I did use twrp 3.2.3.0, however now the phone shows what I had before 3.1.1.1-0

and I just realized I didn't format after wipe.....

Is there anything I can do to save my phone???
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
Yes. Don't panic. It's apparently quite hard to brick a Nexus.

Edit: switched to my laptop for easier typing...

Your problem is therefore a combination of not formatting data (therefore still encrypted, hence the password demand) and the old version of TWRP, which I've read doesn't play well with newer ROMS.

If you read my instructions again, understand the principle, and watch the installation video again, I have no doubt that you'll succeed. The hardest part is setting up the new ROM in the way that you like.

The only blip that I've had is that TWRP can refuse to format data - I don't know why, and I haven't asked because there's a simple way to get round it by using your laptop to "fastboot format userdata". Again, if that's not familiar, read up on it and ask if you still don't get it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ZakSeven:
Well I did realize it was happening, fast restart I would call it, sometime while phone was idling. It was noticeable for me while using Crypto wallets (2 different app), a specific game who use lots of ram, and sometime while reading my news. The Crypto and game I attributed to those apps given it was believe there was no spoon. ;)

While the last one (news app) and while idle was odd, but as you pointed out it basically get a black screen for a few seconds then the phone is back up, I did not make a fuss. Especially that I did dirty from the Oct version and had no time for a full clean and only thru catching up on this thread did I realize I was actually not alone.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] GypsyJames:
here is what the phone is doing

asks for password which I can now type in correctly. says that data is corrupt and requires factory reset

enters twrp and there is nothing on phone for twrp to use as recovery.

shows 0mb internal storage

Full SELinux support is present

nothing i do gets me anywhere
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
I want to help you but you really have to read what I wrote and follow it. Of course there is nothing that TWRP can use until you've made a backup. Wipe, format, install. It honestly isn't rocket science if you simply read, understand and follow instructions.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
thanks for finally pointing this out, reboots can easily happen unnoticed but they happen and if so many users report the same thing i always thought it a bit disturbing that it's negated.

this does not change the fact that in addition to that there is a compatibility issue with substratum as well.

i had no reboots for 3 days without theme and after installing the themes again i got reboots again.

right now i'm theming app by app to narrow down when it gets worse (frequency of reboots) and will post my findings later (without saying it applies to everyone)

right now it' looks quite stabel without the systemUI and the system themed but many of the apps like phone and contacts etc.

i'll be back once i know which one exactly it is so that perhaps sooner or later it can be taken care of.

very much appreciation again to the user who posted the log which as suspected was very helpful in finding the reason behind. :good::good::good:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Phrodini:
That's why I'm skeptical about installing substratum, it seems to cause some issue with whatever phone and rom I've used
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Hey hi, I believe you are talking about the device trees (device, kernel, vendor) here. I was wondering, why is it happening to only some users on this ROM and none of the users on another ROM (PixelDust) which I build with exact same trees? :confused:

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ivos4:
Ok, testing frank kernel-r76, it shows a lot more fluidity in the system, without draining the battery, apparently makes good convinación with this rom.

Everything works fine for me, except the notification LED that never worked since the installation of the rom. It doesn't affect me much either.

I appreciate the good work done in this project. :good:

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Axel85:
Hey, I have a strange problem too That seems related to the phone part . The rom is perfect and my battery is the original mounted on my nexus 6 , it's not old , phone is refurbished by google , and battery lasts till 4 or 5 % then sometimes shoutdown correctly and sometimes goes totaly down without the right procedure but i think it's the same problem that all we have. Audio throttle around 20% and sot is around 3 hours or 3.5 with an intensive working day of phone calls ecc ... I m on the last radio and had no problem with the signal apart from the one I'm going to explain . The problem is present with or without a modified kernel ( that I have now and I tested to try to solve it). For me this problem started even in resurrection remix 6.0.1 when I switched to iliad mobile italia from vodafone . My business day is full of phone use and many calls with multitasking , chrome , WhatsApp but no games or **** installed . I find the phone almostly only reboot after phone calls or similar events when it's switching from 4g to 3g , it's a pretty slow on switching even when the signals are full ,compared to vodafone and surely is something related to the cheap operator . But there should be something happening in this situation . Sometimes the phone reboot and sometimes as 1 hour ago turns off crashing and not rebooting ( when it's turned on again i got almost the same battery level so should not be degraded). I totally solved every else reboot I had during system use ( two or three in a week) teeaking kernel cpu voltage of 15mV for every frequency

Sorry for the long post but I'm only sharing as many details as possible to try to help , because I'm an hardware technician and I repair smartphones too .

