing something wrong. I wiped, did a clean install of the October stable build, in addition to flashing the mod at the same time. This caused bootloops.

I wiped again, installed the stable build... Works fine. Went back into TWRP, flashed the mod... Bootloops.

Can someone explain where I'm messing up?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GeekMcLeod:
Installation:

Flash stock system Factory image MRA58R. (fastboot flash system system.img)

Flash Cataclysm Mod MRA58R over.

Optional flash Supersu 2.52.

Optional flash custom kernel, it needs to be permissive.

You seem to be installing the mod over top of the latest stable version. You need to flash stock firmware and then flash the mod. My post at the top of this page quotes the original update post which helped me understand what was going on and how to update it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
It is in the OP. You need to flash the system image of the latest factory image from Google in fastboot then install the mod in TWRP. You can't flash it over the October 27th release.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] BxingFetus:
In the custom kernel compatibility, blu-spark 50 doesn't like to boot either way. Franco I have running is good(enforcing).
[Nexus 6 Android Development] galaxy s4 nutjob:
I got it up and running testing modules now
[Nexus 6 Android Development] phr0zen:
I see that now... Jesus its been a long time since I've messed with adb and fastboot. Don't remember what I'm doing :/
[Nexus 6 Android Development] starcms:
atl4ntis, got this up and running in less than 10 minutes. Working flawlessly. Simply amazing what you've been able to accomplish here! Keep up the great work!!!

[Nexus 6 Android Development] ben_pyett:
There will be the equivalent of them for each further update, cataclysm should be thought of as ultimately only a delta update or mod to the stock Google image.

When Google releases a new version of the stock image, ie puts up a new build number on its image page, then we'll probably need to reflash the stock image and then re-apply the latest delta/update.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] paroulis:
After the last update, I have continuous restarts...why?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ben_pyett:
Flashed Google stock image + mod?

Are you using the kernel which comes with the mod or another?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] yudumcan:
I think my problem is I don't really know what all those commands do when I enter them on my mac how they effect on my phone? I already have unlocked bootloader I can't nderstand how to actually install the google's stock firmware onto the phone.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mangusZen:
Hi guys, is the kernel included in the cataclysm mod system write enabled? I remember stock kernel had this limitation.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tylerdurden83:
Besides simply being blown away by this news, and congratulating your talent which I really admire and take inspiration from, I was wondering if now it'd be possible to include Nexus devices you don't own more simply. My Nexus 10 is at your disposal ehehhe :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ironjon:
In case anyone missed it, there is a mod that change SELinux state to permissive in any kernel.

You can find it at ElementalX thread

Here you have: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952602503
[Nexus 6 Android Development] yudumcan:
After hours and hours of reading how to install google's stock firmware back to my Nexus 6 and be able to run the new mod version of the rom I failed, I failed a lot of times. I followed at least 4 tutorials and a lot of help from here (thanks to all you guys). I couldn't install the stock firmware and I decided to stick with my Cataclysm 27 Oct release then realised won't be getting any updates. I just followed another tutorial and it didn't work as well. Now I'm going back to Pure Nexus and hope no other developers switch to this new 'mod' thing in the future and make you install the stock images.

It's probably a very easy task for you to do but I couldn't handle it.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to the developer for all his efforts and this is probably the best rom ever I just unfortunately couldn't make the new method work. And everyone here thanks for all your help too.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ihancioglu:
Guys, how is the performance If you compare deodexed with odexed? AFAIK odex systems are better on performance.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] arifqur:
First you have to un-zip the stock image and then again un-zip until you get the un-zipped system.img and then proceed to flash via fastboot flash system.img

---------- Post added at 01:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 PM ----------

No the cataclysm mod kernel is not write enabled
[Nexus 6 Android Development] isaakmg:
I used.....

Wipe data, system And cache....

Flash mod + flash ROM 6.0 odex (Xtrasmooth_mra58r) + flash mod + flash Ex Kernel 3.06 + flash permissive.

Is more easy And every work fine.....

[Nexus 6 Android Development] yudumcan:
That where the problem starts, I can see the system.img file but don't really know how to flash the system.img. I've been dragging flash all to terminal and keep getting that error.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] arifqur:
First extract the system.img from the zip and then drag and drop the system.img on the terminal window and do not do it with the complete zip or you'll get that error
[Nexus 6 Android Development] yaatzek:
Guys please correct me if I'm wrong, in order to "dirty" flash the mod over latest cata I need to:

- manually flash system partition from factory image,

- flash mod through recovery

Or is it safer/better to wipe data through twrp than system and mod?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] yudumcan:
My phone in fastboot mode I dragged the system.img file to terminal window and this is what I'm getting now:

-bash: /Users/xxxx/Desktop/shamu-mra58r/image-shamu-mra58r/system.img: Permission denied

I'm really starting to lose interest
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ihancioglu:
I just do as follows

1 - flash stock factory image with flash-all method.

2 - flash TWRP

3 - flash CataclysmMOD

4 - wipe factory reset

Device is in encrypted mode. I also tried wipe factory reset again to make sure. But it is still on encrypted mode. Do we need to install SuperSU to stay device on unencrypted?

