Hi [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]

The experience on the N DP2 is much more smooth and responsive while using EX 3.01. Just out of curiousity, are you working on an update for the same?
[Nexus 6P General] DAE1964:
I did a clean install and all is good. I had a sound mod I think was causing the trouble.
[Nexus 6P General] flowserver:
Preview 2 can already use it like my daily ROM? Or has yet a lot of bugs?
[Nexus 6P General] ImARaptor:
Have you used the previous version? Its way more stable than the last release, but it still feels unfinished. For example, the camera is known to lag and is generally slow and not consistent. However, I am able to use it as my daily driver, and I just deal with the occasional reboot or hang. So, it really all depends on how stable you expect it to be.
[Nexus 6P General] Michael in ATL:
I'm using it as my daily driver, and am willing to put up with lag issues, though they are annoying. I use ES Task Mgr every time memory maxed out causes the lag.

I find P2 better than P1 overall. I'm rooted with tons of apps so I bring some of these issues on myself. YMMV.
[Nexus 6P General] captainphoenixx:
Anyone else on P2 and the new emojis aren't working? Stock everything, but my emojis are the same as before.
[Nexus 6P General] jaythenut:
Flash this zip and you will have them http://www.mediafire.com/download/00a65y2u8sbwt93/Android-N-Emoji-GadgetHacks.zip
[Nexus 6P General] noooooo:
I'm encrypted and on the 2nd beta, which recovery i can use to sideload adaway and ex kernel?
[Nexus 6P General] dephsone:
You need to be decrypted, so:

Download the decrypted boot.img

Fastboot the boot.img

Format userdata using fastboot

Flash TWRP 3.0.0-0

Flash anything you want using TWRP[emoji6]
[Nexus 6P General] noooooo:
Well, my idea was not to format my internal memory, that's why i asked if sideloading through twrp was an option. I've read somewhere that was possible, but cannot figure where i read it
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Sideloading wouldn't work, since the file when sideloaded, needs to write to the /userdata partition. Which in this case is not possible. You can try flashing the files from USB OTG.
[Nexus 6P General] fodi97:
Guys please help!

Can someone please capture the OTA ZIP LINK that is needed to ROLL BACK TO MARSHMALLOW from dev preview 2?

I'm in a kinda ****ed up situation where I can't sign in, so I can't unenroll my device.

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 6P General] noooooo:
Well so i was wrong. anyway, if someone has my same problem a solution is using flashfire, by chainfire, wich wors just great
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Why not just flash the factory image? The OTA is anyways going to wipe the complete storage.
[Nexus 6P General] fodi97:
I bought the device 1 month old, slightly used from a seller, but Google Device Protection turned on, and now it doesn't let me to log in on dev preview 2, so I would like to downgrade to marshmallow, and then upgrade to dev preview 1, where due to a security flaw, I would be able to log in to my google account, so please I kindly ask everybody in this forum to capture that OTA for me!

This is my only chance, otherwise I'd have to wait a moth to repair under warranty.

Thanks everyone!

Just please capture the link and then click "enroll" again, you don't actually have to downgrade your 6p.

Thank you very-very much! :)

---------- Post added at 08:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 AM ----------

Sorry but this isn't the zip TO DOWNGRADE, but the link to DEV Preview 1!

Could you please get the link to downgrade or roll back to Marshmallow? Thanks!
[Nexus 6P General] jaythenut:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#ryu :good:
[Nexus 6P General] fodi97:
The bootloader is locked, I can't flash the images, i can only sideload in stock recovery
[Nexus 6P General] jaythenut:
You need the bootloader unlocked far as I know then unzip on PC and flash-all you should be good to go
[Nexus 6P General] fodi97:
Man, I would have done it, but as I've said, I can't log in because of factory reset protection, so I can't enable OEM unlocking from dev options, so I can't unlock, can't flash at all. All I can do is sideload from stock recovery, this is why I would need that Ota zip
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Have you tried sideloading the DP1 OTA?
[Nexus 6P General] fodi97:
Yes I have, but it gives an error, so I have to downgrade to Marshmallow and then upgrade to dp1
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Okay, give me time. I will manually flash DP1, and then un-enroll. See if I can obtain the OTA link.
[Nexus 6P General] fodi97:
Thank you!!

You can flash dev preview 2, and then unenroll, because im running dp2 now. Don't know if the roll-back ota is the same
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
will do that. :good:
[Nexus 6P General] fodi97:
Thank you very much! I'll return your favor!
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Here: https://android.googleapis.com/pack...0.signed-signed-angler-MHC19I-from-NPC91K.zip

Try and see if it works. And no need to return any favours, just get it done for yourself. It will be fine by me. :highfive:
[Nexus 6P General] wardy01:
Hi all,

Question, I have just oem unlocked-flashed mod boot img- eraseddata-flashed twrp-ran cf auto root. - root now working fine and 2 things,

how can I remove the warning may be corrupt screen?

