Hey guys.. If I'm on Dirty Unicorns do I need to update my vendor before flashing?
[Nexus 6P General] bwhite116:
I've found there is a difference between the OTA that the 6.0.1 devices get and the OTA that the Dev Preview devices get. Those coming from 6.0.1 don't get night mode in their download, and those coming from dev preview get to keep night mode. I have flashed Dev Preview 4 but the download size that I get OTA is still 1174 MB, this is the OTA without night mode. I would like to keep night mode so does anyone have the OTA that is only 49.5 MB? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Most often, I'd say yes

Same problem here except my phone reboots everyone few minutes. My initial was OTA via Dev Program, then I loaded Recovery and flash manually, no luck. :(
[Nexus 6P General] KBizzle:
What stock 6.0.1 rom were you running?
[Nexus 6P General] Atticustrd:
Thanks, if my phone is encrypted would your steps work? I'm on 6.0.1 latest.
[Nexus 6P General] marc.ientilucci:
The normal stock rom from 6.0.1 latest factory image.

---------- Post added at 02:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 AM ----------

I don't believe so. Once it's encrypted, I believe there's no going back.

With that being said, superSU may account if the phone is already encrypted if I remember reading correctly. I wouldn't recommend cus I'm not 100% sure :-/ sorry
[Nexus 6P General] KBizzle:
Which one exactly? A custom rooted version or just the straight up unrooted stock rom?
[Nexus 6P General] marc.ientilucci:
Sorry for the confusion..

- Started by flashing 6.0.1 clean factory image files (MTC20F)

- DID NOT boot into system (this prevented phone from encrypting)

- Flashed TWRP over stock recovery

- Booted into TWRP and flashed superSU to decrypt and gain root

- Booted into system and set phone up still on marshmallow (apps/accounts/settings/etc.)

- Booted back into TWRP

- Flashed OTA.zip

- Flashed SuperSU to re-gain root

- Booted into fastboot

- Flashed recovery

- Rebooted system

Hopefully this helps...

Is there a way to force the OTA update on the stock 6p (no bootloader unlock, no root) without enrolling on the beta?
[Nexus 6P General] Atticustrd:

Yes depending if your encrypted or not there could be an additional step or so. Check OP

[Nexus 6P General] Suhas_JS:
Looks like I got an official update today. Could someone please confirm?
[Nexus 6P General] p0k3y:
Yes, but that costs $$. I am enjoying my free Ringplus plan right now. Worst case, I will just pay $1.99/mo for tethering, which is what I will do if Google shuts down the backdoor to hack build.prop without root. In that case, I may as well get the fruit phone and pay for tether, because Android will be no more flexible than iOS.
[Nexus 6P General] tebower:
I got the 49.5 but where is "night mode?" I don't see this setting anywhere.

Someone said their baseband was 3.72. Mine is 3.67. I installed ota using FlashFire. Is there a new radio or not?
[Nexus 6P General] TheIgster:
Yes, but they said existing Nexus devices will be able to update much faster than ever before, so no long wait times when installing updates. Not quite seamless, but at least faster.

Hmmm...Mine is there. I'm on 7.0 released today from DP5.

[Nexus 6P General] mochamoo:
Was that the 49.5 one or the larger 1.1 (?) one? Were you on a preview build or marshmallow? Guess it doesn't really matter. I am just curious. Maybe I will flash from the factory image when it drops. Thanks.
[Nexus 6P General] Funkwheat:
I'm not sure what's different about 7.0 versus other updates, but when I flashed this over PN I had apps repeatedly crashing. This is expected with a dirty flash from a non stock ROM, so I attempted to revert to my backup, and now I can't even get back into the phone. Everything I do leads to a boot loop. I don't want to litter up this thread with this issue, just want to point it out in case anyone else is having a similar issue.

[Nexus 6P General] BennyJr:
Downloading now too!
[Nexus 6P General] Franzie3:
SuperSU should, so should TWRP. The Dp5 kernel probably will too, but i wouldnt recommend it. I would wait. TBH the only thing we should even thinka bout now is root and TWRP.

Both i'd assume will be available, fastest way will be image though.

Honestly i'm personally going to go 100% stock to start. I'd make backups now and then copy the contents of your storage to a desktop. Flash everything stock, then go from there. Keep in mind, you still need to wait for unsecure boot.img to be able to get most of it working. Me personally, im going to flash stock and wait it out.

Not yet, usually take a few days if not a week before everything is in AOSP and then Dev's can pull everything. We won't see updates to ROMS for a few weeks since they will need to rework some stuff.

I hope Xposed will be available for 7.0
[Nexus 6P General] AreOh:
So, I thought I read before that when you root the stock rom and add xposed you stop receiving OTA updates, but I actually have had them automatically download when connecting to wifi twice. So I'm curious, if that happens with Nougat what damage is done (if any) if I just let it install on top of my current setup?

Adaway + tethering w/o root

Is there a way to do this without running root?

This is what I was trying to accomplish:

Root

Modify build.prop for tethering on Sprint

Flash AdAway setup hosts file and System-less script

unroot

Reboot

Still have tethering and ad-free device.

Also attempted booting into recovery and installing MoAB hosts file via an adb push localfile /system/etc/hosts

This does not seem to be possible with 7.0 because of SELinux (I guess, not sure what else would cause it to overwrite a file that was pushed through recovery).

So what I am trying to achieve is an ad-free device without being rooted 100% of the time.

Has anyone accomplished this yet?

This initially worked in Android M, but instead of using /systems/etc/hosts, I was using a symlink from /data/data/hosts to /system/etc/hosts, and when unrooting, the blocked hosts file still stuck. This no longer seems to work in Android N either.

[Nexus 6P General] marc.ientilucci:
Not sure if this would work but have you've tried --bind instead of the symlink?
[Nexus 6P General] alexiuss:
Because there is no night mode now and there was no night mode in DP5...People having night mode are those coming from earlier preview builds.

The launcher and new messenger and video apps are going to come with the new device.

Sorry for my english and sorry for this post if this was posted before in this topic and I was too dumb to find it. :)

1. Go to bootloader

2. fastboot flash bootloader, radio, boot, cache, recovery, system, vendor from stock MTC20F MTC20F Download

3. Boot into (now stock) recovery

4. adb sideload the 1.1GB OTA zip file from 6.01 to 7.0 OTA Download from this post

5. I booted Nougat at this point to see if everything works

6. Shutdown phone and go to bootloader again

7. fastboot flash recovery TWRP 3.0.2.1 TWRP Download

8. Reboot into TWRP

9. Install SuperSU 2.76 Zip SuperSU Download

10. Reboot phone, it has 1-2 additional reboots before starting up completely (This is normal after installing SuperSU)

Do adb sideload .zip

I then get E footer is wrong

Update package verification failed

E: signature verification failed

What the hell am I doing wrong? *scratched head"
[Nexus 6P General] nazforex:
The OTA is block-base so you will not be able to get vendor.img until Google releases the factory images.

Read further down "ZIP: The better method".

You simply can't remove and add to zip without resigning it. The file will fail signature verification.

I see all the tutorials/guides/comments are all from people coming from DP5 - beginning to regret flashing 6.0.1 back, and then using the OTA on the phone, seems like it's easier to maintain root and decrypt from DP5 than having standard 7.0

7) install superSU 2.7.6 Zip
