Is it work on 29Q
[Nexus 6P General] toknitup420:
No one in here has a problem with curiosity. That gentleman's original post seemed more like someone trolling the thread. Hence why after he said he wasn't trolling the conversation ended and the thread went back to being civil. Exactly what that gentleman asked for. I originally misunderstood and responded to quickly and upon reading his response I found he was merely curious. It was a simple misunderstanding that didn't get out of hand. Absolutely no reason to categorize this site as full of jerks.
[Nexus 6P General] :
I've been on xda about 5-6 years and years ago it wasn't a place to come and ask questions it is what it is, a developer site. I see many people answering questions now and the answers are a page back in the thread or two paragraphs up from where the person is asking. lol. This happens ALOT and I see people still answer and I think to myself.. Damn it wasn't like that back in the day. Back years ago you'd get mulitple smartass replies and I would read them and laugh and I actually preferred it that way. Haha. It takes a few seconds to search Google and learn just about anything and XDA isn't a answer questions site for people who are too lazy to search and that's what it is for MANY people nowadays it seems. ?
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
The one I have posted no will not work. I just removed the 29Q from OP yesterday. I'll throw it back up tho I'll start a old downloads just in case.
[Nexus 6P General] andresantos:
is it possible to flash the modified boot in twrp?
[Nexus 6P General] puertorecon:
Tigerdtown,....do you know any link for a kernel that has your features for Nexus 6 (Shamu)?
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
this is made to be flash using fastboot only....sorry
[Nexus 6P General] andresantos:
ok thanks for the reply. I was wondering because twrp 3.0.0 can flash img files but it's still so new feature that I'm bit confused of which files are flashable and which are not
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
Off hand no,but are you looking for a stock modified boot.IMG for N6? Pretty sure most custom kernels would have these less there setup for systemless only.
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
well I have never tried to flash a IMG via 3.0. So I can't say forsure. I didn't even know you could do that lol call me old school but I like using fastboot as my 1st choice always. :o
[Nexus 6P General] andresantos:
maybe I will give it a go, I guess it can't hurt to try :)
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
Long as you can fastboot to fix if something does your wrong. Yeah can't hurt nothing. If you try please report back I'd appreciate it.
[Nexus 6P General] :
You can flash an image fine using twrp 3.00. I've done it many times. :) Someone updated via google factory image via twrp and said it worked. I've only flashed this kernel and vendor.img in latest twrp and works fine. :)
[Nexus 6P General] andresantos:
it worked fine via twrp recovery! thanks
[Nexus 6P General] mannyelite:
as always great quality work from [MENTION=5317224]Tigerstown[/MENTION] thanks brotha!! running great and buttery smooth.
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
Hey no problem bro. Glad to help out?
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
Normally I pre order the new nexus every year. So once they are announce I'll be able to tell you what device. I'll probably still support the 6P as my kid will still have it. Are you thinking of getting a new nexus?
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
I recommend never using any app or any auto nothing. It never works out. Manually install or flash is always the best way to go. I haven't had any issues with like use on my 6P with light use. I been mostly using my US unlocked HTC 10.
[Nexus 6P General] 1112ee:
I did everything manually, newest SuperSU beta and I still get freezes
[Nexus 6P General] holla420:
Sucks it still freezing for you. Some are having no problems some are. Not sure what else could be done at this point.
[Nexus 6P General] jaythenut:
Try SuperSU 2.72 works great for me
[Nexus 6P General] 1112ee:
I'll try that. Was I supposed to have clean flashed?
[Nexus 6P General] jaythenut:
If your coming from dp3 should be OK but from mm yes
[Nexus 6P General] 1112ee:
Yea I was from dp3. Where can I get old versions of SuperSU?
[Nexus 6P General] jaythenut:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6bczptEI-1LRXc5YXB3V3hvRjA/view?usp=drivesdk got one on my drive ?
[Nexus 6P General] 1112ee:
Is there any place I can get the official download?
[Nexus 6P General] jaythenut:
http://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133 oops wrong one can't find it search xda
[Nexus 6P General] Won't be druv:
So the SuperSU can cause freezes? I'm using 2.74 and Facebook and chrome are freezing a lot. On 2.72 and dp3 I experienced next to no freezing. I may try that again.
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
You need to decrypt to get twrp to boot with N.
[Nexus 6P General] jsminnis:
Does the new one have regular root, I seen in an earlier post where you said you would add sepolicy.
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
No,Systemless only for now on Preview builds
[Nexus 6P General] asj0422:
Why is that? Will that be something that's fixed for the final release, or is that going to be something that sticks around even after the public release?
[Nexus 6P General] holla420:
Possibly
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
It's really on twrp they way twrp handles encryption on N like it auto decrypts for you when you boot to twrp if you are encryption on MM while you are in recovery.
[Nexus 6P General] metalcated:
I'm all for having total control of your phone, trust me. But I am running stock recovery with encrypted data and no issues what so ever on p4. I use Flashfire to flash any packages including ota updates. All is well. Just thought I'd mention, again I'm all for total control and commend [MENTION=5317224]Tigerstown[/MENTION] for supplying this method. ?
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
I'm not having any issues either and I'm Decrypted running twrp and SU. It's really up to what the user wants to do with their device. I can't tell you why others are having issues. I know I didn't restore a single app setup like new like always. I have zero freezes, zero anything just throwing that out.
[Nexus 6P General] metalcated:
And there you have it folks. Doesn't matter which way you do it, it's stable either way so it's def not just the boot.img. [emoji6]
[Nexus 6P General] asj0422:
Not quite sure I understand what you mean... you're saying that n auto-decrypts when you boot recovery?? (Sounds like a security problem...) On m, I have to put in my lock pattern before twrp can decrypt my storage and become usable.
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
On default password on MM if your device is encrypted it will do this for you. If you have a lock pattern that wouldn't be default password. So I'm saying it will probably be like that once N is official. An twrp will update is what I'm guessing will happen.
[Nexus 6P General] asj0422:
So what's n doing now that's different from m?
[Nexus 6P General] jesssiii:
I'm really pleased with the 6P. I'll have to see what the next one offers vs price. Likely I'll stay with this another couple years.

