How to Install ??:confused::confused:

Method One: Via cmd
Download the preview directly from :
http://developer.android.com/preview/download.html#top
then follow:
1.You need to setup adb and fastboot
Let's setup ADB and fastboot

Windows:
- You can use my ReducedSDK Kit from Here
- Automated: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2588979 (follow the steps in the software)

- Manual Method:

Download this file and extract the folder called "adb" to your C: drive. Your path should look like this:


Code:
C:\adb\
You will need to open a command prompt window using this method:

Code:
- Go to the C:\adb\ folder 
- hold down SHIFT key and RIGHT-CLICK 
- select "Open command window here".
In order to use ADB & Fastboot from anywhere - use the following steps to setup windows environment variables:

Navigate to & click on Start > Right-Click on Computer > click on Advance System Settings >
Click on Environment Variables (under the advanced tab) > Click on New (User Variables) >
Variables Name: ADB (Or anything you want) Variables Value: ;C:\adb (this is the Path of my adb.exe file)

Mac & Linux:
you can use the reduced SDK as in attachments or :

Install ADB & fastboot using: this file

1. Extract the downloaded zip to your desktop
2. Open Terminal and type in:


Code:
su
cd Desktop/Android/ (note: Android is the directory extracted from zip file)
3. Now type

Code:
./ADB-Install-Mac.sh
Note: By using the method above, your adb and fastboot files are stored at this location on your Mac: /usr/bin/

----
^I have taken 90% of this from @vomer 's installation procedure for flashing android M on shamu


2.Backup all contents of your phone ,your phone will be completely wiped in this process
3.Extract the downloaded android m .tgz file and further the tar file in it .
(If using the ReducedSdk) then :place the ReducedSdk file in this folder
4.Connect your phone with your pc in fastboot mode (boot using Volume down and Power button)
5.click flash all and wait..
6.Enjoy Android M :D
For linux users
After step 3
{IN TERMINAL }cd to the directory having the extracted files and then run
Code:
 sudo ./flash-all.sh

All those having problem installing or bootloops
either factory reset via stock recovery or See : Here
Method 2:Via Recovery

Hi,

something else: there was a post in the MultiROM thread about BOKROM, where a TWRP backup usable with MultiROM has been provided. Look here http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/development/rom-cm12-unofficial-hammerhead-gapps-t2969820. In the OP there is a "Special Download: M Preview 2 Backup *** NEW ***"
It works for me.

Hi all. I made a working flashable ZIP for M Preview 2. Working on my N5, with root.
http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/development/rom-android-m-preview-2-flashable-zip-t3157299
I also fixed Titanium Backup not showing previous backups


For anyone who wants, i built stock kernel with root support, in sync with the MPZ79M sources, it fixes video issues with M DP2.

https://mega.nz/#!zUJyDaBD!SyCb_F2icUO9PBHQSY7kzu35ut9_e-6N36khoxGEkU8

it's only the zImage as i made no modifications on ramdisk. You MUST flash stock MPZ79M boot.img, and then as usual flash this with "fastboot flash zimage zImage-dtb"



PS: Thread on Portal .Thanks for your support :D

Any chance there'll be a modified kernel with permissive or disabled SELinux when this ROM gets updated to a flashable zip? Just wondering. I'm already on M Preview but I hear that the kernel change is like the only way to use root for now until SuperSU is updated.

Normally @sykopompos and/or his team seem to come up with this first i believe
