Thanks Bill very helpful, also thanks for not suggesting I start another thread to ask a question in Q&A, to me this is what user forums are about..... helping people.....
[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
While that may be what this forum is to you, there are rules and you are breaking them. I don't report people but I can tell you that others do and the mods here aren't what I would call understanding.
[Nexus 6  General] Gage_Hero:
Thanks for the tip.... been here since 2010 think I'll keep doing what I do..... I don't see the harm in asking a question in the relevant thread , you have better chance at getting an answer than posting a new individual thread. We all gotta do what we gotta do.... although I do agree starting a question thread in general is a no no and yes the mods will jump on that in a heartbeat......
[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
They aren't my rules and I certainly would moderate these forums differently if they were my forums but they aren't. I don't see any harm in much of what the mods come down on people for.

The only reason I even responded to you is because your post was mocking me, which was unnecessary and rude. Maybe I need to rethink not reporting people.
[Nexus 6  General] SilkyJohnson:
It's a myth that you have to check that. You can still use the fastboot OEM unlock command without ever booting into the OS once. Trust me.

Edit: SCRATCH THAT

Unreal that Google would do this. Obviously new to 5.1. Hope everyone gets fixed up.

[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
this is the first time I've been beat, I guess I'll wait for a flashable zip for twrp, been at it for a few hours flashing stock recoveries, unrooting, etc, but i couldn't get the update to sideload, just kept getting an error, so I just put twrp back on and will be patient, just sucks because this is the first time I've never flashed roms, just stayed stock and rooted with a custom recovery....thought this would be the best way to go :(
[Nexus 6  General] the3dolla:
All you have to do is download 5.0.1 factory image. Extraxt recovery.img and system.img. Flash each seperatly in the nexus toolkit. Then use the same toolkit to side load the ota. No data lost, etc. I did have to do the net.provision add-on in the build.prop though. It seems to be a speedier device, maybe that's just because I wiped cache when doing it though.

Also on verizon you can download the 4636 app to turn volte provisioning on to use advanced calling.

---------- Post added at 02:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 AM ----------

Oh and after I was done I re-rooted with the same toolkit before doing the build.prop edit. I decided I didn't need to flah custom recovery again, I never use it anyways.
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
Will have to try this in the morning
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
Dude stop promoting these darned toolkits, rather teach anyone how to use adb/fastboot/bootloader/sdk-tools :p'

BTW the sdk tools are updated, open sdk manager.exe and see what you have to update.

Does HD Voice work for anyone? I don't notice a difference. Do i have to activate it? My network definitely supports it, tested it yesterday with two note 4s on o2 germany. I have noticed that network connections falls back to gprs as soon as i start a call.
[Nexus 6  General] t2noob:
I wasnt able to get the ota to work... I updated all my sdk fastboot etc nothing... It would get to like 47 % then error out... So I went back to stock for nothing lol but I really wanted that volte on vzw lol..... What did you guys to get it to work?

[Nexus 6  General] leekeene:
all sorry for a complete newbie question here. i have a Vodafone N6 with a Three Mobile SIM in. i want to update from 5.0.1 to 5.1. i am completely stock no root straight out of the box style.

am i right i need to do the following?

download file from here --> http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...gs-android-5-1-ota-roundup-for-nexus-devices/

use these instructions to install --> http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/guide-flash-factory-images-nexus-6shamu-t2954008

is this EXACTLY the same as OTA update no unlocking not rooted etc exactly how if left for auto update?

many thanks

lee
[Nexus 6  General] papi5120:
That link is for the ota and the instruction are for installing a factory image. They have different processes.
[Nexus 6  General] leekeene:
ok. what what do i need to do then? im very confused lol

ive come from an Iphone to this so jailbreaking was seemed simple
[Nexus 6  General] gunigugu:
Should I be able to sideload this from stock recovery? it seems ADB isn't available in stock recovery, any ideas why? Nothing is appearing in device manage. ADB works fine from normal OS and Fastboot is working fine from the bootloader too. Just can't get ADB running from stock recovery.
[Nexus 6  General] eservant:
follow these instructions
[Nexus 6  General] leekeene:
cheers http://www.androidcentral.com/how-manually-upgrade-your-nexus#slide5