Nexus 6P
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
There is nothing wrong with keeping the 6P. It is one amazing device. And it will get updates for years to come too. I'm also waiting to hear about the next nexus before I commit to anything you know
[Nexus 6P General] toknitup420:
You know you're pre ordering that puppy the second it becomes available lol. I know I am.
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
You know me all to well bro. It sounded good tho didn't it. :good:

Hey can you please help me .... Just trying to figure out what boot image to use on dp4 and no force encryption . thanks I just don't wanna loose my files.
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
If you use the one in OP under N downloads for preview 4. That won't force encryption. Let me know if you can't figure out what one to use

[Nexus 6P General] Zorachus:
Which specific modified ' boot.img ' do I need ?

I just got my brand new Aluminum Nexus 6P last night, I wanted to test out the new Developer Preview #4 right away, so enrolled in the program and got the OTA update which I took, and rebooted running Android N, looks pretty neat, and nice tweaks, and some new features. But I always like to run Rooted and install custom ROM's, but Root is #1 for me.

Ok so I need a little help, I am following the excellent video by Rootjunky ( thank you ), and got through the unlocked bootloader part easily, and now installed TWRP Recovery easily too, but upon first time booting into TWRP, it's just sitting at the Blue and Gray teamwin screen, and not doing anything else, it's not actually entering into the Recovery, to see the list of options, etc...

I powered the device down, and started up again in Fastboot mode, then chose Recovery, and does the same again, just sits at the blue gray colored teamwin screen, and does nothing.

What happened ?

UPDATE:

I powered the device down / off. Then started up again, it went and booted up, to the fresh clean Android N DP 4. But I am not rooted at all yet, due not being able to fully enter Recovery and flash the SuperSU zip yet
[Nexus 6P General] Big Cam:
So first off, I think I know what these do, and I thank you for your work.

I literally just flashed MTC19V via ADB, and when I flashed superSU again, it said something about the boot image and after rooting, the corruption error message went away that I was getting directly after flashing MTC19V.

