[How-to]flash Android M Preview -without- wiping your Userdata or Force Encrypt - Nexus 6 Android Development

Google just released the M preview for the Nexus 6 and I see some guys having some issues with flashing the preview, So what I did is just modify on the kernel not to encrypt the device during the first boot
and here is the simplest way to flash the preview
1-Download the preview factory image http://developer.android.com/preview/download.html
2-download this modified version of the stock M boot img https://goo.gl/SFWpMO
3-unpack the M preview .tgz file in your fastboot/adb folder and you will get the radio file and the bootloader file and the image-shamu-MPZ44Q.zip file
4-go to TWRP backup your ROM then wipe cache/dalvic/data/system ( watch out don't wipe the internal storage)
5-boot into bootloader and flash the bootloader : fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-shamu-moto-apq8084-71.11.img
6-fastboot reboot-bootloader
7-flash the radio file : fastboot flash radio radio-shamu-D4.01-9625-05.16+FSG-9625-02.94.img
8-fastboot reboot-bootloader
9-Unpack the image-shamu-MPZ44Q.zip file
10-you need just system.img from this file
11-flash the system : fastboot flash system system.img
12-flash the modified boot img that you downloaded in step 2 : fastboot flash boot boot-noencryption.img/B]
13-fastboot reboot
You also use NRT for flashing the M Preview if you prefer but flash the noencrption boot img instead of the stock img in order to avoid encrypting your device
It won't take time to boot but it's really important to wipe from twrp before flashing and as always try this on your own risk

Can't wait to flash thanks!!

Can we use wugs toolkit to flash this stuff?

First impressions of M? Looks and feels just like Lollipop?

wrong topic :/ Thought this was Wug's Topic.

Anyone who is going to brave flashing the new radio with a Verizon Nexus 6, let me know how it is

Thanks in advance.

Did you even read anything at all?
He has modified so it does not force encrypt for those who have unencrypted internal SD cards.

How can you take tone in a text? Was it all caps? Did I call you a name?
It was simply a question. Nothing more, nothing less.
And then I explained it for you.
Not sure where the nasty part was.

I need the Stock Recovery for T329w as by mistake flashed Single sim recovery. I am from India and using Stock ROM with JB (version 4.1.1).
Flashing the "recovery_signed.img" inside the folder of this Download would be helpful?
Please reply.

There is a dual sim rom in one of these threads, flash that and after that flash the correct stock recovery.
And next time read carefully because this forum is not for the the Desire X dual sim

Searched, couldn't find any dual sim roms apart from the one in this thread
EDIT - or maybe it's this one? it's compatible with dual sim http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46730392&postcount=30
thanks for your help though..
This is what i plan to do :
Download and flash TWRP for t329w
Transfer http://pan.baidu.com/s/122oNL (version 1) to SD Card and the recovery_signed.img and boot_signed.img to SC Card
Reboot phone to recovery
Choose Wipe then Swipe to Factory Reset
or the best is Select Advance Wipe, tick all except sdcard then swipe to wipe
Select Install and select the version1 rom.zip then swipe to confirm flash
Wait until the installation is finished
Reboot phone to fastboot and connect it to your PC
Open command prompt, lead it to folder where you installed adb and fastboot and issue commands:
fastboot flash recovery C:\recovery_signed.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
fastboot flash boot c:\boot_signed.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

One last thing, I forgot to mention I had taken a NAndroid backup before installing the ROM. I restored it and did a full wipe/factory reset, but I think the kernel is the problem (it shows the kernel used by the single sim ROM)
So as of now, I'm just going to flash the boot and recovery, coz boot_signed should change the kernel.
Also, this folder contains other images such as radio, hboot, dzdata etc. what are these for and would they help?
Thanks a lot for your help!!

There's a guy on FB who had a similar problem. He said he flashed a "brushed" ROM from a chinese forum (i got the links), well if you translate it means a modified ROM for the dual sim, right? He also said he was missing the RUU. Any help here would be appreciated.. Thanks a lot!
Heres what he said

After restoring Nandroid, just fastboot flash the boot_signed.img and reboot and see whether it boot. It should work if the custom recovery is working well for your device. No need to fastboot flash recovery_signed.img first. Just boot and see whether it works. If it works then only you fastboot flash the recovery_signed.img if you want to.
Don't worry about other images as you can't flash those on a S-On device.

