Are you sure your device is detected? Try "adb devices" and see if your device shows up. If not, maybe you don't have the drivers appropriately installed on your computer. Or maybe "ADB access" isn't checked under "Developer Options"? Also, make sure your device is in Recovery mode, and that "install update via ADB" is selected (for stock recovery).

Sorry for the basic suggestions, but they are what seem most obvious without further information.
[Nexus 6  General] shadowjin:
I've had a similar issue. Adb detects it and capable of sending commands, but when in recovery and I initiate adb sideload it no longer sees the phone and aborts exiting the sideload.
[Nexus 6  General] jgr208:
Can I roll back to the unified build before LVY48W, then sideload the LVY48T patch to go to M?
[Nexus 6  General] Markeee:
Thanks for the reply it adb devices sees the device you can see in the screen capture is there a ADB access option I don't see that under "Developer Options" ?
[Nexus 6  General] NYZack:
Sorry, it's "USB debugging." I'm pretty sure that has to be checked, though not 100% sure. The fact that your device is detected shows your drivers are OK. I assume you're in Recovery, with "Install update via ADB" selected (if you're on the stock recovery; if you're using TWRP, it's different).
[Nexus 6  General] stevexyz0:
After initiating sideload on the phone from recovery, unplug and replug the USB cable. Then issue adb sideload on your computer.
[Nexus 6  General] shadowjin:
Thanks man, i'll try that out.
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
Guys, not to sound crappy, but there's way too much noise in here right now. This is a reference thread to collect OTAs. If you have any specific questions regarding flashing, those are probably best taken to the Q&A area. Thanks.
[Nexus 6  General] EmperorX:
Or try a different USB port, if possible.

Also, make sure to use USB 2.0 ports. I have the same issue with USB 3.0 ports (my laptop has 4 of them...) I need to physically plug in a USB 2.0 dongle to get adb to work, this happened back on Windows 8 and now 10.
[Nexus 6  General] Markeee:
Yeah I'm 100% stock and stock recovery yes "USB debugging." is checked yes I'm recovery with Install update via ADB" when i get the error

any other ideas ?
[Nexus 6  General] iestyn99:
By the way, you are not alone, I have the exact same problem.
[Nexus 6  General] shadowjin:
Thanks guys. It worked. Running M now. Thanks for the help!!!!! I gave a like to both of you.
[Nexus 6  General] Winesnob:
2 possibilities - you need to install yet another adb driver for the device to be recognized in recovery and/or make sure you're not using a USB 3.0 port on the computer (happened to me when I tried to sideload yesterday. Changed to a 2.0 port and had no further issues)
[Nexus 6  General] stevexyz0:
Thanks for pointing it out. Here is the OTA help desk thread for questions about flashing OTA:

OK, I got it working now. Flash the radio.img file from the 'shamu-lmy48t' image and then flash the OTA update.

Let me know if that works?
[Nexus 6  General] Petarsson:
the good news is, it works! ;) on the other hand, i have already posted this solution some hours ago...

Erasing cache and data in Google services framework + restart device (settings + app + running) got marshmallow 6.0 notification upgrade. Downloading right now. Nexus 6 bought from Google play store. Build number 48 T
[Nexus 6  General] KainamHD:
Could you clarify the Google services timeframe?
[Nexus 6  General] westers035:
Think they mean, google services framework. Just tried to clear cache in this app, doesn't allow. You have to clear data. Not convinced doing this and a restart has got anything to do with getting an upgrade as I've tried before on various devices with no luck.
[Nexus 6  General] jfavellanedab:
I just did it from both Nexus 6 and 9 and Worked. Erase data and cache and restart.

[Nexus 6  General] robbi22:
Thanks. It works. Do it few times and i get 6.0))))
[Nexus 6  General] Elpidio:
it worked, from LMY48M to LMY48W. I'm on AT&T with a Motorola bought Nexus 6 so will now wait for Marshmallow to show up

So now what is the next OTA build before Marshmallow shows up
[Nexus 6  General] cmit37:
I did the data clearing and restarts about 5 times. No OTA . I'm on LMY48T in UK
[Nexus 6  General] westers035:
Same here, I don't think it does anything. Think is more to do with when it's your time it just turns up. Love to be proved wrong though.
[Nexus 6  General] jfavellanedab:
I am not saying it will work for everybody. It worked for me with Nexus 6 and 9 doing the same thing. Erase cache and data and restart the device. I was with 48 t build by that time.
[Nexus 6  General] westers035:
But surely if it worked it would work for everyone ?
[Nexus 6  General] jfavellanedab:
If someone has 48t build and Nexus 6 (not branded) should work for he or she
[Nexus 6  General] robbi22:
Yes i haved 48T build.