Is this like a modified boot image to prevent the corruption error? Is this beneficial to me at the point I am at?
[Nexus 6P General] Won't be druv:
Have a look at the series of answers just above your post. Twrp doesn't work on an encrypted device, you need a modified boot image.
[Nexus 6P General] Zorachus:
Thanks, I saw that after I made the post. So I will use that modified boot.img you just linked to a few posts above ? Thank you.
[Nexus 6P General] Won't be druv:
Yep, [MENTION=5317224]Tigerstown[/MENTION] is the man!
[Nexus 6P General] Zorachus:
Great, I am running the Android N beta 4 and rooted :) Thank you :) :)

Now let's say I want to go back to MM, can I just reboot to TWRP Recovery, flash something like Pure Nexus ROM + GAPPS and reboot and be golden ? or do I need to do some special task to down to MM first being on N now ?
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
Myself I would flash MM factory Imgs and a modified boot.img if you want force encryption removed and dm remove for system root. That's what I do. But you can give just flashing a rom a try worse cause you have to restore factory Imgs.
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
Modified boot has force encryption removed,dm checks removed(which causes your error message with system root), and my custom SePolicy which allows system root on MM based boot.img.
[Nexus 6P General] mochamoo:
Does anyone know if twrp is working on an update so that I don't have to decrypt my device to flash it? I am not having any luck finding info about it. In the meantime i have used cf auto root to get root at least on dp4.
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
That I have no clue. Sorry
[Nexus 6P General] h3rnand3zz:
Thank you that worked.... !!
[Nexus 6P General] asj0422:
I do not believe so. I've been nosing around for this myself, and havent been able to find anything. The only thing I could come up with is what you've already did, which is cf auto root.

Somewhat unrelated, but how does cf auto root work differently from flashing the supersu script in twrp?
[Nexus 6P General] metalcated:
You don't need twrp to do it ;)
[Nexus 6P General] mochamoo:
You use fastboot. https://autoroot.chainfire.eu
[Nexus 6P General] asj0422:
Found an interesting solution to the whole encrypted N with twrp problem that I thought you guys would be interested in. I'm currently rooted (systemless) and encrypted running N on my n6p, and I didn't use any toolkits or CF root or anything. Here's what I did...

tl;dr is basically wait to flash the N vendor image until after you're all done with twrp.

1. Download the factory image for DP4

2. Unzip it, etc. Basically follow step 9 of [MENTION=4153349]Heisenberg[/MENTION]'s guide

3. flash everything you normally would from dp4 EXCEPT vendor and recovery (FYI I'm running the latest version of twrp, 3.0.2 or whatever it is) with fastboot

4. on your phone, boot into twrp before doing anything else. at this point you have the N system, but the M vendor image. for some reason, twrp now plays nice, and you can flash supersu per usual without worrying about wiping and decrypting or anything.

5. after that's done, using twrp, boot back into fastboot. now flash the vendor image from dp4, and reboot into the system. don't forget this step, since trying to boot the N system with the M vendor image won't work - just causes a bootloop.

That's it, you're all done! The first boot took a while, and looped a couple times, but i'm now running N with root and without any huge issues. The only thing I haven't been able to get working yet (knock on wood) is adaway, but I can just manually edit the hosts file if I have to.

[Nexus 6P General] calebcabob:
[MENTION=6807382]asj0422[/MENTION]

You're saying you are now able to run TWRP even after the N vendor is installed?
[Nexus 6P General] metalcated:
For Adaway you need this - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911977059
[Nexus 6P General] asj0422:
No. If you want to use twrp, you'll have to flash the M vendor partition again. (Then flash back before booting system, otherwise it won't boot.)
[Nexus 6P General] steviemch:
So we're officially running Nougat ?

Tbf I was rooting (pardon the pun) for Nutella.

