Nothing but bootloops on my Nexus 5.

Did you wipe? You should always do it on big updates.

You don't need titanium backup on Marshmallow, it will backup app data to the cloud now and restore when you reinstall an app etc.

Didn't know this, that's a great feature!

 

[Reppyboyo]

Yep, full wipe as usual.
Still trying to get it to boot with no luck. Back to 5.1.1 it would seem.

Wonder if there'll be a custom M rom for the note 2 I can try before I shell out for the 6P. Would love to have a play about with it, but there isn't even a stable L ROM out there for this phone. Will be buying the 6P next month once I can afford it and there are real world user feedback I can see.

Didn't work when iIrestored from a Lollipop Nexus 6.

Maybe you have to restore from another device running M.

I dirty updated from rooted stock (using NRT with no wipe and force flash) and it seems to have survived with no obvious issues. I'll keep an eye on standby battery life tonight.

The Barclays Mobile Banking app crashes on load, but it might be an incompatibility with Marshmallow (as I was rooted before I couldn't use it anyway, so it's probably just a case of waiting on them to update it). It's the only app I've seen not working so far though.

I'd normally wipe, but given I'm almost certain to have ordered a 6P, Z5P or X Style by year's end, I thought I'd try a dirty flash first, reverting to a nandroid backup and sticking with 5.1 if it didn't work out.

After flashing to 6, if I plug my Nexus 5 in via usb to my PC, I can no longer see the folders on the handset.

There is no folder structure, just blank.

I'm trying to put some images on my phone.

Bring down the notification shade, tap where it says "charging only" select mtp or the other option.

Cool. That worked. Thanks

Hmm, ran this update on my Nexus 5, been on the boot screen (still moving) for about 5 mins..
edit

After about 7 mins, booted

 

[Skeeter]

Do the OTAs need to be flashed (with a wipe), or can they just be run over an existing install as if they had popped up as an available update?

Dirty flash is fine usually.

Wipe if you encounter any problems.

 

[bledd]

Mine was wiped during the install. My firmware install knowledge is next to non though.

The Google restore took care of most things, besides my Angry Birds 2 savegame
