Can anyone confirm if the latest OTA : LRX21R from LRX21Q works for those of us who are stuck on LRX21L ?

I'd prefer not to have to unlock my bootloader and lose all my app data so I'd like to wait until either I get the update via OTA or I can manually update via the sideloading process.
[Nexus 9 General] McChen147:
No you need an L to R package which we're still waiting for
[Nexus 9 General] oldblue910:
If anyone gets that L > R package, please post the filename here!
[Nexus 9 General] _Infamous_:
I did a factory reset on my tablet and it got updated to LRX21R
[Nexus 9 General] McChen147:
before the reset were you on L or Q?
[Nexus 9 General] fyrchela:
Did you have stock LRX21L?
[Nexus 9 General] _Infamous_:
I was on l

---------- Post added at 12:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 PM ----------

Yea stock L
[Nexus 9 General] McChen147:
Great, thanks! This means there is a fixed L to R upgrade rolling out, just a matter of time until someone is able to capture it!
[Nexus 9 General] brushrop03:
Is this R just to fix the recovery?
[Nexus 9 General] TheBiles:
I got the error again, so it didn't fix anything.
[Nexus 9 General] rogerchew:
so are these OTA's still good if you're on L and have the older recovery? has that OTA been captured yet?
[Nexus 9 General] oldblue910:
No. The L > Q OTA didn't work and we don't have the L > R OTA yet. Sit tight. Soon.
[Nexus 9 General] rogerchew:
Sitting tight!!! Excited for the performance enhancements. The stuttering and redraws made my jaw drop thinking about the QA process going on at Google.....
[Nexus 9 General] oldblue910:
This must be your first Nexus. ;)

Google's QA team is its user base. If you own a Nexus, you ARE QA, my friend. Welcome to Google's QA department! #NexusLife

And so true
[Nexus 9 General] richteralan:
Actually I received L to R ota few hours ago.
[Nexus 9 General] rogerchew:
Got the ota link????
[Nexus 9 General] richteralan:
Sorry no.
[Nexus 9 General] ram130:
Guys just side load the ota file here : http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/11/17/flash-all-the-things-lollipop-ota-update-zip-file-roundup/

Easy. Did it from factory Q from L. And now I'm on R. Apps still close a lot though. But overall heat is less.

Sent from my Nexus 9
[Nexus 9 General] rogerchew:
Yeah unfortunately I have the old recovery and am on L right now. Want L to R

hmmm....link is broken. :(
[Nexus 9 General] EthanFirst:
Try again. Sorry.
[Nexus 9 General] rogerchew:
Awesome man! gonna try to sideload this thing.
[Nexus 9 General] McChen147:
this is the ota we've all been waiting for :). sideloaded it and i can confirm this does work for those of us on the L release with the mismatched recovery!
[Nexus 9 General] arhung:
Successful update from L to R, thanks for your file:):)

Sent from my Nexus 9
[Nexus 9 General] TheManii:
We still have not found the ota from LFW73W, if anyone has yet to do first setup on an unopened N9
[Nexus 9 General] valentinmumble:
I confirm that sideloading this file successfully updated my Nexus from LRX21L to LRX21R

Thanks man!
[Nexus 9 General] bobjbain:
That's worked for me, thanks
[Nexus 9 General] oldblue910:
Thanks, [MENTION=4670279]EthanFirst[/MENTION]. First post updated.
[Nexus 9 General] nullzwo11:
I can confirm that the new OTA for L to R works perfectly for me and I had the LFW73W issue as well.

I sideloaded it and it worked. Try it.
[Nexus 9 General] thebrainkafka:
Now as the TWRP is out just flash the OTA in recovery and you're done.
[Nexus 9 General] Fadawah:
When I try to flash 21R from 21Q in TWRP it says that the package is for flounder :/
[Nexus 9 General] jb12780:
Same here.
[Nexus 9 General] nolook:
same with me...tried the link on here and android police...
[Nexus 9 General] 850RPM:
same error here;

and sideloading in recovery doesn't works either
[Nexus 9 General] macrossmerrell:
That's weird. My stumbling block was figuring out to press both volumes and the power button at the same time to get recovery to fully load... [emoji15] Of course that was factory recovery.