Nexus 6P
[Nexus 6P General] asj0422:

New Imgs are live. I'll post boot.img with a hour after getting home from work. Got 1 hour left at work. If anyone is wondering.
[Nexus 6P General] holla420:
I'm wondering lol
[Nexus 6P General] k0lega:
Thanks man, always quick to give us the boot... I mean that in a good way:p
[Nexus 6P General] 1112ee:
What do you mean new images are live? Is preview 5 out?
[Nexus 6P General] Swamphound:
He means the July factory images and is always there for us ASAP with the latest decrypted boot imgs. Ty [MENTION=5317224]Tigerstown[/MENTION]!
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
That's exactly what I meant. I should I been more clear tho, also boot.img coming shortly I been on PC for a few something isn't right with my PC everything is working very slow it'd crazy. I been extracting a file for like 5 mins and it should take 20 seconds on my setup. Bare with me I'm working on it. :svetius:
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
OP updated thanks to [MENTION=4286591]holla420[/MENTION] for testing
[Nexus 6P General] ModelCitizen:
Is this the right one? I flashed them all via ADB and it my settings still say encrypted.
[Nexus 6P General] Swamphound:
This kernel is for keeping your device unencrypted if you are decrypted and being able to use TWRP. If you are encrypted and adb sideloading without custom recovery you do not need this kernel.
[Nexus 6P General] sharkie405:
Please forgive my ingorance, but is this still the latest uploaded boot.img:

?

I'm confused by the new uploads yesterday/today. I'm on NDP56N. Which is the newest correct one to use?
[Nexus 6P General] mitchdickson:
This is not the "latest" uploaded boot.img. It is however the latest boot.img for DP4.
[Nexus 6P General] ckllok:
Can I flash the decrypted boot(MTC19X) on top of custom rom?
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
You should have no issues. None that I could think of.
[Nexus 6P General] calvinchso:
Which one do you think it will be compatible with MTC19Z on 5X ? Thanks!
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
I got a 5x one I need to upload to my 5x thread. I'll have it posted later today.
[Nexus 6P General] XAL2:
I used the modified boot img for the nexus 6p and when I booted into N I wasn't decrypted. How come the boot img didn't work for me? I'm just trying to root N and have twrp working so I can use Adaway and use a custom kernel.
[Nexus 6P General] jaythenut:
When you checked did it say decrypt phone sounds like you are to me :good:
[Nexus 6P General] XAL2:
No it says Encrypt phone.
[Nexus 6P General] jaythenut:
That's what I meant lol so you are decrypt so your good
[Nexus 6P General] XAL2:
Wait I'm confused then. If I'm decrypted how come Twrp didn't work after first boot? Also in the guide I followed it says it should say decrypt phone?
[Nexus 6P General] jaythenut:
Don't know about twrp but if you press encrypt phone it will ask you to decrypt it (don't press yes press cancel)
[Nexus 6P General] XAL2:
Okay, when I go to the security tab it says Encrypt phone. When I tap on that it gives me a long message then at the bottom it says Encrypt phone. I don't see where it asks me to decrypt. Sorry if I'm being difficult, but I'm lost lol.
[Nexus 6P General] DaveHTC200:
You are decrypted, as it's giving you the option to encrypt the phone ?
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
Dp5 is out, modified boot.img will be up shortly. Still at work only for like 2 more hours. Also this don't decrypt your phone it's self. You must manually decrypt your device either before flashing my boot.img or once you flash my boot.img.
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
You ever figure out your issue?
[Nexus 6P General] jaythenut:
Cool thanks bud
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
OP as been updated to NPD90G preview build.

Thanks to [MENTION=4286591]holla420[/MENTION] for knocking out this boot.img. he did it as I showed him and tested so it's all good. He is already rooted in DP5. I'm still at work so no fun for me yet. Why do all updated come when I'm at work??? Or is it cause I'm always at work :p
[Nexus 6P General] aSquard:
So we "fastboot flash format userdata" either before or after flashing your modified boot.img, correct? Regardless, our internal data will be wiped.
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
Your internal will be wiped. If your not on one of mine already I can't speak, but if you are on mine and then yes either before or after or if your on say my MM you can decrypt thru twrp using format also. If your not currently on one of my boot.img then I would flash my boot.img then follow your fastboot cmd. Did that clear it up? Feel free to ask more questions. That's what we are here for :svetius:
[Nexus 6P General] holla420:
Here's pics of this month N and encryption.
[Nexus 6P General] aSquard:
I think I got it, yes I'm already on your DP4 modified boot.img already. I'll make a backup of my internal memory :)
[Nexus 6P General] holla420:
Bwuahaha don't work to hard homie.
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
You know me I stay working. I love money too much lol
[Nexus 6P General] holla420:
Get it bruh
[Nexus 6P General] Xenotrumpet:
So if I'm on a custom kernel, I can just flash this via TWRP with DP5? I'm already decrypted.

