Hi, I have a nexus 6 on Verizon running Euphoria OS and I want to go back to the stock ROM so I can get marshmallow when it comes out. I've looked online and when I run the flash-all.bat it says it can't load the bootloader and everything else. I don't care if I lose my data, I just want to get the stock ROM. Any help?
Did you get your question answered?
Mm roms
If your already rooted there are several MM roms available right here pre rooted.
Download MRA58K factory image from Google, extract all files, flash all imgs except for userdata. Voila! You're on Marshmallow with all of your data saved.

Hello everyone. My Nexus 6 has been running standard 5.0.1, which I rooted (using WugFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit - very useful software) . SuperSU has been installed, along with BusyBox, with TWRP as the custom recovery. My service is on T-Mobile, and just today my system update informed me that the 5.1 OTA update was ready to download and install. I allowed it the right to download and it claimed to be rebooting to install. Unfortunately, it rebooted into TWRP (I am guessing it expected the standard recovery)? I told TWRP it to simply reboot into the OS, and it appear the update has failed - nothing has changed. I'm still on 5.0.1 as shown in the settings etc.. Furthermore, attempting to check for System Updates again show no updates available; it seems it has "forgotten" that OTA 5.1 exists and/or assumes that it has already been pulled down properly? This is my first time updating a stock, yet rooted, ROM - I'm used to flashing or using another update system included in custom ROMs such as Cyanogen . I had hoped that since the OTA update was offered, it would have worked without the necessity to wipe my data as in a normal flash. I am guessing the error was in using the OTA update at all, or perhaps having TWRP installed? So I guess I am trying to figure out the best path forward from here.
I am to understand that the T-Mobile OTA 5.1 update activates a number of new features ,including VOLTE etc... so I want to be sure I get the correct ROM, as well as any baseband changes that may be necessary. I still have TWRP and the like, so I assume I could flash the update manually, if I was sure it was the right build and I got all the needed files. Now, I have to wonder, it appears that during the original OTA update, it did download the ROM somewhere. Perhaps I could find it on my device and select it in TWRP to update? Or would that not provide all the necessary files , overwrite something, or otherwise cause problems? Anyone point me in the correct direction perchance? Thanks.
Edit: I may have not been prompted for another OTA update because my battery was < 50%. Plugging it in and seeing if this changes anything. I read on Tmo's page that >50% battery is necessary to "qualify" for the update?
Also, according to https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-18109 - the Tmo 5.1 is "LMY47M". This build is not available yet at https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images - only the "D" and "E" versions. Does this "M" version include VoLTE calling? I'm seeing discussion about these differing versions, yet very little solid information. I can't believe Google would split the ROM by carrier for a Nexus device! That's insane... having to look for all the custom ROMs that are built with the proper carrier specific build in mind!
a phone that is pure stock can take an ota. a phone that has any files changed, or not pure stock can not flash an ota, doesnt matter how many otas you try. you will have to flash the factory img.
So I should wait until 5.1 LMY47M is available and simply flash it via TWRP? Will I need to wipe anything at all when I flash it? Will I need to flash anything else, like Gapps? Rooting will need to be performed again? If I was running a custom ROM I'd know what to expect, but I'm a bit out of my element here.

you cant flash it in twrp. you can flash the factory img via fastboot while youre in the bootloader. or you can flash a 5.1 custom rom, that will be easier.

If you want to take the OTA, do the following:
Download the 5.0.1 factory zip.
Extract all of the files.
To unroot, fastboot flash the system.img.
Fastboot flash the stock recovery.img.
If you are unencrypted, fastboot flash the stock boot.img.

Please take a bug report and find the OTA link inside. Instructions here: https://www.reddit.com/r/nexus6/comments/2zlqid/psa_if_you_receive_the_tmobile_51_ota_update/
Hi all,
I've been a long long time rooter of phones. The Nexus 6 was no different. I'm running Temasek's CM12 rom and it's been great, but I'd like to go back to stock and run the Marshmallow rom unrooted. It seems like with Doze and other features it would be better for me at this time.
I have the ATT version of the Nexus 6 and the latest TWRP installed. What would I need to do to install the latest stock 6.0 rom (safely?). Im a technical person but rather than throw things at the wall and see what sticks, I'm looking for a couple of testimonials to make me feel better about doing this
Thanks!
Flashing the factory images from Google is likely your best bet. You can flash everything separately, skipping the userdata image if you don't want to format your data partition, and skip the recovery image if you want to keep TWRP. I am sure there are guides on site to assist with this if you aren't sure how to accomplish this.
You will likely have to factory reset in TWRP as going from CM > stock will likely cause some problems. Also, if you have disabled encryption and want to stay that way, you will want to flash a custom kernel that removes the force encryption before booting into Android.
Hello all,
i rooted my nexus 6 and now that android 6.0 has been release i can't install the upgrade. My phone shows there is a system upgrade available. I have clicked to download the upgrade. Now its showing that a system upgrade has been downloaded and verified. Once i click on install update, it reboots to the teamwin. And to be honest, i don't really know if its taking the updated or how i can upgrade if possible.
can someone help me please?!!!!
Same answer every time. You can't get the OTA if you're rooted.
Options are :
- flash factory image (see sticky roll-up in general)
- flash a pre-rooted zip from recovery.
if you dont want to lose your data. just flash system.img, boot.img and recovery.img of your current build.
you can extract the images from the factory image...
Not only that, but by attempting to apply the OTA on a rooted device you risk bootlooping it, as I did with my Nexus 10 a couple of years ago.
Your best bet is to use Wugfresh's Nexus Root Toolkit (NRT). Since this is a major upgrade you can't use the "no wipe" option, so you'll lose any data that you haven't backed up first - photos, etc. - so do that before you do anything. Also take a TWRP backup of your current ROM and copy it to your PC so that at least you can recover to where you are now. NRT also has a backup option.
If you tell NRT that your current ROM is MRA58K (Android 6.0) and then tell it to flash stock and unroot, it will pull down all the required files before applying them to your Nexus. You can then re-root if you want to. It's a beautifully-engineered program, pretty well foolproof if you follow the instructions and choose the right ROM for your device.

