Huawei Nexus 6P :: OTA Update Download Location (On Device)?

Jan 16, 2016

I'm going to preface this with the nagging feeling I may be completely off-base with how I think OTA updates while rooted/custom recovery works, but here goes anyway.

I got my 6P at launch, and immediately went and rooted it. Everything's been fine except for the constant notification that there's an OTA update available. I've got TWRP right now, so just attempting to reboot through the system's standard update installation doesn't do anything.

I thought I'd just grab the manual updates and flash them from the web. I was positive I grabbed the right Before-to-After .zip, but trying to flash it through TWRP just results in it failing. Nothing breaks on the device, it just boots and runs normally, but I'd still like to get these updates installed.

What I'm currently thinking is that instead of chasing down build number update zips, I'd just use the downloaded one specifically and attempt to install it via TWRP. This poses the question:

1. Where does Marshmallow download OTA updates to when it attempts to flash them when you reboot?

and then the follow-ups:

2. Can I even do this via TWRP, or is there a different process that I should use that I've somehow totally missed?

3. Post-OTA update, will I need to re-root? (Not a big deal, just wanting to set my expectations)

Huawei Nexus 6P :: Android Device Manager And Last Known Location

Feb 21, 2016

Recently, a friend lost a phone. Apparently, it was turned off after being found. When going to Android Device Manager, it only indicated that it couldn't locate the phone. I thought that it would show its last known location, but it did not. Shouldn't it?

Huawei Nexus 6P :: Phone Not Showing Nearby Places With Location Services On

Dec 23, 2015

Currently the phone has location services on in battery saver mode with location history off. After updating to 6.0.1 or some new version of the phone app I have been unable to search for nearby places in app. The toggles for it have been turned on and off multiple times, turned the phone on and off, played with turning location settings on in different modes with the location history on and off in each scenario. Haven't tried clearing the cache and I don't find it to be a big enough problem to warrant a factory reset.

Huawei Nexus 6P :: Device Is Corrupted

Feb 1, 2016

I got my Nexus 6P the other day and immediately flashed CM13 on it, and came across a couple of problems. I used the following guide, step by step: (Can't post links. but it's on Devs-Lab)

So, first off, after finishing everything (Unlocking the bootloader, Rooting & Installing Recovery and finally installing CM13) I came across a couple of problems. Firstly, my phone refused to start as it couldn't be decrypted even though I never encrypted it or set a password for the encryption (which it asked me for, to decrypt) so I tried to factory reset the phone. Didn't work, formated the phone which did work and now it launches / works with no issues. However, every time I start the phone it tells me that the device is corrupted and can't be trusted.

Huawei Nexus 6P :: Cannot Access Device With ADB

Dec 4, 2015

I want to reflash my Nexus 6P with a custom version of the AOSP. I can't access the device using "adb devices".

Code:

adb devices
List of devices attached
???????????? no permissions

I guess I need to add an entry for Nexus 6P (and also for 5X) to the /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules file. For this, I need the idProduct code for these two phones.

Code:

# adb protocol on hammerhead (Nexus 5)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTR{idProduct}=="4ee1", MODE="0600", OWNER="paul"

Where can I find this code?

Huawei Nexus 6P :: Not Showing In Device Manager

Dec 19, 2015

I recently purchased a Nexus 6P, which I think is an absolutely brilliant device. Despite this I would like to mess around with it behind the scenes (root, different ROMs etc). Firstly I'd like to edit build.prop.As such as I have installed the Android SDK, installed the relevant things needed such as the USB drivers and platform tools. I've enabled USB debugging in the Developer Settings and ADB works fine when the phone is in normal mode. Booting in to fastboot mode also works.

Unfortunately, when I enter Recovery mode the phone disappears from ADB devices and from Device Manager on Windows. Strangely selecting the sideload option means the device shows up in both places, but I can't use the commands I want.

I've tried various official drivers, unofficial drivers and even edited the official drivers to add my hardware ID with no luck. I'm somewhat new to modern Android so I may be missing something obvious.

