Before I get into this guide I am going to start off with a disclaimer. If you break or harm your device. Or make it unbootable. This is not my fault, and you understand that you are doing this at your OWN RISK.
Now let's get into the guide!
Tip for Section Number #1: If you are having trouble using the windows file explorer or any other OS, use Sync by BitTorrent and sync files to your computer, I am not promoting the app for any self gain, just a suggestion
NOTICE: ROOTING THE N PREVIEW IS ONLY POSSIBLE USING A DECRYPTED DEVICE FROM MY KNOWLEDGE
This will be separated into sections. As listed below:
Installing Android N with working TWRP
Rooting Android N Preview
Enabling Permissive SELinux without a instant reboot
More may be added in the future!
Installing Android N with a working TWRP
Easier method :
If you have Marshmallow already installed, you can enroll your device for a OTA of Android N Developer Preview. Or you can install Marshmallow and then do the same.
Longer method :
Backup all your userdata files (I MEAN EVERYTHING!) this will erase all of your files if you want a working TWRP.
1. Download the Android N .tgz file for your device from here -=OPTIONAL=-Download the modifed boot image with decryption on boot disabled for your Preview version here
2. Decompress/extract every file. (the main file and the image directory) I would recommend having all of them in the same folder
3. Make sure you have fastboot, then open a terminal/command prompt in that folder - Shift + right click in windows then open command prompt here
4. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR DATA BACKED UP, THIS IS NECESSARY IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR FILES AND HAVING A WORKING TWRP - optional
5. Boot your device into the bootloader, power down your phone (this is for nexus 6p) and hold the power button + volume down until you see a Android figure laying down
6. Do the following commands in a terminal with fastboot installed - this is inferring you have a unlocked bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img - the modified one you downloaded, if you did.
fastboot flash recovery twrp-xxxxx-angler
fastboot format cache
fastboot flash cache cache.img
-=OPTIONAL, FOR DECRYPTION AND WORKING TWRP=-:fastboot format userdata - do not flash the userdata.img unless you have a 32gb Nexus 6P.
fastboot reboot
Now, once the device boots. Set it up and go to Settings>Security and under encryption if you want a working TWRP, it should say Decrypt phone. If not, look back and see if you did a step wrong.
Rooting Android N Preview xx
1. Download the latest BETA of SuperSU - or anything above 1.74. BETA onto your device's sdcard directory. (otherwise known as /storage/emulated/0/)
2. Reboot your device to TWRP by powering off your device, then holding the power button + volume down. Once in the bootloader, tap the volume down button until you land on Recovery. Then press the power button.
3. Go to the install section, and flash your SuperSU zip.
4. Reboot, it may reboot a few times. Let the device run it's course until it lands at the lockscreen, this is important.
Enabling a permissive SELinux without a instant reboot
Follow the guide here
In other words, download the logd file and copy and paste it to /system/bin/ then replace the other file after backing it up.
Then do
setenforce 0
in a terminal with root access on your device and then do getenforce to check if it's working.
This enables you to restore backups using Titanium backup, as it doesn't work without doing this.
Credits
Credit for SuperSU goes to @Chainfire
Credit for the modified boot.img goes to @Tigerstown
Credit for getting Permissive SELinux to work on Android N goes to @gubacsek
I do not take credit for any of the downloaded content, all of the downloaded files goes to their original creators.
PM me if anything is wrong, or edit this post!
Mods, if this post is in the wrong place. Move it to the correct place please!
Happy modding of your Nexus 6P on Android N Preview!

Yes, in some ways. But this thread is all the information from around XDA put in one place. As I haven't found a thread with the information put together like this.
Yeah, I agree. I had to hunt through several threads to find this when I updated both my 6P's to N the other day. I knew the info was out there, but was a PITA to find. Too bad you didn't put this thread up 3 days ago when I needed it LOL.
Just a quick FYI, it is possible to run rooted N with encryption. I just wrote a guide on how to do it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guide-android-nougat-developer-preview-t3410906
Bump
Great guise. Might use this later to finally flash android N. I just wished that xposed worked with Android N.

If you don't like to disable SELinux, you can simply change SELinux's policy using supolicy. Execute the following commands in the terminal:
Code:
supolicy --live "allow system_app shell_data_file dir { search read write }"
supolicy --live "allow system_app dalvikcache_data_file dir { write read add_name remove_name }"
supolicy --live "allow system_app dalvikcache_data_file file { create }"
supolicy --live "allow system_app shell_data_file file { read open write }"
The following commands are needed for AdAway (busybox required):
Code:
supolicy --live "allow untrusted_app system_data_file file { read write }"
supolicy --live "allow shell dalvikcache_data_file dir { read write }"
supolicy --live "allow shell shell capability { dac_override }"
supolicy --live "allow shell dalvikcache_data_file dir { write remove_name add_name }"
supolicy --live "allow shell dalvikcache_data_file file { create write read open }"
This doesnt work for me. I tried twice. I even tried the modified boot.img. both times it says in security encrypted phone. What do I do?