Inside your nandroid backup there is a file boot.emmc.win, this is your stock boot.img
So fastboot flash this one with command
fastboot flash boot boot.emmc.win

What do you mean shows Error : Cannot open boot.emmc.win ? boot.emmc.win is created by a TWRP recovery only. If there is one you don't have to "open" it, just copy it to your fastboot folder
Now you mentioned you use nexus prime as the recovery do you mean you use NexusRecovery ? Can you list here the file names inside the nandroid backup ? I don't think you have boot.emmc.win in NexusRecovery

Hmm, i went to Nandroid restore > Advanced restore > Restore boot
doesn't boot.
tried restoring the whole backup, doesn't boot.
even a wipe data/factory reset doesn't make it boot!
Will taking it to an HTC centre help? (I'm ready to pay some amt of money.)
Oh no... you don't know what fastboot flash means ? It is not using the recovery to restore boot. You need to copy the boot.img to your PC where you have all your fastboot files in a folder.
Try again this way as I don't have my PC with me. Replying to you with someone else PC.
In my ROM threads, you will see Boot.img_Installer_RCx.x.zip in post #1. Download any of them then do the following
1. Download theBoot.img_Installer_RCx.x.zip and extract it on your PC desktop
2. Reboot your DX to bootloader and connect to your PC (you should see the word "fastboot usb" in red color on the bootloader)
3. Open the Boot.img_Installer_RCx.x folder that you extracted, you should see a batch file Install Boot.img.bat there
4. Replace the boot.img with your boot.img (don't use the one that already in the folder). Try the boot_signed.img that you have, rename it to boot.img
5. Run that Install Boot.img.bat and when it stop just press any key to exit
6. Reboot
And yes, taking it to HTC centre will help but of course you need to pay them

Ohh, I just read it properly. I know what fastboot flash means. Using Android SDK > Platform tools > Shift+rightclick > open as command prompt > fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
I've already done it. This boot_signed.img in this thread seems weird.
After installing the custom ROM, restoring my nandroid backup, my phone was booting, but without the sim being recognized.
So I fastboot flashed the above (second post of this thread) boot_signed.img from c:\
But THAT boot_signed.img led to my phone being stuck in a bootloop > white start screen > turns black > try switching it on again > same thing
Hoped I could restore the nandroid boot using recovery advanced restore, but didn't work.
Will try fastboot flashing the MIUI boot.img (coz that's what was working initially, though without a sim, and the one in this thread's second post doesn't have a source), atleast that should get my phone booting. And will try searching for the boot of my nexus recovery backup, coz that will be the stock boot.img.
My last thing before I go to HTC .

Cant flash via fastboot, flash in recovery using method install. Make sure you have pure stock sense6 rom. Otherwise, it will fail to install OTA, no brick no worries, just fail and need to repeat process.
Ok. I will try tonight. Thanks a lot.
Edit : failed. i'm a bit confused with the steps really. i flash stock recovery but when i reboot to recovery the triangle and ! picture comes out. what i should do really? it would be very nice of you if you can teach me from step 1. thanks. sorry for asking too much.

[SOLVED] Upgrade Nexus 9 from CM12 to CM13 - Stuck on Google screen

Hi Folks
did a bit of looking around but can't seem to find an answer to my problem.
Long and short of it is that I am running CM12.1 (recent nightly) and TWRP 2.8.7.1 - rooted and unlocked BL. I grabbed a few of the recent CM13 nightlies and OpenGApps for ARM64 to see if I could upgrade. Flashed a nightly, formatted cache/dalvik etc. and got stuck on the first reboot on the Google screen. Tried this with a few different nightlies with same result. Thought it might be my issue, so did a factory reset but that made no difference.
Is there something else I should be doing moving from CM12.1 to CM13? I see a few posts with people having to flash vendor.img on stock but am not sure what that means and if it applies to my situation on CM.
Any help appreciated, thanks in advance.
You must install stock 6.0.1 first to get te latest boot.img and vendor.img on your N 9.
Than you can flash CM 13 without problems.
Thanks. Do I have to flash stock or could I just flash the vendor and boot images manually with fastboot?

You may be able to get by with just vendor.img (via fastboot). The /vendor partition is where all the drivers & firmware are kept. I think the CyanogenMod .zip file flashes over /boot, but I could wrong.

I can confirm that the following worked:
Download latest Google image from here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en
Reboot into fastboot mode
Extract the image and find vendor.img wihtin the folder structure
run "fastboot flash vendor vendor.img"
Reboot into recovery
Flash latest CM 13.x
Flash OpenGapps
Wipe Cache/Dalvik
Reboot
Thanks for the suggestion @dmantilal

Good to know. Thanks for the confirmation (and cleanly formatted post).
Can confirm that flashing boot is optional.

[DUMP] ZenWatch 2 (sparrow, WI501Q) Build M6E70C

Inspired by this thread!
Dumped via non-flashed (only live booted) TWRP so I can dump the original recovery too.
Can be flashed in fastboot mode!
To flash these images reboot your watch, swipe from the top left to the bottom right corner when you see the ASUS logo and connect it to your PC.
Then in a command line enter:
Optional (wipes the device): fastboot -w
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img

If you need more partitions tell me below, I've only included these ones so far because I know they won't contain any personal or device specific information and should be flashable on other devices too. However I've dumped every single one existing on the ZW2
ok i ve flashed every single file and also did a wipe before, now i get stuck in the boot screen, before it i was on the 7.x rom from this forum. do u have any idea how to solve this problem? i got the WI501Q

Seas!
Did you do "fastboot -w"? That'll wipe all userdata. Then flash the images.

