So you are telling me you have ANDROID N DEVELOPER PREVIEW FOR A 64 BIT SOC WORKING ON YOUR S4 GALAXY 32 BIT SOCs JUST BY CHANGING AROUND A FEW FILES. YOU SIR ARE THE GREATEST DEVELOPER IN THE HISTORY OF ANDROID!

PLEASE TELL US HOW YOU DID THIS!!!!!!!!!

---------- Post added at 10:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 AM ----------

Just wanted everyone to know that you can flash the OTA in twrp and retain the use of twrp easily. These are the steps that i did to get it working.

Im using multirom but everything works the same in regular TWRP.

The biggest problem everyone is having is they lose the ability to use TWRP after flashing android N. The entire secret to getting everything working properly is injecting this modified boot.img directly after the install while still inside of twrp.

These steps only need to be followed after making a complete backup of your device in twrp first!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

1.Download the OTA update from here https://android.googleapis.com/packages/ota/google_angler_angler/938ecff398f896c21c03615942727493aeae3556.signed-signed-angler-ota-2659757.zip after downloading the update also download this modified boot.im from here http://d-h.st/u0dB

2.Place both on OTG drive.

3.Boot into twrp 3.0.0.0 and then wipe DATA. It will ask you if you really want to do this so you have to type yes.

4. Flash the OTA update zip.

5. Flash the modified boot.img. You can do this by going to install like you would a normal zip file but instead click on the zip description at the top of the screen and click IMG and then select BOOT and then find your modified boot.img and swipe to flash (do not reboot your device before flashing the modified boot.img or you will regret it!)

Hope my steps will help someone. Sure made it easy for me because i didnt have to use fastboot or anything else to flash my phone. ***** I flashed my phone coming from PureNexus Rom without having to go to stock or anything special*****

I made a complete and total backup of my phone which came out to be over 10gb so i could go back with TWRP.
[Nexus 6P General] jesssiii:
You can use twrp to flash the newer twrp image, just select image on the bottom right after selecting install.

Or am I misunderstanding why you need a flashable zip?
[Nexus 6P General] geoff5093:
Yes it does
[Nexus 6P General] cygnus56:
install the preview of Android N and the Google betas program I can close the bootloader and still receive the OTA?
[Nexus 6P General] AspenSTi:
Is anyone elses speakers seem to be more balanced on this build? My top and bottom (left/right) seem noticeably more even. Another perk I guess...
[Nexus 6P General] burduli:
I'm getting "Unfortunately, there are no eligible devices associated with this Google account" error in www.google.com/android/beta :/ Any workarounds?
[Nexus 6P General] ChongoDroid:
Same even when viewing it on my 6p lol.

I'm just downloading the image from the OP
[Nexus 6P General] burduli:
I guess I have to do the same but the bad thing is that I can't receive OTA updates if I'll flash image manually. I'll wait one more day for OTA.
[Nexus 6P General] deskjet390:
Or you could download the ota manually and flash it. Why wouldnt that work?
[Nexus 6P General] jesssiii:
I like the improvements but this preview, as Google says, is not a daily driver. Terrible lag and many apps not working properly.
[Nexus 6P General] StariX37:
Hii..read ur post , i have a question. I m on DU Rom and dont want to use Fastboot to flash can i use Twrp 3.0 to Flash the OTA link u provided .

And can i restore my DU rom..by TWRP if i take an Nandroid Backup using TWRP.

And what backup options do i need to use while backing up my rom , from TWRP ?? Like boot, cache, system, efs etc etc.

And do i need to wipe system , data before flashing the OTA .
[Nexus 6P General] ZacksBuilds:
I tried downloading the OTA and it fails eventually while downloading. Mirror or something maybe?
[Nexus 6P General] Swamphound:
Check your browser permissions or try another browser. That's what I had to do.
[Nexus 6P General] StariX37:
I downloaded it right now using UC Browser and it worked fine.
[Nexus 6P General] rishabh56:
I kind of dirty flashed developer preview image over pure Nexus ROM and now I am having expanded mode

Do I just need to go to faatboot and execute this command fastboot format userdata or do I need to flash all the images again?
[Nexus 6P General] StariX37:
I have a question..not regarding Android N..but regarding Restoring back to Pure Nexus.