@XAL2 you don't need to be decrypted - scroll up to my last post in the thread and follow the instructions there to get N and keep encryption.

So do I have to flash back to Marshmallow stock then try to reflash N? Or do I just go into the bootloader and reflash the M vendor image flash twrp, boot into it flash super su, and then reflash the N vendor and reboot?
Can you dirty flash (wipe cache) N over M? My device is running a stock image + root + busybox, TWRP, encrypted. Can I just flash everything over (without recovery) via fastboot, root via TWRP, and be done with it?

That sounds like it would work to me - although I don't think you have to flash the M vendor image before you flash the recovery, you just can't have the N vendor image when you try to use twrp.

Technically, yes - check out this guide I wrote, it's actually for your exact scenario. The issue is that twrp doesn't play nice with N, but if you wait on the vendor image before you use twrp, you're good to go.

"Updating Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, and Pixel 6a devices to Android 13 for the first time
Warning: The Android 13 update for Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, and the Pixel 6a contains a bootloader update that increments the anti-roll back version for the bootloader. This prevents the device from rolling back to previous vulnerable versions of the bootloader. After flashing an Android 13 build on these devices you will not be able to flash and boot older Android 12 builds. For developers who need to develop and test against an Android 12 environment, a special Developer Support Build that contains the bootloader update should be used.
After taking an Android 13 update and successfully booting the device post update, an Android 12 build resides in the inactive slot (seamless updates for more information on slots) of the device. The inactive slot contains an older bootloader whose anti-rollback version has not been incremented. If the active slot is then flashed with a build that fails to boot, the fallback mechanism of seamless updates kicks in and the device tries to boot from the inactive slot. Since the inactive slot contains the older bootloader, the device enters an unbootable state.
To avoid hitting this state, if you are flashing a Pixel 6, Pixel 6a, or Pixel 6 Pro device with an Android 13 build for the first time, please flash the bootloader partition to the inactive slot"...
If you want to update to the Android 13 Factory image without wiping your phone: Do Flash Factory Image Keep Data (below).
Always verify you have the latest working version of SDK Platform-Tools installed on your computer before installing the Factory Image: Pixel 6 - oriole.
If you get an error while flashing, try one of these options:
Change the USB port to a non charging USB port.
Change the USB cord.
Change Computers.
If you phone bootloops
Press the Power button until the phone turns off.
Press the Power and Volume Down to boot the bootloader.
Open a Command Prompt in the SDK-Platform-tools folder or the folder that has adb.exe in it, and type adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules
then type
fastboot Reboot

For sure! Depending on your time committments that would be great.
When I go to patch the boot.img I get an error in Magisk
Code:
- Device platform: arm64-v8a
- Installing 92546e8a (23016)
! Process error
! Installation failed
In the logs, I see the following error in the stack trace
Code:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /storage/emulated/0/boot.img: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied)
It seems like Magisk doesn't have permission to access the boot image?
EDIT:
Nevermind, it was caused by the app I was using to select the file. I used Google's default Files app and that fixed it
As always, great work! Boomarked in case i have a brain fart

I'm assuming you have the latest version of SDK Platform-tools r. 31.0.3 installed on your computer, there are no typing errors on the command fastboot..., USB debugging is enabled, and fastboot.exe is in this folder:
C:\Users\Derek\Desktop
Try opening Command Prompt in this folder:

Then type:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched-23016_zt99Y.img to flash it.

What is FastbootD? How to Boot to FastbootD Mode
In this tutorial, we will explain you what is FastbootD Mode in Android, how to boot to FastbootD Mode and how to exit this mode.
www.droidwin.com
*Limitation of FastbootD
FastbootD not the same as regular "fastboot", impossible to use fastbootd without " Dynamic partition. etc., dynamic partitions are automatically created, resized, or deleted as needed.
*FastbootD has access in logical partition like Super Partition.
( have odm +product+vendor+system partition inside) , Because dynamic partitions are implemented in userspace, partitions needed by the bootloader can't be made dynamic. For example, boot, dtbo, and vbmeta are read by the bootloader, and so must remain as physical partitions.
then
You can't uses by fastbootD performed
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity flash vbmata vbmeta.img
✓ Not enough space to resize partition solution
Solution:
Removing stock system_ext and/or product from fastbootd is enough, like so:
***Don't uses this command
"fastboot delete-logical-partition product"
why ?
the product partition, with around 1.3GB in size isn’t even required by the GSIs.
then you can delete data on product partition.
*(Didn't delete product partition itself but deletes only data inside this partition , then android will auto-resize product'spartition.)
Do this.
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
Code:
fastboot erase product
set the size of the product partition to 0
Code:
fastboot resize-logical-partition product 0x0
To verify if the partition size has become 0.
Code:
fastboot getvar all
If one of the lines shows the below code, then the process is a success.
Code:
(bootloader) partition-size:product:0x0
