I'm new to the nexus line. Just wondering if OTA updates will work after rooting my device or do I have to return to stock to get the update? Currently I'm rooted stock , decrypted, and TWRP recovery installed. Should I return to full stock locked or what?

ive hear any alteration on the system files will stop the ota from installing. i assume that means recovery as well

sheloga is correct. You'd have to revert back to full stock or wait for someone to make a flashable zip.
Can't you just flash the stock recovery and take the OTA? Or do you have to fully unroot and reflash the factory image?
I would like to pay close attention time to this thread because that is one is the main questions that I have. I hear so many different solutions towards this. I usually wait for a flashable zip but I would want to see someone either wrote a write up or make a video. Subscribed.
My understanding (from looking at the lollipop OTA updater-script) is it checks EVERY file for changes, including other partitions. You must be 100% stock with nothing extra in system (SuperSU apk or busybox etc).

get and being able to apply are two differing things. unless you make it so you cant receive, then you will get an ota. problem is, that you will not be able to apply the update. 1. you can flash the factory img. 2. you can wait for someone to upload a flashable zip. 3. or you can do what most noobs do, and waste your time. what most noobs do is unroot, and flash the stock recovery, then wait for the update.
BLUF: wait until OTA is made available in a recovery flash method. 90% of the time the OTA updates are patching security holes and other less important features.
Having been with a handful of different android devices in the past several years, I've always gone the route of flashing from recovery vs. OTA.
The LG G3 for example had an OTA just recently that broke rooting. It was fixed by a Dev, but that's the only update found in OTA.

Once you root the phone you cannot receive OTA updates. However, you arent out of luck when updates are released. Because you have a custom recovery, its easy to just download the update file when its released and install it that way. Once the AOSP updates are uploaded from Google, its all yours. Most people who dont receive their OTA and dont have a custom recovery will typically install it on their own but using ADB.

I read in one of RootSU's threads (I think) that as of Lollipop, OTA via ADB sideload is the only option to apply an update. Any thoughts?

After Android 5.0, you can't sideload the OTA file if you have made any changes to the system partition. You need to be completely stock to take OTA. You can just download the new factory images and extract the various img files from it and just flash those manually in ADB, thereby overwriting your modified system partition with the new factory system image (you can skip overwriting the userdata if you want to preserve your data). No need to revert back to stock (old image) and then take OTA - unnecessary step.

I understand what your saying. Is there any difference between the OTA and AOSP? Like modem or kernel? I actually like the stock on this device. It seems like there are problems with the AOSP ROMS that are available now such as Netflix and Play Movies not working.
I'm coming from Samsung devices which were completely different as far as rooting and return to stock. I would go to SamMobile to get the stock firmware on my Galaxy S5. Where do I find stock firmware for the nexus?

You need to install ADB and fastboot. After that, you can use the 'fastboot' command directly from Terminal. I've found that the easiest way to update Lollipop on my Nexus 6 is to:
Download image from Google
Decompress the archive, AND the second archive which was contained within the first one. Note: The recovery, boot, and system images are in the second archive.
Open Terminal, change directory to the extracted folder, and run these commands (they skip overwriting the userdata partition):
fastboot flash bootloader <bootloader file name here>.img
fastboot flash radio <radio file name here>.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader (VERY IMPORTANT TO DO THIS STEP)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot
You need to restore root at this point; you can use these instructions if you're unfamiliar with the procedure.

The ota checks if everything is stock before flashing and being rooting will cause it to fail.

People usually modify the update script to remove all asserts and then the ota flash able zip will work.

You'd have to download the ota then edit it. OTA is not the only option either. There are full ROM.zip available to flash from recovery too or even fastboot flash the system and boot images.
One problem removing the asserts can cause is if you modify your ROM in any way besides root, you can be patching with the ota, mismatched code...
I've been searching for ages on how to receive the OTA update while rooted with TWRP recovery.
To add on to the difficulty, I have a mac so all the directions and steps I've seen are for windows users (the whole fast boot everything except user or something).
Can anyone link me to the stock ROM that someone mentioned in this thread or at least give a or give me a link to a step by step instruction on how to update on a rooted Nexus 6 running twrp? encrypted as well.

The steps are easy,
1. New OTA?
2. Download zip (not the official OTA but a modified OTA script that removes asserts)
3. Flash the zip
4. You have new OTA.
Even easier because you wont have to wait for the OTA to come to you and can flash the OTA.
Its not really difficult

Google publishes fastbootable images for all Nexus updates. Just do a google search for "factory images for nexus devices".
A little warning... they need some **very trivial** modification before being written, or they will wipe your phone's userdata.

Where does one find a modified OTA script that removes "asserts"?
I have a nexus 6. I have been using custom ROMs from the days of xperia mini pro. Never had a Nexus before. I want to have root in my nexus 6 for ad blocking cereberus and more. But this time I don't want custom ROMs. I just need the OTA's. I know OTA's dont happen automatically after root. So please tell me should I root and put a custom recovery, Or just root for manually updating the OTA's. Where can I get all the OTA's ?? I know it's a lot of questions.. Please.
Quick answer: Isn't going to happen.
Reason: Lollipop wont install OTA if you modify /system, because it is now written as a block, unlike previous versions of android.
IF you root, you have modified /system.
Consequence: you will not update by OTA while rooted. It will fail.
Possible workaround: You can however AFAIK, unroot and then take an OTA, but I'll let others confirm this, please don't take me saying it as factual.
Factory image flash: always works, but you have to await the release after the updates.