[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
Did anyone manage to pick up a Nexus 6 from Sprint yesterday? If so, did it force you to do an OTA out of the box? What's the build, baseband, and bootloader version you're on now? I pre-ordered one from AT&T but it won't be here until later in the week.
[Nexus 6  General] Dr Faustus:
Unfortunately no Sprint Stores were carrying the N6 in stock demo or otherwise. Just online orders.
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
Ah. Wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the info!
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
Has anyone got their Nexus 6 yet? If so, did it make you do an OTA update out of the box? After that update, what is the firmware, bootloader, and baseband version for the updated firmware?
[Nexus 6  General] XxKINGxX2580:
I'll be able to tell you tomorrow at around 11AM EST
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
AT&T should be shipping mine either today or tomorrow as well. Can't wait. :D
[Nexus 6  General] XxKINGxX2580:
I can't wait for shipping. I get impatient. I'll just go to my local T-Mobile store 5 minutes before they open.
[Nexus 6  General] signals:
Yes, I got mine from Motorola yesterday. There was an OTA when I got it; it did not force me, but I upgraded anyway. Here's what my phone says now:

From bootloader:

BL: moto-apq8084-71.05 (sha-0d4c769, 2014-10-21 12:04:24)

Baseband: D4.0-9625-02.55.03a

From about phone:

Baseband Version: MDM9625_104335.118.02.55.03R

Kernel version: 3.10.40-g72dfced android-build@vpbs1.mtv.corp.google.com #1 Wed Oct 29 15:06:28 UTC 2014

Build number: LRX210

If there more info you need, I'll need instructions for fetching it.
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
Thank you for that!

Now that I know the out-of-the-box OTA isn't forced, here's what I need someone to do:

BEFORE BOOTING YOUR NEXUS 6 UP FOR THE FIRST TIME:

1. Boot into bootloader mode. This is done by either holding power and volume down, or power and volume up, at the same time. I'm not sure which. Please get the bootloader version from the screen.

2. Reboot your system normally.

3. Go through the setup process

4. Go to Settings | About Phone and give us the Android version, build number and baseband version.

5. Install a file manager from the Play Store, and then go into that app and open /system/build.prop. Please post the values of ro.build.date.utc and ro.build.fingerprint.

6. Enable developer options on your phone by going back to Settings | About Phone and repeatedly tapping on the build number until it says "you're a developer."

7. Go into Settings | Developer Options and enable USB debugging.

8. Check for a system update. Once it downloads, DO NOT INSTALL IT YET.

9. Go to Settings | Developer Options and choose "Take Bug Report".

9. After a few minutes, you'll get a text file emailed to your gmail account.

10. Open that text file and search it for ".zip" (without the quotes).

11. Please post the entire URL here. It'll start with "http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/."

At that point, install the update, enjoy your phone, and accept my eternal gratitude!
[Nexus 6  General] signals:
Unfortunately, I can't do most of that anymore, but I did have the foresight to write down the build number from before I updated: LNX07M

Hope that's helpful, even if just for verification.
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
Thanks for that. Can anyone full in the rest of the needed information when they get their Nexus 6?
[Nexus 6  General] TheManii:
If anyone is willing to wait for a custom recovery to come out and dump the initial rom, here are the steps to do so: [REQ]Dump of the preinstalled rom
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
Just wanted to quote myself here and remind everyone that when you get your Nexus 6, I need someone to perform these steps before applying that first update that will be available. If anyone could do this for me, I'd greatly appreciate it.
[Nexus 6  General] TheJesus:
If my local T-Mobile's (there's twenty of them) were selling it, I'd help. But nope, they're saying order online :(
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
Mine just shipped from AT&T today, so I'll have it Friday. I'm just hoping someone who gets theirs before me will do get all the info so I don't have to wait 'til Friday. If not, no big deal.
[Nexus 6  General] amberkalvin:
I would do this for you, but.......

I'm like a week or more away from receiving mine. Its kinda cool that you live in Durham though, I live in Fayetteville.
[Nexus 6  General] XxKINGxX2580:
Just got mine an hour ago.
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
Any chance you can get the info from the pre-installed ROM that I asked for above, or did you already update it?
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
Nice! Next time you're up this way or next time I'm down that way, perhaps beers are in order. :D
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
How about the bootloader version?
[Nexus 6  General] moosetender8:
Quick question before I flash, LMY47Z is the prefered flavor of 5.1.1 for Nexus 6 GPE used on Verizon?

thanks
[Nexus 6  General] xdatastic:
Unknown as yet. It's only been announced for Sprint...but it's possible it could be.
[Nexus 6  General] efrant:
Let's keep this thread on-topic please. This thread is not for discussing how to install an OTA update, what works what doesn't, etc. This thread a reference thread for obtaining, posting and deciphering the OTA updates.

[Nexus 6  General] JetBlk:
Like you said, only has been announced for Sprint, so who knows if this is THE build... But I have been using LMY47D on Verizon (moto purchased nexus 6, flashed it before E build came out), applied the update (LMY47Z) and all seems to be well so far. Only thing I had to do is turn back on the VoLTE flag using the hidden menu.

