That's the correct wipe.

And please see [MENTION=2742144]oldman_58[/MENTION]'s post regarding SU. If that wasn't done, please flash that initially. With that, also be sure to read the changlelog before flashing. :)

It's just so sad to see so many people keep reporting issues that are discussed many times before, that are mentioned in faq or in the change log. In the Google+ community they are going to delete these kinds of posts and frankly i hope they are going to do that over here too. People that either don't have the time or don't want to put any effort in understanding and learning/investigating their self's shouldn't be using custom roms and kernels and just stick with stock.

Latest PN is absolutely solid. Thank you [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] for a awesome ROM that is stable, fast, and battery friendly! Also a big shout out to [MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION] for your detailed instructions, awesome FAQ, and continued help through the forum. Running your latest [MENTION=3685904]ak[/MENTION] kernel and words can not describe how great it is. All of you devs are second to none. Thank you for you time and services.

Could you shed any light on part of this situation?

The option in SuperSU is greyed out, which seems to mean I have systemless root installed, yet I still cannot find the /data/.supersu file. The only thing I have in /data/ that may or may not be related is a su.img file.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
That option is going to be greyed out anyways (since SuperSU can't be moved into the system partition if it is already there due to system root). You need to read the secondary text which will truly tell you what root you have.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] OhLyln:
If the install in system is greyed out it means you have system root.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sixgunmojo:
I'm sorry, this is a serious debate. Take your nerdy video game references elsewhere. ;)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kyzn:
Lol. I don't I will. The fact that you recognized the reference lends credibility to my argument. :D
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sixgunmojo:
If you are looking for it (/data/.supersu) with a file manager, make sure you have the option to show hidden files checked. Files that start with a '.' (aka dot files) are hidden files in android (and *nix).

[Nexus 6P Android Development] wvcadle:
Thanks. Before I go on to state what my problem was, would you let me know what the secondary text should say if one has system vs. systemless root?

On to my problem... Solid Explorer wasn't showing the .supersu file. It also has no option in settings to toggle seeing hidden files, so I guess users are screwed if they need to find one. I reinstalled Root Explorer and found the , supersu file, which, from what everyone is saying, tells me I have systemless.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sixgunmojo:
Fair enough.

Six out.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
System root: SuperSU is already a system app

Systemless root: Not currently possible in system-less mode (or something along those line).

Bloody brilliant update. Not even going to bother reading thru the posts, as my blood pressure is level and I cant handle the anger.

Was getting some seriously high data usage from Android OS in the last week, so decided nothing like a clean install to rid of whatever the hell was causing that (could not locate it), but it was using about 20MB/day (just on mobile.. another 30-40/day on wifi).

Anyways... July 8 is brilliant and my "awake" time is lower than Ted cruz's approval rating. Great, great stuff, [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION]

Sorry for my English,first time with nexus device i had samsung and lg sometime with root and custom ROMs and most with stock.

The most of the people here don't read the op or the changelog questions like i lose my root and l lost my wifi after clean install it's unacceptable,

Flash the bootloader with adb 3.52

Wipe all except internal storage

Flash rom the pure nexus gapps

Flash SuperSU 2.76 wipe dalvik,cache

Flash from twrp the new vendor image

I am a nube nexus beginner and 2 months ago i haven't any issue with the rom or kernel of any serious developer.

So it looks like it was missing a file that belongs in the framework APK. I cant remember, did you apply a framework layer from a theme?

The replacement file would (should?) be in that layer and Im wondering if it wasnt, or somehow it didnt get applied like it should have. Which lead the HBO GO app to throw a resource not found ("Resources$NotFoundException: File res/drawable-v21/list_divider_material.xml")
[Nexus 6P Android Development] troyolson92:
Can't for the life of me get layers working. Everything I try I get ton of FC's. Tried clean flash twice, I have systemless root, which is true in data/.su, busy box installed to system/xbin..... ugh Also tasker cant find screen_off_timeout which is a new one for me.... I'm gonna re-download just in case I have a corrupt download or something. Any other ideas are welcome. Without any layers installed and besides tasker, I don't have any other errors and everything seems to work fine including wifi.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] juancaperez2000:
Quick question the rom now support substratum theme engine instead off Layers right, or not yet?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] efan3719:
not yet. Just layers for now. Substratum isn't quite ready for mass consumption yet.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chrisexv6:
I had trouble with layers and systemless last night.

This seems to have worked:

Make sure you enable the option for "hide unused overlays" when starting Layers manager.

Apply all of your app-level layers (i.e. Clock, Gmail, etc), then do a HARD REBOOT (dont use the soft reboot option presented after applying them)

After the phone reboots, go back into layers manager and apply a framework layer. This time do a SOFT REBOOT (press the reboot option presented by Layers Manager)

Once the phone soft reboots, see if your framework applied correctly. If so, do another HARD REBOOT and you are done.

That process, although annoying, worked for me. Note that for an earlier test build (sometime between the official builds) that automatically installed SU as systemless, I DID NOT need to go through this process. Wondering if its the version of SuperSU making the difference.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] juancaperez2000:
Thanks!! Installing layers now.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bobbarker2:
You need to be on the latest release from Google which is X. Vendor and System, it also had a new version bootloader but that's optional.

Lost root access.. read the changelog, dev removed SuperSU from the ROM so the user can decide what they want.

Man I can see why devs get frustrated.. Bean wrote out some of the most detailed instructions for installation I've ever seen and so many people don't bother reading.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
The way it was explained to me was if you DO NOT HAVE the option to make SU system, it already IS system. IF you have the option to make it system SU is systemless.

