Alright, I'm in need of some help, and I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this thread, so if it';s in the wrong place, I'm sorry for taking up space in the wrong section.
My issue is with my Nexus 6, the Verizon variant; I had a custom kernal, running 6.0, and was rooted. I wanted to upgrade to 6.0.1, and downloaded the newer version of the ElementalX kernal, the one I was using, as well as the necessary SuperSU files. I downloaded the new Android version, installed it, and before it went intoi the OS, I flashed the kernal and SuperSU upgrade, and now my phone either won't boot, or is taking the longest time for a phone to boot on the planet.
I need to download a 6.0.1 ROM that I can flash with TWRP. Any links or advice anyone could offer would be grately appreciated, because right now, I'm drawing a massive blank.
Many thanks!
Do you need to backup any data?
Could you not just flash a stock "like" rom such as this one by Danvdh http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/development/rom-5-1lightromstock-lmy47e-03-19-2015-t3059493 as it has already been rooted.
I have been running it for a while, very solid and stable rom.
Which SuperSU did you install?
Reflash the rom youre using and then flash Super su (asuming its not a pre-rooted rom) BEFORE flashing elemental x. Other kernels work the other way around
Question?
Are you trying to run systemless root wit EX? If so did you click on yes when TWRP asked you to root your rom?
That would would cause the rom not to boot.

Don't flash anything else till you boot at least once.

I decided to download and flash a custom CM13 build, but it's a bit finicky, kinda to be expected with an early release, though. I'm using that ROM, for now. I'd still prefer getting something from the CM team, something that's supported and I can download upgrades to.

Pretty sure it was 2.61. I have a few versions of it on my phone, ready for flashing, but was careful, making sure I chose the right one.

I'm not great with this stuff. Sorry4Noobishness. I'm not sure what systemeless rooting is.. Originally, I just flashed SuperSU and EX onto the stock ROM I was using. Worked fine. When I decided to upgrade, I downloaded the 6.0.1 ROM, installed it, but didn't boot into the OS. I booted into TWRP, and flashed the new EX and SuperSU stuff. The phone didn't boot after that. It was just stuck on the Google boot animation of all the interacting circles.
I decided to use a custom ROM, a CM13 ROM, but it isn't supported, which is why I'm not looking for a CM13 ROM I can use, because, well, I'd kinda like to be able to upgrade when an upgrade comes out.
Flashing a nightly build from their site did the same thing. I flashed the ROM, then gapps, then SuperSU, and it gets stuck on the boot animation. I let it sit for about half an hour, then restored the custom build I was using. I'm not really sure what to do to get a REAL CM13 build on this thing.

Sounds to me like you dont have the correct bootloader. Which bootloader are you currently using? try flashing the newest bootloader and radio then flash your rom again. It should then boot up fingers crossed.

Alright, I decided to go with this ROM, but now I'm stuck with an issue: It won't let me install any apps. Minimalist gapps was used, so I'm not sure what's wrong. Should I just flash stock gapps and see how it goes?

Why did you flash gapps? It seems that this rom comes with gapps already.

Wouldn't let me use the Play Store. Nothing would install, and it's kinda pointless to have an internet-capable device if it can't connect to what's supposed to provide me with that internet connectivity (downloading Chrome, for example). Had to flash stock gapps, but it all seems to be working now.

I am unable to install Cyanogenmod. I have TWRP that was installed with AutoRec. I tried flashing the Stable 10.2 CM version,and when I flashed it said "Failed", which put me into a security error boot loop. Then I tried a nightly, and it said "Success" and when I tried to start it up, it put me into another boot loop. I have the stock Kernel, and I am rooted. Is something like goo manager or rom manager better to use for this? Or what is the safest way to install a custom ROM

What he said, the official nighties only work with the JB baseband.
So is there any other way to do this? I saw that is is extremely risky, and it will permanently brick my phone. Is there any other thing im able to do to flash this?

If you want CM11 with the KK baseband(24A), use the version z3pp3lin pointed you to, otherwise most other AOSP based roms have already been upgraded to work with the KK baseband, use one of those. Just double check the notes on the rom to make sure it's KK/24A based.
Do I have to do all of those steps? You said there is a like for cyanogenmod for 24a. I don't see one though

All those steps are required to manually install a recovery on KK, that was pre-autorec, if you've already installed TWRP, you can skip to step 11.

You have the 24A KK baseband on your phone, you can only use roms that work with that baseband. If you specifically want CM11, you need to use the rom linked, otherwise any other 24A KK based rom will work. Check the notes for any rom you want to install to see what baseband it works with.

So If I want cm, I have to use his links correct? I just want to be sure so I don't get another bootloop
Why not just use a AOSP or CM based ROM that works with the 24A baseband... CM is good, but hardly the "best" ROM out there, if there is such a thing... Try AICP 6.0, it is extremely stable and the VS980 version is excellent and very feature packed.

