You might have to wipe userdata
[Nexus 6P General] Warnahly:
i flashed this one

ANDROID N DOWNLOADS

NPD35K

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4y...w?usp=drivesdk

and still the same
[Nexus 6P General] jaythenut:
Yeah your going have to wipe userdata

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
[Nexus 6P General] RepGS2ol:
I flashedcf-auto root via fastboot than installed flashfire and flashed the systemless adaway zip (found in adaway xda thread) ;)
[Nexus 6P General] eman3316@optonline.net:
Which setting in Flashfire did you use? I know the default one said you might not be able to take OTA's anymore if you use that option so I didn't go through with it.
[Nexus 6P General] :
Flashable radio & bootloader

Radio:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24549084345926390

Bootloader:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24545065934258631

This will NOT brick you, these have been tested. Every single OTA flashes bootloaders, it's only if you turn off device mid bootloader flash or unplug cable if fast boot flashing.
[Nexus 6P General] RepGS2ol:
I let everything normal (my bootloader was already unlocked) and just select flash zip and cwm. When the phone rebooted there vas an error (green android with error in red) but I just powered off and turned on and I had zero ad since then so it must have worked.
[Nexus 6P General] dephsone:

[Nexus 6P General] Franzie3:
Gotta remember source isn't available for the dp3 kernel. if your flashing elemental, or anything it's gonna be based off of DP2 and im pretty sure significant kernel changes are done.
[Nexus 6P General] bigmew2:
So quick question, I'm on preview 3 right now but on preview 2 I got the new folders in Android N and then I felt it was unstable so flashed back to stock and then I decided to go back to Android N again but I didn't get the new folders and I still don't have them now after updating to preview 3. Is there a reason why I wouldn't have the new folders?

Don't know why or how, but I am rooted on DP3 and Android pay is working flawlessly without a workaround. ?

[Nexus 6P General] netwokz:
I have to wait till I'm off work to flash DP3, but can anyone confirm if music randomly pauses like in DP3? Or has that been addressed? That was the only reason I went back to MM.
[Nexus 6P General] bouchigo:
Yeah, as long as you don't install xposed, /system root, DPI changes, etc. Works the same as stock MM.
[Nexus 6P General] Franzie3:
I believe because starting with SuperSU 2.68 and up it handles the work for you
[Nexus 6P General] bouchigo:
There's no work to be handled (but yes, the zip changed permissions a while ago), it's just a simple permissions change to the /su directory.

Anyway, it's just an unintended side effect that AP happens to work with systemless root. If Google really wanted to kill this "side effect" they've had ample time to do it; I'm guessing they really don't care, and won't do anything about it until the CC card companies start complaining again.
[Nexus 6P General] Nitemare3219:
I am system rooted as well with BusyBox and V4A installed and SELinux permissive. I haven't tested Android Pay, but I was able to add a card without a problem. Is that indicative that it should work? I had the opportunity to test it today but didn't.

i have been trying to root since morning im on dp3

i flashed the correct boot.img from this link and after i flash twrp i reboot to recovery and all i see is twrp welcome screen stuck there, i cant actually use it

what can i do ?
[Nexus 6P General] :
Try multirom twrp
[Nexus 6P General] Warnahly:
Can you explain more please ?
[Nexus 6P General] Roseysdaddy:

[Nexus 6P General] Roseysdaddy:
Thank You! Before I go any farther, I just want to be clear: I can factory reset in twrp, then flash those three zips in twrp and SU and be good to go?
[Nexus 6P General] :
1. Wipe->advanced

-Wipe system, data, caches

2. Flash bootloader, radio then system

3. Flash SuperSU 2.74
[Nexus 6P General] Warnahly:
i did flash multirom now, and now i'm stuck on google splash screen
[Nexus 6P General] :
U flashed multirom twrp?
[Nexus 6P General] Warnahly:
yes
[Nexus 6P General] Roseysdaddy:
Awesome, thanks again. One last question: Why is there no vendor image to flash with this, or is it included in the system zip?
[Nexus 6P General] :
I have no idea man, try going back to stock recovery then flashing twrp over that

