I own a nexus 6P and i have a few threads over there. one is for modified boot.imgs i have been getting a lot of PM asking if i could make one for the 5x so i did and it has been tested by @RTNDO128
So this is a decrypted and DM checks have been removed. flastboot this boot.img when flashing N preview factory imgs. Also i will be posting a MM modified boot.img the has DM removed removed force/encryption and custom sepolicy to allow system root. but for now here is the N boot.img

DIRECTIONS

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Hy guys, if i have the April N Preview on my n5X can i use this method to decrypt it? do i have to use only the code "fastboot flash boot boot.img" in fastboot (after have put my n5X in fastboot mode)? or do i have to compute some "erasing" in order to avoid bootloop?
i ask you that 'cause i want avoid to do the installation of N preview again

thnks Guys

To my knowledge you need to decrypt phone then flash N and before boot flash decrypt boot img then boot twrp then flash super su 2.71. To be decrypted rooted N.

Now to begin that process you need a decrypted phone which is why i am waiting for m decrypt boot begore i proceed.

Tigerstown can correct me if i am wrong.

Yes, you can use this method to decrypt your 5X.
To begin, make sure that you have backed up everything on your internal storage, since everything will be removed. It will basically be like a fresh start.

Boot your 5X into bootloader mode and connect it to the PC.
Flash the modified boot.img (The one you have downloaded from above):
Code:
```
fastboot flash boot boot.img
```

After that is done, decrypt your 5X:

Code:

fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache

No bootloop guarantee, until you do something different than this. :victory:

This is exactly what I was just going to reply. If your on N flash boot.IMG and decrypt using fastboot like said above.

Awesome Im running android m with force encryption removed (fed patcher).
I want to upgrade it to N without loosing data : I think I have to flash THIS boot, recovery, Bootloader, vendor, cache, and system image files. I'm not flashing Userdata instead.
Is it right for having android N devrypted?

Yes, perfectly alright. Avoid the recovery image, in case you have TWRP installed.

that is How I do it on my 6P. After flashing I boot to twrp and do factory reset myself. You don't need to flash the N recovery.

Many thanks @Tigerstown !!
This DP2 is actually really nice. I tried it with encryption, had a couple of bugs, but now unencrpyted, everything runs pretty smoothly and no bugs so far.
Love the new ergonomy improvements... no root needed anymore.

Op has been updated added MM MCH19q support. Still have to work on sepolicy for system root on 5x like I have it for 6P. Once I get it right I'll update with that.

Should have time tomorrow after work to get that done. Should is the key word ????. You feel like testing for me when I do? I have no 5X or I would of course do it myself. Lol