FWIW: I would recommend that you:
1) Unlock bootloader
2) Decide if you want uncrypted kernel, or not (since it wipes data, just like unlocking bootloader).
3) Fastboot flash TWRP recovery.
4) Download SuperSU .zip and flash it in recovery.
5) Now, when a new OTA comes out, they usually show up here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/ref-nexus-6-stock-ota-urls-t2906493
6) You can download your current factory image here > https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
7) Unzip your current factory image. Fastboot flash the system.img and that will unroot and restore the stock recovery.
8) Fastboot flash the stock boot.img if you have a custom kernel (or an unencrypted stock kernel).
9) Relax and wait for the OTA.

You can just update in fastboot without an OTA. Just flash the new bootloader, system and possibly the new boot.img in fastboot and reroot. Erase and flash cache.img afterwards. Thats how i do it at least.

Yup.
@rw_1 @cam30era thanks guys
I would do what gee2012 said.
From what I have seen the OTA and the images are released pretty close together.
Instead of flashing images to get back to stock and waiting for the OTA. and then re-rooting
Just download the image files from Google. Manually flash all the files EXCEPT user data if you want to keep your data.
Re-root.
You are now updated and don't have to wait for OTA.
Either way works so it depends on which you are happier with.

Just to be sure I understood right:
If I don't care about app data or settings ( I have titanium backup),
1)I can just unlock the boot loader
2)Flash the latest factory image from [developers.google.com/android/nexus/images]
3)Root using chain fire's tool
And repeat the process when the factory image of the next version is uploaded by google.
one last thing... Does Google upload factory images after each OTA happens?

When you unlock the bootloader it will wipe the contents of your SD card. Make sure it is backed up on your PC.
Unfortunately, not every OTA gets published as a factory image. Most, but not all. Case in point: LMY47M.

I noticed that.... But that build is only for T-Mobile users, I guess...
Minor Differences, for example; If you take the android builds for Indian phones they are required by law to display the SAR rating. So I wouldn't worry about LMY47M, unless they have changed something to fix the memory leaks.

Correct. M is intended for T-Mobile. My point, though, is that Google doesn't always, 100% of the time publish a factory image for every OTA.
Hello All,
A few months ago I got a Nexus 6 as a replacement for a Moto 2014. I love Nexus devices and used to flash roms back in the day and now I am a little lost. I followed some instructions when I first got the device on how to set up Root using WUGFresh Root Tool Kit: http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/ I also installed TWRP recovery. I can't remember how I actually got here because I did it a while back. I rooted and set up a custom recovery.
I am on 5.1.1 at the moment.
Kernel Version: 3.10.40-gc16a3c6
[email protected] #1
Tue Jul 28 17:58:25 UTC 2015
Build Number:
LMY48W
Im on AT&T
I can't remember how I actually got here because I did it a while back. I rooted and set up a custom recovery (I think) and I basically started from scratch and had to reinstall everything. I want to update to Marshmallow and I have a few questions.
1.) If I do update it to the Marshmallow 6.0.1 will I lose all my data and installed programs?
2.) Where can I get the closest to stock Marshmallow 6.0.1 or 6.0 for the Nexus 6?
3.) Whats the best way to install it?
4.) If I get an OTA should I install it? What will happen if I do?
Sorry for all the NEWB questions. I got so lost in all the documentation, references, XDA developers, multiple versions of custom recoveries I can't figure out what I did anymore and I can't figure out what to do!
TLDR: I have a Nexus 6 on 5.11 LMY48W, phone is rooted, I have TWRP, how can I get step by step instructions to install the best and most up to date Marshmallow for Nexus 6?
First and foremost: Please, don't use rootkits and toolkits, the Marshmallow updates come fast, toolkit developers will always be a step behind. Not to mention, that if something goes sideways (and wirh Marshmallow it probably will), you won't have the knowledge to fix it.
So:
4) You're rooted, you won't get an OTA
1) Since you won't get an OTA, you must flash by hand, and you should always do a clean install when doing a version upgrade
3) Now you can decide if you do a full factory setup, with flashall, or you can choose to learn how to flash images one by one, then if you don't flash userdata, and you do the factory reset from a custom recovery, you'll have all your files intact. But the stock recovery deletes everything when doing factory reset.

Thanks. Since I am using the Nexus 6 do you recommend that I set it back to factory settings to get the OTA updates? If so what is a good link for instructions to do that? Thanks!
As long as you are going from stock to stock, you can skip the factory reset - I've done that all this time, and have never had an issue. Just flash using fastboot (don't use flash-all), and skip the step to flash userdata.

If you have TWRP installed, you can download the 5.0 image to the phone and restart in recovery.
If you don't have an alternative recovery on your Nexus 6, then you'll hav eto flash from a PC via USB with the adb/fastboot from Google.

You can downgrade... just download factory image 5.1.1 then flash it via adb.
i don't Recommend xposed, but if you want, just flash it.
If you want xposed, why don't you use Marshmallow? Xposed is available (heck, even systemless xposed with Magisk).
To clear up any confusion, you can keep your phone on the latest TWRP recovery, bootloader, and radio and just flash any older ROM no matter if it's based on N, M, or L. Doing an entire factory image is 100% not necessary. If you flash the whole factory image from Google you will wind up with outdated bootloader and radio, and also you will have to put TWRP on it again as it will replace the recovery with stock recovery.

I totally agree - downgrade to 6.0.1, not 5.1.1 - xposed is available for Marshmallow, no need to step back all the way to Lollipop.
