Hope this helps.
1. Install android sdk and use the included install manager in the sdk to install the latest google usb drivers and platform tools (platform tools include fastboot and adb). Make sure adb and fastboot directory is in your Path variable as well.
2.Download latest stock image for Nexus 9 from google: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en
3.Download latest twrp (here is the latest right now 10/6/2015): http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...recovery-twrp-2-8-2-0-touch-recovery-t2944788
4.Download either a stock boot image with the no- forceencrypt flag set or a kernel with the no-forceencrypt flag set
a.I use the elementalx kernel (10/6/2015): http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-9/orig-development/kernel-elementalx-n9-0-02-alpha-t2931657
b.A stock kernel for the MRA58K build with the no-forceencrypt flag set can be found here (boot.zip): http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-9/general/marshmallow-factory-images-available-t3218290/page3
5.Download the latest supersu that works with nexus (beta now) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133
6.Make sure you have usb debugging enabled and ability to unlock bootloader (android developer options menu on nexus).
7.Unzip the 6.0 stock image into a folder and open a command window in the folder.
8.Type the following:
a.adb reboot bootloader, wait until nexus boots into bootloader
b.fastboot oem unlock
c.flash-all, now wait a few minutes while the stock image flashes
9.At this point your nexus will reboot. Once you’re started, up you need to again enable usb debugging and the ability to unlock your bootloader in the android developer options menu. Now type the following to flash TWRP:
a.adb reboot bootloader, wait until nexus boots into bootloader
b.fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (or whatever the image filename is from the twrp download).
10.Important: now make sure you boot DIRECTLY into TWRP via the button combination (power and volume down), a fastboot command, or the fastboot menu. If you don’t TWRP will be deleted and you’ll need to reflash using the last step.
11.Once in TWRP, hit “cancel” when asked for the password and then erase/wipe data and make sure MTP is enabled (dig around the menus in TWRP, it’s all in there somewhere). This erases the encrypted partition and allows you to use adb to push files to your sdcard.
12.Now type adb push supersufile.zip /sdcard/supersufile.zip, make sure you’re typing from the correct directory.
13.Install supersu via the install menu on TWRP.
14.You now need to install a kernel with the no-forceencrypt flag set:
a.If you want to install a custom kernel (like elementalx), type adb push elementalxfile.zip /sdcard/elementalxfile.zip, make sure you’re typing from the correct directory. Then use TWRP to install the zip from your sdcard.
b.If you want to install the modified stock boot.img then unzip the boot.zip, boot back into the bootloader and type: fastboot flash boot boot.img. Make sure you do NOT boot back into the android OS before doing this step or you'll have to reflash twrp.
Reboot and you’re good to go.
Didnt work for me.
Flash-all script doesn't work for everyone use these steps:
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot –w
fastboot flash boot boot.img [unencypted if wanted]
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img [twrp usually]
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img

excellent guide, just a small typo on 9.b, "fastboot (not flashboot) flash recovery twrp.img"
Thank you

You can't just flash latest stable SuperSU, you need SuperSU 2.50+ beta and a modified boot.img. Instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/wip-android-6-0-marshmellow-t3219344

I flashed the latest supersu and the latest elementalx kernel.... been running it since about an hour after elementalx kernel for 6.0 final was posted....... everything seems to be working fine. Are you sure? Maybe i'm having no problems with supersu because i'm using elementalx? let me know the reason, i'll check it out on my tablet and see if i can reproduce, and if so i'll modify the guide. But after about a day and a half use, i've had no issues. thx for quality checking.

Am I missing something?
can I not just do a wipe and flash the img with twrp like a custom rom? Edit: Got it working. For me it was much easier to use this as opposed to the android sdk, because it would not detect my version of java. From there I followed your instructions, mostly. Putting the files you posted inside the directory the mini adb client allowed the flash-all command to work. From there I followed chainfire's instructions on the latest SU. Everything seems to be running smoothly. Thanks for the initiative, OP :good:
i used supersu 2.52 due to it seems be be required by the guides and i get the notification that the binary needs to be updated. i have not done that yet. is updating the binary something i should try to do? or, if not is it ok to turn off notifications from supersu? thanks.