Not too freak you out more, but no, there is no guarantee. That's why every ROM has the disclaimer in the OP. By flashing you're taking responsibility that you understand the risks involved. If you flash cm and damage your phone somehow, it's on you. So it's either stay with rooted stock where you know nothing will happen, or flashing and taking the risk. Your choice...

Ok, so I had unlocked and rooted my Atrix HD some time ago. Well, it got put into a drawer and I just pulled it out to get it ready for a friend to use. I figured i'd update the rom, or get a better one. It had pacman on it ( can't remember which version...) and I went, first, to cw 11 (I think...) then to blisspop. Well, now google stuff constantly crashes...The phone is a mess and I can't figure out where to fix it.
Some things tell me to fix the nandroid (don't know how) or that I don't have the proper bootstrap or whatever in place...
Is there a method to start over from the beginning? Or do I even have to start over?
EDIT: BTW, I haven't touched this phone in about a year until just a bit ago...
Just rsdlite to stock. Then root the phone then flash a recovery. All that can also be done withing one software call mythtools.
Then flash Blisspop or cm11 will be the best as is more stable. Then finish the process installing a gapps package to the version of android been choose. Done and enjoy your phone again

Ok. I'll give it a shot soon as I can get everything installed. Thanks!
EDIT: Ok. Got stock installed. Got root and bootloader (I THINK). I cannot get recovery to flash at all. Maybe the bootloader isn't unlocked? I used to get a screen that warned me that the bootloader was unlocked, but I'm not getting that now. )

stock non rooted, then flash the factory image. besides that, there wont be any unrooted stock roms. most real roms are made with aosp, not stock. since thete is no usable code to build stock. so, they take stock roms, take them apart, and add supersu to it and other stuff. they dont actually "build" stock roms.

Because I need to install as multiboot I can only install a zip file in recovery... I can only use fastboot for the primary rom which I don't want to touch...
To be honest I don't care if the rom is stock or aosp as long as it's not rooted... That's all that matters.

well, there are many aosp roms, the majority of them are not rooted until you flash the supersu file as well. terminus is my favorite one. one question, why do you need a non rooted rom? if its for a business or for an app, you will appear rooted until you flash the factory image.

My satellite provider has an app but I need to be unrooted in order to run it. I thought the best way would be to install a second rom that is unrooted and use it for this. Thank you for taking an interest to help BTW.
So you are telling me even if I install this terminus rom and I don't root I won't be able to use the app?

since you are on multiboot, i honestly dont know. i do know that many have to unroot to use certain apps, so the get rid if root. but the apps usually think they are still rooted, until they flash the factory image. anyways, good luck!
You could try using a root cloak.

So I have been looking around in the Development forum and there are so many ROM options out there now. I have been on CM 12 nightlies for so long now I am out of the loop on stock builds and all. I am looking to just go back to a completely stock build (with root). Can anyone point me in the right direction for the files I need?
I have a Google Store bought N6 and I am currently on Verizons network.
Thanks!
EDIT: I would also like to be on the latest (and greatest) build.

sure.. https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en
the only way back to stock isnt by flashing roms via twrp, its by flashing a factory image. on top of that, this is a basic element that you HAVE TO learn before ever rooting your phone.

Okay... I guess that makes sense, and to obtain root I would simply flash the SuperSU.zip from Recovery after I have completed the factory image restore? Do I need to re-flash Recovery?

after, you would need to flash twrp recovery, then flash supersu from twrp. so yes.
but, if you really dont have to, dont relock your bootloader

Right, no re-lock, so, I have, 1) Flash Factory Image 2) Flash TWRP 3) Flash SuperSU = Back to Stock (Rooted). Got it, thanks again.
What SImms said
We have a lot of people in panic state over trying to relock their bootloader, and to further emphasize what Simms said, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RELOCK BOOTLOADER, there are specific procedures to do that but locking it just isn't necessary
Hi,
One of my friends told me not to do OTAs beta updates because it could bootloop my phone.
Last update I flashed the zip and all worked perfectly fine, but I had to re-root my phone and re-uninstall annoying stock apps with titanium backup.
Now I have a question :
Is it really risked to do the update with an OTA download ?
I really don't want to re-root my phone and do all the other stuff that comes with it.
I guess there is a way to do a safe update which keeps my data with the OTA but I need a confirmation about that.
Thanks !
(Original post [here] but probably faster answers on this forum, I guess ?)
I think it is ok with official updates. I have not any issue. Just i have not rooted or etc. All stock

Thanks, but I would like to have the advice of somebody with approximatively the same setup as mine, I mean at least with a rooted op3t
If you have all stock, then I can't tell if doing the OTA update will re-stock my phone too
I always have stock phones, because early time when i tried root, unlock btl, install twrp, change rom... sometimes there were wrong things, examle booting only logo and phone make a stone looks like, also custom roms has some bugs and on stock i am sure that everything works good. I do not understan why people starting root, change roms or etc. Use stock always and everything will be ok

To answer OP, yes you can struck in bootloop.
Remember it's beta version and not stable release.