Can we restore back to Pure Nexus Rom...using the TWRP backup of pure nexus from Android N ?

Bcoz even i m on Pure Nexus rom and if its not good to use i would like to go back to Pure Nexus Rom..

---------- Post added at 02:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:13 AM ----------

Can i restore my PURE NEXUS Rom from TWRP Backup that i took before flashing Android N preview OTA ?

If Yes what do i need to restore ?

Just Data, Boot, System or

Data, Boot, System, System Image , Vendor, Vendor Image ?
[Nexus 6P General] geoff5093:
If you're going to wipe userdata, might as well just flash all the N images just to be sure.
[Nexus 6P General] swimdude1120:
New colors for included DP3 Google keyboard!
[Nexus 6P General] likonvampire:

Flash preview 3

If u want to go back

Restore beanstalk
[Nexus 6P General] swimdude1120:
I feel you there. I'm already thinking of what image to use for the custom image option!
[Nexus 6P General] Franzie3:
is it finally the more updated google keyboard that came out a week or 2 ago?? with the one handed mode etc etc
[Nexus 6P General] swimdude1120:
Yup, I think with the added options it is probably a newer version then that one

[Nexus 6P General] aj8600:
All the app bugs are tolerable for me but can anyone tell me how the ram management is in DP3? In the second preview my phone would become unusable quickly if I didn't manage my apps constantly
[Nexus 6P General] Franzie3:
Cool thanks for that. Still waiting for my device to boot up. I had to fastboot flash the images in order to not wipe data. Just did, bootloader/radio/boot/cache/vendor/system now im waiting for it to finish booting......taking a while but i know it can take a few minutes
[Nexus 6P General] BakedTator:
Do we have a boot image that DON'T force encryption yet?

If so please share :)
[Nexus 6P General] Taker18:
But if i want to restore i need to reflash twrp right?

Regards,

Taker
[Nexus 6P General] radaloel:
If I have the DevPrev2 installed decrypted and I flash the new one wiping data will it be encrypted again? I mean, should I wait for the decrypted boot img?
[Nexus 6P General] :
No

If you flash it with fastboot and you flash the userdata partition it will encrypt but if you just do the ota or extract zip and flash system.img in twrp you'll stay decrypted.
[Nexus 6P General] Taker18:
Si if i update to Preview 3 twrp is still there right?

And flash via OTA right?

Regards,

Taker
[Nexus 6P General] :
Do not let the OTA flash itself you must find the file and flash it manually in twrp, it will work then. But don't use system update or bad things will happen.
[Nexus 6P General] likonvampire:
I guess night mode is gone too from system ui tuner
[Nexus 6P General] Taker18:
Does anybody have the link so i can flash it manuelly?

[Nexus 6P General] aSquard:
I would just wait for a modified boot.img to be on the safe side if you're unencrypted now... my phone bootlooped until one was posted when DP2 dropped, maybe I didn't do something right though

(just fastbooted, vendor/system)
[Nexus 6P General] Michael in ATL:
That really sucks. I kept it on dark theme all the time for Previews 1 & 2. Hopefully it'll get added back until themes can be released separately.
[Nexus 6P General] Dr. Krieger:
Any mirror for the factory image?

Developer preview platform is damn slow.

Also, coming from custom marshmallow rom (pure nexus), I need to flash via fastboot or flashing system.img through twrp would be enough?
[Nexus 6P General] Franzie3:
yea guys i'd wait for a unencrypted boot. I tried to just flash system as well as cache and vendor and it wouldnt boot at all. I was forced to flash the boot.img and it forced me to encrypt wiping my entire device (sdcard as well). Luckily I have a recent backup of all my SDcard from like 2 weeks ago so im just copying it over.