It cant get to that stage any more.
Thats good news. What changed? Ever since that experience I haven't even tried an OTA. I was abroad at the time and lost the use of my Nexus 10 for most of the holiday.

OTA zips used to check individual files in system to ensure they matched before updating. It checks either md5 or sha hash. It didn't take account of every file or even files added by the users. so upgrading could cause issues.
Now, it checks the md5/hash of the entire system, which means all files are taken into account.. It will not flash of anything is changed.
Thanks - happy to roll you over to 19,400...
Hello All,
A few months ago I got a Nexus 6 as a replacement for a Moto 2014. I love Nexus devices and used to flash roms back in the day and now I am a little lost. I followed some instructions when I first got the device on how to set up Root using WUGFresh Root Tool Kit: http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/ I also installed TWRP recovery. I can't remember how I actually got here because I did it a while back. I rooted and set up a custom recovery.
I am on 5.1.1 at the moment.
Kernel Version: 3.10.40-gc16a3c6
[email protected] #1
Tue Jul 28 17:58:25 UTC 2015
Build Number:
LMY48W
Im on AT&T
I can't remember how I actually got here because I did it a while back. I rooted and set up a custom recovery (I think) and I basically started from scratch and had to reinstall everything. I want to update to Marshmallow and I have a few questions.
1.) If I do update it to the Marshmallow 6.0.1 will I lose all my data and installed programs?
2.) Where can I get the closest to stock Marshmallow 6.0.1 or 6.0 for the Nexus 6?
3.) Whats the best way to install it?
4.) If I get an OTA should I install it? What will happen if I do?
Sorry for all the NEWB questions. I got so lost in all the documentation, references, XDA developers, multiple versions of custom recoveries I can't figure out what I did anymore and I can't figure out what to do!
TLDR: I have a Nexus 6 on 5.11 LMY48W, phone is rooted, I have TWRP, how can I get step by step instructions to install the best and most up to date Marshmallow for Nexus 6?
First and foremost: Please, don't use rootkits and toolkits, the Marshmallow updates come fast, toolkit developers will always be a step behind. Not to mention, that if something goes sideways (and wirh Marshmallow it probably will), you won't have the knowledge to fix it.
So:
4) You're rooted, you won't get an OTA
1) Since you won't get an OTA, you must flash by hand, and you should always do a clean install when doing a version upgrade
3) Now you can decide if you do a full factory setup, with flashall, or you can choose to learn how to flash images one by one, then if you don't flash userdata, and you do the factory reset from a custom recovery, you'll have all your files intact. But the stock recovery deletes everything when doing factory reset.

Thanks. Since I am using the Nexus 6 do you recommend that I set it back to factory settings to get the OTA updates? If so what is a good link for instructions to do that? Thanks!
As long as you are going from stock to stock, you can skip the factory reset - I've done that all this time, and have never had an issue. Just flash using fastboot (don't use flash-all), and skip the step to flash userdata.

Nevermind I saw your link. I should have read that a little closer. Thanks! I will try the factory image.

I'm glad I could help.
Does anyone know of a stock, un-encrypted, no root, nougat ROM? Tried a few "stock" roms and removed SU within the actual file. But all that does is cause issues. Any ideas?
Factory images of Android 7 were just released and Google makes them readily available to everyone. Download one and flash it using Fastboot. Problem solved.
I misread your post and missed that you were looking for an unencrypted ROM. There isn't one that I'm aware of...yet. Wait a few days and Pure Nexus should be released.
Use the factory image with a custom kernel/modified boot image that doesn't force encryption.
So like ElementalX Kernel. All I would have to do is, flash factory and than ElementalX and I should be ok?
