OK? But how does that mean that a stock rom will install over a modified rom? When has that ever been the case?

He made the OTA zippable so that those who are on stock can flash it via TWRP and not have to wait on the OTA.
[Nexus 6P General] PieOfJustice:
Noticed that too. Downloading now and going to see if it works lashing via TWRP but still unlocked and rooted. Not expecting it to work.
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
This is like a striped back version of the new Nexus Phones OS.
[Nexus 6P General] Franzie3:
I believe if you flash the OTA 1+GB file you can flash it in TWRP but you will need to flash either the DP5 unsecure boot in bootloader mode or EX Kernel DP5 if you are rooted and unencrypted otherwise it will not boot. I am going to give it a shot. I am just backing up my SD to my desktop so nothing gets lost just in case.
[Nexus 6P General] elsworth1983:

Ok so the OTA came, tried to install, and now is forever looping, because my device was rooted I think. Will have to wait for an factory image. Dont want to wait! :(

Kinda off topic but is there a new easter egg in Nougat when you tap on Android version? Is it the cat thingy like in Developer preview or is it something different?
[Nexus 6P General] maxxie85:
I found a new easter egg. If you go to edit your notificationbar it says easter egg, add it and you can choose from multiple dishes...

Edit, removed screenshots
[Nexus 6P General] Franzie3:
Were you unencrypted? If so flash the DP5 unsecure boot.img or EX DP5 and you should be ok for now until the 7.0 unseucre boot.img is out.
[Nexus 6P General] dasu10:
Did you clear data and cache from TWRP then flashed OTA zip? Will it wipe entire internal storage?
[Nexus 6P General] i42o:
Exactly. If the new features aren't released within the week, our Nexus indeed will get system updates the fastest but will not get exclusive Google I/O announced features until that years Nexi are released.

Guess only new nexus get exclusives.... lets hope i'm wrong. This is all speculation... so....
[Nexus 6P General] fadac:
How'd you install? FlashFire? Fastboot? TWRP?
[Nexus 6P General] mattkroeder:
Considering going from Pure Nexus to 100% stock when the factory images are published. I don't suppose Titanium Backup works without root to restore app data?
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
It would be a good way to try and make Nexus users purchase a new Nexus every year, year specific only features. We already know only the new Nexus is getting seamless updates.

[Nexus 6P General] Citizen_Snips:

[Nexus 6P General] Vitotankian:
oK guys, I end up force shouting down my phone, was taking too long. Maybe was a mistake. After turning it on again, there was a message about encrypting error or something like that, and the phone asked to wipe data, so after a factory reset the phone wake to Android N :D

I was on 6.0.1 Rooted with TWRP and made the update trough OTA.

This may help somebody.

[Nexus 6P General] dasu10:
You can backup apps data using adb and then restore it after up finish setting up N.
[Nexus 6P General] i42o:
that's what happens when they close source key elements of android.... they are indeed baiting us with these kinda tactics i would say.... kinda like ... You want the new google features? well buy the new nexus....we don't care you spent $649 on last years model.... you have to pay that again or else you wont get these features..

we where on the final 7.0 all along.... Evan had mentioned that it would drop with 8/02 security patch and here we are.....

i'm gonna go jb an iPhone lol
[Nexus 6P General] dasu10:
I am trying to do same but i want to know if it will wipe all of my data.
[Nexus 6P General] steve.t:
It will when you lock the bootloader.
[Nexus 6P General] g00s3y:
OTA zip worked fine with TWRP coming from pure nexus, I may actually just stay on stock android finally.
[Nexus 6P General] crossen0:
Did you just do a wipe in TWRP and then flash the OTA.zip? And are you rooted?
[Nexus 6P General] g00s3y:
Yep, that was all. And I was previously rooted on 6.0.1, literally just flashed 7.0.
[Nexus 6P General] SmilerOnline:
*UPDATE*

MEMORY IMPROVEMENTS!!!

I recently made a live wallpaper which shows me my memory usage live, and with DP5 it was reporting between 1000MB - 1500MB average. But now it is showing an average of 450MB - 500MB!!!.

So this should definitely be a big improvement to many devices out there as its using less than half the memory on average!.

I'll let you know if I see anything else that seems quite so big an improvement from the DP5 to Final builds!. :)
[Nexus 6P General] boominski:
Rooted on 6.01 with Elementalx. Enrolled in beta. Got OTA. Then... phone rebooted to TWRP at 75% checking the package. Rebooted and still on 6.01. Checking for updates briefly flashes Android 7 available then cuts to 'your system is up to date'. Weird.
[Nexus 6P General] Jay794:

[Nexus 6P General] hahajoker:
EX DP5?
[Nexus 6P General] Franzie3:
ElementalX Dev preview 5 kernel.

