It seems the n9 is eligible. Anyone has tried or thinking of trying? I might try
Flashing it right now. Just going to miss root, so u can drop my DPI and restore some apps.
Edit: sweet!! Though you can't fine tune the size, it now has default a way to change screen size/DPI. Now I'm only needing root to restore some apps and data.
Works pretty well for me so far, except for the fact that kernel support for libusb is gone, which stops my Headunit app from working over USB.
No root yet.
Recovery is replaced with stock recovery after a reboot.
There is more discussion in popular phone threads, like the one for Nexus 6p.
I opted in for the Android N program. Received the OTA and installed but the install FAILED. Now I can't boot and can't install an image because my bootloader is locked. Am I screwed?
EDIT: It's stuck on the "Google" screen

Well I don't think the kernel if it had libusb stopped supporting it.
Because this is pretty much what changed in it https://github.com/USBhost/FIRE-ICE/commit/b88667be3ca75cdfd67269e25fb43956d78004c9
the defconfig. I ripped the defconfig from the kernel image, and I applied the needed changes to my defconfig.
edit:
if you want the N defconfig here you go https://github.com/USBhost/FIRE-ICE/commit/afdf42bd4af6aa042b9d9997de91d3e60c9ccc7e
Has somebody released N kernel source ?
I don't think there is any /dev/bus/ directory, never mind /dev/bus/usb/... but I'd feel more positive about that if I had root to verify.
I registered my Nexus 9 for the beta and got the OTA. But it failed with an ERROR (android on it's back with a !). It then rebooted and gets stuck at the Google logo for hours. My Nexus 9 was completely stock on 6.0.1. I downloaded the factory image, but I cannot unlock the device to flash it. All guides seem to say I need to enable Developer Options and enable USB Debugging, but since I can't boot into Android, I can't go that far. Am I screwed?
sorry to tell you but yep!
you can try talking to Google to see if they can fix it.
So being straight laced and not rooting actually bricked my tablet? What the hell....
No, just wipe everything except internal. You have to extract the last image.sksmsksjssksm whatever zip. Then just fastboot flash each file individually.Couldn't flash mine, always have "missing system.img" and "unable to allocate -xxxxx bytes"... Didn't have much time, I will try again later. Do I need to come from clean stock to flash it ?
Will I be able to recover if the Android N preview fails on my Nexus 9 by unlocking the bootloader and enabling USB debugging beforehand then install Android N preview?
I agree 100%. This N build has transformed my Nexus 9.NPC56X running very well for me. In fact, I have had no issues at all. Daily driver on my N9. I'm very impressed that an early beta is this good.
Will the Nexus 9 get Android N now that Google have dropped the device?
