My dime says the OTA your friend got was the October security patch, which he mistook for Marshmallow. Lots of folks out there are making the same mistake.
[Nexus 6  General] Petarsson:
Hi,

I am still on LMY48M, international version, and have not even received the update to LMY48T. As there is already the link in the OP, that would not be a problem...though, I read in so many posts, that it is that easy meanwhile, to upgrade to M via OTA...but it seems I am the only one, not able to find the necessary files and, as it seems the OTA only updates from LMY48T, I have not even received that update!?

Can anybody give me a short information on the situation of international builds? Thanks a lot in advance, at least I then know, where I am standing at the moment.

Regards

P.

Edit: when was LMY48T rolled out?

Don't worry about it man. Just chill out coz no matter what by the end of this month you'll have marshmallow running on your nexus 6.

Google doesn't have a grudge against you so relax, it'll come.

BTW, I got my 48t ota last night, and its a gradual roll out, so you'll receive yours anytime now.

Enjoy.. It's something to look forward to,no?

[Nexus 6  General] Petarsson:
fyi, i just flashed system.img, boot.img and recovery.img to be all stock and ready to receive updates. et voila, on reboot the LMY48T update was downloaded and installed instantly! so, probably being rooted and other changes on the system might not only prevent installing updates, but even to get them shown on your device.

there ist still the chance, that the current update really reached my phone while i flashed the images...could be a weird luck, if this happened in exact these 5 minutes, but possibly... ;)
[Nexus 6  General] EmperorX:
The OTA has indeed started for Sprint users, just saw this on the Android central forums. Hopefully the other carriers get it together here soon...
[Nexus 6  General] Winesnob:
Hopefully someone grabs the URL. Sprint should be moving from LMY48T to the unified build, which will benefit many folks (just not T-Mobile).

I think N6s with build number LMY48T (aka Sprint, international ver., and unlocked version from play store or amazon) ARE getting Android 6.0 OTA

Now we just need a OTA link for that. :laugh:

[Nexus 6  General] Pyrazol:
Somehow I don't understand the benefit of a unified build for the Nexus 6 if even the unlocked international version has to wait for the last stupid US carrier to approve the update to their build :(
[Nexus 6  General] gadjet_carson:
Maybe after this unification, builds can be released much more quickly... short term pain, long term gain...
[Nexus 6  General] Pyrazol:
One can only hope, but why would a unified build speed up the process for the unlocked version? I'd think that if they want to keep the build unified, they can only release ONE update after ALL the carriers have approved it. Which would make the whole thing rather annoying.

I just don't understand why the unlocked international version can't have an update yet if the factory image is already out.
[Nexus 6  General] hmanxx:
Doesn't make sense to start unifying after a year of launch . it defeated the fast release nature of nexus firmware.
[Nexus 6  General] TheBogBrushZone:
LG have just announced that the G4 will be getting the update starting next week. If a non-Nexus device starts updating before the N6, people who are already disproportionately angry about the delay are going to blow a gasket.
[Nexus 6  General] Pyrazol:
Yep, I think the unified build just makes it easier for the Android team because they don't have to maintain all the different release branches. But it doesn't make it faster or better in any way for us (<- IMHO).
[Nexus 6  General] byteless:
can someone update the dates along with the downloads?

what upload made live (or uploaded) when?
[Nexus 6  General] pk572:
According to Sprint, LMY48T to MRA58K "starts on 10/14/15 and will be completed by 10/23/15".

I hope someone currently has LMY48T here gets the update and then grab the link. :)

But I m not sure for other builds......

[Nexus 6  General] enddogg:
I was too impatient to wait for the OTA, so I just flashed the image, but my coworker got the notification a few days ago and asked me if he should update to 6.0. I told him to capture a bug report and the URL before updating. He did ... and we now have LMY48M to MRA58K.

I used this OTA package to update my Verizon Nexus 6 to LMY48T:

LMY48T from LMY48M - https://android.googleapis.com/packa...rom-LMY48M.zip

I'm curious, would my locked Verizon branded phone allow me to sideload the OTA that was designed for AT&T to go to LMY48W from LMY48M? If not, great! If so, would the phone likely download the OTA for MRA58K from LMY48W?
[Nexus 6  General] DA6030:
Yes, provided you meet the on-device requirements for the OTA (e.g., unmodified system partition; which you should if your bootloader's always been locked) you should be able to sideload any OTA that matches the build you're coming from.

Very unlikely. It's not documented, but by my experimentation I believe the logic looks like:

1. What build "should" this phone be on (based on carrier, IMEI, country, are you signed into Play Services with an [MENTION=2036079]google.com[/MENTION] employee address, etc.)?

