Looks like those who flashed a 5.1 ROM of any kind to try out and then reverted back to a 5.0.X ROM are affected by No inbound calls, and that's only if your on Verizon or T-Mobile because those are the only US carriers with VoLTE enabled. AT&T and Sprint users your probably fine, but all it takes is a simple 5.0.x Radio flash in fastboot to restore incoming call capabilities. Hoping CM12.1 hits soon and Xposed gets updated to solve all our woes and wanting to flash back to 5.0!
[Nexus 6  General] Acreo Aeneas:
I can't flash the 98R radio. Fastboot keeps returning with this error:

fastboot flash radio-shamu-d4.0-9625-02.98.img
unknown partition 'radio-shamu-d4.0-9625-02.98.img'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'radio-shamu-d4.0-9625-02.98.img'

Is the IMG file supposed to be BIN perhaps? Or is there something I'm missing?

Typo: the latest radio is from the E build, no?

Are you sure so does that mean the Verizon build is the E build? Because I think that radio was up before the E build. Or like I said are they one and the same.

As far as I can tell it hasn't been released yet. Maybe tomorrow?
[Nexus 6  General] squattingdonkey:
On T-Mobile, just flashed the new radios. It takes a little longer to get my LTE connection, but once it does it appears to be a bit more stable and much faster. Where before I was getting 5 Mbps on LTE at my home, I'm now getting 25 Mbps. Might be coincidence, but who knows. Well, time to flash LMY47E. We'll see how things go.

Thanks for posting the radios!
[Nexus 6  General] kingston73:
Thanks, what rom are you on and are you getting phone calls ok? I've been hesitant to flash because of some of the issues I've been reading about from tmo users.
[Nexus 6  General] squattingdonkey:
I haven't had the chance to test phone calls yet, but I was able to call out just fine. Texting is also working fine. I'll let you know when my wife calls me on her way home if its broken for me or not. If worst comes to worst I can just flash back to the old radios. Meh

One thing I just noticed was that I am getting double texts again with enhanced LTE on. I didn't have that problem on the old radio. It is safe to just flash back to them, right?
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:

[Nexus 6  General] dp917:
I see that now, didn't look at his shamu thread. Too bad
[Nexus 6  General] Acreo Aeneas:
I didn't notice any difference between 98R and 95R. I ended up settling on 95R just in case there was some irregularities, considering this 98R came from a Verizon package (god knows what else Verizon deemed to mess with).

Phone calls and texts worked fine with 98R (non-VoLTE). I did notice lock on to LTE took slightly longer than 95R. It seemed less strong when I was commuting to work compared with 95R, but that's circumstantial and should be taken with a grain of salt. My route passes me under lots of tall and short buildings along the way.

As for Enhanced LTE (aka VoLTE), I couldn't get it to work with either radio with the 3/15+3/16 builds of Chroma. Once I enabled Enhanced, there went my voice and hangouts calling. I could not hear, they could not hear, and this applied to both incoming and outgoing calls. Texts, however, worked fine. I did not get double texts unlike someone else above.

---------- Post added at 02:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 PM ----------

Verizon probably doesn't care much about OTA's for devices that they didn't sell. Verizon just started selling the N6's themselves and they ship with LMY47E.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:

[Nexus 6  General] hlxanthus:
Guys, you need to understand,the 47E radio, 98R will likely NEVER be flashable. The 47E package never was and likely never will be released as an OTA. Only the OTA radio file type can be flashed from recovery. Radio.img, like what is in the nexus factory images, can ONLY be installed from the bootloader. Please understand this, it will likely never happen unless by some miracle that radio is pushed as part of a different build (for instance, the new 47I OTA captured today for Australian carriers which I don't know which radio it boasts).

[Nexus 6  General] pyrostic:

[Nexus 6  General] slider112:
Yeah, I figured that was probably the case. Was just hopeful that somebody could pull it off. I guess in lieu of a flashable zip I'll grab the radio image from the OP and flash through Wug's NRT once I find a PC.

BTW, I believe I read the 47I image has the 95R radio. Probably won't get lucky with that one.

---------- Post added at 10:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 AM ----------

Because 47D was released as an OTA. That's the hold up here. VZW is selling all of their N6's already running 47E, so unless they release 47E as an OTA to any outliers that need updating, if any, it probably never will be released as an OTA.
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
OK thanks for the explanation.
[Nexus 6  General] hovercraftdriver:
So I'm on VZW with a VZW device that came with 47e and 5.1/98R radio. If I fastboot to 5.0.1 so I can use non-5.1 roms AND receive phone calls (I know, not VoLTE), will I have to change APN's at all? Are the radios themselves interchangeable between devices and networks?

Thanks

[Nexus 6  General] kingston73:
If you update to a build from 3/22 or newer it should work with the new radios. I think most of not all the 5.1 roms fixed the no calls issue in that build. Chroma, euphoria, and dirty unicorns (latest test build on g+) all work for me with tmo and the 95r radio.
