Yes the boot.img and fastboot format userdata to get twrp for working. I think it is better to flash all files over fastboot.

First Android N preview then the modified boot.img and format userdata for decrypt your device.

that's the zip I'm trying to flash with flashfire that put me into the bootloop
[Nexus 6P General] jaythenut:
use twrp
[Nexus 6P General] kellybrf:
I don't have twrp, I just used cf as I don't really have a need for a custom recovery anymore and it seems flashing twrp right not is a headache I don't need to mess with.
[Nexus 6P General] fracman:
Can u lay out the steps to flash everything using fastboot? Including root and superSU? I'm seeing zips to flash and fastboot also. I'm getting confused.
[Nexus 6P General] inzaghi75:
I would flash the factory IMG (tgz) with the Nexus Root toolkit at first.

Then booting into bootloader and fastboot the modified boot.img and after that fastboot format userdata and fastboot format cache. Then you flash recovery boot into recovery and flash SuperSU.

Ohhhhh my oh my!!! Can you please share your steps on how to flash the n preview 3 as secondary ROM please sir?? I've been waiting for this day!! And are you having to flash corresponding vendor images when booting into either your MM ROM or developer preview 3? Either post here or pm me please. Edit: found info in the multiROM thread. But thank you for the heads up. I will proceed with this later tonight after work. Wish me luck.
[Nexus 6P General] fracman:
This thread is just full of confusion. Good luck.
[Nexus 6P General] mattwheat:
My bad you're correct. But then the modified boot.IMG should take care of that then
[Nexus 6P General] bouchigo:
I suggest you forget the zips for flashing and use fastboot. Flashing zips is absolutely unnecessary in this case. Use Heisenberg's guide, that's all the info. you need :good:
[Nexus 6P General] inzaghi75:
Yes that's right [emoji1]

What's the procedure for flashing them to get root and twrp then?
[Nexus 6P General] kellybrf:
for those still having problem, I just need the updated flashfire. it's a test build in the thread, but after upgrading it flashed fine and adaway is up and running
[Nexus 6P General] Nitemare3219:
Several posts in the thread with exact instructions. Search "system.img" or something and find a post with the fastboot flash instructions for all the .img files.

If you have never unencrypted your device, you will need to make sure you erase/flash the userdata.img (I think that's what it's called) as well so that it doesn't encrypt the phone - that is the only way to get TWRP to work, and consequently root.
[Nexus 6P General] fracman:
That's the problem. Everybody has different instructions to do this. There are several different ways to flash in this thread alone
[Nexus 6P General] Nitemare3219:
How is your device currently setup? Stock? Custom ROM/root?
[Nexus 6P General] MrMarques01:
Dude, several people have tried to help you already. Plus, there's a wonderful sticky thread by Heisenberg that contains all your answers. If that's still too confusing to you, maybe you should stay away from the whole flashing game.

Don't get your hopes up, I haven't been successful yet in flashing the provided zip as a secondary ROM. It fails with error 7.
[Nexus 6P General] inthedark22:
Finaly got it installed. Downloaded the 3 files in post #1423.fastboot flashed the multorom twrp. Flashed the 3 zip files in twrp. Then fastboot steps 6 and 7 of link in post #1517.(this erased the phone) luckely i backed up;) . Booted phone and downloaded the systemless zip for adaway. Reboot in bootloader cause twrp did not boot anymore, the opening screen kept on but no twrp. Fastboot flashed twrp 3.0.2. 0. Reboot in recovery flashed the adaway zip. Rebooted and installed adaway apk.

Pfffff finaly worked
[Nexus 6P General] Roseysdaddy:
When booting into recovery I only get the TWRP splash screen, it never loads. Do i need to flash twrp via fastboot or can i do it from within the android os?
[Nexus 6P General] inzaghi75:
Flash twrp with fastboot and then reboot into recovery.

Gesendet von meinem oneplus2 mit Tapatalk
[Nexus 6P General] Roseysdaddy:
I did that. Still not getting anything other than the TWRP splash screen.
[Nexus 6P General] :
You need to be decrypted.
[Nexus 6P General] inzaghi75:
Did you format userdata and cache for decrypt after flashing the boot.img?