I'm assuming the unsecure boot.img from DP5 can be flashed in the bootloader if you were only using that.
[Nexus 6P General] tsuttie99:
EX DP5 = ElementalX DP5 build
[Nexus 6P General] azsl1326:
Trying to understand exactly what you did. You were previously on PN. Wiped system in TWRP. Then flashed the OTA.zip via TWRP. Correct? Did you you lose your (external) data files? Assuming you no longer have root?

I read about the method of signing up for the beta. I was rooted with twrp. So I flashed stock recovery, signed up for the beta, and within 3 minutes I was downloading the OTA. Update went perfect.
[Nexus 6P General] FreemanAMG:
I got the OTA with the Beta Program trick. Everything worked flawlessly on stock, except for the fact that, with every reboot, the "Use sRGB" settings resets itself.

After that, I flashed TWRP 3.0.2-0. but I couldn't start it. After a reboot, I tried "adb reboot recovery" but got the Android with the red triangle
[Nexus 6P General] volcs0:
For those coming from PureNexus via the OTA.zip, did you backup/restore anything via Google's backup or Titanium? Or did you re-install and re-configure form a vanilla install?
[Nexus 6P General] FreemanAMG:
Nevermind. I just realized there's a TWRP 3.0.2-1, released today
[Nexus 6P General] dratsablive:
After flashing TWRP you need to reboot to TWRP then flash SU. This will prevent the standard recovery overwriting twrp.

A lot of people had this issue (before today), you can try fixing it by adding a second Google account and using the second account to enroll. Not sure if it will work now, but since others don't seem to have this issue, this might work for you.

You really did not need to unroot. When it flashes the new image you will lose root. Were you on stock MM before?

Followed tutorial from xda. Steps:

- flashed clean stock 7.0 (DP5 then ota)

- flashed twrp

- flashed modified boot.img for root

- reboot to recovery. Freezeed on twrp splash screen

- unencrypted

- reboot to recovery failed (red triangle)

- again flashed twrp

- rebooted to recovery, flashed SU

All seemed good, except I cant install bloody gsam battery monitor. Same happened on DP5 but didn't bother too much. Is it common or my root is messed up?

Not that it really matters at this point, but when I attempted to use the beta program site to set up the OTA, it tells me I have no eligible devices for it. Of course, my 6p begs to differ. Any thoughts on this? Again though, it's not pressing, being that the images will be up from Google within the day.

Update to 7.0 from DP5 and maintain data, root, TWRP, unencryption

Per OP, confirming update without wiping to 7.0 Nougat from DP5 with device root, TWRP recovery, and unencryption works. You can have either stock kernel or EX kernel already installed. Here are the steps below with all necessary download links:

1. Download all necessary files:

TWRP 3.0.2-1 for 6P: https://dl.twrp.me/angler/twrp-3.0.2-1-angler.img.html

Nougat 7.0 OTA: https://r5---sn-a5meknes.gvt1.com/p...CBBC0D2BE827AEA00120B03F3B6E68A77281&key=cms1

Elemental X DP5 Kernel: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24665509702139914

SuperSU 2.76: http://download.chainfire.eu/969/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip

2. Reboot to TWRP recovery

3. Flash latest TWRP recovery (3.0.2-1) image. Make sure to flash image and not zip.

4. Flash latest OTA in new TWRP

5. Flash EX DP5 Kernel

6. Flash SuperSU 2.76

7. Wipe Cache

8. Reboot (may take a while)

9. Enjoy OTA Nougat without losing data and maintaining root, unencryption and TWRP!

Is that kernel the same as the modified boot img?
[Nexus 6P General] AndreaCristiano:
Got it all good. Doesn't seem like there are any surprises
[Nexus 6P General] fish3191:
Yes, EX DP5 Kernel takes the place of the modified boot.img, since we don't have a modified boot.img yet. I can only confirm this works going from DP5 to Nougat. Not sure about 6.0.1.
[Nexus 6P General] AreOh:
Well, a nice outline for going from dp5, hopefully we can get the same for 6.0.1 to Nougat here soon. I really want this done tonight. I'm thinking if I should just go fully stock and then sideload the OTA.

Actually no. Because I want to keep root.

I was on DP5 unencrypted using DP5 modified kernel. I did everything except flash EX DP5 kernel. Did not lose unencryption and now running NRD90M.

so when should be expect the factory images to release?

[Nexus 6P General] chevydiva:
I flashed thru flash fire from the latest pure Nexus ROM.. it went thru fine. The second time I tried going to recovery it did get stuck though. All I did was the three button combo to boot into the bootloader.. pressed volume down until I reached "factory" selected it and it rebooted right into the system no problem. Didn't delete anything either. My only issue now is my two recovery doesn't work. It's an outdated version.
[Nexus 6P General] znel52:
So we no longer need a modded boot image since the new twrp can decrypt N? Is that correct?
