Ok, so I know the steps and how to go to DP3 as I have used the other previews and back to MM again, but both times I tried this time, it does bootloop on the Google logo, it shows white Google logo, then back to the unlocked warning and to logo again, will NOT boot OS. Do I have to boot up before installing SuperSU? like boot up then go back into recovery and install? I did everything in fast boot, including decrypted boot IMG, booted directly into recovery, flashed superSU 2.72 and that is when boot loop occurred, happened twice, and I'm already decrypted
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Try flashing SuperSU 2.74, and boot again.
[Nexus 6P General] yung40oz84:
I didn't even know there was 2.74??? 2.64? What root is everyone else using?
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
I am using 2.74. You might want to try that.
[Nexus 6P General] yung40oz84:
Ya it was just updated, I did it first thing this morning, lol, so I'll give that a go, thanks!
[Nexus 6P General] bmg1001:
You have to enable the swipe up gesture in System UI Tuner.

EDIT: didn't see you got the answer already. My bad
[Nexus 6P General] jasonsaw96:
hey.. im on mm rooted now, but i have not decrypted data partition, so do i have to wipe after flashing the preview 3?
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
If you want TWRP and other custom goodies then you would eventually need to decrypt on N. The correct way, is by first flashing the modified boot.img and then formatting the /data partition, using the 'fastboot format userdata' command in bootloader mode.
[Nexus 6P General] jasonsaw96:
hmm, is it safe to fastboot format userdata? i read the guide it says that 64gb and 128gb will end up less storage capacity.
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Flashing the userdata.img is considered unsafe, since it intends to decrease your phone's storage space to 32 GB, but that is easily fixable.

Anyways, using the command I mentioned, is completely safe and used by almost everyone here. And to assure, it won't decrease your storage size at all. :good:
[Nexus 6P General] jasonsaw96:
Great. So just to make sure that i will be doing it right. flash N preview 3 --> modified boot.img --> fastboot format userdata --> flash twrp

correct?
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Good to go brother. :cool:
[Nexus 6P General] KDB223:
OK did just that. Flashed SuperSU 2.74. But root access is dodgy. I can access /data, but can't modify /system, which leaves me with no Adaway ☹️. Even TWRP can touch /system. What's going on here?
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Weird, I am not sure. Have you decrypted your storage?
[Nexus 6P General] KDB223:
Yes, it's decrypted (Settings > Security says "Encrypt Phone")
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
I am not sure if system or systemless root has any relation here. Someone else here, with more knowledge on this might be able to help.

Just for a wild guess, unroot fully, and try flashing Super SU again.
[Nexus 6P General] jasonsaw96:
I am on android n preview 3 now. But i still cannot access to my internal through file manager, it shows superuser not available atm. I am using Cabinet. any ideas? And my whatsapp is not prompting me to restore, i have checked the backup from drive, its still there. :crying:

edit : i did flash superuser just now and even granted permission.
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
I have not used any root explorer to modify the system parition, so I am completely clueless on this. As for WhatsApp, it is probably an app issue. It did show me the option to restore my backup from drive.
[Nexus 6P General] jasonsaw96:
thats weird tho...it worked for you but not for me...
[Nexus 6P General] KDB223:
I had backed up my Adaway-modified hosts file before flashing N, just in case this BS happened. When Adaway failed to apply the file, I tried to manually copy the backed up hosts file to /system/etc. Tried with Solid Explorer, didn't work (failed to remount /system). Tried Root Explorer, and it worked perfectly. :D

This probably means that Root Explorer's way of handling R/O filesystems is the proper way to do it, and most apps don't do it this way.
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Try clearing the app data and try again.
[Nexus 6P General] jasonsaw96:
no luck. now i have to wait for 7 hours again to get the code. maybe i should just go back to mm

is it possible that it is related to my internal issue? but i was able to restore during preview 1 even tho the file explorer does not shows my file
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Haha, happens to me all the time, I am mostly switching every few days.

If you want apps and stability, you really should stick to MM. :good:
[Nexus 6P General] El-Lobo68:
Sorry ...one small question?the new npreview 3 Boot.img is decrypted?
[Nexus 6P General] nadiros:
That's what this threads all about yo!
[Nexus 6P General] unknown1205:
i cant get adaway to work either. it asks for root, which i grant, and then it says cant copy host file. on supersu 2.72
[Nexus 6P General] BakedTator:
For adaway to work you need to flash adaway seem less and you need your kernel to be permissive for some other things to work with root...be sure you install busy box as well peeps
[Nexus 6P General] jaythenut:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6bczptEI-1LQkNNa2V2UzlGZk0/view?usp=drivesdk

Flash this make sure you have adaway installed
[Nexus 6P General] duminduweera:
There is an special Zip file in the adway thread, in systemless root you have to flash this get adway to work.
[Nexus 6P General] bmg1001:
I use to have an issue similar to this. I believe you might need to have SELinux set to permissive. That's what fixed it for me.
[Nexus 6P General] 4RK4N:
let whatsapp call you. takes a few secs and u get a call. a female computer voice tells you your verification code over and over til u hang up. note it down and ur done.