Another detail if it can help, but I'm not sure , is that I called my operator to ask some details about signal problems and they told me that my phone is not sharing to them the model as expected , I had to tell them I have a google Motorola nexus 6 . They told me it's not normal but not a big problem

I can even give you some more details in some days because I ordered an ? "ORIGINAL" ? (Wish is not fake or not so old ) battery for my nexus 6 from Germany . The ebay seller sold 148 of them ... So we'll see
[Nexus 6 Android Development] runekock:
[MENTION=2563184]Axel85[/MENTION]

Sudden power-off is practically always because of a weak battery. The Nexus will do that when it needs a sudden power surge and the battery cannot deliver.

Your other reboot problem, is it a hard or soft reboot? (Hard shows the Google logo and resets uptime). Soft may be the same rom problem that others have noticed. If it is hard, I suggest flashing the last stock rom and see if occurs there.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Axel85:
Sudden power off I think too is related to battery, but it's strange because looks good otherwise. Maybe is well degraded, and the problem is that cannot supply needed current when there is a peak request.

Other reboots I have are present even in this rom stock , than with modified kernel or on other roms and are hard reboot. Soft reboots with this rom for me are solved with kernel voltage tweeking

It could be all battery related , but it's strange because otherwise is almost perfect .Let's see with the new one
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mr. Burns2000:
hi,

i come from purenexus rom and i was wondering if the function long press return to kill the actual app is working with this rom?

maybe it was a launcher setting? i use nova launcher.

thx

No fast charging!!

Could you please add fast charging support to pie ROM I have tried ALL the pie ROMs for Nexus 6 and all have terrible charging. Lineage 15.1 support awesome fast charging. Please Nitin add fast charging to all of ur pie ROMs! And reply for confirmation from u! Otherwise a great ROM!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Johnabis:
I can't find it after searching. does anyone have the link for the latest Nitrogen Oreo build that came out before going to Pie?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bfederspill:
Just thought I'd say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone out there who celebrates it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Axel85:
Right now I'm trying to charge with the original Motorola's fast charger . Another thing that could notice a battery degradation is that I can hear noise on speakers when the battery reach near 50% ,when they start to produce sound. Like the unlocking sound , reproduced as normal but with white noise underground . Aside from those problems battery report good healt and temp .
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fueled:
iam on latest nitrogen pie. and it supports fast charging perfectly. using original motorola fast charger in my office and Tronsmart QC3.0 charger at home.

Still not able to receive calls using LTE/4g on T-Mobile. What can we do to log this or get this fixed?:( On latest build, latest radio etc and works if I change it to 3g
[Nexus 6 Android Development] golpemortal:
I am in the same boat hopefully Natin can resolve and create a fix for T-Mobile Users and I cannot receive phone calls at all on the current and previous build. that was my only issue otherwise ROM is great but unfortunately I had to rollback to 8.1 ROM till the issue is fixed by Natin.:(:(:(:(:(:(

[Nexus 6 Android Development] lchiu7:
I have been using this ROM for about 2 weeks now. So far I am really liking it. It make the phone very snappy and I like some of the Pie enhancements which I will never get in my daily driver which is a Moto Z (Verizon model so the bootloader cannot be unlocked). The only issue so far for me is Face Unlock which always dies. But since I don't really use it, it's no big deal. I am just wondering what camera people are using? I am using an older Google camera which has HDR+ but is a bit slow. Not sure if it's the camera or the hardware. But I use the camera because it has the photosphere setting which I've not seen on any other camera.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Axel85:
I m using the last nx camera that is the last modified Google camera that works on 32 bit 4.2.035 version and it's working great. I have also noticed that after the last google app update phone feels buttery smooth (I receivwd it 1 hours ago) . Anyone noticed it ? Should be possible since also wear os received an update a week ago and now it's fast , in my g watch with ported 2.0 os updated to last 2.17 performance increased about 70% ( from sluggish and stuttering to very very smooth)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] lchiu7:
Yes that's the camera I am using 4.2.035.141213305

It works okay most of the time but occasionally it crashes all the time on startup so I have to restart the phone.

But when it it's working, even with HDR+ On, the camera takes photo pretty quickly.

LTE bands question

I just got back from a trip to Australia with my Nexus 6. I was roaming on Vodafone Australia most of the time. They apparently use the following LTE bands

850MHz (B5)

1800MHz (B3)

21000MHz (B1)

The Nexus 6 supports according to GSMArena

LTE band 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 12(700), 13(700), 17(700), 25(1900), 26(850), 29(700), 41(2500) - XT1103

So I should have connected on B3 and B5

yet at no time that I recall did I see 4G or LTE come up on the network display. Most of the time it was H+. Should I have not seen 4G or LTE in the display. I was in both Melbourne and Sydney in the city areas where LTE is everywhere.

