I will try to make a new backup tomorrow and try.so basically when it boot to temporary twrp I disconnected the USB cable and then manually flash the twrp image? Then once recovery stick I can try to flash super user or magisk with it?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Bad--Dog:
..

I didn't even disconnect it when I did it because it wasn't registering it as being connected at that point

Yes after that I flashed magisk and everything stuck
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dirtyjersey856:
Yeah it's been happening to me as well on both 6 and 6P. Just grabbed the img and flashed it once temp TWRP boots. Been doing it that way for months.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kinggame992000:
Do today I tried that. The boot image still not sticking. On a side note. I check only recovery when it ask me all the option to flash right? The other 3 are bootloader and some other stuff.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kinggame992000:
So I finally got this thing to work and rooted my phone. So here a run down list of what u should do and what to use.

1. Download the latest version of TWRP(currently 2.2 I think) - superuser- magisk. So download these 3 first and place them in your phone.

2. Fire this toolkit up. And open the advanced utility tool window.

3.with ur phone connected. Use the "boot to custom recovery" on the top right corner.

4. Once u in recovery mode. If it ask u if u want to let it modify or not then let it modify. Install ur TWRP imagine(after it done. Do not hit reboot systems on that screen. U need to go back to the main menu on TWRP and go to boot. Then boot back into recovery.)

5. Once back. Go to wipe > advances> cache( just cache and nothing else).

6. Now go back and install superuser then magisk zip. This should be able to get u root.

Note: couple times before I try this I fail because the recovery won't stick. But after a bit of Google I found out that if u don't flash magisk. It won't stick. Which is why the reboot back into recovery was necessary. To install superuser and magisk to ensure it working. (keeping the cable on at all time seem to help).

Another thing is the most simple yet I think we all might have missed is when u connect the phone to ur pc. Make sure u pull down the notifications and click on the one that said it charging or something and change it to "file transfer".

This is a I could come up with. Good luck rooting ur phone. Let me know if u succeed.

And please remember don't reboot your phone after u finish install the recovery first time. Go back into main menu and reboot back into recovery again. If not ur recovery won't stick.

P/s. I forgot to mention that my bootloader is unlocked from back in 7.1.2 when use this tool to root it. So make sure ur bootloader is unlocked. If not. I recommend just go back to nougat and unlock ur bootloader. And continue. Not sure if this tool can unlock bootloader on oreo or not.

Same here. Camera doesn't work.

---------- Post added at 11:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 PM ----------

Since the new build is not available in the list, which Android build did you select?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chubby65:
No it's not available in the list you first have to download the image from Google

Then install as an upgrade flash twrp and root with superSU 2.61

All working perfectly
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Elemenopee:
I understand that. I upgraded and rooted and everything. What I meant is which device should be selected as my current device in Wug's app when I root since the latest build is not in the selection. I don't know whether camera is broken (and flashlight) is because I selected the wrong build in that list when I rooted or because I didn't wipe user data when I upgraded.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chubby65:
Nexus 6p and any build mate
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mrjeffery:
I'm trying to sideload the OTA using this tool but end up seeing something about EMMC:/dev/block/platform...has unexpected contents followed by "E:Error in sideload/package.zip (Status 7)" and installation aborts.

Any ideas what's happening? I've downloaded the OTA from different locations but get the same error when trying to flash each time. I'm unlocked and rooted.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] srqrob:
Most likely due to a mismatch in your system partition due to rooting.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mrjeffery:
Do you know if there's a way around it to enable sideloading the OTA?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] srqrob:
The procedure has been explained in this thread but it involves obtaining and flashing back the original image so you're back to unrooted stock with stock recovery and boot loader, accepting the OTA update and then re-rooting. I keep hoping (likely against hope) that someone will figure out a way to accept these OTA updates ignoring the mismatch in system. Maybe not going to happen.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Elemenopee:
Sorry. How are you able to root when selecting "Any Build"? The toolkit does not allow rooting with this selection.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Elemenopee:
Selecting MDB08M when rooting breaks Camera for me.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chubby65:
Before I flashed the rom i put superSU 2.61 and twrp recovery onto internal phone memory

Then download the rom from Google to your pc pick the no wipe option once the rom flashed boot into twrp temporarily flash both the twrp image and superSU you put to your internal phone memory earlier

Reboot into twrp recovery and wipe cache and dalvik

Reboot and your done

I'm going to be installing Cataclysm MOD as soon as I get my 6P.

Going forward - what would the steps be using Wug's NRT - to install an updated system image - and re-applying the Cata ROM?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chispas117:
Wow this worked for me the first time! Updating to 6.0.1 was a breeze with this tool, good work..man
[Nexus 6P Android Development] luigidk:
Let me rephrase this...

What option in NRT will I be using to upgrade Android releases when they are available?

Also - is there a systemless root option in NRT yet?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] force70:
Not sure about systemless yet, but in the OP there is a FAQ and a video on how to use the toolkit.

Instead of asking "how to" perhaps give those a look and go from there.

As goes for any thread reading the first few posts is always a good idea before asking any questions :thumbup:

[Nexus 6P Android Development] luigidk:
Darn - apologies - I checked out the FAQ and didn't see much there... so asked the questions w/o checking out the video

I've used WUG to unlock and root my phone previously (N5) - and got it to where I'm using TWRP for all my flashing - works great. Since I won't be rooting with NRT (I'll flash SUPERSU 2.6+ later) - It looks like all I need to do is unlock the device, install recovery (TWRP) - and then use TWRP going forward to flash my custom ROM (CATA MOD) and custom kernel, and SUPERSU... so there are no 1-step options since I'm going with systemless root...

