I'm definitely doing that. Should be getting my Nexus 9 either today or tomorrow by Amazon. I bought it just for Android N. Have you contacted HTC yet?

I wasn't expecting Android N to be able to brick a nexus device, that's really unexpected, I think google should have mentioned about the off chance of that happening and suggesting enable USB debugging

yeah, that was strange that they say lte and no radio. if i was in your shoes i'd get into a recovery and wipe system and then flash the 6.0 system.img then boot to see if it solved that boot issue. when you went back to 6.0 the first time did you wipe system partition?

I got Android N through the Beta Program and OTA Update - everything went smoothly. But now I can't shut down my Nexus 9. Whenever I try, it starts again.

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?

Unlocking bootloader doesn't require Android.

If you can put the device into fastboot mode, and have fastboot on a USB connected PC you just need to run "fastboot flashing unlock" or similar.

USB debugging is something you can only enable once Android is running.

well Google did release the source for it but... they goofed on it
Check it out :) https://github.com/USBhost/FIRE-ICE/tree/android-tegra-flounder-3.10-n-preview-1

BTW my kernel works on the N preview

Hmm, I have USB working now after flashing phh's permissive kernel: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65748721&postcount=291

So,... maybe Google is "protecting" /dev/bus/usb with SELinux in N ? It seems more gets added to the SELinux rules with each major release.