Can I flash an mm or cm13 rom etc or will it affect the preview 2 rom I have flashed initially.?

Thank you in advance.
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
1. The warning screen is normal. You can ignore it.

2. If you want to flash an MM ROM, you can do it from TWRP, as your normally would flash a custom ROM. But make sure to also flash the Marshmallow vendor image, along with the ROM.
[Nexus 6P General] wardy01:
Brill, thank you.

Ok, so, I flash the rom and gapps as normal through twrp as I would older nexus phones...

I would then move to boatloader and fastboot flash vender.img from the dedicated rom I have chosen?

Do I need to do this on ever mm rom as I go through 3-4 before I settle on one...
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
No need to touch the bootloader. It could stay as it is.

As for vendor, you wouldn't need to flash it every time. Supposedly you flash a ROM based on MHC19Q, you need to flash the corresponding vendor. And If flashing a ROM based on MMB29V, then the vendor for it needs to be flashed.
[Nexus 6P General] DAE1964:
I can't get the driver for viper audio to install. Busybox installed and permissive mode is set.
[Nexus 6P General] :
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=54255

Flash Mod_JTN.zip, installs Viper, blocks ads and improves stability on N.
[Nexus 6P General] DAE1964:
Tried that and driver still not installing. TB restores apps and data adaway works.
[Nexus 6P General] kenbrownstone:
Is that a twrp flashable radio zip also? Thanks for post in viper zip too...
[Nexus 6P General] :
Yes, flashable bootloader and radio.

If i'm using a Mac and want to do the sideload method do i extract the image.zip from the .gtz file and sideload it ?. When i extract the .gtz i see an image.zip file.
[Nexus 6P General] sam razzy:
If I want to her this has my secondary rom then do you think I can flash the image on twrp? And any procedure
[Nexus 6P General] thomas30:
Is there a Zip with the Newest n Rom to flash somewhere. Sorry if IT has been asked .think its confusing with fastboot.
[Nexus 6P General] DirtyDroidX:
I'm uploading a flashable zip (TWRP) right now. It includes -boot, vendor and system. If you are on a MM build and want to test it that would be cool. Just make a nandroid incase something goes wrong. This is the STOCK ROM, no root. If it boots properly I will add root,busybox and a modified boot.img. I will post a link shortly.
[Nexus 6P General] Michael in ATL:
Did you ever start your own thread dude, or perhaps school overwhelmed you? Grateful for what you've done so far, and looking forward to your ongoing efforts if you're so inspired.
[Nexus 6P General] thomas30:
Thanks Flash IT when its Up,and report back after
[Nexus 6P General] jaythenut:
Just download m from Google and flash
[Nexus 6P General] kenbrownstone:
Or use wugs to take you back..That's what I do
[Nexus 6P General] jaythenut:
So fast boot this then fastboot twrp is that right
[Nexus 6P General] mrhizzo:
What is wugs?
[Nexus 6P General] kenbrownstone:
It's a tool kit in the 6p android development thread
[Nexus 6P General] bouchigo:
Fastboot this, fastboot twrp, and format data in bootloader too since you are already encrypted...that will be the only way to un-encrypt and stay un-encrypted.

You can have root now too since supposedly there is a root method out now. The only draw back it that it works in permissive mode leaving you in a more vulnerable/less secure state.
[Nexus 6P General] kenbrownstone:
I did all this but on a second reboot I was locked out of twrp again..No clue why
[Nexus 6P General] bouchigo:
You did: fastboot format userdata?

It will wipe all your data, so make sure you back things up that need to be backed up.
[Nexus 6P General] kenbrownstone:
Yep...gonna try again...It did work....I was using twrp ..But went back to do a backup and dam if it wanted password

[Nexus 6P General] smalltownbird:
I was on the latest factory image and rooted with TWRP and joined the beta program. It immediately gave me the update message and I downloaded it. Everything flashed fine in TWRP automatically. I'm now on N and it was easy. No root though.
[Nexus 6P General] htr5:
Got it working, thanks anyway.

I followed a guide I found on another website. I had to modify a few files in the download though and use a custom bootloader. It bootloops 50% of the time but I'm working on it
[Nexus 6P General] todorcim:
Oh ya I know this, and Ubuntu is normally my go to for flashing stock, and I've flash stock multiple times with it, but for some reason now it not find boot,recovery or system and just stopping after bootloader and radio are flashed. Even tried flashing everything separately and got to system it says system is too large won't install.
[Nexus 6P General] :
School is just too much to be able to support both devices. I'm sticking to N6 for now, but maybe someone with a N6P that knows how to do this stuff could support the project.