Noticed a new quirk (feature?) When playing music through my cars Bluetooth on both google music and Pandora when ever I manually fast forward to next song the screen now lights up for about 5 seconds.
[Nexus 6  General] eservant:
yes you do.
[Nexus 6  General] jde984:
No, you do not need to unlock to sideload an ota. You do to flash factory images.
[Nexus 6  General] gunigugu:
To answer this question. It appears the nexus 6 didn't like my USB 3.0 ports. Plugging into a different port has fixed the issue.
[Nexus 6  General] roaddaw9:
OK the previous answer didn't click for me. If one is unlocked bootloader and rooted, what are the best steps to do to upgrade without losing root? ((Obviously on 5.01 now)

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 6  General] leekeene:
Yes... No.. the confusion lol
[Nexus 6  General] dunjamon:
I'd wait for the factory image. I'm in the same position and I've heard a lot of people having issues with the OTA and having to flash factory 5.0.1 and then apply the OTA from there. The Factory image should be out soon no doubt.
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
well besides the people who really don't know how to do it, I think most of us just like not having to do everything by hand for once,lol, I know that's me:D
[Nexus 6  General] dunjamon:
To be fair I used to use the toolkits when I first started playing with android. It's a good starting point to see how things work.
[Nexus 6  General] jj14:
Assuming you are looking to upgrade using the stock images/ota (instead of flashing a rooted ROM), you can't. You will lose root and need to reroot after upgrading.

You can't take OTA unless you are completely stock (unrooted). And if you use factory images, you will lose root. Rerooting is not a biggie anyway on a Nexus

jde984 is correct. You can ADB SIDELOAD an OTA update file without having to unlock the bootloader. To flash factory images however, you need an unlocked bootloader

Edit: read http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/info-nexus-5-ota-help-desk-t2523217 - Section A: adb sideload talks about how to do this for a Nexus 5, but the same steps should work for the Nexus 6 as well - just make sure you are using the correct OTA file (for the Nexus 6). Don't try the OTA files listed in that post as those are for the Nexus 5

Not trying to get into an argument here, but to find out how things work, using a toolkit is counterproductive because it tries to do everything for you, without the user learning anything about the process (and if something goes wrong, the user has no clue about what was done, and what went wrong).
[Nexus 6  General] jj14:
Rooting won't cause you to lose your apps etc. Since your bootloader is unlocked, you should be safe.

You have two options really.

Flash the 5.0.1 images (skip userdata), and then, flash OTA file, and then, root

Wait till 5.1 image is available, flash it (skip userdata), and then root.

I'm waiting on the 5.1 image (at least that's the plan - unless I get impatient). Hopefully today. I may be mistaken, but this seems to be the first time OTA file has been available before the factory images :)
[Nexus 6  General] roaddaw9:
Thanks, but if you flash the bootloader file won't you also wipe recovery? Or is that the point you have to reapply root and custom recovery?
[Nexus 6  General] jj14:
Sorry, I should have been more clear in my steps - yes, you are correct. Flash the image, flash recovery, and then, flash supersu to root. It is just one command each to flash the recovery and then to root:)

In the past (pre 5.0), you could skip the recovery image when flashing the OTA file, but now, it looks for your device to be completely stock, so you will need stock recovery to flash OTA.
[Nexus 6  General] Rizqan7:
Well...
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
I just flashed system.img and boot.img and then side loaded OTA. All my data is there.
[Nexus 6  General] Gage_Hero:
Sideload ota

Seem to be a few people (new ones like me) looking for instructions for sideloading when completely stock and bootloader locked I found these.... https://www.androidbeat.com/2015/03/sideload-android-5-1-ota-update-nexus-5-6-7-10/ also from what I have read, if you do choose to unlock the bottloader, be sure to back up all your data because the process will erase it... along with your apps if I am not mistaken, again this is only from what I have read... I haven't done anything with this phone yet..... all very new to me coming from a S4.
[Nexus 6  General] roaddaw9:
Assuming system.img and boot.img were the 5.01 files correct?
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
That's correct. I saw Franco post the steps so I gave it a whirl.
[Nexus 6  General] mijkz:
I'm assuming you were on stock recovery, though. If you've installed a custom recovery you'll also need to flash 5.0.1 stock recovery.img for the OTA to work.
[Nexus 6  General] DavidWalton:
For anyone with a stock N6 who can't wait for the OTA, I've created a .zip file which includes all the software, update files and instructions to update from 5.0.1 to 5.1.0

Just add stock N6, windows PC and USB cable to do it. I did it without data loss and am now running LMY47D

The thing is, despite lurking for years and years, I've only just registered (!!!) and so can't post any download links to it :confused:

Looks like I'm now cooking with gas!