2. Is there an upgrade path to get from current build to that build? If so, get that update.

In your case, the answer to #1 is that you "should" be on LMY48T, and there is not an upgrade path from LMY48W to LMY48T, so you will not be offerred any OTA until both: MRA58K is greenlit by your carrier AND an upgrade path exists from LMY48W to MRA58K.
[Nexus 6  General] total360:
This is getting beyond a joke now. I respect carrier sign off, but that's the reason I went for a unlocked Nexus from the play store, so I didn't have to wait for carriers to pull their finger out. Looking like my mate with his LG G4 will get the update before me.

I wonder how many loyal Nexus users will be reconsidering their purchases in the future.

Yes I could unlock my bootloader and flash the factory image, however I shouldn't have too....

[Nexus 6  General] AuroEdge:
Ah, that makes sense the way you listed out the OTA decision process. It would seem that if someone had sideloaded the wrong OTA in the past that they might be okay in the present now that the builds are becoming unified. BUT, if there's a carrier and/or IMEI check enabled for this particular OTA to the unified 6.0 build, their phone might not let them update through the normal process. Their only option would be to try and sideload the OTA that will bring them to Marshmellow. I am guessing that the system partition will be the same for all OEM locked Nexus 6 handsets regardless of their OTA update path, but not sure about other partitions.

[Nexus 6  General] DA6030:
This will work if you're coming from LVY48H, which you wouldn't have gotten on Sprint. You can check your current build in Settings-->About phone, and you'll have to find the OTA that matches.

---------- Post added at 03:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 PM ----------

Even for people who end up on the "wrong" branch through legitimate means (e.g., NOT by sideloading zips, but for instance by switching carriers) Google has made it a point to get them to the "right" place eventually, without letting anyone get "stuck". For instance, there exist OTAs to get people from the main branch (e.g., LMY47Z) to the next Fi and T-Mobile builds (e.g. LYZ28E, LVY48E), although we never got the OTA links here because that circumstance is so rare. I assume going the other way is not allowed in this case, primarily because all the carrier branches are versioned higher and "downgrading" would cause a variety of problems. But agreed that unification makes things easier for everyone. :)

Sideload is exactly the same as updating via OTA

[Nexus 6  General] marc.ientilucci:
I'm rooted running a custom M rom and would like to update to 6.0 with unencrypted boot img & then regain root. Are these the correct steps to take (I don't care about losing data as I will restore if the following is correct)

1) revert back to 5.1.1 (I am Fi enabled so LVY48H) - do this by wiping everything in fastboot & then flashing factory image.

2) never boot into Android. Reboot bootloader.

3) sideload OTA (don't boot yet) - reboot bootloader.

3)flash modified kernel (boot.img) that prevents corrupt device & RW (does chainfires modified boot.img work?)

4) flash custom recovery & SuperSU 2.52 beta

5) boot into Android

Does this seem accurate?

End goal: stock 6.0, modified boot.img to allow root & RW on system as well as removing the corrupt device on bootup.
[Nexus 6  General] pk572:
I came from LMY48T. It works. Thanks you guys :)
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:

[Nexus 6  General] dijit4l:
Double crap. I bought my Nexus 6 from Motorola. I should have upgraded to LMY48T all along. :crying:
[Nexus 6  General] DA6030:
If you're able to flash a factory image (e.g., unlocked bootloader), there's no benefit to using the OTA updates - just replace your steps 1-3 by flashing the 6.0 factory image (including bootloader and radio, excluding recovery, userdata and cache).

If you're going from a custom stock to ROM, you will need to wipe data (in recovery or with fastboot commands; preferably not by flashing the factory userdata.img, else you'll end up with only 32GB accessible on your 64GB device, and need to fix that later in recovery).
[Nexus 6  General] marc.ientilucci:
I guess I just need to find a reliable boot.img - the current rom (lightrom) has tons of reboots.

When I originally tried the factory image with chainfires modified boot.img I was getting the red triangle.
[Nexus 6  General] NYZack:
Here's my experience:

I had flashed (with fastboot) the Android M factory image last week over 5.1.1 without flashing userdata. I didn't root M, though 5.1.1 had been rooted. Everything worked perfectly, but I got that annoying "corrupt" red triangle on every boot. Yesterday, I flashed my Marshmallow system with the LVY48F image to try to revert to the last 5.1.1 that was working for me. Then, without rebooting, I flashed the LVY48H OTA. Flashed without a problem. Then, without rebooting, I tried to flash the MRA58K OTA; however, this wouldn't flash, saying I still had the old (LVY48F) signature.

To solve this, I tried to boot, though the boot failed at the last minute (after updating all of my apps, it just rebooted). However, when I booted back into recovery, I *was* able to sideload the MRA58K OTA.

All to no avail, though - I still got the corrupt red triangle.

Ended up restoring my backup; I'll live with the red triangle for now.