Note: I'm not trying to step on anyone's toes. I was helping another guy out and I through this together. I usually test everything myself but I'm working like a dog and honestly don't have time to be flashing things. As stated before this is stock! Flash in TWRP. A full wipe is recommended and don't flash anything until after the first boot or it will fubar the partition scheme.

Also, I have all .img files converted to files and will be uploading all files to my github. If anyone needs a clean slate to pull from.

---------- Post added at 07:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:27 AM ----------

Just a question. You using updater script to extract or a bin?
[Nexus 6P General] :
Updater script. Easiest foolproof method.

They've been tested and confirmed.
[Nexus 6P General] DirtyDroidX:
Just curious. I prefer updater myself unless it has specific binary file dependencies, more often used with kernel install and other specific images. Do you have a git?
[Nexus 6P General] :
Nope. I know what I'm doing but Git seems pointless to me. I have hangouts if you'd like to talk tho.
[Nexus 6P General] DirtyDroidX:
Yeah,PM me when you get a chance. I like using git just cause that's how I was taught and worked with others years ago. For Open Source stuff it's great, again working with others -it's a time saver with changes and pushing and pulling work. Actually, just hit me up on Hangouts, davidkrznar27 at Google. I didn't want to put the actual email because of search results lol. Hit me up when you can.

Hello guys

I would like to flash the preview 2 factory image on my Nexus 6P and root + flash elemental x kernel.

I have read many posts but its very heavy for me with decrypt and encrypt, flash this and this ?

This is my first nexus with encryption.

What must i make after i flash the factory image?

Best regards
[Nexus 6P General] bouchigo:
I'm assuming you made changes/mods to your /system partition, and then did a system dump. After that you tried to symlink and set permissions, etc, and it didn't work out?

If you want to avoid symlinking and setting all proper permissions, you can simply make a system image of your setup and flash the image. This way you will not have to symlink and set any permissions as it is already properly set in the image.

All you would have to do is something like this in the updater-script to flash the image:

command to mount the system

delete_recursive("/system");

package_extract_file("system.img", "/dev/block/platform/soc.0/f9824900.sdhci/by-name/system");

command to unmount the system
[Nexus 6P General] DirtyDroidX:
Actually, I just took the stock system.img and converted it to a ext4 file, then created a loop on my computer. I made a script, when making changes to AOSP roms, a long time ago, to reflect changes in the script. I realized Ive been overcomplicating things -derp.

You are 100% correct though. That's just what I did. I've been busy on a job and will post when I get a chance. Thanks for the heads up.
[Nexus 6P General] Kushdawg:
Incorrect Storage Space

Hi guys I just flash the 2nd Preview image over with modified boot img and twrp rooted with supersu beta and my storage only says 24.1 GB but I have the 128GB model. Anyone know a way to fix this? Thanks!
[Nexus 6P General] force70:
Factory reset in twrp usually fixes that..you flashed userdata.img....dont do that .

Btw this has been covered many times and search button works great for next time :D

Sent from my Note 5 or Nexus 6P
[Nexus 6P General] Kushdawg:
Thanks. I did try that but ifactory reset didnt work then I formated the device amd that fixed it.
[Nexus 6P General] :
you could also use format

I agree with above. system.img is much easier.

package_extract_file("system", "/dev/block/blabla6pdir/by-name/system");

or block_img_update
[Nexus 6P General] force70:
Yup, that's the next thing to try after the factory reset.glad you got it sorted out, no fun seeing a missing 100 odd GB.

Sent from my Note 5 or Nexus 6P
[Nexus 6P General] bouchigo:
Yeah...

It's an example, I'm sure he knows what to do.
[Nexus 6P General] DirtyDroidX:
Ok this should work -should ;)

~Stock System

~Modified boot.img (no force encryption or checks)

~Vendor files included

[Nexus 6P General] DAE1964:
I just tried your zip and there's a problem with the vendor files not mounting in twrp. System won't boot.
[Nexus 6P General] DirtyDroidX:
Can you pull a log? Also did you wipe data/system blah blah ?
[Nexus 6P General] DAE1964:
I did wipe the usual before a clean install. I was on purenexus prior to install. Sorry no log pulled. Did a restore back to purebexus and had to reflash vendor image to get boot.
[Nexus 6P General] DAE1964:
I have the log but can't attach it.
[Nexus 6P General] mattwheat:
Are you guys trying to make a flashable N preview? I've got one that works. I dirty flashed it over "Xtrabattery odex xtreme" rom and seems to work fine. Of course there are the standard issues I.e. no file manager, no system access/ modding, and when I used TWRP to flash SuperSU.zip it boot loops. Oh and by the way I had the "Xtrabattery odex xtreme" already set up on a secondary rom slot in multi-rom. But other than the important stuff ,lmao, it booted and ran fine it seemed.