Had to google a few things to figure out what I was doing, found a few posts in this thread. Reverted my Nexus 6 to total stock, unrooted, then sideloaded the OTA using Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit. Now re-rooting, seems to be working. At the moment, it's rebuilding its cache.
[Nexus 6  General] Lemagex:
Wishing I had waited now. Camera won't work but everything else does
[Nexus 6  General] kng60ft:
my bootloader is locked and im rooted, so does that mean i have to re-lock the bootloader and unroot? or do i just need to unroot to sideload the ota that i downoaded? oh and also im using wug tool kit as well.
[Nexus 6  General] Kchitown1977:
I believe you do have to have locked bootloader... That's how I did it, didn't try with unlocked bootloader
[Nexus 6  General] Smallsmx3:
Or you can install twrp and flash the ota zip that is in the Dev section
[Nexus 6  General] Lemagex:

[Nexus 6  General] EmperorX:
This is common on Win 8, 8.1 and Win 10 PC's. I have found that (since I have NO devices with USB 2.0) the best way to fix this is simply unplug the phone WHILE it is in stock recovery and plug it back in. The device shows up immediately. Profit.
[Nexus 6  General] dblake15:
Yeah I didnt see it either. I dont believe there is a flashable OTA yet.

Sharing my experience

- Used the OTA

- Like others, flashed boot.img and system.img from 5.01

- Booted back to the OS (This is just me being careful)

- Sideloaded the OTA for 5.1

- Booted back to the OS (Again being careful)

- Reapplied root and recovery

- Success!, no data lost

[Nexus 6  General] Hereisphilly:
You can update by retaining custom recovery, but you will loose root and without a modified boot.img your phone will encrypt itself on 1st boot

Best wait till someone posts one for 5.1 or a 5.1 custom kernel

Follow these steps http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...-0-factory-images-heres-how-to-get-around-it/ but ignore the recovery flash if you want to retain your custom recovery, and swap the boot images over

Once booted, just go back to recovery and re-root, easy
[Nexus 6  General] casonswag:

[Nexus 6  General] anuraj1:

[Nexus 6  General] Evo_Shift:
I am not sure if it is the way I flash the images or what but after flashing factory images to this phone I am left with 23.03 total storage space. If I then go back into the bootloader after I am done flashing everything and use the fastboot -w command it reformats and/or repartitions something and I end up with 25.98 total storage space. Obviously this won't work if you do not want to do a factory reset.

[Nexus 6  General] stevetrooper:
Got it to work, didn't flash boot.img the first time. Tried again and the OTA sideloaded just fine.
[Nexus 6  General] mijkz:
Hmm - something odd happening here. I've fastboot flashed bootloader, radio (rebooted back to bootloader) then flashed boot, system and cache. Rebooted phone and confirmed that 5.1 was installed and running fine.

I then rebooted into recovery, only to find that TWRP has been replaced by the stock recovery, even though I didn't flash the stock recovery.img. Not only that - if I re-flash TWRP and then reboot, it's still booting to stock recovery. I just don't seem to be able to get TWRP to stick.

This is like the OnePlus One where the recovery gets updated to stock when there's a system update unless you disable it in developer mode. Have Google added something like this to the N6 in 5.1?
[Nexus 6  General] funkpod:
Is there a 5.1 .zip that I can use to flash in twrp yet?
[Nexus 6  General] mijkz:
Solved!

1) Flash TWRP

2) Reboot straight into recovery from bootloader - TWRP will run

3) Flash SuperSU

4) Reboot

5) TWRP "sticks" this time.

Thanks to cam30era for the suggestion :)

Still doesn't explain why TWRP was overwritten by stock recovery, even though I didn't flash stock recovery...

[Nexus 6  General] Luxferro:
Android, by default, will replace whatever recovery you have installed on boot (with the stock recovery), unless that is disabled... which is why you lost twrp when you rebooted to check if 5.1 flashed successfully.
