Flashable OTA? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I had my Nexus 5 people would make flashable OTA files to be used in TWRP, is no one doing this any longer? All I can find is how to sideload the OTA.
Thanks

just flash the boot.img and system.img in twrp. if you had root, youll need to reroot. yes, twrp flashes system.img and boot.img files now as well.

Ok, I am a little confused, I am trying to apply the MRA58K from LMY48T OTA found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/ref-nexus-6-stock-ota-urls-t2906493 in the ZIP file, I am not finding system.img, or boot.img

Download the factory images and extract the system and boot.imgs,put them on your SD card(phone storage) enter twrp,select install,then select images in bottom right, select the partition you want to flash to, select the correct.img file

Ok, so, I got my phone updates, however, I had systemless xposed working on it, MM 6.0.1 (MOB30M) however when I went in to try and enable the modules, it gave an error (a long one) so I thought that maybe I didn't have the correct version installed, or wasn't rooted right, so I went back into recovery, re-rooted, and installed 85.3, now it says that xposed isn't installed at all. So for now, I went back to my 5.1.1 restore. Any ideas?

You have to reflash xposed. It is in the system partition so you will have to redo it after making room as google now fills up the system partition almost completely.

I thought that was the whole reason behind the System Less Xposed, so it doesn't install to your system partition.

was the systemless updated to work with the new security measures built into the update? You have to remember that with each update google is making things like xposed harder to get working. It is well known that sooner or later xposed all together will no longer be an option.
So I would check all the changes that the update did to see what it changed. I nor most the people I know have not used xposed in a long time so I really cant say for sure

Systemless root or systemless exposed?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA-Developers mobile app

I have systemless xposed working on mob30m. currently have v85.2 installed, all modules working. Only hiccup i ran into was the installer apk. you have to use the one linked in the systemless xposed thread, or it won't recognize the framework is installed.

Thank you, I just reinstalled 6.0.1 MOB30M and it works!

I'm on 6.0 right now with TW recovery, root with SuperSU and Xposed v85, I want to go to 6.0.1 latest version, what would be the best was to do it?
Shall I uninstall xposed, unroot and get stock recovery and then just try to install OTA or is there another way?

Updated to Android Lollipop, deleted xposed, now bootloop

Hi,
I seem to have managed to bootloop my Nexus 5. Yesterday I updated my Nexus to Android Lollipop (through the system update), I rooted it with CF-Root. All working well after.
However, I noticed that xposed was not activated. So I pressed on uninstall with the intention to install again. As soon as it rebooted, the device got a bootloop.
What should I do?
I tried the xposed-disabler fix but to no avail.
Thanks,
Immortali
Flash stock firmware again. I'm sure stock images are available in the N5 section.
Also, Xposed is not compatible with Lollipop so don't try to install it again unless you want to recover from another bootloop.

Dies that mean that I will lose all data and need to reinstall all apps again?

I don't have an N5, but you should be able to just flash /system leaving your data intact.
If you ask in the N5 section I'm sure someone there will help you.

You can save your data!
If you know how to flash the stock image (If not, let me know), you can just look at the "flash-all" file and search for: "fastboot -w update image-hammerhead-<VersionCode>.zip".
Then, just delete the "-w" (W stands for Wipe).
After that you can just flash with no fear, all of your data will be kept.
If you don't know how to flash a stock image or you know another way to do so that is not giving you the option to not wipe everything form your device, let me know and I'll send you a guide (well, actually, I will translate you a guide from another language ).
Hope I helped and sorry for my English

I'll try that
I did something else:
I did a Nandroid backup, Flash Stocked and then restored the data part only. It is still in the bootloop, therefore I am presuming that the data is actually corrupted.
Can I edit a nandroid backup that is saved on my pc and remove xposed from it?
I think teh lesson here is when moving from one version of Android to another you should do a clean install, either that or just dirty flash over the after a system wipe. Either way I struggle to see how this is an Xposed issue..

Please note that even without the -w flag, if it flashes over userdata.img then that's a wipe.

