There

are

indeed carrier specific builds on Nexus devices. (I'm not saying that 47I is, but there have been in the past: the Nexus 5 had one, the Nexus 7 LTE had one, the Galaxy Nexus had plenty, etc.)

But, yes, you can flash any build you want, even carrier-specific builds. If 47I is a carrier-specific build to Australian carriers, it doesn't mean that it will not perform as well on your device.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] slider112:
Yes, I realize that, however all of those carrier builds were clearly marked as such by Google on their factory image page:

- N5 build KTU84Q - 4.4.4 Release 2 (For 2Degrees/NZ, Telstra/AUS and India ONLY)

- N7 LTE build KVT49L - 4.4.2_r2 (Verizon)

- Galaxy Nexus builds were carrier specific simply due to the fact that there were several different devices available (2 maguro's, toro and toroplus), based on carrier technology.

I guess my point was just that if these were carrier specific builds for the N6 then Google would have marked them as such, based on what they've done in the past.

SMS restore HELP!!

Searched the interwebz for this and read through numerous pages in this thread.

I have successfully Rooted, unlocked, and intstalled TWRP on my Nexus 6. I used this tool to backup my SMS, it saved to a folder on my computer C:\Program Files\WugFresh Development\Nexus Root Toolkit\data\RS_BackupRestoreApps. (com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore-7.27.apk) This lives in there. However, it is not on my phone. when I run the SMS Backup and Restore app it does not find that SMS.apk.

I have tried to copy it to a folder on my phone but get an error Cannot copy com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore-7.27.apk you do not have permission to create this item? I am attempting to put it on the root of the Internal storage, or in the Download folder.

My question is how do I get this backup on my phone so I can restore my SMS?

Thanks in advance for your assistance...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] WugFresh:
You are confusing some key points. An "APK" files is an app file - like all the apps on your phone. That app is not the same thing as your backup. By default your sms backups go to here: [NexusRootToolkit\device_backups\my-sms-backups] and it backs it up as XML files. The xml files are what contain your texts... not the app itself. If you changed the default path of the backup, then look for you xml files there. Thats what you are trying to restore to your device, and use SMSBackupRestore app to restore. If you left everything default, and just used the restore button in the kit, it should have pushed it for you, and you could restore it. I hope that help.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Jaeson2308:
Yes my bad... I understand that, and that's what has me :confused: I used the tools as explained and shown in some of the videos. Left the default path to backup. After restoring apps and other media, I went to restore the SMS and got the error stated earlier.

I checked the path you provided C:\Program Files\WugFresh Development\Nexus Root Toolkit\device_backups\my-sms-backups <-- This folder is empty?

So any other idea as to where it could've gone?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] HipKat:
I'm the same way. I'm OCD about having the latest releases/updates. I wasn't trying to condemn anyone, just curious since i read it was for Australian devices
[Nexus 6 Android Development] info[]box1:
Yeah I don't think twice when comes to newest build. By the it's flashing that's when I start thinking this brick my phone. Had 1 true brick in my Greek life span. Plenty hard soft bricks.

Virus false positive?

I am getting what I assume is a false positive for "Win32:Evo-gen [Susp]" virus on the 2.0.5 version with Avast! antivirus. I did run it through VirusTotal and got only one other hit. Weird, though, since no previous version got a virus hit.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] WugFresh:
Please report it to avast so they can review and whitelist it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] old_fart:
Got a new Avast update this morning and it fixed the 'false positive'. So, the anti-virus had me reboot and then the NRT 2.05 had me reboot, too.

Thank you WugFresh for a fantastic tool !
[Nexus 6 Android Development] WugFresh:
Yeah, I reported it to them. Glad they got that corrected. I actually purchased a code signing certificate that I used for this release and will use for all future releases, so hopefully it will help establish better trust with the AV companies moving forward. I also send samples to a batch list of vendors when I release. Good to see that I am getting no more flags now. Cheers.

New to Nexus, not new to development.

Hello Wug & crew.

I just picked up a Nexus 6 on the cheap and had some questions being a first time Nexus (phone) owner.

The device is purchased directly from Motorola and will be used on the tmobile network.

Now I know that the 5.1 update was released recently and there were several different build #'s, T-Mobile being one iteration for sure.

I guess my main questions are, if I use the toolkit to unlock, root & decrypt which build will that get me as I'm sure Wug hasn't built specific carrier releases into the toolkit.