---------- Post added at 03:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 AM ----------

I think it wasn't actually the entire system and partitions, I believe it was just a flashable OTA.
[Nexus 6P General] :
Find the permissive logd file and boot script. SuperSU should work then.
[Nexus 6P General] DirtyDroidX:
PM me please.
[Nexus 6P General] tsuttie99:
So how stable would you guys say the current preview build is? I was on the edge of flashing the 1st build when it came out, but ultimately decided not to as too many people saying it was not reliable enough to be a daily driver yet, albeit very stable for what it was.
[Nexus 6P General] DirtyDroidX:
If you had to flash the vendor again, I would venture to say that the new vendor got flashed. Also, encryption is a problem. If people are encrypted they have to wipe userdata as well. This will boot you to a unencrypted system. It's one of the trade-off's if you want to get around using a computer.

I went back to MM and flashed it 3 different times -it's worked every time. Aldo, after you install the zip DO NOT let TWRP install SU.

Another thing for root. I use the beta systemless root -with no problems.

Their are many factors at play here. Encryption, SElinux, Verity, and oddball init mount's. Things are changing daily so what works one day or for one person may not work for the other. That's why I always use fastboot. I understand the convenience of the flashable zip -again you bring more problems to the table.
[Nexus 6P General] jaythenut:
I've been on n from day one I find it very stable and is fine for a daily driver

Stable? Whilst I agree, stuff like Amazon apps not working kinda makes it hard for me to use it as a daily
[Nexus 6P General] Michael in ATL:
I'm torn. I like it but memory mgmt is terrible, causing lag issues. I too cannot install apps from Amazon app store, along with Bluetooth aggravation.
[Nexus 6P General] :
In developer options scroll to the bottom and change background process limit to 2 or 3. You'll find that it greatly improves daily use.

[Nexus 6P General] diomark:
Preview 2 gets so laggy for me:( Tempted to switch back to 6.0.1.. hopefully preview3 speeds things up a bit. Also I really wish they'd fix some of the bluetooth issues (disconnects/reconnects, especially when in an area where a different bluetooth device is trying to connect. i.e. while wearing a headset and entering a car.. really annoying when on a call..)
[Nexus 6P General] OptimusOBrien:
2 questions for you guys. 1 How do you root preview 2? I have been searching and I am sure the answer is in this thread I just cant seem to find it. 2, Has anyone found a big difference with a custom kernel on preview 2? I know its a beta but just wondering if anyone has seen a noticeable difference with a custom one vs stock.
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
1) Rooting is always as easy, even on the Preview 2. You just need to flash the latest SuperSU via TWRP: https://download.chainfire.eu/932/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip

2) ElementalX 3.01 has shown some improvements over the stock kernel, definitely. I wouldn't say significant difference, but yes it does give it a good push.
[Nexus 6P General] OptimusOBrien:
Which TWRP should I use? I tried the latest last time and it froze on the boot TWRP splash screen. Does the latest one not work with P2 or did I perhaps miss a step.
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
If you choose to decrypt TWRP should work flawless. Actually TWRP is having issues with encrypted N preview right now. You can flash any TWRP version, but I favor the latest 3.0.2-0. It works great when decrypted.
[Nexus 6P General] OptimusOBrien:
Do I decrypt before I flash TWRP?
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Before or after, doesn't matter. Decryption wouldn't touch the recovery partition. Please make sure to backup everything before you decrypt.
[Nexus 6P General] StrizzMatik:
I find that most lag issues with Dev Preview 2 are mitigated with a custom kernel. I'm using Kylo r18 and it's blazing fast, I play tons of emulators on the 6P full-speed with all the graphical tweaks.
[Nexus 6P General] OptimusOBrien:
Thanks for the help

EDIT: How do I decrypt? I have never done that before

EDIT 2: I got it lol!
[Nexus 6P General] diomark:
One common routine for me is to bike, while listening to kindle audiobooks, recording my route through Strava, recording my heart rate through a bluetooth heart rate monitor using strava + a dedicated app, all while playing ingress and maybe having a google map in the background that I switch to as needed. Marshmallow handles this without any issues. Nexus N preview 2 lags big time trying to handle this workload..