Included :good:

[Nexus 6P General] kenbrownstone:

[Nexus 6P General] :
Seriously man! Not to be rude but that is one stupid question. Rovo has never and will never update for previews and even after the full release in September/November it'll be a couple months. Sorry to be so harsh but this could've been googled in about 2 seconds or you could've tried flashing it yourself. :good:
[Nexus 6P General] treIII:
Thanks for the response. And yes it was rude. If I could've found the answer at that moment I wouldn't have asked. It was directed to those who may give a courteous response. You shouldn't have responded if it bothered you so much.
[Nexus 6P General] xgrind:
Maybe ElementalX is not updated for DP3?
[Nexus 6P General] seh6183:
After I flashed the preview and superSU with TWRP, I booted and had no superSU. I then rebooted to recovery to find that I can no longer decrypt my partition with TWRP and can't flash or do anything. I was going to try multirom TWRP, but does anyone have any insight on this before I do it?

Also, I see that someone was just asking about xposed. I fully intend to flash the framework for MM to see what happens, that is as soon as I get TWRP working again.... I'll post here with results if I can get TWRP working.

**Edit. I see that I need to decrypt and reflash. Will start working on that now.**

[Nexus 6P General] PhillyFlyer:
Yeah please share how-to get TWRP to boot again because I am hung on the twrp boot screen but can't boot into recovery to flash supersu or anything for that matter. Guess I'll have to return to full stock and start from scratch? Unless anyone has a solution. Thx
[Nexus 6P General] blitzerking1:
I upgraded from PN. All I did was manually flash all the fastboot files except recovery. Also I replaced the stock boot image with the no force encrypt one. After I booted into Android and setup the phone I rebooted to twrp and flashed the latest SuperSU beta.
[Nexus 6P General] seh6183:
That's what I did. I got frustrated and just wiped the whole phone with adb commands in fastboot. Then I manually flashed each .img from the official google firmware and instead of the stock boot.img I replaced it with the modified one that doesn't force encryption. Rebooted, went through setup and made sure it said I was not encrypted under security, then rebooted back to TWRP. I flashed systemless root and then rebooted to verify and all is well. Restored with TiBu and all seems well. Sort of....

Still haven't tried xposed and adaway doesn't work. I might need to update the apk or adaway might need the kernel to be set to permissive. Also, I tried to flash francos kernel and the phone wouldn't boot so I had to go back to the modified one.
[Nexus 6P General] jaythenut:
Xposed will not work if I was you don't try lol go to the adaway thread on XDA there's a systemless adaway you can flash and works great

[Nexus 6P General] Michael in ATL:
Dude, you have to flash a decrypted boot.img file and then format userdata. See this awesome guide from XDA Contributor Dhananjay: http://www.droidorigin.com/decrypt-nexus-6p/
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
TWRP has issues with decrypting N preview or booting with it. To make it work, you will just need to decrypt your storage.
[Nexus 6P General] seh6183:
What they are telling you is right but I want to warn you. My TWRP wasn't working as well because I was encrypted. I flashed the modified kernel and wiped everything I could and even reinstalled TWRP and nothing would make it work. I had to wipe the entire phone and start over. So if it can happen to me it can happen to you. Wipe the entire phone and reflash everything. Find guides to walk you through it.
[Nexus 6P General] Coderedpl:
So I'm looking into flashing N on my phone to give it a go, coming from a custom MM Rom.

From what I gather, in order to go for it and have root:

Flash multirom TWRP,

Flash modified boot.img

Wipe blah blah blah

Flash the three files posted earlier (radio, system and bl)

Flash superuser

Am I correct here?

A bit confused about the first two though.

