Preview 3 running great way less bugs than P2 . Just need to get my MultiRoms going now . I have Android pay working, after fastboot install i booted up before flashing SuperSU and activated Android pay then flash SuperSU 2.72.
[Nexus 6P General] eman3316@optonline.net:
The screen color is so much improved in N Beta 1 over 6.0.1. I haven't tried any of the prior developer builds so don't know if they all had improved the terrible over-saturation that was on MM but I can actually live with the screen in default mode and not have to turn on sRGB.

Also, in case others don't know, the lock screen wallpaper and desktop wallpaper are now set separately and you can have 2 different wallpapers. If you are using a 3rd party launcher you cannot change the lock screen wallpaper, you need to open the Google Now Launcher and set your wallpaper there. When you go to set it, it will ask you if you want to set it on your desktop only, lock screen only or both.

Is there a decrypted boot image for the lastest N beta? I want to flash on my phone currently running Pure Nexus and I really don't want to lose data if possible.
[Nexus 6P General] Franzie3:
yea, check a few pages back maybe in the 120's-130's. Also there is a thread in the general section with it.
[Nexus 6P General] duminduweera:
you can restore apps as well.

You have to change the selinux to permissive, and in N to do this we have to stop logd as well, otherwise it will boot in to safeboot.

- Go to terminal emulator and do the following

- su

- stop logd

- setenforce 0

Now, you can use TiBu to restore apps
[Nexus 6P General] likonvampire:
Rename the IMG as recovery.img .

I am not rooted but that's how it has always been for flashing recovery files
[Nexus 6P General] dunstan92:

I flashed the latest beta build from Android N. Could I root it with SuperSU and flashing twrp without problems?

Gesendet von meinem ONE A2003 mit Tapatalk
[Nexus 6P General] Franzie3:
Good to know, isn't there also an app to do that once you're rooted? Couldn't remember. I dont care to much for it, i'll just restore the data. Thansk for the info though

Yes, once you load up the latest beta, flash the unsecure boot.img, flash TWRP, wiper userdata to decrypt and good to go, then reload etc etc. Just save off your SDcard contents if you care.
[Nexus 6P General] BakedTator:
Sounds like your data is encrypted
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
TWRP has issues booting with encrypted N, please decrypt your device storage first. Make sure to backup everything, since decryption requires data wipe.
[Nexus 6P General] jaythenut:
./fastboot flash recovery twrp.Img

And make sure twrp is in cd Desktop/name of your folder
[Nexus 6P General] GSUS969:
So, how do I go about decrypting it? :confused:
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Flash the modified boot.img, and then use the 'fastboot format userdata' command in the bootloader mode.

This will wipe your device completely, including the internal storage, so make sure that you take a backup first.

[Nexus 6P General] Taker18:

[Nexus 6P General] wietse1988:
Can't twrp get updated to work with the latest preview? I don't want to decrypt. Something similar happened with the March marshmallow update, than twrp got an update and it worked fine again.
[Nexus 6P General] Franzie3:
I would flash you modified boot.img and then install TWRP and format user data (just back up your SD card first). Then you can flash SuperSU just fine normally.

I don't think this would be something working until after an official N release. i think if you want TWRP you will need to decrypt. I know its annoying to copy off the sdcard and recopy etc etc, but in the end thats what we get or flashing previews and all.
[Nexus 6P General] Raiden350:
Alright, where can i find the modified boot.img ?

[Nexus 6P General] GSUS969:
fastboot format userdata doesn't work, but i was able to get fastboot erase userdata to work. I assumed that this would clean the slate and allow me to start with decrypted data (or lack of). But, now it only boots to TWRP, which won't actually start. This stalls at the splash screen. Any help would be great, since I now can't get my phone to start. I only have access to the bootloader or TWRP splash screen.
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
As I suggested, fastboot format userdata should work perfectly. The erase command just erased the complete userdata parition, so you will need to flash it again from bootloader mode.

Use the following command:

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

Flash the modified boot, and if you've already done that, use:

fastboot format userdata

This will also solve the decreased storage space issue that you may face after flashing userdata image.

I just did a total clean install of the new factory images for N, and everything is working great. Quick question, if I am on the newest version, do I need to enroll in the beta program to get updates going forward? The reason I ask is because when to go to the google's beta program page, it says sorry, none of your devices are eligible. Which is funny as I am holding my 6p in my hand.

The other two times it just boot loop immediately
[Nexus 6P General] Franzie3:
You probably didn't decrypt. You need to fast boot flash user data. Just backup your SD card. Do it...get booted then restore you sdcard

guys. I downloaded the package. deleted data, boot and the third thing cant remember the name now :) Installed vendor, the new boot.img and system.

The phone wont boot up, only shows tewamwin revocery project. Everytime i boot the phone it comes to this. Did i just brick my nexus 6p?

Again....not decrypted. Gotta follow protocol if you want it to work right. Flashing a factory image isn't like ROM flashing. There aren't backup scripts in place or any of that. You need to actually do most of the work. My suggestion.

Boot up

Back up SD card to computer

Install factory images via fastboot

Boot up

Verify your good

Want root/twrp???

Boot to bootloader

Install modified boot.img via fastboot

Install twrp via fastboot

Format/erase user data

Boot up

Set up phone

Go to twrp and install root zip
[Nexus 6P General] yung40oz84:

[Nexus 6P General] yung40oz84:
What are u talking about? I have been decrypted for moths, running all kinds of stuff without force encryption, even after I flashed DP3, and went back to my MM rom, I'm still decrypted, smh!
[Nexus 6P General] Franzie3:
Not trying to be hostile. But majority of peoples problems are all the same. Like I just mentioned a few posts ago. This ain't like ROM flashing. You need to basically flash back to stock using the dp3 then go from there. To me that's the safest way.

All I'm saying is I'm up and running clean with dp3, root, and twrp and I'm just trying to help you the way I know how.

I made a list of suggestion just a post or two ago,i suggest you follow that.

I see someone up there looks like they are downloading the OTA straight onto their phone....EVERYONE HAS TO HAVE A USB OTG DRIVE because in order to flash the OTA in twrp you have to wipe everything completely.

And also to restore your TWRP back up you need to have the latest marshmallow images from google to restore your bootloader and some other partitions. Im not sure what all partitions they are so i just restore the whole thing. You can probally just get away with restoring your bootloader.

I know twrp backs up a lot of stuff like vendor images and things of that nature and they will restore just fine....but they will not boot until you flash your old Marshmallow bootloader.

Surely something wrong that you did. Flash the factory image, don't boot yet. Now, flash the modified boot, and fastboot reboot.
[Nexus 6P General] ChongoDroid:
Tried to find something on this but can't find anything.

After enabling this it resets your phone and the only thing that changes is that secure start-up is greyed out and the original option in developer options is greyed out.

I remember on marshmallow there used to be an option where when you setup Nexus imprint it asks you if you want to require pin on boot and if you said no it would still require pin on boot.

Doesn't seem to be a way to go back either, reflashing now.