EDIT: I mean over the custom kernel
[Nexus 6P General] jaythenut:
Are you going to do a little rom for dp5:good:
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
If you decrypted you should be able to do that yes. Did you already flash the new N factory Imgs?
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
Don't want to make any promises but if there are no freezes in this build from Google I might do a little something. That's best I can do for now
[Nexus 6P General] Xenotrumpet:
Not just yet. I will soon.

Good man
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
So when fastboot flashing the new N Imgs just fastboot the modified boot.img I have posted then format Userdata via fastboot and you will be decrypted and able too use twrp less you go a 64 or 128 gig DO NOT flash Userdata via fastboot ever. You will have to decrypt in twrp(format data button) if you have a 64or128gig. Doing so will format your data from 64or128gig to 32gig. Which is fixable with stock recovery but still stupid. Like my I can't flash Userdata via fastboot found out the hard way :highfive:
[Nexus 6P General] acts4:12:
So I have a 128GB. Can't I just fastboot "format user data" and then fastboot flash the new N imgs using your boot IMG in place of the stock N boot img and then fastboot flash TWRP? That's all I need to do to get TWRP installed and working with DP5 right?
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
Yes
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
Yea just don't flash Userdata. .
[Nexus 6P General] XAL2:
Yeah everything is good. I guess I just confused myself with something so simple.

So the only way to flash DP5 is through fastboot like usual? Also there's no way to get around having to lose your internal data?
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
If you are already decrypted you can flash N and not lose internal.
[Nexus 6P General] XAL2:
I'm sorry I feel like I'm asking easy questions. How would I go about doing that? I believe I'm decrypted already. I'm rooted and I have twrp installed.
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
If your decrypted then yes just flash the proper imgs and if you don't flash Userdata or format data you won't lose internal.
[Nexus 6P General] JP_93:
I just flashed from dirty unicorns marshmallow rom to DP5. I was decrypted before and wanted to keep twrp and root so I flashed the DP5 zip in twrp, the modified boot image and then super su 2.76, however now my device is encrypted and I don't have root. Did I miss a step or something?
[Nexus 6P General] holla420:
Did u install a rooted app to see if you still have it? Also... Did u flash the whole zip or just the imgs inside of the zip threw fastboot?
[Nexus 6P General] JP_93:
Yup tried a rooted app and it didn't work. Also I flashed the whole ota zip and the rest in twrp.
[Nexus 6P General] napes22:
I was decrypted, and now I'm getting an "encryption unsuccessful" message. Is there anything I can do, or is my phone borked and I need to flash back and wipe?
[Nexus 6P General] mitchdickson:
Could just restore the backup you made before upgrading to the new developer preview.
[Nexus 6P General] napes22:
I was never able to get TWRP to install or backup properly using the dev preview properly. I do have everything backed up though, so I'll just wipe and restore everything that way.
[Nexus 6P General] kickenwing13:
So I'm encrypted stock DP5. If I want to go to decrypted I need to do what? Tried flashing boot img to no avail..
[Nexus 6P General] justin1221:
Flash modified boot, wipe user data in twrp.
[Nexus 6P General] kickenwing13:
So I flashed the boot img, flashed twrp and it asked for my password. put it in and it just hangs up . it's been like 5 minutes...
[Nexus 6P General] kickenwing13:
Rebooted, turned off all security stuff and twrp won't even boot ... Tried going back to stock.. then flashing boot IMG then twrp .. no luck .
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
You have the be decrypted prior to entering twrp. You can not be encrypted on N and access twrp
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
Fastboot boot.img along with the rest of the proper imgs for N then fastboot format Userdata that will decrypt your device
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
I'm sorry I don't think you were decrypted. But anyways your getting that message in twrp? If so just fastboot boot.img and fastboot format Userdata and it will decrypt your device, you may need to flash all the Imgs again
