I'd recommend finding, reading, and executing instructions on flashing the factory image without wiping. I think it's easier than side loading the OTA.

But then again, I'm not very good at waiting.... I didn't last more than a week waiting for the 5.0.1 update.
[Nexus 6  General] luckofthefall80:
Yup, same here. Hook up, select no wipe & no force encryption, them away we go. A few minutes later, Wug's NRT has done all the work.
[Nexus 6  General] EsJayEs:
I'm on AT&T There is no toggle for "Advanced 4G LTE mode" is not showing as a menu item after OTA. I wiped and flashed the full image, tried toggling VoLTE flag (was grey and didn't change). It says it's provisioned for it, but I am not seeing it in the cellular networks menu. Tried setting it to LTE only, but it immediately changes itself back to LTE/GSM (Auto PRL). AT&T was absolutely useless with this question. I live in an area where I should have this coverage according to their map. All stock, not rooted. All I did when first buying the phone in December was delete the contents of the OEM partition to get rid of the AT&T boot animation.

Rant: If T-Mobile could get some decent spectrum, I'd be very happy to switch. I left Verizon in 2007 when I had a RAZR (like everybody else did back then) because I was frustrated at constantly having to flash software from various carriers to de-brand my phones. AT&T is quickly making my sh*t list. Sprint was never an option due to their awful coverage. A neighbor made the mistake of switching and couldn't use their phone unless they went outside. Even then, it was hit or miss. I could understand if I lived in some hick town in the middle of nowhere. The entire point of a Nexus is one experience regardless of carrier. End rant.

I don't have that option either and I have not even messed with the OEM partition. I'm all stock, non-rooted, 5.1. To get 5.1 (and 5.0.1 before) I flashed the factory image without a factory reset and did not flash userdata.img.

Also, I hope that NOVA becomes a reality and that it isn't limited to cities that have google fiber. If that happens, I'm all over it.

Oh, and I wish I had google fiber at my house too! Haha!
[Nexus 6  General] Tersanyus:
This is my first ever Nexus device. Has anyone with an at&t nexus 6 received the 5.1 update?

Edited to remove my question of ota coming from Google or at&t. I see its Google that does it.

Need Help

My AT&T Nexus 6 won't acept Sim Unlock Code for using it in other country, ask for sim unlock pin, then just pop the message "Network Unlock Request Unsuccessful" but sometimes say successful, then ask for PUK code and say it's incorrect. :confused:
[Nexus 6  General] apristel:
Either get the sim unlock code from AT&T or read here...

[Nexus 6  General] devong67:
For those waiting to get OTA from ATT. What worked for me last time (5.0.1) was to pull the sim card out of the phone and boot up on wifi at home. I then received the notice for the OTA almost immediately when I checked for it. At the time I think the general consensus was that ATT may be 'blocking' the update until they were ready.

Not sure if this will work now or not as I updated my phone to 5.1 using fastboot and the factory images.

Good luck!

Devon
[Nexus 6  General] atcchris:
I am pretty sure the general consensus is correct. ATT was and is blocking the update. I have not heard a single report of anyone with ATT SIM cards getting an OTA. Also, there is a special version of 5.1 coming out for each carrier. D for Sprint, E for Verizon, M for T-Mobile. People on T-Mobile have reported that the T-Mobile support system will say you have unsupported software if you don't run their M version. There is no sign of any update from or pertaining to ATT at all, and I would imagine it'll be weeks or months before we do.

Shockingly, Sprint beat everyone, Verizon was 2nd, and T-Mobile was 3rd on this one.

I'm still really confused about why Google is doing/allowing this. Also, disappointed. The Nexus 5 didn't need special versions for each carrier. The other annoying thing is that Verizon's "backup" bloat arrived with the D factory image as well. Even though that's Sprint's build. Apparently, Nexus in the way I knew it (had the N4 and 5) is gone.

I loaded Sprint's D version on my N6 with ATT service. So far, everything works just fine. I will report back here if I run into any problems. But yeah. Totally stupid situation to have carrier custom Nexus builds.
[Nexus 6  General] devong67:
Just as an FYI follow up I loaded 5.1 D via fastboot by flashing each img individually except for recovery and userdata. I did the same thing a few days later to load 5.1 E. I am on ATT and everything seems to be working fine so far.
[Nexus 6  General] slider112:
Any preference between D vs. E on ATT? Anything run or feel different?
[Nexus 6  General] Intub8:
I used e for a few days but my battery life seemed worse so I went back to d. Everything else was fine.
[Nexus 6  General] devong67:
What version of 5.1 are you using?

