Encryptable boot!

:D

Edit:

Now the factory image with encryptable boot:

[Nexus 6  General] istperson:
Yes and no, respectively. And if you were unencrypted, it will force encypt it.

But the latest SuperSU beta is already up, it's systemless, and it disables force encrypt, and removes verity.
[Nexus 6  General] clshores:
Do existing root methods work on the official build?
[Nexus 6  General] yudumcan:
I'm on Latest PureNexus Rom don't know if it's unencrypted or not. will that make any difference?
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
I got the OTA but damn..858.6mb. much larger than I was expecting. I guess there is more in our OTA than the ones the 6p got.
[Nexus 6  General] istperson:
Look under Security in Settings, if it says under Encryption "Encrypt phone" then it's unencrypted.

And I certainly will not answer your second question, it would start another long fight. :D

How do you see the battery life on 7.0 compared to 6.0.1?
[Nexus 6  General] TonikJDK:
So far better than stock 6 but not as good as 6 with Franco's kernel. I wouldn't say it is bunches better than stock, but certainly noticeable.

I was running Pure Nexus so I manually flashed the radio, boot, etc to wipe the nexus 6 and install 7.0. I then flashed TWRP as recovery, however it keeps overwriting TWRP with stock on every boot. I thought TWRP would offer to prevent that but it doesn't. Any ideas?
[Nexus 6  General] Ind33d:
After finish flash all stock file (including stock recovery img), didnt you straight flash twrp without rebooting first?

You should let device reboot first time after finish flash stock file. Then after some setup etc., rebot back to bootloader mode and flash twrp.

Don't setting any pattern/password lock screen during setup first time. This to avoid interruption during flash twrp.
[Nexus 6  General] youssefkr:
guys, is there any root method for 7.0 ? thanks
[Nexus 6  General] CBMC:
I have used both phh latest superuser zip and supersu 2.78. They both work fine.
[Nexus 6  General] chitown835:
Just flash supersu in twrp
[Nexus 6  General] JimSmith94:
I thought I removed all traces of Magisk and PHH Superuser, but SuperSU 2.78 RI keeps bootlooping. Can somebody provide a list of files and/or apks that need to be removed to get this to work?
[Nexus 6  General] chitown835:
I'd recommend a fresh install
[Nexus 6  General] Ind33d:
Last night flash official stock 7.0 update from stock MOB31E without full wipe. I would say it's worth the wait. Working flawlessly. No apps force close, no random reboots, no sudden hang/lag, no unusual battery drain and no memory leaks.

After note 7 incident, we can conclude that there no wasting time in waiting. :D
[Nexus 6  General] yudumcan:
So here comes the biggest question: When are we getting 7.1?
[Nexus 6  General] wrsg:
This works perfectly for anyone trying to flash to 7.0 final from a rooted DP5. Not sure about the steps to erase though, I have a feeling they are redundant.

[Nexus 6  General] Nofe92:
Does the nexus 6 support file based encryption?
[Nexus 6  General] veesix:
Why are you switching from phh to SuperSU? (sincere question, no sarcasm intended)

I went with phh on Nougat after using SuperSU before, and it's working fine.

Just wanted to understand if I'd have some benefit switching back to SuperSU.

According to this article:

http://www.howtogeek.com/269422/how...ats-direct-boot-for-less-annoying-encryption/

it should be possible, but I have no such "convert to file encryption" option in Developer Options.
[Nexus 6  General] SamuriHL:
After you flash twrp you need to reboot to recovery without booting system first. Then it will "stick" for you.
[Nexus 6  General] Nofe92:
It's a kernel feature and google's implementation might require some hardware function not present in arm7.

Can anyone test

fastboot --wipe-and-use-fbe

It does not seem to use fbe anyway and just gives you the option to re-encrypt using the old method (but i cannot test it right now on my phone, I just read stuff online from the preview)
[Nexus 6  General] JimSmith94:
I originally switched to PHH and Magisk to be able to use Android Pay, but it required disabling Xposed and rebooting to use it. Now that suhide is out, "supposedly" Android Pay and Xposed can both be used without any toggles or reboots.
[Nexus 6  General] veesix:
I think so, when Xposed for N comes out.

