My device is rooted with TWRP recovery, every time I try to flash CM11 (whether it be the latest stable, or any nightly) it installs succesfully then goes into a boot loop so I have to restore it, any ideas?

Most likely you're on the 24A KK bootstack and you're flashing CM11 which only works on the JB bootstacks.

Thanks man, flashed it and it works great!
Out of curiosity, what if you don't have a restore? How would I go about this? Please and Thank You.

Something, or anything. I messed up real bad, wiped storage after I flashed rom so now I don't know how to get anything on my device.

I would revert to stock using tot/kdz method then start fresh. Hopefully that will fix your issue. Return to stock thread is in General I believe...
i bricked my nexus 6 and i flashed stock once again, but snow in free space is 23gb and before it was 25gb? how could this happen? or how to get that space again.
You must factory reset using stock recovery.

with stock rom or custom rom?
23gb is the normal amount if you are running stock, not 25gb.

have you updated since seeing 25gb? i mean i have 25gb right now, but im running rastapop on android 5.0.2. rastapop removes some fat, so itll be a little more space left over. but when i was on stock android 5.0, it said 23gb.

at the moment using a custom rom, would have to go back to stock and try.

ah, i see. yes then, each rom takes up a differing amount of room.
what about if i install stock recovery and factory reset it with the custom rom installed?

itll just clear your data. it wont change your total amount of storage.

25 is with stock but its just like the last 2 nexus devices sometimes when you flash stock you lose a little storage and a factory reset running stock recovery will solve this. I just had this happen. Here's a SS on stock ROM. When I flashed stock I had like 23 until the reset.

Stock recovery. Not sure about while a custom ROM is installed I always do the reset right after flashing stock.

If you unlocked the boot loader, rooted and have TWRP custom recovery, you just need to :
1. Download rom and gapps to your phone. Links should be found in the OP of the ROM's thread. If you wish Google to restore your apps be sure you have selected the backup-auto restore in settings.
2. Do unencryption now if you wish.
3. Boot into TWRP recovery and wipe a couple times.
4. From TWRP, install the rom and gapps.
5. Reboot system, sign into your Google account and let it download and restore your apps.
6. Reboot system once more & you should be gtg.

Should be in the Chroma OP or close thereby as to whether you need the boot loader.
I would think for sure a wipe or two. Boot loader, maybe. Radio, at your discretion.

I checked. Instructions and prerequisites are in the OP of the Chroma thread.
I also updated my Nexus 6 with 5.0.1, unlock and root, to 5.1 without losing data. I just had to re-root it afterwards.
I used Wugfresh Nexus root toolkit.
In short I used "Flash stock + unroot", in which I selected "Enable no-wipe" and "force-flash".
After this I rerooted the device from within NRT.
Worked like a charm!

Oooook... I'm confused too. I'm on dirty unicorns 5.0.2.. I want to upgrade to 5.1... Some instructions say to flash the unencrypted kernel and I also have looked into the boot img and baseband thread.. But when would I need to do all of this? I need someone willing to explain it like I'm five how and when to update the baseband, etc.. I already backed up my internal storage so I'm ready to do whatever I have to to flash Chroma or any other non stock 5.1 ROM.

Well can you be my guinea pig and flash chroma without doing everything else? worst thing that could happen is it not boot into the rom and wrong radio will just make your phone not pickking up signel intil you flashed radio. but chroma dont say anything about flashing bootloader so i dont think its needed.
BTW ims still on rooted stock 5.0.1.
Bump!
But I don't have access to a computer right now. I have everything backed up. I have downloaded the radios, bootloader, and 5.1 custom rom. Is it a dumb idea to go ahead and flash through TWRP? Or should I wait until I have access to a computer in case something goes wrong?

make a nandroid backup in twrp recovery, then flash your rom(supersu, and gapps). or do you need me to hold your hand?

by far the EASIEST method to get to 5.1 is found in this thread (be sure to give thanks to the OP):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/development/fxz-nexus-6-recovery-flashable-fastboot-t3066052
be sure to follow the steps he listed out in the OP and you WILL NOT lose any of your data/apps/texts/etc.
how do i know its the easiest method? b/c im a noob and struggled with all the other methods including fastboot. i soft bricked my phone and had to restore it by flashing a custom rom. let me know if you have any questions and i'll try to help if i can.

thats not the easiest method. the op is on 5.0.1 with twrp recovery. he wants to flash a custom rom. all he has to do is download the rom, then flash it in his twrp recovery, with gapps, and supersu. thats much easier.

95r radio.
I'm on liquid Smooth Rom 5.0.1. And want to go to 5.1. Do I flash new radio. Reboot with new radio and old rom. If it boots, go back to recovery and flash 5.1 rom? Or flash rom then new radio?

I want to install Motorola soak test marshmallow in my xt068 but i have heard many post of bricked devices while rolling back to stock 5.0.2. It is my primary device, so i do not want to brick it. Is there any safe way to go back to stock 5.0.2?
Has anyone safely rolled back to stock lollipop after installing m through twrp
Just do a backup in TWRP. You can restore it without any problems
Yeah I did.
Its pretty simple. Go to refuuges Easy Installer Script. And download the right firmware and follow instructions. Done.

Yes I tried backup and restore too.!! I am using now Android m soak test before this I also installed Android m and also restored. To android 5.0.2 and also then installed Android M without any problem .! Email .!:: [email protected] If any question free to ask me .!!
If I made TWRP backup of CM12.1(My Current Rom), and after all on MM, if I wished to get CM12.1 back, can I restore the TWRP backup made with CM12.1 ? ? ?
Or else
Should I first flash stock 5.0.2 firmware, then make TWRP backup and then restore MM TWRP backup? ?
Sorry its quite confusing.
But TIA
