I presume the beta ota only works if you are in stock M, won't work if you have custom recovery and custom ROM correct?
[Nexus 6P General] Smallsmx3:
What about radio IMG?
[Nexus 6P General] t2jbird:
I'm on DU ROM and just signed up for the Beta Program. Got a system update almost immediately. Not sure about installing it though, because of the custom recovery and current ROM.

Curious about this also
[Nexus 6P General] ZacksBuilds:
Is there a flash able zip being made?

Also if I want to go into the beta program how do I go from cm13 to being able to download and install the OTA?
[Nexus 6P General] cocchiararo:
I am teying W, and it is good so far.

Emby client broke again tho, and solid explorer has issues. (Besides root).

What were the 2 recommended ones?

This is what's really tempting me to hop on, I just don't use any of the things people are reporting errors with. The heat-up was really the only thing holding me back, and it looks like they fixed that with W

Definitely worth trying. I am sticking to it as my daily driver.

Is there a good way to use pie-like controls on it? I didn't think I'd care that much but the pie features in gravitybox are like a total necessity to me now

There's no way to force the W build to show up to update OTA? I can't seem to trigger the W update.

[Nexus 6P General] RemnantKing2:
I've tried that an it's a no-go, I guess I have to wait a little longer.
[Nexus 6P General] steviemch:
I had none of those problems on P, and W has definitely made the phone speedier. I was interested to hear Maps gave you problems on N. I drove 600 miles yesterday (give or take) while using maps without an issue on W. Uninstalling apps had never been a problem. Flash W and see if it's sorted your issues. Other than a few apps not working, which is to be expected, this is definitely daily driver material for me.
[Nexus 6P General] d.brown:
Hey guy... Any idea why twrp 3.0.0.1 was working after flashing "W" version but now it get stuck at the recovery title screen?

Is it because of the encryption?

I'm having the same issue, so you're not alone. I've been flashing Roms since the days of the HTC Evo, however for some reason I haven't even unlocked the bootloader on this phone. I just want the OTA process to work. If things don't happen soon however, I may have to break down and do it. I keep reading how much better the w build is.
[Nexus 6P General] d.brown:
If I do will it erase my data (pictures etc)?
[Nexus 6P General] sam razzy:
Wow is it worth upgrading to this New Android N ?
[Nexus 6P General] steviemch:
Only you can answer that, the best way to find out is flash it and test. Remember it is a developer preview with bugs, but if you're interested in testing/checking it out, give it a go. Backup everything, if you don't like it, go back to MM.

The experience can vary for individual users, so what works for me might not work for you etc.
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Yes, everything.
[Nexus 6P General] ceramista:
Couldn´t of had said it better. :)

I tried N. Didn´t quite work out. Got a taste of what N is going to be. Loved it. MM seems boring in comparison but I´ll wait a little longer before flashing N again.
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Most probably the next preview.
[Nexus 6P General] StrizzMatik:
I've had much better success with 56W preview than I did with the original preview in terms of stability. There's still occasional bugs, but it's running smoothly and my main issues (Snapchat & Facebook not working properly) are fixed.

I should also state that I came from Dirty Unicorns, I flashed the factory image for the 2nd N Preview and did not have to wipe my data (flashed everything except userdata). No problems so far :)

Here is a good Explanation of how Android Rolls out its OTA's : https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1r1dz4/44_kitkat_has_started_rolling_out_on_the_n4/cdiwt6f

Directly from Dan M, from google. I'm in the same boat as you, all we can do is wait.
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Why not have a fresh install? It spares all the sticking bugs from persisting, after the update (if any).
[Nexus 6P General] matt1515:
Can someone send me stock original boot.img for Android N please need asap
[Nexus 6P General] warri:
This is true, however I like to test all facets, majority of people probably won't clean flash, so if we can identify problems it's always a good thing.
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
There is no point in stacking issues that persist from the previous update. You can always tackle and point out issues with the latest update. :good:
[Nexus 6P General] diomark:
My phones stuck on npc56p and not getting the npc56w ota:( any way to force it? I'm stock and unrooted.
[Nexus 6P General] warri:
See My Post a couple above, you have to wait, or flash in fastboot

I'm not sure what "stacking" you are doing. Each build is based on the previous build with fixes/changes. Therefore, unless a bug was squashed and fixed in a new build, it will most likely remain in the new build. You are not stacking anything.

