hi guys, i have AT&T Nexus 6 XT1103 running stock LP 5.1.1 (LMY48Z) atm, rooted and TWRP'ed, i have some problem, i want to update to MM 6.0.1, already download the OTA file above, but seems can't update via TWRP, what should i do? please be kind to help me, thanks in advance :)
[Nexus 6  General] Winesnob:
You need to be completely stock - recovery, system, everything. No root.

Since you're device is rather modified, I'm guessing your bootloader is unlocked. Best bet is download the factory image and individually flash each image except userdata. OTAs aren't going to work for you my friend.
[Nexus 6  General] Barry (NJ):
AT&T is now on Build Number: MMB29K
[Nexus 6  General] sashank:
Oh, got it. You're right. Sorry, that small change in digit completely slipped my eye.
[Nexus 6  General] radcpuman:
I had already flashed the stock MMB29K manually about a month ago, but a friend said his AT&T Nexus 6 received that build via OTA this morning.
[Nexus 6  General] DA6030:
Wow, really surprised they didn't flash a new oem.img (or nuke the existing one), leaving AT&T customers with the annoyingly loud boot tone (even if they think they're phone's on vibrate) and the Lollipop boot animation on Marshmallow. I'm also surprised to see a new logo partition (although maybe that's the same one embedded in the factory image 71.15 bootloader, and I just didn't notice it change since flashing the bootloader.img)

[Nexus 6  General] muppetmania:
No worries, as I said in the post, it's all jduck's work finding them (how he does, I don't know)

I just reposted his work, that's all. No real credit due to me!
[Nexus 6  General] TokedUp:
I know. How does he do it? I can't figure it out lol
[Nexus 6  General] rancor22:
I just received MMB29Q on ATT and I think it was from MMB29K.
[Nexus 6  General] Fourty8:
Verizon also pushed MMB29Q from MMB29S to me yesterday (Feb 5th). Seems as long as the radio remains untouched, Verizon is getting these OTA's out quickly.:good:
[Nexus 6  General] str3tchb0y:
I'm also on ATT and I got an OTA from S to Q. I will say that I do have a non-ATT phone and I did sideload the january update and previous updates. I was surprised to see this one come the OTA way.
[Nexus 6  General] xdatastic:
AT&T approved it. This page is updated every time they approve an OTA:

It's that time of the month again! Where dem links people? Lol
[Nexus 6  General] xdatastic:
Judging by last few months, the OTAs are released first Monday (US time) of each month. Of course they could be whenever.

Keep an eye on here:

And here:

As they seem to be kept up to date.
[Nexus 6  General] JimSmith94:
I wasn't aware of the first Monday thing, but the February OTA was released on Monday the first. Here is the official download link to check: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

[Nexus 6  General] Cobra11Murderer:
question for all, I'm on tmobile and the phone I got has MMB29Q off swappa which I guess means no wifi calling? so I need to flash the tmobile rom? and then go up? can some one link those to me.. I would search threw this but I'm a bit strained on time at the moment if not its cool
[Nexus 6  General] Not_A_Dev:
I'm on MMB29Q with T-Mo on my N6. I have WiFi calling. There are no more carrier versions for Marshmallow. These are all unified builds by Google.
[Nexus 6  General] Cobra11Murderer:
hmmm that's weird mine isn't showing it.. it keeps the cellular on

NVM just found it wow I feel like a dummy lol that's what I get for just getting this phone thanks Not_A_Dev

is band 12 and volte enabled by default to?
[Nexus 6  General] Not_A_Dev:
Yes to both. Although in my neck of the woods, TMO doesn't offer band 12 (yet), so I'm surfing on band 4. And if band 12 for some reason isn't enabled on your device, you can use this app to switch it to band 12 (assuming TMO offers band 12 in your area).
[Nexus 6  General] da0ne:
Looks like Verizon updated there site to MMB29V, anyone get the update yet
[Nexus 6  General] JimSmith94:
It does look like the Verizon rollout was announced today: http://www.androidcentral.com/verizon-galaxy-note-5-getting-some-sweet-sweet-marshmallow
[Nexus 6  General] Cobra11Murderer:
thanks for that!, and def in a b12 area had a Samsung avant and I was one of the first to turn it on.. even told the dev at the time we needed to get a baseband from the stock rom and port it over to the custom one he had made to enable it
[Nexus 6  General] GolfOX:
I don't think Google has posted an update for any Nexus device yet. Think they push the update to all Nexus devices.
[Nexus 6  General] joejoejo:
that was for the note 5 and for the upgrade to marshmallow not a marshmallow security update
[Nexus 6  General] JimSmith94:
Yep, my brother got the Verizon update/upgrade yesterday on his Note 5. It was MMB29K that we got in December, but at least it has the February security update.

