It's normal to have that message on start up. It was removed on the 5 and 6 since the message is related to dm-verity, a feature of the kernel which could be disabled. However, that is now built in to the bootloader so it can't be removed. Do NOT lock your bootloader with a custom recovery, you risk bricking your device. Leave it unlocked and ignore that message. You need to update your vendor image if you get a message when the phone first starts up saying it is out of date. It is recommended you keep your bootloader and radio up to date with the latest version. It doesn't have a built in ad blocker but I use Adaway without any issues. Just a heads up, some of this info is covered in the installation guide and FAQ in the second post of the thread if you have any further questions.

Is there a way to flash the radio and bootloader with out Fast boot on my pc? My computer is stupid slow. I'm looking for alternatives. If not then I'll just have to do it with pc.

Tried updating, was on a February build. Updated twrp, flashed ROM, gapps, vendor and elemtal x.

Couldn't find Sim card, and when it did, it couldnt activate cellular service. Setup on WiFi, and now my service has full bars with a R next to it. When through all cellular settings and its normal. Went to tools and info in pure nexus, tried every band, none worked except USA band, and ping tests fail, except I have LTE now with no connectivity. Help?

Also can't call out and Anyone who calls me gets sent to voicemail :/

Scroll to bottom for TL&DR :P

Beans,

I was able to troubleshoot MediaServer issues more. You're right about the "Internal Storage" being the culprit. I believe I found an additional reason behind it. I don't think it's just any random media files causing it...

Saturday I got my phone brand new. I did a clean flash of Pure Nexus. Everything's great.

I messed around with some layers themes. I was getting F/C on Camera. I didn't care at this point nor did I want to troubleshoot it. New phone, I said screw it, let me re-flash. I was getting AMAZING battery life.

I performed a clean flash of 3/8 build *without* wiping Internal Storage. Wiped everything else. I never put any music/video files on my device. After restoring/setting up my apps, For a few days I've been getting media server taking up 30 minutes to 2 hours sometimes. Talk about a buzzkill.

3/5 build released. I told myself let me see if I could squash this bug. I did a clean flash, wiping everything BUT internal storage again. Restored/set up apps. Same problem with media server. What the heck? I never even put anything on my internal storage.

Internal Storage only has everything my last flashes created on it, nothing on it placed by me...

Now here's the funky. When I reinstalled my Outlook App, I wasn't seeing the outlook default notifications in the list of notifications (the outlook ping when an email comes). I was a little pissed, I liked them due to the lack of notifications. I reinstalled, wiped cache, cleared data, nothing reinstalled the sounds.

After digging around, I found two folders in the root of internal storage; Notifications and Ringtones. They had my outlook sounds!! But why wasn't outlook seeing them?

I deleted those folders, and reinstalled outlook one more time. Outlook now re-created the folders, and they come up in the list of notifications to choose from!

This is when I realized, if there's a pre-existsing folder on Internal Storage an app created from a previous ROM, it *may* have trouble reading/writing to the folder. Which technically, there's a bunch of pre-existing folders.

I immediately backed up my DCIM/Music/Download folders, and wiped away internal storage, as well as ART/Dalvik Cache. Rebooted, and let android re-create the folders it needs for my apps installed. I then placed my music/pics/downloads back on the phone.

It's been two days now, and no more MediaServer issues.

TL&DR,

I will always back up important folders, then wipe Internal Storage upon doing a fresh factory install. Pre-existing folders caused my MediaServer issues in some way, shape, or form. My best guess is the Android folder on the root of Internal Storage, considering that contains a bunch of app information when an app installs. Maybe the apps can't read their own folder it created after doing a clean flash.

My 2 cents. Hope this helps some of you!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chrisexv6:
You arent the only one....I made a few posts yesterday about the issues I was having, when Ive *never* had any layers issues before.

I was using Magpie Layers Theme. My normal process would be to apply the 3 uppercase FRAMEWORKS along with Framework, Settings, and SystemUI layers. Reboot from Power menu, then install layers to the individual apps I have.

On this latest build, with the latest version of Magpie, this no longer worked without causing tons of FCs on reboot.

What I found did work:

Apply only Framework, Settings, SystemUI. Reboot.

Apply the 3 uppercase FRAMEWORKS, Reboot.

Apply any non-application specific layers (i.e. settings cards, etc), reboot.

Apply application-specific layers, reboot.

After a ton of reboots and trial and error of what to install and when, thats the process that ended up working for me. Im about to create a nandroid of all of this because it was such a huge PITA to get up and running.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] hochoch:
I had this problem yesterday on the previous build. Saw that it kept having trouble on 2-3 apps. So I just skipped those and the rest backed up fine.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] gautamr9:
I am noticing one strange Ui issue. Even after turning off bluetooth, I still see the bluetooth connected icon on the statusbar. I can confirm that it is only UI related because my bluetooth headset does disconnect.