Phone is snappy as can be, signal seems good, and we shall see on battery life.
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
I switched from Sprint to Verizon over the weekend on my Nexus 6, so I flashed back to LRX22C and then got an OTA to the Verizon build LMY47E. So, I'm just going to leave it there for now and try to capture the Verizon 5.1.1 OTA when it launches (I'm guessing it'll be at least a month). There's nothing in 5.1.1 that's making me say "must have it now," so I'm just going to take one for the team and leave this one until I get the actual OTA from LMY47E to whatever Verizon's official 5.1.1 build will be.
[Nexus 6  General] PR0707YP3:
What's the change in the build LMY47Z ?
[Nexus 6  General] NishantM:
AP states LMY47Z is for international variants too.
[Nexus 6  General] david279:
5.1.1 that's all we know
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
There won't be a "Verizon" build, they all work on any nexus, there's no "carrier" nexus, just the nexus 6
[Nexus 6  General] atcchris:
Ummm... Google, T-Mobile, Sprint, etc. Would beg to differ. Even the Nexus factory image developer page lists T-Mobile specific builds. And it is widely known that the previous round of builds (5.1) had specific builds for T-Mobile, Verizon, and "Oceania/Australia."

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
[Nexus 6  General] imablackhat:
I bet the 5.1.1 update Verizon Sprint T-Mobile and international etc all the same with diff letter for no reason. Been using 5.1.1 T-Mobile on my vzw nexus since release zero issues. No difference... Why change over to international or vzw version ? Probably no difference. Its still 5.1.1
[Nexus 6  General] JetBlk:
I think the difference in OTAs/Factory Images probably have something to do with the kernel. But, just a guess. Would need to see side by side breakdown of each version numbers, etc.
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
We've had this discussion in sprint forum, even one of the members have ran all of the builds...on sprint!!! Heck I'm running the "Verizon" build on sprint as we speak and that one build that lists tmobile, just has wifi calling, it'll work fine on any nexus. The whole build thing is the whole reason everyone is so confused about how the nexus works, but only a few of us really understand it looks like...:D
[Nexus 6  General] atcchris:
I understand... but the Google Developer Nexus Factory Image page now lists a Sprint and US Cellular specific build (LMY47Z). Why would these exist if there is really no difference? It's very confusing. :confused:

From what I could gather so far, the radios are different on the different builds? So if you have better or worse cell signal for your carrier, that could greatly affect battery life.
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
Well from the builds that I've ran, I haven't really noticed much of a difference as far as signal quality, when I switch to the "sprint" build I post again with my results, but I do agree, Google is making everything confusing for us, but I think it's for legal reasons, meaning, if we brick it with an "only for X" build, they can't be responsible
[Nexus 6  General] VivaErBetis:
LMY48B is android-5.1.1_r3

LMY47Z is android-5.1.1_r4

What happened to google/aosp? They didn't follow their own rules or what?
[Nexus 6  General] roaddaw9:
This is all really confusing. Not to start a crap storm, but I thought when I went to a Nexus I got away from this carrier specific crap. Am I waiting on AT&T or Google now to approve my update? Or do I get to be a lucky one and mine is the generic but we all have to wait for Verizon to approve the generic? What a interesting cluster........
[Nexus 6  General] jamexman:
The OP says LMY47Z is the international version (which would also correspond for AT&T), however when I look up Nexus stock images on Google's page, Google says its for Sprint/US Cellular, can anyone clarify?
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
I wouldn't worry about it, it probably just has tweaks for sprint towers, most of the people on the forums have agreed that there's no difference between these builds outside of tweaks for specific things
[Nexus 6  General] craig.buckie:
The Sprint image is a cluster-fudge, I'm waiting for a Google announced worldwide image. Or better yet a Developer Preview of M.
[Nexus 6  General] jamexman:
Care to elaborate?
[Nexus 6  General] craig.buckie:

Correct, it is an AT&T SIM. I did not receive the update notification but I did go to the SYSTEM UPDATES in ABOUT PHONE and forced an update check.

I'm on AT&T, LMY47D, and also got the OTA notification. Downloaded and it restarted, but I forgot I had a custom recovery and root.

If you guys get an OTA notification, say what build you are currently on too, not just your carrier plz and thanks

I'm guessing you were on LMY47D before the OTA. You would have needed to be on LMY47M to get the right OTA.

In case anyone was interested, I received the LMY47Z update (from LMY47D) on Rogers in Canada today. (I would have assumed as much, as Rogers' network is very similar to AT&T's.) One thing that was interesting though is that the update that downloaded to my device was named "update.zip", not "c46173017156abb27e0d39aee700c1392e32f224.signed-shamu-LMY47Z-from-LMY47D-fullradio-fix-superblock.zip".

nexus 6 - no OTA update

As I've been reading through these threads, I'm seeing there are differing build numbers, for differing Nexus 6 devices. I bought my device from a friend, who bought it at a sprint store. Been using it with T-Mobile, no problem. I'm on build number LMY47D.

