Where do you see that? In recovery mode? If so, you have to press power button + volume up if you're seeing the Android with the exclamation mark.

But to answer your question, yes, you'll get it eventually. Assuming you're a true T-Mobile customer and not like me, who's on MetroPCS ?
[Nexus 6  General] atcchris:
Personally, since I am on ATT, I will just wait until there is a factory image on the Google Dev page and then I'll use fastboot, minus the data wipe, and flash that.

I'm wondering what T-Mobile customers are to do, since Google doesn't seem to post the T-Mobile factory images to the site... Seems like T-Mobile's attempt to gain more control somehow...
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
ADB and stock recovery. Look up "ADB sideload". Have to be 100% stock (no root), and stock, encrypted kernel.
[Nexus 6  General] Oakley707:
To confirm, were you just flashing from stock unencrypted?
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
I was on stock 47D unencrypted. Fastboot flashed stock boot.img, but did not boot up. Then using phone touchscreen, booted stock recovery. Did ADB sideload, then using stock recovery menu, returned to bootloader. Fastboot flashed TWRP, then flashed the no_encrypt kernel .zip that you can find in Android Development section. I wasn't sure that this would work, but it did.

Edit: MY BAD: Meant to say stock 47D unencrypted.
[Nexus 6  General] Oakley707:
To confirm, you obviously have an unlocked bootloader. Are you not rooted then? Sorry, should have asked you the first time.
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
Yes, bootloader unlocked. I was rooted, but you have to fastboot flash the stock 47D system. img to unroot first. And I don't mind the questions.
[Nexus 6  General] Oakley707:
Thank you for the quick responses. So you had to lose all data that way then? I'll wait for the factory image to be posted and fastboot the 'ol fashioned way.

Thanks again.
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
No. Lost no data.
[Nexus 6  General] Oakley707:
I'm not trying to threadjack...

Interesting, so you fastbooted back to stock system.img, then adb sideloaded the update then fastbooted TWRP flashed root and rebooted? I'll need to look into the ADB sideload part, haven't done that before. Always used fastboot with the stock factory images.
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
Correct
[Nexus 6  General] bloodiedwraith:
Factory image is posted for LMY47Z and says Sprint, USC only.

I just tried to sideload the OTA on my Motorola purchased Nexus 6 that I use on VZW (I'm currently on LMY47D) and it just gave me an error message saying system partition has unexpected contents ... strange since I've never rooted my Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6  General] JetBlk:
That is weird. I did the same thing (LMY47D on VZW, sideload LMY47Z) and it worked fine. On it now
[Nexus 6  General] bloodiedwraith:
Just tried it again and same issue. I have done absolutely nothing to the device I wonder what is causing that?
[Nexus 6  General] twostep665:
So of I'm on at&t and 47M , what do I need to to get 5.1.1? Sideload or do o need to go back to C ?
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
Have any apps "Disabled" in settings/apps? Have you ever been rooted? Stock kernel (encrypted)?

---------- Post added at 03:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:03 PM ----------

I would suggest that the easiest way is to download the 47Z factory image from Google, extract the contents and flash each .img file.

Different Builds/Images

Here is a clarification that explains all the Google Images http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...-builds-why-they-exist-and-what-it-all-means/.
[Nexus 6  General] cyberon:
The article seems to be wrong, there's still no build for the international Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
There is a 5.1.1 OTA available (LMY47D to LMY47Z) here http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/ref-nexus-6-stock-ota-urls-t2906493 for the International devices, just adb sideload in stock recovery. If that is what you mean :)
[Nexus 6  General] cyberon:
That OTA seems to be to Sprint/USC as seen on the factory image Google released.
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
You probably didn`t read it correctly, this https://android.googleapis.com/pack...Y47Z-from-LMY47D-fullradio-fix-superblock.zip is the OTA to update LMY47D to LMY47Z ;)

This is not the Image but the update of about 100MB.
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
[MENTION=2743227]gee2012[/MENTION]

