[Nexus 6P General] dephsone:
Fastboot flashed the modified boot.img on the new N Preview but my phone is still encrypted.

TWRP (3.0.0-0 and 2-0 too) wants to decrypt.

Please help.

❤Nexus6P❤
[Nexus 6P General] sjandroiddeveloper:
If you are encrypted you will stay encrypted and if you are unecrypted you will stay unencrypted.

What this modified boot image does is not force encrypt the phone. So if you want to decrypt you gotta format userdata partition and then you will stay that way
[Nexus 6P General] dephsone:
So after I flash the modified boot.img do I have to write command "fastboot format userdata"?

❤Nexus6P❤
[Nexus 6P General] sjandroiddeveloper:
Yes

[Nexus 6P General] Psycho Orange:
Hello. I need your help guys. I'm flashed boot.img (MHC19Q) from OP, wipe /data partition, then flash again boot.img. Result - data on phone still encrypted. All operations i'm doing in TWRP 3.0.2.0. What i'm doing wrong? I want decrypted data.
[Nexus 6P General] BakedTator:
Flash the boot image without encryption, then wipe your data and internal storage
[Nexus 6P General] Psycho Orange:
Internal storage? Hmmm, but this erase all. No way...
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Perhaps, it does. If you don't want to backup and restore all the data, I am afraid you will have to stay encrypted.
[Nexus 6P General] BakedTator:
Then no decryption for you sir...

Back all your stuff up on your computer, wipe it, then move it all back after its decrypted...otherwise, you will stay encrypted
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
Like the others said you need to format your data to decrypt only one time if you never flash a force encryption boot.img/ kernel. Formatting will wipe all. Just drag phones internal top your PC before you do it if you have things on your phone you can't loose. That's why I decrypted first thing when getting new device as nothing is on my device yet.
[Nexus 6P General] holla420:
This man's a genius
[Nexus 6P General] eman3316@optonline.net:
What is the advantage of decrypting your device? If you use this boot image will Android Pay stop working?

Also, doesn't the newest version of TWRP work without decrypting now so why the need at this point if you can still do what you need to do now without altering that?
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
System root/flash factory imgs and stay decrypted for starters. What's the point of your post? Questioning my thread is all I can make of it.
[Nexus 6P General] eman3316@optonline.net:
You serious dude? I haven't been on XDA in a while owning a Nexus 5 for the last 2 years and not feeling the need to root but recently picked up a Nexus 6P. Pretty rusty with the new stuff going on and just trying to figure out what is what.

Don't take it so personal man, I have been an XDA member for a real long time and never question anyone's development or contributions whether it's for me or not but I don't even know if this is for me or not, hence my questions.

From what I could tell I have seen that TWRP now works with encryption. So I assume custom Roms and stuff can now work without decrypting? At least that is what I took it as.

So my seroius question is do I still need to decrypt my data if I want to root and maybe install a custom ROM or is that not necessary anymore? Will decrypting my device erase all my device?

I am just trying to figure out what is necessary and what is not.
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
If you do not decrypt the complete data partition, you will need to decrypt your storage everytime you boot into TWRP, in order to carry out an action. And since TWRP is already having issues with N, you might not even be able to boot into TWRP.

---------- Post added at 05:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 AM ----------

I believe we have a misunderstanding here, between you two. Tigerstown might just have failed to put the exact words for the explanation.

Over to the question now. TWRP might work fine with encryption on MM, but it does seems to create a good amount of trouble on N. Another factor that contributes to the pro, is that encrypted devices have seen a bit of increment in terms of performance (Based on the reports of several users on XDA). However, this increment is not significant.
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
You were like what's the point why you need this. Sure sounds like you were questioning it why am i even posting this. If not ok. No biggie to me. You don't need this for systemless root or custom ROM no. If you want system root you need this. Decrypt will erase all one time yes if you don't flash a force encryption boot.img/or kernel again.
[Nexus 6P General] toknitup420:
For one, a lot of people like to be decrypted.

Two, this thread is specifically for those of us that prefer system root as opposed to systemless(we all have our own reasons)

Three, no one in here cares about Android pay. We all know modding the system kills the Android pay function.

If the thread isn't for you that's fine. But it's kinda rude to essentially call the thread pointless. Especially since it's not. A lot of people don't know how to mod boot images and they like to be rooted with system root and like to be decrypted. This thread is for those people.

It's not necessary to be decrypted for twrp to work on MM. But a lot of people feel the device runs smoother without encryption. This was also true on the n6. It's all mainly a matter preference.

