Got the OTA yesterday! The ambient light is definitely working a lot better :)
[Nexus 6P General] subhani:
Just got my OTA here in London, UK! About time!

So the first thing that I noticed was the colours were much punchier. Like it used to be. So I needed to check black levels and the black levels test YouTube video linked in another thread works flawlessly. Black is black, jus like it's supposed to be!

Now to test ambient display.

UPDATE: Ambient display actually works now. Not the best but the fail rate is MUCH lower now. Bravo! Finally I can bother enabling it, LOL.

Got the update. My Bluetooth is totally fixed. Before the update, during initiating calls in my car, I wasn't able to hear the ringing, the phone part is now totally working. Much better than my iPhone 6. And same thing about the streaming music via spotify! The metadata are updating each time that a new song is playing! Again, works much way better than my iPhone 6. Really impressed!

[Nexus 6P General] mentalcase87:
I have never gotten an OTA when rooted so this caught me off guard when it popped up. Due to having TWRP I don't believe I can just simply update it though. I need to go about downloading all the files and flashing with TWRP correct?
[Nexus 6P General] force70:
Even with just root you cant take it.

You will need to fastboot the files or use a toolkit to flash them. They cannot be flashed in recovery of course.

[Nexus 6P General] mentalcase87:
OK thanks! I have only taken otas and installed plenty of roms through recovery. Never used fsstboot for flashing so I will look into this. Hell might use a tool kit if it's available.
[Nexus 6P General] force70:
Yup, wugs works for our device and 6.0.1 but just make sure you have a fastboot environment set up and know how to use it if the toolkit thing goes sideways.

That said Ive used wugs on my Gnex, nexus 6 and now 6p but only when i feel too lazy to fastboot lol...but i feel his kit is very reliable.

For fastboot read this.

Well now I understand my confusion lol. I have always just thought of it as using adb commands and the bootloader. I've always used adb to root and unlock phones I just never put enough thought into it to consider it fastboot even though a lot of the commands use fastboot. Feel pretty stupid about it now. Thanks for the link and help. I'll be updating shortly!

I will also be checking his kit out because I'm just far too lazy right now to go through all the commands and downloading of needed files. The less room for error the better.

And the kernel version, see if it's changed
[Nexus 6P General] CYoung234:
Yes you do. Here are the instructions from Google:

Flashing Instructions

To flash a device using one of the system images below (or one of your own), you need the latest fastboot tool. You can get it from one of the sources below.

From a compiled version of the Android Open Source Project.

From the platform-tools/ directory in the Android SDK. Be sure that you have the latest version of the Android SDK Platform-tools from the SDK Manager.

Once you have the fastboot tool, add it to your PATH environment variable (the flash-all script below must be able to find it). Also be certain that you've set up USB access for your device, as described in the Using Hardware Devices guide.

Caution: Flashing a new system image deletes all user data. Be certain to first backup any personal data such as photos.

To flash a system image:

Download the appropriate system image for your device below, then unzip it to a safe directory.

Connect your device to your computer over USB.

Start the device in fastboot mode with one of the following methods:

Using the adb tool: With the device powered on, execute:

adb reboot bootloader

Using a key combo: Turn the device off, then turn it on and immediately hold down the relevant key combination for your device. For example, to put a Nexus 5 ("hammerhead") into fastboot mode, press and hold Volume Up + Volume Down + Power as the device begins booting up.

If necessary, unlock the device's bootloader by running:

fastboot oem unlock

The target device will show you a confirmation screen. (This erases all data on the target device.)

Open a terminal and navigate to the unzipped system image directory.

Execute the flash-all script. This script installs the necessary bootloader, baseband firmware(s), and operating system.

Once the script finishes, your device reboots. You should now lock the bootloader for security:

Start the device in fastboot mode again, as described above.

Execute:

fastboot oem lock

Locking bootloader will wipe the data on some devices. After locking the bootloader, if you want to flash the device again, you must run fastboot oem unlock again, which will wipe the data.
[Nexus 6P General] NinjaOne:
Just finished downloading (haven't flashed yet)

Is this what you are asking for?

