I have a couple of questions. any info will be greatly appreciated.

I have an n6 on vzw running android 5.1 build number LMY47D. Would I be able to flash the Verizon 6.0 / MRA58K OTA update on the current version of android that I am running? Would my data be wiped if I did flash the OTA update? I will backup my data just in case, but I was wondering what I can expect.
[Nexus 6  General] KainamHD:
There is no LMY47D -> MRA58K OTA update.

But if there was, the OTA update would not wipe data.
[Nexus 6  General] otariq:
hey guys. just got my nexus 6 in the mail today and when i try to update it keeps saying it's up to date and won't pull in an ota. currently, i'm on tmobile using lyz28k. should i first use the LYZ28M from LYZ29K OTA and then the MRA58K OTA?
[Nexus 6  General] stevexyz0:
As the other reply stated, OTA will not wipe your data. However, you are way behind and would need several OTAs. If you look at the first page of this thread, you should be able to follow this path:

LMY47D

->LMY47Z

-> LMY48I

->LMY48M

->LMY48T

->MRA58K

That's a lot of OTAs! But it should work! I started out on LMY47E. Other than that, my path has been the same, except I either applied the OTAs when they came out or dirty flashed the factory images (my bootloader is unlocked).
[Nexus 6  General] Rycee13:
Verizon no release date for software upgrade

I got a response from Verizon in Google+. I asked where my Marshmallow update was for my Nexus 6. They stated there is no release date for a software update. Ugh

Question

Just bought this phone and it is running 5.0.1 how do I go about installing 6.0 , without root
[Nexus 6  General] stevexyz0:
Either unlock the bootloader and flash the factory image, or see post #1 in this thread and install a sequence of OTAs using "adb sideload" to get you to MRA58K, see my post above for example sequence. No rooting or unlocking required if you use OTAs.
[Nexus 6  General] georged98:
I read somewhere that you can delete the "userdata.img" from the MRA58K zip file and it won't remove you data and configurations. Sort of like updating with an OTA file. Is this correct??
[Nexus 6  General] stevexyz0:
Yes this is called "dirty flashing" and if you search other threads there are many guides available. You must have an unlocked bootloader to do this. I did not mention it because the poster I quoted said he "just" got his phone so wiping data by unlocking bootloader should not be a problem. This thread is about using OTA files to upgrade without rooting or unlocking.
[Nexus 6  General] sandeshdoolipeta:
Hi ,

So , i just bought a nexus 6 (unlocked from play store). And it still has android 5.0. I have waited a couple of days , but no updates yet. How does the ota updates work ? Has my phone missed the chance , and is sideloading my only option ?
[Nexus 6  General] AuroEdge:
It is getting kind of difficult to navigate this thread. The title suggests it's about how to obtain OTA URLs, but there's all kinds of other topics being discussed in here.
[Nexus 6  General] NOSTALGIA:
you have to go through ota updates if you dont want to go with rooting.. so you hve to wait...
[Nexus 6  General] Joshua Mr PC Repair:
yeah just flashed factory 6.0 with the tool kit and oem locked it after
[Nexus 6  General] NOSTALGIA:
so you rooted your phone then.. lol

I was able to ADB Sideload with OTA update I'm 100% stock unrooted still locked with stock boot loader about a week ago and everything working 100% no issues at all I'm on sprint
[Nexus 6  General] NYZack:
Rooting and unlocking bootloader are two different things. You need to unlock the bootloader to install a factory image (without using the OTA process), but you certainly don't need to root.
[Nexus 6  General] jdice:
For the new guys like me

First post, long time information leech.

I am creating this post because I am new to the nexus line I figure there are others as well. I have never sideloaded an OTA update. The video on youtube and the wugfresh dot com site kind of put it all together. You dont need to be rooted or unlocked to get the nexus upgraded.

Verizon Nexus 6 - Locked

Out of the box came with: LMY47E

Want to get it to: MRA58K

1. Do a search for "Nexus Root Tool Kit How To Sideloading a OTA Update" on youtube

2. Download Nexus Root Toolkit from wugfresh dot com

3. Get all the drives and apps that it says you need.

4. Download these builds from the OP

- LMY47Z from LMY47E

- LMY48I from LMY47Z

- LMY48M from LMY48I

- LMY48T from LMY48M

- MRA58K from LMY48T

5. Watch the video on all the steps

Note: on the last build LMY48T, Nexus root kit does not know that build. Just select LMY48M and continue. It will tell you that it found T but I think you just click Cancel and move on.