Gesendet von meinem oneplus2 mit Tapatalk
[Nexus 6P General] Roseysdaddy:
Any idea how to do that? And will that be it? The last response to me said just to reinstall twrp.
[Nexus 6P General] inzaghi75:
If you read all these pages you know that twrp works only if you decrypt your device. So format your storage. And then flash recovery.

Gesendet von meinem oneplus2 mit Tapatalk
[Nexus 6P General] :
fastboot format userdata

This wipes EVERYTHING off your internal storage (sdcard)

- DCIM folder

- Downloads

- All that stuff

That should be it. Make backups, copy internal storage to PC, run command, copy back. Then try to boot into twrp.
[Nexus 6P General] havy15:
so i read in here that snapchat crashes is that true?
[Nexus 6P General] kenbrownstone:

[Nexus 6P General] havy15:
hey guys so i flashed super su but i dont have it in my phone by chance?\

alright so i tried to go to recovery and its just stuck at the twrp logo. umm did i break root? I was on pure rom before and all i did was flash the bootloader system and radio through twrp. did i do something wrong?
[Nexus 6P General] jaythenut:
You need to flash modified boot img

Got those asking about battery life... This is on the stock modified kernel

This is just screen on, web browsing, playing around on XDA, Google+, and the like.
[Nexus 6P General] :
What is this magic? I think my battery is messed up:confused:

My max is about 3 hours
[Nexus 6P General] BakedTator:
I don't have many apps installed...only 1 game and my new emulator for games and everything else is root stuff

How did you flash Android n? I used twrp to install modified boot, system, and vendor then removed the different keyboards, then flashed SuperSU 2.74 and seemless adaway and we are good...lol...also using dark layers as you can tell

Also had this installed since it's been released so it's had time to settle in real well

Forgot to mention...I don't use ambient display...makes the screen stay on too much
[Nexus 6P General] :
Ive got a N6 I think it's just old. I have auto-sync off, I'm using aggressive doze with greenify, ambient off, auto brightness off, screen saver off, basically everything off. I'm thinking it's battery problem because it dies at 10% and takes about 3 to 4 hours to charge even with quick charger.
[Nexus 6P General] BakedTator:
Ahhhh...thought you had a 6p...that's some Nexus 6p battery life
[Nexus 6P General] ReapinDevil:

In developer options, scroll to the bottom, and set background process limit to 2-3. Also you can disable pop-up on key press.

Well it's actually not that hard for the 6, I think it's harder for 6P.

After having flashed the n preview 3, can I just flash a marshmallow from in TWRP or do I need to format my device again to flash a marshmallow ROM?

You can flash mm without wiping the sdcard, but you will just have to do a normal clean install. Don't forget to flash the latest mm vendor image too

[Nexus 6P General] tylerdurden83:
Hello everyone, I'm a bit of a rookie here, I just upgraded to the 5x from 5, and I was wondering how the 5x + encryption + n dev preview 3 change things a bit compared to what I'm familiar with.

Usually I'd

1) unlock the bootloader, nothing complex, just fastboot oem unlock

2) flash the latest factory image

3) fastboot flash recovery twrp

4) in the recovery flash latest supersu zip

This is basically it on N5. On 5X I head many different versions of the story, part due to encryption, part due to N.

Is there a simple, yet updated, step to step guide?
[Nexus 6P General] :
Any way to get twrp to work?

Decrypt your phone's storage. It will then work properly.

You have to need to be decrypted and flash modified boot image.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=66975921

See this post
[Nexus 6P General] BakedTator:
The modified boot.img is what you need to be decrypted...if you are encrypted before flashing it, make a backup of you sdcard contents on your PC, and the fastboot format userdata after flashing the modified boot.img

Then after you boot your phone up and verify its not encrypted, move everything back to you sdcard
[Nexus 6P General] Coderedpl:
Crap, Guess I missed the part about formatting to finish off "decrypting", I flashed the modified boot.img but I was already encrypted before so nothing really changed here, guess I'll be re flashing everything soon
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
If you have already flashed the modified boot image, just take a backup of your storage and use the fastboot format userdata command.

