Long story short, I messed up and soft bricked my OG Shield, and I need someone to upload the OEM Image files.
I would also like it if someone would provide download links to a semi stable version of TWRP and a SuperSU binary for 6.0.

same. got this after flashing supersu
FIXED!!! Found a download link to the update.zip burried in some other forum. Now I just need someone to provide a link to a working SuperSU and xposed framework for OG ST
I had the same problem, I got out of bootloop by flashing the 4.0 update and SuperSU in two steps:
1st flash update zip, clear caches and reboot
2nd flash SuperSU 2.67 and reboot
Of course you will need the experimental twrp for marshmallow
Hope it works for you like it did for me.
Good luck!

No. I flashed the file through twrp unstable. I didn't flash twrp as recovery, but you can use this to boot twrp without flashing and it still works fine:
Code:
fastboot boot <twrp recovery for shield>.img
Here is the link for the TWRP Recovery. It's a little bit unstable, but it still works ok-ish. UI is REALLY glitchy, that's why I didn't flash, but core functionality is still there.

Thankyou very much. Appreciate the reply. Unfortunately mine hangs on the booting downloaded image. Still got my spare Shield to use for now. I will have to wait for the release of the factory image. Hopefully wont take forever. Cheers

There are two methods to root Android N .
Method 1
Flash the Supersu.zip from custom recovery.
RC-SuperSU-v2.69-20160313161431.zip
Method 2
This method will work without custom recovery , just download it and go the fastboot and follow the steps .
CF-Auto-Root-bullhead-bullhead-nexus5x-NPC56P.zip
Just download the file
Extract it
reboot your Nexus 5X into bootloader
Now open the root-windows(If you are using windows otherwise select the file which is for your operating system)
Now the command window will open and ask you to enter any key to continue
Then press any key from your keyboard and it will automatically done the remaining process and your phone will reboot
If you device got bootloop then poweroff the device once and power on manually
Thats it you will see the SuperSu icon .
If you like hit the thanks ......
how do you get access to the files on your phone to flash this. I have twrp flashed but it wont get access to any files that are actually on phone so I can not flash SUPSERSU?

Thanks autoroot worked. Also format userdata then flash twrp then flash SuperSU works but after a reboot I'm back to stock recovery again. Do we need a modified boot.img?
Edit:: OK I managed to get twrp to stick but I need password to decrypt data. Tried formatting userdata but stock recovery is back after a reboot

Yes, I did. First, your phone must be decrypted. TWRP cannot be flashed on encrypted Android N.

I read online that you need to decrypt but how would I do that?

You will first need to disable forced encryption, and then decrypt the 6P running Android N Dev Preview: http://www.droidorigin.com/decrypt-nexus-6p/

Dont know if you fixed the issue but i posted on another thread my experience and found that reverting back to twrp 3.0 was my fix. Flashed in fastboot. To decrypt I flashed the midified boot.img and than twrp and than formatted data to decrypt. Hope it helps.
After i boot in twrp with n preview asking a password for decrip device. I cannot install any kernel,need change anything?
You need to flash a modified boot.img for it to be able to decrypt properly, there's a link in section 2 of my guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928
There is an updated TWRP that you can flash that is able to read/write and doesn't ask for a password.

Disable forced-encryption, and decrypt your 6P first. Here is my tutorial: http://www.droidorigin.com/decrypt-nexus-6p/
Once you have, you can flash TWRP easily.

It is an issue with TWRP right now. It wouldn't work until you have disabled forced-encryption and decrypted your device.

So does twrp work at all with the n previews? How does one root the previews without twrp? Looking at installing the fourth one, but I'm not willing to lose root.
I accidentally let the OTA try to update from Preview 3 to 4. It stuck on the TWRP splash screen 3.0.2-0 (I think). It didn't seem to fail or anything but it just would never go past that splash screen. I was being dumb, updating without access to a C to A cable so I thought I was screwed but I decided to try something else out. I hit the BP Tools button on the Bootloader menu and for some reason that booted my phone up like normal. I then tried to see if I could boot it up normally. No luck, same TWRP splash screen. BP Tools worked again, but I know its some developer setting and I don't want to mess with anything that could mess me up later. Does anyone know how to get past the TWRP screen? Also anyone know why BP Tools would boot but the regular boot wouldn't work? I guess this is what I get for being a dumbass. I knew I shouldn't but I get so damn excited about updates!
Thanks a lot.

if you have a backup (titanium or nandroid), or don't mind starting from scratch you can make TWRP work with DP4 by:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
There's got to be a way to get around the encryption problem without decrypting the phone...
Would this work: when twrp asks for passcode to decrypt, say skip. Then take the SuperSU zip from my computer and put it on my phone via USB, and flash it from twrp.
Would it work even though twrp can't read my storage?
If your phone is encrypted, the only twrp that works is 3.0.0.0
You can use it to adb sideload supersu zip and root the phone. But won't be able to mount my partitions as it cant decrypt the phone.

I was on the last beta n4f26t, and flash TWRP successfully, then went to flash superSU from twrp, this when wrong and everything goes downhill from here. I tried flashing back the last update, in it's entirety following the Heisenberg guide for returning to stock didn't work, tried flashing twrp again still can't get into recovery (just boot loops) I tried a previous update NMF26F and got to the dead android recovery screen but when I tried to flash back the OTA nothing happened and went back to bootloop on reboot. I've used the nexus root kit and still nothing. What can I do to fix this? I've honestly looked up every resource I could think of before posting this here. really hoping I didn't perma brick my 6P

Hello... So now you only have access to the bootloader Or bootloader and stock recovery?
If your bootloader is unlocked, you can try:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot format userdata
Of course it will wipe your internal storage...

I would concentrate on trying to get a working recovery first. Almost everyone who lost recovery mode never got their phone back- classic BLOD. First try fastboot FORMATTING recovery and then both fastboot flash twrp, and then fastboot boot twrp. If you can get a working recovery there may be hope. If you can never boot to recovery mode, I think you are done. From your bootloader screen, what is your bl version?

BL: angler-03.6.7

I see all normal BL options and I flashed it with the nexus root kit and used https://developer.android.com/preview/download-712.html this image
I know with older versions of TWRP there was a problem with the EFS partition that contains the IMEI info. What version of twrp are you using??? I thought I bricked my Nexus 6p after restoring a backup but it was actually just me screwing up my EFS partition. The newer versions of twrp (i think 3.0.3 and up) fixed this problem. Still though, if it is that, and you flash a new twrp version it won't fix your problem. If you have the time search through the forum for the EFS partition fix. I don't know the commands off the top of my head but I know this helped a lot of people. Worth a shot.

OK, but when you try to boot to recovery, it bootloops? Never goes to recovery? Try the steps above to successfully flash the recovery partition using fastboot. I suppose you can use NRT, but download the latest version of TWRP and try both flashing and booting the twrp.img.
same boat
anxious to hear results: I can't get to recovery and am bootlooping - tried a bunch of things using Nexus Root Toolkit . Curiously enough earlier when I was trying to flash an older version or ressurection remix, even my TWRP would bootloop so I couldn't flash anything without it quitting - anyone ever hear of that happening?