Just was wondering what version of 5.1 (D, E, or I) are people using on AT&T? I started with D, went to E right away and am now running I. I haven't noticed anything major with each version. No real battery issues or anything like that (able to send/receive texts and calls and data speeds seem fine.)

The only thing that I have really noticed is that the phone will stop connecting to wifi when I'm at home after deep sleep and the only way for me to get it to go back on wifi is to toggle airplane mode on then back off. I had this problem when I first got the phone under 5.0 and I thought it went away with 5.0.1 but ever since 5.1E and 5.1I it has come back and has been happening every night. I am not sure whether or not it was there with 5.1D because I only ran that for a day or so because E came out very quickly after D was released.

Are any of you seeing this issue as well?

Thanks,

Devon

This is going to be a fiasco no matter where you try to get one. The Nexus 5 was the same way.
[Nexus 6  General] RoscoeDpG:
ya and if there is any truth to the rumor that the reason it ran out so far was because google pulled it because motorola said they will not be doing any orders till atleast the 18th

Nexus 4 was worse. Those that ordered first had their orders cancelled.

Well I am going to assume that att will have it on nov 12 same as tmobile.

Fall is a wonderful time of year; the leaves begin to change colors, families come together, and most importantly, there’s yet another awesome new smartphone coming to T-Mobile. The Nexus 6 by Motorola will join T-Mobile’s stellar device lineup on November 12 for $0 down (and $27.08 a month for 24 months on our Equipment Installment Plan).

That is on tmobiles website. I was hoping the carriers would have it sooner but guess not.
[Nexus 6  General] EniGmA1987:

I do hope this rep is truly, sorely, mistaken about locking the N6. If it pans out, I'll switch.
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
The person clearly doesn't grasp the idea and has little to no knowledge of what a bootloader is or does let alone be able to give you reliable info on a device they know nothing about. All of these rep chats are getting the same old canned responses...... business as usual, they don't know any different.
[Nexus 6  General] osetivo:
My gut feeling is that despite Google's new "carrier friendly" Auto Install feature in Lollipop, AT&T will lock it down.

It is AT&T's corporate culture to not only pre-install their apps, but to stop you from removing them. as well as to stop you from tweaking your device via an unlocked bootloader. Will AT&T allow you to enable a WiFi Hotspot where AT&T is not profiting. <G>

I hope I am wrong, but it's such a long shot IMO, that I will pre-order from Google ASAP. If an AT&T Nexus 6 hits the scene (before I pre-order) with credible info that I am wrong, I will reconsider.

But until I am proved wrong, AT&T still sucks IMO!
[Nexus 6  General] tonyfiore75:
What I don't understand about this response is that if AT&T does this it'll completely go against the whole premise of a "Nexus" device / experience. If Google is okay with the lockdown then they might as well re-brand the whole Nexus project.
[Nexus 6  General] knox07:
just logging in to let you know you come off really childish from this chat log, and its a complete misrepresentation of our community. I'm sure ill get hated on for this comment but thats fine, i almost never log in anyways. Seriously though, the phrase 'cringe worthy' would be too mild. Not everyone is as fanatic as us on these forums about not having an additional 2-4 carriers apps on our phone, so no need to relay the annoyance (or "ew"-worthy) of them to a random chat support person doing their job. To compound this, you continue to belittle the rep by having them go through the paces of having to hear you make comical rants about why you were "actually thinking (for a second) of buying" through them. Then ultimately insinuate she should hope you'll be continue to be a customer. The rest of the log almost annoys me even to read, and I'm not going to go into all the other areas where you come off as less than rational.

To everyone else that shares his sentiments, i understand the displeasure with the launch and how carriers could potentially handle the nexus. However that doesn't give us the right to get on with these chat supporters and expect them to have the same strict requirements we have for our phones. Seriously, we are an incredibly small % of cell phone owners. Respect people, ask the questions you need the answers to, and make your own personal decisions based on the responses. Don't expect some random lady/guy online trying to work for a living to be just as furious with ATT locking a freakin bootloader.

/Rant feel free to delete this off topic post as necessary
[Nexus 6  General] Plexicle:
I agree, it was pretty childish and hard to read.

In any case, no one should take that chat to mean anything. That Agent (nor the "tech support" he/she consulted with) does not have any actual information about the Nexus 6. They probably have no idea which phone you're talking about, and they certainly don't understand the implications of "Nexus". At the worst there would be some bloat installed. That, as you know, would be very easy to remove.

I would put the chances of bloat installed (on the system partition) to be about 20%.

I would put the chances of the auto-install bloat installed (on the data partition) to be about 30%.