March Security Update – Factory Images

These are the factory images.

This is a thread about the OTAs.
[Nexus 6  General] MeltdownSpectre:
Any OTA links for MMB29V yet?
[Nexus 6  General] stangri:
I realize this thread is about OTAs, but maybe my experience will be useful to someone else. I've successfully flashed factory image MMB29V over MMB29Q *without wipe* and retaining all the data (just remove the "-w" from one of the last lines of flash-all script).

Looks like all 6.0.1 updates are safe to flash without wipe.
[Nexus 6  General] Introspective88:
Yes, thanks. That's what I do too but you need an unlocked bootloader to do that.

I would think some people on here don't have that, hence then need for the OTA update. (which doesn't need an unlocked bootloader) .
[Nexus 6  General] muppetmania:
Never mention on here you haven't unlocked your bootloader. You'll get a mob of angry upset 14 year old boys who don't understand corporate security all screaming at you "Duh it's a Nexus, why have it if you haven't unlocked it" etc and soforth.

Fair warning.

---------- Post added at 01:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 PM ----------

Well yea, they kinda have to be, seeing as doing that is pretty much exactly the same thing as applying an OTA.
[Nexus 6  General] Introspective88:
Lucky I'm unlocked then :P
[Nexus 6  General] TokedUp:
No it won't. It just get users confused which leads to ppl talking about Image files rather than OTA links. Start a new thread if u feel like u need to talk about factory images

MMB29V from MMB29Q

https://android.googleapis.com/pack...619e838a4.signed-shamu-MMB29V-from-MMB29Q.zip
[Nexus 6  General] xdatastic:
I tried to pull the URL for the N Preview 1 NPC56P but it seems to use a different method to a normal OTA. This isn't surprising seeing as you have to manually opt-in.

The downloaded OTA file ended up in /data/user/0/com.google.android.gms/app_download/update.zip but I don't have permssions to read from that location as I'm not rooted i presume.

Someone else might have more luck than me.

Another OTA worth grabbing is the N Preview 1\NPC56P back to stable when one opts-out of the beta.
[Nexus 6  General] mowgli762:
Thanks Mate!

Seems lately in here at least - all the pointers to the latest security update OTA URLs have come from down under :) :good: :good:

Many Thanks :)

Has anyone downloaded the Nexus N Developer Preview OTA? Can I install it if I am using TWRP, or do I have to have stock recovery?

NPC56P from MMB29V: https://android.googleapis.com/pack...f7750fa94.signed-signed-shamu-ota-2659757.zip
[Nexus 6  General] TokedUp:
So wait, we can sideload the N preview like a monthly security OTA????
[Nexus 6  General] MiquelFire:
I saw a page to opt in to the preview, and it causes your device to get an OTA update. So yes, you can.
[Nexus 6  General] TokedUp:
Can anyone confirm this? I need my phone for work so cant risk a brick. Can I revert back if things don't go well? TIA
[Nexus 6  General] MiquelFire:
From what I can tell, going back to Marshmallow from the preview (no matter how you get to the preview) will factory reset everything. Opting out of the beta after trying it for a while will cause the OTA to wipe your phone.

You Might be able to flash a factory image to Marshmallow without the wipe, but things might be broken as a result.
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
I've seen a few reports of OTA failure to install completely. Only recourse at that point is to flash the factory images via fastboot. Which means one had better have their bootloader unlocked before trying this, or at least have OEM unlock enabled in dev options.
[Nexus 6  General] da0ne:
i successfully did the OTA yesterday when the beta page went live and have had no issues
[Nexus 6  General] stangri:
Since I got the linked zip offered to me as the OTA thru the Android beta program I didn't do the adb sideload, but the same zip installed just fine on my *stock* N6 and I'm running it now. So far not a single issue (knocking on wood). However there's no tested/confirmed way to come back to MM without wiping the phone as others have already indicated.

Maybe people didn't return their phones back to stock before trying that? I dunno, everything went smoothly for me, but anyways, are you sure any bootloader lock manipulation is needed for flashing *stock* image back? As coming back to MM requires wiping the phone, the affected users might unlock bootloader then, *if* it's needed.

Just wanted +1 this.
[Nexus 6  General] TokedUp:
Thanks for the replies. I signed up for the beta program and got the OTA immediately! I'm installing now. Hope ProFi device service works with N. I read a couple ppl having issues with carrier switching. But I won't mind being stuck on TMo where I am
[Nexus 6  General] luishr:
Is there someone who can put their hands (or that already did it) in the OTA provided by the unenroll from the beta program? It could be useful for people who had problems on the update.