The archive contains these:

bootloader-angler-angler-02.45

radio-angler-angler-02.50

I don't know which file contains kernel version?
[Nexus 6P General] Chochiwpg:
boot.img is the kernel. There are ways to search prior to flashing to see what version but it's a bit complex. If you flash and go to about phone it will tell you the kernel version there once flash is complete. Thanks.
[Nexus 6P General] NinjaOne:
I'm waiting to flash until I know that I can find a compatible boot.img, so I can root. :)
[Nexus 6P General] Chochiwpg:
Ah ok, I think that's what we are all waiting for. I'm not rooted but have a couple hours left at work before I can flash so was hoping to find out the kernel build number prior to. I'll wait and see if anyone posts. Thanks.

Here is the screenshot from the 6.0.1 factory image. I'm going to try rooting with the 08M modified boot image to see if root works with it.
[Nexus 6P General] kingmikel:
I updated to 6.0.1, flashed this kernel https://renderserver.net/downloadre...ngler/stock_mdb08m_encryptable_recompiled.img , then flashed supersu beta for systemless root, and it worked. I also flashed elementalx over it and it works fine.

Will we're at it. Who can verify Band 12 support? :D
[Nexus 6P General] DynaMight:
The colours are ALOT more vibrant on 6.0.1. They fixed this issue: http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/1...-a-reduced-rgb-range-google-is-working-on-it/

I flashed over the top & then flashed the latest 2.60 SuperSU and it rooted without an issue.

I simply fastboot flashed the Bootloader (and rebooted the bootloader) then Radio, after that I flashed Boot, Vendor & System images. Booted into TWRP and flashed the SuperSU 2.60 BETA. No issues at all.

I was a little worried about encryption as mine isnt encrypted but it didnt encrypt on boot.
[Nexus 6P General] B_I_N_G_E:
Are they more vibrant everywhere or just on playback?

I read on the band 12 thread that someone confirmed band 12 works with 6.0.1 :D
[Nexus 6P General] flameinthefire:
Whats band 12? and how will it help?
[Nexus 6P General] stastnysnipes26:
To the people saying you need to have an unlocked bootloader to flash this, that is incorrect. You can simply flash all of the images once you unzip them using fastboot commands. No BL unlock necessary.
[Nexus 6P General] BootlegZani:
I assume they only fixed this on 6P and 5X and not the Nexus Player yet.
[Nexus 6P General] geoff5093:
It's for T-Mobile users, and it allows them to utilize their "Extended Range LTE".

According to Google, you need to unlock it first: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en

4: If necessary, unlock the device's bootloader by running:
fastboot oem unlock
The target device will show you a confirmation screen. (This erases all data on the target device.)
[Nexus 6P General] flameinthefire:
I have tmobile so i guess that's great news :) is there a way to verify this?
[Nexus 6P General] kingmikel:
I think I made it lol. I can confirm it's working
[Nexus 6P General] geoff5093:
After you flash it download LTE Discovery or SignalCheck Pro, go into a weak coverage area or into a building, and see what band it shows. This only matters if T-Mobile actually has band 12 in your area though.

[Nexus 6P General] geoff5093:
Can you try rebooting 1-2 times and see if you lose root? I did. I'm trying to flash it again as I read someplace else with systemless root sometimes this is a side effect.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64195997&postcount=3263 seems to indicate that you can just flash the latest SuperSU (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64161125&postcount=3 2.61 as of time of this post) in TWRP and it works. He did it on a N6 and not a N6P, but it should hopefully work on our devices as well.

