Hey guys,
Anyone using systemless root with any versions of 6.0.1? I am still on 6.0.0 because I did not find a systemless root version except the original one posted on chainfire's site from late last year. I know the version of the systemless root matters as the kernel version matters for it to build the correct boot image.
I am not asking how to do it, just if anyone has successfully done this and which files (file names would be nice, so I can google 'em) did you use, to do it.
I have done a ton of searches all over the place and can not find one way or the other out there.
I don't want to hear a bunch of systemless vs non-systemless root stuff, please.
Thanks!
Hello old friend! I don't see many folks from the Atrix2 around anymore.

I am using SuperSU 2.72 systemless with the latest stock 6.01. You could also use the newer BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328.zip, I suppose.

Wow! Hey there, been a long time. Good to see you over here. Yeah I haven't seen too many of the old Atrix2 crew around the site for a while. It was almost as if most fell off the face of the earth.
This is my 4th Nexus device, and I will not go to anything else at this point. I am still working on the Ubuntu phone from a dev standpoint, plus a few things here with Android.
Hope to see you around here more often.

Hey meekrawb thanks for the info. I went to chanfire's site an took a look and the only boot image for the 6P is the mb08k image, which is the 6.0.0 release, and not a boot image for the later releases including the newer 6.0.1. I am guessing that since it is the boot image that the actual release verision is arbitrary, but just want to be sure. I plan on trying it anyhow as I can just flash a proper image if it gets into a bootloop.

You don't need those special boot images anymore. When you flash the zip it automatically patches your boot.img.

Can confirm, all downloaded and installing now. Took some quick keyboard work at work to use fastboot and flash back entirely to stock (recovery included) while signing up for the beta. Popped up instantly.
is this the new one ? or this is still the old beta ?
Installing also, looks that this is final build with changelog
Can someone tell us if this is the final version?

Now, please tell us what happen if you un enroll your device? Just a reset factory? or nothing happen? can anyone test it?

I was rooted with Magisk. I disabled root from the Magisk Manager and installed the OTA update. I lost root but gained Nougat.

If you are rooted with Systemless SuperSu you can still download the OTA as usual then install it with the Flashfire app rather than installing from the prompt. Worked for me anyway.
how do i upgrade from purenexus while keeping TWRP and leaving my file system decrypted? I don't mind wiping my data.

Don't worry, nothing bad will happen to your device, but you won't get more beta releases until you opt-in again!

All files are alive after this upgrade. In my case
So, just tried to upgrade.
After half an hour of downloading and updating, it reached the point where the phone restarted itself, but all I saw is an open-android icon with a message "Error!" :/
Simply restarted the phone and back to 6.0.1. Unfortunately.
Full ota link here

Looks like they finally released 7.0.0 software for the 5x, NRD90M
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
yep time to factory flash. 6p is missing, sounds like there is more issues over there.
Just noticed, downloading now!
Already flashed. So far things are great and fluid. All my apps restored including data, did not even have to log in. Impressed.

Did you guys need to do a factory reset to flash to Android 7 from 6.0.1?
All restored by the android internal backup? Or did you use titanium or something else?

I've been holding it until the final release ... pushing the OTA now ...
"C:\Users\blabla\Downloads>adb sideload bullhead-ota-nrd90m-fdb8250a.zip
serving: 'bullhead-ota-nrd90m-fdb8250a.zip' (~56%)"
***Update: It finished, and working great so far! Since I pushed the OTA there was no need to reinstall any apps or restore app data. However, when I have some free time (2-3 hours), I'd like to do a fresh factory install to compare performance. I didn't run into any issues with the OTA yet.

Actually that's not true. It mostly depends from which DP you started receiving updates. eg. I clean installed DP5, which had some features removed (eg. night mode, and it's also missing from the final), whereas someone who started clean from DP1 will have it on the final. For the final I guess they were waiting to update the Google Apps, such as Connectivity Services which got updated after the final OTA.
Noobish q, can this be flashed trough TWRP? Im on Pure Nexus 6.0.1

No, fastboot
I'll do it late tonight when I have time to spend doing a full wipe. I'm not looking forward to the fight to root it though. From what I understand, Google is cracking down on rooting.
I had no real issues with OTA. Things seem to be even better after a fresh factory flash.

It's really really really hard to root this phone. Fastboot flashing TWRP then flashing SuperSU in TWRP is tough. I don't know how I ever did it.
When someone that knows what they are talking about says Android is getting harder to root, they mean for those that initially find it (chainfire), not the user. For you and I, it's only a matter of flashing a cute little zip in our custom recovery.

I understand that, but I read this article (a month old) talking about the secure boot and only being able to boot and use partial operating system features if it detects corruption, such as rooting.

okay guys so this is the dilemma...
i was rooted on 7.1.1 dp1 with the flashable pixel zip. I received the DP2 OTA somehow, tried to install but it just restarted the phone.. nothing changed.
I eventually got bored of it and tried flashing the resurrection ROM. however, i got stuck on the boot screen. so i unrooted and flashed the factory image off googles devs site. Now i want to go update to DP2, i have enrolled in the beta but still nothing comes up. i have unenrolled and enrolled heaps of times and nothing is happening.
thanks for any help
It's not immediate. Enroll in the beta again. Wait a couple of hours. Eventually it'll pop up. Reboot after a few hours if you still don't have it.
If all else fails, the DP2 image is available online at developer.android.com/preview/download.html if you don't get the OTA. Just download from the developer site, extract, put phone into fastboot mode, and then run the flashall.bat. This will flash your phone back to stock on developer preview 2. The DP2 build number is NPF26F (You said you had an image from the dev site, check the build number).

Silly questions but do I need to be rooted to flash the dp2 image ? And no, my apologies. I've got 7.0 NBD91K from Google, not the dev site. My bad!

Nope! There's no need to be rooted! You do, however, need to have an unlocked bootloader. But I'd imagine you'd have that if you're flashing roms :laugh:
And ah! I'm on the same page as you now about the google developers factory images site. With the android developers site I posted, just scroll down on that page and find the nexus 6P link and download that! This will wipe your data though.
Your problem originally that caused the DP2 update to not work was the pixel mod. If you have that flashed, the ota update doesn't work. I had the same problem. But the good news is, you can get pixel mods for DP2 too! I'm using one too.

Yeah, it doesn't hurt to try (unless it does). I did the same thing because I was curious about that. I figured it would update and wipe the pixel mod, but nope! :laugh: I hope everything goes smoothly :good:

Use TWRP 3.4.0-2 from twrp.me as it works just fine and it's strongly recommended to use the latest one for obvious security reasons due to the vulnerabilities in the old software as well as bugfix in general.

I thought it had to be the Blu spark twrp as I thought it was specifically built for oneplus6t . Will a twrp from twrp.me work?

Thanks man I got it twrp to work. My phone is acting weird tho. I tried putting music on this morning and it said sum about the phone wasn't responding. This has nothing to do with the topic but root and custom kernel is not playing well with my phone. Should I make a separate topic for this?
