Oh gotcha. Yea I am rooted and unlocked. Makes sense now. Sorry ignore my naïveté.
[Nexus 6  General] carboncache:
I'm 100% stock and unrooted, and I am also receiving Error Status 7 using the LMY48I on an AT&T Nexus 6. Is there any chance having deleted everything in the OEM partition would have messed me up? I'm getting an error about an unexpected content on a partition and something about an error with /sideload/package.zip.
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
No, the OEM partition has no bearing on OTAs. Is your bootloader unlocked? If so, that might be why.
[Nexus 6  General] carboncache:
My bootloader is relocked, status code 2, after having flashed a factory image from Google to get to 5.1.
[Nexus 6  General] oldblue910:
Did you wipe data after you did that? If not, that's probably why.
[Nexus 6  General] carboncache:
I could have swore I was pretty thorough in wiping data and cache partitions both before and after, and I haven't ever dirty flashed the system partition to upgrade. I've never had this problem with the Nexus S, GNex, N4, N5, N7 2012 or N7 2013, either in flashing factory images or in sideloading OTA zips (when possible). I guess it's possible I made a mistake with flashing the factory image this time, but I've never seen an error status 7 until the N6.

I'm half tempted to factory image down from 5.1.1 (LMY47Z) to either 5.0 or 5.1 , get the notification to update to 5.1.1, and see if that works. If it does, I could try the OTA to 5.1.1 (LMY48I) again.
[Nexus 6  General] Deckard_9732:
OK ... Dumb Question(s) - How do I update to the current Project Fi Build LVY48E? I have downloaded the posted Zip File (LVY48E from LVY48C - https://android.googleapis.com/packa...rblock-fix.zip) - Does this affect the LVY48C Radios? - Prior instructions said to just flash the system image if the radios were not changed but this is not a factory image .zip file? - I am rooted, unlocked, decrypted (Stock Rom w/Hells Core Kernel), and have TWRP recovery installed and I don't want to lose any data, get encrypted, change the bootloader or lose my custom recovery. Any help is appreciated :)
[Nexus 6  General] Khun_Ken:
Thanks for ota link.

I just sideloaded OTA LMY48I from LMY47Z.

no problem at all.

Thank you again.
[Nexus 6  General] JasonJoel:
Same here. Worked perfectly.
[Nexus 6  General] efrant:
What is the actual error?

Bootloader lock state also has not bearing on OTAs.

When re-locked, the Nexus 6 bootloader forces the stock recovery to perform a wipe.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Have you unencrypted? This will also cause OTA to fail with status 7.
[Nexus 6  General] Milamber:
Excellent! Did you do this via wugs tool kit? I'm new to nexus 6.
[Nexus 6  General] Khun_Ken:
No. I did not use tool kit.
[Nexus 6  General] PUERTO_RUK:
Since you sideloaded, I presume your're rooted. If so, how did you keep root or gain it back if you didn't use the toolkit?
[Nexus 6  General] Khun_Ken:
Sorry. My N6 is stock and bootloader unlocked.

And sideload does not need rooting.

I just used 'adb' command in my mac.

Have a good day.
[Nexus 6  General] tdoughone:
I'm on tmo unlocked and rooted. Is it possible to download it and flash it or do I have to do it from my pc? For the 5.1.1 I downloaded from here and flashed straight from my phone. When I flash the new one I get an error.
[Nexus 6  General] PUERTO_RUK:
I know sideloading does't require root, however you didn't elaborate on the method you used to push the img. Thanks for responding.

---------- Post added at 13:22 ---------- Previous post was at 13:12 ----------

I did the same thing you did for 5.1.1. I didn't feel like going through the hassle of having to restore EVERYTHING on my phone after using Wugs to wipe and revert back to OTB. There was a link in the general section with all the stock imgs but rooted. I'm still trying to find it.
[Nexus 6  General] jcsww:
I used the full image and fastboot to upgrade. Don't flash the user data image and once you are done flashing, boot into stock recover and wipe cache and allow it to boot. Then you can reinstall TWRP and root all while preserving your apps and everything else.
[Nexus 6  General] stevexyz0:
Just posting to confirm that I've been running LMY47Z on Verizon and I was just offered the OTA to LMY48I. I checked the URL and it's the same 47Z->48I OTA already posted at the beginning of this thread. I'm using a Moto-purchased N6 in case anybody's curious, since there have been intermittent questions about whether Verizon would push OTAs to non-Verizon devices.
[Nexus 6  General] gdriggs:

[Nexus 6  General] jlsat:
The factory image is posted. Can I flash system and boot images from twrp? I tried doing system with a previous version and couldn't choose the system partition.
[Nexus 6  General] jlsat:
OK, I flashed boot, flashed system from the new stock rom on the google website. Then rerooted per the earlier post. It worked. Thanks!

Just wondering if the original OTA download is still in the phone somewhere so I can delete it with file manager and save space. Anyone know?
[Nexus 6  General] efrant:
It should be deleted automatically once you are updated, and the device checks for a new update.

As for location, I believe it is located in /data/data/com.google.android.gms/app_download/
[Nexus 6  General] rubber guard:
I've looked on here a couple times, but does anyone know if there is a stock rooted ZIP for the stagefright OTA? link? TIA.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Why not just fastboot flash the system image and re-root?
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
I agree with the recommendation of [MENTION=5302753]Evolution_Tech[/MENTION].

However, if you want a TWRP flashable .zip go here > http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/development/n6-shamu-lmy48i-deodexed-rooted-v1-0-08-t3176117
[Nexus 6  General] efrant:
Keep in mind though, that while based on a stock image, that ROM is deodexed.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
For OTA your device must be complete stock.

IBack to stock to update with OTA, but before that I tried another method. Just flashed the new system.img on my rooted N6.

Both methods were used, because I wanted to see possible differences.

Both update methods have the same results. Data and apps were kept but there were changes:

a. Changes in build.prop gone (DPI, Wifi interval);

b. Standard icons because the DPI value 384 was changed to 560;

c. BGN-launcher replaced. Google Now launcher became white again;

d. Root gone (SuperSu and Busybox);

(Of course returning to stock, replaces the custom kernel).

After the updates the following was needed:

- reflash/reinstall SuperSU and Busybox to get root access;

- edit the file: system/build.prop to change the dpi and wifi interval;

- reflash the Black Google Now launcher

- uninstall updates of the Google app to get BGN-launcher working;

- replacing icons from drawer to start screen.

So when you have made changes to the system, like DPI settings, custom rom/kernel etx, an update will leave your data alone, but not the settings.

Hope this is something you can use.

Update from LMY47D

Hey everyone, I have a T-mobile N6 that I've never used with T-Mobile, just Fi Network. Current build is LMY47D. Is there a TWRP-flashable path that will get me to the latest update (stagefright patch)? (And is the latest update LMY48I?)

I'm on stock, rooted, with Xposed (romracer) installed. I don't mind going another route, but I want to keep my data partition (or be able to flash it back from a TWRP backup).

I tried updating to LMY47Z (as it seemed I was reading the update path was LMY47D -> LMY47Z -> LMY48I) last night from a factory image, using NRT Updater, but it failed miserably and I couldn't even connect to usb at fastboot. Thankfully a TWRP recovery fixed that, but I don't want to repeat my mistake...

[Nexus 6  General] EpicCyndaquil:
Can you confirm which image I should download? I don't entirely understand if the "For T-Mobile Only"/"Fi" messages are referring to the physical device, or the networks I'll use them on.
[Nexus 6  General] :
T-Mobile only. It's for the sim you currently have. :)
[Nexus 6  General] EpicCyndaquil:
Since I'm on the Google Fi network, that means I'd grab LVY48E, NOT the T-Mobile build (LYZ28J), right?
[Nexus 6  General] :
I thought I read that you had T-Mobile. My mistake, sorry. ???

Yes, if you have a Fi sim, use the Fi image.
[Nexus 6  General] efrant:
The network you'll use it on.
[Nexus 6  General] EpicCyndaquil:
Can I skip flashing userdata? Or will that not work?
[Nexus 6  General] :
Yes, otherwise it will wipe data.
[Nexus 6  General] boomerbubba:
It's more complicated than that. The way Google provisions Project Fi users' phones is as follows:

Devices originally purchased through the Fi sales channel are loaded with LVY48E. This build bakes the Project Fi controlling app into its stock ROM.

All other devices are loaded with LYZ28J. The so-called "T-Mobile build" thus is a bit of a misnomer. This build uses a Project Fi app downloaded from the Play Store.

Eventually these builds are supposed be unified. Personally, I would prefer the simple architecture with the standalone app, because it is reportedly easier to SIM-swap the Nexus with other carriers.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
Good list.

Till now six images with version 5.1.1, and four have a note ' For x only '

When there is stated ' T-Mobile ' it means ' T-Mobile US '.

I know that because my carrier is T-Mobile Europe (dutch) and the N6 got OTA's for LMY47Z and LMY48i.

It is a tearjerker to see you in the US struggling with carriers, images and projects. [emoji27]
[Nexus 6  General] geekabilly:
I'm running LVY48E with an AT&T SIM, no problems
[Nexus 6  General] boomerbubba:
I don't know of any specific errors or issues that occur. I am just describing what Google has actually provisioned as stock phones activated for Project Fi. The Fi staff say that any current build should work and provide the same user experience.

And just overnight, I learned that there is also a third set of phones on Fi that are running the generic LMY48I build by design. Those are BYOD devices that started out on Sprint, Verizon, or AT&T, or possibly never activated on any carrier's SIM, first updated to the latest LMY48I OTA, then joined Fi. Such devices would remain on LMY48I after activating with a Fi SIM. But this is the only stock OTA path that would end up with this build.

Earlier builds from Sprint, etc. that joined Fi before the latest round of Stagefright updates were updated first to the LYZ28E (the earlier build in the T-Mobile fork). Then the latest round of OTAs updated these phones to LYZ28J. That is my case, BTW. My phone was purchased from the Play Store and ran on Sprint before I joined Fi, then was updated for the Stagefright fix later.

Eventually, they say the builds are supposed to be unified.

I think the question for someone here, who is self-flashing factory builds today, is the reverse: Why go out of your way to install the Fi-specific LVY48E build that is more complex and forked further from the main Nexus development path? LVY48E bakes the Project Fi app into its stock ROM, installing it by default. If any other carrier put carrier-specific stuff into their stock build this community would denounce it as bloatware and complain that the carrier had bastardized pure Android. There is no known advantage functionally to run LVY48E. The other builds just need a standalone Project Fi app from the Play Store.

So personally, I think the sooner things unify the better. Meanwhile, if I were flashing a factory build I would prefer one of the cleaner builds that was not Fi-specific. I hope Google finds a way to unify Fi around the general Nexus development chain, not a permanent "Fi build" fork.
[Nexus 6  General] boomerbubba:
I know of no advantage to this, but I don't pretend to know in detail. (In fact, Google has never explained exactly why they took this forked path in the first place.) I just am unaware of anyone claiming any advantage.

You just download the Project Fi app from the Play Store. The instructions for activating a stock BYOD device are in this Project Fi help page.

hi

i do apply update from adb and in update i have this error:

e:error in /sideload/package.zip

whats problem?

my rom version LMY47I

i download LMY48I from LMY47Z - https://android.googleapis.com/packa...rblock-fix.zip

this correct?

or i use other ota link?
[Nexus 6  General] :
You have either rooted your device or modified your kernel in some way.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Also, there is no 47I image. You either have 47Z or 47M. The correct OTA would start looking for one of those and give you 48I when finished.
[Nexus 6  General] boomerbubba:
Since I wrote that, I have become aware that some users think there are Fi performance advantages in the special radio bundled in this build. But no one really know for sure, because the radio is a black box, and Google won't say what the difference is.

Sorry to get off topic for the thread. The whole subject really belongs elsewhere. Just correcting the record of my prior comment.

thank you so much
[Nexus 6  General] :
Ahh, I see. You are still on 5.1.0.

If you wish to update from there via OTA sideload, you must follow this procedure:

OTA for LMY47Z from LMY47I first.

Then you would have to do:

LMY48I from LMY47Z

All of which can be found here:

Or, unlock your bootloader and just flash the factory image for LMY48I.

I am trying to sideload an OTA on my nexus 6 since tmobile is still "testing" marshmallow. I keep getting an unusual error during the abd sideload update.zip step. It will keep giving me a null device error. Then when I check fastboot devices it does not show up and my device manager shows the nexus 6 with the yellow exclamation. It will not let me reinstall or update the driver.

If I restart everything the drivers seem fine and the phone shows up under adb andd fastboot just fine.

Any ideas?

Edit: Got it working by selecting the driver from known drivers list since I had uninstalled with usbdeview and reinstalled google drivers manually. After that it updated fine and didn't disconnect during the adb sideload.

No, not if there isn't an OTA file for that. You will need to go in order when side loading, as each OTA looks for the proper previous version.

or can i just root, unlock, flash recovery and then flash a rom?

so what you mean is, for me to be able to sideload, i have to wait the ota first?? just correct me if im wrong

No, you would sideload the update from 5.1 to 5.1.1 then sideload 5.1.1 to 6.0
[Nexus 6  General] boomerbubba:
It is more complicated. Within 5.1.1 there have been three sequential OTAs in each fork, each with its own destination build. Those three sequential builds correlate to the first three monthly security updates pushed out by Google. The sequential OTAs would have to be loaded in the correct order.