I would put the chances of a locked bootloader to be about .000001%. Seriously. Get the **** out of here.

I would put the chances of a a carrier lock to be something like 10%. Verizon would totally put a network lock on it if they could.

I'm pulling these numbers out of my ass but I feel pretty good about it.

[Nexus 6  General] pcrussell50:
I have not noticed any of the wifi issues you described.

I'm on D. Mostly because I flashed it when it first came out and didn't even notice when the newer 5.1's showed up. Furthermore I have not seen a rundown of one versus another, either. Am I missing anything?

-Peter
[Nexus 6  General] devong67:
Thanks. I don't think you are missing anything. I didn't notice anything missing when I was on D either, but, like I said, I wasn't on it for a long time before I jumped to E. I have been thinking of going back to D if it would correct the wifi issue I am having. and if you aren't seeing the issue, then it may confirm to me that it may be worth trying D out again.

How did you upgrade to D? did you flash the OTA? or did you sideload or flash through ADB?

Devon
[Nexus 6  General] freebee269:
Most ROMs are using the I build so if you want d you have to find one that's using d or download the d images from Google developer site and flash those through fastboot.
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
I followed the same path as you and ended up on I, like you. I've had no WiFi problems, nor any other issues. FWIW: I saw on another thread that AT&T is now pushing D to devices. But it doesn't really matter.
[Nexus 6  General] pcrussell50:
I downloaded D off the google developer site the same day it came out and flashed it over, losing root in the process, which i was ok with me because it keeps my skills up to re-root manually, (i don't use any toolkits, i flash and root line by line from the terminal).

before i flash over the I version, is there any place i can read up on what it different from D to I? or are the differences so small i shouldn't even bother reading up on them?

-peter

I am not sure what the differences are. I haven't noticed much or heard much on the differences. I also downloaded off the developer site and then I just unzipped it and flashed all but the userdata partition manually to update.
[Nexus 6  General] Johnny424:
I like your post, and have been thinking about this sense 5.1 dropped. the whole carrier pushing to nexus devices is odd I agree. I am an att user and what blew me the most was the fact that att was talking about volte way back a few months ago, and then somehow T-Mobile pushes out volte before att lol. so as of now att is the only carrier who has not pushed an ota for 5.1 to its users.. I started thinking that maybe they wouldn't and for us XDA users besides volte support it doesn't matter sense we can fastboot flash or recovery flash till our hearts are content.. but the average att nexus 6 user has no idea about XDA or the process and methods we use to upgrade firmware to work around slow carrier otas.. which brings me to my point.. they would eventually have to push an att 5.1 ota to the nexus 6 otherwise the average att nexus 6 user (not XDA members) would be stuck on 5.0.2... what I am thinking is there most definitely will be an att 5.1 ota and I would hope it has volte support and maybe this is what is holding the ota up from being pushed.. the strangest part to me is why we have not heard anything about the att n6 update. not from att, any leaks, social media or any other source about the update at all

any how I thought I was the only one thinking about this .. and I am done with my strange thoughts on this strange 5.1 update deal for the n6 lol
[Nexus 6  General] lightfire:
I agree. It is entirely disappointing that Google has allowed the carriers to dominate. I purchased what I assumed was a Nexus device so as to be free of that.

Waiting on ATT not google for my 5.1 update....sheesh.
[Nexus 6  General] Rob3E:
I don't know. I don't understand why AT&T would delay the update, but one reason I got a Nexus was so that I could take some of those decisions away from the carriers and manufacturers. It's what tipped the scales to the Nexus 6 instead of the Note 4. I flashed the 5.1 update within a few days of release. And does it work to just start the phone with no SIM card? I can't go that route because of the custom recovery, but it if works, it seems like a pretty easy way around any carrier blocks. I figure there are plenty of people who just want the phone, and want it to work, and don't watch the news streams for the latest updates (although maybe less of those people are buying the Nexus 6). For those people, it really doesn't matter when the update comes. For everyone else, as long as there's a work around, I don't see the problem.

Also, since switching to 5.1, I have not noticed any affects of VoLTE. I hadn't been suffering from poor call quality before, and I'm not now. The biggest advantage I see in VoLTE is that you can talk and be on-line at the same time, which has always been possible on AT&T.
[Nexus 6  General] gammite:
Remove Sim.

Hard reset phone.

Do not reinsert Sim yet.

Let phone do its thing.

Still do not insert sim

Update phone to 5.1

Insert Sim.

Do your thing with att phone now on 5.1.

Once new update comes repeat process if necessary.

[Nexus 6  General] jonchance_84:
Picked up my new Nexus 6 from an ATT store (upgrade time) and before I left the store, the phone was notifying me of the 5.1 update. Got home, let it update, rooted and unlocked bootloader in 5 minutes. Everything is working great. I was initially on my old Xperia TL and was stuck on 4.3 because ATT made Sony lock down the bootloader. You cant even find a Sony phone on ATT any longer. So, smooth sailing so far.

Lmy47D by the way...
[Nexus 6  General] Tersanyus:
I had been running manually flashed LMY47E on my AT&T N6. Once I read that a few days ago AT&T was pushing out LMY47Z all I read said it was the same build Google listed on it's Factory Images page - "5.1.1 (For Sprint, USC ONLY) (LMY47Z)". Downloaded that build and manually flashed it all (the flash-all script always fails for me). Worked fine and some AT&T bloatware got installed, only some of it I actually use. Set up the N6 fine but had forgot to relock the bootloader, oops so it got wiped out.

In case anyone is wondering the info the AT&T Software update page at http://www.att.com/esupport/softwareUpdateArticle.jsp?sid=KB425950&cv=820 my N6 shows exactly the same build info. So the Google Factory images page where "5.1.1 (For Sprint, USC ONLY) (LMY47Z)" is listed is in fact the same build pushed out for AT&T Nexus 6 devices.

Hello,

I am looking for advice. I am currently and plan to continue using AT&T as my carrier. I enjoy flashing custom stock ROM's. I have been in the Samsung product line for years. AT&T locked down the Galaxy S5 bootloaders and the workarounds for that are terrible. I am ready to pass this S5 down to one of the kids and am looking for a new phone. One that is able to be flashed with custom ROMs. Now, I don't know if I should purchase outright from Google or make a deal with the AT&T version. I don't have a sense of how active the custom development is on the Nexus 6. If there are any refugees from the AT&T/Galaxy world, any comments would be appreciated. Thanks!
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
Development on the Nexus 6 is very active. All versions of the N6 (US version, XT1103) are the same. So, it really doesn't matter who you buy from. FWIW: if you buy from AT&T, is will be carrier locked to AT&T, and it will have an AT&T boot animation and splash screen (which is easy to get rid of once you root).
[Nexus 6  General] Hoshneer:
Also is a couple hundred cheaper through Google right now.. I still owe $699 for last month's purchase and Google just lowered it to $499. I also just switched to Fi. FFS..
[Nexus 6  General] dcfnet:
Thanks!!! I guess I'm looking for some assurance that if I go through AT&T, I'll be able to flash custom ROMs and not have to worry about a locked bootloader...
[Nexus 6  General] moopile:
Purchased mine through ATT on pre-release. Can unlock bootloader and flash away.

Same as you, I switched from Samsung.

Slight learning curve, but some good tools to unlock and root if you don't want to do it manually. Such as: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/development/toolkit-wugs-nexus-root-toolkit-v1-9-8-t2947452

You can choose from stock based roms, AOSP based, CM, etc.

All Nexus 6 are the same. Bootloader is locked, but easily unlockable. It's as simple as "fastboot oem unlock".
[Nexus 6  General] bjacks12:
Quick question.

I bought a brand new 64 GB on Swappa this week. It arrived with LMY47E on it. I'm on Straight Talk(AT&T) and I'm guessing that I'm unlikely to receive an OTA to 5.1.1 because I'm not on 47D. Is this correct? I'm comfortable with flashing if need be, I was just hoping not to unlock my bootloader right away after getting everything set up(I guess I could wait for an OTA file to become available for 47E to 47Z).

besides this, is running 47E on AT&T going to be detrimental in any way(mainly radios...I do pickup LTE but get less than <10 Mbps).
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
I ran 47E on AT&T for several months and was very satisfied with it. I'm now on 47Z, and quite frankly, I can not see any difference in performance.

Edit: My bad. I meant that I was running 47I for several months.
[Nexus 6  General] bjacks12:
Well I went ahead and did it. It's restoring my apps right now. Probably won't run any different, but at least now I'm on the right build for the right carrier so future OTA's will come.

EDIT: Looks like I forgot to take my SIM out before restoring....and now I'm getting AT&T apps. Great. I'm not even directly on AT&T. :(

Sorry if this is off topic but why would you not be able to unlock the bootloader? The m8 and m7 both have unlockable bootloaders. The only ones that are super locked down are Samsung's and of course the moto x. Even though moto made the nexus...........it is a NEXUS. I wouldn't sweat the bootloader issue I'd be more worried about when they will release the preorder.