The main reason developers recommend Clean Flashing between builds usually has to due with the possibilities of corruption of userdata during the upgrade OR the fact that many users flash custom kernels/other modifications that said developer has not accounted for, and could cause issues.

Typically, Dirty Flashing from a previous Build of the Same Developer/Rom is acceptable (for example, Rom Build 1 dirty flashing to Build 2).

Regardless, my comment was originally how OTAs roll out, and that if you want to take the OTA method (which doesnt require unlocking your bootloader and flashing using fastboot), you have to wait.

Edit - Grammer
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
No decrypted boot.img?

Also, make sure that you're currently enrolled in the Android Beta Program. And also that your device is logged-in with the same Google account that you used to enroll.

[Nexus 6P General] Degenerator9000:
Sorry, I was super unclear there

I should have asked if there was a way to enable an immersive mode that doesn't break keyboard and use an app like pie controls instead

Currently I'm using xposed to do this stuff, but before I found xposed every immersive mode app I found broke the keyboard
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
I haven't used it in a long-long time, so don't much idea. However, you can still install Pie Control app, and check, if the Keyboard is still broken, or has it been fixed since you last used it.
[Nexus 6P General] Degenerator9000:
Yeah, I tried it put yesterday and couldn't find a way to kill the navigation bar without breaking the keyboard

I might just have to learn how to murk it in the build prop editor

Battery on Android B latest W version

Should read Android N latest W version:

Flashed Android N latest W version on fresh install, no root, all stock.

On MM 6.01 battery drain overnight was 2% over 8 hours at the most

On the N latest W version it went down 30% in 6 hours overnight.

Both installs exactly the same, just a few apps no games.

Anyone else experiencing this?

[Nexus 6P General] CraigP17:

I have not tested since the latest N OTA. I will test drain tonight.

Oh, and for those who are confused about why they're stock and didn't get the OTA

Be more confused probably because I'm stock Mhc19l but with Franco kernel/root and I got it instantly after clicking the button to sign up for beta

For what it's worth, I had a ~80%-40% drop overnight running NPC56P last night.
[Nexus 6P General] andythesk8r:
I flashed the N preview and was not satisfied as i use a decent amount of xposed tweaks on a daily basis. So i decided to use WUG's toolkit to restore back to MM. After rooting and flashing twrp after flashing a rom and gapps things begin to start crashing on me. Same thing happens if i try to restore a backup too. I have tried multiple times and everytime it ends up the same way. Anyone have any idea why this is happening? Something i forgot to do when returning to MM maybe?
[Nexus 6P General] cc999:

You lost 40% overnight? Jeez that terrible.

lost 30% on W but it was just a 1 night test. I panicked and

I am on Android N beta - P build. I dont see any notification of w update? Anyway to force the update?
[Nexus 6P General] CraigP17:
So after 8 hours I woke up with battery at 92%. So the latest N is not as good as the previous for me. I also had significantly more notifications rolling in this morning. It's my birthday so fb had a million notifications and way more Hangouts and texts than a normal day. Not sure if these caused the extra 6% drain or not.
[Nexus 6P General] nadiros:
This thread is full of answers to this same question. Take a look. I'd suggest flashing the factory images straight from google but by reading through I wonder if I'm the minority here. Am I in a Nexus forum?

http://developer.android.com/preview/download.html#device-preview
[Nexus 6P General] diomark:
That's what I did. Download the latest npc56w build from Google, fastboot flash boot, system, and vendor. Reboot.
[Nexus 6P General] Degenerator9000:
The 2.68 didn't ever wind up flashing a supersu for me, but the 2.70 ended up working out in combination with flashfire

im on the first preview with root and twrp. any way to do a no wipe? searched the last few pages but didnt see anything

EDIT: checked page 31 lol
[Nexus 6P General] blaze9090:
No flashable zip so far?
[Nexus 6P General] MaliceOmega:
if you have twrp installed you dont need one. find the dload link on page 31. unzip on your phone, boot into TWRP select flash then press flash image and navigate to the zip you extracted on your phone. flash the system.img, then flash the vendor.img and then flash your preferred SU and youll be good. no wipe needed. just tested this myself
[Nexus 6P General] Degenerator9000:
If anyone cares, I managed to get adaway working on an encrypted 6P running rooted W build by

Flashing the entire W img with flash all.bat

Reboot

Power off

Boot to bootloader

Flash CF auto root 2.70

Reboot

Download adaway, the adaway systemless 2.0.zip found in the OP of adaway thread on xda, and flashfire