Thanks in advance [MENTION=3913401]atl4ntis[/MENTION],
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mangusZen:
This is bad.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] suku_patel_22:
Assuming you have system.img in c:\temp, and phone booted to bootloader, this is the command

1. fastboot flash system c:\temp\system.img

2. After step 1 is complete, reboot to recovery using volume buttons to scroll and power to select

3. Flash Cataclysm mod zip in recovery

4. Flash your own custom kernel with permissive SELinux (optional)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] yudumcan:
thanks mate, but I'm on a mac and believe me I tried everything written on these forums. I'm 2 minutes away from flashing back to pure nexus
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
Did you see my post in the factory images thread? I linked you to a Mac tutorial for the nexus 5 that should be able to get you going.(steps are the same as for the N6) This is something you need to know how to do if your going to be rooting and rom'ing your nexus 6. This is your fix of anything ever goes wrong and you get a soft brick.

Yeah I got this one too, I tried it didn't work. I managed to find a youtube video I tried his method but now I get 'error: device offline' message.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
yes i am and works flawlessly. your error hints to the wrong version while that's hinting, not saying must be that. just in 9 out of 10 cases that message pops up that is the reasons. since you don't mention your rom i can't tell which would be the right one but currently the choice is huge LOL
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ihancioglu:
[MENTION=3913401]atl4ntis[/MENTION],

Is it possible to create backup which files will be update as a flashable zip while installing Cataclysm Mod in case turn back to original state of rom to get OTA?

Because we need to download whole factory image If we need to restore original state to get OTA.

What do you think?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
I'm sorry I can't help more with the details. I don't have a mac so it can't do much more. Hope you get it figured out. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than me will know.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] yudumcan:
Now I keep getting this error halfway through: http://imgur.com/85TMELV
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
Are you using the flash all command? I've always needed to flash each IMG individually for it to work without error.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
there are no drivers needed for macs and it's an absolute working out of the box experience when following the tutorials. to have it not working it's needed to NOT FOLLOW the many tutorials on either xda, reddit and/or android central plus many private smaller blogs with perfect tutorials. to be honest, when following those tutorials step by step it never did NOT work in 6 years and whenever it did not work it was "mea culpa" an oversight in the command line which can be copy pasted btw. so as you say, over the last few pages all was said, all the necessary input + google search + xda search will make it work for everyone. hence .......... !
[Nexus 6 Android Development] arifqur:
Please unzip the system image and in the terminal type fastboot flash system.img.

The batch script will not flash the unzipped files
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Hen Ry:
an aroma installer for updates would be very good - also to remove unnecessary gapps from the stock rom (reinstalling)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Droidphilev:
Hi,

Hmmm... i did:

-downloaded MRA58R from Google

-fastboot flash system system.img

-flashed mod

-flashed supersu 2.52

it hangs at bootanimation. (waited for 10 minutes)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] isaakmg:
Is more easy....Wipe data + system + cache....

Flash mod + flash any ROM 6.0 in this base odex + flash mod again + flash ExKernel + Permissive.zip

[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
that what you describe is a clean install and it's a lot more work, so don't say it's easier.

it's not necessary to clean install, i definitely installd twice dirty once for testing and later last night the official releas after having reverted back to last nandroid in the mean time due to the fact that i tested with stock kernel but have and want elementalX. no issues at all.

unfortunately that does not solve [MENTION=571385]isaakmg[/MENTION] problem, no idea to be honest, revert to latest working nandroid and try again and yes you should wipe both cashes and then fetch and provide a log if possible.

EDIT: and yes, 10 minutes is not totally out of range, unfortunately i never check my watch but it can indeed take a while :)

Yes, I have tried to get this right, I am not that familiar with fastboot and It just does not work. I kept trying for 4 hour last night, I managed to flash the system.img and the Mod, but I get an error with device is corrupt when it boots up. There are so may different versions of how to do this now, that I am completely lost, so I wnt back to Pure Nexus and flashing in recovery, but it is a shame cause i love this ROM.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] andrewhahalee:
Coming from stock MRA48R (rooted). Flashed ROM, flashed beta update. Restart. Bootloop.

Should the latest update be dirty flashed after I run the stable release first?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nekbreak:
This Mod runs funtastic on Extrasmooth. Many thanks for your work!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] starcms:
This is unbelievable. Instead of thanks, praises of atl4ntis, and the incredible thing he has accomplished here, we have 20+ pages filled with people complaining, wining, saying they are switching ROMs, etc, all because they don't know how to fastboot flash the stock system image from Google.

Seriously? That is the first thing you should be able to do before flashing any roms or anything to your device, so you can restore it if stuff hits the fan.

atl4ntis, please don't lose hope and leave xda like countless other amazing devs due to things like this. What you have done here is nothing short of extraordinary, and if some are too ignorant to be able to flash an image provided by Google, they are the ones that don't belong.

Keep up the excellent work my man!!

Edit: Btw, by following the instructions provided, I went from wiping clean to booting up in less than 10 minutes.

The message "That your Device is corrupt" is because of the stock kernel. It is a Google thing and does not mean anything.

Don't worry, you have correctly flashed.

The message can be removed by flashing a custom kernel like Elementalex

The problem with this is that there's no icon for SuperSu since it is in settings but overwritten by Cataclysm. You can only open SuperSu by it's dialer code. Lite+Cataclysm seems to work ok though.

How create a flashable script to remove some system apps (already on google play) after flash each new factory image (eg fastboot flash system). It's the only drawback of this cataclysm mode.

You spammed thread honestly even with things that have nothing to do with cataclysm. Everything is written in 3-4 lines on first page. Who dont know to flash, there is google. Basic thing aren't learn at XDA. No wonder that developers are fleeing from here.

You simply go into TWRP, restore, and then only tick "data" before restoring