Secondly, upon further releases if I wanted to stay in line with what T-Mobile was releasing (here's looking at you wifi calling).. Do I need to fully restore back to a locked bootloader, unroot and encryption?

This all has me a little more confused with the addition of 1 device across all carriers. I've only owned nexus tablets up until this time. (nexus 7 2012, 2013, Nexus 10 & 9)

Thanks for the help in advance!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] russlowe73:
The toolkit doesn't change your build when you are unlocking and rooting. The t mobile build is the M build, which can only be flashed by OTA, or adb sideload. If you are on 5.0, your phone should prompt you to upgrade when your T mobile Sim is installed. As for further upgrades, ( wifi calling ) you have to be stock unroofed to take ota, but you do not need to relock the boot loader.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
Ah. Understood. So best to take the tmobile ota then proceed.

Thanks

What would this tool have to do with you flashing ROMs? The current CM12.1 is still Alpha. Why don't you go to that thread and ask. If you are trying to flash the old CM on top of 5.1 I am not even sure that would work. Again wrong thread.

I just got my nexus 6 today.... going to use this toolkit now. Does it make a difference which order we do the unlock, root and decrypt? or should i decrypt first?

---------- Post added at 09:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 AM ----------

well.. i went ahead i tried this process but on my device (moto purchased, running on T-mobile) running build LMY47M is not listed. So i chose "ANY BUILD". Problem lies when selecting the "no force encrypt" option. I am giving the message "this feature can not be performed with device set to ANY"

Thoughts?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
Why would you do that, just follow the steps, don't choose any build, have the tool kit search your device for the correct build.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
I know how to use it he toolkit man. Used it on tons of devices.

I did choose to auto detect and "any build" Shamu is what it gave me. I did not arbitrarily choose it.

Looking further into it I see that that build is not listed either
[Nexus 6 Android Development] DebianDog:
Since you were on t-mobile and we do not have a Google factory image "any build" is the correct option to pick. however I don't know how functional the tool is for doing everything you would like to do. If you just need to inject root or install TWRP. I think that would be fine. maybe someone with tmobile experience can chime in.

Sent from my Google N6 on VZ
[Nexus 6 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
Yes. I believe to get root and unlock will not be an issue.

Just wondering what the significance of the M build is and will I be able to get back on the M build if I needed to.

Hopefully a tmo customer of Wugfresh can chime in
[Nexus 6 Android Development] WugFresh:
When I make the no-force encrypt images they are build specific. Since google never released a factory pack for LMY47M, I never made one for that build. That is why "any build" doesn't work with no-force encrypt because its a build specific operation.

There is a good chance that the LMY47I no-force encrypt image will work on M, but I haven't tried myself. Just set your build as LMY47I and use advanced utilities > fastboot flash > boot/kernel > no force encrypt. Worst case scenario you will have to reflash stock.

Yeah, you can always flash back to the build before M, and Sideload the OTA zip to get to M.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
OK thanks chief.

I wonder with this tmo build if it's possible to let's say flash one of your other most recent 5.1 builds stock then see if tmo would push the "m" build over that by checking manually through software updates on the device.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] WugFresh:
Since there is no LMY47I to LMY47M ota zip in the wild (to my knowledge), I doubt it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
My only concern is losing any tmobile specific features that come with the M build. I think volte was one... I'm sure wifi calling will be another in the very near future

---------- Post added at 04:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:05 PM ----------

Hey Wug.. I think Scott from CLEAN rom is claiming this stock rooted build is built off the Google Lmy47M image.

Would that be what you would need?

Any modification to the system and boot partitions should prevent an OTA from working. You'd have to reflash them.

Nexus Newb

Sammy convert here. Just got the N6 yesterday, unlocked and rooted it this morning with this kit and all is well. I just unlocked and rooted without checking the TWRP add. Now, can I add TWRP without losing the current setup ? It seems a custom recovery needs to be installed before the noencrypt file is flashed so I can wipe data. I have TWRP manager installed if I can use that straight from the phone to install, as well as flashify to flash the no encrypt file. A bit confused as to what route and sequence to follow. Sorry,first Nexus device.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] clothednblack:
Just rename the "zip" to jpg or something like that. "bootanimation.jpg" and the boot ani and noise will be gone

Go to advanced (bottom left) and then just select to add twrp (top middle colum) that's all, it will add twrp and you won't loose anything.

Flashing a ROM doesn't change the radio. CleanRom hung because you were trying to flash a 5.1 ROM on 5.0 boot/radio.
