Just purchased a 6P. Haven't set it up yet, waiting for case and screen protector.

I plan on enrolling in the 7.1 beta right away but I want to make sure I do some preventative things before I set it up just in case anything goes wrong.

I have seen that there might be the potential to boot loop and that having an unlocked bootloader is key for flashing anything to try and fix it. Should bootloader be unlocked before or after installing the beta?

What other settings or things should be done just in case things don't go 100%?

After coming from a OnePlus One running Sultan's Rom I would like to go back to the stock Nexus experience.
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
Just use the "Get Assistant" app from the Play Store, worked fine for me.
[Nexus 6P General] cjwaggsrx8:
That worked perfect.. Thanks man...[emoji106] [emoji117] [emoji108]
[Nexus 6P General] ViperXvenom8888:
If you're going to enroll through the OTA Beta, no need to unlock bootloader, if you're going to flash the Android beta, you'll have to unlock bootloader, and follow the instructions on Google's website. Make sure to lock the bootloader before setting up your device if you're not going to flash TWRP :D
[Nexus 6P General] Milly7:
I wouldn't advise to ever lock the bootloader unless you absolutely have to after unlocking it.
[Nexus 6P General] ViperXvenom8888:
Got Pokemon Go working while rooted!!! Opened SuperSU, chose full unroot, get back stock image, don't get back stock recovery, flashed Magisk V8, flashed phh SuperSU, installed phh SuperSU from Google Play Store, installed Magisk Manager V2.1, Enabled Magisk Hide, Logged into Pokemon Go, all good! :D
[Nexus 6P General] jadajada:
Hi!

I am coming from Samsung and I am new to the way the Nexus is unlocked and rooted. I am currently on offcial 7.0, but I want to enroll in the beta to get the 7.1.1 preview. I have unlocked my bootloader and flashed twrp. Not rooted yet. Can I enroll in OTA beta with this setup? If so, will I have to reflash twrp or will it survive the ota-upgrade?
[Nexus 6P General] ChristoforoI:
The reason I was bringing up the bootloader is that I have seen a couple people get stuck with a locked bootloader and a phone that is misbehaving and now have no way of fastboot flashing solutions.

I don't want to get stuck with a brick if anything goes wrong. I see that it kills Android pay but I live in Canada and don't use it.

Even though I see people saying it is pretty good 7.1 is still a beta and anything can happen.
[Nexus 6P General] sharky481232:
I've literally wiped everything on my phone at least a dozen times and flashed factory images for 7.1.1 using bootloader everytime.
[Nexus 6P General] ChristoforoI:
So I just read about the enable OEM unlock in the developer options. If i wanted to enroll in the beta, download and install the OTA for the beta, then select that option would i be ok without unlocking the bootloader. If anything happened i would be able to unlock the bootlaoder at a later time if that is enabled and if required correct.
[Nexus 6P General] dewankpant:
Is there any custom kernel that can be flashed on 7.1 preview for high brightness mode and rgb correction? Franco and ex kernel aren't updated yet, i guess.
[Nexus 6P General] pbsec:
Not yet.
[Nexus 6P General] dewankpant:
I'm not quiet sure if i understood your question correctly or not, but anyway there is no need to unlock the bootloader if you just wanna be part of beta ota program. You can install that directly, there is no need to unlock bootloader for that.

You'll get auto beta updates just by registering here

https://www.google.com/android/beta
[Nexus 6P General] ChristoforoI:
I understand.

My question is.

1. If I enroll and OTA update to the 7.1 beta and something were to go wrong what do I need done previously to have a chance of fixing it easily.

2. Complete unlocked bootloader

Or

3. Just enabling OEM unlock in developer options.

This is coming from me reading about people who experienced bootloops while trying the 7.1 beta.

Don't want to turn my new 6P into a brick.