Inviato dal mio Nexus 6 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Nexus 6  General] JimSmith94:
That is my hope as well. I bit the bullet and updated to N, knowing I'd have to live without Xposed for a while, but I want to be ready for it when it is released.

[Nexus 6  General] EA1DDO_SGS2:
Yesterday I have successfully upgraded my Nexus 6 to last 7.0 official image from Google.

Today I am trying to install TWRP with no success.

I have tried like 20 times, using Fastboot flashing 3.02.0 version. It goes good, but after reboot the TWRP is gone !!

I have already disabled the pattern unlock.

After flash, if I reboot to recovery, TWRP is still there. But if a perform a full reboot, to system and back to recovery, TWRP is gone.

Any idea?
[Nexus 6  General] craiger27:
Oh my. I feel I have really messed up today. Normally I grab the factory image and flash the files (except userdata & cache), then apply TWRP 3.0.2, then SuperSU 2.78 systemless. Worked great through all the monthly MM updates. For some unknown reason, this intimidated me with the N update and I grabbed the OTA and sideloaded it as others were saying the OTA sideload worked fine. Root says it applied, but my AdAway and EFS Explorer that always worked fine stopped acting rooted. Stopped working, to be blunt.

So I panic, because after mildly messing up my phone (daily driver, btw) my family is requiring other stuff from me, and I try to restore the TWRP backup I took prior the OTA. That backup should take me back to the MOB31H we just got the day before NBD90Z. After using TWRP to restore the backup, my phone takes FOREVER to do the 'app updating' section, then boot loops over and over after every time I started it. This was still late last night. I gave up, shut my phone off, and prayed there wasn't an emergency somewhere and my boss didn't call me. :)

So, this AM, I do the factory flash (which my script is virtually identical to the 11, or whatever, steps listed earlier in this thread) of everything except userdata. Used the 'encryptable boot' img posted earlier in this thread. Phone don't work. It's not boot looping, but I keep having a 'com.google.phone has crashed' or some very similar toast message. Tried twice to reflash, same thing. Unusable, with toasts of important processes crashing. So, do a little browsing, decide it can't hurt to clear all cache's, go back into TWRP, wipe caches (not any of the advanced ones, just the generic wipe cache in TWRP), and reboot. Similar to a factory reset - had to re-add my google account, settings are back to stock, etc. SDCARD data still there with music, videos, pictures, etc, but all apps are not coming back, took forever for contacts and stuff to return.

In going through the settings I notice that my phone NOW SAYS ENCRYPTED!!! Ya, I was unencrypted before this fiasco, and I somewhat understand what happened. The OTA encrypted my phone because it had the force-encryption boot.img, and now basically I wish I could get back to how things were yesterday on MM and restart.

Phone heavily customized, the last time I trashed it I spent DAYS getting it back. I have a TWRP backup, but what good is that if my phone boot loops?

So, looking for advice. Happy to stick with N, or go back to MM, either way. I have a TWRP backup of my phone, and a current backup of the 'sdcard' contents. Should I nuke it, unencrypt, then do a TWRP restore/copy? Then try to flash the update using the encryptable boot image? That should allow me to twrp/root/adaway/etc...

Been lurking since I bought this thing a year ago, best phone I've ever had and at this point would rather buy a spare than anything else out there. Not a 'droid expert, but a computer guy and I usually can get through things with a little searching on XDA, but today, man, I'm stumped as to the best way to go..

Thanks,

C

Installed 7 from NRT. Root is fine, same as beta. AdAway works fine, same as before. TWRP OK. Mostly same as before, including same old boot animation.
[Nexus 6  General] chriscerv90:
GPS not working well for me.

I use Waze and/or Google Maps for navigation (to avoid heavy traffic). My GPS constantly reroutes after thinking I am on a side street or traveling in a different direction. Had the same problem on the preview. Never had that problem since having the phone and through all the roms.

I am guessing it is a radio issue. DP5 radio gives me the same problem. If anyone else has a fix let me know.
[Nexus 6  General] rivethead23:
I tried that first by choosing the "recovery" option on the fastboot screen and then by doing a fastboot boot twrp.img after reflashing twrp.

Neither worked. Still overwrites.