Could you please look into this in the next build.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kench33:
I tried that and am still having that problem. Never had this issue before so I'm not sure what's going on, but I've never tried backed anything up on this phone until yesterday

I'll have to check. I always look away when it force closes
[Nexus 6P Android Development] force70:
Your vendor is of course out of date, maybe flashing the current version would be a good idea ?

This has only been asked and answered like 100 times in the last few days. Please use the FAQ and/or search button before asking a question next time sir.

Thanks a lot kantjer,

have updated now, is running smooth!

have forgotten to download the newest gapps (3-15-16). have installed the last one (2-3-16). It´s ok (i know they will update) or are there any major changes?

Thanks
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Unforgivenlife1986:
No need to update gapps, they will auto update within the play store app.

How is everyone's battery life? I keep having this weird thing happen where I'll VERY quickly lose 2%. Looking at battery stats I see a vertical line every now and again. Nothing is really killing the battery.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kantjer:
Not entirely true, gapps packages also contain core stuff that won't be updated via Google Play.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] thloe:
Can i flash dirty gapps or better all clean?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kantjer:
You should be able to dirty flash

make a nandroid so you are safe incase anything goes wrong.

I don't use PN GAps so not 100% sure.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] swapgut:
That stinks. Appreciate you letting us know what you've found. It's surprising that our clean-flash stock PN setups got this serious issue. The way Beans does know a lot of what goes on in the thread (evidenced by when he answers twenty posts at once!) he might have noticed already. I haven't used tib in years, I'll see if what you did works for me. Irregardless the first week of next month there will probably be a new build.

Have a good day shantaram77.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kipue:
Weird, I've used Magpie and applied everything "barbarian style" and no issues.

Did you try to remove the vendors folder to make sure all is clean?

Also I did a clean install of Pure Nexus, maybe you did a dirty flash?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chrisexv6:
Clean flashed everything, including the new vendor.

Its really odd, a lot of people chimed in saying they've had no problem. The dev of Magpie said he had no problem. But I couldnt get it to work "barbarian style" like you did.

In fact at some point I was applying layers and rebooting and getting a solid square block for an app drawer "icon".

I really wish I could explain why I was having such issues, the only thing I can do is explain my process to see if we could find differences:

Advance wipe everything except internal storage

Flash Pure Nexus 3/15

Flash Banks Gapps (also tried while using Pure Nexus Gapps and it didnt cure it)

Flashed system or system-less root at this point, had problems either way

Flashed vendor image to make sure it was clean

Boot into ROM, setup my Google account so I could access playstore

Installed Layers Manager, Magpie from PlayStore.

Made sure to "Hide Unused Overlays" in Layers Manager, then attempted to apply the FRAMEWORK colors, SystemUI, Framework and Settings layers all at once.

On reboot I was either getting FCs immediately (from SystemUI and NFC), or last night for some reason I just started getting that blocky app drawer icon and then the Layers Manager would FC [I think last night I was initially using Pure Nex gapps then switched over to Banks]

The only way I found to get it working was apply 3 framework overlays at a time (either the color ones or the actual Base overlays), reboot and then apply the application specific overlays.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] psychomaniac189:
same. i use stock kernel, dont use greenify, and I do use CMTE. I dont use xposed either because all it did was cause me problems on my nexus 6. Can you modify doze within purenexus? or were you talking about something else? im asking because i used to use naptime by Francisco Franco but it just seemed to cause me problems. Another thing that helped was that i follow beans on pushbullet and he posted about that root issue (no su appearing in settings after dirty flashing) and that was the only issue i had but it was easily fixable. love following this project on pushbullet.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nds850:
I have the same issue. My battery life was great before.

No special wakelocks and according to Gsam Battery Monitor Android OS is what drains most battery, which doesn't tell me much.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] cyates:
BeyondPod unlock key was the cause in my case. If I don't select it for backup it works just fine.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] wvcadle:
Okay. I'm offering a reward to anyone with the ability to make me a working flashable zip of the AOSP keyboard used in Pure Nexus. It's different than AOSP keyboards found in other ROMs. I already spend at least half my time on PN (it's my main go to while I play around with others). I would offer at least 10USD, potentially more depending on how fast it was done.

Any takers?

No matter which vendor image I flash, it still notifies me every reboot that my vendor is out of date. I have tried clean flashing the latest version of Pure Nexus but had no luck. Any ideas?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Soulfly3:
"no matter which" shouldnt be part of the discussion. There is only ONE vendor that works with the latest ROM.