I installed SU 2.76 as system root, and my option to make it system is greyed out, which follows the logic of what I was told...

[Nexus 6P Android Development] wvcadle:
Nathan said it is greyed out regardless of whether it is installed as system or systemless, because one cannot use SuperSU to install into system from the app. He said if it is installed as system, it will say so in the sub-text. If it is installed as systemless, the sub-text will say "Not (currently) available in system-less root mode", which I can verify since I am now systemless.

Previously ran latest stock.

Clean flash latest PN, PN gapps, Elite kernel, su (system).

Reinstalled my apps from Play.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
If you're using a dark theme like Domination, uninstall the USER UI layer or whatever specific layer is causing text to be hard to read.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
You can't update without flashing SU or you'll lose root as the NEW build does not include superSU.

While dirty flashing is quicker, it takes more time (usually) to fix or chase small issues that pop up due to left over file fragments, or issues that remain from the dirty flash.

I reco following THIS: I haven't seen any problem reports from those who followed it properly.

I followed these, and am already u and running: THANKS [MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION]

. Download the latest Pure Nexus zip, latest GApps (recommended ones linked, use others at your own risk), SuperSU (if you want root), and your custom kernel if you have one onto your phone.

2. Backup any important data.

3. Delete any Layers you have installed.

3a. deleted data/.supersu file (if you want system root)

4. Boot into TWRP and make a backup (remove any lock screen security before this, optional but HIGHLY recommended).

5. Wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik cache in Wipe > Advanced Wipe.

6. Flash Pure Nexus zip.

7. Flash GApps zip.

8. Update your vendor image (only need to do this once per build number).

9. Flash your custom kernel if you have one.

10. Flash SuperSU (optional). (see FAQs in 2nd post to choose systemless or system root)

11. Reboot and profit.

Clean flash (system, cache, data, dalvik) will not delete EVERYTHING, (internal data remains untouched)

I'm not sure how that will impact root since dirty flashing new PN (without root) over PN with root should overwrite old system files (which include root from old PN)...

It's your device, do as you please. But those who dirty flash receive no Rom support (first troubleshooting question: clean or dirty flash) and dirty flashers are on their own because of inherent issues that come with dirty flashing.

If I am off course here, there is plenty of talent in this thread to give the best advice.

While this is certainly true in many cases, if someone is willing to learn, I'm willing to share what knowledge I have in hopes of creating another XDA helper down the road, helping others become self sufficient, which I think that is a secondary ideal of XDA (the first being development of course)... But if someone just wants to complain, or ask for advice but never follows it, those folks I just let fade off into the night.

My first time in a Beans thread I was pretty new. The RCs and senior users in that thread really taught me a lot, and had patience since I was a sincere learner, after learning from them for a few months I was able and anxious to help others, which led me to becoming a RC.

So you never know how deep of an impact giving new users a kind push in the right direction can create, and how that might pay dividends to the XDA community down the road.

Okay. So regardless of which way it's installed it'll be blanked out.

There is subtext in that field. That is different depending on system or systemless. For me it says "Not (currently) available in system-less root mode)"

This means it's systemless. If it were system it would say something like 'Already system root' or something
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigknowz:
Layers

Simpler method is to flash all layers, reboot into recovery and then wipe cache / dalvik, solved all issues I've encountered aside from running out of space in the system folder, but that is more of an issue on my N7 2013. .

As far as systemless, make a script (systemless.sh) with the following

#!/system/bin/sh
echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu
echo BINDSYSTEMXBIN=false>>/data/.supersu

and the run in TWRP

Install unsu.zip

Terminal

sh systemless.sh

Install SuperSu

Reboot and Profit
[Nexus 6P Android Development] force70:

Clean flash - SuperSU - Franco Kernel - all good (very good)!

As this is the 2nd clean flash in a row - there are a couple of items that make clean flashing a bit of a pain:

- when adding my google accounts (I have several), they always default to sync settings I don't want (especially gmail). By the time I've been able to change the sync settings - quite a bit of sync has already taken place.

?? anyway to add an account with all sync settings OFF by default?

- Doing a clean flash means having to re-add all my Android Pay cards. While the process has become easier - it is still a pain to have to do - backup and restore doesn't help with this... any ideas?

- Waze almost always requires complete removal and re-add otherwise it FC's... is that typical behavior?

- Is there a way I can backup and restore my Pure Nexus Settings? (though I will say that having to go back through them helps me see what is out there and any new features!)

I will say the one thing I really like about clean flashing - is trying out new Arise/Exodus/Leviticus sound installs. Clean flashes always work better when making a jump in those releases.

I'm on Leviticus RC2 - and all is good.

reading the last few pages since my comment this morning makes me feel like i did smth wrong during DIRTY FLASHING since i have NO ISSUES at all.

wiped cache and art/dalvik cache and then this twrp queue like i always do when flashing with supersu added: newest purenexus rom, newest purenexus gapps, elementalx 1.19, supersu-stable-2.76 (system mode), xposed v85, product sans font dejavu backup font. then july vendor. havent updated radio and bootloader since february somewhen.

did i mention purenexus being my multirom primary?

dirty flash + xposed + multirom would open even more possibilities for bugs but wifi, root and everything else mentioned not working is working.

so am i doing smth wrong or the ones with the various issues? xD

Some of the questions, that have already been answered either in the update thread or [MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION] threads may remind some about the "Ant Movie" where a leaf falls across the ant path and the entire column of ants stop and begin screaming for help, then along comes the smart ant and simply points out the need to walk around the leaf...