Huawei Nexus 6P :: Device Is Corrupted - No Command Error

Feb 4, 2016

Yesterday i got notification with new update that i have to setup, so after charging my phone at night i started the update this morning then boom I can't start my nexus anymore...

First I got message ( your device is corrupted. it can't be trusted and may not work properly ) although i didn't make any custom rom nor recovery nor unlock my boot loader

Second I got No command error , then boot loop all the way .....

After some google i tried to press power + volume up and down to enter recovery ( the stock recovery ). I did wipe cash + wipe data factory hoping it solve the problem but seems no way

Also i read Heisenberg's How-To Guide For Beginners many times and downloaded last Stock img but can't install it via fastboot cause i didn't activate usb debugging before nor “Enable OEM Unlock” so i can't even unlock my nexus.

Recovery version :
angler
6.0.1
MMB29P

And this is getvar all :
(bootloader) version:0.01
(bootloader) unlocked:no
(bootloader) hardware-revision:ANGLER-VN2
(bootloader) version-baseband:angler-02.50
(bootloader) version-bootloader:angler-02.45
(bootloader) display-panel:

Huawei Nexus 6P :: Can't Download Apps Or Updates On Play Store

Nov 23, 2015

I'm having issues with the Play Store and some non-Google sites. I'm constantly noticing that Play Store gets stuck in "Downloading" when trying to update apps or install new ones and never actually starts until I completely restart the phone. Chrome also gets stuck loading pages that are non-Google sites, and I can't seem to download anything as they all get queued.

I tried clearing cache + data on play store, play services, download manager and even a factory reset. Everything works when I reboot, but after some hours it get "stuck" again, every day. Happens on wifi and 3G; what's causing it.I'm running stock Nov build with root (not systemless). Same exact apps and config on my N5 and no issues there.

Huawei Nexus 6P :: Fastboot - Couldn't Create Device Interface Iterator

Nov 4, 2015

I've run into a rather odd issue with fastboot. It seems that any command entered comes back with the following:ERROR: Couldn't create a device interface iterator: (e00002bd)

There is no issue with adb, and I have tried re-installing both platform-tools and the entire SDK, but no luck. I don't run into this problem in Windows either,On further analysis, it looks like it has something to do with OSX. I've disable SIP and gatekeeper, and the issue still persists, so it looks like I'll just have to use windows for fastboot!

Huawei Nexus 6P :: Rooted Phone - Possible To Get OTA Update

Nov 13, 2015

I recently unlocked the bootloader and rooted my Nexus 6P and just this evening received an update for the November Security Update. This downloads fine but when the phone reboots to install, it just goes to TWRP and doesn't install.

This is most likely incredibly simple and stupid for me even to ask, but is it possible to install one I've unlocked/rooted?

Huawei Nexus 6P :: Some Files Not Showing After Update To 6.0.1

Dec 12, 2015

I am not rooted. I can access my phone through Windows 10. But I cannot see all my folders. The 2 that I am having problems with are my Camera and Music folders. Some of the files are there. When I use ES File Explorer I can see and access them fine. Right now I cannot pull off any of the photos or videos I take. This all happened after upgrading to 6.0.1. I have tried 2 different cables and 2 different computers with the same results. I have made sure that USB Debugging is enabled. I also made sure that I had PTP and MTP enabled. Also upgraded to the latest 6P drivers for Windows 10.

Huawei Nexus 6P :: DPI Changing Apps Not Working After Update

Jan 15, 2016

I am on stock rom, using SuperSU 2.66. I have tried using texdroider_dpi and one other app but they cannot change my dpi. It says it sets but then I reboot and I'm stuck on 560 dpi. I changed dpi in adb but some elements don't work such as my Swiftkey, the little blue diamonds for top devs in play store.

I assume this is a SuperSU issue but these DPI apps have worked since I first rooted this phone back in November. Only the current update has broken this.