FWIW: I flashed the OTA to 47Z this morning. Reverted to 47D this afternoon. And flashed the factory image for 47Z a couple of hours ago. Z OTA is identical to Z factory image (of course).
[Nexus 6  General] cyberon:
It seems that only users on Sprint/USC are getting that OTA, not international Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
Do you have the 101R radio too on 47Z?
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
Yes
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
So do you mean to say that the posted 47D to 47Z OTA is not meant for the International Nexus 6?
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
Not at all. What I'm trying to say is that the 47Z OTA and the factory image for 47Z are identical (obviously). There's no need for Peep's to sweat bullets over the OTA.
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
Aah oke, was starting to have doubts over the correct version again ;). Though it couldn`t have been flashed if 47D wasn`t installed. Now i`am out of thanks, owe you one ;)
[Nexus 6  General] :
FWIW, I was running the T-Mobile image and radio just fine. I'm now stock rooted LMY47Z with TWRP.
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
Welcome back! ?
[Nexus 6  General] gallinas2:
Just installed LMY47Z Factory image on AT&T version with no issues works great. Seems to be much snappier especially when switching on wifi and bluetooth.
[Nexus 6  General] jamexman:
It appears so. If you check Google's own Nexus factory images pages, it clearly says "only for Sprint/US cellular" (lmy47z).
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
It's also the international build. I have a friend in England who claims to have received it.
[Nexus 6  General] jamexman:
Do you thinks they could have made some Sprint specific tweaks on the one they posted on their page? I would suspect so, otherwise they wouldn't have put "sprint/us cellular only".
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
I think they put "Sprint/USC Only" on it because a) They know that most traffic to that page comes from the US and b) They don't want ATT/VZW/TMO users flashing it. Sprint and USCC have consistently used the international upgrade path and there is zero reason to think it's different this time around.
[Nexus 6  General] bloodiedwraith:
So I finally got this to the OTA for LMY47Z to install. I never disabled any system apps and nothing was showing as disabled through Apps on my phone however I went into the Play Store and I just searched for Google apps and apparently there were a few that were showing as disabled there that I wasn't aware of so I'm guessing these were the culprits? Can anyone confirm whether all of these need to be enabled for future OTAs? I'm still curious how the LMY47D OTA file had no problems when I did it.

Google Apps Device Policy

Google Pinyin

Google Korean

Google Hindi

Google Japanese
[Nexus 6  General] xdatastic:
Those apps are disabled by default. Won't affect the OTA process at all. If you change your language to Indian/Hindi for example, the device will enable them automatically.

It's the same for Google Wallet for us Australian users. Wallet is disabled in Google Play (but doesnt show at all in Settings > Apps) and can be enabled in the Play app (and then asks for an update)
[Nexus 6  General] bloodiedwraith:
I had to enable one or all of those to take the OTA so yeah lol weird

Now I wish there was a way to disable them from the device again and not have the disabled tab just like it was before -_-
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
LMY47Z is terrible for me, the 101R radio sucks in capital letters and i loose wifi all the time wich i never experienced before, I lost over 60% battery during the night wich is unuaual with the same apps i always always use . Yes i did a factory reset after installing the OTA but i rollled back to 47D for now :(

-EDIT- Turned out there was a problem with my connection and router, my ISP fixed it today and both wifi and radio are good now after i reinstalled LMY47Z :)
[Nexus 6  General] Shift2win:
This may have already been answered but going through 43 pages is too much lol. Tried updating to 5.1.1 through OTA. Keep getting "Error". Is the only other way to sideload it or is there something else I can try? Stock N6 with bootloader unlocked.
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
After installing the 47Z OTA followed by a data factory reset my wifi keeps dissapearing all the time and i`am on 4G, also the 101R radio sucks big time for me and apps that usual use very few power now drain the battery. Lost 62% of battery during a 7 hr. night. Rolled back to 47D for now :( I have my doubts wether this OTA is meant for the EU (rest of the world).
[Nexus 6  General] cyberon:
This sucks big time, international version should be the first release, not freaking carriers. I miss my Nexus 4.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
5.1.1 (For T-Mobile ONLY) (LYZ28E)

Thx for the trial/error.

I am on T-Mobile (Netherlands). For now I keep using LMY47D.

There are 2 new factory images for the N6 with version 5.1.1

5.1.1 (For Sprint, USC ONLY) (LMY47Z)

5.1.1 (For T-Mobile ONLY) (LYZ28E)

Like you, I had to enable all of these to install the OTA.

---------- Post added at 07:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 AM ----------

I can't comment on your cellular experience, but I'm surprised that you're dropping WiFi. The 101R radio has not been any problem for me (neither LTE, nor WiFi). Is there another potential root cause?
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
It may not be the ROMs fault. My internet/router is down when I came home just now so maybe there we're issue's with it since yesterday evening ☺ They are fixing the problem now and after that I'll try again.

I am stock rooted with stock recovery and got an error while trying to ota to the 5.1.1 28E T-Mobile build. Is it because I'm rooted?
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
You can`t install the OTA when you are rooted and/or modified the system in any way. You`ll have to fastboot erase system and flash the system.img, erase and flash cache.img and sideload the OTA in stock recovery after you rebooted. You can find the OTA in my sig. no.1. Or just flash the new factory image in fastboot.
[Nexus 6  General] yankeesfan714:
I'm at work away and away from my PC. Can I unroot in super su and factory reset or do I need to flash stock?
[Nexus 6  General] :
Need to flash stock.
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
You need to fastboot flash the stock system.img.

