Unfortunately you cant :/
Download TiBu that is the closest you can get...
If you download a custom rom that keeps it up to date, they will probably include the update and you can just flash over it. but stock rom there isnt much u can do.

Download the Google factory image for the 6p. Use fastboot to manually flash the system.img, boot.IMG, and recovery.IMG. take the ota then reroot.

Trying to undo the last steps by flashing back the modified boot.img and TWRP.
Booting into TWRP and it asks for a password to decrypt storage!!!
Is wiping the only option??
I followed the guide religiously. What went wrong?

I followed the guide (part 10. How To Take An OTA Update If You Have Root).
Then after rebooting (before installing the OTA that is) I got a message saying encryption unsuccessful and I needed to wipe my phone. I turned it off instead and tried to restore it as it was before. Screw the OTA, I just need my phone back. I flashed back boot and recovery, is system.img or vendor.img the culprit?
Any ideas? Do I need to wipe data?

I really don't know what went wrong here, other people have done this with no issues. In TWRP it should be able to decrypt as long as you enter the password/pin.

I had a screen lock pattern, I entered the numbers that correspond to it (from what I read somewhere else, like a num keypad), no joy.
But then again, shouldn't actual booting into the system work as well? Why give this error msg?
I'm going to format then...
unless your super comfortable with ADB and fastboot, flashing things through them is never a good idea, you will screw up allot of the time. its always easier for the average user to wait for a ota zip and flash that. Or never root and accept otas.
Im not saying never use adb, just dont use it when its super important to keep your data

The only problem with that is even when an OTA zip is available you'd need to use fastboot to flash system etc to remove root anyway.
So I formatted, then set it up, then tried restoring my latest nandroid backup and now it doesn't recognise the pattern lock!

Thanks for that, although at first after reading the first few posts I thought there was no solution, luckily I kept reading until here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63797741&postcount=34
I did that and it worked! so at least I got back my working phone. Back to square one (almost, I lost all my local copies of photos, with only cloud backup for the last 2 weeks or so) with no OTA installed. I may try it again at some other point or wait for a more safe method.

Hi Guys!!
This is emergency!! I was trying to install recovery . I was successful in flashing recovery through the Nexus 4 Toolkit. After a while non of the networks are connecting. Wifi dosen't even startup, no mobile network! Please HELP!!
Thanks
In settings, does it display an imei number or is it 0's/garbage?
Maybe you need to input your apn settings for your carrier again? I know one of the tool kits I used had an option to backup apn settings probably for this exact reason. Try rebooting your phone also.

Did you make a backup of your efs folder? Or any backups? What you have is a missing imei number.
Ship it to me and I'll fix it for you.
Did you try flash the AOSP image from Google's website?

What you did and don't realize is that you had to unlock the bootloader to root and install a custom recovery and by doing that you wiped your phones data, all of it. Unlocking the bootloader puts the phone back into the state when you first received it and it has to be setup all over again.
Flashing the stock image will also take you back to a state where the phone was when you first received it and you will have to set it up again.
I'm not absolutely sure you need to do that or just set the phone up again like you did when you first got it. If you can't get it working again then reflash the stock image and restart from there. To do it with the toolkit you have to download it manually then place it into the folder in the toolkit directory for flashing files. The toolkit should have instructions on how to do this.
Unfortunately at this point anything you had stored on the phone is gone for good.

Dude i had already unlocked the boot loader. Now i am in the Start screen and the Lock Status Says : Unlocked. Luckily my Nexus is jus 1 day old and am yet to load stuff! So not much to bother about loosing data on the storage. I am downloading this : Factory Images "occam" for Nexus 4 - https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images i hope it is correct!! Thanks
Edit:
Re flashing the factory image fixed my problem. Thanks a lot guys.
Android 4.3, automatic & customizable mapping of Shield controls to touchscreen controls, 60fps PC streaming, 1080p HDMI output, and more!
Already updated and can't find release notes online, so unfortunately I can't write them, but suffice to say you need to update NOW.
Does appear to remove root, but that shouldn't be too difficult to rectify.

