I just flashed the vendor and system in twrp and all is well
[Nexus 6P General] aj8600:
Did you flash from the Ota or the full img from Google

Edit: disregard I got it
[Nexus 6P General] LPirro:
Guys, i got the new OTA (NPC56W) and i found two strange things:

1) If i go into settings - Device Info, the build number still is NPC56P (and not the new NPC56W)

2) When I recived the OTA, i pressed Download. And then i pressed Install and reboot. But the phone completed the installation without rebooting the phone.

You too?

Here is the photo

[Nexus 6P General] Milly7:
Try running the update again. It didn't complete if it didn't boot to recovery to install it.
[Nexus 6P General] LPirro:
How i can run the update again? If i go into settings updates says that i'm system is updated...
[Nexus 6P General] BakedTator:
I didn't use the OTA
[Nexus 6P General] :
No dice! And another Messenger beta came out today, still nothing. I also upgraded to NPC56W and still nothing :rolleyes:

Oh well, it's not dire

Anybody found a changelog for NPC56P->NPC56W?

---------- Post added at 08:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 PM ----------

Wow! The second N build is smooth, nearly all lag is gone (especially the keyboard lag).

If anyone's wondering, I installed it the good old fashioned way:

Download the factory image from here

Unzip the .tgz and the .zip within there

The bootloader and radio are the same as the last build, so skip

fastboot flash boot

fastboot flash vendor

fastboot flash system

Booted into TWRP 3.0.0-0

adb sideload SuperSU 2.70

Reboot System

Profit
[Nexus 6P General] bouchigo:
You can use this boot.img I removed encryption from. I just used it myself. Extract it from the zip.

DM verity checks removed too.

[Nexus 6P General] ChongoDroid:
Also formatting data before first boot will allow you to flash 2.70 before it encrypts. Just in case you want to use stock everything.
[Nexus 6P General] sn0warmy:
Thanks! I figured someone would take care of that quickly. I actually decided to allow the phone to encrypt to see how the performance is with encryption on. If it doesn't slow the phone down at all, I'll probably just keep it enabled. (So far I've seen absolutely no signs of slowdown)

With Android N, the days of rooting are behind me. The only reason I bothered rooting at all was to adjust RGB values. Now that it's baked into System UI adjustments, I'll probably start leaving my phone completely stock, as long as I don't see encryption slowing things down.
[Nexus 6P General] tuxStyle:
I tried to flash npc56w full image over npc56p using flashfire and it got stuck at the end.

I noticed:

Any ideas?
[Nexus 6P General] jaythenut:
Going to try that now thanks for the info
[Nexus 6P General] thagringo:
has anyone actually captured the OTA NPC56W package ?

asking because i want to flash it manually myself and not having to flash the hole thing again.

i suppose the OTA update wont work if you have twrp installed ?

TIA !
[Nexus 6P General] pdgpereira:
Just a couple pages back there is a link for the OTA file ?
[Nexus 6P General] thagringo:
thanks, searched but didnt find it.

got it now.

[Nexus 6P General] jaythenut:
I can confirm this works

update to w still got twrp and root?

What I done was download from here http://rootjunkysdl.com/?device=Nexus 6P Angler&folder=Android N Preview extract it on phone then flashed system.img and vender.img with twrp then flashed supersu and all done ﻿
[Nexus 6P General] dratsablive:
I use Fedora linux and found that the script file had the same error about the system image. I found that I had to unzip the zip file included in the system image and flash all files separately .
[Nexus 6P General] aSquard:
For those that received the OTA ( not flzshed manually) does your build show 56P or 56W?

I reveived the notification to update yesterday but my battery was low, so I was charging it but never paid attention to my phone to see if it updated on its own. This morning my phone days it's up to date but the build still shows 56P and not 56W. Clicking 'Check for system update' doesn't prompt to update again
[Nexus 6P General] cocchiararo:
I read the ota did not change that for many/all

Enviado desde mi Nexus 6P mediante Tapatalk
[Nexus 6P General] jaythenut:
I got 56w
[Nexus 6P General] pdgpereira:
Just got to update mine as well. It reads P. I do feel that swiftkey is working way better and the settings menu now flies. On the 1st preview the keyboard took a while to get degraded performance, but te settings were always jerky.

Will install the update manually anyway.
[Nexus 6P General] todorcim:
I tried this to with Ubuntu 15.04 and everything flashed untill I got to system then it kept giving me system to large for destination. I ended up just flashing an odexed stock ROM zip through twrp, signed up to beta and the ota was there in seconds, the rest is history.
[Nexus 6P General] Michael in ATL:
Not sure if you ever got it to show up, but I found a suggestion to change my Google Account Password. I did so (probably a good idea anyway) and my device finally showed up as available. I got the upgrade link to show up on my phone shortly thereafter -lLoaded N with no troubles yesterday, though I still haven't received the "W" OTA Update prompt yet.

Interestingly, this phone still doesn't show up in ADM. Ah, the dilemmas of being a Flashaholic. The first step is admitting I have a problem.
[Nexus 6P General] betovanbuuren:
So for those in the new 56W could you please confirm whether is a bit closer for a daily driver, or still the same app issues like whatsapp?
[Nexus 6P General] rogi19:
The device is much more fluid (no more keyboard lag) and cooler for me, but whatsapp still cant send screenshots and crashes during media restore. That is however an app fault and not a system fault, and if you wait for the media restore to finish, whatsapp works normally, calls are also working nice so its definitely daily driver material for me
[Nexus 6P General] dratsablive:
Was this the command you used to flash the system file?

fastboot -w update image-angler-<version>.zip
[Nexus 6P General] todorcim:
Nope

Normally (even with the 6p before N) the commands in Ubuntu were

./flash-all.sh which would normally just flash the entire package.