I didn't knew that actually, what exactly does it wipes?
And still it's pretty much the best you can do... I think
Argh, did exactly the same with the same result. So it's an XPosed issue.
Installed Lollipop OTA on my Nexus 7 WiFi 2013 with XPosed installed. Everything fine and running for a few days.
A few hours ago I decided to remove the XPosed framework from inside the XPosed installer and rebooted -> bootloop.
Strange that this happens after removing XPosed.

Userdata.img covers the entire data partition including internal SD, installed apps and app data. Flashing Userdata.img is equivalent to a full data and storage wipe.

All the modifications that Xposed originally made to your system were reverted by the OTA. I'm sure what happened was the Xposed installer held onto backups of the system files it had modified. When you "uninstalled" Xposed it replaced some proper Lollipop system files with backups that came from KitKat. No wonder it bootlooped.
Since it corrupted system files, what you really need to do is reflash the system.img of Lollipop in fastboot. Then it should boot fine without data loss. Then reroot if you want to.

Are you sure about the wipe?
Cuz I think I already used this method once "without wiping" (For sure used it WITH wiping b4 but I'm not sure I also used without..) and if I really used it this way then I'm pretty sure it didn't wiped any of my data (I may be wrong, though, let me know if it's 100% wipes).
Thanks for all the suggestions, I managed to reboot my Nexus 7 without any loss of userdata.
With help of the Nexus Root Toolkit v1.9.8 I flashed the system.img from the razor-lrx21p-factory-ba55c6ab.zip onto my device in bootloader mode. Within 3 minutes I was up and running again.
That's all it takes to fix the bootloop.
Ok, but the question is "What to do to uninstall Xposed after Lollipop Update ?"

You don't do anything. If the update succeeded and your device boots successfully, then the update already removed Xposed.

What doesn't work? The OTA? Lollipop? Xposed?
If you did the OTA and the OS works, then just remove the Xposed Installer app and your Xposed modules. Xposed itself is no longer installed so don't take any further steps.

Xposed don't work under Lollipop.
On my Nexus 5, Xposed is always present but don't work, because ART et not Dalvik.
It has not been uninstalled...

What makes you say Xposed is still there? The files that were patched when you installed Xposed under KitKat have been replaced by the Lollipop upgrade. Hence it's gone.

[Q] Verizon Maintenance Update KXA21.12-L1.26-3

So this morning I got this maintenance update and now I'm being told that an update is available and that this install is differed. When I click on "select to continue update" I'm told my system is up to date. I've already wiped cache, which did not help. Anyone else experiencing this?

Nope, totally stock Verizon 4.4.4. I'm so far out of the loop, I didn't even know I could unlock and root in the first place.

There does not appear to be an FXZ for this.
You can try flashing stock Recovery.img onto your phone and take it. Unlike other OTA's that failed due to Xposed, this one did not give me any issues installing with Xposed still enabled.
NOTE: I'm unlocked bootloader, rooted, running TWRP, with Xposed instaled (MotoXNetActivity module installed). I haven't made any other modifications. I only run apps that require root like AdFree, wifi tether for root, Root Explorer, etc.

Thanks, I think this answered my questions in the other thread.
Is there a risk to try running the update with stock recovery and other Xposed modules like Gravity Box? Would they fail similarly to a failed system check like I've had in the past for removing/renaming system apps and such?

SuperSU 2.66 beta on Shamu

Please write your experience with SuperSU 2.60 / 2.61 / 2.62-3...2.66 on Shamu.
2.56 didn't work on my unlocked, unencrypted 6.0.0 (MRA58R)
Systemless 2.62-3 with works as a charm with my 6.0.1.
I dirty flashed 6.0.1 system.img and boot.img, then I flashed SuperSU 2.62-3 (in TWRP). I stayed unencrypted.
Xposed, ES File Explorer, Double tap 2 wake, Greenify, BetterBatteryStats ... work perfectly.
Edit:
2.62-3 works for some with 6.0.1. and with Android Pay
2.52 has been working fine for me since mm has been out, running on MRA58R now. Have not tried 2.6 but 2.49 was also working perfectly. If you need android pay to work then 2.6 or there are other options like custom ROMs that have it successfully working

Running it here without issue. Also had it running on mra58r.
The only casualty I suppose was/is es file explorer. It could not gain root access for some reason.
I am rooted, unencrypted and have the latest Elite kernel.

