HOW TO: Unencrypt marshmallow nexus 6 without wiping!



Ok heres the guide!:

Ok so boot into bootloader mode and if your bootloader is not unlocked go and type
Code:
Fastboot oem unlock (This wipes data so you know it!)
. if you are unlocked already no need to do so. so next you go and type:


Code:


fastboot flash bootloader bootloadernamehere.img

and if your already unlocked and you didn't do fastboot oem unlock the bootloader won't erase your data if you flash it. and now do

Code:


Fastboot flash boot bootimagenamehere.img

and now enjoy your unencrypted phone! and you didn't loose anything.

Any way to rerun the setupwizard on my Nexus 6 without wiping data?



Long story short I was having issues running backup in TWRP. I was getting a E: createTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255

So I decided to risk a dirty flash and lost all my configuration and some of my apps. Yes, I made a mistake.

What I want to do is have the option that is available when I first setup the device to run an old backup from Googles servers. How do I do this?

Going from stock to stock (basically just wiping) while on CWM recovery



I'm already on the stock KK ROM (E98020g)., but with the CWM recovery. I just want to wipe everything while keeping the stock ROM, but I've seen that factory resetting or flashing stock ROMs while on a custom recovery will probably cause a some sort of brick...

I've already briefly seen the pinned stock ROM tutorial already. Before I try that (assuming it still works), can anyone tell me if there's a simpler way? It's going to take me a long time to go through that entire thread so it would be an immense help if someone could just tell me.



Unlocking the bootloader and Wiping Data



Hi,

I've did a little research about unlocking bootloader on the moto X Play and I found out that this process wipes all your phones data.

Question is....

Does the External SD Card remain untouched. So if I complete a Helium Backup and store that said backup on the External SD Card I will then be able to restore all my data back onto the phone?

As you may imagine the main purpose of the Unlocking Bootloader is to be able to root the phone and install custom ROM on it. The main issue I have with stock ROM is that the External SD card runs independent of the Internal Storage and I'm finding that I run out of room really quickly.

Is there a custom rom that will enable me to use MicroSD card to EXTEND internal storage?

Thanks