I wonder if this is a ROM Issue or a modem issue? Not a big deal as I won't be going back anytime soon but was curious
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
While it could have been a modem issue, from the description it sounds more like a carrier issue.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
It's definitely not a hardware issue or a rom issue, from my experience and expertise it will be a carrier issue either allowing you to connect on LTE or not.

Proper Gapps

Hi all. Can someone be so kind to confirm me that the link provided by the developer for the adequate Gapps is correct. I am asking this because, I’ve just downloaded the 9.0 pie version of this ROM, but the link provided for the Gapps is ARM64 8.1 Stock. Should I, instead, download the ARM64 9.0 Stock? Thank you very much in advance for your help. ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
[MENTION=5713706]Coolpsi[/MENTION]: Don't download ARM64 at all as it will refuse to install. Download ARM 9.0 Stock.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
Nexus 6 is Arm, not Arm64. Download Opengapps Arm 9.0 Micro and you'll be fine.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] alryder:
You will need to download the ARM version, not ARM64 as the Nexus 6 is not a 64 bit phone. I installed mini on my phone and installed the other applications I wanted from Google from the Play Store. Unfortunately I'm not sure if there is enough space for the higher packages (full, stock and super).
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
https://opengapps.org/

Above link

Don't select or use ARM64 versions you need to use non 64 just choose the plain ARM 9.0 the Stock one will work fine

why Nitrogen V9 ROM is not working for Tmobile US on receiving calls on LTE? will there be a fix?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Cancambo:
I did. Updated to 51R for my radio.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fueled:
my radio is 45R, never updated it. its giving me no problems, but i think there are lots of new updates came out. should i update my baseband version ? will my signal strength be more strong ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] alryder:
My radio is 45R too, from the last general release upgrade in October 2017. There were separate releases that same month for T-Mobile and Verizon with radio version 51R, but I never updated because I am on AT&T. If you are on T-Mobile or Verizon you could give 51R a try and if things are worse you can always flash back to 45R.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Coolpsi:
Hi again. First of all, thank you for yesterdays help. Having said that, after unlocking the bootloader, rooting and installing TWRP in my phone, I tried to install the ROM, however, I am getting this message in TWRP: “E: unknown command [log] Updater process ended with ERROR 7 Error installing zip file (…)”. Do note that I tried with two other ROM’s and the result was the same. I have googled this issue and it seems that I must change some updater script. As I was not totally satisfied with the information that I found, I am once again requesting your kind help. Thank you in adavance to those who can spare some of their time to address this matter. :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
TWRP 3.2.3.0?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Coolpsi:
No, It seems that I installed an older version (3.0.2-0). Could it be the problem?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
Yes. I don't have the reference, and I have an appalling memory, but I seem to remember that earlier versions of TWRP struggle while the newest version works perfectly.

https://dl.twrp.me/shamu/
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Coolpsi:
You were right, I am now flashing the ROM, without the previous error. Many thanks.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Coolpsi:
Hello again! I have another problem. :-/ It seems that I didn’t realize that the phone is encrypted by default and, for that reason, even after noting, in the initial the instructions, that the phone should be decrypted, I wrongly assumed that it wasn’t. My bad! Now, after flashing the ROM and rebooting, the system asks for a password. Obviously, I have no password! If I insert a random password, I get a message saying the password is correct but the phone is encrypted bla bla bla, and then it go back to TWRP. I have tried to restore an image backup, that I did previously, without success. Shortly, it seems, for now, I am stocked! :eek:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
now you decrypt the device and all will be well, just do it, anything else won't lead anywhere and there is nothing else you have to do because decrypting wipes/formats everything.

there very nice tutorials on xda about how to decrypt, just use the search feature on XDY as well as google search and choose the tool that suits your understanding best.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
Ha! Just as well the Nexus is difficult to brick, right? :)

I hope you had no data that you didn't back up? Boot back into TWRP. Wipe/Format (not just wipe) Data - this decrypts your data partition, which is where you're currently having the problem. If TWRP doesn't cooperate, as it has done with me a few times, the alternative is to "fastboot format userdata" from your computer - it achieves the same result.

Once done, you can start with the ROM installation again from the beginning.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Coolpsi:
Thank you! Considering your answer, I suppose it is possible to decrypt the phone from TWRP recovery mode, because I'm stocked there.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
Again Ha! The joys of cross-posting... :)

(P.S. In case you missed it, my cross post is directly above yours).
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Phrodini:
Yep.dahawt has the steps above
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
i think it has been answered, easy as that while i still recommend to read up a bit about encryption/decryption, just to make sure it's understood and you won't accidentally fall back into encrypted mode, for example by flashing factory images to get radios right or whatever.

good luck

:highfive:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Coolpsi:
Here I go again… As suggested, I used TWRP to format data (in the inserted image it is possible to see the final message I got) and, as expected, it seems to have wiped everything in the phone. After that, I connected the phone to a pc in order to copy the ROM again to the phone and then installed it. However, the pc recognizes the phone but I am unable to copy the ROM to the internal storage. Having said that, I am still stocked! :o
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
Definitely not your day... :)

You should be able to copy directly to your phone while it's in TWRP. I know this because I did it just the other day.