And if you're going to do that, why not just skip the OTA and fastboot flash all the 5.1.1 .img files and be done with it?
[Nexus 6  General] yankeesfan714:
If I can jump from 47M to 28E by using a toolkit then yes I will. I have fat shaky hands so adb makes me nervous.

I just got the OTA notice that the 5.1.1 update is available for me. But my system partition was modified so I wanted to restore the stock system partition and then accept the OTA. So I extracted the system.img from the stock image and flashed it using:

fastboot flash system system.img

But now after it boots up, it just boots to a black screen. I can't do anything except hold the power button at which point I see the "Power Off" menu option and can shut the phone off. I'll even hear the notification sound as if I just got a notification (I'd assume it's the OTA notification).

Can anyone help me on why is my phone not booting to Android properly and how do I get it working properly so I can accept the OTA?

Thanks for any help.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Fastboot format cache, see if that helps.

Have TWRP installed? Factory reset in TWRP.
[Nexus 6  General] mrb1ue:
I was hoping not to factory reset everything, but if I need to I will eventually.

I didn't know if there was a way to see what should be on the screen, or see why the screen isn't on. Or I didn't know if there was a way to update to 5.1.1 from the factory image w/out losing my data/apps?
[Nexus 6  General] :
Factory reset in TWRP will only wipe your apps, not your SD card. So data loss is minimal.
[Nexus 6  General] mrb1ue:
I was hoping to save things like text messages and call log, which is why I wanted to do the OTA. I've done this previously (restored the factory system.img) and updated from OTA. Not sure why this one is giving me issues.
[Nexus 6  General] mrb1ue:
FYI: I think I found the culprit. I was using MCR modpack, and noticed that if I reload MCR modpack I got my display back and my phone was working as expected. So I posted the question over there.

Hello all, major noob here

I am experienced with rooting and kexec hacks (droid x days) however, an unlock boot loader is completely new to me and I have a few Q's about updating to these new ota's

I currently have a complete stock droid maxx that is my activates device (Verizon) I bought the Nexus 6 wanting to activate it. I first unlocked and rooted it, multi rommed and everything else.

My nexus 6 is unactivated and running LRX22C (5.0.1) and I want it to run Verizon's update. Here come the noob Q's...

Is there a way I can flash these on my phone? (I read else where that it must only be computer, but maybe it was a different ota)

Must I relock the phone? And if so, will I lose the ability to unlock?

Basically, if someone can leave a link to where I must go, I'd love it. Thanks again!
[Nexus 6  General] angelossssss:
I'm on 5.1 unlocked bl/twrp/rooted.

so if i want to sideload the new ota, i'll have to extract from the ota zip, the system and the boot.img. Then use wugfresh's tool and flash them?

But if i do flash those will i lose root/bl/twrp?
[Nexus 6  General] jamexman:
Just temporarily. Once you have upgraded to 5.1.1 you can re-root and flash TWRP again with the toolkit.

I upgraded to 5.1.1 using the tool without even wiping (choose flash stock+unroot), then on the next screen select force flash and no wipe. You'll end up with an upgraded 5.1.1 phone without even wiping (I just made sure I didn't have any "Xtreme mods" like exposed or so).

After all is done you can root again and install twrp if you want with the tool. You don't need to sideload anything, the tool will download everything you need. Just make sure you tell it to download the factory image that corresponds your phone.
[Nexus 6  General] angelossssss:
thanks for your help. just upgraded and everything works like a charm.
[Nexus 6  General] eclipse398:
i tried using the nrt with force flash and no wipe with the ota link from lmy47l to lmy47z but it came up with an error about extraction.

any help appreciated.
[Nexus 6  General] jamexman:
Ota link? Are you sure you're using wugfresh's tool? You don't even need to give it a link, just select which factory image you want to flash from its own pull down menu.

If you need more guidance let's take the talk on wugfresh's thread, let's not clutter this one.

No official answer for that, sorry. Until AT&T releases the OTA, we don't know.
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:

Well then I'll go with 47D and wait .....for the att OTA.

If you are going to fastboot flash the 47D factory image, why not just flash the 47Z image? End result will be the same.

My N6 was on LMY47D and I waited for the OTA version 5.1.1.

Recently I got the OTA message for 5.1.1. I decided to unroot and install the OTA.

After the update my N6 shows LMY47Z. I did not expect that, because the factory amage LYM47Z is marked with 'For Sprint US only'

And I am in the Netherlands (T-Mob)

Rooted again, reflashed FrancoKernel and black Google Now Launcher and set the DPI back to 384 (tablet mode.)

Now the third day, no issues. Indeed there is no reason to wait for the OTA, could have flashed a factory image earlier.