My remaining ?? - is - Once I'm on CATACLYSM via the MOD, when a new android version is released - I'm unclear as to how to upgrade that from NRT? Would that be an OTA Sideload? Also - what about a applying a new boot and radio - didn't see those in the videos...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] force70:
Im sure wug will update once new firmware is released and then you can either flash the bootloader, radio, and even system .imgs (and more) from the toolkit one by one or just download the entire firmware package and flash the entire thing.

Then flash twrp and in twrp flash SU.

Then you would apply the mod.

For example i got lazy today to use fastboot so i updated to the 6.0.1. Bootloader and radio using the kit. Dont really need anything else.

Rebooted to twrp and full wiped then flashed the appropriate vendor and then a 6.0.1 pre rooted non encrypting factory based rom...so easy.

This is a forum questions are asked all the time you don't like it go to Google +. Guess what they ask questions there too hmmmm weird.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] force70:
Not trying to be a smart ass at all, just a friendly reminder for you and others who read this to know that it never hurts (its actually xda rule #1) to search/ read the OP and/or FAQ if posted in any thread before asking a question.

People here these days (not pointing fingers at you) seem to expect to be spoonfed even the most simple information..over and over and thats not acceptable.

As per xda rule #1 and I quote:

"1. Search before posting.

Use one of our search functions before posting or creating a new thread. Whether you have a question or just something new to share, it's very likely that someone has already asked that question or shared that news."

If people do not like the rules, as you say they can go elsewhere :D

Oh and your welcome sir as i did actually answer your question.

What i dont know is if Wug is planning on updating for this to be used with a MAC, the kits been around for years and he hasnt change that aspect yet but who knows.

Maybe drop him a PM and see?

WugFresh, First of all Thank You!. I used this last month to unlock and root my Google Nexus 6P and got it running great on Verizon even though it isn't white listed yet. I am running Android 6.0 and Build MDB08L. I keep getting an OTA 6.01 message. I have been reading through this thread and it seems that I can now use the tool to move to the new Android 6.01??? However, I am a bit confused on the steps. Would it be possible to spell it out? Should I Flash Stock and Unroot first?

Keep up the great work.

Dave
[Nexus 6P Android Development] luigidk:
I haven't seen any more on the possibility of using NRT for a systemless root... I've been using SUPERSU 2.6+ for a few weeks and no issues... perhaps if we also had the option to run these commands for 'fixing' any incompatability issues with systemless root:

mount -o remount,rw /system

touch /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su

mount -o remount,ro /system

- so would be great to have a single menu for: unlocking, installing TWRP and flashing systemless root!

I've also been looking to better understand what option to run to update a new system image (e.g.: 6.0.0 to 6.0.1) that does everything I need in one step (this may already be there - I'm just not 100% sure which option does just that by itself)?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] force70:
Yes you can, i got lazy and used the kit instead of fastboot this time.

As i explained a few posts up i simply flashed the BL and modem then rebooted to twrp and flashed a rooted stock rom.

Easiest update ever.

Of course you can flash the entire firmware package easily enough also but i didnt see the need for that personally.

Problem rooting

first of all, big thanks to Wug for the Toolkit - i used it with my GNex and N5, and it's phenomenal! Got the 6P today, and unlocked the bootloader, no problem. However, when i did the root and install twrp procedure, i got a message on the bootscreen that "your device is corrupt and may not work properly." it then goes into the bootanimation, but never actually boots up. i tried searching around, and found others with prior Nexii that had similar issue, but were told just to ignore it. however, i can't get mine to actually boot up after this.

What did i screw up???

EDIT: i was going too quickly, and i didn't download SuperSU v2.62 first - could that be the issue??

FURTHER EDIT: nevermind, i got it to work. i downloaded the new SuperSU and everything worked fine. Also, now that i think about it, i think i may have hit the "install Superuser" when i was in recovery. once again, going too fast and not properly following directions.

in essence, i'm not very bright, and you can just ignore me and move along... :)

Hey guys. I upgraded using the toolkit to 6.0.1 but now seem to have lost recovery. I've tried flashing twrp and stock using the toolkit, but there seems to be a problem with the permrecoverysigned zip. When flashing twrp, this zip isn't in the ready to flash folder.

The log says its pushing it, but it never arrives, and twrp doesn't automatically reboot.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] CenFlo:
It's something to do with SU, at least that's what I'm thinking. I've tried Wug's as well as manually and both end up in a bootloop at the splash screen.

I was already on the latest image, unlocked, installed TWRP and anytime I install SU (moved it over and installed) it's the same result. Each time I've had to flash back to stock to try again and the result is the same.... UGGHHH.

Did you use the beta SuperSU or the 2.42 version? I tried the non-beta and it borked my phone, I had to go download the stock image from google (over 900mb) and re-flash that in order to make it boot, which kind of ruined my day.

Just received my Nexus 6P Gold and updated it to MMB29P build. When downloading the Toolkit everything went well, started it up but it doesn't have support for the latest MMB29P so I don't think I can use it yet. Also when looking for SuperSU it couldn't automatically download it, it made me manually download the zip for SuperSu v2.65. Just thought you would like to know this, and if you could give any ETA on when both issues would be resolved? Thanks a lot and thank you for all your continued hard work on making this process easy.

I think you can still unlock the bootloader, but I would use fastboot commands to do that and install twrp.