Ensure you're on the latest ROM... and then, I'll allow you to describe EXACTLY how you're installing the vendor, and which one you're installing... and we'll tell you if it's right or not.

Way too many variables here for me to just be guessing

Im running the March 15th build of Pure Nexus. I tried flashing the MMB29V_vendor.img by slecting "Install" in twrp and then "install images", I selected that specific vendor img and chose to flash the vendor.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Einwod:
You are not flashing the correct vendor image. When you flash the correct image, there will be no warning message. What version of Pure Nexus are you attempting to flash? Are you sure it is the most up to date version?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Soulfly3:
You need to read the OP and install instructions... You're not flashing the right vendor file

Hi all,

I'm new to the Nexus 6p (coming from the amazing Nexus 5) and I was wondering if someone could explain, in layman's terms, what the difference is between the two versions (CMTE and the regular one).

I would like to be properly informed before I make a choice between those two. I do not care much for themes, all I'm interested in is stability. I think Nexus Pure already looks amazing out of the box.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] jesssiii:
I must apologize to you, I claimed no issues with my clean install of latest with the newest PureNexus GApps. I failed to attempt adding a new event, assuming because it all appeared to sync, all was well. It was not. Deleting the calendar app and rebooting then downloading from Play worked, thanks.

Just rename /vendor/etc/audio_effects.config and reboot.

I mean add dot bak (.bak) to the end.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Do you see the huge section right at the top of the FAQ in the second post (which you have been linked to) that says "Current Pure Nexus Information"? The one that says MHC19J is the current build and you need the MHC19I vendor image (which I linked directly for you)? That's where you will find this information in the future so you can avoid an extremely common question.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DancinJack:
Just give the new build a shot man. It's a better build regardless if those games work or not.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] FuzzyRamen:
Bluetooth settings

So as of the new firmware MHC19I, Bluetooth earbuds/headphones volume controls are removed. So my question is there any way to replace the option back on the ROM itself? Using Jaybird x2 if anybody was wondering on 3/15 CMTE ROM.

SO, big update. I went and got a new sim today, and guess what?

Nothing, exact same issue. Look below, someone else is having the identical problem as mine now.

Brand new SIM from November, I tried anyways as I'm familiar with doing this with contacts, no difference.

Tried the contacts, got a new sim too, same same.

I do have a Nandroid, of course! I'm probably going to try that today, I need a phone. I never turn off the fingerprint security when I backup because I've never had to restore, so now restoring it won't work because of that though right?

If my Nandroid doesn't restore right, this will probably be my next step.

Thanks, that's what I'm leaning towards. I also always keep the current ROM I'm on and the previous version of it.

You aren't alone, I've been dealing with this issue for 2 days now. I could get incoming calls yesterday but now it's all directly to voicemail. Looks 100% the same as your error, I didn't flasha custom Kernel though.

You aren't alone.

Yeah, using the Fi Dialer in OP for whatever reason it is the trigger.

Like I said to you earlier, it's not the SIM card... Nandroid will likely fail you as well.

Download the NEWEST image from google, CHECK the MD5 to make sure there's no errors... and clean flash from scratch.

Guys, I need some urgent help.

I updated to the the 15/03 build from the 08/03, and I also updated the bootloader and radio.

However, now my phone can't make calls, it can only receive. When I try to make a call, it tries to dial and then just says "call ended".

I tried flashing the old radio back and that didn't solve it.

What could be causing this?

I'm in the UK, on EE carrier.

Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RED ZMAN:
And you would be the 3rd person I've seen post with this same issue.

Now that I restored my backup and deleted the lockscreensettings.db file, I'm back 100% functional.

So, I wonder what the issue is. Time to start looking at the MD5's and such.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Einwod:
From this guide, section 4.

Note: If you happened to forget to remove lockscreen security (PIN/Pattern/Fingerprint) before creating your backup, and you cannot get into your OS after restoring, you can do the following to fix the issue. Boot into TWRP and use the built in file manager to delete /data/sytem/locksettings.db. This should be enough to get you into your OS again. If it isn't you can also try deleting /data/system/locksettings.db-shm and /data/system/locksettings.db-wal. If this still doesn't fix your issue you can delete /data/system/gatekeeper.password.key and /data/system/gatekeeper.pattern.key.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RED ZMAN:
Thanks, that's what I found and did, worked well.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] brbbX:
and how about the problem with not making calls? I don't have a nandroid backup :(
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Spartan117H3:
The new build requires more work to get to and back from. Since the issue was on 2 builds already, I assume something changed. I would have accepted if you said, "maybe the games will work," but regardless if they work or not? That's like saying, just try the new build, it has new stuff, even if you can't use your phone to do what you want.