have done it today morning worked like with sms (not allowing them to read my sms anyway).

question remaining: why the hell 8 hours whatsapp? xD

EDIT: dont tell me the call option has 8 hrs cooldown too?
[Nexus 6P General] jasonsaw96:
After going back to marshmallow I had to wait for few hours to get the code/call. When I press get verification code or call it says WhatsApp is temporarily unavailable, please try again 5 minutes later. So I tried again and again after 5 minutes until I got so upset with it... haha then I went to sleep and the next day I woke up boom I got the code in one try.
[Nexus 6P General] jsminnis:
I feel like I'm doing something wrong, but for the life of me I can't figure out what it is. I flashed android n preview 3 then this boot.img and when I try to root by using the latest supersu beta 2.74 then it always does a systemless root. Why is it not doing system root? Any Ideas please.
[Nexus 6P General] jaythenut:
Because there's only systemless
[Nexus 6P General] jsminnis:
I was under the impression this was for system root, since the title says "regular root" which to me is non-systemless. So, I take it there are no kernels right now that will do system root? In that case, are we looking at this to be the future of android? I don't care about android pay and I feel like system root is easier for the fact that i don't have to be so careful of the modifications I make, such as permissive mode. I know there is a logd file I flash to bypass the safe mode problem, but i would prefer to not have to flash so many fixes just because I have systmeless root.
[Nexus 6P General] jaythenut:
If you want full root maybe flash SuperSU 2.52 but really don't know if it will work

[Nexus 6P General] blisside:
I'm using Android N beta 1 or dev preview 3 depending on how you see it and after installing the custom boot image i installed recovery and when I boot into recovery all I see is the twrp logo, I left it to boot for a solid 30 minutes and got nothing oh I am also rooted using cf auto root

So my questions are do I need to flash the boot image first? And does cf auto root affect me in anyway?
[Nexus 6P General] BakedTator:
Please read through the thread...this has been discussed 7362848473729 times already...your phone is encrypted and you need to unencrypt it by wiping your sdcard after flashing the modified boot.img...that simple...use fastboot to flash the modified kernel, then using fastboot, format userdata
[Nexus 6P General] ps000000:
Do we success full root to touch something like change build.prop etc....

(N Preview 3)
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
It doesn't matter when you flash TWRP/CF-Auto-Root. You will just need to decrypt the complete storage, by first flashing the modified boot.img, and then just 'fastboot format userdata'.
[Nexus 6P General] blisside:
so if i want to keep my phone encrypted if i wait long enough a version of twrp will come out that can read encrypted files on android N (i dont want to unencrypt mainly because i do not want to wipe my data as i dont have time to restore it all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Yes, if you want TWRP to work with encrypted N, you probably will need to wait.
[Nexus 6P General] ongjingxian:
does this work for cm13?
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
It is definitely system root on MM using my modified sepolicy and removed dm checks. But sense Android N they redid the whole sepolicy and the way it's handled I have yet to have time to try and get make a sepolicy for N. So N is decrypted for those who are decrypted already or those that want to get into twrp.
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
My MM boot.img are modified for system root just like those other person work files you posted in MY thread. But feel free use those ones instead :good:
[Nexus 6P General] jsminnis:
Thank you for the reply. I was hoping for regular root on N, but until then I will stay on MM. I am looking forward to your progress. Thanks again.
[Nexus 6P General] holla420:

[Nexus 6P General] kylepsp:

Oh man, I am truly sorry and apologize if I posted those links inappropriately. I certainly wasn't trying to take away from your excellent work and contribution.

I will gladly modify my post to remove the link to avoid confusion. Sorry again and thank you for your contributions to the community. :good:
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
It's all good no worries:good:
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
Yeah I hear yea. Soon as I can get my sepolicy edited to boot on N you know I'll throw it up here. As of now I can't and I don't know any personally that can. Hopefully soon :good:

Flashed NPD35K version on 6p Beta 3:

I am encrypted.

TRWP 3.0.0 asks for pw ( I have a pattern and put in numerical code for that)

TWRP 3.0.1 - stuck at TWRP Splash

TWRP 3.0.2 - stuck at TWRP Splash

Is there anyway to get TWRP working on NPD35K?
[Nexus 6P General] inzaghi75:

[Nexus 6P General] plisskenn:
Does this wipe all of my internal data? Ie. Downloads?
[Nexus 6P General] SlimSnoopOS:
Yes, everything.
[Nexus 6P General] TechXero:
Same here. Wiping userdata will make us start fresh. It's a pain but has to be done. Will do it on my day off Sunday. TWRP is only needed for flashing ROMs n Kernels which isn't necessary IMHO. Not at this very instant at least. N is still young needs time to get more support. I just need a few tweaks to tweak Status bar. Root is enough for now ;)
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
New June update boot.img coming soon. Just FYI. Already got edits done and added sepolicy. Just have to get a test flash before I post.
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
OP updated with June update same as always was tested by my homie [MENTION=4286591]holla420[/MENTION]!
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
that s why first thing i do after unlocking is decrypt device and that is the only time i ever have done it. i agree it is a pain if your all setup and all that good stuff.:good:
[Nexus 6P General] TechXero:
Yep. N doesn't need TWRP unless you want to go back to custom MM ROMs... But N is good for now ?

