Anyone stuck on the twrp splash screen when trying to boot to recovery? I'm not sure how to fix this
[Nexus 6P General] Vaaski:
I had that too. Because of the missing root & xposed I ended up downgrading to stock tho.
[Nexus 6P General] jesssiii:

[Nexus 6P General] Chris Hansen:
That's due to TWRP 3.0.0-1. It hangs on the splash screen. If you flash 3.0.0-0, you'll get past that. Hit 'Cancel' on the decrypt data screen, and you'll get into recovery.

This worked for me as well after formatting data in 3.0.0-0 (I suppose you could do so from fastboot). My steps for reference:

-fastboot flash recovery twrp3.0.0-0.img

-Boot recovery, choose 'Cancel' on decrypt screen

-Format data

-Reboot bootloader

-fastboot flash recovery twrp3.0.0-1.img

-fastboot flash boot (modified)boot.img (just for good measure)

-Reboot recovery

In your opinion, is the N preview okay for daily use ?
[Nexus 6P General] AzraelsKiss:
N Preview has been my DD since it was released, but YMMV...

[Nexus 6P General] Raiden350:
Ok i'm currently using it and it's very good (not as smooth as Marshmallow yet but very nice) but is it possible to edit build.prop (reduce dpi) ? And one more question, what SOT do you have ?

[Nexus 6P General] rant:
I was eventually able to edit build.prop to adjust DPI and add tethering bypass, after upgrading to SuperSU 2.70 and using Root Browser. Neither ES File Explorer nor Solid Explorer would allow me to save build.prop back to /system
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Daily use, not so much. But if you can tolerate a few glitches here and there, you can use it.
[Nexus 6P General] BakedTator:
Personally, I use android N for my daily driver... Kylo kernel, full root and a beta version of layers... I off course have done bugs but it nothing I can't get around one way or another

[Nexus 6P General] elreydenj:
FX file explorer works well to mount system R/W as well.
[Nexus 6P General] rant:
TWRP works fine here on my 6P with N. You need a boot image that doesn't force encryption. Then:

fastboot flash recovery "twrp 3.0.0-1".img

fastboot format userdata

fastboot reboot recovery
[Nexus 6P General] Michael in ATL:
There are guides in this thread already. You'll need to flash the unencrypted boot image you can find here, plus need to wipe data via flashboot too. droidorigin.com is the site of a Recognized Contributor here at XDA, and has great guides.
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
1) Download the corresponding modified boot image and flash it using "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

Link: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/stock-modified-boot-img-regular-root-t3306684

2) The above process will disable forced Encryption on your device. So now, finally to decrypt, use the following commands:

fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache

Just wanted to throw my $0.02 in. Been on preview 5 since day of release, have only had a single random reboot since then, which I believe may have been caused by f.lux. have swapped over to lux and no problems since. I'm rooted, unencrypted, running cttmod, AdBlock, kernel auditor, etc. Everything works perfectly. I noticed when I tried Kylo kernel and elemental x on earlier N previews, phone would random lock up and reboot about twice a day. Using stock kernel, no issues. I'm sure once we get kernel source, these kinds of problems will vanish.
[Nexus 6P General] dbrohrer:
We have kernel source. Dropped around 8/2/16. I am on DP5 with [MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION] Ninja Kernel with no lockups or freezes. EX's new kernel also works without lockups.

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/development/kernel-ninja-kernel-v1-0-t3437247

I believe that the lockups were something google fixed on the rom side. Even DP4 source kernels run well on DP5 (although no reason to do that now with new source).

I don't know if this question was asked before in this thread, (it's hard to search for it) but if I flash this preview along with stock recovery and everything, would I be able to update to Nougat once it's available?
[Nexus 6P General] xxBrun0xx:
Been on the latest Elemental X since your suggestion here and have not had so much as a single stutter. Phone has been fast and smooth and bug-free. Thank you!!

Does flashing the flashable img file in twrp cause any problem with TWRP?
[Nexus 6P General] mickyw1980:
No
[Nexus 6P General] asianrage:
I meant it in reference to being able to take the OTA...
[Nexus 6P General] mickyw1980:
My bad, sorry, in that case I'm not sure.
[Nexus 6P General] SlimSnoopOS:
Having TWRP or even a modified system will cause an OTA to fail. Flashing the boot, system, recovery, and vendor IMGs will successfully allow you to take future OTAs.

Flashing just the boot.img will remove root and will result in the loss of TWRP once you boot into the rom.

If you were coming from DP4 and dirtyflashed DP5 with "Screen tinting" shortcut in quick settings, then it stayed also on DP5.

