[Nexus 6P General] hutzdani:
If your coming from purenexus you can dirty flash, this is what I did using the steps I posted back on page 3.

I flashed the ROM from TWRP without doing a wipe ! And then reflashed TWRP then the boot image then made a full boot and then reflashed Super SU.
[Nexus 6P General] rest0ck:
I don't get what I am supposed to do with only this 12mb boot.img file.

Or am I missing something?

/e Or does it mean that I get the OTA update when I flash this boot img some how? I guess that means there is no flashable full rom yet? I can't use wifi on my phone at the moment.
[Nexus 6P General] opz187:
Hey Digi would I be correct in assuming that after I'm all set up with your OTA and custom boot in op(thank you, you da man), rooted via magisk, can I flash one of the more recent kernels originally for dp5, seeing as how the build date for boot.iimg from o.p. is from July 1st?
[Nexus 6P General] opz187:
It's an insecure boot with force encryption disabled so you can decrypt if needed in order to obtain root
[Nexus 6P General] xxBrun0xx:
Someone in another thread hard bricked their phone by doing this, so I'd be VERY hesitant to try flashing the OTA if you're on any custom MM ROM.
[Nexus 6P General] Edgio60:
Yeah, I'm decrypted and rooted on latest Pure Nexus and no way am I brave enough to try this.
[Nexus 6P General] kouss77550:
TWRP-3.0.2-1 is out and should work on encrypted Android N
[Nexus 6P General] Edgio60:
Yeah, already updated to the latest TWRP but no way am I using it to flash the Nougat OTA over a custom MM ROM. 2 or 3 guys have already bricked their devices doing this.

If I want to try, I'll wait until I'm home and return to full stock first.
[Nexus 6P General] skw5115:
Just wipe system and data (not SD) and flash the OTA. I did it coming from Chroma and everything is good
[Nexus 6P General] techbeck:
Worked great!! Thanks!!!
[Nexus 6P General] bwhite116:

[Nexus 6P General] mobileman88:
I saw [MENTION=4153349]Heisenberg[/MENTION] update to the root thread.

Does it mean I can retain all my MM 6.0.1 data? I am on the latest MTC60F build right now. Rooted with Magisk V6, PHH Root and systemless xposed.

Already updated to the latest TWRP 3.0.2-1
[Nexus 6P General] vestaviajag:
From what I've read, it's not troublesome to go from custom MM to N OTA, it's when you go BACK to a custom MM that bricked ppl's devices. Be wary and read up before flashing to the latest & greatest. Even if it works right off the bat for you, you might have painted yourself in to a corner.
[Nexus 6P General] dmarden:
For anyone wondering or still nervous... here's my deal:

New TWRP, coming from latest stock Marshmallow build, rooted and still encrypted.

Downloaded the 1-ish GB OTA posted by digitalhigh, downloaded EX Kernel 3.04, and SuperSU 2.76.

Booted into TWRP, flashed the OTA zip (no reboot)

Re-flashed TWRP (no reboot)

Flashed the SuperSU zip (no reboot)

Flash EX

Wiped dalvik/cache

Reboot system

As SuperSU mentioned... it rebooted once on its own and then booted into Android 7.0 just fine... still encrypted, still have root, no data loss.

I didn't mess around with any modified boot images or anything.
[Nexus 6P General] mobileman88:
Do I need to format userdata if I am coming from the latest August MM 6.0.1 security update? Stock with Magisk Rooted and Xposed.

Would prefer not to have to setup everything all over again.
[Nexus 6P General] hutzdani:
Zero issues here, yeah I saw his thread about it but to be honest he said he was overzealous about the flashing and possibly forgot to do things in the right order and flash things correctly.

I came from the most recent Purenexus build and had absolutely zero issues.

Wiped /Data /Cahces everything apart from internal storage and system and the usual via TWRP

Flash ROM

Flash TWRP

Flash Bootloader

Boot system

after finishing booting do the usual setup yadda yadda then boot into recovery and flash your SU package from CF's site reboot and away you go.

---------- Post added at 03:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 PM ----------

Yes I was decrypted, I never allow encryption since google went down this route and we could change the flag as it causes so many issues with ROM flashing later on down the line try and stay decrypted if your going to be flashing lots of roms
[Nexus 6P General] mohdfahad47:
Can you explain me the process to root android nougat 7.0. I updated by enrolling to the beta and getting the ota...sorry if the question has been asked before but im kinda confused how to do it...thanks
[Nexus 6P General] dmarden:
You don't give any info about your current setup (what's installed, encrypted/not, etc) or anything... so I'm not sure how to help you.
[Nexus 6P General] charlie.s:
Digitalhigh and all, I followed the original instructions in this post to the letter and got stuck at the Magisk point. While it appeared to install fine along with phh SuperSU, the phone was not rooted. When I tried to user the Magisk Manager, while it claimed to be rooted, I could not toggle root off. The slider moved back after a second or two.