Install adaway and flashfire

Flashing the systemless.zip in flashfire, with the settings in the attachment

Reboot

Run adaway

"download files and apply ad blocking"

Let it run for a while and It spun forever saying "copying hosts files"

Clicked the refresh icon in the top left hand corner

"newest host files enabled"

Reboot

Done

This is just what I did, you probably don't have to flash the entire image at the beginning and I have no idea if these flashfire settings are ideal but this is just what worked for me and I'm not confident enough in what I'm doing to say that you definitely don't have to do that for this to work
[Nexus 6P General] inspeckta_dek:
In the Android beta says I have no eligible device. I have a Nexus 6p I got when I signed up for project fi is that why?
[Nexus 6P General] Degenerator9000:
Go into the Google play store and check your available devices to see if it shows up there
[Nexus 6P General] cocchiararo:
You only need to flash the image if you want to go back to a true systemless state if you messed with /system.

The rest is just what has to be done.
[Nexus 6P General] inspeckta_dek:
It shows all my old Nexus n 6p also
[Nexus 6P General] Degenerator9000:
Okay well then I actually have no idea what to do unless you're signed into 2 separate Google accounts

[Nexus 6P General] Michael in ATL:
This is my experience as well. Some apps lock up and slow the phone to a crawl, and this is after a fresh flash of all img files last night. Additionally, Amazon apps fail upon launch - seems to be an authentication issue when the app tries to confirm license, etc. I like N, but I do look for better compatibility as we move towards official release. Of course, a lot of this is on the app developer too.

Updating to NCP56W

If anyone didn't know how to update to the 56W build from the 56P build, here it is.

1. First if you have TWRP Recovery and want to keep it download TWRP 3.0-0.1. Were going to use this in place of the recovery files in the fastboot flash. Link here https://dl.twrp.me/angler/

2. Download the modified boot img from link to post here http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/stock-modified-boot-img-regular-root-t3306684, to use in place of the stock boot img.

*Make sure you download the correct one for your build.

3. Download the factory img from google link here. http://developer.android.com/preview/download.html

4. Extract the factory image.

5. *Make backups of the factory image boot and recovery since well be replacing those. Reboot device into the bootloader

6. Run the Fastboot commmands

fastboot flash bootloader <bootloader file name here>.img

fastboot flash radio <radio file name here>.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash vendor vendor.img

fastboot flash cache cache.img

ONLY DO THIS LAST OPTION IF YOU WANT TO WIPE ALL OF YOUR USERDATA!!!

*fastboot flash userdata userdata.img*

And finally

fastboot reboot

*The flash all script did not work because the boot and recovery we replaced were not signed so if you want to use the flash all script and not have twrp but want to keep your data you need to edit the flash all script and remove the"-w" within the script, save and your good to go.

*You will have to reflash SuperSU to get back root privileges link to post here. http://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/unofficial-supersu-v2-68-android-n-t3333423

*And you will have to reflash your kernel. I'm using Kylo Link to post here http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/orig-development/kernel-kylo-kernel-r1-t3241226 but there is also Elemental X Kernel link to post here http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/orig-development/kernel-elementalx-n6p-t3240571

Don't need one.

Wipe then:

Flash the system, vendor and modded boot.IMG in twrp. Then flash SU 2.70 for root.

Done.

People keep forgetting these can be flashed via the latest twrp which negates the need for fast boot.

Baseband cannot be flashed via twrp needs to still be fast booted or a toolkit used.

if you flash the userdata.img then yes you would all data.
[Nexus 6P General] sam razzy:
In the post above he mentioned we can flash this using twrp with system, vendor and boot and also he mentioned that the baseband can be only flashed using fastboot or any toolkit. But my question is if I do all this as he mentioned will I loose my data. I'm trying this img file using twrp for the first time. Before I use to flash image file using Fastboot and I know that I will loose data. So can the trick he suggested work without loosing data..?
[Nexus 6P General] MrDSL:
I'll assume you mean the files on your internal storage.

You will only lose data if you flash the userdata.img or if say you were encrypted and flashed a forced encrypted boot.img

so if you follow the instructions above

that will NOT wipe your internal storage
[Nexus 6P General] jawonder:
So 56W is the latest N build ?. To get back to Marshmallow or the rom i had before do i just restore a backup ?.

Yes you were right. I meant the internal storage and I don't want to sacrifice that in order to flash Android N. I just want to see how things going far with N build. Just some pecks of it.