As far as N is concerned. I have seen nothing but problems for anyone who is encrypted trying to use twrp. Regardless of the version of twrp they've tried.
[Nexus 6P General] eman3316@optonline.net:
Who the heck called this thread pointless? I asked questions because I am still trying to understand the whole process with the 6P and what is needed and I thought this thread and it's participants can help me get an understanding. How can I call something pointless if I still don't understand it! I was asking if there is still a point to decrypt if TWRP can do what it needs to with an encrypted system. I was thinking maybe because of this that some other things might not be needed or be necessary at this time.

Appreciate the helpful answers from people!
[Nexus 6P General] ChavitoArg:
I'll give you my main reason: if my device gets stolen or I loose it. If the one who haves it reboot the device somehow it will ask him for a password before he even gets to lockscreen. So he will not be able to see the "owner message" and I will not be able to track my device because it will not boot up because of encryption. So zero chances for me to get it back again (excuse me if I was not clear enough)

Remember, everything on Android is subjective. You are free to convey your opinion, but in a constructive manner.

As I said before, this is just a simple misunderstanding. No one here is offending the thread or our dear [MENTION=5317224]Tigerstown[/MENTION]. So, cool down and move forward with the topic ;)

I sincerely hope that I didn't offend anyone here.

I'm pretty sure you can disable the PIN unlock requirement for device reboot. I have a lock screen PIN, but in Security settings I disabled the secure boot feature. Check it out
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
I guess he is mentioning about the encryption lock that appears at boot. :good:
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
Should be getting a new factory img tomorrow from Google. I'll be updating my ROM first then this boot.IMG so if there isn't a new one up right away like normal it's because I didn't have my ROM out. Which always has all these features with system root baked in to my ROM. I should still be able to do both tomorrow night after work but just in case I'm giving heads up. That is if Google drops the update like they have on the 1st Monday each month.

[Nexus 6P General] jaythenut:
Wait what you building a n rom :cool: or have I read it wrong lol
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
in MM there is system checks before phone will boot in the boot.img If your system is modified your phone won't boot. So there for phones that can't flash a modified boot.img like mine where I removed those system checks they can't have root at all....So systemless root was created so you can have root on stock MM boot.img for phones that cant flash a boot.img as systemless root doesn't modify your system at all. Cause I agree systemless root is better then no root. Taking a ota on a Nexus makes me laugh...not at you just is funny to me.
[Nexus 6P General] SlimSnoopOS:
Always good to learn, thanks for the information! That makes things clearer about SuperSU.
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
No problem.?
[Nexus 6P General] samteeee:
Any chance anyone might have a modified boot image (systemless) for MMB29Q?

Thank you.
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
I don't understand what you mean. You just use stock boot.img and flash SuperSU for systemless I believe
[Nexus 6P General] samteeee:
Thanks for replying back.

I thought I'd need a modified boot image patched for systemless root?!!
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
not that I'm aware of. Zip handles everything for systemless root if you want to go that way.
[Nexus 6P General] casonswag:
So this doesnt force encryption right?
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
correct it doesn't force nothing, it also says in OP. You can also use my boot.img to decrypt your encrypted phone.
[Nexus 6P General] Cold_Precision:
I'm so confused how the performance on this is much better than my stock kernel. Even though all this kernel has done is allow root and no force encryption which I haven't even activated. When I have the normal stock kernel every animation just looks like it has a motion blur and feels laggy.
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
idk man only things I did was use my Se policy and remove system checks and change encryption line. But glad to hear it's working out for you?
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
I'll have the new factory imgs modified boot up in less then 2hrs. Trying to get home from work.

[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
No clue. Never took a ota in my life...why do you want to take ota just wondering not jumping on you?
[Nexus 6P General] toknitup420:
It will most likely not work since you're decrypted. Or it might work and encrypt you upon boot. Never tried to take an ota on a nexus device so can't be sure what will come of it. Only one good way to find out. Venture into the wild and try it out lol.
[Nexus 6P General] dephsone:
Thanks guys.

Seriously, I do not know why I want to wait the OTA. Never waited in my life too lol.

Did you sideload the OTA zip and flash SuperSu via adb? Or were you able to retain TWRP since you're unencrypted, then use it to flash SuperSu 2.72?

This is the first time I've had the 'System update available' in Android N whilst rooted with TWRP and modded boot.img.

If you choose to take the update, I would love to know whether or not it still keeps your TWRP and root after installing. That's the only thing keeping me from installing Preview Build 2 the way yours is setup and doing the same thing
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
I will be posting a modified N boot.img in like 20 mins. I just made one but messed if up as I edited it for system root but I haven't redid my sepolicy to boot on N.