Failing that, if you boot to bootloader (edit: hmm... maybe not bootloader, since that uses fastboot - try just connecting the phone to the computer if it doesn't work in bootloader) you can push the files to your phone. The command is:

adb push filename /sdcard/ (e.g. adb push radio.zip /sdcard/).

Have each file in the same folder as your adb/fastboot files for this to work.

Once the files are there, you can start the TWRP installation again.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Coolpsi:
Indeed, it is not my day and, the "best" part is that I am trying to help a friend with is phone. I hade a Nexus 6, but it was a few years ago.

Anyway, “Dahawthorne”, thank you! :highfive:

I must say that, right now, I feel somehow like a moron. ;) First, It was not possible to copy the ROM from the PC to the phone. The PC recognize the Phone, but when I open it, I get seven icons (like harddrive icons) and it is not possible to copy the file. When you suggested to boot to the bootloader, here is what I did from the TWRP menu: I selected Reboot, then Bootloader. After that I got the usual “black screen” with various options (e.g. restart bootloader; recovery mode; power off etc.) that we can select with the physical buttons. Where am I supposed to use the command you suggested? Besides that, confirm me that your example is just an example, because I suppose I have to push the ROM files from my pc hard drive and not from an SD card.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
Ok, start with TWRP. You have the main screen with the 8(?) buttons on it. Connect the phone to your PC via USB. Your PC should show it and you should(!) be able to drag-and-drop your files to the phone's internal storage. From there it's a straightforward "Install" via the TWRP button.

Come back to me if that doesn't work. I mentioned the "adb push" only as an alternative if the PC-to-phone copy doesn't work while you're in TWRP.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Coolpsi:
Ok, “Dahawthorne”, I have restarted my pc and phone (just in case) and, the result is the same, when I try to copy the ROM image to the internal storage (this time I didn’t get the seven small icons), I got the usual windows progression box saying that the file is being transferred but, nothing really happens. After a while, a message comes up saying the internal storage is not responding.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
And your phone is in TWRP? I tried this a few minutes ago and it was ok, though there may be differences between my fully-functional phone and your "naked" one. I know that something (not sure if it's Windows or Android) doesn't like copying to the sdcard root but is ok with copying to a directory.

Try adb then. I just connected my phone to my laptop via USB to check this and it works - well, it responds to adb commands anyway.

I don't know your level of expertise, so forgive me if I appear patronising by giving too much detail. I'm assuming you're using Windows and have adb & fastboot in a directory on your PC, and you've copied the ROM, Gapps & Magisk (if you want root) to that folder. For simplicity I suggest renaming them to something simple - e.g. rom.zip, gapps.zip, magisk.zip.

Windows Start button, type cmd in the run box. In the CMD window navigate to your adb folder - I get to my E drive folder (E:\ADB) by typing E: (enter) cd adb (enter). Once there, with your phone connected to the PC via USB, check that the PC & phone can see each other by typing adb devices (enter). If you get a string of characters and the word "device" (e.g. BDHE5YDN device), then you're connected ok.

Now for each file push it to the phone - adb push rom.zip /sdcard/ etc.

Once they're copied, boot into TWRP again and install them.

I take it you've tried different USB cables and sockets to exclude the possibility of faulty hardware...?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hbenz2008:
Didn't follow all your posts but my question to you : did you format not Wipe your n6? An incorrect move may render storage corrupted. So format all.

Again it is different than wipe.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Coolpsi:
First of all, don’t worry about patronizing me, as you can imagine, I am a basic user. ? Having said that, I just realized that I could try to install The ROM using Nexus Root Tool Kit. There is an option to install ZIP files and everything is automated. What do you think?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
Toolkits are frowned upon here, I think unreasonably, since I used Wugfresh Nexus Toolkit a lot a few years ago and donated several times because it was so good. Yes, sure, go for it. The goal is to get a working device, and if you're doing it for a friend then you may as well use anything that gets the job done. Oh, be sure to avoid encryption - I think there's an option for that.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Toolkits are frowned upon if you don't know what you're doing. The main reason is that they tend to hide output which can help on troubleshooting. If you know what you're doing or you're at the point where you have nothing left to lose, use them.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
I think that's where we are... :)