That wouldn't work with N it would flash bootloader and radio but then I'd get the zip doesn't have "no system" "no recovery" warning and the process would stop.

So went in unzipped put bootloader & radio in with the rest the flash each on separately.

Fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.IMG

Reboot

Fastboot flash radio radio.IMG

Reboot

Fastboot erase cache

Fastboot flash cache cache.IMG

Fastboot flash recover recovery.IMG

Fastboot flash system system.img

At this point it hangs and comes back with the system to large warning and stops.

For me personally I think this may have to due with Google not supporting 32bit Ubuntu anymore. I'm thinking there's something that's not being updated in terminal when updating fastboot, I haven't tested this with adb but it's a fair assumption.
[Nexus 6P General] sn0warmy:
The 56P build absolutely was not a daily driver for me. However, all the issues I experienced in the 56P build are gone with the 56W build. The OS itself is as smooth as the most recent 6.0.1 update was. I've been using it for almost a full day and haven't experienced a single problem, lag, or stuttering. Granted, all of my apps worked on 56W and also work on 56P. So individual app issues were not a concern for me.
[Nexus 6P General] DarK_DemoN:
Running W with no issues. Just used fastboot to flash system, vendor, and decrypted boot image. All settings, apps, and files stayed. Version showing as W and not P. Running as multirom primary with purenexus secondary.
[Nexus 6P General] nadiros:
So you just flash the corresponding vendor before booting each ROM?
[Nexus 6P General] chispas117:
OK this is where I'm lost at I'm not new to root but for some odd reason I don't know where to find the vendor, system but I know about the decrypted boot image, I just need a step by step , maybe I'm slow idk man
[Nexus 6P General] jaythenut:
Download from here and extract I done it on 6p once done go to twrp hit install then img install system then vendor and your done

http://rootjunkysdl.com/?device=Nexus 6P Angler&folder=Android N Preview
[Nexus 6P General] Nugg14:
So I am currently on the Chroma 19J build. Can I extract and still flash via twrp img flasher and be OK?
[Nexus 6P General] jaythenut:
No

Flash the p build in the link that will wipe you're phone fastboot it then skip setup quickly then put USB debugging back on then fastboot the decryption zip that will wipe the phone again then setup then download w build extract to phone then install system .img and vendor.img then flash supersu and you should be done Lol

Edit after debugging flash twrp fastboot flash recovery twrp.img.img
[Nexus 6P General] sn0warmy:
At the top of this forum there is a dedicated guide, which was created by a forum moderator (Heisenberg) who was nice enough to take their time to create it. The guide gives EXACT step by step instructions for properly flashing factory images, like the one this thread is dedicated to.

I know some are going to inevitably take offense to this, but just like on any other forum, you really need to read and familiarize yourself with the stickies. They exist for a reason. Watching people continue to fill this thread (and most others) with the

same

questions regarding how to flash factory images, is getting obnoxious. Hundreds of posts each day would not exist if people would just take the time to read the stickies.

Here is the guide I'm talking about:

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928

For those continually answering these redundant questions, thanks for contributing and props to you! But I'd recommend that instead of answering each and every redundant question that gets asked, simply link to the above guide moving forward and let those asking the questions take the time to read and familiarize themselves more with the process. It will save space in this thread and will benefit the person with questions to a much greater extent than answering their individual questions.
[Nexus 6P General] todorcim:
Very true, and thanks for this, the only reason I stated what I did is for me with Ubuntu 15.04 and 32bit(Heisenberg's is for 64bit ubuntu)is certain commands are different for each Linux distribution, the commands that work with Ubuntu aren't the same as commands on Mint or Fedora, hell half the time posted commands don't even work.

But I agree if you are in these forums especially as a Nexus user you need to know adb & fastboot, and thank you again for not recommending toolkits as I see so many people do.

[Nexus 6P General] drdrewdown:
Read chainfires posts on G+ regarding mount /system r/w & you'll see what's going on.
[Nexus 6P General] DarK_DemoN:
All I did to boot the new OTA update was swap N to my primary slot, extract the IMG files out of the OTA tar, and fastboot them over (system, boot, and vendor. Not just vendor).

Before this new OTA, someone was kind enough to supply a flashable zip of the P build that I flashed into my secondary slot. There was no need to fastboot that build. Because of this, I've kept everything on my phone (data and apps). Have had no need to do a wipe and lose everything.
[Nexus 6P General] sn0warmy:
I haven't had any force closes at all. But, when I run into any serious issues like that, I always start fresh and make sure to perform the following fastboot commands before reflashing the factory image:

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase userdata

After doing that, reflash the factory images for 56W and your issues will likely be gone.

Going on 2 full days with the 56W build and haven't encountered a single issue. It's as stable as you could ask for in a daily driver. And the battery life is just ridiculous. On the latest 6.0.1, with moderate usage (2 conference calls and about 2 hours of screen on time I'd have around 60% battery remaining at 5PM. With the same usage on 56W I'm still at 80% around 5PM.

A few simple things, just mentioning so that you don't overlook.

1) Make sure your Google Account is logged-in on the device.

2) Manually check for updates, go to Settings > About phone > System Updates

3) You are completely stock, no modified boot.img, root, or TWRP recovery is present.

Hello flasheable via TWRP? flash rom what you mean? I file to image android N? thank you

Boot into recovery (TWRP/CWM)

- Un-mount /system in TWRP/CWM

- Wipe: system, data, dalvik and cache

- Flash bootloader (optional - only needed if new)

- Flash ROM (be patient - takes a while)

- Flash SuperSU (optional)

- Flash radio (optional - only needed if new)

- Reboot (first boot takes a while)