Neither. I just did a straight update. My Android familiarity is limited and I'm lazy. I figure it will be easy enough to re-root.
I keep getting a signature error during the update install, I've even done a full wipe and then updated again and the same thing. I can't get it installed.
I do have an unlocked bootloader, but that shouldn't keep me from updating =/ Would it be possible for someone to post the update zip?

If you are rooted and have removed any apps it would keep you from upgrading.
The new update is awesome, get it as soon as you can. I have moved all my games to the SD and have all the internal storage space back and the console mode is great with my moga pro.

Yeah has nothing to do with the bootloader... are you running a custom recovery? I'm not and mine worked. I was rooted and unlocked. Lost root, of course... but not sure I even need it now since full games can be moved and with the improved gamepad support.

Yep, clockwork recovery. I guess I'll have to flash a stock recovery image.

Flash back to the original recovery first. You should be able to fastboot flash CWM after the OTA and get root back.

My apologies. I assumed it was to be done via some backup made during cwm install.
I flashed factory recovery but now when I boot into android (still 4.2.1) and do a "check updates" it says I am up to date. Is there some cache or settings I have to clear for it to recognize that the previous attempt failed so it will allow me to re-download and update again?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I have an unlocked bootloader and d/l the factory image for 5.1. I extracted the .img files and flashed them with fastboot. Also flashed twrp 2.8.5.1 and supersu 2.46.zip to get root. Everything is working very well and is much snappier than 5.02. You probably have changed something in the /system folder. Flashing the system.img will overwrite whatever is messing up the update.

Since 2 days my grouper wlan is showing the notification that the system update android 5.1 is available.
I never did a ota update. I always used a flashable zip via custom recovery. The groupers bootloader is unlocked, rooted, a custom kernel and custom recovery installed. Can I do the update or must I undo all?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Free mobile app
Thanks for the info on the new OTA.
My N7, grouper, has always been stock, except for being unlocked/rooted. I've always taken the OTAs in the past just fine. Clearly I don't know about this one.
Based on that history, my guess is that, at the very least, you're going to need to flash the stock kernel and recovery to take this one. Time will tell...

Hey guys, i received my nexus 6p a few days ago, and i am loving it. All my previous phones were samsung's so i always rooted them within a week of receiving them. now i am thinking about rooting the nexus 6p using This method.
The only thing holding me back is OTA updates. I really just want to be able to customize some things and still receive the updates. Step 9 in that tutorial shows exactly how to get the OTA updates. The only thing i am worried about is if i use xposed modules. And i then use that method of updating, will it screw up my xposed modules's settings? in particular GravityBox?
I also have another question, when updating using the update list on google dev, it seems like you can not skip 1 update right? you have to pick the one after your current one and then the next etcetera?
Help is greatly appreciated!

That section of my guide doesn't explain how to take adb an OTA, you can't take an OTA if you're rooted or modified in any way. It explains how to flash the factory images in order to update. This will overwrite your system partition which will remove root and any mods that you have, you'd also need to wipe data in TWRP before flashing the images, unfortunately there's no way around this, you need to flash SuperSU and your mods again afterwards. But, you could make a Titanium backup of GB beforehand and just restore the data for the app after you've flashed it again.

Is there any tutorial on how to do this the best way? And i assume that mods i do with xposed will be wiped? Thanks for the reply

Yes, but you mentioned in a reply above that I would have to delete all data using TWRP, but the other person said he updated before without losing any data, that's what I was trying to figure out.
I do realize that any mods I will use with xposed will be deleted, but apps and such not. and do you think it's smart to delete xposed modules before flashing an update? or does it not matter because it will overwrite what I did anyway?

Flashing the images will overwrite so there's no need to remove the mods first. It's the residual data that can because problems. Try flashing the images without wiping data, if it works then good, but if you end up in a boot loop you'll need to wipe.

Thanks for the info, I think I'm going to root and install xposed etc. Over the weekend, when the next ota update is released, I will try it and report back here if it worked smoothly.