I hope this is clearer and actually makes some sense.
[Nexus 6P General] dewankpant:
Yeah that does make the question much clear, well in that case all you gotta do is enable the usb debugging and oem unlock option in developer options. And don't worry about bootloops, 7.1 preview is pretty stable, i had 7.0 rooted with custom kernel and recovery and just dirty flashed 7.1 over it still it works perfect and all root features are working well too. Just to be on a safer side you can backup your data.
[Nexus 6P General] ChristoforoI:
Perfect thanks.

Using wug tool kit can I flash this zip?
[Nexus 6P General] mobileman88:
Hi. I can't seem to locate this although I have been following this thread since day 1. I am on 7.1.1 and the Google app is 6.7.17.21,not sure how i might be able to turn on Google assistant. Thanks
[Nexus 6P General] mickyw1980:
Have you edited the build prop as per instructions?
[Nexus 6P General] KyriaZ:
i flashed arise and sr1 super su which file should i rename to make it work bro ?
[Nexus 6P General] mobileman88:
I tried by installing the Magisk Google assistant module. Trying not to directly modify system so that I don't break safety net
[Nexus 6P General] AreOh:
The Android Pay bug that's not allowing me to use it claiming I need to unroot is kind of annoying. I went fully stock once Chase bank was available to be able to use it without issues. Hope this is fixed soon. Thought it was with a recent update to the app, but tried it today and nope.
[Nexus 6P General] Veidas:
Did you also relock your bootloader?
[Nexus 6P General] AreOh:
No.
[Nexus 6P General] Veidas:
There you go then, thats your problem. Latest update made that it checks if your bootloader is unlocked. Either lock it, or use custom kernel with patches to hide it.
[Nexus 6P General] AreOh:
Now I feel like I should have kept the root. Does that hide that it's rooted as well?
[Nexus 6P General] Veidas:
Nope dont think so
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
Still having issues with texts being delayed by sometimes hours. I'm on US Cellular, and have clean flashed the actual factory image twice.

Is it more likely to be USCC, or would it be 7.1.1, Google messenger, or maybe the radio? I've never used Google messenger before, so I don't know if I can trust it.
[Nexus 6P General] sharky481232:
my texts have been working fine, I've used google messenger since it came out and 7.1.1 for a few days now.
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
My friend that went with us to a Halloween party on Saturday, got a text I sent her at 3pm, at 12am. That's quite a delay. The others have only been 45-90 mins late.
[Nexus 6P General] AreOh:
I've never used a custom kernel or wanted to try so I know nothing about them, and I'm not totally sold on the idea of locking my bootloader. I don't want to lock it and go back to waiting for Google to push OTA's. Why did they have to go and mess with a good thing.
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
Your signature says you're using a Pixel XL?!
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
Oh yeah, I keep forgetting to change that back to Nexus 6P. Lol. That was to try Google assistant, but changing the name is the device isn't necessary for it. You only need to add the one additional lines to the build prop.
[Nexus 6P General] mobileman88:
Will need to modify the system partition for that right?
[Nexus 6P General] pospower:
I flash OTA

https://developer.android.com/preview/download-ota.html#top

angler-ota-npf10c-2d83b3f4.zip

I then set up my phone added pixel launcher. Google assist

Oh rooted using wug.

Then I flashed custom kernel

Electron-Release-3.zip

All is well.
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
You just modify the build prop. Are you rooted? What is your Android knowledge? You'd want to be rooted and have TWRP.
[Nexus 6P General] ilyassnexus:
Is there a way to improve ram management?! More opened apps and such ?!
[Nexus 6P General] mobileman88:
I am rooted but I have system set to read only. Trying not to tamper with the system partition so that I can still take OTA is what I meant. Jeez
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
No, I was genuinely asking do that I didn't talk over your head lol. I didn't want to assume you are familiar with root, and ROMs and mods etc. if you're not. There are several people in this thread that are bone stock and don't know how to do any of those. I wasn't implying anything. As far as I know, I'll still be able to take am OTA when one is available. I'll at least be notified I think. Then I'll either download the OTA or the image file and do it myself.
[Nexus 6P General] ariefabuzaky:
Your wifi hotspot is not error ?
[Nexus 6P General] Veidas:
Because its the same as with root, with unlocked bootloader your security is compromised, ofcourse google doesnt wanna risk your money and their reputation allowing users to use pay with such system modifications. Completely logical move by google if you ask me
[Nexus 6P General] Sigray:
Still better than any other aosp.