Also, to go back, to marshmallow, just need to make sure I flash the mm boot.img and then reflash Rom?
[Nexus 6P General] seh6183:
You don't need multirom TWRP. I'm running with the standard TWRP downloaded directly from their website for this device.

I don't know if wiping in TWRP will get you working though. I had to fastboot erase the entire phone and flash everything through fastboot. You may not have to though.
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Include the vendor.img in the above list. Start by wiping the system, cache, and dalvik partitions first, and then everything else would be fine.

If you want to return to MM, just re-flash your desired custom ROM, and flash its corresponding vendor image. :good:
[Nexus 6P General] mattwheat:
You're correct you don't need multirom. Plus the beta.SuperSU.zip that you will need to flash to get root doesn't flash correctly or it doesn't stick after reboot. But either way it will just boot loop after you flash SuperSU on multirom. I've found that the TWRP 3.0.2 works great with the beta.SuperSU. zip. No issue it roots it just fine.

---------- Post added at 12:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 PM ----------

If you only flash bootloader, system, modified boot, and vender it shouldn't encrypt your phone. Its the userdata.IMG that encrypts your phone.
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Just a little correction. It's the boot.img that forces encryption on the /data partition.

I always get the Error 7 when using the files provided here in the forum or the official OTA files
[Nexus 6P General] nickporwal:
Guys, can i flash the new bootloader on marshmallow? I searched and found that radio is safe to be flashed on MM but didn't got any definite answer for bootloader.
[Nexus 6P General] Coderedpl:
Seems like vendor stuff is included in system now, no? Someone stated that in a previous post, and I see vendor files in system file
[Nexus 6P General] galaxys:
No, only Radio can be flashed between MM or N.

Update: disregard above, they both should work...
[Nexus 6P General] :
Wrong, they both are backwards compatible

[Nexus 6P General] :
Hey sorry! I saw it and then got distracted. Scroll back a couple pages and find a post by me, it's got a flashable system zip with link to AFH. It'll work on multirom
[Nexus 6P General] StarShoot97:
I tried to flash that one as a secondary and got Error 7

Tried a fix from the forums, but still the same
[Nexus 6P General] danielrod:
This had been asked a couple of times but I couldn't really find an answer. I'm coming from pure Nexus rom and from what I understand it's possible to flash the files via twrp? So would I wipe system, flash radio, flash modified decrypted boot.img, then flash DP3 zip, and finally superSU?
[Nexus 6P General] cocchiararo:
why would you wipe /system if you are flashing a zip containing /system ? :P

Also, if you are currently in a custom rom, i would not go to a stock N (or MM for that matter) without factory reset.

Finally, flashing the modified boot.img does not decript, only prevents the automatic encription on the first boot, but that is unnecesary since superSU does that already.
[Nexus 6P General] danielrod:
Haha I worded that weirdly I think. I meant wiping data/factory reset when I said system. Thank you for answering my questions, I'm going to try it out. If anything doesn't go right I have a backup available.
[Nexus 6P General] Barsky:
For N I flash twrp 3.0.0-0. It will get past that screen. Then I wipe data which decrypts. Then I am able to update to the latest twrp.
[Nexus 6P General] MrMarques01:
Yup, same here
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
No no, please don't be mistaken with this. In fact now, with the 6P, the vendor/prop files are now stored on a separate partition, and it is equally important.
[Nexus 6P General] Coderedpl:
Good thing i checked then lol

So in that case:

Wipe

Flash modified boot.img

TWRP: Flash the three files posted earlier (radio, system and bl)

TWRP: Flash vendor.img

TWRP: Flash superuser

and should be good to go ?
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Put the wipe on the top and then yes, you are good to go. :good:
[Nexus 6P General] Coderedpl:

[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:

[Nexus 6P General] bouchigo:
It doesn't really matter if you flash the boot.img first and then wipe, or wipe and then flash the boot.img. As long as you don't try booting the OS it will be fine.