the problem was is that i was decrypted, rooted, and using TWRP. The only thing i really cared for was TWRP and root to get some of my root apps working. I'll just have to do it over again. No biggie.
[Nexus 6P General] :
How do I get twrp to work on the latest beta?
[Nexus 6P General] YudmudTR:
Same here, but unlikely I didn't have a backup and lost all my pictures and videos. Not all of them are important, but I'm so sad about some of them :/
[Nexus 6P General] Franzie3:
Gotta wait for an unencrypted boot.img. be patient. Give it 12/24 hours
[Nexus 6P General] matesc:
But it's still there - as a quick tile. Reset the quick tiles, if not. Then add it, done. Long press on tile brings you to the corresponding setting, which seems to be somehow hidden in the SystemUI tuner. Seems like a bug to me. So night mode is still here, but dark mode for launcher etc is gone. Better than everything gone [emoji6]
[Nexus 6P General] MaKTaiL:
They said on Google I/O that Android N would be getting seemless updates yet after upgrading from Dev 2 to Dev 3 I'm still seeing the boring "Android is updating xx/100 apps". What gives?
[Nexus 6P General] jaythenut:
really ? not seen that from day one on n lol
[Nexus 6P General] matesc:
DP3 seems much more solid to me than DP2. Launcher, settings, even apps much more responsive.

Recent apps show only the last ones?doesn't seem to me, but at the keynote they mentioned it.

Will miss the chrome tabs as recent apps feature, though. Now it's like before. At least you can close all open chrome tabs at once from the menu (three dots).

Oh and just realised- very convenient feature - you can highlight text and have advanced options for either assistant/TTS/translate. Assistant is bit slow when having highlighted text. Now on tap does the same, basically.

I didn't last a full week on DP2 before I went back to M. Will give DP3 a shot and see how it performs after day or two.

<SarcasmON\> Now the most important question to all: has anybody got root working? I love my NP6 but I personally need to root to raise the headphone gain for music. Most important, as stated <SarcasmOFF\>

Peace[emoji481]
[Nexus 6P General] nericollin:
Someone in the decrypted boot.img thread for the other preview releases claims to have gotten root to stay by flashing the Preview 3 OTA zip and SuperSu 2.72
[Nexus 6P General] jaythenut:
his uploading the boot soon
[Nexus 6P General] nadiros:
It's been this way for awhile.

There is no need for a non force encrypt kernel. Just flash the latest SuperSU before you boot.

Enjoy, and Thank Chainfire.... cuz he's frikking awesome :cowboy:

*Edit. Unless of course you don't want to root, then, sucks to be you :p

**Edit. Maybe for those who don't want to root. Could still flash SuperSU, enjoy the benefits of non encryption, then use the unroot option in the SuperSU app?
[Nexus 6P General] Taker18:
Ok so if i flash the preview.zip of the new beta in twrp

Befor i flash the preview.zip i need to flash last supersu.zip?

[Nexus 6P General] Lare2:

[Nexus 6P General] nadiros:

[Nexus 6P General] cocchiararo:
is there no interest in making twrp work with an encrypted partition on N, or is it casue it was not even BETA ?

After you guys have given it a spin, pls report back on performance and memory leaks on the beta >P (was an ultra deal breaker on preview one, got better on 2, step back on 3, at least for me)

[Nexus 6P General] ttminh1997:
I flashed it in fastboot using fastboot flash boot [link to file] and it's working flawlessly

Sidenote: Anyone else experience Poweramp fc-ing? PlayerPro seems to work just fine, but poweramp beta/alpha isn't working.

[Nexus 6P General] casonswag:
how come im stuck at the google sysmbol when i try to boot up ? i flashed the system and this boot and wiped but its staying at the google logo im also unencrypted too

oops i forgot to flash vendor lol
[Nexus 6P General] treIII:
What needs mounted? And where?

I am encrypted
[Nexus 6P General] :
Go to the mount menu in twrp and see if one says sdcard or userdata or data
[Nexus 6P General] sn0warmy:
I ran into the same issue on the first try. Second try booted right up with no problem. Go round 2 and see if it boots for you.

[Nexus 6P General] Juzman:
Does anybody have a link to *just* the bootloader + radio from NPD35K they could share? I'm happy on PureNexus, and don't want to download the whole thing just for the new radio.