Did you get any error message while flashing? And is your bootloader unlocked?

No I didn't get a single one, and yes it is. :/
Guess if I could install the TWRP and flash this on the watch, would this be possible?

You have to unlock your bootloader first.

Yea, the bootloader was every single time i tried to install this one unlocked, before flashing, after wiping.. again and again.. always stuck on bootscreen. The only thing i can see is the ASUS logo with some other things, but no boot.

Why would you want to relock your bootloader anyways?
Unlock it now, format via -w, flash boot, recovery and system and then try to boot the watch.

Just flash the in post 1 mentioned images and wait, you don't have to close the bootloader.
The ZenWatch is the first watch that I flash, I keep stock in the Fastboot mode!, How do I solve this
Property of WebWear 2.0 according to your instructions flasht and now stands the Stock Asus Screen
Your command fastboot flash system system.img is wrong it must be fastboot flash system.simg
Since I still had an old WebWear 2.0 system.img in the folder it came to the Bootscreen Stock

I did the process of flashing the images given in the OP and all worked fine . Just to add , I did fastboot oem unlock first, then fastboot -w, and then followed the instructions given in the OP.
All worked just fine and I'm back to AW 1 .5.
Cheers.
Cannot Load "system.img" Error
Can someone please help me downgrade back to 1.5? I'm seriously so mad that I'm about to throw my Zenwatch 2 in the garbage. Two days of trying to do this and nothing. I'm good until I get to the "fastboot flash system system.img" command line. I'm keep getting an error saying cannot load "system.img". I'm so angry I can barely see straight. Can someone please offer some guidance?
Update: I found the problem. I was so mad that I realized that I just kept entering "fastboot flash system system.img" instead of "fastboot flash system system.simg". All good now thankfully.

How I can return stock rom after root and put twrp

Hello
I just rooted my honor view 10 BKL-L09, I tested the rom CosmicOs but it does not suit me. How to return to the original rom? I tried to put the UPDATE.app file in a directory "dload" but I get a failed error, I tried to extract the files but I do not understand what I have to do.
Do you have a detailed procedure for walking on to hand over the official rom?
Thank you
Extract system, recovery_ramdisk and ramdisk. Boot to bootloader flash recovery and ramdisk.
Boot to recovery do full wipe.
Reboot to bootloader flash system. Reboot and enjoy.

I extracted the highlighted items, is that it?
https://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2018/21/7/1527420105-capture-update.png
That's what I did but it does not work :
1) fastboot flash ramdisk RAMDISK.img
2) fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img
3) recovery boot => wipe all data, cache, ...
4) reboot in fastboot mode
5) flashboot flash system SYSTEM.img
Now my phone restarts in a loop.
Do not wipe from twrp

first, check this
I Want you to try this go to twrp>mount system and check if system partition have files and it is intact, if not you need to flash whole rom again or a new RoM (asop or anything to boot it)
next, open fastboot mode and flash this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-view-10/how-to/stock-recovery-getting-to-stock-t3754797
this is a stock recovery steps are given about how to install it , once you are on stock recovery,
open recovery clear cache and perform factory wipe once done it should boot if system partition is intact
NEVER PERFORM WIPE FROM TWRP, it seems buggy screwed my device too

Hi i have a big problem. I have download the last bkl EU rom, 160 build, i flashed 3 files but the device get bootloop and i don't know what i can do.
Anyway when i buy the device i had 141 build, then i unlocked and try trwp with carbon.
For to return to stock i flashed the 3 files from 160 build. Maybe i have to take 3 files from 141 build? Because i had this build how base rom?
You flashed the 3 download files from hwff? Then u have to flash the No check recovery before.

I downloaded it but gave me the same error at 5% of process. I bought the device in amazon Italy so the european stock rom must work.
Any idea?
I followed the suggestion to flash the stock recovery but now I've no access to the system and not to the bootloader. With twrp at least I could go in fastboot mode. Now I can flash nothing and the device goes in loop without system. And factory reset gives an error at 10-12%

Ok now I had success in enter in fastboot.
The stock file is the same you posted (22th may).
This one doesn't work with the dload power+up+down.
So I want to extract the 3 files, I put in profile "unknown" (or other) but when I select the folder of update.app returns this error: ERECOVERY_VBMET.img: Invalid header crc -Expected: 14228 Got: 54798
Ok I disabled the check of headers to solve that problem