I'm realizing that either I'll likely receive an OTA update to a version that doesn't include the T-Mobile WiFi calling option, or maybe I won't even receive OTA update? (So far, I haven't received any update notification - I've been checking daily). Just wanting to get some feedback from someone on how you think I should proceed. Also, have others not received their OTA updates yet, or is that something with my build, since I'm using the sprint build with T-Mobile?

Any suggestion(s) are appreciated.
[Nexus 6  General] Android The Greek:
I flashed the US Cellular/ Sprint OTA over my AT&T LMY47D and got the same radio.

No point in waiting in my opinion.
[Nexus 6  General] serdel_elo:
Poland received LMY47Z
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
Does anyone with a Verizon SIM have VoLTE working on LMY47Z? No matter what, I can't get the "Enhanced 4G LTE Services" option to show up under Cellular Networks. If I flash back to LMY47E (the official Verizon build) it works fine.
[Nexus 6  General] xdatastic:
Does it appear if you dial *#*#4636#*#* then go to "Phone information" > "Turn on Volte provisioned flag" ?

I read somewhere that it might work, but I cant test cos we don't have VoLTE here in Australia.
[Nexus 6  General] moosetender8:
Yes. I side-loaded LMY47Z from LMY47D and it works. "Enhanced 4G LTE Services" is enabled and I have tested it, voice and data work while on LTE. I purchased my Nexus 6 from Motorola and use it on Verizon.
[Nexus 6  General] mikehal38:
Has anyone gotten the ota on their Verizon nexus 6 or is everyone side loading it? I've been waiting patiently but haven't gotten anything yet.
[Nexus 6  General] J3anyus:
If you're running LMY47E (the stock build for Verizon) then the OTA isn't available yet, even for sideloading. With Verizon's history of delaying updates I'm concerned that it might be weeks or months before we see the update, but we'll just have to wait and see. If you're running stock you can always manually flash to one of the non-Verizon builds if you're okay with wiping your phone.
[Nexus 6  General] imablackhat:
Yeah build z international boot loader and ROM and radio here on my vzw nexus
[Nexus 6  General] skylaneffz:
Confused about which OTA I need

I bought my Nexus 6 from the Google Play Store. On the box it has XT1103 as the model number.

I am currently on LMY47D.

In the beginning of this thread they list:

Nexus 6 (shamu XT1100 and XT1103) - shamu

Current firmware:

International

Oceania

Verizon

AT&T

Sprint

T-Mobile

U.S. Cellular

5.1.1 / LMY47Z

5.1.1 / LMY47Z

5.1 / LMY47E

5.1.1 / LMY47Z

5.1.1 / LMY47Z

5.1.1 / LYZ28E

5.1.1 / LMY47Z

So I do not have the International version and I don't have a carrier specific variant either.

I'm not sure which OTA I am supposed to use to get up to 5.1.1 ????
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
In the case of buying a US model from Play or Motorola, your update is dependent on what carrier's SIM you're using. So, if you're using it on AT&T, Sprint, or US Cellular, use LMY47Z. If you're using T-Mobile, go with LYZ28E. If you're on Verizon, we have no idea yet what build that carrier will get officially.
[Nexus 6  General] skylaneffz:
I am on Cricket (which I think is a reseller of AT&T)....so I guess I am safe to sideload the LMY47Z OTA?
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
Yes. LMY47Z is the build AT&T is using. AT&T customers with LMY47D have reported (page 22 of this thread) getting the OTA. The rollout is going slow, but it's going. So, yeah, go ahead and sideload LMY47Z and you're fine. In the end, it really doesn't matter what build you flash. They all work fine with any carrier. The issue is more if you care about being on the "official" update path, which could enable carrier-specific stuff in the future that you might actually like (such as LYZ28E enabling Wi-Fi calling on T-Mobile).
[Nexus 6  General] tinpaul:
Am on LMY47Z with Verizon and have no issues, used wug fresh and works fine.

Thanks! I didnt see the LMY47H OTA that I am currently running. I would love a copy of it just in case I decide to Root/UBL
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
No one has provided the OTA from LVY47H to another build yet. If someone does, I'll happily list it in the first post. Is your phone running the real stock LVY47H firmware?
[Nexus 6  General] TokedUp:
Yeah. I got my N6 2 days ago thru Project Fi. It came pre loaded with 5.1 LVY47H. Still havent got the 5.1.1 OTA...
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
Okay. Are you willing to leave it on LVY47H for a while and see if you get an OTA notification in the next couple of weeks? If you get the notification, let us know here before you update and I can walk you through getting the URL if you don't already know how.