[Nexus 6P General] iosonofrancesco:
yes, i know the "trick" of the dp5 but i don't want to format user data.
[Nexus 6P General] Michael in ATL:
Perhaps TWRP folks are working on a version that can deal with encryption (if that's even doable), but until then, we're either able to use encryption or TWRP, not both. The only way to regain TWRP will be to flashboot a yet-to-be-released unencrypted boot.img and then format user data.

[Nexus 6P General] kenshiroSG24:
Your phone is rooted so no you can't since the system has been altered and regardless of TWRP the update will fail. If you want otas and don't need root, back up your apps and data using apps that don't require root. Back up your whole internal SD and copy to your PC. Then lock your bootloader which will reset and wipe everything off the phone. Load it up after and install otas and restore your apps. I did that and never have issues with the phone.
[Nexus 6P General] Ballymakaveli:
Thanks buddy
[Nexus 6P General] wizardwiz:
Sure you can update without TWRP. You can simply sideload the OTA

Thank you for the link! I just folowwed your steps 1, 4, and 5 and I'm running N with Multirom (latest version) as a secondary, and PureNexus as a primary with the Kexec kernel.

I kind of combined steps 4 and 5 into a single step by using WinRAR to replace the boot.img in the OTA, with the modified one so TWRP would flash it automatically for me. Working great so far! (been almost 2 weeks now)

Thanks again!

Yeah I remember those days as well. No such issue with N though.
[Nexus 6P General] force70:
Im another who was able to update to N by flashing the OTA zip in twrp 3.0.0.1, read a couple others did so gave it a shot and it works perfect.

I was and stayed unencrypted, did the usual wipes in twrp (system,data,cache,dalvik) flashed the ota zip provided in this thread, flashed the modded boot .img provided in this thread and rebooted into android. boom done.

just like flashing any other rom.

going to test root and xposed once im set up and backed up.

big thanks to the guys who had the stones to try this first, flashing an OTA in twrp...never thought it was possible.

edit: SU 2.70 seems to work fine, flashed the zip in twrp

Also, custom nicknames, colors, and emojis are set but don't show up in the conversations. I'm on the latest Facebook Messenger beta (in the beta testers program), any ideas?
[Nexus 6P General] steviemch:
It's best not to post the same question in multiple threads. As it's an alpha developer preview, this is basically what you need to expect. Most apps will need to be updated to run on N.

So, a beta program is not working on a preview OS? :)

2 Options:

1) Try doing a clean install of N preview and/or even a Factory data reset, from Backup & reset menu. Google backup will restore your apps but make sure you backup your stuff. I had some issues with regular Facebook not even opening and was able to solve it;

2) Role back to 6.0.1 and avoid beta programs. Should solve those bugs.

[Nexus 6P General] sn0warmy:
Funny, I just flashed the NPC56P a couple of hours ago. I'm going to flash the NPC56W factory image now and will report back.

I'm glad to hear the phone feels snappier and the lag is gone. Those were the only two issues I had with the NPC56P factory image (keyboard lag, quick settings drop down lag, and stuttering in the settings app). All of my apps worked no problem, the phone just got laggy for after some rather minimal usage.

EDIT 1: I flashed the NPC56W factory images but used the modified boot.img for the NPC56P in order to stay decrypted. However, the phone does not appear to be booting (stuck at the android boot screen for about 15 minutes.). I'm going to go through the process again with the boot.img from the NPC56W factory image to see if that resolves it. The downside is I will be encrypted afterwards.

EDIT 2: Got it to boot just fine with the NPC56W boot.img image. Initial impressions are that the keyboard lag, stuttering within the settings app are gone and the lag I was experiencing in the quick settings drop down is gone.

I used OTA a week ago and today for the minor update.

Pure stock Android N without root or custom recovery.
[Nexus 6P General] cocchiararo:
When you had KB lag on the P release, the whole phone was slow also.

I had to constantly close apps to keep performance not ultra bad.

Is it anywhere near the latest 6.0.1 performance now?

Enviado desde mi Nexus 6P mediante Tapatalk
[Nexus 6P General] sn0warmy:
Yes, on the P release the whole phone would slow to a crawl.

However, with the W release I can say that I had absolutely 0 lag or any issues during my initial setup, downloading, installing and setting up all my apps, and then making all my little tweaks within settings (including display color calibration). The phone hasn't skipped a single beat for me. If this performance continues It is just as good as the latest 6.0.1 was.

I'm testing charging speed now. I had 41% battery remaining before just plugging it in. I'll check it again in 15 minutes and see where it's at. It still doesn't say "Fast Charging" with the OEM charger/cable though.

EDIT: It went from 41% remaining to 70% remaining in just under 15 minutes and says "20 Minutes Until Full". I'd say it still charges pretty d*** fast.