EDIT, I tried it and it worked fine. Boot to fastboot, flash twrp, use the fastboot menus on your phone to reboot to recovery, flash SuperSU 2.61 from there, reboot to system and you have root! Yes, it stays after rebooting.
[Nexus 6P General] freemini:
I used SuperSU 2.52 and the boot.img included in that post. It works fine, however camera doesn't seem to work with 6.0.0 kernels (using ElementalX 0.11). Something interesting is xposed doesn't optimize apps anymore after every reboot. On odex'd 6.0.0 it always optimized around 10 apps but on stock rooted 6.0.1 it doesn't which is certainly OK with me.
[Nexus 6P General] designgears:
Works fine guys.

i did not modify the img to allow root, but i flashed supersu 2.61 and i booted successfully using systemless root. Try looking for that updated su if you are not booting. :highfive:

System based root (because it's kernel based breaks the camera)
[Nexus 6P General] SCFirefighter:
I don't get it. Why require an unlocked boot loader to flash factory images that have the correct digital signature?

That makes zero sense. Admittedly I have not flashed anything on my 6p yet, but on my N5 all I had to do was edit the flash script and remove the -w parameter.

Or should I just uninstall all the things and flash
[Nexus 6P General] racing_md:
I can confirm that you will lose root upon reboot with systemless root with su 2.60/2.61 and 6.0.1. I only saw it mentioned once here but that is a pretty big issue and a deal breaker for me. I tried to go back to standard root using the original modified mdb08k boot image and su 2.52. That combo booted fine and stuck after reboot but the camera did not work. I had the same results these combos: modified MDB08M boot image and su 2.52 and modified MDB08M and su 2.56. I even tried the new modified boot image for 6.0.1 that is floating around here with su 2.52 and su 2.56. Those attempts resulted in bootloops.

Waving the white flag I had to restore my 6.0 backup. I kept the new radio and all seems to be working properly. For those who care I did not remove fingerprint security before making the twrp backup. I restored the backup then immediately deleted /data/system/locksettings.db in twrp. Those steps allowed me to boot without difficulty. Once booted I went back into settings and reactivated the screen lock. My fingerprint information was retained and I am back up and running with a working camera and 6.0.

My nandroid did include the vendor partition because I was not sure if the vendor partition changed in 6.0.1....

[Nexus 6P General] mobileman88:
Absolutely right.

---------- Post added at 12:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 PM ----------

That is right. I have flashed 6.0.1 over 6.0.0, installed SuperSU 2.61 . All works well.
[Nexus 6P General] ahse0w:
it seems like a lot of people are over complicating things.

to update to 6.0.1 it's quite easy and you just need to root it again to restore your root.

Things you need:

factory image

twrp recovery image

SuperSU 2.61

How:

Edit flash-all.bat and remove -w flag from last fastboot update command. This will stop it from erasing userdata.

Place SuperSU zip into your phone

go to your fastboot dir, execute flash-all.bat.

you will reboot, let android do it's optimizing apps thing.

after that, reboot into bootloader

flash recovery

fastboot reboot-bootloader

go into recovery and install SuperSU 2.61

Done!

Now you are on 6.0.1 and with root.

This is for encrypted devices. I don't see the need to decrypt. Performance at read/write is almost the same
[Nexus 6P General] racing_md:
Try rebooting... Do you still have root?
[Nexus 6P General] ahse0w:
yes.

adaway still asks for superuser permission.

The only weird bug is that I cannot swipe down or touch any of the overflow menus when first reboot.

Need to lock screen first and unlock again before it works.

Yeah everything seems to work with systemless root
[Nexus 6P General] TheUnladenSwallow:
Systemless root fine over here. Was unrooted before flashing update (w/ unlocked bootloader though), flashed update w/o -w in flashall.bat flashed twrp and flashed systemless 2.61 no problems.
[Nexus 6P General] ceribik:
For security reasons. E.g. consider a scenario in which a security update prevents an exploit against your phone. Somone who has temporary access to your phone could flash the old version and then exploit you when you continue using the phone.

You only need to unlock the bootloader if you want to flash it manually via fastboot. If you wait, you can just get the OTA update without that requirement.

That being said, it might be possible to use the stock recovery to flash signed images, but I can't find any search results on this idea.