Using 2.6.1 and brand new 6.0.1 fresh install and Android pay is working flawlessly!

Did a full wipe and flashed again the lite Rom 6.0.1 of Danvdh. This rom is stock based.
After reboot I restored the 6.0-data from a nandroid backup with TWRP. Root checker says 'no root'.
Now last try with full wipe and restore from Google.
At this moment my N6 is restoring the apps from Google take a long time, but root checker says there is root access.
So this update needs a complete wipe and factory reset.

I did some reading and trial with the lite rom of Danvdh. What seems important is that SuperSU 2.6x is flashed as the last file after flashing system stuff, like mods, kernel.

Flashed the lite 6.0.1 rom of Danvdh;
Flashed Franco's kernel r35;

Reboot - TWRP button 'do not install SU'.
Needed to restore settings (dpi), layers and the black themed apps of the TBO team.
I dirty flashed from stock rooted 6.0.0 to 6.0.1 today and rooted using Systemless 2.62-3. Everything is working great so far.

I tried today with xposed and the new factory, NFC service started crashing (i flashed the new system img without deleting data).
So i rebooted again in twrp, flashed the xposed uninstaller zip, then wiped dalvik/cache, flashed xposed installer, wiped dalvik/cache again. Now it's working fine.

Weird issue. I'd try a factory reset.
I figured out how to disable it: I added a rule to enable Do Not Disturb for calendar events, then created an event lasting one minute. At the end of the event, the phone was back to "All notifications"; the toggle works fine now.

No, I don't have Xposed at the moment.
Another minor issue is that WiFi seems to be always on, looking at the battery usage graph, even when it's set to be off (WiFi scanning is disabled), and even when the phone is in airplane mode!
I don't know how to check if it's actually always on, but I noticed this both before and after the latest security update.

Where'd the ZIP go?

I set the Xposed app to install via manual flash because the other two methods kept freezing my phone. But I can't find the zips! Can someone please tell me where they are supposed to be and where they might be if they're not there? My device is a Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE (SM-i757M) on 4.0.4.

When you say "on 4.0.4" do you mean that is your android version? If so, you don't flash Xposed, you have to use the older apk version of Xposed

I have to flash it, the "Classical - Write to /system" and "Auto-flash" modes don't work. I know you have to flash it on Lollipop and above - I've already done that with another phone. but on this one I need to flash it using the apk. I just can't find where the app put the zip for me to flash manually.

You are on ICS, you do not flash Xposed, you install via the apk from here:http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer

Omg m8. I INSTALLED THE APK. The "Classical" install method and the "Recovery (Automatic)" install methods DO NOT WORK. There is also a "Recovery (Manual)" method. The app WRITES A ZIP TO THE INTERNAL STORAGE. Then you FLASH THAT ZIP. I cannot FIND that zip. That's what I asked for help with. As I said, I know you don't normally flash Xposed with a zip unless you're on Lollipop or above. I've been doing this for a long time, dude. I just can't find the zip the app wrote to the internal storage, and the app doesn't have a way to find out. Jeezus.

The Jeezus quick is completely unnecessary and uncalled for when somebody's trying to help you.
What version of the APK did you install and trying to use?

When installing via the apk, does it freeze during the install, or after it reboots?

It freezes during the install, but if you leave it for long enough it complains that it couldn't mount /system as rw even though it has root permissions and other apps can mount it as rw (I used ES File Explorer to delete some sounds and it worked fine.) As for the automatic flash method, it just never reboots. I guess calling the reboot action is just incompatible with my phone and/or ICS. Or maybe Philz Touch doesn't support it? I can't be sure.