I've flashed the NPD35K images with the decrypted boot.img, and TWRP 3.0.2 still hangs on the splash screen. Am I doing something wrong or does TWRP still not work yet?
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
is your phone decrypted before flashing new imgs? i know twrp works as [MENTION=4286591]holla420[/MENTION] is rooted already
[Nexus 6P General] Swift_LawnGnome:
Aaah no I believe it was not. Do I have to flash back to MM, decrypt, then flash back to N? Or is there a simpler process? I'm sorry I've just never had to deal with encryption in Android before.
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
I never decrypted on N but you should be able to if your on my modified boot.img. Normally I do it in twrp but you can boot to twrp so you can do it via fastboot

Fastboot flash the userdata.img and boot to os you should now be decrypted. Also IT WILL WIPE YOUR INTERNAL storage when you decrypted. You only have to do it once so it's not Everytime.
[Nexus 6P General] holla420:
ok here u go....

Fastboot flash bootloader nameoffile.img

Fastboot reboot-bootloader

Fastboot flash radio nameoffile.img

Fastboot reboot-bootloader

Fastboot flash system system.img

Fastboot flash boot boot.img

Fastboot erase cache

Fastboot flash cache cache.img

Fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

Fastboot flash vendor vendor.img after flashing .imgs reboot into os and u should be good to go. Also flashing userdata wipes internal so make a backup of everything u intend to keep.

Post #408

---------- Post added at 12:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 AM ----------

So as a complete aside, I updated to the latest preview without a hitch (many thanks for the speedy boot imgs [MENTION=5317224]Tigerstown[/MENTION]) and eagerly tried to use Android Pay, which has just been released today in the UK. I rooted with the latest systemless and tried to add a card. No go, an error message came up stating my android version cant be verified. I took to the Play Store with a negative rant on the Pay app and Google responded within minutes to inform me they're working on a way to get Pay working on rooted devices on the dev preview. Which was pleasantly unexpected.
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
That would be cool for those who use Android pay and root devices.
[Nexus 6P General] Cadenjs:
I'm assuming there's no way to root while encrypted without decrypting?
[Nexus 6P General] joqsan:
I'm totally lost on how to get N preview 3 on my Nexus 6p coming from MM, there are no good steps. Can I do everything from twrp? Where's the boot.img? Where's the radio.img? What else do I need to flash !?
[Nexus 6P General] Fustigador:
you can find all the files from:

Android Pay works with stock Android N Beta 1? It didn't with the previous Android N preview releases.
[Nexus 6P General] imatts:
I had this problem too. This is what fixed my issue:

Prereq:

- Be running Android N NPD35K

- USB Debugging: Enabled

CMD in order:

- Fastboot flash boot boot.img (this is the new modified boot.img you would have gotten)

- Fastboot format userdata (this erases all data!)

- Fastboot flash recovery [name of twrp].img (you should be flashing twrp 3020 at least!)

- Fastboot reboot-bootloader

- And then boot into recovery!
[Nexus 6P General] unknown1205:
sweet. i was able to dirty flash (was gonna do a clean flash but i forgot to wipe data) and it booted up fine. coming from the april update of marshmellow.

edit: how do i get multi-window to work? i don't see the little icon when i use the recent apps button. did it not flash correctly since i didnt do a clean flash?
[Nexus 6P General] microcox:
I'm seeing some advices to flash userdata.img. If you have a 64 or 128gigs n6p I would advise against it since it's supposed to wreck your internal memory and limit it to 32go. At least it did some time ago and heisenberg beginners guide still advise against it. Maybe not anymore.

Anyway a format userdata should be enough to decrypt if the boot.img is the modified one, but maybe I'm wrong.

Good I/O everyone.
[Nexus 6P General] steviemch:
Simply swipe up from recents on your home screen to enable multi window.

Nexus 6P
[Nexus 6P General] unknown1205:
yea, i tried that and its not working. makes me think it didnt flash correctly.

other than that, i see the other system UI changes, new emoji and my build number is the latest NPD35K.
[Nexus 6P General] steviemch:
Ah you may not have it enabled in settings. In system Ui tuner/other you'll find the option to enable or disable multi window by swiping.

Nexus 6P
[Nexus 6P General] unknown1205:
oh cool, didnt know about that. i just enabled it and tried to swipe up again from the recent apps menu and it still didnt do anything. :(

I am on MM, decrypted, with ElementalX.

So the steps for me would be:

Flash N (without wiping data) with modified boot.img in #408.

Flash latest TWRP.

Boot directly into TWRP.

Install SuperSU.

Boot.

Is this correct? Do I NEED to wipe my data to get TWRP working?
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Yes that's correct. No, since your device is already decrypted, you wouldn't need to wipe the data at all. TWRP will be fine. :cool:
