you can try just flashing the boot.img and system.img, then none of your data will get touched, like a dirty flash.

well, you have to unlock your bootloader to flash any parts of the factory image.

Currently running CM12 20150308 Nightly. Can I just flash the 5.1 factory image? If I do, will I have to reinstall all my apps & reconfigure all my settings?
Thanks!

With all the issues going on I would wait. Right now u can flash the bootloader/radios if u like. If u want the 5.1 factory image u have to return to stock but DO NOT RELOCK BOOTLOADER
Fair enough! I'll hold out for a few days.

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!
My Nexus 6 was bought here in Denmark and its a 64 version. However i would really like to update it before i go travelling, as i just want the improvements with the 5.1 updates.
I have tried the "check for updates" button for like 1000 times as i dont want to clean install it, and just want to upgrade it with my apps etc.
Am i still the only one waiting for 5.1?

Sideloading is really easy though. Just a few simple ADB commands and you're done. Your choice though, I understand. I don't use toolkits but if you wanted to go that route, you could look into it. They make an already simple process even simpler. If you do use toolkits though, it is wise to still have a basic understanding of fastboot and ADB if you get stuck. *end PSA* Good luck with your choice and your traveling.

You can also open the factory image and fastboot flash each image separately. Just skip the userdata.img. Will leave data partition alone.

I have searched this forum topic and did not see any mention of a Marshmallow Release OTA for those running the M Preview 3. Not sure I want to risk things by not flashing some of the image files. Suggestions appreciated.
There will not be an OTA.

OK, thanks. Should I just skip the userdata.img or do a fresh install?
I'd say do a backup of your data and then wipe it clean. A fresh install now and then is nice.

I would try and flash without userdata first, but have your sdcard backed up because really a fresh install of a major OS is always best.

Completely stock. Nougat 7.0.
This, if you haven't found it yet:

Or wait for a new version of this:

Finally:
Install a custom kernel...
All of the above include that you backup your datas and format them once the proper kernel gets flashed, but I guess you know that?!
Hoping this is what you are looking for?!
Thanks for all that.
None of them appear to turn off encryption though.
Encryption isn't magically turned off once you install a kernel that doesn't force encrypt...
Once installed, you have to issue these command in fastboot:
fastboot format userdata
fastboot reboot
Backup first...