Any ideas?

Update: After I realized that the PHH SU needs a front end apk installed, I reflashed and everything works as you said. Thanks!
[Nexus 6P General] mohdfahad47:
I just got updated to 7.0 via ota update automatically(im 100% stock with stock recovery)... And my bootloader is locked...so i guess my device is encrypted..
[Nexus 6P General] dmarden:
So you're like... completely 100% pure stock. You're not ready for this thread. Start here and read carefully so you don't cause yourself trouble: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928
[Nexus 6P General] Guessphx:
Here's my set up maybe you can help me. I'm on RR Rom rooted of course with xposed, Dolby/viper audio mod and all the extras oh and I am encrypted. Any advice on how to go about it would be appreciated very much thank you!
[Nexus 6P General] mohdfahad47:
Ok..thanks
[Nexus 6P General] chaco81:
you say you didnt mess with modified boot images... yet you flashed a modified boot image (EX Kernel) what gives?

Thanks for the post tho... i am on latest MM, rooted, encrypted and i want to keep encryption without wiping... but i dont want no fancy kernels like EX etc... i want stock kernel...

seems still required to have a modified stock 7.0 boot, so i guess i gotta wait to root until we have one.
[Nexus 6P General] dmarden:
I get what you're saying... My phrasing was in reference to a number of posts I read implying/indicating/suggesting that a specific modified boot.img was needed in the process separate from an N-compatible kernel.

As far as I am aware, I don't think I needed Ex, I just use it. It was the last thing I flashed, but I think if I just stopped after SuperSU I would've been fine too.
[Nexus 6P General] alphashine:
Confirmed works with stock kernel too. Make sure you get the latest (3.0.2-1) twrp.
[Nexus 6P General] saar73:
Just to confirm for others :

1. Flash ROM don't reboot system !

2. Flash TWRP don't reboot system !

3. Flash the modified boot image, now reboot system !

4. Let it boot fully and make any app updates

5. Reboot into recovery

6. Flash SU

7. Wipe caches

8. Reboot and away you go !

after reboot all apps forced close :(

what should i do now?
[Nexus 6P General] godzulu:

I've been trying but can't get system ui tuner to activate with the file downloaded from here. Does anyone else have this issue?
[Nexus 6P General] toyanucci:
After a few reboots and a number of tries it finally enabled!
[Nexus 6P General] hutzdani:
Dis you wipe the Data partition ? This will cause you to setup again as if it was a new device but keep all your internal storage.

If you don't wipe the Data partition complex app info and settings will persist from your previous set up and cause FC's

Make a wipe of that partition via TWRP and reboot and go again, some apps will need to be updated anyway and will likely not work correctly until they are.

[Nexus 6P General] E30Nova:
When you say you flashed the bootloader, do you mean you flashed the modified boot.img?
[Nexus 6P General] jsminnis:
Does the modified boot allow for system root or is N still systemless only.
[Nexus 6P General] SHPhone:
I'm going to try this tonight. I'll be coming from the latest Pure Nexus build with no root and encrypted. I don't mind keeping it encrypted and, in fact, may need it to pass Airwatch MDM.

If I don't care about the phone being encrypted, do I need to use the modified boot.img? IOW: Can the latest TWRP 3.0.2-1 handle the encrypted phone?

If I don't have to used the modified image my plan is:

1. Wipe caches and data

2. Flash OTA ROM

2. Flash latest TWRP

3. Let it boot fully and make any app updates

4. Go on my merry way.
[Nexus 6P General] john7760:
I'd like to just say thanks to all for the flashing instructions. I came from DU rom previously. Flashed with the posted instructions and all went off without a hitch. Thanks again!
[Nexus 6P General] Tkun:
I flashed the boot image through TWRP and in settings my security still says encrypted after booting up. Is that supposed to be the case or was I supposed to flash the boot image while in the bootloader to decrypt my device?
[Nexus 6P General] Registerforwhat:
So by the instructions posted elsewhere I went into ADB flashed the newer version of twrp and the new boot image, then I unplugged, went into my phone to and installed the new 7 image, it had 2 errors, when I tried rebooting twrp warned me that no OS was installed. I downloaded the file twice with the same results. Did I flash the boot img too soon? How do I fix? I was able to recover and flash DU again just to get the phone working again.