I was facing same issue, then updated fastboot(android-sdk) and flash-all script worked fine for me.
That should work as well. That sequence of commands should work with any fastboot version. Just make sure to flash the vendor.img, some scripts don't use that as it's only used for the Nexus 9.
Why so complicated? I just installed @wug's NRT toolkit(on a Venue8 pro) and it did everything for me. Now im on rooted stock 6.0 with disabled encryption. Only thing i needed to do is to flash latest super su beta 2.52, that's it.

i did all this, no worries and no error messages
i did fastboot reboot
now I am in a weird loop of
- google screen
- your device is corrupt
- google screen
- twrp (it flashes quite quickly, error messages on mounting everything and last line says something about renaming and something about stock rom)
loop
any ideas ?
Did you make sure to flash vendor.img?
You might try flashing the regular recovery first and then boot in, turn on oem unlock and adb, and then flash twrp and modified boot.img, then reboot into twrp (don't boot normally or it will erase twrp) and flash SuperSU.

yes, that seems to have been it
flashing TWRP seems to have been the problem so I have left everything as stock until root etc works on the stovk kernel

added link to the latest beta supersu. thx.
All of these steps worked for me, but my battery doesn't charge right I don't think. It says battery life is at 3,745%. It runs out somewhere around 3,000%. Any ideas on how to fix that?
Wanted to flash a new ROM, so did a full wipe. Now when I tried to flash the ROM it says need twrp 3.1.x
So rebooted into fastboot and flashed latest twrp.
Now I can't reboot to recovery also NO OS too.
Tried the manual method holding power+volume up it just boots up gets stuck in bootlogo.
Any kinda help would be appreciated.
You know you can just do fastboot boot (blabla).img, right?
All you need is to put your phone into fastboot and the fastboot tool that you get when downloading adb.

New to device:
do that mean.
we must not!
install the version 3.2.3.0
from the official TWRP homepage ??
No, no.. Reboot to bootloader and use this command. fastboot boot TWRP.img
We need a pc for this.
Our development still working on this. For now do not flash anything to the boot partition.
This device uses the a-b slots and does not have a recovery partition as before, the recovery is now part of the boot.
Use
fastboot boot twtp_every_xxx.img
You can install TWRP on this device and it's very simple!
First boot TWRP via fastboot boot twrp.img and then flash the TWRP-Installer.zip in TWRP. This overwrites the stock recovery which is within the boot.img now for A/B devices. After that you have to flash the magisk.zip and it's done!
Just use Google to find twrp-installer.zip/evert

This installer has been around awhile and there is a reason the official twrps that are far newer cannot be installed yet. While it may seem like it works on the surface, this causes errors in the kernel itself if memory serves me right. This method is not advised! Hopefully, we are on the verge of a breakthrough on a proper official version that can install.
Hello,
Many people report, that their TWRP/PBRP is black and they can't install custom ROM or flash stock ROM by recovery.
Problem occurs in devices with Jdi display.
It is recommended to flash Oreo, then recovery work, but if you want use Android Pie you must be on this stock firmware (I tried Oreo and flash Havoc (Pie) = bootloop).
We need:
Unlocked bootloader
Turned on android debugging
ADB (minimum 1.4.3)
TWRP/PBRP (.img file)
ROM, GAPPS,...
YOUR DATA/PHOTOS/DOWNLOADS WILL BE REMOVED, SO MAKE A BACKUP!
Let's get started:
1. FLASHING ROM
/the phone is on/
1. Use cmd and type: adb reboot-bootloader
<phone will turn on in fastboot mode>
2. Type: fastboot set_active b
Then: fastboot boot <your_recovery.img>, e.g. fastboot boot twrp.img
<phone will reboot, the screen will be black>
<wait to Windows new device sound>
3. Type: adb shell
twrp wipe cache
twrp wipe dalvik
twrp wipe system
twrp wipe data <- NOW YOUR DATA WILL BE REMOVED, SO MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE!
twrp sideload
adb sideload <location_of_your_ROM.zip>, e.g. adb sideload C:\Havoc.zip
When the installation is completed you will see "Total xfer X.XXx".
2. FLASHING GAPPS
Now: adb reboot-bootloader
<phone will turn on in fastboot mode>
fastboot set_active a
fastboot boot <your_recovery.img>, e.g. fastboot boot twrp.img
<phone will reboot, the screen will be black>
<wait to Windows new device sound>
adb shell
twrp wipe cache
twrp wipe dalvik
twrp sideload
adb sideload <location_of_your_GApps.zip>, e.g. adb sideload C:\GApps.zip
When the installation is completed you will see "Total xfer X.XXx".
3. FLASHING PATCHED BOOT IMAGE (MAGISK + ROOT)
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot <your_patched_boot.img>, e.g. fastboot flash patched_boot.img
fastboot reboot
<phone will start, the first start may take some time>
It's instruction for performing these three steps sequentially.
System will be installed on slot B, the Gapps and patched boot on slot A.
Now you can enjoy custom ROM
Greetings