Barely any need to re-flash anything, until you have your reasons. :good:
[Nexus 6P General] Mikulec:
Is it possible to encrypt the storage after flashing N and root if I don't need to use twrp?
[Nexus 6P General] :
Yes. Go to security in settings and tap encrypt phone
[Nexus 6P General] plisskenn:
Is it too hard to lay out exact flash instructions without saying "oh and flash modified boot" or "flash bootloader if you need it".

Exact twrp flash and computer usb flash. What data gets wiped, what to backup, etc.
[Nexus 6P General] RayMcGrath:
Here's what I did:

Downloaded and installed the latest n build from Android beta program. (with minimum setup)

Then flashed modified boot.img (adb)

Then formatted user data (wipes internal storage, so backup your stuff)

Flashed custom recovery - TWRP

Then flashed supersu 2.71

Restore backed up files.

It's used for the new direct boot feature, which enables the device to boot up quicker in case of an accidental or soft reboot. It's the only way to enable the feature AFAIK.

If you have a secondary Google account log on to it and sign up through it. Worked for me as my main account did same thing and kept saying no eligible devices and I've had my 6p since it came out and every Nexus made before it. ? Soon as I logged onto my secondary Google account it allowed me to enroll and all went perfecto. Wish I could recall the name of the user who I read this from as this was the solution for me and I did not find it.. Anyway hope that helps.
[Nexus 6P General] Displax:
Does anyone have OTA URL to back to stok from DP?
[Nexus 6P General] abhipc:
If I understand it correctly, you're looking for a link that will help you move back to previous Marshmallow build Over the Air.

For that you'll need to go to the android beta program page and click on "Unenroll Device" button. Your phone will revert to stock.
[Nexus 6P General] Displax:
I know that. But it would be nice if someone grub OTA link for sideload.
[Nexus 6P General] abhipc:
Ohh sorry, I see what you mean now.

Nope haven't seen anyone share the OTA files
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
There is no way that you can sideload a previous version on the latest. I hope I understood, what you are trying to convey.

If you click "Unenroll device" on this page, Google send you reverse OTA to latest stock build.

[Nexus 6P General] Displax:
You can get it on this page - https://www.google.com/android/beta
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Well, actually there isn't a physical OTA in-hand right now. So, you are left to go with two ways.

Either opt for Android Beta Program, or flash the developer preview. I have a tutorial here.
[Nexus 6P General] :
So I forgot to disable encryption before booting N... Luckily I found this post on reddit showing that being encrypted/decrypted doesn't take nearly as much of a toll with the 6P compared to other phones: https://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus6P/comments/3qlz69/encrypted_vs_decrypted_benchmarks/

I also decided to benchmark the read/write speeds, and in N they have improved across the board!

Sequential read: 274.55 MB/s

Sequential write: 125.83 MB/s

Random read: 20.52 MB/s

Random write: 11.95 MB/s

I only ever disabled encryption because my old Nexus 6 took a HUGE performance hit with FDE (Google the benchmarks).

Maybe I'll stay encrypted this time around!
[Nexus 6P General] sjandroiddeveloper:
Well I already said that I know how to flash using faatboot and is there any other way to apply ota other than signing into beta program ( the thing is there is some signal problems in my place and the stock ota downloader is piece of **** as it cuts the download the moment data stops even momentarily, I.e. no pause and resume)

I asked for any other way as some pages before a guy said he successfully flashed it using twrp , so I was wondering how is that possible
[Nexus 6P General] eleazar123:
Sorry if this has already been asked (i searched "swap" with no luck)... any chance of someone releasing a mod to swap the navbar keys? That's the only thing keeping me from trying out the beta.

Daily driver material from me. I kinda miss layers, but not really. Liking the stock feel so far.

Android Pay is working, can't ask for much more.

[Nexus 6P General] bouchigo:
I wasn't going to say anything, but you keep calling it bootloader, it's not, it's boot.img or kernel(this is more for zImage, but people know what it's in reference to), they are two different/separate things.

2. Paste the apk in /system/priv-app/SystemUI using TWRP file manager

3. Then delete the folder in SystemUI, I think its called oat using TWRP file manager