You usually need root for it to stick, try flashing SuperSU once booted into twrp

Finally, today, after disable the pattern lock, I could run the NexusRootToolkit v2.1.9 and root it, including the TWRP.

If you don´t disable the pattern lock, NTR won´t complete the task.

Can I start whining about when we are going to get 7.1? Haha
[Nexus 6  General] R4INS:
Android has been doing that awhile. You can have a custom recovery and boot into STOCK android and it automatically flashes your recovery back. Next time install stock, boot, install twrp, boot into twrp, flash supersu and call it a day.
[Nexus 6  General] veesix:
I noticed that "Allow OEM unlock" is grayed out in developer settings. My bootloader is unlocked since day 1, ad it still is.

Do I need to fix this?
[Nexus 6  General] TonikJDK:
Pretty sure that was change awhile ago in an M update. It prevents you from hitting that before you relock in adb. If you do it that way bad thngs can happen.

[Nexus 6  General] daheazle:
I just installed the factory image today. Only one problem so far, the function to make certain aps notifications priority seems to be missing. According to Google's help pages it should be there under settings>notifications>app name>override so not disturb. None of my apps show the override do not disturb toggle, also in the Android help it says there are 4 options total for individual app notifications, I only see two.

Is that the case for everybody or something that just isn't showing for me?

Slide down the quick menu, hold down on the cog for like 5 seconds and it opens another section of the options called "System UI Tuner" right below developer options. In that menu there should be something and color and then an RGB slider.

[Nexus 6  General] cameraddict:
I believe it. I commonly get 48+ hours on battery with 7 hours SOT on DP5 with 10% left (mostly Wi-Fi). So if you have 3-5 hours of SOT, I can see getting 3 days+ on battery.
[Nexus 6  General] Didgeridoohan:
I go without Wi-Fi most of the day (mostly 4g, but some 3g). I normally get around 4-6 hours of SOT, but that's usually in one single day. Yes, I use my phone a lot. :D
[Nexus 6  General] cameraddict:
For the past two days I've been experimenting with only using a data connection, no Wi-Fi. I wanted to have a baseline battery consumption for data use before I install the OTA. So far I'm on battery for 38 hours with 29% left. 4 hours and 10 minutes of SOT. It's telling me that I have 16 hours left.

Interestingly, Android OS battery use has jumped while using data. And if I engage data saver, Android OS uses a lot more battery.

Overall, as long as the OTA doesn't change these numbers much, I'll be extremely happy!

There is no trouble... Make a backup of "boot" in TWRP- this contains your kernel and RAMdisk. Then flash another kernel. Right now for N there aren't a ton but I think Singularity, ElementalX, Sigma from neobuddy89 and Elite have builds pushed and maybe some more.

If at any point you don't like the kernel, it causes you issues, or you simply wish to revert to stock just go into TWRP and restore the stock boot.img

Edit away damage done by HOSTILE UNQUALIFIED MODERATOR....

When a moderator takes a stance against openness, it proves beyond any doubt that they are entirely unqualified for the position of moderating discussions on an OPEN TOPIC.

Binary software is a hostile cancer against KNOWLEDGE. While a lot of people can be happy in their ignorance, that same ignorance is the primary reason why they repeatedly get caught up in viruses, spyware, and other forms of malware. And while it is true that not everybody is able to read and understand source code, NOBODY can read or understand BINARY. At least not fully, or without a significant non-trivial work.

With binary-only software, the only people who have access to the code or understanding of its function, have a vested interest in HIDING any kind of flaws from their end users. In other words, you won't find out what bad or dangerous things it does. With open source software, it doesn't matter if you can't read it, because SOMEONE ELSE can, and WILL report on anything going on that shouldn't be. Absolute openness is in the open source software developer's best interests, because even the ATTEMPT to hide anything WILL destroy their reputation.

The binary-only solutions for root access are incredibly dangerous. You don't know what they are doing in the background without your knowledge. Giving ANYTHING that kind of power over something as personal as your phone is an unjustifiable risk.

Unless you ENJOY giving absolute control of your sensitive information over to someone who YOU DO NOT KNOW (even if they PRETEND to be your friend), then I very strongly suggest sticking with SAFE OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE: https://github.com/seSuperuser/AOSP-SU-PATCH