Also: You will need to be in USB Debugging Mode, google it if you don't know how.

This will bring you up to 6.0 with out unlocking the boot loader. may take you an hour or so but you will still have all your settings.

Hope this helps

Unsure, First Time Nexus User

Hi all,

First time Nexus user, got myself a Nexus 6 and it's nice so far. No Android M, so I'm here looking.

I from what I can tell am on LRX210 - XT1100 - 5.0.

OTA isn't working, so I don't know if it's even meant to be 5.1 or what?

Anyway, I'm guessing I would need to root (which I need, hate ads) also I believe an unlocked boot-loader also?

Just want to confirm, Unlock boot-loader, root and then flash base image of Android 6, correct?

What image would I download.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

[Nexus 6  General] gbyrne2011:
Thank you. been looking through this and have unlocked the bootloader, installed root and TRWP Recovery, backed up and finally ready for Android 6.

But the question is, what build for android 6 would I use as LRX210 doesn't seem to match up with any 6.0 maybe I'm reading this wrong?
[Nexus 6  General] stevexyz0:
If you have unlocked the bootloader, you can simply install the Marshmallow factory image (MRA58K) from the main Google page, and you have no need of this thread. This thread is only about collecting OTA URLs, not flashing images.

If in spite of unlocking the bootloader you still wish to apply OTAs to arrive at Marshmallow, it may take you a couple hours but see post #1 in this thread. You would need to install a sequence of OTAs following a path such as:

LRX21O -> LMY47D -> LMY47Z -> LMY48I -> LMY48M -> LMY48T -> MRA58K (Marshmallow)

Not sure why you'd go this route after unlocking, but I'm just trying to say something relevant to this thread. Also note the build you have is LRX21O (that's twenty-one "oh", not two one zero), in case you're having trouble searching for the build number somewhere. For further support on installing OTAs, see the help desk thread linked previously.

There are new 5.1.1 factory builds posted today: LMY48X, LMY48Y and LYZ28N (T-Mobile), all apparently the November security updates. So far, at least, there is no new build for this security generation beginning LVY...., which would fit the pattern for the Project Fi fork.
[Nexus 6  General] theTyGuy:
What is this LMY48Y why still no 6.0 ota for att
[Nexus 6  General] boomerbubba:
I don't think we can tell yet which of these builds is the successor 5.1.1 build for the AT&T fork (most recent prior build LMY48W). The most recent prior build of the generic Nexus fork is LMY48T.

Most likely, one of the newer builds (LMY48X and LMY48Y) is the security patch for the AT&T fork and the other is for the generic Nexus fork. We will have to see the OTA filenames to know which is which. So far no OTAs are known.

As for the delay in 6.0 for AT&T, who knows?

Enable Developer Options by going into Settings > About phone and tap lots of times on the Build Number. Back out in Settings, a new options called Developer Options has appeared. Enable USB Debugging, then at the top of the Dev Options list, do 'Take Bug Report'. after a couple of mins it will give a notification. Tap on the notification and send yourself the bug report to your own email.

In the email attachment, search for a URL ending with .zip
[Nexus 6  General] theTyGuy:
Is it near the top or the bottom of the attached file
[Nexus 6  General] xdatastic:
it depends when you last rebooted (which clears the log) and when it last checked against the update servers.

just open it on a desktop and search for ".zip" is easiest. It'll be a really long url.

[Nexus 6  General] stevexyz0:
If you look at the builds in post #1 there are not actually very many options. The safest approach is to follow the path that goes through the builds that are designated for your carrier. The path I mentioned is the generic path (except for LMY47E) which is used by Verizon, sprint, and many international carriers. T-mobile and Project Fi have their own dedicated set of builds as documented in the first post.