Thanks!
[Nexus 6P General] Citizen_Snips:
3.0.2-1 can handle encryption. I flashed 3.0.2-1 IMG file from the last version, first. After that I fastboot flashed the last 6.0.1 factory images. Vendor, system, boot, radio & bootloader. NOT userdata. From there I flashed the 7.0 full OTA zip from the OP. I had no issues booting up or anything. I also flashed the latest phh superuser & magisk framework. I have root. After that I flashed EX kernel for DP5 just because I prefer his kernel. All is well on my end. N is pretty cool so far. Can't wait for custom ROMs on it!
[Nexus 6P General] eduardozeassesme:
what theme do you use?
[Nexus 6P General] Citizen_Snips:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=bitsykolayers.piereligio.mdm

Edit: [MENTION=5317744]eduardozeassesme[/MENTION] I noticed that Documents is broken with this theme. Don't apply it. Smart Lock will also force close settings if you apply it. I set up Smart Lock first and then applied the theme. Besides that, haven't run into any other tissues yet.
[Nexus 6P General] hutzdani:
Yes flash the OTA.zip then the modified boot and then the TWRP all in one session and only reboot once you have flashed all 3
[Nexus 6P General] godzulu:
Deleted
[Nexus 6P General] E30Nova:
Yeah that's what I figured. I couldn't wait so I flashed it, assuming that's what you meant. So far everything works, including substratum themes. Not sure if I like some of the new "features", though...

Those are fine, don't worry about them. I had 2 sets of errors, too, and twrp told me the same thing about "no OS". I rebooted anyway and everything worked out.
[Nexus 6P General] godzulu:
Need a little help please. Followed directions to the letter. Phone just loops between google and "your device software can't be checked". Been doing this for 15 minutes or so. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks
[Nexus 6P General] zeavott:
Came from Pure Nexus ROM. Followed your instructions and was able to get the update. I did lose root and TWRP in the process, but it was my fault entirely, since I should have realized the OTA would have flashed recovery as well. (I could have avoided this by flashing TWRP after, followed by root, I believe)

I should be able to fix this, with pushing via fastboot, I'm thinking?

Otherwise, super job on this [MENTION=3400685]digitalhigh[/MENTION] - Thank you thank you!
[Nexus 6P General] mobileman88:
absolutely. you can simply reflash TWRP 3.0.2-1 in fastboot. You'd be all set.
[Nexus 6P General] SHPhone:
I'm not so sure. I Went ahead and followed my plan:

Boot into TWRP

Wipe caches, system, user data

Flash OTA

Flash (image) 3.0.2.-1 img

Reboot

It booted into N fine, although the boot animation seems to be MM.

All apps are working fine BUT I lost TWRP recovery. Because I'm not rooted, I had to shut down and go into the bootloader manually. When I select "recovery" I get the "No Command". I reinstalled TWRP manually through fastboot (fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-1-angler.img). I rebooted into the bootloader and then into recovery. TWRP was there. BUT, when I rebooted the system and then powered down and tried to access TWRP through bootloader, it's gone again. The stock recover is there but not TWRP.
[Nexus 6P General] Citizen_Snips:
As far as the boot animation goes, there isn't a new one for Nougat. I went completely stock and updated via About Phone from Google directly. Boot animation is the same.

You lost TWRP because the stock ROM overwrites it. There's a sticky thread pinned to the top of this forum about it.

When you see "No Command" that is the stock recovery. You hold down power, press volume up and release both and it will boot into stock recovery. I honestly suggest you read up on all of the pinned guides here about unlocking and rooting.

Edit: Why are you flashing OTA and then new TWRP? It was updated for N, so why flash it after?
[Nexus 6P General] jesssiii:
The OTA zip installs stock recovery, that's why.

He just didn't flash any root zip, so twrp didn't stay.

Nexus 6P
[Nexus 6P General] Citizen_Snips:
Yes I know that happens, I pointed it out in my reply. He also said in his initial steps that he flashed the OTA from TWRP and then flashed the new TWRP after (which was updated to address encryption issues on N). Before rebooting and having it being overwritten. :)
[Nexus 6P General] SHPhone:
Your question suggests that I should have flashed the new TWRP before flashing the Android N zip. But as Jesssii correctly notes, I did it in that that because I assume the the OTA would simply overwrite my custom (TWRP) recovery with the stock recovery. I believe that the correct order is flash the stock rom then flash the custom recovery..

Moreover, despite your somewhat condescending "suggestion" that I read the pinned guides (I have), you didn't answer WHY TWRP is being overwritten by the stock recovery. Jesssii suggests it's because I haven't rooted the phone. Do I really need root to keep TWRP? I have been running TWRP on various custom ROMs (without SU because I have to use Airwatch) and didn't have this problem.