I have both but it doesn't work for me.
[Nexus 6  General] Lyxdeslic:
Hey guys! Read this if you're on LYZ28M, but on ProjectFi!

I was a T-Mobile customer, but I switched to ProjectFi about 4 weeks ago. 1 week ago, I received the security update to LYZ28M (which is technically a T-Mobile build).

I've been checking for the update manually several times a day, to no avail. I finally decided to clear data in the Google Services Framework, even though a Google engineer made a post a while back about how that doesn't do anything (you guys know which post I'm talking about). I just figured it couldn't hurt, and even if it did, I was going to have to wait regardless.

After clearing the Google Services Framework data, I immediately rebooted my phone. Once it booted back up, Android asked me if I wanted to enable location for app requests. I hit yes. Then another pop up came up, and it said something along the lines of "You recently turned off all app requests for location settings. Would you like to reenable them?" I hit "Yes"/"OK".

Then I proceeded to go to "System Updates" to recheck for an update and BAM!!! ANDROID M BABY!!!

Again, I'm a ProjectFi customer, even though I'm on a T-Mobile build.

The Google Services Framework data deletion trick DOES work, don't let anyone tell you differently.

But just a heads up: I DID try this same trick about two days after the Android M/new Nexus phones announcement, and it didn't work. This time it did (I was a bit hasty the first time, no doubt).

I attached a couple screenshots for you guys.

I hope you all get it soon!
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
No one ever said that trick doesn't work. But, what you did was break push notifications for some of your apps, so now you'll have to reset all the apps whose notifications you'll no longer be getting.
[Nexus 6  General] Lyxdeslic:
Here's what I was referencing --

http://www.talkandroid.com/185088-g...houldnt-clear-google-services-framework-data/

And the push notifications end up fixing themselves, so to speak, after running the app again.
[Nexus 6  General] jfavellanedab:
Well just sit and wait for OTA then....and good luck. I already have 6.0 in Nexus 6 and 9....and best of all working like charmed
[Nexus 6  General] stevexyz0:
Guys, the actual entire point of this thread is that nobody needs to wait for the OTA to be pushed to them specifically or to resort to magical tricks with clearing play services data.

Instead, we have collected all the OTA urls so that you may download whichever you like and sideload it, all without rooting or unlocking your bootloader!!!
[Nexus 6  General] jfavellanedab:
Everybody is different. For my was my 4 device (nexus 5, 7, 6 and 9) erasing cache and data. Simple, easy and fast. What you are suggesting is way tooooo complicated. We all have the same device but as I said we all are different.
[Nexus 6  General] Semseddin:
I have stock LMY48T and i try to sideload " 6035ff8ac2acfe9017a7dc2e7ae4bbc926bddfb4.signed-shamu-MRA58K-from-LMY48T.zip" file via adb. I get Total xfer: 1.00x error on command line screen and e:failed to verify whole file-signature , e:signature verification failed error log in recovery. What is wrong ?
[Nexus 6  General] westers035:
Well, looked like its finally here, just downloading. My did it have to come at work where wifi speed is 5 Mbps and not at home where I CAN GET 150+
[Nexus 6  General] KainamHD:
I'm stuck on ATT, where we don't even have an OTA to download. :(

Come on Project Fi welcome package!
[Nexus 6  General] TokedUp:
Did u guys that got the OTA on ProFi do the clear data thing on Google Framework or did it pop up on its own. My pc won't recognize my phone in fastboot mode so I can't sideload
[Nexus 6  General] cmit37:
I can't see my nexus 6 in fastboot devices. I managed to get it to be recognised in adb. My Nexus 9 and 7 2013 all get recognised in adb and fastboot and both have unlocked bootloaders.

Bizarrely my Windows 10 laptop doesn't even do the notification ping when I connect my nexus 6 while in fastboot. Could it be because my bootloader is locked?

- Never mind - I found the solution on the Nexus 6 OTA guide by connecting and reconnecting the USB cable to the PC until I got the notification sound from my PC.
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
So do I have any brave AT&T volunteers willing to stick it out on LMY48W until the Marshmallow OTA arrives?
[Nexus 6  General] KainamHD:
If it arrives before Wednesday (when my Project Fi package is due to arrive), I will.
[Nexus 6  General] Shawheim:
Just got the OTA on my Sprint N6!
[Nexus 6  General] xdajeff:
I'm sitting here waiting for At&t. They need to put out OTA already.
[Nexus 6  General] KainamHD:
WTF? The whole reason I bought a Nexus is so that the carriers wouldn't be getting in the way of updates!

Thought the updates were supposed to be coming straight from Google.
[Nexus 6  General] TokedUp:
Sideload worked, finally. Was having trouble getting device to recognize in recovery. 6.0 is sweet! Thanks to the ppl who got us the link!