Thank you. I just sideloaded this onto my unlocked version on Fi. No problem as of now, so let's wait for the MRA58R, but I wonder what's the difference though. Btw, seems like this has never been mentioned - the boot is still showing the old Google logo. My guess is they're just reusing the existing August build and slightly modifying it, which means we probably won't see it on our pre-2015 devices until 6.0.1. I know nothing about boot images, but is it possible that they simply replace it with the new one? Google still isn't the name when it comes to updating fine details :p

[MENTION=3423169]oldblue910[/MENTION], Verizon has just greenlit shamu build MRA58R for OTA push (so there's probably an MRA58R-from-LMY48T out there? Then again this device convinced me to stop trying to guess OTA paths).

[Nexus 6  General] boomerbubba:
Since you are rooted, no OTA file is going to be useful to you. You can, however, flash the LYZ28N factory image available on Google's developer page. This build, we think, is the 5.1.1 successor on the T-Mobile fork that includes the November patch.

Any further how-to support discussion does not belong in this thread, however. This is a reference thread for collecting OTA links only. If you need more help flashing, open a thread in the Q&A Forum, or see the tutorial at the top of the General forum.

[Nexus 6  General] stevexyz0:
The OTAs bring you to the same build as the factory image. There is no carrier bloat in the OTAs. Any "bloat" comes in the form of stuff in the OEM partition (which is not addressed by OTAs nor factory images) or the apps that get downloaded automatically when you first install (which can easily be removed).
[Nexus 6  General] cherry919:
Hello, I'm Looking for the OTA link for Nexus 6 MRA58R from MRA48N. Thanks!
[Nexus 6  General] boomerbubba:
It remains to be seen whether this is a valid upgrade path for which an OTA will be created. It is possible that MRA58R is a special new fork for Verizon. If you browse upthread a bit, you will see that VZW has been pushing out an OTA to MRA58R direct from LMY48T.

But maybe there is. Who knows? There is a whole zoo of factory image builds out there right now, and we don't know what OTA paths between them will exist. If anyone captures an OTA link for MRA58R from MRA48N, please report it here.
[Nexus 6  General] abuttino:
I assure you MRA58R is not a Verizon only build. I am running it on a Google purchased Nexus 6 using Verizon's network.
[Nexus 6  General] se7en_76:
yes, you're right, there's a jungle :eek:

anyway MRA58R doesn't seems a special image for VZW because google, on factory images page, has not specified the carrier (i suppose this could be a good reason :o)

obviously, i'm not sure about this.... :confused:
[Nexus 6  General] abuttino:
I thought Google was merging all updates. No more carrier updates after marshmallow

[Nexus 6  General] MysticKing32:
I'm on Att running the mra58r build so I'm pretty sure it's unified. (Flashed the factory image not ota)
[Nexus 6  General] boomerbubba:
That's what I thought, too. But then this mystery MRA58R build popped up. Maybe Verizon insisted on it. There is no official statement saying so, but scuttlebutt says this may be for Verizon. There was no official statement for the October security releases for Lollipop, either. But that cycle spawned a surprise new fork for AT&T.

As for OTAs, all we can do is wait and see what surfaces.
[Nexus 6  General] abuttino:
Well.. 58R was a very small update for framework. It might have been needed to take VZW out of the equation.

I run a lite version found over in the ROMs forum it came out the day after the 58N (11-01) update.

All is pure speculation but I am guessing that's why this happened.
[Nexus 6  General] xdatastic:
MRA58R contains a minor bug fix for icons for VoLTE. It is being rolled out for Verizon customers.

[Nexus 6  General] BrianUsher:
I assume it fixes an issue I've been having with MRA58K (sideloaded weeks ago). Any call made over LTE shows the HD calling icon, even calls to landlines or other cell phones that aren't HD compatible. My wife's Nexus 6, which just got the update to MRA58R last night, works correctly in this respect, only showing the HD icon when it's actually an HD call.

[Nexus 6  General] boomerbubba:
As explained upthread, the MRA58N build basically adds the November security patch to MRA58K for Nexus phones in general. If a Fi user's phone is running MRA58K, which is the baseline Marshmallow build, presumably it would be getting an OTA update to MRA58N. Or theoretically, a Fi user's phone running one of the latest Lollipop builds could also get an OTA direct to MRA58N.
