Searched all over XDA, could not find one. The only one which is there is of an October build. Anyone has the flashable of the latest build including the January security fixes?

Just download the factory image and use fastboot to flash the update.

That is one thing that can be done, but I like keeping a backup zip in case something goes wrong. So you have it? Or know anyone who has it?

If you use the flash all script. Otherwise you can pick and choose what images you want to use.
I read that you can use the flash-all script without it deleting all your data. Just open the script with a text editor and remove "-w" from the last line. I personally did NOT do that, its just something I've read here on XDA. I followed Heisenberg's guide, step 10, to a T and everything went well. Remember you will have to reflash recovery and SuperSU again if you want those back.

Sorry guys, I have been out of the loop with the Nexus 6p. I'm slightly new to the device. I am currently on MMB29M stock and rooted. I want to flash MMB29P, but I do no have a computer with a working adb. Where can I find a zip for stock MMB29P? Can I simply flash the new build with TWRP or does it have to be done with faceted images through adb? Also do I need to flash a vendor image.
Thanks in advance
Also is there a way I can update without having to wipe data?
Is there any real point for this update and will these "security updates" be happening each month?

Yes. Vendor partition contains proprietary files that are necessary for the phone to function properly. Match the vendor to your rom's base.

Depends on whether you care for security updates. Yes, each month.

Thank you I believe this is what I'm looking for
I have a rooted 6P running the stock rom on the February security update with a bunch of Xposed modules and the Franco kernel. I know I won't get OTAs this way. Can I just flash the March security patch (MMB29V) and do nothing else? Or do I have to wipe data or factory reset? Do I have to do anything with the Franco kernel?
For the future, what would I need to do to flash Android N when it comes out on my rooted phone? Thanks a bunch!

Most likely you cannot. An OTA update will do a check on your system and see that you have modified things and terminate install. You can leave your data alone but you will have to flash your boot and system partitions with the factory image

I know OTA updates are impossible, so I plan to flash the factory image from the Google developers website via fastboot. Does that change anything?

Don't flash the entire factory image or you will lose data. / only the boot and system images to their respective partitions. Once you complete that you can Flash the OTA update zip file and you will still have your data you can extract the boot and system images from the main factory image you download from Google using WinRAR

It's easier to just flash all of the images (except userdata) top to update, rather than flashing two and then messing around with OTA.
So is there anyway to flash the update without losing my data/apps??
Thanks!

i used fastboot to install march update on my nexus 6p but now when trying to install twrp through fastboot it during writing it says permission denied. why is this?

Not at all a good idea @Heisenberg, as I just experienced. We were talking about keeping the apps and system as it was. Just wiped data and got an hardreset.
Clear cache only.

Surely you were aware that wiping data was going to remove your apps? So all you needed to do was back them up first and restore them after you flashed. Apologies if I should have made that clear in my previous posts.
No problem. It was my stupid mistake.:good:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-angler-angler-02.45.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
sleep 5
fastboot flash radio radio-angler-angler-02.50.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
sleep 5
fastboot update image-angler-mmb29v.zip
Normally in the last line there is an option "-w" this wipes the data.
Don't do that and modify the script so the option is gone, like I did.
Uh, my phone just downloaded a system update of some sort, but I haven't installed it. Is this supposed to happen on a phone that's rooted and on the stock ROM? Can I install it safely or should I still flash the factory image instead?
And @Heisenberg, in your guide do you type in all the fastboot commands at once or do you do it line by line? Thanks again, your guide is super useful for rooting noobs like me :thumbup:

Don't install it, it'll fail, you must flash the factory images. Each command is entered individually (press enter key to send the command), wait for flash to finish then enter the next command.

I'm rooted, TWRP, unlocked and stock. how do i take the newest update without wiping data? do i just let the phone go for it? and what's this about vendor stuff? my old device needed one zip and one zip only to update as root

FlashFire.
If you want to flash an OTA update, you have to return to stock. Download Google's factory image, extract the boot. system. and Recovery images from the image and Flash those leaving your data alone. You are now back to stock and can let the OTA install normally

No, you don't have to format userdata when updating. He put that in there because people may want to flash all of the images including the userdata.img, which you shouldn't ever do. If you happen to want to wipe everything while updating (who knows), that is how you would do it.

Section 9 makes no mention of wiping userdata as part of the process. That section at the bottom only serves as a warning not to flash the userdata.img, and that if the user wishes to wipe they can use the format command instead.

meh it seemed like it did, i dont want bricks so jsut doublechecking
So I flashed the 7.1.1 update and everything was fine. I then tried to root through TWRP with the most recent version of recovery and and SuperSu and when I went to reboot it would get to the "Google" splash screen and go back to the warning. I then tried to restore to my Nandroid that I made right before the 7.1.1 flash but it does the same thing. I ended up doing a factory reset, still looping. I tried flashing an old firmware but it still would loop. I got desperate and did a full wipe and then flashed the old firmware from September's update but it still will not boot. I'm a long time lurker I just don't post much. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Well if you cant access twrp then your not flashing anything; did you try downloading the latest Nexus 6p factory image and using adb to flash it?? If you need help with that I can lay it out for you. Also there was an efs partition issue with twrp 3.0.2-1 and down so make sure your twrp is 3.0.2-2!

Make sure your using twrp 3.0.2-2; and download the latest factory image for the Nexus 6p (NBD90X) and use adb (fastboot) to flash that whole thing. Extract the files to your android sdk platform tools folder then run the flash-all.bat file. (If you are using a 64gb or 128gb device DONT DO THIS) Only do this with the 32gb model.

Newest image didn't work either..
Have you tried WugFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit? Not sure if it will work for your situation, but it has an option to restore to factory settings and unroot if you're soft-bricked or bootlooped. Might be worth a shot if everything else isn't working.
FWIW, I successfully updated to 7.1.1 NPF10C and rooted by using fastboot to flash bootloader, radio, boot, system, and vendor. Then used TWRP 3.0.2-2 to flash SuperSU 2.78 SR1. No issues.