I wonder instead whether I needed to hunt for the option to allow TWRP to modify the system partition. That option didn't automatically pop up when I first flashed TWRP and booted into it. I'll try to fastboot TWRP again and see if can find that option.
[Nexus 6P General] bouchigo:
It's not because you didn't root, it's because you didn't rename recovery-from-boot to recovery-from-boot.bak in /system

You can do it by booting into TWRP when first flashed before booting into the OS. You can either flash a mod that will change the name for you, or manually rename it through the TWRP file manager.

EDIT: Flash this zip after you flash the TWRP image, it will rename the file so you can keep TWRP permanently: http://www.mediafire.com/download/t5b3err868lidye/allow_permanent_recovery.zip
[Nexus 6P General] SHPhone:
Gracias! I'll try it tonight.
[Nexus 6P General] Aeonxul:
Hey guys! How is it that the OTAs started rolling out from yesterday but stock factory images for Nexus 6P and 5X are not uploaded officially by Google yet? It just seems strange to me.
[Nexus 6P General] DroidRaged:
I assume it is because Google want to make the people enrolled in the beta program feel special, being the only ones to receive an official OTA of the first release of N, but not for long. The images and OTA's are up though, but only for Pixel C, Nexus Player, and Nexus 9.

---------- Post added at 03:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 AM ----------

Thank you, [MENTION=3400685]digitalhigh[/MENTION]. Everything went smoother than expected. I even flashed ElementalX 3.04 with no issues, yet.
[Nexus 6P General] SHPhone:
No joy. I fastboot flashed the TWRP image. I then went to manuallly change the name of the file. First I had to mount the system partition. Then I looked in /system and saw that the file was already named "recovery-from-boot.bak" so there was nothing to rename.

Any other ideas?

[MENTION=3400685]digitalhigh[/MENTION].. i have been looking fo a flashable phh su and cant seem to find one... can any body help me out... thanks in advance
[Nexus 6P General] floepie:
I'm quite sure the OTA does NOT install the stock recovery. It only makes a "copy" of it on the system partition so that when it boots up, it can write to the /recovery partition to restore it should the stock recovery be tampered with. This is why you don't have to flash recovery with TWRP *after* the OTA flash. But, you would have had to flash SuperSU or modify the system like you did in order to prevent the system from writing to the recovery partition during the boot process.
[Nexus 6P General] vishal007:
This is the third time I'm flashing this ota since google is just not ready to give out system images. And yet I'm still facing the same problem everytime and end up returning to M.

The problem I'm facing is, the playstore doesn't work no matter what I do (wipe it's data/cache or even wipe play service's data/cache). I download any app and it just stays to 'download pending' like forver.

I even tried flashing gapps on the top but it didn't turn out to be a good idea.

Anyways, I'm really fed up now, would really appreciate anyone's help! Thanks.
[Nexus 6P General] mobileman88:
That is very strange. Wiping cache is quite different in N. Seems that dalvik cache partitions are no longer used.
[Nexus 6P General] vishal007:
Alright, I was finally able to pin point the bug. The culprit is play store. Idk if this bug was present in dev previews. The play store won't download app form mobile data no matter what. It just download from wifi network.

Can anyone else confirm? It can't be just me, cuz I tried several other N builds all had this same issue.
[Nexus 6P General] SHPhone:
Do you have any suggestions of what I can do at this point to get TWRP to stick? I can't have root (because of Airwatch) but I don't think allowing TWRP to modify the system will cause a problem.
[Nexus 6P General] cybrdude:
I have the same problem plus all Google Services crash and the phone randomly reboots every few minutes?? Using Wi-FI to update all Google services fix this issue?
[Nexus 6P General] vishal007:
Not sure. I reverted back to Marshmallow until official system images comes out. BTW I was not facing random reboots, just that mobile data was not working with play store is a no go for me.
[Nexus 6P General] ultyrunner:
I was, and remain, encrypted and have had no problems with TWRP on Nougat. I believe older versions have problems, but the most recent seems to work fine with encrypted.

Okay I'm not really one that's paranoid to begin with but...

My phone was at the local FedEx facility on the 18th but FedEx wouldn't give it up until Friday which I understand. However, I go through my phone and i find that it was factory Data reset on the 19th. I didn't do it obviously. I purposefully ignored the software update until today. The phone was obviously handled bc of the dust on the device itself.

When i originally tried to activate the phone I couldn't even get past the Activation screen until I put my active sim in the phone.

Can anyone explain to me why this would happen? I'm on Verizon. Okay technically it was the day I received it but.. I didn't perform any factory reset on the device.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] GuestK00345:
Verizon. Mine also says that. Most likely because you turned it on for first time on the 19th and it went through same process as a factory reset.

I'm sure these devices are tested to boot and then factory reset before being packed by Samsung. But, what trips the 19th, specifically, I do not know.

Oh OK. Just read about all the changes Verizon made. Weird (but not out of the ordinary for Verizon apparently).