The data partition is encrypted. If you want to access this partition you have to format it by TWRP. When you start system with forced encryption, the data will be again encrypted (or use custom ROM without encryption or install script to disable it on stock software).

I had a similar problem while using twrp to copy files to the phone storage, try this command before doing anything:
fastboot -w
Note: This wipes all data.
This made the phone storage accessible.

Try to boot TWRP on Pie, if you see TWRP GUI mean you don't have Jdi display. You don't have to flash anything, only boot by fastboot.
It depends of your ROM and system updater, I follow the guide to flash new version and all is working ok.

So, I was able to recover from this by using Xiaomi Flash Tool (v20170425) to flash the V10.0.7.0 stock rom. That got me back to a working stock Android.
I then retried the steps from this guide (except Gapps and patched boot), and this time I was able to get my Resurrection Remix started. However, the userdata file structure looks like rubbish, and none of the apps can write to or read from it. I tried to do a factory reset (from within custom rom) to fix this, but then the phone turned off and would not boot to custom rom again. fastboot -w still doesn't work.
Any ideas how to make the userdata partition great again?

I made it work by doing the first 2 steps from the OP and then after booting into system the first time I booted into bootloader and then used fastboot -w. I did this with Havoc OS though so it might not work for everyone.
When I wanted root and didn't know how to get a patched boot image for my ROM, I just followed the steps to access TWRP through ADB again and then wiped cache and dalvik, afterwards I used the sideload command to flash Magisk on my phone.

I eventually figured out that all my problems occurred because I was using old versions of ADB and fastboot. After updating to latest platform-tools (currently r28.0.2) I was able to run fastboot -w without problems. And once that worked I was able to set up a fully working system following the steps of this guide.
Thanks for a very useful guide, it saved my day!

I'm not entirely sure I understand your question, but please note that by following the OP instructions you never flash TWRP, you just boot right into it from RAM. So should be no problem to do that while keeping stock ROM.
Hello, I really need someone to help me out.
I wanted to flash Pixel Experience on my Redmi K20 Pro so I unlocked the Bootloader and flashed TWRP using ADB tools.
Later I cleared the internal storage by mistake using TWRP without knowing that it would clear my OS too.
But once I cleared my internal storage, even TWRP was missing.
Now I don't have an OS and TWRP.
Every time I reboot, I enter into Fastboot mode. When I use the command "fastboot devices" it lists my device.
And when I flash TWRP, it gives me a Positive response but when I use Power + Vol Up, it just restarts and enters Fastboot mode.
I really want this to be fixed. If there's any way please help me out guys.
Download your device fastboot rom and install with mi flash tool
Download TWRP from here: https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomimi9t.html
Then use the following commands:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot twrp.img
Now TWRP should be flashed and you can try to flash PE again.