I would flash factory image but just don't feel comfortable doing it and this is my daily driver
[Nexus 6  General] jfkerekes:
Is there an option to waiting for the OTA? I would rather have Google's stock M image for the Nexus 6 rather than AT&T Bloated image....
[Nexus 6  General] ccteo1:
AT&T OTA for Nexus 6

So what happens if I'm on AT&T (Nexus 6, 5.1.1 / LMY48W) and I try to sideload a non-AT&T OTA? Will it just fail to install, or will it mess something up on my phone?
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
It'll just fail. An OTA is designed to take you from one specific build to another. Right now there is no OTA for LMY48W that will bring it up to Marshmallow
[Nexus 6  General] jfkerekes:
But won't the factory image, if flashed clean, work even with an AT&T phone? That would give a cleanly installed image without any of the AT&T bloat, right?
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
The factory image will flash as long as your bootloader is unlocked but it will not remove any of the AT&T-added stuff like the ringtones and boot animation. That stuff resides on the phone's "oem" partition block which is not touched by factory images.
[Nexus 6  General] jfkerekes:
I am more concerned with the at&t added software.... I would rather choose what to install and just have google factory image... as long as I unlock my bootloader with the rom tool kit first, I can install the factory image without issue, right?
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
AT&T adds no software to the phone. If the phone detects an AT&T SIM, it'll download 4 apps from the Play Store but you can uninstall them. It'll do this regardless of where you bought the device. That choice is based on the SIM card that's installed in the phone. It does that same behavior on T-Mobile and Verizon too.
[Nexus 6  General] jfkerekes:
I wasn't aware of that... Thanks for the info. So then is the image the same for any Nexus 6 regardless of carrier? The Factory image, not the OTA that takes the phone from LP Build X to M Build X?
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
Correct. All Nexus 6s in the world, regardless of where they were purchased all work with the same factory images.
[Nexus 6  General] jfkerekes:
Cool.... Last question... So as long as I re-lock my bootloader after installing the factory image, then my phone will still take future OTA updates?
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
I'm not sure if the bootloader's lock state matters when it comes to OTAs, but I usually recommend people keep it locked unless they have an actual need for it to be unlocked. Unlocked bootloaders are an enormous security risk, especially if your phone is ever stolen.
[Nexus 6  General] DA6030:
You don't even have to re-lock the bootloader, to receive OTAs. As long as you've not made any modifications (e.g., root, TWRP) after flashing the factory image, you are sufficiently "stock" to receive OTAs.

If you trust your phone not to get booted into fastboot without your knowledge (e.g., stolen), the primary reason to re-lock would be if you need to make a warranty return or sell the device. If you're comfortable with an unlocked device, leaving unlocked will give more flexibility later (e.g., to apply a factory image instead of waiting for an OTA, or if you decide later to root).
[Nexus 6  General] ccteo1:
Thank you very much!!

Can I go straight from LYZ28J on sprint to MRA58K?
[Nexus 6  General] dijit4l:
Looks like you have to follow the OTA path to MRA58K: LYZ28J -> LYZ28K -> LYZ28M -> MRA58K.
[Nexus 6  General] trent999:
I am on LMY48T. I use this Nexus6 32gig, recently bought from Amazon, on T-Mobile and Verizon, mainly, but I installed my Cricket/AIO prepaid sim this afternoon to test something about switching from and back to Verizon.

I was immediately offered a Marshmallow update OTA, which I refused.

After trying both with T-Mobile and Verizon sims afterwards, in both cases my N6 was declared to be Up To Date with LMY48T.
[Nexus 6  General] memekmek:
what?! am i really that far behind?!
[Nexus 6  General] dijit4l:
You didn't need to refuse the update. When we all get updated to Marshmallow, we will be on the same build number as anyone else on a different carrier. All the small differences that were present in the Lollipop builds are all contained in MRA58K.

---------- Post added at 10:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 AM ----------

Must be. Check out the first post and see for yourself. It's like your Nexus was left behind somehow.

[Nexus 6  General] xdajeff:
Why the heck hasn't AT&T released OTA yet?
[Nexus 6  General] boomerbubba:
[MENTION=3934074]memekmek[/MENTION],

LYZ28J and its successor builds within 5.1.1 are in the T-Mobile fork. How did you come to be running that build on Sprint? That might have something to do with getting orphaned by the OTA updates.

BTW, this isn't a support thread, and we are cluttering up the reference comments. Maybe you should start a separate thread in the Q&A forum.
[Nexus 6  General] memekmek:
not sure, sprint shipped it to me this way.
[Nexus 6  General] KainamHD:
Rather why the hell is ATT still in the way of us receiving our update?