I am running this for 10 days now. It has been rooted and added pixel xl stuff. Since yesterday, i have had 8_9 random reboots. The screen freezes and when i hold power button it reboots. No new app is installed. It was workings great before that. Any idea?
[Nexus 6P General] Upstreammiami:
Where is preview 2 lol
[Nexus 6P General] Badger50:
The Pixel stuff maybe? Been running the same thing without any pixel stuff, with root and V4A. No reboots to speak of here.
[Nexus 6P General] Hussainally:
No matter what I try i keep getting the max near to 4 hours sot ...getting very frustrated with my 6p
[Nexus 6P General] angle409:
I just had a scare. My phone froze in the middle of use. no response whatsoever and had a constant buzzing sound. I thought it's gonna explode. I had to press power button for 10 sec to turn it off and on. Now I decided to go back to 6.0.1. Won't install 7.x until it's really mature.
[Nexus 6P General] Snow_ball:
I'm on the 7.1.1 preview with the Google assistant mod only. Been good so far but just now the phone just shut down. Battery at 40‰. Powered up just fine but I don't really like it switching off by itself.
[Nexus 6P General] ol@fson:
It's called a *developer preview* for a reason ;)
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
That's fairly normal for the 6P.

Hello guys, finally update yesterday flashing the OTA, supersu 3.78, and the Twrp IMG just in case.. pretty much everything working, only real problem is, yes the fingerprint is a litlle but slower, and WhatsApp notification in nougat sucks so much.. but that's WhatsApp could according to what I read.

My problem is that apparently I can't get on the system UI tunner.. gosh I pressed the icon like for 30 - 5 - 10 even more secs and still nothing, I can't get the grid to spin.. is that normal on this dev preview?
[Nexus 6P General] manup456:
No it works just fine, I activated on the first try have you restarted and tried again?
[Nexus 6P General] daimerion:
Here's a strange one. I just got notified for an update. Same version number???? It's downloading now...i'll report back

**Edit** File size = 1263.5

**Edit The Sequel** Downloaded then told me my system was up to date. I would say a bug or something in the update system. Or, a long shot theory, Google pushed an update without changing build numbers and perhaps when it compared after downloading it thought it already had it....idk, oh well
[Nexus 6P General] manup456:
Has anyone found or know of way to get past safety net yet?
[Nexus 6P General] angle409:
I moved back to MM 6.0.1 and installed gravitybox. GravityBox is amazing, has so much more functionalities than 7.1.1 DP (except the dual windows which I don't use much). for example, new gravitybox version added fingerprint launcher - feature that google has yet to add.
[Nexus 6P General] istperson:
You should close the bootloader. Ir wait for the kernel source a little bit.
[Nexus 6P General] manup456:
I know if I lock the bootloader it works, but we always have a work and was asking if anyone has done it yet.
[Nexus 6P General] istperson:
They've alread did it for 7.0, the moment the 7.1 kernel sorce comes out, there will be.

Yeah I know Franco kernel already has it for 7.0 and I'm running it now on 7.1 but the sultan patch does not work.