Enviado de meu SM-T705M usando Tapatalk
[Nexus 6  General] stangri:
According to Google, flashing the unenroll OTA will wipe your data. So the affected users might as well flash the MMB29V factory image -- it's no different than flashing that unenroll OTA would be.
[Nexus 6  General] luishr:
But there are some people who tried to apply the N preview OTA with locked bootloader and it failed to boot after the update.

My thought was that this downgrade OTA could help some of those people, because maybe sideloading it through ADB in recovery can bring the device back. Even if it wipe the user data.
[Nexus 6  General] TokedUp:
Everything is running smooth here on ProFi. The only app that I had problems with was XDA Labs. I downloaded the XDA app from the Play store and its fine. Oh well. No problems switching carriers. This is gonna my DD for a while
[Nexus 6  General] olivercervera:
I have unenrolled a N6, but I am not getting the update to go back to MMB29V. Instead, I immediately received the NPC56P update. Very strange. What do you use to grab the URL?

Get a logcat through ADB to catch the URL

I downloaded the OTA earlier when it was posted and was unable to get it to work (even though I've done it for Jan and Feb) via ADB.

I'm not rooted and just have apps from the Play Store and am on the MMB29Q build.

Has anyone else had this issue? Or does anyone have a solution (short of doing a FDR)?

[Nexus 6  General] cyberon:
Quick question guys, my N6 is unencrypted, does flashing the OTA using FlashFire encrypt the phone again?
[Nexus 6  General] najoor:
If you flash an ota that contains the boot image i.e. kernel, regardless of what tool you use to flash it, it will encrypt the phone on the first reboot, unless you exclude the boot image during the flashing. However, if you exclude the kernel, you will not get the benefits of the upgrade, or your system may not boot up properly.
[Nexus 6  General] MiquelFire:
No one got the URL for the OTA yet? Or is everyone who would have gotten it to post switched to N or just flashed the factory image?
[Nexus 6  General] xdatastic:
Only 5X and 6P otas pushed so far it seems. I'm still waiting for it on my N6.
[Nexus 6  General] ahmedmateen:
Ever since Google has started rolling out monthly security updates for N6, I think they have sort of unified the builds. What I mean to say is that I think that all N6 have the same build number & OS version, it's not carrier specific like Verizon, T-Mobile, Project Fi N6 all having different build numbers.

Can someone answer these

1. Am I right in assuming/deducing about the unified builds for N6?

2. If I am does that mean N6 can be upgraded independent of carrier approval?

Pardon me if I am confusing/making no sense, I am a complete noob to this scene.

3. Lastly has anyone having N6 received OTA for the latest MMB29X update?

Is this from today? I remember Google released MOB30D previously but removed a bit later without any explanation. I'm wondering if they have changed any other thing? Also, N6 wasn't included before...
[Nexus 6  General] xdatastic:
Yes, I refreshed my aosp repo just 5 mins before posting. The android-6.0.1_r30\mob29d tag was just released today to open source.

Note that this only includes the open source stuff, any proprietary\closed source changes within the binaries are not included.
[Nexus 6  General] TonikJDK:
Weird, we need a change log from X to this. But it appears no changes to the kernel so I am good. Can flash this and keep my Franco kernel.
[Nexus 6  General] najoor:
The mob30d build has the following:

radio-shamu-d4.01-9625-05.34+fsg-9625-02.111 (identical to npc56p Android N Preview)

bootloader-shamu-moto-apq8084-71.15 (identical to the mmb29x release)
[Nexus 6  General] angourakis:
Great ! Thanks =)

Does that also mean the kernel hasn't changed and, therefore, I can use franco's that I won't be missing anything?

You have to flash OTAs using fastboot commands. If you have TWRP installed I do not believe it will work. There are plenty of threads on how to do this, and other sites have tutorials as well: http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/how-to-install-ota-updates-on-google-nexus-devices/

I've had my N6 for 6 months, I am on AT&T. I have never received an OTA, though I usually end up flashing a zip or the full rom before AT&T finally decides to release it via OTA.

Does "full ota" mean I can use it *from* any MM build? If not -- which one(s)?
[Nexus 6  General] xdatastic:
You can use it for any M build that has a build date lower than the build date of the N build. So any M build < 5 April 2016 IIRC

The dev preview OTAs will not apply over a Marshmallow build that was built later than the preview.

Note this refers to the build.date within the build.prop file and not the Build Number.

Hope that makes sense :)

EDIT: as of today, there are no M builds later than 5 April 2016, so you are all good to use the dev preview OTA on any M build.