Project Fi welcome package is on the Fed Ex truck for delivery....

Sayonara ATT!
[Nexus 6  General] DA6030:
This is getting off-topic, but since it's not tech support related, I'm going to engage.

I think the list of reasons carriers want to stand in the way of OTAs is so long, that I would ask why they wouldn't throw up every possible barrier to OTAs. :P

One very specific example: OTA updates can be a driver of calls to customer care. (If you think people ask some stupid questions on XDA, imagine the people who can't even make it on XDA! Everything from "my app drawer used to scroll horizontally and now it scrolls vertically! Can I switch it back?" to questions they're clearly not responsible for fixing, like "I rooted my device and now the OTA won't take, what do I do?").

If you were a carrier, and you knew that a device used by 500K of your subs were going to get an OTA that would drive 1% of customers to call in, would you rather: all 5000 calls happen in one day, or 200 extra calls per day throughout a 25-day OTA roll-out? Your call center probably doesn't have capacity for an extra 5000 calls/day, especially not in the same month as a new iPhone launch!

To be clear, I'm not advocating for the carriers at all. I wish it wasn't this way, but just answering the question that was asked, as I can easily see the other side's point of view.

And I'd be wrong not to point out that it doesn't have to be this way for any user -- one of many reasons Google publishes factory images.
[Nexus 6  General] MysticKing32:
I think ATT does that as a deterrent from getting androids. Every single Android phone has always had their updates delayed by ATT. The worst was my galaxy s5 where they delayed the Lollipop update for over 7 months after Samsung released it. And even 3 months after other US carriers released it. It's pathetic. They prioritize iPhone. Even when oem's like Samsung release updates within a timely manner ATT will always delay it.

That's why I'm never getting another phone on contract or with anything ATT related again. From now on unlocked phones.

Got this phone on eBay for 300 dollars brand new and its the project Fi version so I'm happy.
[Nexus 6  General] KainamHD:
See, that's the whole idea with me getting a Nexus phone. Updates were supposed to come straight from Google.
[Nexus 6  General] GolfOX:
Tried removing my Verizon Sim card. Did FDR from recovery. Got 6.0. Installed update, then put sim back in and set up phone. Might have just been my turn, but I had the time to kill.

By the way. Mine is a Motorola Nexus 6 not Verizon.
[Nexus 6  General] Phrodini:
So since I installed recovery, unlocked, and rooted I won't get the marshmallow OTA ?
[Nexus 6  General] alryder:
If you are on Lollipop you may get a notification that the OTA is available for Marshmallow but you will not be able to install it with your phone in its current condition.
[Nexus 6  General] Phrodini:
I'm on lollipop, should I just side load? I have the stock zip on the computer for my phone. I just got done rooting today and got my phone to where I like it.

Do you think its worth upgrading to M from 5.1.1 at the moment?

If I can relock, remove root and recovery with the NRT would it be good for the OTA?
[Nexus 6  General] alryder:
I haven't upgraded to Marshmallow yet as I am waiting on some more clarity with the rooting procedure so I can't really say if it's worth the upgrade. I've also never done an OTA upgrade or used the toolkit either, preferring to flash the factory image that can be found here. You would need to remove root (flash system.img) and go back to the stock recovery for the OTA but I don't think you need to relock the bootloader (and from what I have read it is recommended not to do so).

So, if anyone has a Nexus 6 on Verizon, but didn't buy it from Verizon, please do let me know if you get an OTA to LMY47E. You probably won't, but in case you do, please get the filename before updating!
[Nexus 6  General] dodgebizkit:
Are there any OTA LMY47E zips available?
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
No, and I don't think there will be. LMY47E is only shipping on the just-launched Nexus 6s that Verizon is selling. They're the same as any other Nexus 6, but they're coming with that ever-so-newer firmware. It's always possible that Google will send out an OTA to phones with Verizon SIMs that will update them to LMY47E (like they did with KVT49L on the 2013 Nexus 7 LTE), but don't bank on it. If LMY47E was placed into AOSP, I might be inclined to believe that an OTA would be on the way, but since it's not, I don't think we'll see it.

Without doing a full compare of the system blocks on both builds, the only difference I can see on the surface is that 47E has a slightly newer radio (.98) than 47D does (.95). If I had to guess, I'd say that any Nexus 6 not purchased from Verizon will remain on LMY47D, the ones bought at Verizon will be on LMY47E, and then the two branches will get merged onto the same build with the next OTA.

With that said, if any of you have a Verizon SIM in your phone and get an OTA update, please grab the filename before you update!
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
LMY47M is rolling out, but probably only for devices with T-Mobile SIMs. If anyone gets the OTA, please grab the filename before you update!