Plus decrypting N reeks havoc on Android Wear... Dunno why...
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
Yeah I couldn't use my watch on N preview. I went back to MM myself cause I gotta have my 2nd generation moto working.
[Nexus 6P General] holla420:

[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Blessing for me though. Everything is working fine with Decrypted N DP3 with Moto 360 2nd Gen. And BTW thumbs up for the new boot.img.

What do I need to do to go back to a MM rom coming from N Preview 3
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
Does Google Maps work on your watch on N bro?
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
You can just flash the new MM factory imgs and use this boot.img instead of stock one.
[Nexus 6P General] joqsan:
Which boot.img? And can all the img's be flashed through recovery or do they have to be flashed using fastboot
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
The boot.img I have posted in the op. You can flash via recovery but I would flash it with fastboot when you flash the other June MM factory imgs.
[Nexus 6P General] TechXero:
Yeah it works but not great. Delayed notifications, apps took half a day to sync intermittently... Battery drain like there's no tomorrow.

I will flash a custom MM ROM soon. Will reset watch to M Factory unroot it and keep it as is.I have a Huawei Watch.
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
[MENTION=5317224]Tigerstown[/MENTION]

I could confirm of Maps not working on my Moto 360 2nd Gen.

[MENTION=3385462]TechXero[/MENTION] Well unfortunately, I don't have the liberty to root my smartwatch (No physical connection, so no root). Why not unroot the watch, and see if then it works with N properly?
[Nexus 6P General] TechXero:
Oh I tried that. Same issue. Some apps even crash and OS becomes unresponsive.

I tried everything except going back to MM. No fix. Am getting annoyed now.
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Second option is to roll back to MM ROM, and see if it makes a difference.
[Nexus 6P General] TechXero:
I just might do that. Can't right now need phone for work. Will do it on Saturday or Sunday...

Android N

I look through the first five or six pages and I could be blind but I didn't see my answer.

TWRP doesn't work on a encrypted Android N , so how are you guys using TWRP to flash SuperSu ?
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
Twrp works on N on a decrypted device. You need to decrypt your device if you want to use twrp on N.
[Nexus 6P General] drawde40599:
OK , that's what I figured was going on . I was hoping there was a TWRP version running around I didn't know about .

Appreciate it , thank you
[Nexus 6P General] lkhafra:
You've got to flash a modified boot and wipe your device. After that you can flash twrp through the bootloader then flash super super through twrp if I'm correct.
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
Is there a reason you don't want to decrypt your device?
[Nexus 6P General] drawde40599:
I personally didn't have any real benefit from decrypting so I'd just rather stay encrypted .
[Nexus 6P General] holla420:
Whatever floats your boat
[Nexus 6P General] Trumpmania:
I want a regular root on my DP4 6P, can someone tell me which SuperSU to flash? I thought I had to use the 'SYSTEMMODE" edition but it is bootlooping everytime. Does flashing this modified boot.img mean I can just use the regular beta superSU to get a system root? If not...I have a lot more questions to ask :(

thanks!
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
All good your device your call just was wondering.
[Nexus 6P General] Tigerstown:
You will not have system root on N as of now. You need a custom SePolicy like I have in the MM boot.img to be able to boot your device with system root. Once it's official released I will be working on that for N but when N drops I probably won't have this device. But I sure someone will hook it up.
[Nexus 6P General] holla420:
Yo are you getting force closes when u go into settings/storage/images,video or audio? Me and [MENTION=5317224]Tigerstown[/MENTION] trying to figure out what's causing this.

Can i use this boot image to get twrp working without wiping and decrypting my data? I have everything set up just right, plus I don't want a non-encrypted phone, but on DP4 i'm really missing root. (i'm on a 6p, was running stock rooted until i decided to try the n preview yesterday. now i'm really missing root, and will probably go back to 6.0.1 if i can't get twrp working without decryption)
[Nexus 6P General] silvertrain78:
I was getting A LOT of freezing while using Chrome, so I'm also trying to narrow down potential factors..

First I flashed from factory image (substituting the modified boot.img), then I formatted userdata. Set everything up, then rooted with CF Auto Root, then used Flashfire to install TWRP 3.0.2.

It was suggested to me that CF Auto Root employs an older kernel patch incompatible with NP4. Right now I'm on a completely stock installation, but am considering another go at rooting, only this time with TWRP and a SuperSU v2.74-2 .zip
[Nexus 6P General] holla420:
