some what confused what the best approach is

I have a nexus 6 on 5.01 , rooted with the standard recovery.

not sure what variant LMY47I or D or E. I is newest?

Best options appear to be from LRX22C?

install cutom recovery and follow this

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/development/fxz-nexus-6-recovery-flashable-fastboot-t3066052

or take

take factory image - Unzip everything and keep the following images: bootloader, radio, boot, recovery and system.

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-shamu-moto-apq8084-71.08.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash radio radio-shamu-d4.0-9625-02.95.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot format cache

fastboot reboot

fully stock 5.1 without losing your data.
[Nexus 6  General] :
"I" is the newest build listed on factory images page.
[Nexus 6  General] happiboi:
I was in same scenario as you... on 5.01 , rooted with the standard recovery. Letting you know I took LMY47I factory images and went with the latter of your options there with no issues. I'm on 5.1 now, rooted with stock recovery again.

Has anyone with the global GSM version received the update? Everyone has flashed it but I'm curious to know why Google isn't rolling out the update, more bugs need to be squashed?
[Nexus 6  General] starfish_001:
Thanks, good to know ....
[Nexus 6  General] g.andy:
It is a procedure tested?

format the cache does not involve data loss?

It also works on nexus 5?

[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
Tested by the OP on his own device.

Format cache does not touch data.

No one here has tested it on an N5.
[Nexus 6  General] HankStorm:
Dumb question. Is it safe to pull the Sim with the phone on or should I turn it off before doing that?
[Nexus 6  General] :
I would turn it off first.
[Nexus 6  General] ooofest:
Probably good advice - FYI, I pulled my SIM while running, just before factory resetting to see if I could trigger the OTA and there were no problems. Put the SIM back in after the OS was updated and I had shut it down again., though.

- ooofest
[Nexus 6  General] :
Added tidbit to OP explaining that having unencrypted stock kernel will cause OTA to fail.
[Nexus 6  General] falconfox:
Can someone help me? My Nexus 6 has apps that frequently crash (Gmail, Inbox, ESPN, etc.). Also, when rotating the screen, sometimes only half of the screen gets rendered. Any easy fixes? Thanks
[Nexus 6  General] :
Why are you posting this here? This thread is for OTA help. ???

As for your issues, the screen rotation thing is a known bug. For your app crashes, try rebooting to recovery and wiping cache.

Next time, please search and post in the right section. :)
[Nexus 6  General] HankStorm:
I spoke with Google support yesterday on this topic as I haven't gotten the 5.1 OTA on my N6 purchased from Moto which I use on Verizon. I was told that while the OTA's might be pushed out from Google's servers, Google only controls the release for devices bought from the Play Store. The carriers control when updates get released to the devices that they sell. From Google's perspective, Moto is the same as any carrier for devices bought directly from them. It is up to Moto to OK the release of the 5.1 OTA to our devices.

I'll be calling Moto today to get their take on this topic. Will update if anything useful comes out of the conversation.

BTW, I'm aware of the SIM pull/factory reset and sideload vs. ADB methods for getting an OTA. I have been holding out because I don't feel like setting my phone up again or losing saved app/game data or learning how to use ADB.
[Nexus 6  General] HankStorm:
Moto was not surprisingly unhelpful. Long story short the guy I spoke with said they aren't responsible for approving any updates and that it would need to come from Google or the carrier. I'm not going to hold my breath that Verizon will authorize anything for phones not sold by them and am reluctant to call them to ask. Guess I am going the factory reset route after all.
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
I can assure you that VZW will never facilitate an OTA for devices that are not purchased from them. Your only choices are the ones you've previously said you don't want.
[Nexus 6  General] atcchris:
It is less secure... But if you unlock your boot loader and leave it unlocked, you can flash factory images without wiping. It seems easier to me than sideloading the OTA. If you want to keep your bootloader locked, and still not wipe, adb sideload is the way.
[Nexus 6  General] HankStorm:
Hadn't had time to update via the other methods discussed but was just surprised to get a notification of the 5.1 update being ready to install. About to leave work so I'll update at home tonight. Will be interesting to see which build I get.
[Nexus 6  General] HankStorm:
Build was the one for Verizon - LMY47E.
[Nexus 6  General] sseuorosal:
I'm assuming since I'm rooted with my device unencrypted
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
If you`re system is modified in any way you can download the OTA but it can`t be installed. If that`s what you mean.
[Nexus 6  General] beeks92868:
I have a moto purchased nexus 6 on VZW and today received the 5.1 update ota. I had about given up on Verizon

If I'm Using LMY47D Can I use the OTA file for LYZ28E when it's drops to update my T-Mobile Nexus 6 to 5.1.1?
[Nexus 6  General] xdatastic:
Not according to T-Mobile support docs. You need to be on lmy47m
[Nexus 6  General] :
Not if the OTA is looking for LMY47M.
[Nexus 6  General] inick73376:
So even if the OTA gets posted on here, I would have to go back to 5.0.1 to use the OTA? Damn I don't feel like loosing all my stuff :/
[Nexus 6  General] censation:
LMY47M is Android version 5.1, so you don't have to revert back to 5.0.1.
[Nexus 6  General] inick73376:
Ah OK Thank's Censation, I just was wondering since I'm on LMY47D
[Nexus 6  General] :
Let the games begin.

[Nexus 6  General] censation:
Ooooh, sorry I didn't realize you had version D. Yes, you would have to revert back to 5.0.1 to get LMY47M, in order to get LYZ28E.
[Nexus 6  General] inick73376:
Ah what the hell then, I guess I'll lose everything. :/
[Nexus 6  General] censation:
Not necessarily... I used this post link to revert from LMY47E back to LRX22C (5.0.1) without having to root. I used the adb command from KossBoss to backup my apps/data. From there, I just sideloaded LMY47M, and restored my apps and data using the adb command from the KossBoss website. You will have to unlock the bootloader, however. Just remember, if you want to re-lock the bootloader, let the phone boot up once within LMY47M (this will wipe your data once more, fyi).

If you're not comfortable performing these steps, you can use WugFresh's application, which is user friendly. Search the XDA forums on how to use and restore data/apps.

Best way after you flashed 47M is to sideload the OTA if you`re impatient (like most of us ;)), it might take a while before everyone gets it.

I can toggle it on but it doesn't stick. Running the build on sprint right now with the new radio.
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
Highly doubtful. To the best of my knowledge, wifi calling on Sprint users an entirely different technology than T-Mobile.
[Nexus 6  General] maddoggin:
does wifi-calling work after flashing this? also this must be sideloaded on stock recovery right?
[Nexus 6  General] :
If you're on T-Mobile and are flashing the whole ROM, yes it should work. Also yes to needing stock recovery for sideload.
[Nexus 6  General] maddoggin:
ive tried sideloading but i get an error. i believe its because the device loses connection with p.c and i have had to disconnect and reconnect the device. does anyone have a fix to prevent this from happenning?
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
without flashing the updated rom, the new radio does not have volte working and lte is flaky(on tmobile), both this version of the radio and from the modem thread.

Basically, that is the fix. Disconnect when your phone says "send file" and then reconnect.

[Nexus 6  General] maddoggin:
is it safe to relock and unlock bootloader on lmy47m 5.1.0? i read somewhere that there was a problem doing this on lmy47d or something. locking and relocking the bootloader erases everything and formats the partiton thats why i ask. i was rooted and had twrp (i will never do again) and twrp does something to the system partition when making backups and such. ive factory data reset twice already but still get the error about unkinwn files in system partiton when trying to sideload. i looked at the recovery logs and it says something about tzdata and twrp recovery
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
If your bootloader is unlocked just go into bootloader mode and fastboot erase system and after that fastboot flash system system.img, then fastboot flash userdata userdata.img and reboot. If the BL is locked unlock it first.
[Nexus 6  General] maddoggin:
i got the lmy47m images from this thread but what is the oem.img? is that the data.img?

[Nexus 6  General] maddoggin:
well heres the thing. i was rooted and had twrp on my phone. when creating a backup twrp does something to the system partiton. anyways i reflashed stock lmy47m recovery so i could sideload the 28E ota from t-mobile but i keep getting error status 7 inknown files in partiton installation aborted. so i did a factory data reset and still got the same errors. so im thinking that maybe theres still some twrp crap on my system partiton that is causing error. locking and relocking bootloader will reformat the system partiton which is what i think i need to do
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
The 47M and 47V carrier specific images are not posted on the Google dev. site, i guess you could look on Google to find a fastboot image. As posted in my sig. i would only lock the boot loader in very specific cases. An unlocked BL can be your salvation if you screw up (can happen to anyone).
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
Fastboot format userdata will do the same thing.
[Nexus 6  General] maddoggin:
can i fastboot format system and then fastboot flash system.img

or will fastboot erase system then fastboot flash system.img do the same thing?
[Nexus 6  General] :
Fastboot flash the system image for the version you're on. A factory reset won't get rid of root.
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
I would flash the posted LRX22C from the Google dev. site and then the OTA to LMY47M and then the 48E OTA in sideload. Look in the first item of my sig, it contains all the OTA`s. Make sure to erase system when you flash 22C to get rid of all unwanted stuff you have right now.
[Nexus 6  General] danger86:
I have a rooted and unlocked N6.

Can I only unroot it in order to flash the new T-Mobile OTA or should I lock too (therefore wipe my system)???

Can I do it w/o wiping my system?
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
Dude, haven`t you read about the mass bricking because of locked bootloaders? DO NOT LOCK THE BL.

No, i would erase and flash system.img and flash userdata.img and after booting up sideload the 48E OTA.

No easy way unfortunately:

1. Downgrade to LRX22C https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&confirm=no_antivirus&id=0B_zuNWpIf1ujbXJDLTJLNWctSmM and reboot

2. Sideload this OTA zip https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&confirm=no_antivirus&id=0B_zuNWpIf1ujaWVaTE8ydktuODA LMY47M and reboot

3. Sideload this OTA zip https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&confirm=no_antivirus&id=0B_zuNWpIf1ujMzVtSmllOTVLWG8 LMY48E.

4. Done.
[Nexus 6  General] droidednvoided:
That's what I thought unfortunately. I can do these steps in wugfresh toolkit right?
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
Yes i guess so but adb is so much easier and more fun and you have total control and with toolkits you don`t.
[Nexus 6  General] maddoggin:
didnt work! for me
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
Just follow the procedure in post 210 in this thread. Make sure to erase system before you start to flash to get rid of all system files including root/superSU. Takes about 30 minutes.
[Nexus 6  General] maddoggin:
im on lmy47m i was under the impression that flashing back from 5.1 to 5.0 wasnt allowed. something about bootloader issues causing bricks. is this true?
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
You can downgrade the firmware version but not the bootloader ;)
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
When you say it didn't work, can you be more specific?
[Nexus 6  General] maddoggin:
got the lmy47m factory images from http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/t-mobile-lmy47m-factory-image-t3116511. i noticed it doesnt have a userdata.img instead it has an oem.img. i ran fastboot flash system system.img then fastboot flash userdata oem.img ( found out the hard way that this isnt the userdata.img for lmy47m) because it sent 0 files to my phone. checked the userdata.img for lmy47d and its 145 gb. anyways my phone booted into a message said my data was corrupted and needed to do a factory reset. so i did. it booted fine and then i tried to sideload the 5.1.1 update and still stops at 48% with error "unknown files in system partiton installation abborted"

---------- Post added at 08:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 PM ----------

before 5.1 i was able to go into bootloader and oem lock then oem unlock bootloader and this would reformat everything. now flashing a custom recovery that creates other partitons in your system and then trying to flash stock otas is hard. either you stay on custom recovery and flash custom roms or you stay stock. going custom and then tryong to go back to stock is almost impossible as ive been trying to update to 5.1.1 all day today

especially when you dont have the factory images to go back to stock. or when you have updates from 10 different sources
[Nexus 6  General] danger86:
With this i WILL NOT lose my userdata, will I?
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
I'm not sure what that file is, but it's not the Google factory image. In fact, there is no factory image for LMY47M. Here's the link to all the official Nexus factory images >https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

When I updated from 5.0 to. 5.O.1, I just fastboot flashed radio, rebooted bootloader, fastboot flashed system, booted recovery, and flashed SuperSU zip. Android was updated and all my apps were in place. Everything worked perfectly.

In that case bootloader and boot hadn't been updated so I didn't mess with boot img.

I am stock, rooted, unlocked boot loader with stock recovery. I'm trying to sideload the OTA but my windows 8.1 machine will not show my device when using the command "adb devices" when my N6 is in the bootloader (windows sees the device [I have uninstalled and reinstalled drivers while in bootloader]) and to make matters worse, my computer will not even see my N6 when I go into recovery. Any thoughts? I've been looking around and I'm lost. I'd prefer to not lose my data, but will if there's no other option. By the way, I'm using the same computer and drivers I used to unlock the bootloader in the first place...
[Nexus 6  General] rubber guard:
also having driver issues w/ adb even though I haven't touched it since late 2014. Not sure why...
[Nexus 6  General] TurboFool:
Okay, I know mine's probably very simple, and I should already know the easy answer, but:

Just tried to sideload the OTA, and got an EMMC error about unexpected contents that references boot. I'm guessing this is because of my modified boot (via NRT) to disable encryption.

Fastest/easiest way to get around this and update successfully? I'm willing to encrypt this time.

EDIT: Decided to just flash the stock boot first, since I'm willing to move to encryption anyway. Seemed like the most logical solution.

Thx bro!
[Nexus 6  General] HipHopOtaku:
I'm interested in the same thing.
[Nexus 6  General] efrant:
You can no longer flash OTA updates using a custom recovery without modifying the updater-script file. There's an "error" in the script which, rather than checking the build fingerprint from /system, it checks it from RAM. So when you are booted in TWRP, it's actually reading the version that TWRP is based on, not your ROM.
[Nexus 6  General] efrant:
Niw that you are on 5.1, would you mind dumping your 5.1 boot image and posting it? (So that we could modify it for those of us that don't want to encrypt.) The factory images aren't out yet. Thanks.
[Nexus 6  General] efrant:
If you are booted into the bootloader, ADB will NOT see your device. Only fastboot will see it. Try "fastboot devices"
[Nexus 6  General] efrant:
You just have to delete (or modify if you want to keep the check in place) one line in the updater-script file:

getprop("ro.build.fingerprint") == "google/shamu/shamu:5.0.1/LRX22C/1602158:user/release-keys" ||
getprop("ro.build.fingerprint") == "google/shamu/shamu:5.1/LMY47D/1743759:user/release-keys" ||
abort("Package expects build fingerprint of google/shamu/shamu:5.0.1/LRX22C/1602158:user/release-keys or google/shamu/shamu:5.1/LMY47D/1743759:user/release-keys; this device has " + getprop("ro.build.fingerprint") + ".");

If you delete that, it should install using TWRP.

After booting into the bootloader I did drive the UI on the phone to the right place (i.e. it was prompting me to type "adb sideload <filename>").

I Googled around a bunch but all the "Device not found" hits appear to be about either adb not recognizing the device at all (i.e. adb devices does not work) or about needing to install a special driver for Windows (but I'm on Mac).

Any ideas? Thanks!

Once you see the dead android press volume up + power at the same time and you`ll get into recovery. There you can select adb sideload and flash the OTA.