Edit: Nevermind, just downloaded complete tgz and extracted.
[Nexus 6P General] cruckus:
I'm gonna retry decrypting the boot image again but I must be doing something wrong. I had it until I didn't root so once it rebooted it encrypted itself again. I erased everything but I think if you don't root it once you restart it you have to do the whole process again. Annoying but it is what it is. I have enough booze to mess it with all night haha
[Nexus 6P General] casonswag:
Everything's running good so far fast n smooth seem like it's getting better just some features has disappeared in this version hope they come back

Guys I screwed up earlier but got fixed .Now I'm on beta 3 with modify boot but no matter what I do twrp will not open .It just stays on the twrp splash screen..Tried the last 2 versions ..Any clue ,never had this happen
[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?
[Nexus 6P General] jawonder:
Try the MultiRom version TWRP then after boot you can flash back to the regular version .
[Nexus 6P General] eman3316@optonline.net:
Installed Beta 1 through OTA then used CF-Auto-Root. Adaway is not working and failing to install the files. Worked fine on MM rooting the same exact way and not doing anything special.
[Nexus 6P General] simorangkir_dcs:
Can you share your flashing steps?

I'm on pure nexus now, with twrp 3.0.0.2 decrypted.

I am a bit worried to flash n preview 3 cause it's still early and I read some ppl have issue they can't boot into twrp for some reason.

Thanks in advance
[Nexus 6P General] nadiros:
Use the adaway systemless zip from its thread.

And if you guys are encrypted, use flashfire, or fastboot, cuz TWRP is gonna give you a bad time. Flashing a non force encrypting boot.img doesn't decrypt your device. You gotta format user data to get rid of the jibberish. FYI - flashing SuperSU removes the force encrypt flag as well
[Nexus 6P General] sn0warmy:
1) Flash the factory image

2) boot up and setup the phone

3) boot into bootloader and fast boot flash the latest TWRP

4) boot into recovery

5) plug phone into computer and move ElementalX and SuperSU to SD Card

6) Reboot TWRP

7) Flash SuperSU

8) Flash ElementalX

9) Reboot phone

I had no issues following this procedure.
[Nexus 6P General] eman3316@optonline.net:
Can I install that from stock recovery?

I also noticed my lockscreen wallpaper doesn't change with my home screen wallpaper. Is there a separate setting for this now?

I like the new option of setting the screen size in addition to the text size. Makes everything on the screen smaller including the top and bottom bars.

Also seems like the screen colors are better and the extreme oversaturation isn't as bad now if you don't want to use sRGB mode.
[Nexus 6P General] mochamoo:
I am on the latest May marshmallow update. I am thinking about installing this new beta but not sure yet. My 6p is encrypted and rooted (systemless) and twrp is installed. It is stock other than that. Can I just use flashfire to install it and still keep data and root? Should I be able to uncheck data, boot.img? What about the new radio and bootloader? TIA.

:( My Nexus boots into Safe mode whenever I try to root it. Then I reflash the decrypted boot img and I can boot fine again.

Anyone know what causes this?
[Nexus 6P General] cruckus:
You can use twrp 3.0.2.0 but you need to flash the beta then boot up turn on USB debugging and flash the decrypted IMG then out SuperSU on your phone then twrp. Works fine for me. I was trying to flags twrp right after decrypting and it didn't like that

Hi all,

I'm currently on Pure Nexus with Elemental 1.17 and the latest TWRP 3.0.2 installed. My settings say I'm encrypted (see attached), I have done a nandroid backup of my current setup and downloaded the new N OTA zip containing the new images (see attached), Elemental 3.01, and Supersu 2.72.

I have no access to a PC at the moment as mine is broken. Can I flash the N preview using TWRP only without wiping my phone completely? And if I need to restore, will I be able to get back into TWRP to restore my Pure Nexus nandroid?

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.
[Nexus 6P General] iaio72:

[Nexus 6P General] Arzee08:

That's one way but there are plenty ways to do what your asking as stated in the following posts to the one I have pointed you too
[Nexus 6P General] tluley51:
Stock as can be here, took the OTA, stuck in a bootloop. Not sure what to do here...has looped like 10 times now.

[Nexus 6P General] Edgio60:
Thanks. After reading other posts, I was under the impression that flashing the modified boot.img would wipe all my data including internal storage though?

No the modded boot.img stops the force encryption, userdata.img will wipe your data