Getting a few bugs with Google Photos. My local photos won't always display when I have network problems or if I go in airplane mode. I also have some truncated albums (album is fine when seen from another device). Also photos are not properly sorted. Even if I select the order from the menu, it's lost if I quit and come back.
[Nexus 6P General] Pig Vomit:
I know about all the extras that the Pixel gets with 7.1 and that many of them can be used with some tinkering on the 6P, but can anybody out there tell me if the *stock* DP 7.1 for the 6P has any practical advantages over stock 7.0? Is there much, if any, difference?
[Nexus 6P General] mickyw1980:
I think the DP 7.1 is much smoother. I've been running it since release. I must admit the battery life is a bit less than 7.0. But I'm loving the DP7.1
[Nexus 6P General] istperson:
To me and a lot of people here the battery is way better on 7.1 than on 7.0.
[Nexus 6P General] rchtk:
A Google search brings this http://www.techugly.com/2016/10/android-711-developer-preview-is-now.html

Also several people reported better battery. Others worse.

Quicker than searching Google and getting subjective answers, try.. that's probably 10mn to upgrade and 10mn to revert.
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
7.1.1 is what 7.0 shouldve been. 7.0 feels like the 7.1.1 beta. Smoother, better battery life and slightly updated UI.

[Nexus 6P General] italbomber:
I can say I updated to the DP 7.1.1 A Couple days ago and to me there is a definite improvement all around. My battery life is better, it feels smoother and snappier as well. I gave it to days to settle in. I took the update and then backed up my data. Factory reset and just imported the data I wanted from my backup and away I went. Hope the info helps.

[Nexus 6P General] hmillos:
You know guys, it has been almost a month with 7.1.1 and I really like the stock Android Experience (Should I say Pixel experience?), but the only thing that I really hate about android is the Media/Ringer Volume control, by the default you control ringer volume unless you're playing a video/song, but I find it really annoying because with the trolls in internet, you don't know what's going to play, I really hate when I want to lower media volumen but instead I end up setting my phone in Do not disturb mode (I always have my phone in silence+vibration). Anyway, do you know any mod to force volume rocker media volume control instead of ringer volume?
[Nexus 6P General] dratsablive:
When you adjust the volume there is a drop down that you can change the media volume from.
[Nexus 6P General] hmillos:
I'm aware of that, but since I never change my ringer volume I would prefer these buttons control media volume always.
[Nexus 6P General] ps000000:
After I tried several 7.1.1 , 7.1 , 7.0 ROMs then I alway came back to 6.0.1 custom ROMs.:cool::cool::cool:
[Nexus 6P General] gmac1990:
Why?
[Nexus 6P General] hmillos:
You're comparing incomplete and still to-be-developed and polished ROMs with a ROM that is pretty much stable and complete, with no further developement, maybe in a couple of months you will leave 6.0.1 to never get back.
[Nexus 6P General] ilyassnexus:
Any news on porting the pixel 2.0 stabilization to 2015 nexus phones?!
[Nexus 6P General] angle409:
same here. ATM, MM is just better than 7.x. I don't install custom roms though. Stock rooted is the best.
[Nexus 6P General] TheIgster:
Can't find anything searching, but has anyone noticed with the 7.1.1 beta the dialer changed? I can't remember if I loaded the dialier from the Pixel or not (can't seem to find it on the site here now), but an incoming call now just has a reject and an answer button as opposed to the bouncing contact image that you could swipe up to answer a call with. I liked that better. Just these two buttons seems to be a step back.

The last beta that I received OTA as well I think is still one version behind (NPF10C), but I have not received any other OTA's to date.
[Nexus 6P General] AreOh:
Someone said that it happens that way when you have accessibility turned on one of your apps. If you go to your settings and turn it off then the swipe option comes back.
[Nexus 6P General] TheIgster:
Hmmm....Not sure I know what you mean and where to find that. I'm assuming under Settings/Apps, but then what am I looking for?

Edit: nm...Think I found it. I had installed fingerprint quick action to enable gestures for the fingerprint button and I see under Accessibility that it was turned on there. Perhaps that was the app causing the difference? I've uninstalled it since I don't really use the gestures anyway, so we'll see what happens. Thanks.

Yep. Same here. Xposed plays a big part of that tho.
